We are closing in on the trade deadline very fast, and the New York Yankees need to make a move to acquire a starting pitcher.
There are no less than three quality arms that have been rumored to be available, any one of which would turn the Yankees into the top American League team—if they are not already.
A quality starter in pinstripes would all but guarantee a trip to the ALCS and perhaps the World Series.

So, here's what he said:
"Well for the Rhapsody issue, we were also trying to get a sense of just how many people were concerned about the issue, and what their exact feelings/reactions were. Plus that issue was much more widespread across the Internet, so we were trying to consolidate everything into one place.
In this case, all the info is already right here and the issue is much more apparent/straightforward, so an organized e-mailing campaign isn't necessarily the right way to approach it.
Hopefully that makes sense!"
Not really. In fact, it makes more questions! But, whatever.
SA-KU-RA: RYU > Silly Scrubs! ROFLMAO!
So making a crappy product and seeing how many people complain about it is some form of research?

That's pretty much how it comes off sounding.
"There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact."
I don't really know why they had to research the matter, if one large group of fans wants extra content and another large group wanted the English songs and they don't get either, you're gonna have one giant group of pissed off people.

I wonder if those trolls trashing the Rhapsody Wiki article and trying to shut up the fans are NISA employees. Seems unlikely, but it's better than thinking they're stalkers or have a sick obsession or something.>_> They've now gotten nearly 30 people blocked on false charges...in the course of three months. I wouldn't have heard about it at all if it hadn't been for the fact that one of the creeps tried to claim the one creating all these accounts-even though they're all pretty obviously different people,-and then proceeded to post my personal information online.-.- It's just one thing after another for us Marl fans...

I don't think NISA employees would sink that low. Whoever did do that obviously has issues.
"There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact."

Guys, you should really go and see the article for yourselves...
The glitches are mentioned. Details about when/how exactly the glitches occur aren't, as that would turn the article into what it's not supposed to be: a FAQ or a game guide.
Fan reaction to the glitches and missing content isn't mentioned... as it goes without saying, really. Of course, they're angry/upset/etc. Who wouldn't be? Adding that to the article would be akin to adding "their fans were sad when they died" to each article about dead celebrities.
SyberiaWinx is simply throwing a fit because she just got blocked from Wikipedia. Again. That's what happens when you keep lying, insulting people and creating sockpuppet accounts.
The day she'll realize she'd be better off using logic over sheer annoyance, evidence over lies, new arguments over fake "support" will be a glorious day indeed.

'Mom still unhappy with what I'm doing'
By IANS - MUMBAI
Published: 30th September 2013 01:49 PM
Last Updated: 30th September 2013 01:49 PM
Soha Ali Khan, a graduate of Oxford University, chose to become an actress like her mother Sharmila Tagore. But she says her star mom is not happy with her choice of profession and wants her daughter to be a lawyer.
Soha, who holds a masters degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science, made her Bollywood debut with "Dil Maange More!!!" in 2004. Most of her movies didn't do well at the box-office, but she was appreciated for her performance in movies like "Rang De Basanti" and "Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns".
"My mother is still not happy with what I am doing. Even now she calls me each Sunday and says 'You can still be a lawyer, it's not too late. You must go to Harvard (university)'. She keeps saying 'You have studied so much and you are not making use of it'.
"I've to tell her that I am really enjoying what I am doing. I am happy, but as a mother she is worried about her child... Her main concern is what I'll do in the next 10 to 20 years," Soha told IANS here.
Sharmila may have reservations about Soha's career choice, but she is cool with her live-in relationship with her boyfriend Kunal Kemmu.
"She is actually very cool. I think she is cool, but she says 'I am tired of telling you guys but you guys don't listen to me. Now that you are grown up, there is no point in running after you guys'.
"My mum says 'By this time you should've been a lawyer, married woman, should have two to three kids, but what are you guys doing?'"
"She is tired of saying this again and again; so now she has resigned to the fact that this is happening and she has no control over it," added the 34-year-old.
Soha also believes that by now people must be bored of the couple. It's been almost three years since she started dating Kunal Kemmu.
"Why are people interested in my life? I am sure people must be bored by this time. I have already given a huge news this year that we both are staying together now. All I can say is I have given a big news for this year. Now wait for next year," said the sister of actor Saif Ali Khan.
Soha, who has acted in Bengali films like "Antarmahal" and "Iti Srikanta", says people like regional movies as there is honesty in them.
"People like regional films because there is honesty, truth and identity in those films. Meanwhile Hindi cinema needs to relate to everyone; so to make a film on a national level it can't be so rooted," she said.
"Regional films like in Bengali can be rooted in culture. I have done two Bengali films and I am proud about them," she added.
She is currently busy promoting war comedy "War Chhod Na Yaar", which will hit the theatres Oct 11.
Directed by Faraz Haidar, "War Chhod Na Yaar" also features Sharman Joshi and Jaaved Jaaferi.

