Dirty water, broken furniture, cats!
Those are some of the living conditions that greeted people at their hotel when they arrived in Sochi.
"People call up saying they want a 5-star hotel and we say, 'They don't exist!'"
Melinda Pitsaros works for a local travel agency and as she tries to accommodate her guests, she wants them to have realistic expectations.
"You're not staying in a Marriott or Hilton. You will be in a bed & breakfast type home or hotel in a small village in Russia."
The Vinogradsky's are familiar with the area but even they were surprised by the hotel horror stories they heard,
"It was cold; people were wearing hats, gloves, jackets, everything."
They said their hotel wasn't perfect, but at least it had running water and electricity.
"Everything works really, it's kind of simple but that's fine."
As those pictures picked up hits on social media sites, people started asking what the NewsChannel 34 room is like. It is perfectly normal. Nothing really out of the ordinary. The water is clear, but we were advised not to drink it.

Thao Confronts Critic In Hilarious New Video
Originally published on Tue January 29, 2013 11:42 am
Thao Nguyen of Thao & The Get Down Stay Down wants you to know she really doesn't care what critics say about her music. But in a comical new video to spoof her band's latest album, We The Common, the singer decides that one writer has gone too far.
The video, "Art Of My Loins," is the second in a series of short films Thao and director Lauren Tabak are releasing as a web series to promote We The Common called Behind The Making Of The Making Of How It Was Made. Thao says she "wanted to offer a behind the scenes look at the making and release of this record," but says she "wanted it to be entertaining. The best way to do that was to make merciless fun of myself. This series also marks my return to acting, which I left in high school after I had that one line in that play."
You can see the first online episode for Behind The Making, called "The Hand Of God," on Thao's web site. And you can hear the entire new album We The Common now in our First Listen series.

text: Mario Solis-Marich: The folks in charge of Democratic political strategies decided last year that immigration should not be a topic in this year's fall elections. The head in the sand strategy was so pervasively accepted that Democratic controlled state legislatures like Colorado dumped key immigration agenda items in an ill-fated attempt to mute the debate and top Presidential advisors encouraged postponement of immigration reform. As it turns out you can't easily quiet 14 million families and their friends.

The rainy weather is welcomed in the parched parts of Brazos Valley, but road conditions due to the wet weather don't get the same reception.
"It's wet, and you can't take those chances," said Willie McMurray who knows about the dangers of driving on wet highways.
His truck was hit when another driver lost control. Now he's extra cautious.
"On my car lengths, on a normal day I probably give two car lengths, but on a wet day like this maybe 3 or 3.5 car lengths. I just drive defensively because you never know what the other driver is doing," said McMurray.
The Texas Department of Transportation says flooding is the leading cause of weather-related crashes in Texas.
"There's oil and moisture and things that get onto the roadway, and your traction is not as good as it is on dry pavement. That's the reason we ask people to please slow down and allow a little extra time wherever you are going," said Bob Colwell, with TXDOT.
Using cruise control should not be an option when driving on the highway when it's raining according to TXDOT because it's harder to slow down or take control of your vehicle incase it skids.
"You never know what's going to happen so just take your time out here and be safe," said McMurray.
TXDOT advises drivers to visit their website to find up to date road conditions so you can map out the safest route to your destination.

