The apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood, not so far away from the L-train. The apartment itself is in need of some TLC. The wifi connection was dropping all the time (we bought a wifi-repeater at Bestbuy, that made it more stable).There are some other issues with the apartment, but nothing that seriously. We wouldn't mind staying there another time.
A wonderful flat for a trip to New York. Very near to subway and busses, nice quarter., placed in the middle of NY - very easy to get to all tourist attractions.
Everything was very easy to handle, could left our luggage and had very good and easy contact with Haly.
Thanks a lot to Haly - we can recommend your flat very much.
All very well, the apartment in a fantastic and very lively area. The apartment is very spacious and lovely Halyna. I behaved very well from day one, and we even facilitated a large comfortable car and driver back to the airport for less money than a taxi. To repeat and recommend.
Todo muy bién, el apartamento en una zona fantastica y con mucha vida. El apartamento es muy amplio y Halyna es encantadora. Se porto muy bién desde el primer día, e incluso nos facilito un coche amplio y comodo con chofer para volver al aeropuerto, por menos precio que un taxi. Para repetir y recomendar.
Everything spotless, the owner super helpful, highly recommended
Todo impecable, la dueña super servicial, muy recomendable
I and my two traveling companions (group of 3 friends) were guests of this apartment mel Halyna in November 2014. Unfortunately I jump in mind only three positive aspects of this arrangement:
1) the location in the middle of the east village area young, artistic, eclectic, chock full of shops and local arts and alternative. Metro Stations in less than 10 minutes walk.
2) the comfort of the bed (quite hard - can be of an annotation)
3) The availability of the hostess Halyna, with which everything went smoothly right from the reservation.
Unfortunately there are many painful notes, many of which depend on whether it is an old building in an old quarter. I will list the main ones.
1) The apartment seems left to itself, with several areas without any maintenance and cleaning. The general feeling is that of a clean.
2) heating: often the temperature is too high but there is no way to adjust it. Also the radiators make a tremendous noise when starting, so even at night.
3) the electrical system is poorly developed; I and my fellow passengers have been continually impressed by small but annoying electric shock when touching anything, like taps, equipment connected to the sockets, switches, even the walls!
In general, therefore, the rating is 2 star, the third is for the position. Recommended for those who do not have much expectation, maybe a group of young friends.
Io e i miei 2 compagni di viaggio ( gruppo di 3 amici) siamo stati ospiti di Halyna in questo appartamento mel mese di Novembre 2014. Purtroppo mi saltano in mente solo 3 lati positivi di questa sistemazione:
1)la posizione al centro dell'east village zona giovane, artistica ed eclettica, piena zeppa di locali e negozietti artistici e alternativi. Stazioni metro a meno di 10 minuti a piedi.
2) la comoditá del letto (piuttosto rigido - puó trattarsi di un'annotazione relativa)
3) La disponibilitá della padrona di casa Halyna, con la quale tutto è andato liscio fin dalla prenotazione.
Purtroppo sono molte le note dolenti, molte delle quali dipendono dal fatto che si tratta di un edificio vecchio in un quartiere vecchio. Mi limiterò ad elencare le principali.
1) L'appartamento sembra abbandonato a se stesso, con parecchie zone senza alcuna manutenzione e pulizia. La sensazione generale non è quella di un posto pulito.
2) il riscaldamento: spesso la temperatura è troppo alta ma non c'è modo di regolarla. Inoltre i termosifoni fanno un rumore tremendo quando si avviano, quindi anche di notte.
3) l'impianto elettrico è mal messo; io e i miei compagni di viaggio siamo stati continuamente colpiti da piccoli ma fastidiosi shock elettrici toccando qualsiasi cosa, come rubinetti, apparecchi collegati alle prese, interruttori, persino i muri!
In generale dunque la valutazione è di 2 stelle, la terza è per la posizione. Consigliato a chi non ha molte pretese, magari un gruppo di giovani amici.
Despite a prior exchange by email, text message and whatapps l.'heure on arrival of the flight and RV to the apartment, we waited to 11:40 to 1 am completely tired on the sidewalk and had received a stressées.Nous mail about a security deposit !!!!! but no one was there, the silent phone, email unanswered.
It's starting again look for a taxi and a hotel that we have arrested an old lady ds shop further, it was she who had the keys !!!!
We discussed because the deposit was not ds .A contract nightmare!
Malgré un échange préalable par mail , texto et sur whatapps sur l.'heure d'arrivée du vol puis rv à l'appartement ,nous avons attendu de 11h40 à 1 h du matin sur le trottoir complètement fatiguées et stressées.Nous avions reçu un mail sur une caution à donner !!!!! mais personne n'était là ,le téléphone muet ,mail sans réponse.
C'est en repartant chercher un taxi et un hotel que nous avons interpellé une vieille dame ds une boutique plus loin ,c'est elle qui avait les clés !!!!
Nous avons discuté car la caution n'était pas ds le contrat .Un cauchemar !
Halyna Thanks!
We kept in touch from the moment we booked. When we got there gave us the keys and total freedom of 10 days. Accommodation is good in terms of money and the area is perfect for exploring Manhattan. 5 minutes from Union Square. Repeat without thinking.
¡Muchas gracias Halyna!
Estuvimos en contacto desde el momento en que reservamos. Cuando llegamos allí nos dio las llaves y libertad total los 10 días. El alojamiento es bueno en cuanto calidad precio y la zona es perfecta para recorrer Manhattan. A 5 minutos de Union Square. Repetiría sin pensarlo.
Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Die Whg. ist recht geräumig und sehr sauber. Halyna ist hilfsbereit und hilft einem wo sie kann. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
En arrivant , Halyna nous demande de caution de 150 $, non prévu dans le contrat.
Ça commençait bien!
La femme de ménage nous emmène jusqu'à l'appartement au 1er étage. Là, surprise : le descriptif, en français sur là site,n'a rien à voir avec la réalité : on réserve un appartment au 3eme étage et on nous donne un appartment au 1er étage. Le descriptif nous annonce un plancher en bois alors qu'il s'agit d'une vieille moquette sale! On nous annonce une demi salle de bain avec fenêtre et wc, on se retrouve avec un wc sans fenêtre et sans demi salle de bain. Pas de porte menant à une 2eme salle de bain mais il y a une salle de douche séparée de la cuisine par un rideau . Concernant la cuisine, l'équipement est très succinct pour 4 personnes. Les couverts sont dépareillés (seulement 2 couteaux identiques et 2 fourchettes identiques !)
Appartement donnant sur la rue , très bruyant.
Halyna ne devait pas être dans un bon jour car, avec nous, elle a été désagréable à notre arrivée !
Wimdu est responsable d'une telle situation lorsque le descriptif ne correspond pas à la réalité ! Je ne recommanderai pas Wimdu.
A Unfortunately we had a very bad experience with Halyna however all these good reviews. Due to a strike we had 3 hours of delay, we timely informed halyna about it and we agree with her to call her after our landing in NY. As communicated some days before Halyna wouldn't stayed in Ny the day of our arrival then she guaranteed that her cleaning lady would came to meet us for the key, we asked for her number but halyna was disagreed and she asked to call her as intermediate. As agreed we informed her first in the airport and then we called her when we got the taxi in the city center, but no answer for 3 hours,we were waiting street in front of the building and after 3 hours (it was 10 pm and it was dark) we were hopeless and we decided to look for a new apartment so we moved in a cheaper area in the north. So many sms calls and messages but she answered after so many hours but the worst was that she was angry with us because instead of staying close to the apartment we moved. Probably her apologies would had mitigated the stress we passed but she didn't. We decided to stay in her apartment only because windu was not answering to the customer service. In conclusion if this is the professionalism, respect and availability to our people coming from the other part of the world never ever halyna and wimdu. Furthermore the sheets were dirty full of hair and we asked for a change that she provided the day after. Obviously we never met halyna but only her cleaning lady. Small apartment, noisy during the night the only good thing was the area in E9th.

