If you're a Cardinals fan, there are very few reasons to like Mike Matheny. The team has gotten steadily worse on his watch, and despite him now being in his sixth season, he's seemingly learned precious little about any of the managerial aspects of the game that fans have access to. He might well be the "Leader of Men" in the clubhouse (though given his handling of several players, that's debatable as well), but in the dugout he's a complete imbecile.
But we're treading old ground here. Matheny makes a great punching bag with his constantly inventing new forms of tactical idiocy. Hell, back when I was freelancing, his ineptitude gave me fodder for a column or three every week. The man made me money.
And "making money" seems to be the one thing I admired about Matheny. No, not that he's good at making money—he's a schmuck at that, too—but rather that he wanted his players to get paid.
Matheny has said on more than one occasion that he's aware that saves are the metric by which relievers are evaluated, fairly or unfairly. However meaningless it may be when it comes to constructing a winning team, it's admirable that Matheny wants to help his players get paid in arbitration and free agency.

Peoria, AZ (PressExposure) August 22, 2011 -- It's now more important than ever to have a lawyer on your side when facing a DUI charge in Arizona, according to the criminal defense lawyers at the Law Office of Corso & Rhude.
Legislators in Arizona recently enacted a new law that changes the way DUI trials are handled by the state, taking away the option of a jury trial for non-extreme DUI cases and replacing it with an automatic bench trial. All extreme DUI and second offense DUI charges will still continue to have automatic jury trials.
The Arizona law (SB1200) will take effect Dec. 31 after a petition to place the measure on the 2012 ballot fell short of the required signatures.
"What this means for a defendant is significant," said Christopher Corso, a partner at the Law Office of Corso & Rhude. "Before, we would argue a case in front of a jury of peers of the accused. Now judges are hearing the cases exclusively and that changes the landscape of the trial."
According to Corso, the differences will be substantial. Judges will bring their experience to the case and will factor in much more prominently in the absence of jury.
"The burden of proof hasn't changed but the audience hearing the case has and that means an experienced DUI defense lawyer is now necessary," said Corso, a former Maricopa County prosecutor. "Having an attorney who can negotiate as a result of understanding the prosecution's side is key as is the relationship or trust factor we bring to the case as former prosecutors.
"We bridge the gap between the prosecution and defense. There is a trust present with us that may not exist with other defense attorneys."
Among the concerns Corso and his law partner John Rhude have with the new Arizona DUI law is the impact it will have on plea deals as trials without juries now will be shortened from a full day to just a few hours.
"I anticipate the state will be harsher and more aggressive given the change in the law," Corso said. "It's why having an experienced criminal attorney with excellent negotiating skills is a must. Plea deals will be harder to negotiate and more cases will go to trial because of the expedited nature of the trial schedule now. Defense wins will be harder to achieve, meaning a defendant must choose their attorney wisely."
Corso says it's why such cases require the experienced Arizona DUI defense lawyers at the Law Office of Corso & Rhude. Combined, the Law Office of Corso and Rhude has handled more than 15,000 DUI cases as prosecutors and defense attorneys.
The Law Office of Corso & Rhude works hard to include all family members in the legal process, communicating with their clients and their families every step of the way. Including everyone in the process alleviates stress during the legal process.
The Law Office of Corso & Rhude is well versed in both family law and criminal law. As former Maricopa County prosecutors, they have more than a decade's worth of combined experience in the prosecutor's office. The legal team believes that everyone has the right to experienced attorneys who will fight for their rights, helping to educate their clients in the hopes of lessening the occurrences in the future and including their families in all proceedings.
In addition to DUI defense, the Law Office of Corso & Rhude handles all criminal defense cases, including domestic violence defense, possession of drugs, felony drug charges, photo radar, criminal speeding, disorderly conduct and marijuana possession.
The experienced defense lawyers at Corso & Rhude serve clients throughout Arizona, including the cities of Ahwatukee, Avondale, Buckeye, Chandler, El Mirage, Gilbert, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Sun City, Tempe, Tolleson and Youngtown.
The Law Office of Corso & Rhude, PLLC is located at 9210 W. Union Hills Drive, Suite 102, Peoria, Arizona, 85382. To schedule a free consultation, please visit http://www.corsorhude.com or call (602) 254-3188.

