Golf just isn't one of those sports that tends to make headlines the way football and basketball do. But thanks to Lucy Li, the sport is suddenly interesting. The 11-year-old from Redwood Shores, CA, is only in sixth grade, but people are already calling her a golf prodigy. She's one of the youngest players to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open and will be playing Pinehurst No. 2 against some of the world's best golf players.
In short: she's pretty awesome.

Two of this week's major onsales include two Disney classics, Aladdin and The Lion King. Both shows have additional onsales in the next week. Tickets for 49 Aladdin shows at New Amsterdam Theatre in New York City are on sale this coming Monday, while tickets for 32 The Lion King shows at Milwaukee Theatre in Milwaukee, WI, are onsale a day earlier on Sunday. There are also a number of additional onsales for ice shows Frozen and Treasure Trove this Friday and Monday.
Meanwhile, in concerts, Cher has 12 shows on sale this Saturday and Monday, while Keyshia Cole has 17 shows onsale this coming Friday. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers also have a couple concerts on sale this Friday.

Yep, it's time! Disney's hit movie is making its way to the ice rink and initial onsales for the show are coming up early next week. Tickets for over 270 shows in 28 cities across the United States will go up for grabs this coming Tuesday. The show's tour begins later this year when it is in Orlando, FL, from September 5 to 7.
The movie on which the ice show is based, itself based on the the 1844 Hans Christian Andersen classic "The Snow Queen," was a smash hit in theaters, taking in over $1 billion at the box office. The franchise's success has continued well outside the theater, with movie song "Let It Go" becoming a hit in its own right. Given the popularity of the movie and the song, I think it's safe to say that the ice show will be just as popular with fans.
Other major onsales this week include Pearl Jam, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, as well as home games for the Carolina Panthers and San Diego Chargers. You can see more highlighted onsales in the table to your right.

Incredible fight can't thank you enough @danawhite @lorenzofertitta and congrats to @TJDillashaw #UFC173 pic.twitter.com/kRKMPq4uji— Johnny Manziel (@JManziel2) May 25, 2014
Incredible fight can't thank you enough @danawhite @lorenzofertitta and congrats to @TJDillashaw #UFC173 pic.twitter.com/kRKMPq4uji
Over the weekend, Johnny Manziel set off a media frenzy when he showed up and partied in Las Vegas, including attending UFC 173 (see above) as well as a pool party with fellow NFL-er Rob Gronkowski. What was everyone so worked up about? Well, it made people start to wonder whether or not Johnny Football had the focus to be a great quarterback in the NFL or whether partying would cause his downfall.
I decided to debate the only person who is able to match wits with me — and that person is me.
Red = Big Deal; Blue = Not a Big Deal
Me: Thanks for taking time to talk about this.
Me: No problem, happy to do it.
Me: Okay, let's get started. Anyone who thinks that this is not a big deal is blind to the past of Johnny Manziel. One of the questions coming into the draft was Manziel's focus and whether or not he was more wrapped-up in his own celebrity persona than actually playing football. This just is another confirmation that he is not going to cha...
Me: Let me stop you right there. After winning the Heisman Trophy following his 2012 season at Texas A&M, the media scrutiny on him grew exponentially. Yes, he partied. Yes, he had fun. Which is not much different than 99% of other college students. If partying was a big deal that would distract Manziel, than you would have guessed that he would have struggled in his following season. But he didn't. In fact, he put up BETTER statistics. Who's to say he can't succeed in the NFL?

They are Bollywood's once popular lovebirds, but Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor neither seemed nervous nor uncomfortable in each other's presence and proximity at an event here Tuesday. In fact, the two ended up doing an impromptu jig!
The actors were here at the NDTV Indian of the Year Awards to collect their respective honours. While Deepika received the entertainer of the year, Ranbir was awarded for being a Bollywood youth icon.
Ranbir was asked to fulfill a popular request -- to dance on one of his numbers impromptu.
Before the request came his way, he was on stage with Aamir Khan, Kangana Ranaut, Soundarya R. Ashwin and Deepika, but as the song played on, Deepika was left alone on stage, while Ranbir vanished only to drag journalist Prannoy Roy. Of course, Roy ran back to take his seat, but Deepika and Ranbir's chemistry worked up to create a picture-perfect moment as they she tried to give him cues of their signature steps.
They smiled, laughed, danced and seemed to have a jolly good time. They even pulled off some signature steps from the chartbuster, and Deepika seemed to know them better than Ranbir.
The duo's off-screen chemistry got a new direction when they played on screen lovers for the first time in "Bachna Ae Haseeno", but eventually the two parted ways after a much-publicised affair.
However, ever since their breakup, they have maintained that they are still good friends. And from what it seemed at the event Tuesday, they mean it.
They last featured on the big screen in "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani", and will soon share the frame in a new project.