The story of baby Marie in Mali highlights the importance of finding long-term, sustainable solutions for hunger and child malnutrition around the world — and what we're doing to accomplish just that.
People who saw Marie were worried.
The 18-month-old girl was too thin. She had a cough, and there was something wrong with her throat.
A community health worker encouraged Marie's parents to take the baby girl to the health center in their region of Mali.
"I am concerned about what to do in the future, and concerned about the future of Marie," says Hawa, Marie's mother. "I think about Marie's food and her health."
At the clinic, the circumference of Marie's arm was measured — a common way to identify malnutrition — and the little girl was diagnosed with the worst form of it.
She was immediately placed in a World Vision-funded outpatient therapy program, given medication, and administered a highly-nutritious supplement called Plumpy'nut™ to nurse her back to health.
Marie's mother explains that this year's drought across parts of West Africa led to her daughters' condition.
"When we have a good harvest, we eat three times a day," Hawa says. "Before last year's harvest, we had more than 20 goats, but now, only five goats are left."
In other years, Marie's family has typically gotten a harvest that fills up 60 to 80 donkey carts. They grow maize, sorghum, and peanuts, and the harvest is enough to feed the family and their animals.
But last year was different. The severe drought left the family with only one donkey cart full of millet and about half a donkey cart of sorghum. The peanut and rice crops were a total failure.
For Marie and her family to survive, her parents had to sell their animals and buy food. The adults are eating only once a day now, and the children eat twice a day. Both are eating smaller amounts.
"The maize we buy in the market is not very nutritious because we get hungry [again] very quickly," Hawa says, "but we have no choice and the price is very expensive now."
Dr. Kene Mark Guindo, a World Vision nutrition project manager, says health centers in this region are now better equipped to detect early cases of malnutrition. Previously, parents would have to wait until the child was extremely malnourished with complications and then visit the clinic.
Now, Guindo says, World Vision has trained health volunteers in villages to do proactive malnutrition screening once a month, which involves measuring the bicep to determine the health status of the child according to a color-coded diagram. Malnourished children are referred to the community health center.
A health volunteer covers 35 to 50 households in a village. The health worker also has a mobile pharmacy to treat common sicknesses like malaria, diarrhea, and fever.
Marie's life was saved when she started the outpatient therapy program and began eating Plumpy'nut every day, and she has gained weight.
"I am glad Marie can come to the outpatient therapy program, because she is sick," Hawa says.
The lack of rain across West Africa has resulted in a severe drought, creating food shortages for over 3.5 million people in Mali, where the malnutrition rate is alarming.
To help address the crisis, World Vision plans to serve 10,364 acutely malnourished children up to age 6 in the area of Mali where Marie lives. Children in this age group are most vulnerable to malnutrition — and those who lack vital nutrition can be subject to permanent physical and mental stunting.
"I believe that during this difficult time that [Mali] is passing through, this program will certainly save children's lives," says San-San Dimache, World Vision's nutrition advisor for West Africa.
October 16 was World Food Day. As we reflect on the importance of providing all people with access to basic nutrition, World Vision is focused not just on emergency aid — as we're conducting right now in drought-stricken West Africa — but on long-term, sustainable solutions for food security and independence. We invite our supporters to join us in the goal of a hunger-free world.

Please pray for children like Marie who are affected by hunger and malnutrition. Pray for rains to return to Mali and West Africa, and pray for a healthy harvest this year.
Make a one-time donation to help provide life-saving food and care to hungry children. Your gift will help deliver interventions like emergency food aid, agricultural assistance, nutritional training and support, medical care, and more in areas where hunger and malnutrition are a problem.
Give monthly to help provide care for hungry children. Your monthly contribution will support our efforts to fight global hunger and malnutrition over the long term.

