Cards hope Garcia continues mastery of Crew
Southpaw opposes young Peralta, who struggled against St. Louis
The Cardinals have played the Brewers more than any other opponent this year, and their success in those matchups is one of the reasons they find themselves sitting atop the National League Central.
St. Louis brings its 6-1 record against Milwaukee into Friday night's series opener at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals, who swept a four-game set at Miller Park earlier this month, will send Jaime Garcia to the mound against Wily Peralta.
Although the Redbirds dropped their series finale against the Mets on Thursday afternoon to snap a three-game winning streak, they still enter the matchup having taken 12 of their past 15. The Brewers, on the other hand, have dropped 12 of their past 14.
But Ryan Braun said the fact that the Brewers have done this before -- they were 16-22 after 38 games in 2012 as well -- helps keep the clubhouse optimistic, though he'd surely rather that his team not be in this hole.
"Certainly, we'd prefer to start off better, but looking back at the last couple of years, we can draw from that experience of not getting off to a great start as a team, staying positive, continuing to work and finishing really strong," Braun said. "I think it definitely helps that we've been through it before. We've proven to ourselves that we can come back, but it would be a lot nicer and make it a lot easier on us if we started better."
Garcia (4-2, 2.88 ERA) is looking to become the fourth member of the Cardinals' staff to reach five victories, joining Lance Lynn, Shelby Miller and Adam Wainwright. Entering Thursday, no other Major League club had three pitchers with five wins apiece.
Garcia has allowed only one run over 15 innings against the Brewers this season across two starts. He had a streak of three consecutive one-run starts broken up Sunday against the Rockies, who reached him for a season-high five runs on eight hits in six innings. The left-hander served up a pair of home runs, including his first since April 8.
"I made a couple mistakes and I paid the consequences," Garcia said. "They have a really good lineup."
Peralta (3-3, 5.40) has failed to register a quality start only once over his past five outings, and that was against the Cardinals on May 2 at Miller Park. He surrendered six runs on 11 hits in 4 1/3 innings that time out. This will be his first time pitching at Busch Stadium.
The 24-year-old rookie right-hander sports a 1.49 WHIP for the season and has struck out three batters or fewer in six straight outings. He kept the Brewers in the game Sunday in Cincinnati, giving up four runs -- three earned -- on five hits in six innings.
"The last two outings, he's been more focused," catcher Martin Maldonado said. "Like I told you guys before, he can be as good as anybody in this game. He's calm 'down the hill,' good secondary stuff. I think he threw the ball great."
Cardinals: Some rest for the outfield
• Outfielders Matt Holliday and Jon Jay both got the day off Thursday, but are expected back in the lineup Friday.
Jay had hit safely in 11 of his past 12 games before a pinch-hit appearance on Thursday, going 18-for-41 (.439) with two home runs, three doubles and 12 RBIs in that span. He finished April with a .213 average that since has climbed to .274.
Holliday also has picked it up a bit of late, going 13-for-43 (.302) with a double, three homers and eight RBIs since May 3.
Brewers: Axford still looking for results
Since some early-season struggles that lost him the closer's role, right-hander John Axford has felt his mechanics and velocity come back. He said he feels good, but is frustrated by his continued rough outings.
Axford gave up the tying run in the eighth inning Tuesday against the Pirates. Although he came back to retire the only batter he faced Wednesday, he has been scored upon in three of his six outings this month and four of his past eight since a six-appearance scoreless streak.
He has a 9.00 ERA in 15 innings, although he has struck out 17. For now, manager Ron Roenicke is keeping the faith.
"I don't know; it's hard to figure out," Roenicke said Wednesday. "We still have confidence in him, and nothing seems to go right. So we'll see."
Worth noting
• The Brewers are 6-12 on the road this season.
• Milwaukee is the only team in the Majors that has yet to win a game when only scoring between one and three runs, going 0-13.
• Garcia has a 2.52 career ERA at home and a 2.75 ERA against the Brewers.