Indiana GOP gets leg up in victories
INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana Republicans strengthened their grassroots network leading into key 2012 gubernatorial and legislative campaigns by capturing a majority of Indiana's mayoral races in Tuesday's election.
The wins put the Indiana Republican Party in a better position for fundraising and organizing as they prepare for next year's elections, said Andrew Downs, director of the Mike Downs Center for Politics at Indiana-Purdue, Fort Wayne. That means Democrats will have to work harder to be successful in 2012, he said.
"When Democrats are running for statewide office — for governor or for U.S. Senate — they're not going to have as friendly an environment," Downs said. "They're not going to have as many mayors standing with them. And Republicans can take advantage of having these offices for fundraising."
Republicans picked up the mayors' offices in Evansville, Columbus, Jeffersonville, LaPorte and at least nine other cities with wins that mark a significant shift in control of Indiana's cities.
Going into Tuesday's election, Democrats controlled 68 of the state's mayoral seats, with Republicans holding 48. Independents served as mayors in three of the cities.
Now, voters have given Republicans the mayoral posts in 61 Hoosier cities. Democrats have 54 and independents have two. Results in two races had not been certified Wednesday.
But political observers don't agree on what this week's results mean for 2012. Franklin College political science professor Randy Smith said Hoosiers appeared to be focusing on the economy with their votes.
"People are still sort of reeling from the economy, and small town Indiana is being hit hard," Smith said. "Hoosiers today want something better and different, and they want things to turn around. One way to make things different is to elect someone different."
Hanover political science professor Bill Kubik said he believes Tuesday's votes were a reflection of the reverse coattail effect of President Barack Obama.
"It's a negative message about Obama," Kubik said. "The Republicans in the state, particularly in the local offices, have taken a united message on that."
But former Indiana Democratic Chairman Robin Winston, who now works as a political consultant, said the municipal elections were not nearly as bad for Democrats as some are purporting.
"The fact of the matter is that we won a seat in Muncie, which is a seat we have not held," Winston said. "And we will now control the city council of Indianapolis for the second time in over 40 years. Our party is not under the ropes; it's far from it."
Analyst Ed Feigenbaum, whose INGroup publishes three political newsletters, cautioned against reading too much into Tuesday's results. He said Republican mayoral candidates did not run on a single platform or an overarching theme that might provide a roadmap for GOP campaigns in 2012.
"What I took away from (Tuesday's) election is that voters made changes on the basis of local issues and personalities," Feigenbaum said.
Hoosiers seemed to be largely content with leaders who are maintaining the status quo, he said. "They're looking for competent managers, someone who doesn't upset the apple cart," Feigenbaum said.
That message doesn't necessarily translate well to the 2012 campaigns, where incumbent Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels is not on the ballot. Feigenbaum said it's not clear whether the expected GOP nominee Mike Pence will emerge as a candidate who intends to continue the Daniels' path or if presumed Democrat nominee John Gregg will appear as the less threatening of the candidates.
Still, Indiana Democratic Chairman Dan Parker said Tuesday's results can be instructive in thinking about 2012. And Democrats did not go without some significant victories. They took control of the Indianapolis City-County Council, which is likely to make the next four years more difficult for returning Republican Mayor Greg Ballard.
Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry, a Democrat, narrowly won a second term over Republican Paula Hughes. Dennis Tyler, a Democratic state lawmaker, ousted incumbent Muncie Mayor Sharon McShurley, a Republican.
And in South Bend, Pete Buttigieg — who had failed in a bid last year to be state treasure — defeated Republican Wayne Curry.
Parker said voters this year were looking for the "more likeable" candidates and were willing to toss out GOP incumbents they disliked.
Next year, he said, the most affable candidates will be Gregg and U.S. Rep. Joe Donnelly, who is expected to be the Democrats' nominee in the U.S. Senate race.
"Nobody has more personality and likeability than John Gregg," who is a former speaker of the Indiana House, Parker said. "And Joe Donnelly is the guy everyone wants to have a beer with. That scenario is a good one for us."
Still, Parker acknowledged that Democrats will need to sharpen their campaigns and get their messages out earlier in 2012 to be successful. He said that's what Henry did in Fort Wayne.
"If there's a hidden message coming from all these mayoral races beyond just the likeability factor, it's the importance of getting out early and driving home your message," Parker said.
Indiana Republican Chairman Eric Holcomb, though, said successful campaigns are about "good candidates, good ideas and a good organization and we're not in a good position in all three levels of government going into 2012."
And he said this year's elections were a test of the GOP's get-out-the-vote efforts and help local officials understand what calls they need to make, what doors they need to work on and what data they need to collect.
"Those things are critical when executing a campaign," Holcomb said. And so is having a mayor in a community to advocate for your top candidates.
"Mayors are the best ambassadors for a local community," he said. "They're well known. They've had to govern many times on a bipartisan basis. And they have to get things done, similar to what a governor has to do."