Cedarburg native Josh Thompson unveils video for 'Wanted Me Gone'
Just in time for a concert swing through his home state, Wisconsin's biggest national country star, Josh Thompson, has released the video for his new song, "Wanted Me Gone." The song is the second single from Thompson's sophpmore album, "Turn It Up," which was released in April. It is already following the first song, "Cold Beer With Your Name On It" toward the country radio top 40.
The song is a classic country kiss off with a catchy groove. The video finds Thompson addressing his ex from the tailgate of a pickup filled with his belongings and sitting defiantly in a lawn chair under a window with his clothes - and even a whitetail archery target- raining down on him. »Read Full Blog Post

Every team has the "one that got away," a player that the team drafted but failed to sign and later went on to post a significant career with another team.
So who are the A's "ones who got away"? We take a look...
Note: Selections are in date order from oldest to most recent.
Floyd Bannister – Selected in Round Three in June 1973
Bannister was drafted by the A's out of Kennedy High School in Seattle, Washington. He turned down the A's contract offer and elected to go to Arizona State. The gamble paid off. He was selected as the first overall pick by the Houston Astros in 1976. Bannister would spend only one season in the minor leagues before mounting a long major league career. He had a 4.06 ERA in 2,386 career innings. He won 10 or more games from 1982 though 1988, but he also had double-digit losses in all of those seasons. Bannister retired after the 1992 season after 15 seasons in the big leagues.
Bob Horner – Selected in Round 15 in June 1975
Horner was selected as a high school shortstop out of Glendale, Arizona. Like Bannister, he chose to go to Arizona State and, like Bannister, he parlayed his high school career into a number one draft selection three years later. Horner went right from college to the big leagues, debuting with Atlanta in 1978. He hit 23 homers in only 89 games that season and went on to hit at least 15 homeruns in each of his 10 major league seasons (with the exception of 1984, when he appeared in only 32 games). Horner finished his career with 218 homeruns. He also hit 31 homeruns in one season in Japan.
Hubie Brooks – Selected in Round One in January 1977 (secondary round)
Brooks was a tough catch. He was drafted six times before signing with the New York Mets in 1978. The A's were the third team to draft him, taking him in the secondary round in 1977. Once he did sign, Brooks spent little time in the minors, debuting with the Mets in 1980. He played 15 seasons in the big leagues, hitting 149 career homers and driving in 824 runs. He drove-in a career-high 100 runs in 1985 for Montreal and hit 20 homers in 1988 and in 1990.
Robby Thompson – Selected in Round Two in January 1982 (regular phase)
Most Bay Area fans remember Thompson as the second baseman that the San Francisco Giants chose to re-sign rather than keeping first baseman Will Clark. Long before that, however, Thompson was drafted out of Palm Beach CC in the January draft. He was selected three times before signing with the Giants in 1983 as the second overall pick in that draft. Thompson made his major league debut in 1986 with San Francisco and he spent 11 seasons with the Giants. His best season was in 1993, when he hit .312 with 19 homers and 65 RBIs.
Rodney Peete –Selected in Round 14 in 1988 and in Round 13 in 1989
Peete may have made his mark on the gridiron, but the A's thought enough of his baseball playing skills to draft him twice while he was at USC. He was a third baseman for the Trojans. Peete chose to go to the NFL after finishing second in the Heisman Trophy balloting. He would have a long career as an NFL back-up quarterback, throwing 76 touchdowns and 92 interceptions in 16 seasons.
Robert Fick – Selected in Round 45 in 1992
Fick was a high school catcher from Southern California when he was taken by the A's in 1992. He elected to go to Cal State Northridge, where he put together a solid collegiate career. He turned that career into a fifth round draft selection by the Detroit Tigers in 1996. Fick had 114 RBIs in Double-A in 1998 and that production earned him a major league debut with the Tigers that same season. He hit three homers in only seven games with Detroit that season. He had his best seasons in 2001-2003, hitting double-digit homeruns and driving-in at least 60 runs in all three seasons. He appeared in 60 games for the Washington Nationals in 2006.
Trevor Crowe –Selected in Round 20 in 2002
Crowe was a high school shortstop from Portland, Oregon, when he was selected by the A's in 2002. He decided to go to college and turned himself into an Oakland A's-type of a player at the University of Arizona. In his final season at Arizona, he had a .477 OBP and he walked more times than he struck out. The A's were rumored to be interested in Crowe in 2005, but he was selected by the Indians in the first round before the A's had a chance to grab him. He is now one of the Indians' top prospects. Last season, the speedy outfielder stole 45 bases at three levels.
Jon Papelbon –Selected in Round 40 in 2002
The A's 2002 draft would have really been one to remember if they had been able to sign Papelbon. Unfortunately for Oakland (and the AL East), he returned to Mississippi State for his senior season to improve his draft stock. It worked and he went in the fourth round to Boston the next season. He sped through the Red Sox system, making his debut late in the season in 2005. In 2006, Papelbon was the Red Sox closer, saving 35 games and posting a remarkable 0.92 ERA. He had arm soreness at the end of the season and is expected to be moved into the Red Sox starting rotation in 2007.