Gaucher disease is a rare disease. It causes the abnormal storage of fatty substances. These fatty substances build up in the bones, liver, lungs, spleen and occasionally the brain. There are three types of Gaucher disease:
Gaucher disease is a genetic disease. A faulty gene limits the amount of an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase. The enzyme normally breaks down a fat called glucocerebroside. There is not enough of the enzyme to break down all of this specific fat. As a result, it builds up in the spleen, liver, lungs, bones, and brain.
A family history of Gaucher is the only known factor that increases your risk of Gaucher.
Symptoms vary across the three types of Gaucher disease. In general, the later the onset of symptoms, the less likely that symptoms will be severe.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Types II and III also have additional symptoms.
In type II, rigidity and seizures may appear within the first few months of life. Dementia and intellectual disabilities may appear later. This type is usually fatal by the age of three.
In type III, the primary symptom is a slowly progressive neurologic disease. This can include seizures and mental retardation. Other symptoms are similar to type I and may appear in early childhood. People with type III Gaucher who survive through adolescence may survive until their 30s or 40s.
Your doctor will ask about symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids and tissue may be tested. This can be done with:
There is no treatment for the severe neurologic symptoms that may occur with type II and type III Gaucher.
Treatment options for type I Gaucher include:
Certain medications can be used to replace the missing enzyme. This enzyme replacement therapy will be given through regular infusions. This therapy can help reduce abnormalities in the bone, decrease liver and spleen size, and reverse some abnormal blood counts.
Medications that reduce the amount of fatty acids in the blood may be effective for people who cannot tolerate enzyme replacement therapy.
Medications may also be given for bone pain and to relieve bone crises.
A transplant is used only in patients with severe neurological symptoms.
An enlarged spleen may need to be removed. It can lead to other health problems if it is enlarged and not removed.
There is no known way to prevent Gaucher disease. If you have Gaucher disease or have a family history of the disorder, you can talk to a genetic counselor. They can help determine the risk of Gaucher disease in your offspring.

Tigers, Mariners meet to open key series
Consistent Porcello will take on rookie Paxton at Comerica Park
Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon didn't sound ecstatic about the thought of returning to Detroit as a visiting manager after spending 2006-13 in the Motor City coaching under former Tigers manager Jim Leyland.
But McClendon will get that chance when the Mariners and Tigers open a three-game set Friday at Comerica Park in a series pitting two teams vying for playoff positions.
"I'll be glad when it's over. Just like when they were here. A lot of ways it's good, and other ways it's a pain in the butt," McClendon said Wednesday. "I'm going to be happy to see a lot of people, but I'll be glad to be leaving town."
McClendon, who was Detroit's bullpen coach in 2006 and its hitting coach from '07-13, will at least have the benefit of sending left-hander James Paxton to the mound for the fifth time this season. Paxton has not lost a Major League game in his short career. He's pitched in eight games over the last two years and is 5-0 in his career. In games he starts, the Mariners are 6-2.
However, the most recent of those losses came in Paxton's last start -- a 2-1 defeat to the White Sox on Aug. 9. Paxton pitched well, going 6 1/3 innings while giving up one run on six hits, but the offense couldn't pick it up behind him.
Although he hasn't pitched in the Major Leagues for long, Paxton has already demonstrated a good command for the strike zone, averaging 3.58 strikeouts for every walk he allows. The superb pitching comes as a relief for Paxton, who has missed much of the last four months with a left lat strain and left-shoulder inflammation.
His opponent on Friday, Rick Porcello, has also been pitching well consistently.
Porcello hasn't given up more than three runs in his last six appearances -- including a two-inning relief outing in the Tigers' 19-inning loss to the Blue Jays on Aug. 10.
Mariners: Jackson unsure how he'll be welcomed
Sitting inside the Seattle media room Tuesday, Austin Jackson took the understated route when asked his feelings about returning to Detroit as a visiting player for the Mariners' three-game weekend series against the Tigers.
Jackson wasn't willing to provide his former teammates with bulletin board material. The Denton, Texas, native described his first trip back as "business as usual," but he admitted it would include mixed emotions.
"Obviously, you want to play well against every team -- especially with the team you were once with," Jackson said. "It's just competitive nature."
Jackson's tenure with the Tigers extended back to December 2009, when the Yankees sent him to Detroit in a three-team trade that brought Curtis Granderson to New York. The next season, Jackson finished second in the AL Rookie of the Year Award voting, hitting .293 with 34 doubles, 27 stolen bases and 103 runs scored. Jackson isn't sure how Tigers fans will greet him in his return.
"I guess it depends on how we do against them," Jackson said.
Tigers: Booing gets clubhouse's attention
Two veteran Tigers spent Wednesday taking note of fan reaction. It was fitting that they came from opposite ends of the clubhouse.
Victor Martinez seemingly wasn't aware of Joe Nathan's gesture to fans at the end of Wednesday's 8-4 win, but he was certainly aware of the boos Nathan and other teammates were receiving. And as the Tigers celebrated the end of their four-game losing streak, Martinez was making a reasoned plea to reporters for fan support.
"We're trying," Martinez said. "It's too long of a season. At some point, you're going to struggle. Every team struggles. As a fan, if you're just going to be with us when we're doing good, we really need the fans when we struggle, too."
The Tigers are a half-game behind the Royals in the American League Central, after leading the division for much of the season. Even before the recent skid, however, Martinez noted he was hearing criticism.
"We [were winning] the division by three-to-four games and I hear people complaining," Martinez said. "I heard some negative comments.
"We're the ones here. If somebody has to be panicked, it's us here. We're the ones playing. We're fine. We believe in what we got. We're not going to keep playing like this for too long. We've got too good of a team. Like I say, every team struggles at some point. Look at it during the season, every team struggles. We wish that we could go 162-0."
Worth noting
• Recently signed reliever Jim Johnson has opted to extend his Minor League stint at Triple-A Toledo before joining the Tigers.
• Robinson Cano, a career .311 hitter, has only a .265 average in 63 games against the Tigers. His .732 OPS against them is the lowest mark he has against teams he has played more than 50 games.

