The 33-Year-Old Rookie: How I Finally Made It to the Big Leagues After Eleven Years in the Minorsby Chris Coste
Staff Pick
In a time of quick fixes and instant gratification, tales of perseverance and triumph are easily overlooked, but this story exemplifies tenacity at its finest. Chris Coste knows well the dividends paid by resolve and determination, and his autobiography is a testament to the benevolent power of will and self-confidence.
An All-American in college, Coste spent 11 years in the minor leagues (including seasons in the International and Mexican Pacific leagues), before his debut in a Philadelphia Phillies uniform at the age of 33, in 2006. Despite many setbacks and the normally short shelf life of most professional athletes, Coste fervently believed his talent was evident enough that he'd eventually earn the chance to play major league baseball. Buoyed by an inconceivably supportive wife, Coste strived continually to achieve his dream, surprising many, but never himself.
Coste writes engagingly well, with abundant humor and obvious humility. Entering the 2008 season, Coste remains on the Phillies active roster, sporting a modest .309 lifetime batting average. John Kruk says it best in his foreword, "Chris Coste's story inspires everyone, because in an era of spoiled, overcoached athletes, he's a throwback." Indeed.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Chris Coste dreamed of playing major-league baseball from the age of seven. But after 11 grueling years in the minors, a spot on a major-league roster still seemed just out of his reach — until that fateful call came from the Philadelphia Phillies in May 2006. At age 33 ("going on 80"), Coste was finally heading to the big time.
The 33-Year-Old Rookie is like a real-life Rocky, an unforgettable and inspirational story of one man's unwavering pursuit of a lifelong goal. Beginning in a single-parent home in Fargo, North Dakota, and ending behind home plate on the flawless diamond of the Phillies' Citizens Bank Park — where fans and teammates call him "Chris Clutch" because of his knack for getting timely hits — this intimate account of Coste's baseball odyssey is a powerful story of determination, perseverance, and passion.
For 11 seasons, Coste hustled, fought, and gritted his way to his breakthrough — and never lost faith in his abilities. Along the way, he gained the affection and admiration of baseball fans from Ottawa and Scranton to various Mexican and Venezuelan cities. Battered by years spent behind a catcher's mask, and faced with bracing realities — there were bills to pay, and his young daughter was entering first grade — Coste decided to give it one last shot in 2006. But that year, during the Phillies' major-league spring training, Coste was demoted to the minors at the last minute to make room for a utility outfielder, despite having hit a blistering .463 and earning the trust of the team's pitchers. Later that season, though, Coste finally got the call-up, and he hit .364 during the Phillies' furious battle to nail down the final postseason berth.
Coste takes us through the 2006 spring training season — with its pulse-quickening moments and close calls — and into his first season as a major-league catcher with the Phillies. From tense stretch-run games that kept Phillies' fans on the edge of their seats to moments of intimate personal reflection, Coste's saga offers baseball aficionados an inside look at a remarkable life and career. In this stirring, wry, and candid look at the life of a professional baseball nomad who never surrendered his dream, we savor the sometimes bittersweet fruits of victory against seemingly insurmountable odds.
"Chris Coste's story inspires us because he is a man driven not only by his loyalty to team over self, but also by his love for his family, strong morals, and passion for the great game of baseball. The 33-Year-Old Rookie will remind everyone who's ever had a dream to keep fighting for it." Mike Schmidt, Hall of Fame third baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies
"Anyone who has played in the minors can respect what Chris went through to reach his goal. He endured 11 minor league seasons and should be applauded for never giving up. We have all fought through difficulties to achieve our dreams and Chris's story speaks volumes about determination, drive, and perseverance." Cal Ripken, Jr., baseball's all-time "Iron Man"
"What amazes me most about Chris Coste's unlikely career is that he did it playing the hardest position on the field, enduring the daily barrage of nicks, bruises, and head-on collisions that are the life of a catcher. The 33-Year-Old Rookie is a great story of a man's triumph over adversity, but it's also a fascinating account of the view from behind home plate." Tim McCarver, broadcaster, Fox Sports
"The 33-Year-Old Rookie is the best of Rocky, Rudy, and The Rookie — it brought out all the emotions... especially when Chris made the team, and the tears started flowing. If you have an impossible dream, and want to see a man and family who paid the price to make theirs come true, you have to read this book." Vince Papale, subject of the Disney movie Invincible
"Chris Coste is the epitome of the phrase "never give up hope." His dream was to be a major-league baseball player, and at the age of 33, Chris not only reached the majors but showed that he belonged."Harry Kalas, Hall of Fame broadcaster for the Philadelphia Phillies