Struggling right-hander Ervin Santana will remain in the rotation for at least one more start, against Tampa Bay on Friday night, but with a limit of 15 outs, said Angels Manager Mike Scioscia. Of course, the way Santana has been pitching -- hes 4-10 with a 6.00 earned-run average and 23 homers given up after he was rocked for six runs and eight hits in 1 23 innings of Saturdays loss to the Rangers -- the Angels would be elated to get 15 outs from him. We want him to concentrate on getting into a flow of the game and going hard and go from there, Scioscia said. A number of guys have responded positively to this over the years. Hopefully, hes not worried about facing a lot of these hitters for the fourth time in a game and can throw more at them early. Scioscia said he has used similar tactics with pitchers such as Scott Kazmir and Aaron Sele, whose Angels careers did not end well. Its a tool to get them to where theyre not saving anything for later in the game, Scioscia said. We...

|This was an amazing site to visit. Personally, I would include it as one of my favorites. The castle ruins themselves are much more extensive than most books give them credit for. There are many stone walls around the base of the mountain and some that go right up to the edge of the ocean. There are remnants of clay walls and the remains from splitting stones for the walls at both the top of the mountain and on the coast. The castle ruins are amazing enough, but the castle town really sets Hagi Castle apart from others. I've never seen another castle town that's so well preserved. There are several original samurai homes, gates, merchants homes, walls, storehouses, and more that make you feel like you've stepped back into the Edo Period. I only spent one day here (4 hrs at the castle ruins, including climbing the mountain) and 3 hours walking around the town, but I could easily spend two full days. I did not even visit the Hagi Museum. I did not have enough time on my first visit so I look forward to another visit in the future. I'm rating this four stars for the combination of the castle and castle town. I think I would recommend you to visit on a weekday if possible. Everywhere was fairly empty despite it being fall colors season but I saw a lot of bus parking and the crowd I saw the following day at Tsuwano on Saturday afternoon would probably pale compared to what Hagi could bring.
After losing to Tokugawa at the Battle of Sekigahara, Mori Terumoto's lands around Hiroshima were confiscated. Tokugawa wanted to lock the Mori into a remote location on the Japan Sea so they commanded him to build his castle at Hagi. If you visit Hagi you'll see how far and difficult a place it is to get to. The Mori family continued to rule over Hagi until the Meiji restoration. In 1863, Mori Takachika moved the major government functions of the domain to Yamaguchi, because Hagi was too vulnerable to bombardment from the sea. From this point Hagi started losing it's importance and many of the castle buildings were dismantled. In the Meiji Restoration the main keep and the remainder of the buildings were destroyed.
The structure of Hagi Castle is actually very interesting and Mori built a brilliantly defensible little castle. Mt Shizuki is a small mountain right on the coast creating a small peninsula of land. The castle sits at the base of the mountain facing the land and occupies all the approachable land to the mountain. Stone walls and defensible positions on the coast prevent attack from the sea. The Honmaru, Ninomaru and Sannomaru baileys extend towards the land protecting the castle from a land invasion. The Sannomaru Bailey encloses much of the castle town which has numerous walled streets, narrow streets, T-junctions and dead ends to confuse and make it difficult for any attacker to reach the castle. A scattering of watchtowers, gates and strategically placed storehouses for weapons would have made any attack on Hagi very difficult indeed. At the top of the mountain is the Tsumenomaru, a fallback position in case of a siege. The Tsumenomaru itself is divided into two baileys ringed with stone walls and had multiple watchtowers. In the latter Edo Period a yagura partway up the mountain and a platform for cannon was also added to help protect it form the sea. Be sure to look at the map to see how things are distributed around the castle and town.