Great, thanks for the reply. Hopefully it will come in stock and the leather will be up to snuff!
Great, thanks for the reply. Hopefully it will come in stock and the leather will be up to snuff!
Yes I hope so too.
Any word on the leather strop?
I don't have good news.....I haven't received a test sample yet which has to mean it's not working out on their end. I have an email into them now and I'll report back when I hear from them.
The word is that the new leather didn't pass the supplier's QC. I've been told it'll be a few more days before they get the next stuff in to try.
Sorry again to everyone who's waiting.
OK folks we've got word that the supplier has approved and is shipping the new style leather to us! I'll do some testing before I ship first though so don't get too excited but I think based on what I hear that it should be good to go.
Not that you need to hear this(kinda goes without saying for you), but don't let our anticipation and the long wait push you into changing your standards. I trust your leather guy can get you the good stuff, though it might take some searching.
I received the leather today. I've gone ahead and spritzed one of the pads with diamond spray and when it's dry I'll start using it and see what I get. Stay tuned!
OK I hate to jump the gun but when I'm excited it's hard to keep it to myself.
I just went back into the wet room and had a look at the new leather pad that I had spritzed with our Dupont diamond spray earlier this morning. I was surprised to find the leather dry to the touch because most times this stuff takes some time to soak into and dry on the surface of leather. Well since it was dry I went and gathered up a few knives. I grabbed one brand new never used (straight out of the box from Japan) Hiro AS gyuto, a Susin Inox gyuto that's very dull awaiting sharpening service, & my own Watanabe nakiri with some little chips and rounded over ccurved section (blame the wife for damages here).
I tested each knife with paper (push and slice cuts) & the 3 finger test before getting started. All knives would slice but only the heal of the Watanabe nakiri push cut. The Susin Inox barely made the slice though. None passed the 3-finger test.
So then I stropped them all going at 10 passes per side. Each knife showed considerable improvement. All immediately passed the 3-finger test - not expected. All but the Suisin Inox (remember this one was dead ass dull already) now push cut. The Watanabe (aside from the edge chips) could have fooled me into thinking that it had just been sharpened. The Hiro AS was almost as good as having been sharpened but not super impressive, I think the edge is a little rounded from the factory.
Overall this is pretty good and slightly better than I would have expected.
Now I decided to fix the edge of the Watanabe by sharpening it up. I used the Beston 500x, Bester 1200x, & Suehiro Rika 5k to do the work. I ran the edge through a felt block after each stone. Then I followed with stropping on this new leather pad. This is where I became excited.
I got so excited because of a couple of things. I think that just having a leather pad available now was enough to sway my decisions so I tried not to let this get in the way of the facts. What I got from stropping the Watanabe post sharpening session is pretty damn remarkable actually. I got a near perfect burr free edge from 2 passes per side that was looking like 8k+ polished that is so damn crispy it wanted to grab my fingerprint upon touching it. It fell through paper on the slice like I had used a leather belt loaded with chromium oxide - whisper quiet (not something I see with diamond spray - ever) and the push cut was just top notch in every aspect. Why does this make me so excited? It's because this particular knife is normally a pain in the ass to de-burr and get to this level. I usually put off sharpening this one because I don't feel like going through all the normal de-burring crap I usually have to deal with. In this case I just did 2 passes on each side on the leather and it was done. I was sort of in disbelief that my eyes were lying to me so I went and used a loop to inspect closer and all I saw was 2 tiny micro-burr thingies hanging on in the curve section. I went back and did another two passes and inspected again and they were gone - edge perfect.
Now for the leather. Obviously I'm impressed with what I've seen so far with the results for touch up and deburring use but what about user friendly-ness. Well here come more praise.
The leather seemed to have soaked in the diamond quickly yet left it available on the surface. This isn't at all normal as diamond spray generally needs 2-3 applications (layers) to build up in the leather before the surface provides it to use. This is a very nice effect that means we can use less expensive diamond spray and not have to wait as long to use after application.
The surface of the leather is smooth/textured, that is it's a smooth textured leather that is thin and has little give to it. The texture provides a slight draw (that I find perfect) and very low chance of edge rolling. I tested this by applying massive downward pressure and even though I could see the surface flex under load it did not dub the edge at all. This is a key feature to new sharpeners who often use poor technique as they learn. The feel of the draw (or pull) of the leather is just enough to provide nice feel & feedback without being sticky and grabby. The other thing worth noting here is the leather is not easy to cut unless you're trying to like I was. I did make one slice but it was small and I was trying at least 10 times to do, I'd say that's a win there.
Even though I'm initially impressed I'm not going to release them just yet. I need to really make sure that they'll hold up over time so I'll keep using this one and beat it up some and do some more testing. I still need to do single bevels as well. I'll report back in a few days after I get some more experience under my belt. At least we have hope now.
That's great to hear! I'm looking forward to having this kit soon, as I've been limited to felt and one Chromium oxide spray, and really want to try some leather and the diamond spray.

Claire Young
this wiki
- "You missed the party. Princess theme. She made me wear a crown, and then Emily suggested they all try out her new play makeup on me."
- ―Quil Ateara V on Claire's party.[src]
Claire Young is the niece of Emily Young, the cousin of Seth and Leah Clearwater, and Quil Ateara V's imprintee. She is a member of the Makah tribe and lives on the Makah reservation.
She is portrayed by Sienna Joseph in the first movie adaptation of Breaking Dawn.
In Eclipse, two-year-old Claire and her sister were down from the Makah reservation visiting their aunt, Emily Young, when Claire was imprinted upon by Quil Ateara V. From that point forward, Quil acts like an older brother and a close friend to Claire, foreshadowing his possible romantic feelings when she's old enough to reciprocate, not unlike the imprinted relationship existing between Sam Uley and Emily or Jared Cameron and Kim.
Breaking DawnEdit
Claire makes a brief appearance in Breaking Dawn with Quil, playing on First Beach right after her birthday party and Jacob runs into them. It is obvious that she and Quil enjoy each other's company, much more than a father would enjoy playing peak-or-boo with his daughter for an hour. She and her sister are Emily Young's only nieces.
She also makes a brief appearance in the movie adaptation with Quil and the other wolves on First Beach, though her face is not shown.
Plot importanceEdit
The character of Claire and the controversy of Quil imprinting on her acts as foreshadowing to Jacob Black imprinting on Renesmee Cullen, the child of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, during the events of Breaking Dawn. Shape-shifters have previously imprinted on individuals of roughly their own age, and the resulting relationships have assumed a romantic tone. Quil's imprinting on Claire demonstrates that the imprinter will actually become whatever their imprintee needs—protector, friend, confidant, etc.
Physical appearanceEdit
Claire has russet skin, black hair and dark brown eyes.
Personality and traitsEdit
Claire is known to be very playful, lovely, and somewhat of a prankster, and enjoys Quil's company more than anything else.
In addition to her relationship with Quil Ateara V, Claire is very close to her aunt, Emily Young. She is also close to Jacob Black, whom she refers to as "Uncle Jake" in Breaking Dawn.
Film portrayalEdit
Claire Young is portrayed by child actress Sienna Joseph in Breaking Dawn - Part 1.