Electric driving pleasure with no compromises. The Audi Q7 e-tron quattro brings forth the future of electric mobility with no limitations. The world's first plugin hybrid with a 6 cylinder TDI engine and quattro drive, the Q7 e-tron offers the best of both worlds - 6.2 seconds 0–100 km/h but fuel consumption of just 1.8 litres in the NEDC. Offers an electric range of up to 56km and a total range of up to 1,320km in combination with the TDI engine. It's more than just another hybrid — it's Audi's comprehensive approach to sustainable mobility.
The design of the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro strikes a balance between powerful, precision design language and elegant understatement. All of its lines and surfaces are finished precisely and concisely. The car's width and solidity is emphasised. Its tailgate embraces the steeply angled D-pillars, which is typical of the Q models from Audi.
Design elements, such as the wrap-around, i.e. the great arc around the driver and passenger, decorative strips or the linear array of air vents emphasise the interior's spaciousness. The two-part application surfaces allow many individual combinations; the range of cover materials corresponds to that of luxury class cars.
Many of the materials in the elegant Audi design selection range are new to the Q family. No compromises have been made regarding the workmanship, as is typical for Audi.
The lithium-ion battery is composed of 168 high-quality battery cells and liquid cooled. Its 17.3 kWh capacity permits a 56 kilometre range during electric operation - another record in the segment. The new Q7 e-tron quattro features the new two-phase charging technology, which permits charge connections of up to 7.2 kW.
As a result, depending on the infrastructure (a correspondingly powerful industrial plug socket) and the charging cable, a full battery charge can be achieved in approximately two and a half hours.
The Audi Q7 e-tron quattro offers the most spacious interior in its segment. The luggage compartment holds 650 litres in its normal set-up and 1,835 litres at maximum. Design elements, such as the wrap-around, i.e. the great arc around the driver and passenger, decorative strips or the linear array of air vents emphasise the interior's spaciousness.

We are taught that true freedom is living without material anchors -- but it's obvious some objects have more sentimental value than others. As Athens prepares to celebrate its 200th birthday, one art show is celebrating those objects maintained through long ancestral lines, valued for their beauty and history. Antiques carry stories, and family archives somehow induce a mystical sense of bonding with kin in an experience that is easier to just feel rather than admit.
In this vein of honoring Athens' artistic progressions and those who defined the path, ''Athens Treasures: A Bicentennial Celebration by the Athens Historical Society'' is on display at the Georgia Museum of Art through March 18, with an opening Sunday, Jan. 21.
The most modern pieces in the show come from the 1960s, lending quite an historic perspective of Athens art. Many of the items have been in families for generations, passed down and kept on ordinary display in the home. When Ashley Brown, curator of decorative arts at the museum, viewed the treasures of solicited families, she had to resist her instincts to whisk each one away for proper display, she says.
''These pieces, of course, are their prized possessions and should be,'' says Brown. ''This is a chance for people to see the works in a different light. You go into someone's home and you might not notice these pieces ... when you put them on a pedestal, you realize their importance to the community as well as to the families.''
This secretary, measuring more than 10 1/2 feet tall, once belonged to T.R.R. Cobb.Dot Paul/Photo staff
Almost 100 pieces are included in the show; if there had been more room, there would have been even more.
''It was difficult to pare down the items,'' recalls Tom Wilfong, director of development at the museum and vice president of the Athens Historical Society. ''We could have had a much larger exhibit ... but there's not enough space for it. I would say that we easily could have included 500 items in the show.''
What did make it into the show is an impressive display of Athens' artistic development, from rustic equipment and furnishings of the first settlers to more refined items as the area flourished into burgeoning educational and industrial wealth.
Paintings and gelatin silver prints devoted to the playful and majestic Tallulah Falls line the Martha Thompson Dinos Gallery. Known Athenians are here, captured in moments of comfortable luxury; Lucy Cobb students assemble in a starchy cluster at Tallulah Gorge. As in other photographs -- particularly an 1895 sepia-tinted portrait of solemn University of Georgia football players, dressed in antiquated uniforms and casually draping their arms over each others' shoulders -- there is an uncanny sense of present-day personalities on these faces of long ago.
This silver service, made by 19th-century Athens silversmith Asaph K. Childs, bears the inscribed message: ''A token of affectionate remembrance from the Citizens of Athens to the Rev. Alonzo Church, D.D., 1856.''Special
The Rowland and Letitia Radford Gallery houses predominantly mid-18th century furniture. Here, ingenuity and simplicity form the pieces -- an oblong, wooden dough bowl smoothed with age, a dimpled iron cook pot, a pine chest. Examining a spindly-legged wooden high chair, Brown notes that ''you get up close and you can see it's almost right off the tree.''
Mid-19th century work is in the Lamar Dodd Gallery. A small photo of Julia Pope Moss hangs next to the crazy quilt -- those quilts composed of asymmetrical, almost haphazardly pieced materials -- she made in 1883. In the photo, an elderly woman primly stitches what appears to be a lacy doily; it stands in sharp contrast to the quilt, still vibrant despite fading or disintegrating fabric. A ribbon from an 1883 Confederate reunion at Tallulah Falls mingles with soft blues and purples.
T.R.R. Cobb's portrait looks down upon his belongings in this gallery, some of which have been reunited after many years for this show. Cobb helped found the UGA law school in 1859 and the Lucy Cobb Institute; he was also a Confederate general. His hulking secretary measures more than 1012 feet tall -- a formidable height, and perhaps fitting for a man who loomed so prominently in Athens. A trace of use remains inside the desk, where a scrap of old paper appears lacquered to the surface next to an ink blot.
T.R.R. Cobb's older brother, Howell Cobb, is represented with his porcelain tureen. The older Cobb was secretary of the treasury of President James Buchanan's Cabinet; Cobb's china was almost identical to Buchanan's, except the state seal of Georgia graces the Cobb china.

