He said: "The reason that I've been really quiet as far as my (TNA) contract goes, the people that really don't know, really don't know. The only person that knows is me. I do have plans to return very soon and wrestle on TV, and it won't be with any (independent) promotions. I will be wrestling with either TNA or WWE very soon."
Maria Kanellis said that she will "eventually part ways" with Ring of Honor, and said she hopes to return to WWE with her fiancee Mike Bennett.
She said: "I want to go back to WWE, and maybe Mike will come with me."
She also commented on the Old School vs New School Divas match at WrestleMania that never happened.
She added: "I was one of the girls that they called. We were fine on all the details. I've owned my name since I was a little girl, so that wasn't a problem for me. WWE was totally cool with everything, but the storyline just fell through; I was excited about it."

LA gun buyback collects more than 2,000 weapons
Thursday - 12/27/2012, 1:57pm EST
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A one-day gun buyback program in Los Angeles brought in 2,037 firearms.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's office says the weapons collected Wednesday included 901 handguns, 698 rifles, 363 shotguns and 75 assault weapons.
Long lines of cars and people showed up at two locations to exchange their weapons for supermarket gift cards of various values ranging up to $200 depending on the type of gun.
The buyback is usually held in May but was moved up in response to the Dec. 14 massacre of students and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

South Africa's government has called for the country's top athletics official to be fired for lying about gender tests done on runner Caster Semenya.
Athletics South Africa President Leonard Chuene admitted he lied when denying any tests on Semenya's gender had been done in the country, but said he did so to protect the runner's privacy.
Deputy Sports Minister Gert Oosthuizen said in a statement that Chuene's denials were not in Semenya's interest but to the detriment of the women's 800-meter world champion, whose gender is being investigated.

The pictures do not do this property justice. Clean, relaxing, indulgent, and perfect! Martin is the perfect host and caretaker and the owners are responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay at Villas Escondrijo again!

4.9 based on 15 traveler reviews
Awesome Sunsets
The villas are very well kept and the location is beautiful. Jim and Yvonne were very nice and friendly couple.
They will guide you to as to what to do while you are there and even help you in bookings for different activities that you might like to venture into. The pools are well kept and very clean. The sunsets are awesome from here.
Make sure to enjoy early mornings out on the terrace. You can hear birds chirping, monkeys on the trees, butterflies around you and lush green foliage.
We will surely go back again.
Wonderful Setting, Comfortable Home
As close to heaven as you can get
An Absolute Paradise
March, 2011 was our new manager's (Martin) first month, and being new, wasn't sure about that "fine line" between giving guests their privacy, and seeing to their needs. We have received great comments about him from recent guests!
Being a "rental home" we can not offer some of the services of a Hotel, such as airport pick up, or cooked meals, instead, we provide a true "Costa Rica" experiance that you will not get staying in a hotel.
Costa Rica Paradise
After an easy 3 hour drive from San Jose, we met Martin at the Roca Verde (excellent beach location & food) for the short but steep climb to the villas. He introduced us to the amenities and the general layout. Martin proved to be very helpful yet unobtrusive. His recommendations for local activities were excellent.
The villas themselves are immaculate, clean, and remarkably well stocked with basic provisions: coffee, barbecue, pool, laundry etc. There is a television, but I don't know if it works; too much other stuff to even care! The kitchen is small, well-equipped and very useful. Shop at the local mercadito for basics, travel 10 kilometers south for a larger and better stocked store with an actual meat counter.
Dominical is a funky and fun place to surf, drink, and hang. Try the seared tuna (tuesdays) at Tortilla Flats, very tasty if a bit more touristy than the local Sodas.
Highlights of our stay: the flora and fauna! (Don't forget to have binoculars!) Stunning views from every vantage of the house, frequent visits from Toucans, monkeys, iguanas, and amazing frogs serenading us to sleep every night. We spent time at Hacienda Baru for jungle walks, butterflies and orchids as well as an educational and fun afternoon on the zip-lines. The horseback trip to Nauyaca Falls was outstanding. Great food, and a gorgeous waterfall and swimming hole. Take Eric up on his offer to climb the falls and leap into the pool, you won't regret it.
Overall, this is one of the most fun and beautiful places we have ever visited. The Villas are outstanding! Beautiful and friendly folks wherever we went. Many many activities and lots of time spent just enjoying the house and pool.
Thanks Dean, Jay and Martin for a memorable stay. We can't wait to return. Glowing recommendations to everyone we can share with.