Location is everything , this is one of a few castles I wish were more than walls and moats.

The eternal optimist in me wants to believe that if this drama "Hana Moyu" is a ratings success and it results in more visitors to Hagi over the next few years, than just m-a-y-b-e we might see some long awaited reconstruction work. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Ron, I think you're absolutely right. (If it's done historically correct of course!) Reconstruct the main keep and maybe the Otemon Gate. Also put up better signage and preserve what's there already and you'd have a really great castle museum park. Combined with the fabulous castle town it could be the "most complete" castle there is. The new NHK drama is focusing on the end of the Edo Period and I don't get the feeling the town values the castle ruins as much as the old Edo architecture so it doesn't seem like there will ever be such an interest to do it unfortunately.

I've always felt that Hagi Castle's tenshu was an excellent candidate for reconstruction. It has historical significance and the details of its structure are well documented. Or is the site better left as is? What do you think?

Hagi in the Summer was definitely a good choice; the castle site is surrounded by amazing beaches and the green leaves, blue ocean, and stone walls looked fantastic. Even though I have reputation for being slightly Choshu-girai, I'm not a Mouri fan, and the fact that a black spider bit me on the lip at the tenshukaku ruins, (possibly due to the first two facts), Hagi was completely worth seeing. A friend and I walked from the Hagi Bus centre, (taking a detour to see the statues and houses of hot dead men), through the castle town, to the North Gate. Then from there we walked through the castle town to the beach, and then to the site of the castle ruins. Although they promote bicycle rental, walking was a great idea because there was so much to see, so many old buildings you could enter, and it recreated the feel of a castle town better than many other places I have been to. The beach was what surprised me the most – I have island resort style photos that the Bakufu could use in a Choshu seibatsu summer campaign – well it's not often you get to see turquoise seas and ishigaki together. It was peaceful to wander around and beautiful to see.

If ever any interest in this castle one should read `Tales of Otori` a fantasy novel about a not-quite-Japan but which takes place in Hagi and surrounding area. It`s a beauitful book about feudal Japan culture and the author has drawn a lot from the local history but made it her own. Anyway, inspried and in the area I visited the castle ruin and have to say despite not having a castle tower it is by far the most peaceful frounds I have ever been to. Furthermore, because the west coast of Japan is not as visited as the east, I almost had the whole place to myself! And if in Hagi, you must go a little bit north and visit Matsue Castle which is an original and one of the most atmospheric castles I have ever been to! Overall, a gorgeous area of Japan!

I visited Hagi and it's castle in 2007. Hagi Castle was the demolished shortly after the Meiji restoration and on the site there is actually a black and white photograph of the castle in full glory before deconstruction. The grounds of the castle are quite large and well signposted in English. The old section of town has a river cum moat around it (beyond the moat around the castle) and the entire area seems constructed in such a way that they were ready for invasion (not surprising given the history). The Samurai quarter has well preserved buildings and sits close to the castle. While the ruins of the castle itself are interesting the preserved areas of town also give you a really good idea of what living in a joka-machi might have been like.

I miscarried and am pregnant again. How can I control my worries?
I miscarried my first pregnancy. I'm now 14 weeks into my second pregnancy and I'm still very nervous about something going wrong. This pregnancy is going very well -- but I still have this nagging fear in the back of my mind. What can I do to make myself feel better?