Indiana was voted No. 1 in USA Today's Preseason Coaches' Poll, which was released Wednesday. The Hoosiers are one of three Big Ten teams in the top five and five in the Top 25, the most of any conference.
The Hoosiers were followed in the top five by Louisville, Kentucky, Ohio State and Michigan.
Indiana returns its top five scorers from last season, including preseason All-America candidate Cody Zeller.
real iu fan #1
Well deserved.To bad RMK can't stay out of the limelight as well as Trey Lyles' Dad.I also believe that J.Lyle is simply playing games- he is a lock for UK. Barring a major injury, IU is the best team this year.
real iu fan #2
VCU and Minnesota are way underrated.Both are legitimate top 20-25 teams.
Podunker #3
Fun and very exciting for all Hoosiers, signifying that others recognize our incredible progress after years of struggle. Crean and all the players he has brought to IU should enjoy this and feel very proud of their collective accomplishment. But aside from the buzz that they create, pre-season rankings are meaningless. I hope it pumps the team up but does not go to the young players' heads. In fact, I hope the primary thing they take from this ranking is that the bullseye on their backs just got bigger.
The time to get really excited will be after IU runs the table in non-conference games and then beats OSU, Wisconsin and Michigan on their home courts this year. I think they can.
real iu fan #4
IU cannot beat Wisconsin on their home court this season.WE are not that good.We only play them at home.
Harvard for Hillbillies #5
We won't go undefeated, folks…And we won't run the table on the road against some of the other top teams from the conference. Even lowlife Purdue will give us all we can handle in Lafayette.
This should in no way dampen your level of excitement. We will be very tough to beat in the tournament. Keep your excitement through all the ups and downs.
Podunker #6
real iu fan; you know, I realized that just after clicking the "submit comment" tab.
HforH; since no team has gone undefeated since the 75 – 76 Hoosiers, I think your prediction is a safe bet. My guess is that IU will lose a road game against a team everyone expects them to beat. Maybe MN or MSU in February. UNC is certainly not a given, but since the atmosphere inside Assembly Hall will be electric, I'm betting IU defeats the Tar Heels in a tough game.
Is it too early to begin posting predictions of IU's record for the 2012/2013 season?
Harvard for Hillbillies #7
Predictions now will only involve quelling what most believe to be very few losses.
Hardly compares to the joy I felt in identifying how quickly the Hoosiers would be back on the stage last season when all the experts were predicting NIT and 15 or 15 wins nearly out of the realm of likelihood.
Predicting negative results on a season with so much positive anticipation seems a bit defeating.
I may find more satisfaction in searching for a dark horse or undervalued player to make a bigger impact than anticipated. Not many of those on this year's Hoosier squad…I'll stick with Remy. Remy is my prediction for a kid that will continue to surprise and find his way onto the court.
Ron #8
Per an interview I read today, Callipari's big goal before he retires is to win 40 games in a yr….Speaking of the 75/76 Hoosier team…
Looking at his recruits for next yr, would guess they have a chance anyway
OK, they were a power under Fulmer, as I said, and they were a power 5 [...]
Sorry, five consecutive losing seasons until 2014, when they finished [...]
Chet, I think you need to bone up on your Tennessee football history. [...]

Woman, 75, dies Wednesday evening after being hit by car near Bingo hall
CORPUS CHRISTI - A 75-year-old woman was fatally struck by a vehicle on Ayers Street near a Bingo parlor Wednesday evening, police officials said.
Police believe the woman, whose name was not released, was either walking to or from the Arcadia Shopping Center's Bingo hall and likely lives in a nearby neighborhood.
Police spokesman Senior Officer Kirk Stowers said a 51-year-old man was the sole occupant of the 2003 Ford Taurus that hit the woman about 6:20 p.m. He was traveling south on Ayers and was not injured.
The woman had crossed the street past the traffic light at Roosevelt Drive, outside a crosswalk, police said. The driver was not cited.
"Since she did not use a crosswalk, of course the motorist did not expect a pedestrian to be in the street there," Stowers said. "Our message to the public is to be mindful that people, animals or any kind of an obstacle can go in the roadway where you least expect it."
Stowers added that pedestrians should assume that at nighttime motorists can't see them and should take appropriate precautions.
"We want everyone to get to their destination safely," Stowers said. "This is a tragedy that we hate to work. Our thoughts are with everyone that's affected by this crash."
Distraught neighbors walking over from Roosevelt Drive screamed and wept as officers directed traffic. Two men who were relatives of the woman also were at the location talking with authorities. About 60 people gathered outside the La Armada apartments and Fiesta Latina, where police cordoned off the crash site and took care to shield the body from onlookers.