An ongoing love triangle, drugs, guns and money became again part of key testimony Monday at the murder trial against local rancher Kathleen "Kathy" Denson.
For more than seven hours, Monica Seebacher - also known as "Monique" - testified at the Eagle County Justice Center about her relationship with Denson and Gerald "Cody" Boyd. Seebacher, a store manager for one of Denson's fur stores in Vail, was Boyd's girlfriend when Boyd, 45, died of a black powder-pistol shotgun wound on June 27, 2002, at Denson's ranch.
Denson, 46, owner of the 77-acre Draggin' A Ranch between Eagle and Gypsum, as well as Designer Furs in Vail, is charged with the second-degree murder of Boyd, her former boyfriend.
Boyd was living with Seebacher but still seeing Denson at the time he was shot, according to court records.
Seebacher, 42, of Vail said Boyd had trouble breaking up a five-year-long relationship with Denson.
"He (Boyd) had told me he was going to end the relationship with Kathy," Seebacher told prosecutor Phil Smith.
The prosecution says Denson shot Boyd because of jealousy and because he was going to leave her.
The defense maintains Denson shot him in self-defense.
"I was in love with him'
In her testimony, Seebacher said she loved Boyd, who he had turned Denson down when the rancher asked him to marry her in May - a month before his shooting. She also said Boyd was sleeping with both women at the time.
"He had told me he wasn't happy with Kathy and their drug use," Seebacher said in her testimony. "Drug consumption had started to wear him down."
Seebacher admitted to doing cocaine with Denson and Boyd about 10 times. The three, she said, ingested cocaine together.
"I saw him (Boyd) doing the three things (cocaine, drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana) at the same time," Seebacher said. "But I never saw him getting mean while doing drugs."
According to testimony, tension was high between Denson and Boyd in May 2002, when they went on a trip to Cancun, Mexico, accompanied by Seebacher.
"He told Kathy he didn't want to go unless I went, too," Seebacher said.
According to testimony, during the trip Boyd got in an argument with Denson. Seebacher left the room. When she saw them again, Denson had a red mark on her face.
"But both Kathy and Cody said he hadn't done it," Seebacher said. "She had hit her forehead on the back of his head. Cody said Kathy was trying to provoke him to hit her."
The next day, Denson left Cancun for Colorado, leaving Seebacher a letter that said: "My dearest Monique, Cody wouldn't hurt me or anyone else. Sorry to have brought you into my (expletive) life."
A hit man?
While they were in Cancun, Seebacher said, Boyd made comments in reference to being a "hit man" in his past life.
"He claimed to have killed 32 people," Seebacher said. "I didn't believe him. He was high and drank when he said it."
Once back in Colorado, Seebacher said, Boyd called his mother, Mary Jo Boyd, and told her the same thing. Again, Seebacher said, Boyd had been drunk.
"I asked him who he had killed; he never gave me names," Seebacher said.
In May 2002, Denson gave Boyd $100,000, according to court records. Soon afterward, Boyd opened accounts with Mesa National Bank. He then bought a $26,000 Harley Davidson motorcycle and a $15,000 Corvette, the title of which Seebacher admitted to have put her name after Boyd was killed.
Shortly after the shooting, when Denson's accountant called Seebacher to tell her somebody had been shot at the ranch, Seebacher "had a feeling it was Cody," she said.
When Smith asked Seebacher what she did right after learning of the shooting, Seebacher said: "I went to the bank in Eagle and asked if I was on the (Boyd's) money market account."
After that, Seebacher said she went to see Denson at the Eagle County Detention Facility.
"The first thing she told me was, "Monique, I shot Cody. I had to. It was in self-defense,'" Seebacher said.
Taking notes
Denson appeared in court again Monday perfectly groomed wearing a beige pantsuit, a silk shirt and high heels. Callie Boyd, Boyd's 12-year-old daughter, sat in the courtroom for part of Seebacher's testimony taking notes.
In addition to Boyd's family members and some members of the public, Denson's two civil attorneys also attended the trial. Denson faces a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Boyd's former wife, Debra Griffith, on behalf of his daughter. Griffith is asking for about $366,000, the maximum amount allowable under Colorado's wrongful-death statute.
Another other civil lawsuit was filed by Seebacher for termination of her job by Denson.
The case
- Kathy Denson was arrested on June 27, 2002, after Eagle County Sheriff's deputies arrived at her ranch at 14245 U.S. Highway 6 and found her former boyfriend lying dead in the living room with an apparent gunshot wound to the chest.
- Denson, who is charged with the second-degree murder of Gerald Boyd, is out on $600,000 bail.
- Second-degree murder - knowingly causing the death of someone - is a class-II felony with a sentence of eight to 24 years in prison.
- Denson also has been charged with the use of a deadly weapon, which doubles the sentence if she is found guilty.
- Police said Denson called 911, saying she'd just shot her ex-boyfriend.
- Denson also faces a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by Debra Griffith on behalf of Boyd's 12-year-old daughter, Callie.