I had a m/c this past November just days after my wedding. I went to the doctors for that special ultra sound to make sure eveything is developing alright & they couldn't find a heart beat. I was sapposed to be at 12 weeks, but the baby died at 9. Now it's May & I'm about 7-8 weeks pregnant. The odd thing is I don't feel at all excited about this baby. I'm almost mad about it. I think I'm just not allowing myself to feel any joy for fear of being let down again. I feel so depressed & angry. Loosing your baby is the hardest thing I think any women could go through. No one understands unless they themselves experience it. You just have to put all your anger & sadness away, hopefully never to be brought up again.posted 05/14/2007 by Lizzy21xo
I feel your pain. I miscarried in Sept of last year and got preggers again in Dec. I am now 23 weeks and even though I have had 2 normal ultrasounds and everything is going well I still am scared. I was very cautious in the 1st trimester but once you are in your 2nd your chances of miscarriage go down a heck of a lot. Try and relax and enjoy your pregnancy. It's hard but I hate that I am so worried about losing this one that I am having a hard time enjoying being pregnant.posted 05/14/2007 by TattoodMama
I had a miscarriage in Dec. and now I just found out I'm 4 wks. pregnant. I'm excited but yet also scared that I'm going to have another m/c. My fiance says he thinks this will be the one but I just don't have the same optimism that he does. So I have my fingers crossed and and hoping and praying that this little bean sticks!posted 05/14/2007 by tyjesb12
To 05/08/2007 Anonymous re: no morning sickness ~ I have been pg 4 times and never been sick. I miscarried the 3rd one @ 13 wks ;-( but the 1st 2 resulted in healthy boys and this 4th one is going well so far (10 weeks and counting). Everyone is different and hopefully you are just one of the lucky ones like me that never has morning sickness! (I think we comprise about 10-30% of pregnant moms, not sure about the stats but it's a lucky few). Best of luck to you (and everyone else on this board), it's so hard to wait week after week when you've suffered a loss in the past.posted 05/14/2007 by 32165sdffs
hello...i to had a miscarrige about almost 2 yrs ago. I am now 4 1/2 months preg. I have been soooo nervous. I had a lot of brown spotting and also a few times some bright red bleeding which I thought...forsure was going to end up in a miscarrige..but didn't. thank god!!i go to the dr.s often to hear the babys heartbeat to reassure myself. so far so good. I just keep praying...and also for u. good luckposted 05/14/2007 by stacistrazz
I had a miscarriage on Nov.28th and got pregnant again in early Dec. but now I am 23 weeks along with a very healthy baby..finally getting my girl, so there are happy endings, I had a rough time to and couldn't handle the loss but just so you know there can be happy endings:)posted 05/14/2007 by palowlander
I had 2 consecutive miscarriages 2 years ago one requiring a d&c. I never thought that I would be able to successfully carry a baby, but I am now 35 weeks pregnant. There is hope! I still worry, but the fear is less. I also joined a support group called SHARE it's on the web, look for a branch in your area. It was very helpful.posted 05/14/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks and the doctore told me to wait at least 3 months before trying again. This was to give the body time to heal. My 2nd pregnancy went fine and I am on my third now. I am 18 weeks and all is fine so far but you still worry about miscarrying especially if you have had one before.posted 05/14/2007 by keybo64w
I was told I couldn't have children due to a surgery when I was 5. I got pregnant with twins at and miscarried one of the two. I then had 4 miscarriages over 4 years before having my second daughter. Now 2 years later, I'm pregnant with twins (29 weeks). One miscarriage or 5 doesn't stop God's plan for you...even if 4 kids wasn't your plan :)posted 05/13/2007 by Robin1980
I've has 3 miscarriages and my daugther was 27 wks premature. All my pregnancy were 2 yrs apart and I still misscarried with the exception of my daughter. For this pregnancy I had to get a cercolage because my cervix was opening again. Sometimes its your body that just doesn't respond to the extra weight or trauma of pregnancy. But don't give up and consult a specialist. Don't let your doctor tell you theres nothing he can do, my doctor told me since my miscarriages weren't 27 weeks over I wasn't a canidate for a cercolage, so I changed doctors and now I'm 35 weeks. Good Luck to everyoneposted 05/13/2007 by califaery

But no hard feelings and I very much agree with your sentiment. People are saying things about the new bike and doubting its abilities on the dirt etc all just based on a few pics and stats
I suggest we all just take a deep breath and relax. Dirt bikes are in KTMs DNA, that's why I love my 990 and I trust that the 1190R will be just fine - so much so I have ordered mine.
Soon enough there will be lots of ride reports and bike magazine comparison tests and you can trust the KTM will be the benchmark when it comes to any off-road test.
And for all are US cousins across the pond, console yourselves that we will iron all the bugs out in the first year and you get the benefit of the second build run whenever KTM turns on that part of production again.
Keep the faith, change is good..................

Haley Lorenzen, Iowa City High | Iowa Girls High School Basketball
posted on March 20, 2014
Growing up in Iowa City with the last name Lorenzen isn't exactly a way of "flying under the radar" when it comes to athletic competition. But that family name and a common bond of basketball was the foundation for Haley Lorenzen. Years ago, when it seemed like basketball stardom may not be in the cards for Haley, hard work and sound advice brought her to the doorstep of a very special senior season. And, as Haley discovered, it's all in the family.