SDG&E unveils fire weather website
But people concerned about shutoffs say it's unclear that the wind speeds that SDG&E plan to use actually make its system dangerous to use, which is the justification the company is using for cutting power.
Critics of the shutoffs say they can cause more harm than good. Children would be stranded in schools, they say. Phones, cable and Internet connections would fail. Water pumps would lose power. And people with medical conditions and disabilities would be left with nowhere to be.
SDG&E says it is working to address those concerns.
But it insists it must operate its system safely, and sometimes that means pulling the plug.
The company also touts other steps it's taking to prevent big fires, including:
- Additional tree-trimming.
- Increased inspections of overhead power lines to exceed state requirements.
- A new helicopter which can dump 2,500 gallons of retardant on a fire. SDG&E bought the chopper to build the Sunrise Powerlink, which critics call a fire threat.
- Plans to replace up to 1,000 wood poles with steel poles this year and next. The steel poles not only don't burn, but the way that wires are strung on them can prevent short-circuits. SDG&E has more nearly 84,000 poles, and has replaced 900 so far.
- Plans to bury power lines in dangerous areas. SDG&E has more of its system underground that most other utilities, but most of that is in urban and suburban settings. Burying lines in rural areas where they pose fire risks, is very expensive, so the company is looking for places where it makes the most sense.

With the finalisation of easyJet's fleet plan through until 2012, it appears that board relations are now returning to normal in the wake of the well-publicised spat between founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou and his fellow board members.
Last November easyJet admitted that a "far-reaching debate" had broken out over its strategy. Stelios urged the board to rein in its expansion plans, refused to approve the airline's accounts and called for a reversal its non-dividend policy by 2011. At the same time he stepped up his shareholding and threatened to appoint himself as chairman.
EasyJet chairman Sir Colin Chandler promptly rebuffed the claims, saying the board had adopted a cautious fleet strategy and taken steps to conserve cash, reduce its growth plans and dispose of surplus aircraft.
But with the release of easyJet's third quarter interim management statement this week, it appears that all is well again in the easyJet camp. The board says it has agreed a fleet plan which will deliver 7.5% average annual growth in seats flown over the medium term. It adds that this "prudent growth" will enable the airline to take advantage "substantial opportunities" in the short-haul market, while at the same time maximising margins.
"One of easyJet's strengths is the flexibility of its fleet planning arrangements and the board will continue to regularly review fleet planning decisions in the light of economic conditions, the market opportunities available and the financial strength of the business," notes the board.
An easyJet spokeswoman declines to comment on the dispute between Stelios and the board, simply saying "it's all sorted now".
Stelios' spokesman says the easyJet founder is "comfortable with the current growth strategy and fleet plan", but he stresses that the plan remains "fluid", depending on the macro environment.
He adds: "The recession hasn't affected passenger demand as much as Stelios and some other commentators had feared after the collapse of Lehmans last autumn, but consumer confidence is a fragile thing at the best of times."
The spokesman goes on to say that EasyJet's organisational revamp (with the appointment of Bob Rothenberg and Keith Hamill as a non-executive directors, Sir Mike Rake as deputy chairman and Sir David Michels as chairman) has "strengthened the board considerably over the past six months, so Stelios is now more relaxed generally about the company's strategy and its risk-reward equation".
It seems that analysts tracking easyJet's progress are pretty comfortable with the feud resolution. NCB Stockbrokers equity analyst Neil Glynn says: "The issue looks to have been resolved for now. However the dividend question may recur in less challenging times."
Glynn believes easyJet has no plans to issue a dividend, given current demand pressures, but he adds: "In the medium term, when easyJet's bottom line and balance sheet look healthier, it (or a share buy-back) will likely come back to the table."
Andrew Fitchie from Collins Stewart says: "My understanding is the new chairman-elect has worked closely with Stelios. Management has toned down medium-term growth plans, which could accommodate some form of capital return post 2011. That de-risks the business and aligns everyone's interests. Job done!"
Fitchie also hints that the recruitment process for easyJet's new commercial and finance directors are "well advanced".
Regarding the dividend issue, he says this may come back on the table from 2011 onward: "They've said they'll be cash positive post 2011. Which means they either (a.) pay down debt, or (b.) pay a dividend and pay down debt. I'll bet they do (b.)."