A Florida developer who pleaded guilty Friday to participating in a kickback scheme at South Carolina State University succumbed to a pervasive culture of corruption at a school where payoffs were "the cost of doing business," his attorney said.
Lawyer Andy Savage described 44-year-old Richard Zahn as an honest and successful businessman who was unprepared for the level of corruption foisted upon him when he tried to sell land he owns in Orangeburg County to the historically black college in 2011.
Savage said the extent of corruption at the school will become clearer as U.S. Attorney for South Carolina Bill Nettles rolls out his full case on S.C. State. So far, two former S.C. State officials and a Greer businessman have been implicated in the probe, in addition to Zahn.
"It's a terrible indictment of public employees, public officials and people who hold the public trust," Savage said. "And it goes way beyond the borders of that campus."
Nancy Wicker, chief of the U. S. Attorney's Office criminal division, declined to comment on the possibility of additional indictments after Friday's hearing.
But in a possible indicator of the breadth of the probe, a plea agreement for Zahn indicates federal prosecutors in Georgia and Florida have also agreed to forgo additional charges against the developer if he continues to cooperate with authorities and meets other conditions.
Wearing a blue suit and a beard, Zahn pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the U.S. government, a charge that carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The plea agreement indicates that prosecutors will recommend a sentence of three years' probation for Zahn if, among other things, he fully cooperates with the government, submits to a polygraph test, agrees to testify in the case, stays out of trouble and contributes to a scholarship fund for S.C. State students.
A judge will sentence Zahn at a later date.
Zahn said little during the hearing beyond answering Chief U.S. District Judge David C. Norton's questions about his understanding of the plea. When Norton asked if he was satisfied with the representation he had received from his attorneys, Zahn nodded.
"I wish there had been a different result, but they did everything I've asked them to do," he said.
Norton released Zahn on a personal recognizance bond. He left the courthouse and climbed into a waiting black Chevy Suburban without speaking with reporters.
Zahn, head of Longwood, Fla.-based ZMG Construction, is accused of conspiring on the land deal with former S.C. State Police Chief Michael Bartley and the university's former board chairman, Jonathan Pinson.
Bartley pleaded guilty in the case last month and is said to be cooperating with investigators, while Pinson has pleaded not guilty to all counts of the indictment against him.
Prosecutors have said Zahn was looking to unload a 121-acre spread known as Sportsman's Retreat that he owns along Wild Hearts Road in the Orangeburg County town of Cameron. It has been on the market for $3.2 million, and the site was pitched to school officials as a possible site for a conference center and a university retreat, authorities said.
Zahn set a price of $2.8 million for the land, and Pinson and Bartley were allegedly tasked with convincing the school to buy the property, according to court documents. In return for his help, Pinson was to get a $110,000 Porsche Cayenne, while Bartley stood to receive a new all-terrain vehicle and $30,000 in cash, authorities said.
Prosecutors have described Bartley as a friend of Zahn and Pinson as a business associate of the developer. Pinson and Zahn were said to be involved in unspecified business ventures in Columbia and Atlanta that also included Greer businessman Eric Robinson, who has been indicted with Pinson in another alleged kickback scheme.
Savage said Zahn entered into the Orangeburg County land deal with the intent of helping the university, only to be pressured into forking over kickbacks in return.
"If you wanted to do business there, it was expected because it was the culture of the community there," Savage said. "It was pervasive there that there would be some type of remuneration if the deal went through — any deal."
Federal investigators uncovered the scheme through a wiretap on Pinson's cell phone, Wicker said. They intercepted some 20 phone calls that implicated the three men, she said.
In October 2011, S.C. State board members gave conditional approval to the land purchase, Wicker said. But Zahn withdrew from the agreement after he was approached by the FBI, she said.
Savage said Zahn regrets his participation in the episode and has fully cooperated with investigators from the outset in an effort to make things right.

Florida developer Richard Zahn entered a guilty plea in federal court Friday morning in Charleston in connection with an alleged scheme to sell property he owns to S.C. State University in exchange for payoffs.×

Labor of love: Oscar-nominated director Michael Haneke opens up about 'Amour'
In a conversation at Cannes, Austrian director explains what he wants viewers to experience, and why he decided to bring together two of France's greatest actors in the twilight of their careers.
Text size
It was with slight trepidation that I arrived for my first-ever meeting with Austrian director Michael Haneke at the Cannes Film Festival last May. Haneke is responsible for some of the most jolting cinema of our time. His films are often suffused with cruelty and an icy atmosphere, and I wondered whether the director himself would project the same severity that characterizes his cinematic world.