When the Marietta College men's basketball team plays Denison University at Ban Johnson Arena at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, it'll be the Pioneers' last home game this month.
After the Big Red (3-3), the Pioneers (3-2 overall and 1-0 Ohio Athletic Conference) will be on the road for their next five contests, and won't be back to the friendly confines of BJA until Jan. 2, 2013 when they host Ohio Northern University in an OAC tilt.
So far, MC's record almost looks like a heart monitor - up, down, up, down, up. Before drilling visiting Otterbein University (2-3, 0-1) 90-62 on Saturday, the Pioneers dropped a 73-63 decision at Wittenberg on Nov. 28.
"We just didn't play real well against Witt, and didn't shoot nearly as good obviously," said sixth-year Marietta College head coach Jon VanderWal. "But we're making progress. That's for sure."
No question about that, especially after torching Otterbein for 18 three-pointers. Overall, MC shot 52.5 percent from the floor (32 of 61).
"They (Otterbein) played man, and they're a tough team," said MC sophomore guard Brennan McKean, who scored a game-high 15 points on five three-balls. "They're a good team, and we just played pretty well."
If the lights at Ban Johnson Arena were flickering, it's because Marietta nearly shot them out, making 18 of 31 three atempts. Eight Pioneer cagers had at least one trey.
"It's really important that we take great, quality shots, and try to establish a little bit more of a low post game, which I thought we did in the second half with (Matt) Napier especially," VanderWal said. "I just wanted them to play smart and play really hard, which they did."
Sparked by non-starters' Garrett Stephenson (14 points), Napier (8) and McKean, the MC bench produced 54 points. Sixteen Pioneers saw court time against Otterbein.
"As long as it's a win, it doesn't matter (if I start)," McKean said. "It doesn't matter how it happens as long as we're winning.
"Coach (VanderWal) likes to play a lot of guys, so if you're not starting, you're going to play anyway."
Against Denison, which is coming off a 75-72 setback at Wabash Saturday, Marietta is expected to start Tyler Worstell, Scott Kimmey, Tyler Hammond, J.J. Martin, and Jason Humphrey.
Meanwhile, over on the women's side, Stacia Shrider's Lady Pioneers are off to a 4-2 start (1-1 OAC). MC is coming off a 75-48 setback at Ohio Northern University (5-1, 1-0) Saturday.
Marietta is hoping for a bounce-back win at Otterbein (4-1) at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. For the Lady Cardinals, it'll be their OAC opener.
MC's probable starters may be Shelby Maloney, Krissy Rowe, Jessica Brogan, Candice Alexander, and Heather Booth.
After Otterbein, Marietta is scheduled to host Wilmington in an OAC game at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
Then, the Lady Pioneers also hit the road for four consecutive games. They'll be back home against Baldwin-Wallace on Jan. 5.

PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Giants sent opening day pitcher Madison Bumgarner and five of eight everyday starters through rush-hour traffic Thursday night for a night road game against the San Diego Padres. Two more regulars, Angel Pagan and Michael Morse, played in a minor league game early in the day.
But second baseman Marco Scutaro spent yet another day in the trainer's room, this time to get an epidural injection in his bothersome back. Manager Bruce Bochy said he would now put the odds "at 50-50" that Scutaro is ready to take the field March 31 for the season opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The injection was the second of the spring for Scutaro, who has played just two Cactus League innings and has two at-bats.
"The first one didn't work," Scutaro said, shrugging his shoulders.
Scutaro, 38, returned to team workouts last week after nearly a month of light days on a back field at Scottsdale Stadium, and the Giants hoped to get him some additional at-bats in a minor league game Wednesday or Thursday. But Scutaro felt some back stiffness and went for a second MRI before getting the shot. The back has bothered Scutaro since last spring.
"This is to try to get him over the hump," Bochy said. "He'll be down a couple of days, but the hope is that after that he'll be good to go."
The Giants are running out of time, and not just because the final cutdown day is fast approaching and two of the backup options -- Ehire Adrianza and Tony Abreu -- are out of options. Any game Scutaro plays for the major league club the remainder of the spring will reset a potential 15-day disabled list stint. For now, the Giants remain hopeful that Scutaro will take a turn for the better. If Scutaro can't start opening day, Joaquin Arias is likely to get the nod. Arias started at second base Thursday night.
"We do think Joaquin is a good answer until we get Marco back, whether that's within the next week, or however long it takes," Bochy said.
The news was much better for Pagan and Morse on Thursday, as both veterans got extra at-bats in a Triple-A game. Pagan (back tightness) was playing for just the second time in 10 days; Morse (right calf tightness) made his first appearance since March 12 and hit a homer.
"Today felt great, it felt awesome," Morse said. "I didn't feel anything (in the calf)."
Morse has been lobbying to get back on the field, but Bochy and the training staff opted for a more cautious approach with a player who has been hounded by injuries throughout his career. The left fielder is expected to be in the starting lineup Friday.
"I don't know what's going on," Bumgarner said. "I feel good, though. This is by far the best spring I've had. Today I felt pretty close to ready (for opening day)."
Bumgarner relied on a different weapon while keeping the Padres off-balance, throwing several slow curveballs that came in around 65 mph. He ended the sixth inning with a 69 mph curveball that froze Carlos Quentin.
"I threw it some last year," he said. "You know, it's just varying speeds with pitches. That can't do anything but help."
In a matchup of scheduled opening day starters, the Giants gave Bumgarner plenty of support, scoring seven runs in the first two innings against Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner. Buster Posey hit a grand slam, and Hunter Pence added three hits.
Bochy is giving Cain a break Friday, sending him to pitch in a 1 p.m. game at the club's minor league facility. Yusmeiro Petit will start the night game against the A's at Scottsdale Stadium.

Ford Motor Company and Smith Motor in Brookfield recently partnered to help raise money in support of the Bucklin/Macon County Athletic Co-op as part of Ford's Drive One 4 UR School program. Members of the local community came out to support the two local schools in an effort to raise money for their programs. Local residents came out to the school and test drove a Ford to help raise money for the Co-op. Their hard work helped raise $7,540 for the school's combined athletic funds.
"The Smith Motors family is glad to help the community in any way we can," said Barry Smith. "We're excited to help raise money for Bucklin and Macon County, and at the same time introduce parents, teenagers and other drivers to our high quality lineup and innovative safety technologies."
Smith continued: "We know it is important that students continue to have opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities, and that's why over the past few years it has been a privilege to help support these important programs."
Since the start of Ford's Drive One 4 UR School program in 2007, over 173,000 people have helped raise more than $3.3 million for close to 700 high schools across the country. The local presentation was held last week at the Bucklin/Macon County Co-op's final home game at New Cambria.