Qi'a™ Superfood - Chia, Buckwheat & Hemp Cereal Original Flavour
Chia seeds*, buckwheat groats*, hemp seeds*. *Organic. May contain soy, peanuts or dairy or tree nuts.
Customer Reviews
This is the most delicious cereal I have ever had. I usually eat handfuls of dry hemp, chia, and buckwheat. This is much better. I enjoy it with delicious quinoa milk and some acai berries. I recommend it for people who have trouble with their bowel movements. I usually eat 8-10 bowls per day. Best cereal ever!
I stumbled across this product because I was looking for chia seeds because I had been reading up on their scientific effect of keeping you full. So when I found this product and the chia seed are accompanied by two other awesome super foods, I had to try it. I got the original flavor and I've been using it instead of granola in my greek yogurt for breakfast. I like a good crunch in my yogurt and this is far more nutritional than some granola off the shelf. Plus, the subtle flavor of the Q'ia doesn't compete with whatever flavor yogurt I'm eating. I highly recommend this product to anyone!!
goodbye & good riddance to ice cream, just 1/2 c plain yoghurt, 1/3 c this fantastic mix, and a peach, strawberries, etc. is way better tasting I'm so glad I, quite by accident, discovered it - thank you

This coin purse looks similar to a "Tam O' Shanter" only smaller, this type of coin purse would be the precursor to the "Tam O' Shanter". This Sovereign purse only holds a few coins and the beads are sewn around the outside of the fabric or it may possibly be an animal hide. The catch to open and close the purse is in good working order. The inside cover is shiny perhaps used as a mirror, but would only reflect an obscure image. The outside cover has a design of old silver tone coins. The date is stamped on the inside near the catch and is dated Mar. 25, 90. The inside opening is 2" in diameter. The back side is about 2 1/2" in diameter.
The coin purse has some bead loss on the outside fold areas. For its age it is in pretty good shape, but not showroom new looking. It is a great collector's Piece.

It was fine for being a short stay. Got in early evening and had an early start home the next day. It was good to have a nice selection of places to eat within close proximity of the hotel. Though we didn't take advantage, plenty of stores to choose from for shopping as well. Only sad that we didn't have the time to check out the pool.

Known as the "Scan Eagle," the unmanned aircraft was launched in May and June of 2009 from the NOAA vessel McArthur II over the Bering Sea west of Alaska. The drone has a 10-foot wingspan and is owned and operated by the University of Alaska.
The image recognition software was developed by Boulder Labs Inc. in Boulder, Colo., and used to automate the identification of seals in 27,000 images that were collected during the flights. "The results show that the seals have distinct preferences for specific types of ice, demonstrating that ice extent is not the only factor affecting seal populations," said Weatherhead.
The Scan Eagle flights lasted from two to eight hours and flew at altitudes ranging from 300 to 1,000 feet. While the amount of ocean and ice scanned by the unmanned aircraft was small -- it flew 3- to 5-mile-long transects over the Bering Sea -- the researchers were eager to see whether the image recognition system would work for characterizing both the ice and the seals. "The answer was a resounding yes," Weatherhead said.
The analysis of sea ice by the team included edge-to-area calculations of ice floes as well as ice floe size and distribution. "There is an incredible variety of ice and we are trying to come up with mathematical ways to describe it," she said. "One thing that really interests us is how broken up the ice is in particular areas."
According to CU-Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center, the total loss of Arctic sea ice extent from 1979 to 2009 was an area larger than the state of Alaska. Scientists there believe the Arctic may become ice-free during the summers within the next several decades.
In December 2010, NOAA's Fisheries Service proposed to list the Arctic ringed seal as threatened under the Endangered Species Act because of diminishing sea ice and snow cover. Arctic ringed seals do not com

Since I'm not Carlos Beltran, I can't tell you what he was thinking when he swung at this pitch from Jordan Walden last night. But, seeing as how Beltran is a Major League Baseball All-Star who has been known to hit the ball quite well from time to time, I'm sure he wasn't thinking it would land a solid two and a half feet in front of home plate. But that's exactly what it did, and now we can all laugh at this GIF while Beltran goes and gets his eyes checked. [@CJZero] Article found on: Next Impulse Sports

Homosexuals get a bad rap
While Mister Cee is one of the most influential DJs in the hip-hop industry, he feared how he'd be accepted if it was ever discovered that he has sex with other men. Now he knows.
Cee, who spent 20 years as a DJ with Hot 97 in New York, knew that the hip-hop industry is hypocritical on its views of homosexuality. Amid lingering rumors and after being outed by a cross-dresser a few weeks ago, Cee was forced out of the closet. A female artist who is bisexual or gay will generally be accepted, but such an admission from a male artist could doom his career. »Read Full Article(14)

visaya - I'm loosing a lot of space because of all of my sculpts now.
Although the anatomy sculpt is only about 1 1/2 feet tall. So it doesn't take up too much space.
uno - I'm just putting on all of the muscles and that's all. No skin. Maybe fat.
I hope that answers your question...