Hi: 11° Lo:1°
HOMELESS people in Redditch are being moved into temporary accommodation outside of the borough because other councils are using the town's own properties for their homeless residents.
Redditch has the lowest number of homeless acceptances across Worcestershire, a larger proportion of social housing and is cheaper than other areas making it an attractive place for neighbouring councils to house residents, who would otherwise end up on the streets, while they find them a permanent place to live.
Coun Carole Gandy highlighted the problem during a debate on the borough council's new homelessness strategy during which she branded the situation unacceptable. In one case she said a Redditch family had been moved into Birmingham because available accommodation was taken up by people from other areas.
"I am more than happy we do our bit but if we have got our own people that are accepted as homeless and they have to go, not just outside the borough but Worcestershire as well, with children who are in school in Redditch, that is unacceptable," she told a recent executive committee meeting.
"We should be working with other councils to make sure they can accommodate their homeless."
Coun Mark Shurmer, responsible for housing on the council, added he was also concerned other councils could take advantage of cheap housing in the private sector in Redditch and create a much bigger homeless problem in the borough.
"If you get a council in a London borough which discharges its duty into the private sector and does a deal with a private landlord and puts their homeless into their properties, on short-term tenancies here because it's cheaper, then when they are made homeless guess whose problem they are?"
Derek Allen, the council's housing strategy manager, said there were examples when it was necessary to place homeless people outside of their own area such as a witness to a crime or a victim of domestic abuse. But he added a new agreement was being drawn up which would seek to ensure each council dealt with its own homeless people.
"Local authorities are seeking less expensive temporary accommodation provision for homeless households and it does present a problem for places like Redditch if bed and breakfast or similar accommodation is cheaper than in other areas, for example Birmingham, and local authorities can take advantage of that," he said.
"It could end up with prices being driven up locally because other local authorities are using provision in Redditch.
"You may not find it right and morally you may take a view on it, but under homeless legislation they are able to do it."