WINTER PARK, Colo. — While Olympic gold medalist Julia Mancuso of Squaw Valley was busy extending her title record at the Nature Valley U.S. Alpine Championships this past weekend, Lila Lapanja was hard at work building her own name with a solid all-around performance.
Lapanja, a first-year member of the U.S. Ski Team's Development Team and former member of the Sugar Bowl and Diamond Peak ski teams, was the top junior racer in the women's combined and finished second overall competing against top members of the A Team.
The 18-year-old North Shore native also was fourth overall and the second junior in Thursday's slalom, and 17th overall in both the GS and super G. Lapanja was .09 from the overall podium in the slalom.
Mancuso, meanwhile, powered through the soft snow conditions at the Winter Park resort on Saturday to increase her own national title record to 15. Her win came one day after landing a massive 1.2-second victory in the super G for her 14th national title. Truckee's Stacey Cook finished eighth in both the GS and super G.
Mancuso's win on Saturday marked the fourth straight GS title and sixth of her career. She also has four super G titles, four combined titles and one downhill title. World Cup overall champion Lindsey Vonn started the first run but made an early exit after getting late into a hairpin turn.
Nineteen-year-old Norwegian Kristine Gjelsten Haugen was second ahead of 17-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin in the GS, while Leanne Smith took silver and Laurenne Ross bronze in the super G.
Among other Tahoe-area juniors, Foreste Peterson finished 12th in the slalom while Allene Kennedy was 27th and Julia Bjorkman 39th. Peterson was 13th in the super G as Bjorkman took 38th, Lena Andrews was 40th and Madeleine Hall 49th. In the GS, Peterson finished 18th and Andrews 39th. Their places among junior racers were not available.

For Six Guns Body Art owners and artists Byron Tarver and Ashley Gann, tattooing isn't just about the job, it's about the art.
"You're creating something. You're not just creating something on a canvas or a piece of paper, for me, it's living art," Tarver said. "That person takes off with that piece of art and they literally carry it with them for the rest of their lives. It's a pretty special thing."
Tarver and Gann recently opened Six Guns in Dillon, across the street from La Riva Mall. This is the first foray into ownership for Gann, who has been tattooing for four years, but not for Tarver, who started at the age of 13.
"I had family members that were tattoo artists, so I actually learned in a tattoo shop," Tarver said. There were no laws against Tarver's young apprenticeship with his uncles, but "it was considered extremely taboo." The artist, originally from Sulphur, La., has had a few shops of his own over the years - including in British Columbia and Alaska - a 16-year stint following the tattoo circuit around the country - where he attended tattoo conventions and competed, winning two awards for his portrait work - and a tattoo school in Arkansas, which he operated for 11 years.
That's where he met Gann. Gann also found a love for tattooing early on; Her mother had friends who were tattoo artists, including one who reluctantly agreed to try her hand at tattooing a grapefruit at the age of 14 (grapefruits are often used for practice). Gann later ended up as Tarver's apprentice, got her license, and managed the school for three years. During her tenure as manager, she created a new curriculum for the school that was the first of its kind to be federally recognized, which allowed the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to issue grants to veterans interested in the trade.
Tarver specializes in portrait work - like a life-like rendition he did of a young Jack Nicholson, from "The Shining" - Gann loves doing color work, and especially enjoys the sight of a bright and saturated tattoo from afar.
"She's an excellent artist," Tarver said. "She's very accomplished."
While the two shut down the Arkansas shop because there was too much competition, they didn't come to Summit County for the lack of it.
"Honestly, we moved here just because it was beautiful, and the people are nice," Tarver said. "I love the mountains."
And so far, in the month the Dillon shop has been up and running, the reception has been very good. Sometimes when a tattoo shop opens up in a community that didn't have one before, the response isn't always positive, Gann said. But in Dillon, everyone's been very welcoming - the Dillon Town Council even did a ribbon cutting last week.
"Everybody's been really supportive of us being here," Gann said.

A large crowd turned out Tuesday in West Alabama to learn how the new Affordable Healthcare Law could affect them. The workshop was held at Brian W. Whitfield Hospital in Demopolis. It was sponsored by Congresswoman Terri Sewell, who represents Alabama's 7th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Because of ongoing talks in Washington, she was not able to attend, however, several experts on the plan were in there to answer questions
"Coverage will begin as soon as January 1st 2014 and the enrollment period ends on March 31st 2014." That's part of what Sewell said in the video message that she made for those who attended the workshop. There was standing room only as residents from Marengo, Sumter, Choctaw and other counties from throughout the Alabama Black Belt Region gathered to find out their options under the new Affordable Healthcare Law, also known as Obamacare.
Jim Carnes with the non-profit group, Alabama Arise, was one of the presenters. As part of the new federal marketplace, he says parents of children who are enrolled in ALL KIDS, which is an insurance program for low income children in Alabama, will qualify for coverage discounts.
"As for eligibility, parents' income limits for ALL KIDS falls entirely within the new eligibility limits for the discounted healthcare at the health insurance marketplace," says Carnes.
When it comes to the federal marketplace, one of the most common questions is whether people can choose the doctor who they want to go to for care. Program navigators say the limits virtually reflect what insurance companies already have in place.
"The insurance that is offered on the marketplace is private insurance just like the ordinary Blue Cross/Blue Shield that people buy today, and each insurance plan has its network of doctors that accept that insurance coverage," says Carnes. "They can see if their provider of choice is in that network and if not they can encourage the doctor to join that network, or choose another plan."
More than 700-thousand Alabamians currently do not have health insurance. Nationwide, anyone who does not have some type of health coverage after March 31st of next year could face a fine.
"There will be a tax penalty at tax time for those folks who have deferred and decided not to take this opportunity," says Carnes.
To enroll in the new Federal Healthcare Marketplace call 1-800-318-2596 or log on to healthcare.gov. Information is also available at many public libraries, community centers and healthcare providers nationwide.