Nha Trang
From wiki.travel.com
Nha Trang is Vietnam's most famous seaside resort-town. It's more lively and urban in character than other beach destinations like Mui Ne and Phu Quoc. It's also the scuba diving center of Vietnam.
Traces of human settlement in Nha Trang date back to the Cham Empire, though in times of Vietnamese rule, there wasn't much more than small fishing villages. The French recognized that this beautiful bay, with its islands and white sand beaches, made for a perfect bathing spot, and began the transformation into a resort town. American soldiers agreed, and Nha Trang became a favorite vacation stop during the war.
The monsoon season is from October to mid December. Sea winds can be heavy, and sometimes the weather can get pretty chilly. Summer, naturally, brings many vacation goers into town and hotel rooms get somewhat more difficult to find.
Get in
By plane
Cam Ranh Airport (CXR), built on the grounds of an old American airbase in 2004, is located 30km from the city and serves only domestic destinations. Taxi fare from the airport to downtown locations is a fixed rate of 260,000 VND (with Nha Trang Taxi Company - maroon color taxi) though many hotels have their own buses. Do not offer to go by the meter here as it is about 100,000 VND more expensive than the fixed rate. A cheaper option is to take the airport bus at 40,000 VND to the old Nha Trang Airport.
By train
Nha Trang is a stop on the main railway-line connecting Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC or Saigon). The railway station is close to the cathedral in the northern part of town. If you want a soft-sleeper (the highest class available on Vietnamese trains), book your train ticket directly at the train station as far in advance as you are able. Having a private travel agent book this ticket will quite often result in you paying the agent for a soft-sleeper — the agent will book a hard-sleeper and you will not know until you board the train and it is too late to make changes. This is one of the most common scams in Vietnam!
The journey to Nha Trang only takes between 6-7 hours so a sleeper is not really necessary, a cushioned seat in the AC car costs 190,000 VND.
A new sleeper train is available from HCMC to NhaTrang and on to Hanoi. For 535,000 VND (HCMC to Nha Trang Jan. 2009) book a soft sleeper on the Blue Train - much nicer and cleaner.
By bus
Most open tour buses arrive from Ho Chi Minh City in the south (10-12 hours) and Hoi An to the north (10 hours). They drop their passengers in the main tourist area around Bien Thu, while the public bus station is at 58, 23 Thang 10, about a 10 minute walk west of the center.
By car
Private car rental with a driver are usually modern air-con cars and can be rented for ~1,000,000 VND per day.
Car rental prices (as mostly anything in Vietnam) usually increase during holiday seasons especially around Tet (Vietnamese's New Year). Make sure to avoid high prices by booking it beforehand with the car rental services.
Get around
Today, most of the tourist infrastructure is in the southern part of town around Biet Thu, whereas most of the locals live around the Cho Dam in the northern quarters. Cho Dam Market is a popular destination for visitors as well, though.
Tran Phu is the backbone of the city, accompanied by a pleasant waterfront promenade, palm trees and the nearly 6km of beach.
Nha Trang has a reliable and easy to navigate public bus system, where the ticket fare does not exceed 3000 dong for a ride on a modern, air-conditioned bus with Vietnamese music. You will find buses nr. 3 and 2 the most useful, since they pass through the southern quarters. Alternatively, you'll find the usual selection of taxis, cyclos and motorbikes.
There is no destination in Downtown Nha Trang that justifies a fare higher than 20,000 dong/person. Taxis are a good option, but be sure they turn on the meter to get the cheapest price.
A wonderful option for seeing the sites is to hire a cyclo-driver for the day. I agreed upon a price for the entire day (Jan. 2009-USD$10 + tip) and my driver took me to all the in-town highlights, the post office, and my choice of restaurants from 8AM-7PM. While English skills were basic, we were able to communicate. He also kept many of the touts away--a real bonus!
The beach is the main draw here. While not up to the standard of Thailand's white-sand finest, it's certainly pleasant. You will likely see many women vendors walking along the beach selling fruit and hot, steamed seafood.