The Legislature has spent a good bit of energy this 2013 session avoiding stuff that might get them sued, so sensitive are they to being left paying the other guy's legal bills when they lose.
Among the examples:
- They deliberately dragged their feet on a bill that would require labeling of food that contains genetically modified organisms.
- They mostly kept an arm's length from the oft-suing Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant.
- In the Senate, members walked carefully around enacting limits on campaign contributions that might run afoul of court rulings, making them contingent on the outcome of two pending court cases.
So it is with some surprise that we now see the House is about to consider its version of the campaign finance bill with a provision that likely would have them running head-long into a lawsuit. And they're doing it on purpose.
The bill, S.82, is up for debate Tuesday and Wednesday on the House floor. The bill sets a variety of limits on how much candidates may receive in contributions and requires them to report those contributions more frequently, as the Senate version of the bill also did. Much of it is fine and worthy.
The tender portion of this version is an attempt to cap how much you can give to a political action committee at $5,000 per election cycle, which would include the so-called "super PACs." The U.S. Supreme Court has sent clear – if unpopular – signals that super PACs, because they act independent of a candidate, are subject to fewer restrictions.
Attorney General Bill Sorrell said his office advised legislators that trying to limit what super PACs can do is constitutionally risky, and would be given more clarity when a couple of pending court cases are solved elsewhere. "
We didn't say, 'Don't do this,' but we said there is risk," Sorrell said.
You might recall Sorrell's own aversion to lawsuit risk was heightened during the 2012 election when he was blamed for losing campaign finance, Vermont Yankee and other lawsuits against the state.
Members of the House Government Operations Committee said they know the measure would be challenged, but they don't care.
"We can't legislate in fear," said committee Vice Chairwoman Debbie Evans, D-Essex.
She and fellow committee members argue that PACs could soon control Vermont elections.
"A few with a lot of money control our elections," said Rep. Linda Martin, D-Wolcott.
"That's what scares us," Evans said.
The committee also decided to put no limits on how much political parties can give to a candidate. The two moves together are designed to strengthen the parties over the PACs, said committee Chairwoman Donna Sweaney, D-Windsor.
"We were told there's a risk we would lose our parties and just have PACs," Evans said.
House Speaker Shap Smith, D-Morristown, went to bat for the move last week. "My view of the world is that our constituents are sick of secret political action committees spending money to influence decisions we were sent here to address. If courts want to say we can't do that then maybe we should change the Constitution or the membership of the court," he said.
Where does this ire come from? Regular followers of Vermont elections will recall that in 2012, the PAC Vermonters First spent $1 million trying to persuade voters to elect more conservative Republican candidates over more liberal Democrats to the Legislature and other offices. It didn't work very well, but some of those Democrats haven't forgotten what it felt like – and continues to feel like – to be targeted. Vermonters First recently sent out a mailing urging voters in certain districts to complain about tax proposals to their legislator.
Rep. Chris Pearson, P- Burlington, said that power behind that spending weighs heavily on legislators, even though Vermonters First failed famously in its efforts in the 2012 election. "
It's on their minds," he said of those receiving postcards this session generated by Vermonter First over tax proposals. "It colors your approach."
Among those who don't think highly of limiting how much money goes to PACs is Vermonters First.
"This has very little to do with reform and everything to do with trying to limit and suppress those who have different and opposing views on issues. Their goal here is to remove any voices they see out there that may force debate on critical issues," said Tayt Brooks, treasurer of the PAC.
The committee's moves are surprising even those who'd like to see PACs like Vermonters First shut down.
Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, supports constraints on super PACs, but said he was surprised to see the House go for limiting contributions to them, knowing that the Senate had specifically expressed aversion to the risk of lawsuit in its version of the bill.
Burns wants to see a campaign finance bill pass, and is wondering if this provision will poison the whole bill for the Senate, meaning there might not be a campaign finance bill at all this year. It is hard to imagine the two chambers coming to an agreement on the bill with less than a week to go in the legislative session.
Sure enough, Monday afternoon, Sweaney sat down next to Senate Government Operations Committee Chairwoman Jeanette White, D-Windham, outside the Statehouse cafeteria. The two chambers might not be able to agree on a bill, they said. Passing it next year would be problematic, too, White said, because it's an election year and election spending will already be underway.
So, in other words, the House is making this stand against PACs, comfortable in the knowledge that it has little chance of going anywhere.
A few short weeks ago, Smith, the House speaker, characterized the campaign finance bill as one that wasn't a must-pass. He didn't say then it wouldn't be used to make a statement of some kind.
As for the measure that would allow political parties to give unlimited amounts to candidates, that's not going over well either.
That is bound to strengthen the more powerful and well-off Democrats, but not do much for Progressives, Pearson noted. "Parties don't do a better job of representing Vermonters than PACs," Pearson said. "There is to me some very flawed thinking behind what the committee's trying to do."
Bob Stannard, a former state representative who started a PAC to rail against PACs, said he supports the attempt to limit contributions to PACs, regardless of lawsuit threats, but not unlimited contributions from parties. "You're just throwing more gas on the fire," he said. "We should be trying to get money out of politics."