Also in this gallery are varying views of Athens from Carr's Hill, a site off Oconee Street near downtown that seems to be an artistic muse of sorts -- or else simply serves as a reasonable height from which to observe and create by. There are paintings of these views by George Cooke and Lamar Dodd. And in the Martha and Eugene Odum Gallery, next to bowls created by Ann Orr, who spent most of her life at Carr's Hill, is a watercolor of the famous view from the Hill by Harold Wescott.
''When you used to come to Athens by railroad, and maybe by stage coach too, there was not a bridge across the Oconee,'' notes Wilfong. ''Carr's Hill was as far as you could go. It's a logical point to paint.'' And indeed, the hub of Athens is captured in these works, with the small sprawl of UGA buildings rising above a thick grove of trees and the smattering of buildings along the river.
Finally, the Odum Gallery captures those works created in the 20th century, as Athens was maturing into a richly artistic environment. Martha Odum's 1942 watercolor, ''Saturday in Athens in the Spring near Jackson and Broad Street,'' is a gently bustling scene of parked and zooming cars, business awnings shading throngs of people and even a hint of ''The Ritz'' theater in the background.
Jean Nevitt Flanigan's watercolors present industrial scenes in a different way. After graduating from the Lucy Cobb Institute and studying in Pennsylvania, Flanigan enrolled in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps in 1943 and was stationed in Paris. Preserving images of the city after the Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944, Flanigan's paintings are of desolate, cold, gray streets and slightly warmer interiors of men and women working over maps on large drafting boards, against the very Parisian presence of looming windows and decorative ironwork.
Ann Orr's sterling silver and enameled bowls, fashioned in the 1960s, represent a time of rich artistic growth in Athens history.Dot Paul/Photo staff
Amanda Elizabeth Mitchell Neal's quilt places scarlett flowers -- the cactus dahlia, as the quilt itself states in silk embroidery floss -- against gold fields. Neal, an African-American, was a businesswoman and seamstress who operated a grocery store with her husband. A few stains have spread across the quilt; an odd transient color of gray hides the original color of the blossoms' stems. But perhaps because of its time-worn features, this quilt seems to hold in its stitches the lives of those who passed it from one generation to the next.
In its graceful elderliness is the treasure.