Make sure that you visit in the right season, though. The beach can be disappointing when the weather is grey and the waves choppy. The experience is then one of murky sandy waters, a strip of standard brown sand with a multitude of empty beach chairs and no one to be seen.
The sites below can be toured in one day.
- National Oceanographic Museum of Vietnam, 01 Cau Da (on the left of the commercial port entrance), 058-590-037, [1]. Admission VND15,000. Open 7AM-4PM. This is like an aquarium with popular and rare species of the sea. A perfect place to bring kids as they will get to see sharks, turtles, coral reefs, lionfish, sea horses, and many other creatures.
- NhaTranglive, Thong Nhat Street & 2 thang 4 Street. (near Cho Dam Market), 090-714-3404, [2]. Free maps of city, drinks and tour travel guide book. Free use of wireless and computers. Largest collection of local painting by artists that lives in the area.
- Alexandre Yersin Museum, 10 Tran Phu St., 058-822-355. Admission US$2. Mon-Sat 8-11AM and 2-4:30PM. This is a scientific museum of a Swiss-born, Dr. Alexandre Yersin (1863-1943), who arrived in Vietnam in 1891 to study infected animals. He then later on produced a serum from horses and buffaloes. In this museum, you will be able to view all of his work as well as his equipment. Yersin never went back to Switzerland as he spent the rest of his life in Nha Trang. Don't try to take pictures. Do respect the rules since they're quite serious here.
- Long Son Pagoda, Thai Nguyen St. Free admission. Open 8AM-5PM. At this pagoda, you will see a 79 ft. tall white Buddha. The pagoda was established in 1963 to honour the monks and nuns who died demonstrating against the Diem government.
- Po Nagar Cham Towers, 2 Thang 4 St. Admission US$0.8. Open daily 7:30AM-5PM. These towers were built by the Cham civilization between the 7th and 12th century to honor Yang Ino Po Ngar, mother of the kingdom. The local Buddhists of Nha Trang occupied this place for prayers and worshipping, and there are many incense lighted giving the place an interesting aroma. The Po Ngar Kalan is a very glorified structure with amazing architectures filled with stunning colors. It is a 20-25 minute walk from the main beach strip, however be prepared to wander through the 'real' Nha Trang, quite a shocking change from the showy built up beach side resort.
- Fishing village Between the old and the new bridge. The fishing village is located between the old and the new bridge. When the fishing boats are coming in or going out it is a beautiful sight. Well worth seeing!
- Bao Dai Villa Near the oceanographic institute The Bao Dai Villas are located on top of a small hill. You have a beautiful view of the Nha Trang bay from there. The wind is cool and it is a nice place to relax at when it is too hot in the city.
- Vinpearl land Take the cable car... http://www.vinpearlland.com/en-US/NhaTrang/VinpearlAmusementPark/2008/12/116.aspx 320,000 dong From the harbour you can take the cable car over to the island where Vinpearl resort and Vinpearl land is located. They have a small tivoli and some restaurants, attractions here include Underwater World (aquarium), Water Park complete with many exciting water slides and wave pool, Amusement Park with roller coaster, pirate ship, bumper cars, 4D cinema and many modern arcade machines and musical fountain and laser show at night time, usually 7pm. All included in the one price.
- Doc Let beach around 40 km north of Nha Trang Doc Let beach is more tranquil, cleaner and beautiful than the beach in Nha Trang. It is well worth taking a tour there.
Local fishermen families sell and prepare seafood which they will cook for you on the beach for a very reasonable price.
- Cam Ranh beach On the road from Nha Trang to Cam Ranh airport The road to the Cam Ranh airport is a very scenic road and worth going just to enjoy the scenery. As you have passed over the mountains there is a very long and nice beach (around 15 - 20 km from Nha Trang city center) which is clean and beautiful. You can buy seafood from small restaurants at the beach.
- Yang Bay Waterfalls 40 km west of Nha Trang At the Yang Bay waterfalls the Vietnamese have built up a concrete beach. It used to be a lot nicer before they built it but it is still a very nice place to visit. You can swim there, and walk around in the area. You should probably bring your own food and drink when you go there though.