Magnum Men's Viper Pro 8" Side Zip Wide Waterproof Work Boot Reviews
Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 8reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by GatorGetter Like the Boot, But..... I have purchased 3 pair of the Magnum waterproof boots. Two of which are the side zip and one lace-ups. The problem with both side zip pairs has been seperation of the soles from the boot. I am a State of Florida Nuisance Alligator Trapping Agent and frequently end up in wet environments and rough terrain and need to depend on a good pair of boots to handle the job. The company was good in replacing my second pair of side zips. But now less than 6 months later with the replacement pair, the sole are seperating again. Wouldn't mind an upgrade if the company would work with me. February 27, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Rak911 I bought these boots in June to use as work and hiking shoes. I needed something that was sturdy, comfortable, water proof, and had a side zip. These seemed to have everything I wanted. They worked great-at first.I am not hard on my shoes, and was surprised to find that at first, my feet were getting wet... from the shoes detaching from the sole. After just a few months of ownership, they're completely unwearable. November 30, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by marjar65 thought I found great boots..NOT! bought a pair of viper boots about 3 months ago,the sole on the left one is already coming lose and what ever coating is on them is peeling off.I do not abuse them,I am a maintenance guy and spend most of my day walking,they have not had any chemicals on them and other than stepping in small puddles..they have not been wet. November 12, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by SARtechII Not worth the money Extended break in period due to hot spots and rubbing that never changed. Worn 3 days a week (alternating boots due to rubbing) and the inside liner at the heal has already worn away and torn. These should be $39 at big five, not over $100. Paying $10-$15 to return boots and try another size to find something that fits is ridiculous. If a store wanted to charge you $10 to try another size we wouldn't shop there would we?

Looking for a long lasting lip product?
Try this.
This is legitimately the most long lasting lip product I've ever tried. Once you put it on, it does not budge until it's removed with a proper makeup remover. I'm talking about the Clio Virgin Kiss Lipnicure. It's marketed as a manicure for the lips hence the name "Lipnicure". This product claims to be 'specially developed to provide extreme long-lasting effect and high intensity colors for a flawless finish with a single touch upon lips'.
First off, the product description is completely spot-on. It is highly pigmented and opaque with just one swipe on the lips and lasts all day long. The colour that I have to show is 5 Revenge Pink, a very vivid pink shade which is quite similar to MAC Speak Louder lipstick except even brighter.
Here's how it looks like on the lips.
The finish of this product is incredibly matte which contributes to it being super long lasting however, it also means that the formula is rather drying on the lips. If you apply this on dry or chapped lips, it would sink into the lines and look horrible so I always apply a thicker layer of lip balm before using it. It comes with a curved doe-foot applicator which makes the application process a bit easier however you have to be very careful when applying because it also dries really quickly. And once it dries, it's not going anywhere.
With that being said, it is completely smudge proof and does not transfer. It doesn't come off on your hands if you touch your lips and it also doesn't come off when you eat or drink. However, it does fade a bit if you eat any oily food.
Also, I wouldn't recommend anyone applying more than one coat of this product. I've tried before and it ended up looking really dry and thick, and feeling very heavy on the lips. One coat is all you really need! There is also a 'lipnicure sealer' available to make the product last EVEN longer but I didn't get it because the product itself is already so long wearing. There is also a lipnicure remover specially for removing the product, but I find that using any oil based makeup remover would do the job just fine.
Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone! I do have to say that you have to make sure that your lips are smooth and moisturized before applying this or else it would be a nightmare. There are many other beautiful colours in the range but I don't think all of them are available at Guardian -which is where I picked mine up.
Thanks for reading!
Are there any other long lasting lip products that you recommend?