Welp, back again after another hiatus. Gotta say; after listening to my relatively bass-light DiY projects, going back to my Q40 was a huge shock.
Nope, no offense taken. I understand your stand point and respect it. No harm done.

I enjoy Jos Banks suits, just about all I wear anymore. They seem to be good quality, fit well, and the occassional time that I've had a problem customer service has been very responsive.I purchase most of my suits online, I am an odd size so most stores don't carry many suits my size. It is sometimes difficult to evaluate the color(s) of suits online.

Sure, The Alley has retro bowling: eight memory lanes of reclaimed hardwood. And sure, there's the bar and vintage arcade, the colors and art stylishly aligned to the theme.
If you go
What: Home Team Kitchen at The Alley
Where: 131 Columbus St.
Hours: 11 a.m.-2 a.m. daily
Phone: 818-4080 or thealleycharleston.com
But as for the food, The Alley obliges with more than throwback fare, accounting for another shrewd move from operating partners Jimmy Poole and David Crowley.
The pair partnered with the fellas behind Fiery Ron's Home Team BBQ to dream up a snazzy new kitchen, the Home Team Kitchen, for contemporary tastes.
Points to Home Team chieftains Aaron Siegel and Taylor Garrigan for crafting a menu chock-a-block with hearty dishes, including: green chili nachos ($9.95), French bread pizzas ($9.95-$10.95), braised pork belly ($9.95), burgers with house-cured bacon ($8.95) and a top-notch baked chicken sandwich with homemade gravy and Swiss cheese.
Call in the support team (a fork and knife) to take on the last one, a gooey, delicious treat.
But where The Alley and Home Team Kitchen really excel (besides their famous dry-rubbed and wet wings) relates to the Italian menu offerings.
The kitchen pieces together crisp, sauteed greens with slices of garlic cloves, and an addictive Italian sandwich ($9.95) that profits from mozzarella, a layering of artichokes, and a rustic pesto sauce of basil and olive oil.
Honestly, between the greens, Italian sandwich and meatballs, it wouldn't be far-fetched for Fiery Ron to consider opening up an American-Italian version of Home Team.
It's a fine arrangement, all told, allowing a pair of strong partners, The Alley and Home Team Kitchen, to roll out a killer combination of food and fun.

continued Teacher Barb Peria used the concert as an opportunity to discuss the civil rights movement with her students.
"We started out with talking about civil rights, as Guy's recent shows were involved with storytelling in that realm," Peria said. "We read 'The Watsons Go to Birmingham 1963' and viewed parts of the Spike Lee documentary 'Four Little Girls,' about the notorious racial bombing of an African American church during the civil rights movement.
"The sixth graders have also viewed Guy's interview on MSG in New York and in our investigation of the biography genre have read Guy Davis' 'The Routes of Blues'," she added. "The students are very excited about this storytelling genre in Blues music as many of them have never been exposed to it.
"To wrap it all up students visited one of Guy's favorite websites, tolerance.org, which is a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center that focuses on teaching diversity, equality and respect in school and in our everyday lives" Peria said. "Students will use this and other websites to collect information for research projects on tolerance, diversity, and other current issues in the news."
Money for the concert came from the Box Tops for Education program that Ti parents and teachers have participated in.
Davis is the son of actors/writers Ruby Dee and the late Ossie Davis. A musician, composer, actor, director, writer and bluesman, he has appeared on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" and other national programs. He had a role in the television series "One Life to Live" and has acted on and off Broadway.
Throughout his career, Davis has dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of acoustic Blues.
Davis has done residency programs for the Lincoln Center Institute, the Kennedy Center and the State Theatre in New Jersey and works with "Young Audiences of NJ," doing classroom workshops and assembly programs all across the country and in Canada for elementary, high school and college students.