Weaver can clinch series for Angels vs. Blue Jays
Halos send ace to mound to face Hutchison in Toronto
Jered Weaver is coming off his best outing of the year, and the Angels' ace will look to carry that momentum into Sunday's matchup against the Blue Jays.
The veteran right-hander pitched a season-high eight innings of one-run ball in a win over the Yankees on Monday, improving his record to 3-2 in seven starts after beginning the year 0-2. He has a 1.78 ERA in his last four starts.
"I've always felt ... that I was going to get stronger as the season went on, and I think we saw a little glimpse of that today," Weaver said following the win over the Yanks. "Hopefully, this is a step in the right direction."
History is on Weaver's side, as the 31-year-old owns an 8-2 lifetime record against the Blue Jays. He'll face a lineup that has struggled to produce offense against the Halos so far in the series. Toronto has managed six runs in two losses to Los Angeles, compared to the 22 it scored in two games against Philadelphia earlier this week.
Drew Hutchison will get the start for the Blue Jays. The 23-year-old pitched a career-high eight innings vs. the Phillies in his latest start. He was nearly flawless outside of a five-run sixth, which featured a grand slam by Cody Asche. Hutchison battled back to retire his final seven hitters.
Toronto manager John Gibbons said Hutchison's bounce-back response to the grand slam was a testament to his character.
"He showed us what he is all about," Gibbons said. "It was a rough inning, he almost got out of it and Asche had such a big day all around, it was his night, too. But that's where you find out about a guy, and he came back with two dominating innings. That's big for him."
The Angels have taken the first two games of the four-game set between the two teams, and they own a lifetime record of 194-193 vs. the Blue Jays.
Blue Jays: Bautista could tie team record
Jose Bautista has now reached base safely in all 37 games to start the season, the longest such streak in the Majors. He's now one game away from tying a streak of 38 games set by Carlos Delgado in 1998.
Angels: Santiago will see use in bullpen
The Halos won't shy away from using Hector Santiago in high-leverage spots. And, really, they have no choice.
Santiago, who was removed from Los Angeles' rotation on Friday after going 0-6 with a 5.19 ERA over seven starts, is currently the only left-hander in the Angels' bullpen.
"With Hector, getting him out there and getting him in and facing a left-hander, you have to get him in there," said acting manager Dino Ebel. "He has to get his chance."
Santiago was originally slated to start Tuesday's series opener in Philadelphia, and the Halos have yet to announce who will take his place in the rotation.
Worth noting
• With their win on Saturday, the Angels have won nine of their last 10 games vs. the Blue Jays.
• After hitting a double in the seventh inning on Saturday, all six of Steve Tolleson's hits this season have gone for extra bases (four doubles, two triples).

KyleKatarn: Fine, that's reasonable and I would agree that 2 hours of 7 different automatic patches before playing is annoying. I personally wouldn't really care to use Steam for anything other than multi-player but if they got rid of the DRM crap while keeping quality control I might actually try it and like it. That's not what the thread is about though so I'll let it drop.
The DRM aspect is truly unfortunate, I just tend to take the mindset of "if in 20 years Steam closes down and doesn't patch the games people will spread unofficial patches around like candy and no publisher will care."

The exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR valve) can fail, resulting in the illumination of the Check Engine Light.
2004 Honda Pilot Problem Reports
Newest 2004 Honda Pilot Problem Reports
On some models a faulty Idle Air Control (IAC) valve can cause an engine surge at idle and set a Check Engine Light (MIL). Replacing the faulty IAC valve will commonly correct this problem.
The front brake rotors can warp and cause a vibration when braking. The rotors will need to be machined or in cases where they are worn to thin, replaced to correct this issue.
A rough idle and harsh transmission shift can be caused by a broken front engine mount. Replacing the broken mount will address these issues.
An overheated wire in the head light harness can cause the low beams not to work. Replacing combination light/turn signal switch switch, the wire for the low beams, and the combination switch connector (if damaged) should repair this issue.
The engine may develop and oil leak due to a porous engine block casting. The repair procedure is dependent on where the leak is located. Honda has released a service bulletin covering model year 2003. Honda may offer assistance with repairs, determined on a case by case basis.
A chirp noise from the timing belt area can be caused by a tilted idler pulley. Installing a corrective shim from Honda will commonly correct this issue.
A knock or clunk type noise may be noted from the front suspension over bumps. This is can caused by worm stabilizer (sway) bar links. Replacing both stabilizer bar links will commonly repair this issue.
Carbon build up on the throttle body can cause a sticking throttle. Cleaning the throttle body will commonly repair this issue.
Noise and judder can develop from the rear axle due to differential fluid breakdown. Replacing the fluid will commonly correct this issue.
On certain models a leaking side marker light wire harness can cause a water leak inside the vehicle. Resealing the wire harness where it goes through the body into the cabin area should stop the leak.
On certain models the rear pads can cause a clunk when first braking due to brake pad shims restricting pad slide. Replacing the brake pad shims will fix this problem.
On certain models, the rear blower won't work due to a failed power transistor. Replacing the power transistor will fix this problem.