- Ba Ho waterfalls
- Fairy Spring waterfalls
- Thap Ba Mud bath
- Bicycle tour in the country side
- Chong rock
- Nha Trang Cathedral Located on a hill overlooking the city, the cathedral shows the influence of French Catholicism. It's a Quaint, free and quick sight to see. The Nha Trang area still has a strong Catholic population. There are Catholic Shops located around the Cathedral.
- Thanh Dien Khanh Fortress
- Boat Cruises – The going rate for a one-day multi-island tour is US$6, with snorkeling, fishing, and many other activities among the possibilities. Tours may provide lunch with drinks on board. Booking agents abound, so compare itineraries to find the best fit for you.
- Sailing – Get a group together and rent out a captain for about US$40 for a best sailing experience. Call the Nha Trang Sailing Club, 058-826-528 for more information.
- Relaxing – Thap Ba natural hotsprings: a must-have experience at an amazingly cheap price,(4$/pax) for the mineral pool and from 12.5/pax for the mudbath (incl.the mineral pool). More you are less it cost. Located on the outskirt of the city, this place provides the most relaxing services you can imagine (hot mud bath, mineral water bath and hot water pool and massages also available).
- Live music at the cafes Many cafes in Nha Trang have live music at night time. They vary in type and quality, so ask around. One favourite is Fuji cafe on Yersin street. They have live music Thursday to Saturday from 8.30PM to 10PM. A small entrance fee is added to the bill (around 30.000 VND) or checkout foreign performers at Red Apple Club or Guava Bar
- Enjoy the fresh sea food The sea food in Nha Trang is famous in Vietnam. All kinds of cuttle fish shell fish, fresh fish etc can be found and it is very delicious.
- Cooking Classes - Lanterns Vietnamese Restaurant 72 Nguyen Thien Thuat Street 058 2471 674 http://www.lanternsvietnam.com/ Tues, Thurs, Sat & Sun 9AM - 2 PM $18 USD per person 2471Half day cooking classes for visitors to Nha Trang at a cost of $18 USD per person. It is a great experience and a must do for someone looking for variety to their trip to Nha Trang and something a little different. It involves travelling to the local market in a cyclo, a guided tour of the marketplace, where you get involved in buying the food. You then return to the restaurant where you prepare 3 dishes as chosen by the guests. It is real value for money.
Diving & snorkeling
Close off-shore from Nha Trang sit a series of islands that offer decent diving and snorkeling, easily accessible by day trip. The city has about two dozen dive shops, making for fierce competition and great value. For certification training, Nha Trang offers perhaps the best value in the world, with PADI open water courses available with full equipment rental for as little as US$200. A two-dive boat trip with equipment rental and modest lunch can be had for as little as US$25, also a phenomenal value.
Coastal and undersea construction has stirred up a lot of sediment in the area, so under-water visibility is sometimes not great. The area is heavily fished, so fish life is also limited. You wouldn't cross the world just to dive at Nha Trang. But if you always dreamed of getting a scuba certification, Nha Trang is a great place to do it, and any diver passing through would enjoy a couple of dips. The shops generally offer good-quality equipment and experienced, certified dive-masters. Diving goes on year-around, but in the October-December windy season, the boat ride can be a bit rough and diving is limited to a few sites in the lee of the islands.
Organization of the Nha Trang dive industry is sometimes complex. If you sign up for a trip with shop A, you might find yourself joined with a group and dive-master from shop B, which shares a boat with another group and dive-master from shop C, the boat itself being independently owned. Consolidation is especially active in the off-season, when few if any shops can fill a boat on their own. It's a good illustration of Vietnamese culture, which does not stand on ceremony, and loves a bargain, and is very skilled at making maximum use of resources. The local dive-masters are mostly great, friendly guys with lots of stories to tell.
- Coco Dive Center 2E Biet Thu +84-583-522-900 http://http://www.cocodivevietnam.com is a vietnamese owned company, managed by "Seawolf" Jean Pierre, who imported recreational diving to Vietnam some 15 years ago.