FSU AD Stan Wilcox helped Cutcliffe build Duke program
Stan Wilcox parted Duke with a challenge.
Tonight, his prophecy will play out with the ACC championship at stake.
Last August, Florida State hired Wilcox as its athletics director, plucking him off the staff at Duke where he was a senior deputy director of athletics.
Wilcox's duties at Duke included oversight of the football program and, since 2008, he and Duke coach David Cutcliffe had worked hand-in-hand to change the Blue Devils' football fortunes.
Before he left Duke for Tallahassee, Fla., Wilcox issued a challenge to the Blue Devils.
"I said do one thing for me," Wilcox said Friday. "I put the challenge out there to them. Make it to the ACC championship game in Charlotte because we are going to be there."
Tonight at Bank of America Stadium, the team that Wilcox helped build meets the team he now oversees when No. 20 Duke faces No. 1 Florida State.
Even though Wilcox has been gone for four months, his contributions to Duke haven't been forgotten.
"When you work with special people — and Stan is special — you're not going to break the bond of the friendship we've formed," Cutcliffe said. "And I would say that even as the Director of Athletics at Florida State, Stan has to feel some form of a sense of pride with these young men at Duke that he has relationships with and he's happy for them. We all know who he's for in the ballgame, including me, I'm not kidding myself. But I think it's a special circumstance because our players are very, very fond of Stan Wilcox."
After Duke played in a bowl game last year for the first time in 18 years, Wilcox thought the Blue Devils were headed back to a bowl this season. But seeing Duke set the school-record for wins while compiling a 10-2 record is extraordinary for everyone.
"It's amazing to see the kids that I knew and helped recruit there mature and become great players and buy into the program that Coach Cutcliffe put together there," Wilcox said. "They all executed very well. They are very confident as you see them now. If you would have looked at them five years ago to now, it's like night and day."
Even in his new job at Florida State, Wilcox kept close tabs on the Blue Devils. In the athletic director's suite at Florida State games, Wilcox and his wife would also watch Duke play on their iPads and iPhones.
"I put them on in my box while we were watching FSU," Wilcox said. "We would see how Duke was doing. It's obviously a great year for them."
Back in his hometown, Duke's Kelby Brown feels at home at Bank of America Stadium.
His grandparents were original Personal Seat License (PSL) owners who helped Charlotte land the NFL franchise 20 years ago. Their names are engraved on bricks in front of the stadium along with other PSL owners.
On Friday, in addition to all that, one of the stars of this year's successful Panthers team made a point to find Brown for a chat.
Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly, a former Boston College star, and Brown spent some time talking together while Duke's players visited the stadium.
"It's cool because he knew who I was," Brown said. "I've been watching him for years and now he's on my favorite team. He remembers watching me on film. In ACC, you watch the other schools (on film). So I saw him on defense and he saw me on defense while he was preparing for other offenses. He's just a real friendly guy."
An All-ACC linebacker himself Brown said they didn't even talk much football, more about life stuff. But they could get together in the offseason when Brown returns to Charlotte.
"This spring I'm going to try to get together with him maybe," Brown said. "Maybe he can give me some pointers about what it takes. I can model my game a little bit after how he plays. Similar style of football. That was a real cool experience meeting a guy that I've looked up to."

Woodley, an All American wrestler in 2003 and 2005 for the Missouri Tigers, lasted competed in November 2009 where he submitted Rudy Bears (10-4) at Strikeforce Challengers V. All six of Woodley's professional victories have come via submission.
Strikeforce Challengers VIII takes place on May 21st at the Rose Garden arena in Portland, Oregon and will air live on Showtime.
Coy, former Oregon State wrestler, has one of the more impressive resumes of any fighter on the local MMA scene with key wins over current UFC fighters Mike Pierce and Rick Story standing alongside a close spilt decision loss to Paul Bradley.
The 31 year old out of Team Quest last saw cage action in March where he headlined a local Sportfight card versus Travis Bush (4-2-1). Coy put on his most impressive striking performance to date, knocking out Bush a mere 16 seconds into the opening round.
Balancing his training camps between San Jose's famed American Kickboxing Academy and St. Charles BJJ in Missouri, Woodley has earned in the distinction as one of the top prospects in all of MMA. Fighting through the hype, Woodley was the inaugural recipient of the ULTMMA prospect of the year award for 2009.