I cut my teeth on my mom's Sensorex (which I later used to document the Taylor Guitar factory for a specialty magazine devoted to musical instrument construction) and I don't think I have ever found a camera easier in the hands. The shutter release in particular -- I can't believe others never copied the front placement!
The lenses were amazing (50/1.8 is the star but she had the 135 and the 28 plus the 55 Macron which I used to shoot models -- cars and spacecraft not people -- where they really popped with this lens and color slide film) with great consistency in color and overall "look" between the different focal lengths. I would love to have Miranda kit again (mom made some problematic choices in her later years and it's gone). I've read many snipes at Miranda build quality over the years, and while it's no F-1, hers withstood a ham-handed teenager plus I dropped a body on a concrete floor from workbench level during the Taylor shoot and it took it.

One of the major differences from high school to college is that "new year" feeling happens twice as often. In high school, you have one day in August where it's your first day of classes, and then in the next week or two you adjust to your teachers and everthing. You don't go through this process again until the next August. In college though, you go through this in August and then again in January.
I absolutely loved having a month at home between semesters. I mean, seriously, that's the greatest thing in the world! But now the second semester of my college career has started, and here's what I think about it:
So first it's super hard to leave home after being with your family for a month. As hard as Andy leaving his toys with Bonnie. (Try to control the sniffles now.)
But then you remember you get to be back with your roommates and other friends, who are all so awesome.
Unfortunately, even the best roommates can get irritating every now and then, especially after a month in your own room.
You've also enjoyed a month of your mom and grandma's cooking at Christmas time. Yum!!
And while there are many schools with worse food than UC, cafeteria and grill food are still not homecooking.
So once you get back in the swing of dorm life and cafeteria food, it's time to start going to class. (Because, you know, that's kind of a main priority of college.)
My first class is Intro to Church History. I found out we have to give a 15-minute presentation in that class.
BUT, it turns out that the class is pretty interesting, and I'm learning all kind of stuff.
Then I go to New Testament, which you'll probably take if you come to UC, so that you can fulfull your 2 religion classes requirements. And it's a whole class about Jesus, so basically all the stuff they never told you in Sunday School, which is geat.
THEN IT'S TIME FOR ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CLASSES!! I strongly recommend Exploring Missions Strategies with Dr. Bob (actually any class with Dr. Bob is a good idea).
The next day I go to American Literature. At first I thought, "Hmmm, I'm just not sure how this class will be." But since the professor's super sweet, I'm sure it will be fine.
Next is Spanish, and after a month of only English, it took my brain a little while to adjust. So, you know, a little confusing at first, but now it's giving me great practice.
Then I have another amazing class called Developing Our Spiritual Life, and while the professor's talking or showing us inspiring videos, I just sit there like this thinking "Whoa, you're so smart."
So I'm SUPER EXCITED about that class and basically all of my classes.
But you don't just go to class in college (or at least you REALLY REALLY SHOULDN'T).
So I'm trying out a couple of Bible study groups, and it's just some quality girl time while we talk about things Jesus is doing in our lives.
And the BCM is having a Winter Breeze semi-formal dance next week!! Not to mention the tickets are super cheap and go to help missions. So dancing, low price, and serving Jesus at the same time?! Except for chocolate and peanut butter, could there be a better combination?
Of course, with all this going on, I'll probably end up like this after a little while.
But that's okay because, all in all, I think this is going to be a pretty great semester at the University of the Cumberlands!!!!!!
So tell me, what are you excited for about this semester??