- Jeremy Stein's Rainbow Divers, 058-826-528 is a high-touch, European-owned operation with partially expat staff.

The operation is well-organized and very professional, catering to divers who aren't comfortable with the more low-key local shops.
- Angel Dive, 1/33 Tran Quang Khai, +84 58 352 2461 is a mid-priced option for diving in Nha Trang. Expat Run, by a long living citizen of Nha Trang. PADI, SSI, SDI and TDI Certified., [3].

- Volunteer in Nha Trang [10] Help NhaTrangLive to promote Nha Trang tourism and help the local community grow. Donate your salary to helping local children that can not afford to go to school get an education. [11]

- A Mart http://phobienhotel.weebly.com/corner-shop.html There are a couple of well stocked modern mini-supermarkets in the main tourist area called A Mart.

Add to this a nice pool, decent live music, and the fact that it is right on the beach with their own loungers. Only the pool table was a bit of a let-down, with one ball missing and children messing about. They have a sampling tray of beer (200ml each of pilsner, witbier, dark lager, and the seasonal, either a red ale or 'crystal' ale) for 75,000vnd. You can get a 1 liter stein of any for 90,000vnd.

Stay safe
Nha Trang generally has a low crime-rate, though the risk of petty crime especially late at night is high compared to most other places in Asia. The most common crime is pickpocketing after midnight on the beach near the Sailing Club. During the day, it is relatively safe. Still, staying cautious at all time is best. Do not wear too much jewelry, and keep an eye on your belongings. It would be smart to travel in groups when you are out roaming the streets at night. Also, people coming home from the clubs should take a taxi.
Motorcycle robbery is fairly common in Nha Trang - banknotes and wallets have been snatched from tourists' hands. Be very wary when leaving bars and nightclubs - male tourists receiving a lot of attention from young Vietnamese women have later discovered that their valuables have been taken from their pockets.
Internet access can be found in many hotels and through cheap internet cafes all over town. The farther away from Bien Thu, the cheaper the rates — 6000 dong/hour is the going rate at most places, although even cheaper can be found. When using the telephone at a hotel be sure to check what service provider they use. A Skype phone will cost a few dollars US for a lengthy phone call whereas a land line charges US$1 per minute. Be wary.
Contact the Nha Trang Tourist information center at (84) 90.714.3404. It is a privately own business that provide free information to tourist and travels. They give away free city maps and allow people to use their wireless internet connect. the Nha Trang Information center can also be reached by search for NhaTrangLive on any major search engine. Pls visit: www.hontamresort.vn
Get out
There are several other beaches in the vicinity of Nha Trang. About 30 km north of Nha Trang, just when past the village of Ninh Hoa, a peninsula juts out into the South Chinese Sea, and on its northern coast rides its tinier brother, Hon Khoi. Several resorts are located on the eastern beach of Hon Khoi, where you find palm-trees, white sand and turquoise waters. To get there, follow the highway north past the turnoff to Dac Lac Province/Buon Ma Thuot. Then look out for a sign reading "Doc Let-Resort", close to a filling station. A taxi will take 2 persons for about 200,000 dong, while a Xe Om should not be more expensive than 100,000 dong. Or catch a through-bus plying highway Nr.1 and jump off at the turn off. There will always be some motorbike-drivers waiting to take you. Whatever place you choose to go, be sure to reserve a bungalow in advance.
- Bai Dai (Long Beach) At 20 KM south of Nha Trang, this is best keep secret in town. Fantastic bleue water and a nicier (less steep and better sand) beach than in town. Come there to find fresh seafood serve at many shacks right on the beach. Best to go by motorcycle or ask your hotel to organise a taxi for you(and don't forget the pickup back). Walk a kilometer or so and you will find yourself alone on that fantastic beach. Do it now, they have begun to build access roads for the soon to come resorts.
- Ba Ho (3 lakes) About 20km north of Nha Trang are a colection of 3 small lakes and scenic waterfalls. The entry cost is 10,000D and you may want to bring some sturdy shoes to climb across the rocks and swimming gear for a dip when you get there. Hire a taxi or take a motorcycle to get there. It will take about 45 minutes from the entrance of the tourist area to the lakes. There is an orphanage very close to the lakes (take a right turn when you get to a T-junction in the rice fields) that would really benefit from any gifts of vegetarian food (take milk, tofu, yoghurt etc). Call Dieu An, the nun on 0905 823807 - she speaks Vietnamese however.
- Doc Let Beach Resort, sign-posted; Tel. 058-849663, Fax 849506. The best known place and closest to the mainland. Though it started out as a traveller's secret, it quickly became a destination for domestic tourists, who basically flood the place during weekends and holidays. There is some socialist charm to the not so "white palm beach turquoise waters"-like architecture of the place, but it's definitely not the old Robinson-feeling you might be craving. A 333 beer plus 6 huge langoustines will set you back all of 90,000 dong!
- Jungle Beach [23] (84) 91-3429144 or local # (058)622-384,email@example.com is reportedly slightly more upmarket, with prices being US$22 or 350,000 dong per person, even if you sleep on the beach or one of the beach side huts. Run by a Canadian-Vietnamese couple, all meal is included, and it's the most remote of the resorts here.
- Paradise Resort Nha Nhi Thien Duong, follow the signs from Doc Let-Resort through Dong Hai-village 0084-58-670480 email@example.com 0084-58-670479 Bungalows are US$16-18 (US$11-14 for a single person), depending on how close they are to the beach. Meals are included, and prices for drinks are reasonable. Water, fruits, coffee and tea are free. Run by an elderly gentleman and his Vietnamese family. Vladimir is a very interesting, jovial guy and his family cooks up wonderful food. beers are cheap and you just mark a chit on a sheet on the refrigerator to keep track of your total. He is also a bit cheap, and may scrintch on the water supply to your bungalow. Just tell him to turn it back on! The beach in front is beautiful and usually deserted except for some village kids. It is very easy to sleep a week away there in a hammock kissed by sea breezes. Usually a wonderful bunch of travellers there to socialize with at meals and in the evenings. You can rent a motorbike in Nha Trang for the easy ride up to Doc Let. Any buses can also drop you on the main road for a 10 minute walk to Paradise. Vladimir will also drop you in Nha Trang on the back of his scooter if he's going into town.