Chattin' with Pat!
63 comments:
John I recently came across your blog while searching for bags to make for iPads and love the pattern. I enjoyed listening to you on Pat's show today. It was the first time I have actually gotten her show to play on my computer. I am also interested in your on-line magazine. Great Interview!
ReplyDeleteHi John,
I found out about your blog from Munaiba at SewJournal blog. SO this is my first visit. I have a good friend in Cary who is a quilting wanna-be - she has the "stuff" but never gets around to making something. I am a quilter.
I too live in NC - in Nags Head. Give me a yell if you ever get over this way.
AnnetteGreat meeting you, John! What a fabulous giveaway! I'll be visiting your blog often now. Pat is a favorite of mine--so glad that she interviewed you and introduced you to those of us who didn't already know you. I have a couple of great friends who live in Cary, so I'm in your neck of the woods a couple times a year. Going to check out the Fat Quarterly next!

Former Mammoth Lakes Police Department Sergeant Eric Hugelman won a decisive judgment against the Town last week.
Hearing Officer Roberto Morales ruled that Hugelman's termination a year and a half ago was unjustified, and ruled that he should be reinstated.
Morales ruled that Hugelman should have been suspended for three weeks, at most.
Now the question is whether Hugelman will, in fact, rejoin the force, and how much back pay he is entitled to.
The Town Council took up the matter in closed session after Wednesday night's regular meeting, but no decision came out of the session.
However, Hugelman's attorney spoke to the council in a short but impassioned plea.
"I think it's easy to forget about the fact that there's a person behind the decision as well as the family, and I think it's proper that you follow through with Mr. Morales' decision," he said.
"It's well-reasoned and it's based on fact.
"That it would help give closure not only to the Mr. Hugelman but to the Town of Mammoth Lakes.
Police Chief Dan Watson had little to say about the case.
"I don't know where it's going to go," he said.
"The implications are whether he comes back or not. He'll either be back as part of the department or the town will appeal it or something. I don't want to make a prediction."
The hearing officer's opinion is binding unless appealed.
Hugelman was fired by then-police chief Randy Schienle as a result of a bar brawl outside Rusty's in Bishop.
Hugelman was charged with disturbing the peace and challenging a fight, but all charges against him were later dismissed.