Celebrating Today's Youth
August 12, 2013
On International Youth Day, we reflect on the challenges and opportunities facing youth in the developing world as they strive to create a more prosperous future.
Young people under the age of 30 constitute more than half of the world's population, with the vast majority living in the developing world. In Africa, where the current median age is 18, the number of youth ages 15 to 24 is expected to rise from 172 million to 246 million by 2020. While this profound demographic shift poses challenges, it also presents unprecedented opportunities for youth to revitalize the agricultural sector, create innovative enterprises and lead a wave of economic growth.
TechnoServe understands the urgency of engaging youth to become agents of change in their communities. Today, on International Youth Day, we celebrate the potential and achievements of young men and women around the world, including those engaged in TechnoServe's youth-oriented initiatives:
- In Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda, TechnoServe is helping 15,000 rural young women and men transition to economic independence. The Strengthening Rural Youth Development Through Enterprise (STRYDE) program is an $11.5 million, four-year partnership with The MasterCard Foundation that delivers a comprehensive package of services including skills training, business development and mentoring to young people ages 18 to 30.
- The Young Women in Enterprise (YWE) program seeks to empower economically disadvantaged adolescent girls and young women in urban slums in Kenya by helping them capitalize on safe and productive economic opportunities. The program introduces girls ages 14 to 24 to entrepreneurship concepts, financial literacy, life skills and employability. In partnership with the Nike Foundation, TechnoServe has reached more than 4,000 girls through YWE since 2006, 35 percent of whom have started small businesses and 25 percent of whom have been linked to wage-paying jobs.
- The Economic Development of Tibetan Settlements (EDOTS) program is creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for Tibetans in exile in India and Nepal, with a dual focus on farmers and young people. Supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development, the program aims to reduce out-migration from Tibetan settlements and preserve Tibetan culture. In settlements across India, TechnoServe has targeted youth workforce development, which includes employability and skills training, business plan competitions and business accelerator support.

A Power Struggle in Iran
3:20 PM, Mar 9, 2012 • By EMANUELE OTTOLENGHI
But even when all the chips are down – Rafsanjani's son Mehdi is a fugitive from corruption charges and his daughter Faezeh, a former MP, was convicted of incitement against the Islamic Republic and barred from all political activity for five years – it is not at all clear that Rafsanjani will be the loser or Ahmadinejad the winner.
Ultimately, they all lose. Their futile struggles for dominance, and the ferocity with which they eliminate one another, mean nothing to the outward orientation of Iran's foreign policy. That is a constant: A paranoid fear of Western influence, a sense of historical righteousness coupled with religious destiny, and a disposition to throw once loyal followers in the dust so that the show can go on.
Emanuele Ottolenghi is a Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and the author of The Pasdaran: Inside Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards' Corps (FDD Press, September 2011).