PR Newswire
IRVING, Texas, May 22, 2013
IRVING, Texas, May 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cash Store has made a financial donation to the Salvation Army DFW Metroplex Command to assist with relief efforts in the aftermath of the tornadoes that recently impacted parts of North Texas, including Hood County where a tornado hit the city of Granbury.
The donation will help support the Salvation Army's relief efforts, which includes the deployment of a mobile emergency kitchen in DeCordova Bend in Hood County near Granbury.

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 11/15/14
MINNEAPOLIS In the final seconds of Wednesday's game, Greg Stiemsma lunged toward the basket, all 260 pounds of him, just in time to block E'Twaun Moore's layup. It was a desperate, last-ditch block, not thundering, hardly powerful, but it did the trick. No, I won't let you within 15, it said, at least not on this possession. No matter how tired I might be. No matter how close to over this game is right now.And so Stiemsma blocked the shot and then lost all momentum. There were 31 irrelevant seconds remaining in the game, which the Timberwolves would go on to win, 90-75, and the backup center mistakenly believed there were far fewer. He paused before realizing that his teammates had shifted to offense, and he used his last energy to join them, trudging back down the court.It was his "home run trot," he said, and he earned every last trudge of it. On Wednesday, the Greg Stiemsma phenomenon went from nascent to very, very real."He's no secret weapon right now," Andrei Kirilenko said....

Map: More Subway Stations Go Wireless
Thursday, May 15, 2014
While mobile device users with AT&T plans have lately lost some underground wireless connectivity, riders with the other big three phone carriers can now log on at more subway stations.
Here's the breakdown of the new service, which was recently completed. If you have a plan with Sprint, T-Mobile or Verizon, you can connect at these stations:
- 34th St. Herald Square – B, D, F, M, Q, N, R
- 42nd St. Bryant Park – 7, B, D, F, M
- Grand Central - 42nd St – S, 4, 5, 6, 7
- 23rd St. – 6
- 28th St. – 6
- 33rd St. – 6
- 23rd St. – F, M
Jared Leavitt, a spokesman for Transit Wireless, the company chosen to set up the system at no cost to the MTA, said AT&T users will have to wait until early June to receive service at the same locations.
For several weeks, users of AT&T devices have been without connectivity in the Chelsea subway stations that first offered wireless service almost three years ago: 14th Street at 8th and 6th Avenues and the C/E stop at West 23rd Street. Leavitt said that's because Transit Wireless is upgrading the original equipment serving AT&T, and that "we're moving some equipment into a Midtown data center." He said AT&T service is scheduled to come back to the Chelsea stations by May 25.
The other three carriers have connectivity at the Chelsea stops. See the map below to find out where you can find wireless in the subway.

But they've decided NOT to wire the tunnels, which is of course when you most want to send a message to someone that the train is delayed and you don't know when you're getting home. But Manhattanites are worried that they'll have to listen to other people's phone conversations. We who live in the outer boroughs where the trains are aboveground seem to manage this just fine. Maybe people in Manhattan are just too thin-skinned to deal with living in a crowded city :)

Important Notice: We purchased and installed this classified ads software because we thought it would be a genuine enhancement to the GT classified ads system. I still believe it is a far better
alternative for a classified ads
section than the forum software, but people just don't seem to agree. I had hoped that people would take to the system and see its benefits after having used it for a while, but that hasn't happened.So, I am going to admit defeat and move the classified ads
section back onto the old message board forums. Posting permissions have been turned off in this software and the old classified ads forums have been reactivated. We will leave this software up through 27 June, 2014, so that people can refer to the old ads. Please
place all new ads in the classified ads forums. They can be found on GT's forums index, below the Armory section. Here is a direct link to that area: The Want Ads
Forums.In the coming weeks, we will be adding some features to the classified ads forums that will make them better suited for that purpose, while keeping the features and functionality of that system that people have shown they want.Please
keep in mind that all forum rules apply to the classified ads threads. Additionally, do not post in someone's ad to haggle or arrange a deal. Please contact them directly to negotiate. Also, if you think you know where someone can get the advertised item cheaper, or
you think the person is charging too much, or you don't like the product or seller, etc..., please keep it to yourself. Posting such things in someone else's classified ad thread is not allowed. If you see anyone violating the posting rules, or know of or suspect
that there is a problem with a post or thread, please report the thread or post. Thanks and enjoy the new/old system.