Sheriff Joe: 'Tons' more shocking Obama info
Sheriff Joe: 'Tons' more shocking Obama info
Rips 'biggest censorship blackout in the history of the United States'
"America's toughest sheriff" says there is "tons" more potentially shocking
information on Barack Obama in connection with his probe into the
president's eligibility, and he calls the media's suppression of his
findings of a likely forged presidential birth certificate and Selective
Service Card "probably the biggest censorship blackout in the history of the
United States."
"I'm not going after the president to keep him off a ballot or anything else, but that could happen," Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio said. "I'm going at it strictly as a law-enforcement guy investigating a possible forgery and fraud. I'm sticking with that, but I'll tell you one thing. We got tons of other information that could be very shocking, too, but I'm sticking now with just the [forgery] investigation and possible criminal violations."
The lawman from Maricopa County made the comments March 16 on a national radio show hosted by Roger Hedgecock. (Scroll down for video.)
Join the Cold Case Posse right now!
As WND reported March 1, Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse
announced there is probable cause indicating the documents released by the
White House last April purported to be Obama's original, long-form birth
certificate and Selective Service registration card are actually forgeries.
Obama's fraud. Join the Cold Case Posse right now!
WND recently reported that Arpaio is seeking Obama's original registration card from Selective Service.
Sheriff's investigators were able to replicate the alleged forgery by obtaining a circa 1980 pica stamp and a circa "2008" date plug. Investigators were able to clearly demonstrate the "80" (which should have actually read 1980) in Obama's Selective Service Registration form resulted from cutting out the "08" from an authentic "2008" date plug, and inverting the "08" to read "80" when the cut plug was loaded into the year slot on the 1980 pica stamp.
Meanwhile, although Arpaio did not focus on Obama's Social Security Number at his news conference, WND has also reported the president may be using a fraudulent number, another important piece of information the national news media continue to suppress.
The Arpaio findings are not the only items the media are refusing to cover. As WND reported, a full-blown cover-up appears to be taking place in connection with WND's disclosure about a retired U.S. postman who has signed a sworn affidavit suggesting Obama was a foreign-born student who was receiving financial help to go to Harvard from the parents of domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.
See excerpts of WND's interviews with mailman Allen Hulton:
Arpaio's Cold Case Posse began its investigation in August after 250 members of the Surprise, Ariz., Tea Party, presented a signed petition asking him to undertake the investigation. The tea partiers indicated if a forged birth certificate had been used to place Obama on the 2012 Arizona presidential ballot, their rights as Maricopa County voters could be compromised.
NOTE: In case you missed the news conference of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's "Cold Case Posse," you can view it here.
Then last December, Obama's Justice Department held its own news conference to claim Arpaio's office committed civil-rights violations against Hispanics, including racial profiling and heavy-handed immigration patrols based on racially charged complaints.
When asked about that during last Friday's radio show, Arpaio said, "They want to control my organization, [imposing] monitors and everything else. I'm not gonna go for that. So I guess they'll sue me and we'll go to court and put the real facts out. The real facts that they're going to have to come up with including all their so-called witnesses that they won't identify. They won't give us anything."
I urge you to make a donation to support Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his active investigation right now – no matter the amount. If everyone who reads this appeal gave the minimum amount of $5, it would raise millions, far more than the necessary resources to get the job done and the truth about Obama out.