history and culture getting there
Anguilla encompasses arguably the best beaches generally in the Caribbean, with over 30 strands of dream sands to cater to not many sun-seekers, a very laid-back charm and a growing fine restaurant scene to cater to after-sun diners.
Little Bay is a tiny half moon shaped bay with powder
sand beach and clear water is protected by high cliffs so the ambience
is tranquil and excellent for sunbathing and snorkelling. Access
is by boat only from Crocus Bay.
Nearby the two mile stretch of Shoal
Bay - which some consider to be Anguilla's
best beach, Rendezvous
Bay, or Road
Bay offer a few more
facilities and action.
Antigua's chain of secluded coves with white soft-sand
beaches (especially in the south-west) and sensational views also offers low-stress flights from the UK, easy transfers, a good choice of hotels and masses of family-friendly activities for toddlers to teenagers. Some options include Wadadli Animal Park, a pirate experience (Black Swan), kayaking, zip-wires and plenty more.
If snorkeling is your aim, then head for Pigeon Point near Falmouth
Harbour. Topless or naked bathing are both strictly forbidden on this island. See Crime.
This famous pink sand beach on a islet of Eleuthera Island, is one of the world's most photographed beaches
and often voted as the world's best beach by various travel
a three mile stretch of powder sand named for its salmon colour
due to flecks of red plankton mixed with fine, sugar-white coral sand.
Most of the accommodation is located on the cliff behind the beach
and reached by 'Bahamas Fast Ferries' from Eleuthera.
More Bahamas information and photos
Barbados seems to be moving intelligently and inexorably away from exclusive luxury holidays to all budget vacations, with plenty of family-friendly resorts offering shallow pools, kid's clubs, flying foxes, jungle camps, pirate ships and endless water-based activities.
The island is lined with soft white sand beaches and azure seas, though calm or rough depends on their location. Barbados food is varied and delicious, the people are charming and speak English. Barbados is easily accessed by direct flights from the USA, Canada and UK.
Crane Beach (photo) is said to be
one of Barbados' - if not the Caribbean's - most beautiful beaches.
The soft white sands and bumpy azure waves are embraced by imposing cliffs but swimmers need to be ready for a bit of a battle as here the waters mix Caribbean benevolence with Atlantic fury.
More Barbados information and photos
This is a totally
laid-back seaside town with a 16 miles of pristine sandy beach on
a long, narrow peninsula in SE Belize.
It is is well worth the trip to get there (4-5 hours from Belize
City, but now daily domestic flights are available).
Facilities are simple but comfortable, with friendly locals and
fantastic seafood. Apart from just lying on the sand, you can participate
in various water sports, fishing, bird watching, manatee watching
(!) and jungle excursions in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary.
If you want more action (especially scuba diving), try the Cayes: resort-oriented
Ambergris Caye, or relatively low-key Caye
Both are good bases for world-class diving and snorkelling off the
world's second greatest barrier reef.
British Virgin Islands, BVI.
Palm-lined silky beaches with deep pinky-gray
sands and peppermint green water (what about the purple prose?).
Although Virgin Gorda has no shortage of lovely beaches such as
Devil's Bay, Mahoe Bay, Pond
Bay, Savannah Bay, and Spring Bay, the Baths gets the top spot in
BVI, so it can get crowded. It's good for year-round swimming and
snorkelling, especially going left from the beach but a bit pricey.
Virgin Gorda is one of the friendliest islands in the Caribbean.
More BVI information and photos
Photogenic, unspoilt and white-on-white,
the beach on tiny Jost Van Dykes island
5 miles west of Tortola, was a secret until recently but now some
major publications are raving about it, and it has been selected
as one of world's top ten best beaches.
There is also fabulous snorkelling from the islet off the southeast
of Jost Van Dykes
Sandy Cay and the more remote Sandy
Spit Beach as well.
Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Seven Mile Beach (well, to be honest, it's actually 5.5 miles long and also known as West Bay Beach) is the big one that everyone wants to shuffle their toes in en route to the clear, tranquil water above the gently shelving sandy bottom. It's a magnificent stretch of groomed, powder white sand that, if you can afford it, you should hug close and never let go. Oh, that's too bad, can't stay for ever? Never mind. Back to work after a quick snorkel.
More Grand Cayman information and photos
Varadero is not technically the Caribbean, actually the Straits of Florida, but but it's near enough. 20km of clean, creamy, uncrowded
sand adjacent to clean, warm
water runs alongside a string of relatively cheap all-inclusive hotels and a
few local facilities. There is no coral in the immediate vicinity
so forget snorkelling but other marine activities are plentiful.
Varadero town is
not especially interesting but a rental car or bus will get you
too Havana in a couple of hours. Havana is very lively and fascinating in a crumbly pre-60's
way and definitely the best exotic culture in the Caribbean. Four days in Varadero and three days in Havana would be an
excellent week's holiday.
More Cuba information and photos
Not to be confused with much bigger Dominican Republic (it's near Guadeloupe and Martinique in the east, whereas DR is a package destination in the central Caribbean near Cuba), Dominica specialises in activities and not just kid's stuff. Possibilities range from whale-watching, kayaking and scuba to mountain-biking trails, jungle rainforest canopy tours and superb hiking routes that supply delightful rest-stops en route, such as spas, mud-baths and cave swimming.
The most extreme trekking on offer is the 115 mile (184 kms) Waitukubuli National Trail.
Punta Cana beach, Dominican Republic
DR is the best budget Caribbean island, with Jamaica cool running up. Dom Rep is low cost due to many all-inclusive resorts catering mainly to families, low labour costs and plenty of fertile land to grow produce, rather than import just about everything like most Caribbean islands.
Apart from its excellent beaches, massive size and cheap prices, the Dominican Republic also hosts an unequalled variety of things to do inland when the sun and sand gets just too much.
More Dominican Republic information, map and photos
Grenada not only hosts spectacular powder-sand beaches serviced by friendly little restaurant/cafés but is also fond of activities so perfect for those make-work holiday folk who can't just lounge on the sand or flop in the water for a week.
Anse la Roche is a must-see beach, the classic image of fantasy sand with a great view of Union Island across the water. It's a 45 minute walk from
Bogles village but it's quite easy to get lost and it might be better
to take a water taxi. There are no facilities and very few people,
so take food and drink.
Grand Anse is the place for action, Magazine Beach is the one for boulder-scattered classic Caribbean style and La Sagesse for Caribe au naturel.
Guadeloupe is an up and coming destinations
for Europeans. It's still only moderately touristy and has very
good reputation for spicy French-Creole cuisine. The coastline
is rugged and the fine sandy beaches are relatively quiet.
Anne town is the prettiest village in Guadeloupe and the beach
is the finest while Plage de la Caravelle is also excellent
but access is only through Club Med.
7 mile beach in Negril, Jamaica
Jamaica has a name for three things, partying, nude sunbathing and crime. Locals love to dance, the music is irresistible (well, unless you dislike Reggae or Ska) and beach parties happen in brilliant locations all over the island, as well as more formal world music festivals such as Reggae Sumfest in Montego bay. There's nothing quite like a few rum 'n' cokes or Red Stripes on a perfect beach at sunset, shack-fried fish and a wobbly shuffle on powder sand to live Ska.
Looking for a nudist paradise? Negril
Beach is the one for you if you can cope with the crowds and some
local harassment. Otherwise the beach is Jamaica's prettiest with
a laid-back atmosphere. It's much less busy than the famous Seven
Mile Beach.
Long Bay Beach Park at northern end
of Negril Beach is a bit more tranquil as is Bloody
Bay Beach further along. There are reports of occasional
thefts and mugging.
As for crime, it's easy enough to avoid if you take local advice (i.e. from hotel staff), leave valuables in your safe and stay away from shanty towns. See Crime.