ACCA offers exemptions from the ACCA Qualification and Foundation-level qualifications to students who have studied other relevant qualifications. This means you can start your studies at a level that is consistent with the knowledge and skills gained from prior learning and provides you with the quickest route to ACCA membership.
If you have gained additional qualifications after registering as a student, you may be eligible to claim further exemptions, which you can apply for at any time. Please contact ACCA Connect for further information.
A maximum of nine papers at the Fundamentals level of the ACCA Qualification can be awarded. To preserve the integrity and rigour of the ACCA Qualification and to ensure that all students share a common experience, we do not award any exemptions at the Professional level.
Exemptions are also available for the Foundation Level qualifications.
No exemptions are awarded from any of the papers or modules examined within ACCA's suite of post-professional qualifications.
No exemptions are awarded from the ACCA Qualification on the basis of work experience.
Take a look at the exemption enquiry database in the Related Links at the top left of the page, to find out which exemptions you could claim.
Exemptions stop you from having to study the same topics that you have already been taught. This is great if you have recently achieved a qualification, as it's still fresh in your mind. However, if you are thinking of claiming an ACCA exemption based on qualifications you gained years ago, or if you have been working in a field other than accountancy for some time, you may need to take the exam.
Studying for the exam will allow you to refresh your knowledge and will ensure you are sufficiently prepared for the higher level papers, which go into topics in greater depth.
If you are not sure whether to apply for an exemption, why not have a look through our past exam papers? You will find links to past papers under the relevant qualification resources (please see the Related links to the left of this page). If you are not confident you could pass the exam right now, you should study for that paper and take the exam.
If you intend to complete the BSc degree in Applied Accounting, please be aware that Oxford Brookes University gives credit for exemptions awarded to ACCA students for any of the Fundamental level Papers F1 to F6, but a student must sit and pass the ACCA Fundamentals Papers F7, F8 and F9 to be eligible for the BSc degree. Oxford Brookes is not able to give credit for exemptions based on qualifications gained more than 10 years ago.
Download our short guide How to check your exemptions, from the bottom of this page, to find out how to check what exemptions you can claim.
Please note:
You will need to pay a fee for each paper we award an exemption for. Exemptions are charged at the early exam entry fee.
If you wish to apply for a UK or Irish practising certificate and audit qualification in the future there are specific requirements around exams and exemptions.
If you have been awarded exemptions from all papers in the Fundamentals level you are required to complete the Professional level within five years. Also, for a UK practising certificate and audit qualification, if you were awarded any exemptions on the basis of qualifications gained more than five years before registering as a student you will need to forfeit your exemptions and complete those exams.
In addition, to be eligible for a UK or Irish practising certificate and audit qualification you must pass the UK or Irish variants of papers F4 Corporate and Business Law, F6 Taxation, P2 Corporate Reporting and P7 Advanced Audit and Assurance. If you are awarded exemptions from papers F4 and/or F6 but your degree/qualification does not have sufficient coverage of UK or Irish tax and law you will need to pass the UK or Irish variants of papers F4 and/or F6 in order to be eligible for a UK or Irish practising certificate and audit qualification.

This show is horrible. Way too cartoony. Batman Brave and the Bold horrible.
This week on the Ultimate Spider-Man, Spidey and Hawkeye face the Beetle in an aerial battle through the New York skyline. Check out this clip from Sunday's all-new Ultimate Spider-Man, the episode premiers at 11:00 a.m. ET inside Marvel Universe on Disney XD.
This show is horrible. Way too cartoony. Batman Brave and the Bold horrible.
No. Batman Brave and the Bold was stylized and paid homage to the Golden Era of Batman Comics. It pretty much was the intro to the 60's version of Batman come to life. You might not like the style which is fine, but there is a reason it was the way it was.
Ultimate Spider-man is just horrible. I lowers the bar for kids cartoons and is targeted toward an ADHD generation. It unfortunately took the place of the better Spectacular Spiderman which arguably may have been the best representation of Web Head in animated format.
Supposedly, the ratings for Ultimate Spider-man are pretty good.
It's shows like this that hook the younger generations (non comic books fans) on these characters. Thats a big reason why the movies have big audiences. They may not know spiderman from the comics but they know him from tv shows after school.
And just for the record my son can't get enough of ultimate SM.
Anyone that hates on Batman The Brave and the Bold has either never given it chance or has absolutely no sense of humor.
Hell I was one of those people that hated on that show until finally I gave it a shot and watched a few episodes. Second best Batman show ever. Stop hatin'.
Also, that show made me care about Aquaman. Because he was freaking awesome on that show. If Aquaman was written like that for Comics I would buy every issue.
I can't believe they call it ultimate. That line is more hardcore than regular Marvel universe. You never know who they are going to kill and mess with the planet. They should have called it something more kiddie friendly. I am watching it however. It has nuggets of good stuff in it. Beetle is actually more badass in this than regular line. I am looking forward their their sinister 6 match up.
Brave and Bold was hard to watch, but they did have good stories mixed in that also. I liked how batmite broke the 4th wall in the finale.
one last thing, why don't they have Spider-man toon movies for adults like Batman and Superman? Just sayin....direct to dvd would be cool with me. They could do the Marriage storyline with MJ. Clone saga...etc.
Again...everybody (except Clownican) are sticks in the mud. Seriously, this show is fantastic to me. I still say it's more like a "teen Deadpool" show, but I think it works wonderfully for Spidey. Brave and the Bold isn't my favorite, but it is better than Teen Titans.
Ultimate Spidey is a great show, more of a kids to teen comedy show. The art is high quality and the story is a refreshing, happy take on Spidey, no moping around about a long dead uncle. I downloaded the first season but i'm gonna wait for Netflix for the 2nd season, I gotta ween myself off downloading....... maybe after Game of Thrones.
I love watching the show with my 13 year old son. He laughs so hard. He plays Spidey on the Wii all day long and this is a nice tie in time for both of us. I hope this show last a long time. I really enjoy it for what it is.... I grew up with Firestorm and Iceman - This is 100 times better than that!!
Ditto that kinetoscope. I enjoy the show and by comparison to Amazing Friends this is much better.
All these guys today want mature cartoons as if kids didn't exist. It isn't about you all the time