"Never, never, never let anyone tell you that, in order to be Orthodox, you must also be eastern. The West was Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable liturgy is far older than any of her heresies."
- Blessed St. John Maximovitch of Shanghai and San Francisco
The purpose for presenting this Daily News section:
Daily News is very important to those who are true Orthodox Catholic Christians. For without knowing or gaining information for understanding about what is happening in one's local area and around the world, you could find yourself faced with denied services in the secular area, lack of income, even (although it sounds far-fetched) ability to worship openly for the time is not far off when all will have to decide if they wish to follow the Anti-Christ through the One World Church and One World Government as prophesied by the Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation of St. John or follow the faith delivered once and for all which will cause for many to be denied the abilities to survive under those kind of conditions, causing for one to consider other options.
Many of those who subscribe to, and some who have caused or are the cause for, these things to happen are involved in or with the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church (which is not the seat of all things "Catholic") as well as its protestant daughters such as the cultic Jehovah's Witnesses, the Pentecostal Churches, the Church of Latter Day Saints also known as the Mormon Church and far too many more to list.
Yet, at this web site we do provide some of the reasons about why they are opined to be the harbingers of that which is prophesied in Holy Scripture for the bringing about of the End Times which we have already entered. It is not necessarily their individual members or parishioners that should be blamed since they are only the "Sheep" and not the Shepherds... So do not think we castigate individual people of themselves as we castigate those "money changers" who Jesus Christ chased out of His Father's House as the Bible Describes; for they exist in these present times too.
Events are already rushing toward that time in which this is beginning to happen and will become more fully wide-spread. In these present times all you need to really do is look around both your local and larger areas as to what is really on-going through. Things so very little or miniscule that they are barely noticeable except to the more informed observer may become apparent.
Those little things are the laws of the land, economics, politics, the degrading and erosion of those rights and liberties afforded by the Constitution of these United States of America and many other things such as the manner with which entertainments have taken over much of the populace, entering into and becoming a major focus in worship, and more.
We ask you, if you don't want to believe us... Have you heard, seen or found what is termed (of the many terms being used) that there are "holding areas" or "camps" or "Closed/Fenced communities" being built by GOVERNMENT?
Here in North America, especially in the United States of America, we must admit that what Russia has come out of (a communistic, atheist country) we are entering into. And one last thing that needs also to be understood... Something very important to those of you who are "Catholic" in the Roman sense of its jurisdiction.... And, we believe this also holds true for many who are "Orthodox" whether "Eastern" or "Western"....
[ * Non-Denominational = Synchrestic Ecumenism, Disease of Scholasticism, altering the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ to accommodate the disease of Political Correctness and CULTIC PROTESTANTISM, and the Roman Jurisdiction (Latin Church = Vatican) of the Catholic Church) breaking of - or failure and refusal to respect and abide by - the ancient Seven Ecumenical "Do Not" Canons which leaves everything else open to God's gift of creativity... failure & refusal to abide by and have respect for those who diligently protect one of the other Pillars of the Church, the Seals of the Confessional, but "Non-Denominational" also includes worshiping Satan's religion of Muslim, Islam by praying with them and other heretics such as 'Pentecostalism,' 'Jehovah's Witnesses,' 'Mormons,' 'Church of Christ,' any so-called church with "Community Church" in their nomenclature and others who by their false and misleading dogmas and doctrines are actually against the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ upon whom and for exacting reason we are called "Christian" in both spirit and truth from which non-denominational protestant sectarian claimants have departed from as being so-called Christian] Only a skilled spiritual father can help you!
Remember: You cannot ride two horses or serve two masters for one of them will be harmed by your thoughts, your very words and your actions which is to blaspheme the Holy Ghost (Spirit) who will depart from you. And when the Holy Spirit departs, the great deceiver (unbeknownst to you) will rush in to fill the void under disguise of being the Holy Spirit! Testing of the Holy Spirit to insure it is the Holy Spirit does not, for many a Sectarian Protestant and Roman, work because the Great Deceiver (Satan) is most skilled in worming and snaking his charms around your mind and heart to feign being the Holy Spirit. Remember, Satan has the same gifts similar to the Holy Spirit but Satan's gifts are UN-HOLY and lead all who accept him (unbeknownst to you) to perdition.

I am Deadlykris, the former Blizzard MVP forum poster. See Deadlykris for more info. I'm also an admin on this wiki and The Vault.
I no longer play WoW, but as a former MVP I still retain a lot of knowledge about the game, pre-Cataclysm at least, and as a fan of the lore I've read most of the Warcraft novels and consider myself fairly well versed on much of the lore, especially what doesn't rely on a knowledge of the previous games in the series. I've watched most of the Warcraft III cinematics on Youtube as well.
Here are my characters as of when I quit the game; note that some of them will show up as unavailable due to dormancy. They all would, except that a friend sent a Scroll of Resurrection a while back so I popped in to see what was up, and quickly decided that I still didn't want to play.
As Level 80 Gnome Death Knight (first 80)
Dibella Level 80 Night Elf Druid (first character, first 60)
Darlene Level 80 Draenei Paladin (first 70, faction changed from Horde on Oct 25 2009, transferred from Doomhammer the same day and name changed from Deadlykris)
Nightmaiden Troll Rogue (first Horde 60)