Current Favourites!
Hi everyone! I'm finally on a school break now so I have time to update my blog. As usual, school has been really hectic and my exams are just a month away :( anyway, today this post will be dedicated to some of the products that I started using recently and have been liking a lot.
1. Skinfood Peach Sake Pore Serum, 2. The Body Shop Shimmer Waves 02 Blush, 3. Maybelline Color Tattoo - Inked in Pink, 4. MAC lipstick - Taupe
Let's start off with this product, this is from The Body Shop and it's the Shimmer Waves in the shade 02 Blush. This product can be used on the eyes and the cheeks. Each of the colours in the product can be used individually as eye colours or, you could mix all the colours together as a shimmery blush. I use this for both my eyes and face but I really love the look of this on my eyes when paired with the Maybelline Colour Tattoo (below) as the base. The pigmentation of this product isn't very intense but it does give off a very beautiful glow.
Then, I have this Maybelline Colour Tattoo in the colour Inked in Pink. This is a cream eyeshadow and I got it at Guardian for $6 during the sale last December. I really love this product because the colour is very pigmented and it stays on for a very long time. Usually I would use this with my Etude House eye primer and then top it off with any pink shadow or the shimmer waves mentioned above. I've worn this for over 12 hours before and my eyeshadow was still on with no creasing or fading.
Next up, is the MAC lipstick in Taupe (It looks A LOT darker in this photo than it does in real life). This is a matte lipstick and I would describe the shade as a terracotta brown colour with some mauve undertones. It's a very wearable colour for my skin tone and I've been using it a lot! Also, it has good staying power. I'm wearing it in the photo below :)
Then lastly I have a skincare product! This is the Skinfood Peach Sake Pore Serum. I only put this on before I use any face makeup, kinda like a primer, because I find that this is very good at making my skin look and feel matte whilst also minimizing the look of my pores. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with drier skin as I find that it doesn't really moisturize the skin at all. I always use a separate moisturizer underneath before I put this on! But it's still a great product and I love using it!
That's all for now! Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Review: Catrice Defining Blush
Hi everyone! Today's review is going to be on the Catrice Defining Blush in 070 Pinkerbell and 030 Love and Peach. These blushes can be found in Paloma stores locally and they retail for 4.90BND each.
Catrice describes these blushes as a "silky soft powder blush for a natural radiant complexion. With vitamin E. Nurturing and smoothens small skin imperfections. Dermatologically tested. Oil-free."
First off, these blushes come in a plastic packaging; which is similar to their mono eyeshadows but these close a lot more tightly and securely than the eyeshadows.
The pigmentation of these blushes are really great! However, I do think that the pigmentation is not consistent. What I mean by this is... the blush I own in Love and Peach is much more pigmented than Pinkerbell. It's not really a big problem but it is something to take note of. Below are photos of the blushes swatched. (side note: I had to swatch the pink one 2 or 3 times whereas the peach one only once)
Blended out. (L: Love and Peach, R: Pinkerbell)
Overall, these blushes are great! They have great pigmentation, longevity and a very reasonable price! Thanks for reading :)