McGourty helps Gall's go extra mile
DRAMA ruled at Parnell Park on Saturday night where St Gall's triumphed over a gallant Corofin to clinch their place in the final on St Patrick's Day.
The Northern champions overcame the second-half loss of centre-back Anthony Healy for two yellow-card offences to romp their way into the final after extra-time.
They were restored to 15 men due to that weird rule that allows a team reduced to 14 in normal time get back to full strength in extra-time.
It's a daft concept and that was highlighted when Corofin had Gary Sice sent off in the third minute of extra-time. Sice incurred a second yellow for a tussle with Kevin Niblock.
No problem with the yellow -- but surely if effectively a red card is null and void for extra-time, then previous yellows should also be discarded.
The loss of Sice at such a stage of a physically and mentally draining encounter helped tip the balance in St Gall's favour and they went from being level at 1-9 each at the end of normal time to scoring six more points, while Corofin could only manage two, in that extra 20-minute period.
Conor 'CJ' McGourty was the Gall's hero, scoring 1-9, including eight points from frees, but he refused to take the credit as the emotions of the Belfast team and their supporters overflowed at the end of an exciting evening's football.
The scenes on Saturday were a stark contrast to a fortnight before when St Gall's Intermediate Hurling team lost the All-Ireland final to Kilkenny's St Lachtain's at Croke Park.
CJ McGourty was on that defeated side but Saturday night made up for that setback -- and now he looks forward to atoning for the 2006 All-Ireland football final loss to Salthill-Knocknacarra.
"There were tears in my eyes when we got beaten in 2006 and there's tears in my eyes tonight because we knew we were going back to Croke Park," he said.
"It's motivation but we've got a hell of a task ahead of us. We'll enjoy tonight but Kilmurry are a great team as they showed last week. We've a lot to improve on but if we bring our 'A' game to the table, we can beat them," he said.
Healy's sending-off after 47 minutes, when the score was 1-7 to Gall's and 1-6 to Corofin, could have seriously undermined their challenge, but in the last 16 minutes -- the ref added three extra minutes -- the Belfast boys dug deep.
"We were down to 14 men but I know these boys inside out. I knew they weren't going to give in, and that's what's special about our club," added McGourty.
"We call ourselves brothers, the panel, the supporters, that's what Gall's is all about. We're a family club and I knew we were still going to be there at the end."
Corofin manager Gerry Keane rightly praised his men for their courage and also identified the first-half inaccuracy from good scoring chances which cost the Galway champions dearly.
"It was an incredible game," he said. "I thought in the second half of normal time our lads stood up to the mark and really put in a superb performance.
"Unfortunately it wasn't to be. The work rate of the Gall's guys, their attacking, and their extra men coming forward, we didn't have the answer to that.
"We probably missed too many scores in the first half. We were three points down at half-time and we felt we could have been two or three points up. We paid the price for that in the end," said Keane.
CJ McGourty got the Gall's goal after 14 minutes when he pushed the ball home following good opportunism by Kevin McGourty who blocked down an attempted clearance by Tony Goggins.
Indeed, if Kieran Comer hadn't snatched a goal just before half-time, when he stole in between Gall's keeper Ronan Gallagher and full-back Andrew McClean to punch the ball home, Corofin would have really struggled.
They entered the second half 1-2 to 1-5, a far more healthy prospect than would otherwise have been the case.
Comer's two points and two great scores by Alan O'Donovan levelled the match at 1-7 each after 49 minutes and it was an intense struggle all the way from there.
O'Donovan answered a CJ point to level them again at 1-8 each in the 58th minute, only for McGourty again to put Gall's into the lead a minute later.
In time added on Sice became the Corofin hero when he kicked the equaliser that took the game into extra-time, but once he got his marching orders, the tide turned in Gall's' favour.
Scorers -- St Galls: CJ McGourty 1-9 (0-8f), S Kelly 0-2, Kevin McGourty, Kieran McGourty, P Veronica, S Burke 0-1 each. Corofin: K Comer 1-6 (0-5f), A O'Donovan 0-3 (0-2f), G Sice, D Morris 0-1 each.
St Galls -- Ronan Gallagher; P Veronica, A McClean, C Brady; M Kelly, A Healy, S Kelly; A Gallagher, S Burke; Kevin McGourty, Rory Gallagher, T O'Neill; CJ McGourty, K Niblock, Kieran McGourty.

Creating Custom Evernote E-mail Addresses with ENAddress
I would be drowning in e-mail if it weren't for Evernote. As soon as I found out that I could forward items to my Evernote e-mail address, I immediately began sending anything that I might want to keep long term to Evernote so I didn't have to dig through my e-mail.
My challenge was it was difficult for me to remember the detailed syntax to have the messages automatically file in the correct notebook so they would end up in my .Inbox (default) notebook. I would then have to file them into the proper notebook which meant I was still touching the e-mails twice. It was better than the alternative of leaving the messages in my e-mail, but it was still not as efficient as I would have liked.
Stacey to the rescue! Stacey found ENAddress, a new service that lets you create custom e-mail addresses and point them to specific Evernote notebooks. You don't have to remember a lengthy subject syntax and everything ends up in the correct notebook. Score!
To setup EnAddress, you register your Evernote e-mail address and connect your Evernote account.
Then, you create custom addresses for each type of item that you want to auto-file.
I created e-mail addresses for receipts, press releases, stock photos and upcoming reservations. I then added each of those addresses to my e-mail contacts. Now, when I want to send something to my press release or stock photos notebook, I can forward it to that address.
For receipts, I took one extra step. I know that I want every receipt to be saved to my .Receipts to reconcile notebook. Rather than having to forward them, I setup an IFTTT recipe to send all e-mails containing the word receipt to my new ENAddress receipts e-mail address.
Yes, the recipe will capture a few messages that aren't receipts, but I'd rather err on the side of caution and delete a few items from the notebook than miss a receipt.
The creators of ENAddress are my new heroes! Thanks for saving me so much time and enhancing my productivity even more.
P.S. If you aren't on an Evernote Plus or Premium account, this feature alone is worth the price of the upgrade!