Bionic penguins fly through water … and air
The AquaPenguins could almost pass for their biological cousins
Article Summary
The latest example of biomimicry in robotics to cross our desk is from German electrical automation company Festo, which has used the shape of the acquatic, flightless bird to construct two different types of bionic penguins. The AquaPenguins use the bird's hydrodynamic body contours and wing propulsion to allow the robot to maneuver in cramped spaces, turn on the spot and, unlike their real-life counterparts, swim backwards. The larger helium-filled AirPenguins use the same principles to lift the usually flightless bird into the air.

Silver/Copper/Brass - Tango

This is fantastic! A Mexican Centavo and a Chinese coin are held in one hand while the other hand holds a half dollar. The hands are closed then immediately re-opened, and the coins have changed hands. Your audience will have their heads spinning. The Chinese coin has a hole thru the center which makes the effect even more bewildering.

Why not treat your meeting participant to food that tastes great and that help keep the energy level high? More and more hotels in Denmark focuses on organic and healthy food. Our MINDevent partners are two of them, Radssion Blu's Brain Food Brain Food is a new concept developed by chefs at Radisson Blu hotels for meeting and conference guests.
Young Danish chefs have breathed new life into the famous open sandwich, Smørrebrød, which dates back to the 19th century. Now Danes are hungrier than ever for their traditional lunch.
The concept seeks to speed up meetings to create a short and intensive event. Emphasis is given to dialogue with other participants and with a panel via an interactive IT system. The concept creates a framework for the meeting that seeks to focus and enhance the professional content allowing participants to offer real-time feedback. Furthermore, emphasis is given to hosting an environmentally friendly event where health, organic lifestyle, recycling and environmental issues take centre stage.
With this concept, organisers narrow in on health issues in the workplace. The day is intended as a kick-off event for a new and healthier approach. Emphasis is given to diet, exercise and the physical setup of the workplace. Through exercises in the health centre, participants are encouraged to change their ways and lead a healthier working life resulting in more energy, higher productivity and less illness. Process Before the event, a consultant from the conference venue will help define the objectives of the meeting and their impact on the workplace.
Return on Music is an innovative kick-off event where participants define a product's message using lyrics and music, which they highlight in a professionally produced music video during the meeting. The concept reflects the idea that music is an important element in all aspects of modern society. Music is a powerful and unique tool with which to describe and promote a product. Music speaks to the emotions, raises the spirit, offers motivation and identification and is therefore a useful tool in generating results.
The event focuses on a subject or an area in which the organiser seeks innovation and new developments. In "The Creative Space" participants work within an innovative framework where conference facilities are customised to offer inspiration and promote creativity. The concept is aimed at anyone working with concept development – from manage teams and sales departments to teachers and artist groups.
Participants are drawn into an innovative meeting universe that features more than traditional key-note speakers, group work, exhibitions and coffee breaks. Here they are presented with an array of alternative conference facility layouts and activities that provide renewed energy and increased benefits. The concept embraces all aspects of the event ranging from follow-up to theme features such as flowers, culture or nationality.
The Copenhagen Marriott hotel offers 401 air-conditioned, spacious rooms with exquisite harbor and Copenhagen city views. All the rooms come with luxurious Marriott bedding with down comforters and rich linens. The hotel is renowned for its 13 superlative conference venues, it's fine catering and attention to detail. The hotel is within walking distance to the Copenhagen Central Station or Tivoli Gardens and only a 15-minute drive from the Copenhagen Airport giving easy access to everything you could need in Copenhagen
In an age of all you can eat, all year round, Danish chefs are leading the way in a new wave of gourmet thinking. Slow food over fast food and locally-sourced produce over food shipped from every corner of the planet. That's the essence of New Nordic cuisine, a sustainable, healthy and delicious trend that has taken Scandinavia by storm.
You've probably heard the name, noma, blending the words Nordic and mad (food). But managing to eat there is another matter entirely! Getting a table at the World's Best Restaurant 2014, as voted by renowned Restaurant Magazine, is not so easy. But for those who book ahead, you're in for an extraordinary culinary experience.
The concept has been designed to support all kinds of events with a green and sustainable emphasis. The environmentally conscious and climate-friendly concept is based on a checklist of eco-friendly criteria relevant for a 72-hour congress. There are four general areas of interest where a basic checklist need to be in place for the congress/conference to be considered green:
"Friendly Match with Goal Spree" is a concept that gives participants a sense of ownership and confidence in times of change and new directions. By informing employees about what is taking place and actively involving them in the process through establishing strategy and plans for implementation, everyone is motivated to do their best on the day of the match as well as later on when the plans are to be realised.