Review: Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Palette in Oh So Special
Hi everyone! Today, I'm going to be reviewing an eyeshadow palette from Sleek Makeup! The one that I have to review today is the one is Oh So Special, I actually also have the one in Storm but never got around to doing a review (but I do really enjoy that palette).
This palette is sold in UK drugstores and also they have their own online site. If you live in Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore or anywhere close, you can buy it off of Luxola. My sister bought me mine from the UK because she stays there.
Firstly, this palette is completely black, looks and feels very 'sleek'. It also comes with a large mirror which I find very handy to use. Sleek eyeshadow palettes all come with 12 eyeshadows. The one that I'm reviewing has 7 matte shadows and 5 shimmery shades. The colours in this palette range from creamy beiges and pale pinks to deeper matte browns and even a black and a shimmery plum!
The shade names in this palette (from left to right)
Top row: Bow, Organza, Ribbon, Gift Basket, Glitz, Celebrate
- Bow (matte) is a soft, creamy white shade good for highlighting the brow bone or as a base for other shadows all over the lid.
- Organza (shimmer) is a light frosty pink shade with golden shimmers. Good pigmentation, this shade would be great with many eye looks and also would look great worn alone.
- Ribbon (matte) is a peachy pink shade. I don't use this shade much but personally I think it would look better as a blush rather than an eye shadow. Also, the texture of this shadow is rather chalky and the pigmentation is not as great as the other shades.
- Gift Basket (shimmer) is a light brown with golden shimmers. Good pigmentation, very buttery and smooth texture. This shade can also be worn with many different looks.
- Glitz (shimmer) is a blueish-grey eye shadow infused with silver shimmers. The pigmentation and texture of this shade is great. It would be a great colour to use for a smokey eye however, I've never worn it on my eyes before.
- Celebrate (shimmer) is a deep plum with purple shimmers in it. Lovely pigmentation and texture however like Glitz, it isn't a shade that I would use on a daily basis.
- Pamper (matte) is a pale peachy pink. The colour payoff for this particular shade is horrible, the texture of this shadow is also incredibly chalky. I use this as a transition shade if I'm doing a pink-toned eye look but I do need to load up my blending brush a lot to just get a decent hint of colour!
- Gateau (shimmer) is a frosty light pink with golden shimmers, very similar to Organza but Gateau has more purple tones while the former is more pink.
- The Mail (matte) is a light matte brown. I love this shade! This shade is also in the Storm palette but I hated it last time because I thought it was too light but... now I really love using it as a transition shade.
- Boxed (matte) is a dark chocolate brown. This shade also was in the Storm palette and the pigmentation is great! Soft and buttery texture as well.
- Wrapped Up (matte) is a dark brown with more purple undertones. Has very good pigmentation and texture.
- Noir (matte) is a deep matte black. This shade also came in the Storm palette. I like this shade because it's so dark that I can easily use it with an angled brush on my lash line as an eyeliner!
Overall, I really like this palette! There were some disappointing shades (i.e. Ribbon & Pamper) because of their chalky texture and low colour payoff. Aside from that, all the other eye shadows had lovely pigmentation and have a very buttery soft texture that is easy to apply and blend out on the eyelids. Personally I don't experience any significant eye shadow fallout from this palette although I have to say that the matte shades do sometimes have fallout so you have to remember to tap off any excess off your brush before applying onto your eyes.

Recent Happenings
Hey everyone!
Just felt like doing a random post of what I've been up to. I've completed my first year of A-Levels and I have to say I'm quite relieved to have a break from school work. But I'm not looking forward to next year's work. The past two months have been so stressful and hectic because of my AS exams and my piano exam. All the exams were doable. Except for my Economics papers. I totally messed up during the exam. ugh.
My first week of holidays has been nice so far. A summary of my week: watched Penguins of Madagascar on Monday, Dumb and Dumber To on Tuesday, went to Starbucks on Wednesday, went to Jerudong Park on Thursday - which was very underwhelming. It was quite empty when I got there so there weren't any long queues but still, there wasn't really much to do there. Also, the water in the moat around the carousel smelt really horrible... I did like the junior coaster ride, though. So, we left the park early and went to watch another movie at The Mall.
Went to Agrotech Park on Friday because I haven't been there before. And here's a random picture I took on that day. It's actually my favourite one of the bunch. For some reason I didn't actually go in to see the flowers which were initially what I was looking forward to seeing.
Then on Saturday I went to the DST Carnival. There wasn't anything particularly interesting there, just a lot of food. I only got some pasta, a corn dog and a 20% off coupon for Zalora which I probably won't use anyway... And today I had brunch at Patisserie and didn't go anywhere else.
I start work tomorrow! My only previous working experience was when I joined this entrepreneurship program/competition in school a few months ago. My team and I set up our own small business and had a booth at The Mall and also the stadium during the SME Promotion in June. We didn't end up winning but oh well, it was fun. So tomorrow will be considered as my first 'real' job. Looking forward to it. At least I get to do something different this holiday!
Thanks for reading :D