WFISD CFO to leave for new job
District's next superintendent to rule on hiring
After spending one year in the Wichita Falls Independent School District, Chief Financial Officer Ronald Kuehler will leave Wichita Falls on June 15 to take a similar position in Duncanville ISD, near Dallas.
Kuehler replaced former CFO Tim Turner, who left for a CFO position in Highland Park ISD at this time last year.
Kuehler moved to Wichita Falls from Burleson ISD and is returning to the Dallas-Fort Worth area "for personal family reasons," according to the WFISD news release.
He is leaving as fiscal year 2012-13 budget deliberations are in full swing.
WFISD Finance Director Laura Lee Brock will take on the interim chief finance officer role and guide budget development throughout the summer.
"She has been through it several times with Mr. Turner," said Renae Murphy, WFISD public information officer. "She is very experienced in knowing the budget process and the development of it."
Brock took a leading role in budget development last year when Turner left and Kuehler transitioned into his new role.
This year WFISD does not plan to hire a new CFO immediately, Murphy said. The decision of hiring the next CFO will be left to the new superintendent.
WFISD Superintendent Geoge Kazanas performed graduation duties Saturday, which was his last official day as WFISD superintendent. He will leave the area after three years to take a superintendent role in Midway ISD, near Waco.
The WFISD board also is in the process of searching for a new superintendent, hoping to interview top candidates in June and have the position filled by the end of July.
Until then, Assistant Superintendent Tim Powers is serving as interim superintendent. With the departure of Kuehler, who served a dual role as CFO and operations officer, Powers will take on Kuehler's operations duties.
That adds supervision of technology, bus services, food service, and the maintenance department to Powers' plate.
Murphy estimated that the district may save more than two months of salary by not employing a new CFO immediately. "The new superintendent will have to determine what he wants to do," Murphy said, estimating that there might be a significant time lag. "It's difficult to find a chief financial officer."
It's particularly difficult, she said, to find someone who will take on both the role of chief financial officer and operations officer, as WFISD requires. "To have one who can do both is rare," she said.
At one time in WFISD, the district employed a second assistant superintendent to do the operations role, but that was eventually merged into one job that former WFISD CFOs Carter Scherff, Ken Parker, Tim Turner and Kuehler were willing to take on.
Kuehler is leaving for a slightly smaller district of 13,000 students and 1,600 staff to oversee a budget of about $90.5 million. While in WFISD, he helped move the district into a new technology software system called Skyward and closely followed the district's tax collection rate.

Hi all, in Orthodox does this verse predict the coming of Jesus or the Prophet Mosses?Please, elaborate on your statements, thank you.Deuteronomy 18:15-18"15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him. 16 For this is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, "Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die."17 The Lord said to me: "What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him."
Bartholomew, 270th Archbishop of Constantinople-New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch, is spiritual leader to 300 million Orthodox Christians throughout the world.
If this verse predicting Christ, why is it referring as just a Prophet then, not a Son of God or a Messiah? I thought it was revering to the Prophet Moses..

Rare and Underrated 1855-O Ten Dollar1855-O $10 AU 58 NGC. Fewer than 100 pieces are known today of the 1855-O in all grades from the mintage of 18,000. Most of the known survivors are in the VF-XF grade range. Only a dozen or so pieces are believed extant in AU condition, and most of those are marginal AU 50 or slightly better. The surfaces on this coin retain most of the original mint luster and at first glance it closely resembles an Uncirculated piece. The striking details are above average for the issue with some weakness seen on several of the peripheral stars but strong definition in the centers. Semi-prooflike, as usual, the surfaces are lightly abraded overall with the only mentionable defects being a couple of marks on the portrait of Liberty. (NGC ID# 263M, PCGS# 8617)

Hi Mamas!
DD is 3 and DH and I are seriously talking about TTC again. I know the recommended time frame for starting prenatals is three months before conception. Are all of you doing this? What type are you taking? I had one with DD that I had to take three times a day. I'd rather not do that. I can do twice a day but three times a day is a bit much for me.
I think it's the folic acid that they've shown is good to take months before you conceive. My doctor said not to take prenatals until I was actually pregnant because the iron can be constipating. I started taking them once we actually started trying. I think you would probably be fine with just the folic acid for now. It's easier to take 1 a day.
Married to a wonderful woman since 2010. Baby boy C arrived in June 2013!

I am taking them. Partly so I can get in the habit before I become pg. I am horrible at taking pills!! The ones I got cover all 9 months and are from New Chapter Organics. I got them on Amazon. They are called Perfect Prenatal Complete Trimester. They can be taken on an empty stomach or with food. I usually take mine with milk and a little bite of something to eat or a meal and I am fine. It is 3 times a day though, so I started out at once a day and then just recently worked up to three times a day. It has made it easier for me to get in the habit! And it has the folic acid (folate) in them.
I'm taking Rainbow Lite Prenatals. I take one each night before I go to bed because I cannot take any vitamins or eat for an hour after I take my Synthroid each morning. I'm also taking Vitex, one with lunch and one with the Prenatal. The prenatal pills are huge and I really don't like the way they look or smell and they cause me to have nausea and tons of these tiny little burps when I take them, but taking them at night seems to help me avoid consciously experiencing that.
It's really hard to remember to take them!

Advice & Support
For many years, antiepileptic
medicine was the only treatment for people with
epilepsy. This is still true for many people, although
surgery is now an option for some. Seizures that cannot be controlled with
medicine or treated by surgery may sometimes respond to other
Treatments for epilepsy that can be used along with
medicines and surgery may include:
The ketogenic diet has been used
with some success in treating children with severe seizures who have not
responded to antiepileptic medicines. It has been especially effective in
treating seizures related to
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy
that does not respond well to medicines. Extremely high in fat and low in
carbohydrates, the ketogenic diet can be hard to follow.