Panthers sign free agent WR Cotchery from Steelers
Published: Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 2:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 2:57 p.m.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers announced Thursday they've signed free agent wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery to a two-year contract, helping rebuild a depleted wide receiving corps.
Financial terms of the deal were not released.
Cotchery, 31, has spent 10 seasons in the NFL, the last three with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had 46 receptions for 602 yards and a career-high 10 touchdown receptions in 2013.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Cotchery has 437 receptions for 5,558 yards and 30 touchdowns during his career. He's been primarily used as a No. 3 receiver in Pittsburgh, starting eight games in three seasons.
Carolina was in need of help at receiver.
They released veteran Steve Smith in a salary cap move last week, and Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn Jr. and Domenik Hixon all left via free agency.

OAKLAND -- In the latest chapter of the Oakland A's lease saga, the City Council on Wednesday voted to approve the 10-year lease to keep the team in town, but with several modifications opposed by A's management.
While the amendments do not impact the economics of the deal, A's President Mike Crowley said the team was "disappointed" that the council refused to approve lease terms that had already been approved by the joint Oakland-Alameda County board that operates O.co Coliseum. "We'll have to take a look at it and talk about it internally," he said.
After the vote, Council President Pat Kernighan said she hoped A's co-owner Lew Wolff could accept the vote "as a yes" and accept the minor changes sought by the council.
Echoing sentiments of several council members who felt pressured into accepting the A's terms, Councilman Dan Kalb said the A's should be "embarrassed" for not agreeing to the "really easy" changes.
"There seems to be this pattern where everyone wants the city of Oakland to be on their page," Kalb said. "Maybe they're used to seeing the city of Oakland get pushed around. I think there needs to be some clarity that developers or team owners need to be on our page."
The most substantive change would have altered the lease terms to free from liability the city and Alameda County, who jointly own the Coliseum Complex, for perceived lease violations by the Oakland Raiders.
Council members had been divided for weeks over the deal, which lowers the team's rent and allows the A's to keep $5.3 million from a dispute over a city parking tax.
Supporters have called the agreement an important first step toward getting the A's to seriously consider building a new stadium in Oakland. Opponents argued that the deal would shortchange the city and buy time for the team to continue its stymied effort to move to San Jose.
Further complicating the lease deal is that the Oakland Raiders want to knock down the Coliseum to build a yet unfunded football stadium at the site. At Wednesday's council meeting, several fans spoke against the lease extension fearful that it would force out the Raiders without securing a commitment from Wolff to build in Oakland.
"Don't do the lease," Brien Dixon screamed at council members. "This guy is never going to work with you. He doesn't believe in you guys."
The 10-year lease agreement presented to council members includes an escape clause allowing the A's to leave Oakland following the 2018 season. It also allows the city to boot the A's if the Raiders' stadium deal materializes. Annual rent payments would drop from $1.75 million this year to an average of $1.35 million, while the A's would commit to spending more than $10 million for new scoreboards. Council members were not trying to change those deal points.
If the A's agree to the city's modifications, the amended deal could go to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors later this month for final approval. The county could also approve the deal already agreed to by the Coliseum board, putting more pressure on the city to drop its proposed amendments.
Wednesday's debate was the latest chapter in a rancorous six-month negotiation that has threatened to damage Oakland's reputation with Major League Baseball and hamper its case for keeping the ballclub that has spent most of the last decade trying to leave town.
A majority of council members found themselves in open conflict not only with the A's but with county leaders who were supposed to be their negotiating partners.
The three-way tussle resulted in several attention-grabbing sessions of the Coliseum board that was required to give initial backing to the lease deal.
Council members, who were still trying to digest the deal points, ordered its representatives on the board to boycott an initial vote on the lease deal late last month. The boycott was called after the board president, Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley, refused to delay the vote. Another confrontation the following week was averted only after Major League Baseball stepped in at the last moment threatening to give the A's permission to quickly leave Oakland.
Council members Kernighan, Libby Schaaf, Dan Kalb, Lynette Gibson McElhaney and Rebecca Kaplan approved the modified lease proposal. The vote came after only Council members Kaplan, Larry Reid and Noel Gallo voted to approve the deal without the proposed modifications.

Last week Garth Brooks gave his first radio interview in three years - and he gave it to his longtime friend and fellow entertainer, Marie Osmond. Garth talked to her on the daily radio show, Marie and Friends. The website allaboutcountry.com [1] reported that the interview included an impromptu performance of Garth singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." Much of the conversation was about baseball, as Garth suited up last spring with the Kansas City Royals in efforts to generate awareness for The Teammates for Kids Foundation. "The only thing that kept me from making a living out of sports was my athletic ability," said Garth. "The reason Garth Brooks is a megastar is because his fans can relate to his heart," added Marie. "Throughout my most public struggles I could always count on a phone call, a card, or a note of support from Garth. He is a genuine friend." When Marie asked her buddy if he was ever going to sing again, Garth replied, "When my youngest is 18, I'll be 52. Maybe we'll fire up the machine for one more tour if there's still a place for us."