Wednesday, January 22, 2014
The Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy was envisioned by the Rev. Edward Robinson Rob Dewey in November 1990. And now, 25 years later he says, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought it would be as accepted as it is by the 38 agencies we serve or the community at large.
A 25th Anniversary Celebration for the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy will be held at the Charleston Marriott on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 6 p.m. The event will feature a large silent auction, and the David Archer Band will entertain guests throughout the evening. Tickets are $100 for civilians and $50 for First Responders, with heavy hors doeuvres included. If you would like purchase tickets, to learn more about becoming a sponsor for the event, or if you have an item or service to donate to the silent auction, please call Tara Abbott at 843-724-1212.
According to Dewey, when the chaplaincy began in 1990 he was doing ride-alongs with deputies. Now, alongside emergency personnel, chaplains are first responders in their own right.
As I look around the country and we continue to be one of the most active chaplaincy programs in the United States, I realize we couldnt do this without the community and the agency directors support, he said.
It has been exciting for me to be a part of this metamorphose and growing experience and watching it all happen.
Being there when asked is a way of life for the chaplains and volunteers. The philosophy is a ministry of presence in a time of need.
But to do that the chaplaincy needs the continued financial support of the community. Only eight percent of their funding comes from government sources. The rest comes from churches, civic groups and individuals.
As a nonprofit ministry were in the process of raising money to hire a third chaplain so we can offer the community even more time and better services, said Dewey. We have 19 volunteer chaplains but often they are not available on weekend and other times. A third chaplain would allow us more flexibility.
The history
Prior to his attending seminary and being ordained as an Episcopal priest, he was a certified police officer in the state of North Carolina. Later, while serving as Assistant Rector for St. Johns Church on Johns Island, S.C., Rev. Dewey served as a volunteer police chaplain for the Charleston County Sheriffs Office. This unique combination of experiences helped him realized that, due to the very nature of their jobs, law enforcement officers frequently require the support and counsel of qualified professionals in the management of stress related symptoms.
He also saw that there was a very real need to have a Chaplain on the scene of a police response who could act in a pro-active mode and offer support and comfort to both the officers and the public/victims, and that these needs were largely not being met in the community.
With the assistance of the Charleston County Sheriffs Office, the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, the Law Enforcement Chaplaincy of Charleston County was formed in September of 1991. It originally was an adjunct ministry of the Episcopal Diocese, responsible for raising its own funds, with an advisory board consisting of community volunteers who administered the program. In 1993, the name was changed to the Coastal Police Chaplaincy in order to include the seventeen agencies it now serves.
In 1994 the Coastal Police Chaplaincy was incorporated as a nonprofit organization. That same year a survival follow-up program was established, all staffed by volunteers. These people are trained to administer follow-up support to victims.
In an attempt to ensure that the name was representative of all the agencies that they served, the board of directors voted in 1997 to change the name to Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy.
How it works
The Coastal Crisis Chaplains are on call twenty-four hours a day and can be reached by county and city emergency dispatchers as well as officers and citizens. Chaplains offer a unique type of assistance, especially in a sensitive situation.
The Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy is a member of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Chaplains Association and The International Conference of Police Chaplains. Rev. Dewey is one of 120 trained FBI Chaplains in the United States and a SLED Chaplain. He also served as President of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Chaplains Association from 1992 until 1996. All Chaplains are ordained ministers and must meet rigid qualifications for selection and training in the program.
Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy is frequently called upon to provide training to establish similar programs in other areas and to respond to natural disasters.

The day of our trip, was extremely clear! It was absolutely beautiful getting to see the volcano. Our tour guide was very educated about Costa Rica and all of the things we saw. I didn't just learn about the volcano I also learned about Costa Rican culture, animals, history, economy, and much more. The majority of the trip is spend in the car due to the long drive. But we made many different stops as well. We also spent 3 hours at the hot springs, which were beautiful.