December to May are usually the
best months in the Caribbean while May is the favourite low-cost
month as accommodation charges multiply mid-December to
April but the weather remains fine through May - hopefully.
The hurricane season runs from August
thru October but the rainy period lasts May to December, except for the Dutch ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao) which are below the hurricane belt and consequently have better summertime/autumn weather conditions and practically 12 months availability (though November-January can be a little cloudy and damp). Tobago's season is a little different too, with best months being January to June.
Around Christmas/New Year (last 2 weeks of December
and first 10 days of January), a week either side of Easter
and during North American College breaks is the very busiest and most costly time to travel to and stay in the Caribbean.
Stormy weather: August to early October is the normal peak hurricane season (78% of tropical storms; 87% of the "minor" hurricanes; 96% of the "major" hurricanes) but though hurricanes are rare, rain is not, the humidity can be oppressive and stormy,
water may be rough and unclear for scuba or snorkelling and beaches garbed in seaweed.
However, you could also consider the southern sector of the Caribbean which is effectively below the hurricane belt. e.g. Trinidad & Tobago, and the three Dutch islands off the north coast of South America.
Many Caribbean resorts, restaurants and other services are limited
or shut down completely from September to end of November.
(!) Sand drifting across from Africa can create hazy conditions
mid-May to mid-June.
Bermuda's not in the Caribbean, but the best time to visit the island - about 1,000 miles off the Florida coast in the Atlantic - is in the summertime. From June to October, the pink-sand beaches sprawl in temperatures of around 30C, with long daylight hours, low rainfall and warm seas around 25C.
Strictly speaking the Bahamas are also not in the Caribbean, though they're close, with the nearest island - Bimini - just 53 miles (81 kms) away from Miami, though the main island is around 190 miles away.
English Harbour, Antigua
There's plenty of availability of all sizes of sailing or motor yacht rentals in the area, as weather conditions are superb outside the hurricane season and the variety of attractive islands and dazzling, easy-anchor bays is staggering.
One popular and relaxing option is to join a charter group of small yachts with a professional captain and fixer who then leads the flotilla on island-to-island jaunts, finds the best mooring spots, advises on best sailing techniques, rigging, snorkelling, beach activities and best places to eat and drink onshore if required.
Although flights to the Caribbean are not cheap from Europe and boat rentals hardly cheap, the savings on accommodation and eating out are enormous and the island-hopping fun and fascinating.

Scarce 1858 Indian Cent Pattern, Judd-208, Pollock-2531858 P1C Indian Cent, Judd-208, Pollock-253, R.7, MS63 PCGS. An Indian Cent pattern with the adopted design of 1859, but dated a year earlier. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. Judd-208 is broken into three Pollock patterns, based upon whether the date is low or centered, and whether the wreath has six or five leaves within each cluster. This variant (Pollock-253) has a low date and five leaf clusters. The surfaces on this piece are bright and very light in color with an occasional fleck of golden-rose on each side. (PCGS# 11884)