New Year's Eve in Denmark is one big party! Many Danes see in the new year with friends and it's not uncommon to see fireworks whizzing around on the streets!

Denmark's capital, Copenhagen, is a great place to experience New Year's Eve, especially when Danes gather at City Hall Square. Find out why here.
Camperbezitters die in Denemarken gebruik maken van de veerdiensten van rederij Færgen zijn voortaan goedkoper uit. De genoemde rederij, die een groot aantal belangrijke veerdiensten onderhoudt, heeft een andere definitie voor campers opgesteld. Deze houdt in dat voor campers die meer dan 3.500 kg wegen niet meer dezelfde prijs betaald hoeft te worden als voor een bus of vrachtwagen. Hierdoor wordt het voor een flink aantal camperbezitters goedkoper om overtochten in Denemarken te maken.

The North of Jutland is an island on the top of Denmark, split from mainland Jutland by the enormous Limfjord. To the north, it juts dramatically out into sea on all sides.

The landscape is beautiful but harsh, with endless white beaches, sand dunes, cliffs, heathland and forests. Witness the bizarre sight of trees bending east from the sheer force of the prevailing wind or take a break from the wind around the sheltered straits, inlets and bays of the Limfjord.

A handheld gaming system that looks like a phone that swallowed a GameBoy.
You mean you can use it as a phone?

what the Hell were the folks at NOKIA smoking when they designed this ghastly device? You actually have to hold the phone with its width next to your ear in order to communicate, and they could have included better launch games which you can only play by first removing the battery and then adding or changing the cartridge. Not to mention the ridiculous price range. Definitely a concept designed for failure.
If NOKIA had designed the cartridge slot on the external part of N-Gage, and designed it more like a pocket calculator like many of NOKIA's cellphone product lines, and cut the price in half, the N-Gage might do a little bit better.

Nokia's failed attempt to join the ranks of Nintendo in the hand held gaming industry. Better known as the digital taco, it is the worst concept concived, holding the record for the earliest price drop in the gaming industry, for having their first price drop after just one week after it's release. Now at the price of $200, it includes 3 free games and one month of pre-paid service for the cellular phone feature, which by the way you have to hold width side to your ear to talk in. Another "put down" feature is that in order to change games, you must remove the battery. So. . .WTF?
N-Gage? N-GAGE!? WHAT A POS IDEA THAT IS! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ANYONE WOULD BUY AN N-GAGE! YOU EVEN BOUGHT ONE! WTF!?!?
No dad, that's my taco.