Historical Traveler Reviews Motel 6 San Simeon
Poor service and smoky "non"smoking rooms!
We stayed here after having spent the previous night in another, pleasant, Motel 6 a few hours away, and I have to say that this place in San Simeon was the worst motel experience we've ever had. We arrived at the 3:00 check in time to be greeted by a guy whose attitude was MILES less than pleasant. "Come back in an hour," he grunted with no explanation. When we returned, we found that our supposedly non-smoking room was right next to a set of smoking rooms, and the kicker is that this place is like a hotel (with indoor hallways) so by 8pm the cigarette smoke was wafting throughout our entire building. It was disgusting.
Speaking of disgusting, we had a bathroom sink that was completely plugged up. Called the front desk at 8:30 pm to request service and ask for a wake-up call, but gave up after the phone went unanswered. Tried again at 9:00 and found nobody answering yet again. So, out came the tool box from the back of the van and I fixed the thing myself. No alarm clock + no wake up call = a rude awakening. We won't be back.
Very good stay
Stayed for 1 night - August 27th on trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Check in was quick and easy. I booked on the internet in advance. It was fully booked when others tried to book on the night so during the summer season at weekends book early. The room was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. I was pleasantly surprised it was so large and so nice. It had tv, towels and soap but no shampoos and lotions. Beds were fine to sleep in. Good shower and bathroom. There is an attached restaurant which does good food and large portions. It is quite expensive but I don't think there is a lot of choice around there. There was also a late bar attached to the restaurant. It had karaoke which was quite entertaining after a long drive. There is also free coffee in the morning and an on site outdoor swimming pool which we didn't have time to swim in. We used the motel to lay our head for one night but it is close to Hearst castle. We had a good nights sleep and we parked quite close to our room. I would recommend this motel to all travellers. It was much nicer than we expected.
Stayed here 1 night and was very pleased..
Parking can be a walk to your room though.
The restauraunt had good food but was a bit pricey..
Coastal access across the street and 5 minutes from Hearst castle ..
About 10 minutes north on hwy 1 is a vista point with large sea lions on the beach..
Rooms were clean and management very nice.
You get what you pay for.....
I will only recommend this place as a rest stop if you need a place to crash for the night. Rooms are cheap but clean. Walls are so thin that I was able to hear my neigbor's conversation and TV through out the night. I would not stay here for more than one night.
Clean with no frills!
Stayed here last week and liked it alot. This place used to be a Holiday Inn years back but has since been remodeled into a Motel 6; thus it is interior corridors with a on-site restaurant (which I did not eat at but it looked good), outdoor pool, and a lobby with a sitting area. The rooms are larger than your average Motel 6 room, bright & clean. Housekeeping replenished towels and made up the room nicely each day. Keep in mind that Motel 6 towels are THE WORST and you will need like 2 or 3 to do the job of a normal terry bath towel, so you might ask the housekeepers for some extra. Oh, and no nice shampoo or lotion, all you get is 2 bars of soap and a plastic set of cups with an ice bucket. One great thing about this place is that it has beach access about a 10 minute walk. The beach is not great but this is San Simeon....
oh, one last thing. ALWAYS book on Motel 6's website for their "Click 6" rate which saved us a few bucks off their rack rate.
happy travels!
Great value for money
For the price we paid ($45 for the room with two queen beds), the Motel 6 was excellent. The room was large, clean and quiet, the staff were very welcoming and nice, towels etc were provided - everything you can expect and more for that price. Would definitely stay there again.
Workable in a pinch but I wouldn't recommend
We stayed Aug 7, 2004. Our room included/Comments: 2 Q beds, pool, laundry, overpriced rest on site, no cont break, this place was all I could find at the late date that I booked that wasn't outrageously expensive (I paid $88 online, though people who were checking in with me were paying as much as $120 for the same thing as us), this place is no frills, I have to admit I'v never been a hotel that provided less amenities, but the room was quite and pretty clean, the only amenities in the room are towels, soap and cups, not even a clock (there was a TV though), we had trouble and attitude getting an extra blanket and they were out of extra pillows, there are great charming places to stay in Cambria but if you are going during peak season you can pay as much as $250 a night and they are not really geared for kids so Motel 6 it was. I would really wouldn't recommend this place.
The Motel 6 is a place to sleep, but nothing more
We waited too long to reserve a hotel for a weekend reservation inSan Simeon. Fortunately, the Motel 6 had one room left, and we took it. The price was reasonable, though the front desk clerk quoted a higher price than was booked on the internet. That got squared away. I shudder to think how someone with disabilties can navigate this property. We couldn't find anything but steps to climb to our room. Even parking close to the room wasn't possible, as the parking lot isn't near any rooms! The room was clean, but had towels as thin as tissue. It's noisy, with thin walls and blaring TV's. Breakfast was very good, though, at their restaurant. We checked out a day early and found a terrific hotel at Moonstone Beach, just a few minutes towards Cambria. Much nicer and whole lot more to see and do. Yes, Hearst Castle is a beautiful place to tour, but I wouldn't stay in San Simeon again, unless there is no other choice.
Great hotel, great price!
This hotel was lovely. It was nice and quiet, the front desk woman was very pleasant. The room was clean, but there was no alarm clock, that was weird, but we were able to get a wake up call so that was good enough. The hotel restaurant has good breakfast. We enjoyed our stay here!
Great bargain for the area
I've stayed at four different hotels in the Cambria-San Simeon area, and the Motel 6 is the best bang for its buck I have found.
First the bad news: the rooms are not luxurious, but what do you expect for the price? There are no ocean views, but ocean-view rooms are surprisingly rare in the area and cost a lot. Chances are you're in town for Hearst Castle, so is the view from the room really that important?
This is the only Motel 6 I've ever stayed in with an attached restaurant, which is not mentioned in any of the ads for the hotel, and indeed it's almost invisible -- no signs from the road, didn't notice it until after we checked in. The Castle Cafe is truly a rare find: inexpensive, surprisingly good food, just about the best restaurant bargain in the area, and open 7 am to 11 pm (out of season!). Its proximity was welcome when we had heavy rain one night.
Highly recommended -- I'd stay there again.