Shelton State men try to carry momentum into ACCC tourney
Published: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 12:07 a.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The Shelton State Buccaneers men's basketball team earned the No. 1 spot in the North Division and a first-round bye in next week's Alabama Community College Conference tournament at Wallace State Community College-Hanceville.
The Buccaneers finished the regular season 23-7 overall and 10-2 in the ACCC.
The tournament starts Wednesday, with the championship game Saturday. Shelton State secured the top seed for the North and Chattahoochee Valley is the top seed in the South.
"For us, we just have to control the things we can control and work hard," Shelton State coach Barry Mohun said. "We had a pretty good season and we want to use some of that momentum going forward in the tournament."
One of the Buccaneers strengths has been rebounding on the offensive end. The team consistently crashes the boards and creates second chance opportunities, often translating into points.
"We are big on the effort plays," Mohun said. "We may not be the best shooting team, but we always want to out work our opponents and crash the glass."
The Bucs have won 13 of their last 15 games, a run dating back to early January. The team uses its length on defense to force turnovers and create fast-break points. Along with the transition buckets, the Bucs have worked on ball movement to create better shots on offense.
"We want to be more efficient so we are stressing that the players communicate and make the right play," Mohun said. "If we do that, we should be fine."
Forward Ladarius Tabb leads the team in scoring with 16 points per game and averages nearly two steals per game. Forward Travis Daniels averages 13 points and a team-high seven rebounds. Tabb and Daniels combined for 25 rebounds in the team's final home game, a double-overtime victory over Wallace State-Hanceville.
Tabb said the team is looking forward to all the challenges the tournament will bring.
"We know it's going to be tough, but we will be ready for everything," Tabb said. "Coach (Mohun) will have us prepared and we will come out hard and compete because we know each game could be our last."
Shelton State returns to action Thursday to face the winner of WCC Selma and Wallace State-Hanceville. Tipoff is at 7 p.m.

Friday March 15, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. – Vanderbilt grabbed the early lead Friday in the sixth edition of the Insperity Lady Jaguar Intercollegiate at ASU's own Forest Hills Golf Club.
The ninth-ranked Commodores, the highest-ranked team in the field, combined for a 2-over 290 in the first round and moved out to a five-shot lead over No. 16 Purdue. Texas and Notre Dame are third and fourth, respectively, while Coastal Carolina and East Tennessee State are tied for fifth. The Lady Jags are just a single stroke back of both the Chanticleers and Buccaneers.
Vandy's Lauren Stratton, the No. 4 player for the 'Dores, registered six birdies and posted a 3-under 69 to take a one-shot lead over teammate Jenny Hahn and Augusta State senior Natalie Wille. Purdue's Laura Gonzalez is alone in fourth after a 1-under 71 and seven players are tied for fifth.
Wille paced the Lady Jags with a 2-under 70 and Casey Kennedy signed for 76, good for a tie for 21st. Stephanie Bennett managed a 79 while Marit Bjerke and Christine Duschek-Hansen each turned in an 80. ASU junior Shannon Pak and senior Julia Stalbro, playing as individuals, notched an 81 and an 84.
The three-day, 54-hole event features the largest field in the six-year history of the event. Among the 18 teams are ASU, Charleston Southern, Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, East Tennessee State, Georgia State, Illinois, Kennesaw State, Kentucky, Lamar, Maryland, Memphis, Notre Dame, Purdue, Southern Mississippi, Texas, UT San Antonio and Vanderbilt. The field includes six teams ranked in the nation's top 50 and a total of 99 players will be in action.

ingredient information
Currently, tomatoes are one of the most popular vegetables eaten by Americans. Tomatoes are members of the fruit family, but they are served and prepared as a vegetable. This is why most people consider them a vegetable and not a fruit. They are high in vitamin C and also provide beta-carotene. The National Cancer Institute published a study that showed an association between consuming a diet rich in tomato-based foods and a decreased risk of prostate cancer. Tomatoes contain large amounts of an antioxidant called lycopene, which may be responsible for this possible positive effect. Tomato paste and sauces contain a greater amount of lycopene, because they are more concentrated than fresh tomatoes. Lycopene is a bright red carotenoid pigment (phytochemical) found in tomatoes and other red fruits. Lycopene is the most common carotenoid in the human body and is one of the most potent carotenoid antioxidants. Its name is derived from the tomato's species classification, Solanum lycopersicum. Ironically, the highest natural concentrations of lycopene in food are found not in tomatoes, but in watermelon. Almost all dietary lycopene comes from tomato products, however. Recent research has indicated that lycopene, a carotenoid with potent antioxidant effects which is found in raw tomatoes, may be responsible for the protection against cancers. This is possibly the reason why people living in the Mediterranean who eat lots of tomatoes have a lower rate of some cancers.

Basel final
Roger will bid for his sixth trophy from seven editions of his home Swiss Indoors after defeating Paul-Henri Mathieu 7-5, 6-4 in the semi-finals today. The world No 1 will line up for the seventh time this season against Argentine danger man Juan Martin del Potro, who reached his second final in succession with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Frenchman Richard Gasquet.Top seed Roger's win over Mathieu, a fellow over-30 player, saw the home star send down 10 aces without facing a break point in just under 90 minutes. "I'm very happy to be in this final again," said our champ who leads the ATP with six trophies this season and is fighting to finish the year as No 1."I've been serving really well. A lot of things have gone my way this week, it's been good so far. The final will be tough, even if I've beaten Del Potro so many times. We always have difficult matches including five sets at the French Open and 19-17 in the Olympics. He's playing well so I'll have to be ready." Roger won his ninth Basel semi-final from 10 played, with his lone loss at this stage coming to Argentine David Nalbandian a decade ago.The Swiss also moved alongside John McEnroe for fourth place in the post-1968 Open era with 875 career match wins.
Roger, chasing his sixth title in seven years at his hometown event, fired 10 aces and never allowed 101st-ranked Mathieu a break-point chance.Excellent anticipation at the net put our champ into position to hit a volleyed winner to create two set points in the first which he clinched with a forehand winner. Roger moved his opponent around the court in the final game before putting away an overhead to earn match point, and sealed his victory when Mathieu netted a two-handed backhand.Roger did not have to face one break point against Mathieu, converting two of the four that came his way to ease into the final.
Look forward to your 77th Title, touchwood :)
Congratulations and good luck!
Best luck for tomorrow and may God walk along with you.
Love you always.

Is it possible?
I am moving to Hawaii and we are unfortunately going to have to live in a hotel for about 30 days. I have a TV, PS3 250GB, Acer laptop with windows 7, and a wifi router.
Can someone tell me how to make this work? For starters, can you even connect without a wired connection??? For example, if the PS3 and the laptop are connected to the WiFi will that even work?
Can I just use an external hard drive or what?