High levels of taxation are strangling the English wine-growing industry. That's the warning tonight from vineyards in the south east, where more than a quarter of all English wine

For an average bottle of wine, tax accounts for 57% of the price.The tax on spirits is even higher, at 79%.While the figure on a pint of beer is 33%.
But alcohol duty is an important source of revenue for the Government, & doctors say cheaper booze could encourage alcohol abuse. Malcolm Shaw reports

Over seven months after the gangrape of two women including a photojournalist in the abandoned Shakti Mills compound here, five persons were today held guilty by a local court which will pronounce the quantum of punishment tomorrow.
The court convicted the five men for gangrape, criminal conspiracy, common intention, unnatural sex, criminal intimidation, wrongful restraint, assault, destruction of evidence under IPC and other relevant sections of the Information Technology Act.
A total of seven persons including two minors, were arrested in connection with the two gangrapes involving a telephone operator and a photojournalist in July-August 2013.
Three of the accused are common to both the cases.
Principal sessions court judge Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi convicted Vijay Jadhav, 19, Mohammad Qasim Hafiz Shaikh alias Kasim Bengali, 21 and Mohammad Ansari, 28, in both the cases.
while Siraj Khan was found guilty in the photojournalist gangrape case (on August 22) and Mohammad Ashfaque Shaikh, in the telephone operator gangrape case at the same compound on July 31 last year.
Two minors, one in each case, are being tried by the Juvenile Justice Board separately.
Putting forth arguments on the point of sentencing, Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam told the court that the maximum punishment provided for gangrape under Indian Penal Code is life imprisonment and sought the maximum punishment for the accused.
"These accused have a criminal tendency," Nikam told the court.
Later, the case was adjourned till tomorrow for the prosecution and defense to advance arguments on the quantum of sentencing.
Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil, who was present in the court welcomed the verdict
"The cases were tried in fastest possible time and victims have got justice....Hope this verdict will act as a deterrent," he told reporters outside the court.
Nikam said the trial of the two juveniles will begin now as the verdict in the case is out. He also said that the prosecution will seek the maximum sentence provided under the law tomorrow.
Maharashtra ATS chief Himanshu Roy, who had spearheaded the investigation as the crime branch chief, welcomed the verdict.
"I welcome the verdict, but in my personal opinion the age of the juvenile in such brutal crimes should be brought down to 16 as in one of the two cases the juvenile was the most brutal one," Roy told PTI.
Roy also said that the telephone operator case was the most difficult as the victim had approached the police after a month of the incident.
"It became difficult as the case was reported a month later. However, since the Mill was deserted we found our evidence intact. If the location would have been a frequented place then the case would have become worse," he added.
The first case pertains to the gangrape of a 22-year-old magazine photojournalist who had gone to the mill compound in Central Mumbai with a male colleague on an assignment on August 22, 2013.
Five men, (including a juvenile, whose case was separated), were charged with raping her there after assaulting her colleague. They are: Vijay Jadhav, Kasim Bengali, Salim Ansari, Siraj Rehman and a minor.
The other case is of an 18-year-old telephone operator who was gangraped by five persons (including three accused in the first case) in the same premises on July 31, last year.
The accused in this case are: Mohammed Ashfaq Sheikh, Kasim Bengali, Salim Ansari, and Vijay Jadhav.
Vijay Jadhav, Kasim Bengali and Salim Ansari are common accused in both the two cases
The prosecution examined 44 witnesses in the photojournalist's case and 31 in the other case. The defence examined three witnesses in the photojournalist's case and only one witness in the other case.