How many young boys ago was 2001?
That's when Penn State president Graham Spanier and top administrators determined it wouldn't be "humane" to report Jerry Sandusky to authorities.
Yes, spare the coach, shatter the child.
The decision was made after a university football assistant, a highly credible witness, said he saw the football coach showering with a boy, no older than 12, late at night in a university locker room and reported the incident to his superiors.
This was the Penn State Humane Society, as a website dubbed university officials' actions, or tragic lack thereof.
Investigators uncovered e-mails, which were reported Monday, by Spanier and now-suspended athletic director Timothy Curley and former vice president Gary Schultz suggesting that the "humane" treatment of Sandusky was to not inform law enforcement. For his charity, Spanier faces possible indictment by the state attorney general.

Whitman County Sheriff Brett Myers said the burglary was reported north of Colfax on June 22nd. Myers said about a thousand-dollars worth of property was stolen, including a gun, stereo equipment, and golf clubs. Myers said days later, the victim found a couple ads on Craigslist that matched the description of the stolen goods.
The online ad led investigators to the home of 44-year-old Walter Lander, and deputies were able to locate some of the stolen items. Myers said Lander was arrested and he's still at the Whitman County Jail facing charges of first degree burglary, possession of stolen property, theft of a firearm, and felon in possession of a firearm.

Hallmark Channel Original Movie 'The Wishing Tree' Attracts Nearly 3.9 Million Total Viewers & Garners a 2.3 Household Rating
via press release:
Ranks as Hallmark Channel's Highest Original Movie of the Year
Among Households, W25-54, A25-54, and Total Viewers
#1 Cable Network Among W25-54 Rating For The Weekend and #1 Among Households in Primetime for Saturday
On the heels on last week's resoundingly successful "Countdown to Holiday Preview Weekend", nearly 3.9 million unduplicated viewers tuned in to watch wishes come true in the Saturday, November 10th world premiere of Hallmark Channel original movie, "The Wishing Tree," garnering a 2.3 household rating. Continuing the trend of record breaking holiday ratings, "The Wishing Tree" becomes Hallmark Channel's highest rated original movie of the year among households, women 25-54, adult 25-54, and total viewers. For the weekend (Sat-Sun, 6am-6am), Hallmark Channel ranked as the #1 cable network among women 25-54 with a .7 rating and also positioned the channel as the #1 cable network for Saturday in primetime among household rating.
The Saturday evening telecast of "The Wishing Tree", part of Hallmark Channel's highest rated week of 2012, was the #1 rated ad-supported cable movie of the day and the #2 movie of the week among the key demo of women 25-54. In addition, the film was the #1 ad-supported cable movie of the week and ranked #1 in HH (2.3 rtg), #2 in W25-54 (1.1 rtg), and #2 in P2+ (1.2 rtg) in key demo ratings for the 8pm-10pm time period. "The Wishing Tree" also placed in the top 10 for household and key demo impressions, including #2 in HH (2,006,000), #3 in W25-54 (511,000), and #3 in P2+ (2,546,000). The original movie boosted Hallmark Channel to be the #1 rated cable network for the entire day among W25-54 (.6 HH rtg).
In "The Wishing Tree", a young English professor (Gedrick) at a prestigious boarding school, struggling to move on after the death of his wife, agrees to teach several "orphan" students who have nowhere to go for the holidays. Professor Evan Farnsworth quickly runs into a challenge when privileged bad boy Drew (Harmon) decides to take out his anger on the neighboring town's ancient Wishing Tree, a bare tree decorated with handwritten notes containing the townspeople's greatest holiday wishes. Using the Wishing Tree, the professor is able to bring everyone together and find renewed hope when he helps turn Drew's troubled life around. The movie stars Jason Gedrick ("Luck," "Necessary Roughness"), Richard Harmon ("The Killing"), Teryl Rothery ("Hellcats"), and Erica Cerra ("Eureka").