Landowners Appreciation Day is time for private property owners and their families to enjoy spending time with one another and be thanked for their contributions to hunting in Wisconsin.

By Correne Martin
For 27 years, the Bluff Country Long Spurs have hosted Landowners Appreciation Day in Prairie du Chien the Sunday after Father's Day. It's one of five events of its kind held across the state to say thank you to private property owners for allowing hunters to utilize their fields and wooded areas without charge.
"It's one of those great days. The landowners say they appreciate it," said Bob Ziel, the chapter's appreciation day chair. "They don't see each other through the year so it's a chance to sit and talk."
The first year, in 1990, there were 150 people and, at one point, the occasion drew just shy of 600 people. Yet, in more recent years, about 240 landowners and family members have attended the local gathering.
The Prairie du Chien Common Council has decided to enter negotiations with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for a small piece of surplus DOT land that remained after the Highway 18 Bypass project years ago.
The land in consideration includes a section bounded by the city's wastewater treatment plant, Lockwood Street, the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad tracks and campground property, as the council discussed Tuesday night.
"There's some additional land there and the council wishes to negotiate with the DOT to see if they can agree on a plan that might be beneficial to the city," noted City Administrator Art Osten.
No specific plans for that property have been released.
Brunson/Fowler alleys flooding
When heavy rains occur in Prairie du Chien, flooding has tended to be an issue in the area of Brunson and Fowler Streets, where they intersect with 9th and 10th Streets.

By Rachel Mergen
Jonathan Breuer, at the age of 16, was officially the first to ever qualify, compete and win at National Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) for River Ridge. He traveled to Anaheim, Calif., earlier this month with FBLA members Bea Mumm and his sister Rebecca, his adviser Tina Dilley and her husband Troy, for a life-changing experience that would lead to third place in the nation.
"I did the project so I could learn," Jonathan said as he looked back on the simple start of a long journey. FBLA had determined the topic of his contest, 3D animation, as "Go Green." He began researching and brain-storming about this theme in September 2016. For the next six months, he would find himself spending hundreds of hours creating what would eventually, according to Tina, "completely blow the judges away."
"The beautiful area and small community is amazing. [It's] so close you can't go anywhere without running into someone you know. It makes Wauzeka very welcoming and a great place to live," Kylie Zimmerman, Wauzeka resident, exclaimed about the community she calls home. Zimmerman is a member of the young adult population in the small municipality of 721 people.
Recently, University of Wisconsin-Madison graduates and faculty declared the town's Millenial and Generation X population as one of the fastest growing in the state.
The goal of the study, titled the Engaging Young People Research Project, is to "find how positive forms of community development attract and retain young adults," according to the group of researchers who took the lead.
The daughters of Mary J. Stevens, 61, of Prairie du Chien, regretfully announce her passing on July 18.
Mary was born Sept. 14, 1955, in Prairie du Chien, the daughter of Theodore and Edna (Steiner) Vanderbilt. She worked as a pharmacy technician for Wal-Mart in Prairie du Chien for nearly 30 years.
On July 9, at 11:06 p.m., a deputy with the Crawford County Sheriff's Office was patrolling County Road B near Morkrid Drive in the township of Utica. The deputy came upon a 1997 Toyota RAV 4 parked partially in the eastbound lane of traffic with its hazard lights flashing.
The driver was identified as Kimberly K. Brown, 37, Gays Mills, and the passenger, Ryan T. Melvin, 29, Readstown. Brown and Melvin provided the deputy with two different responses about why their vehicle was parked in the roadway. Melvin was acting nervous while speaking with the deputy.

Two teenagers from different parts of the world became close friends in Prairie du Chien this past year thanks to the Rotary Youth Exchange program.
Kamryn Tesar, of Prairie du Chien, and Magnus Goltermann, of Ballerup, Denmark, are 16-year-old exchange students with quite similar interests and outlooks. Magnus came to Wisconsin in August 2016 and Kamryn will leave her hometown next month for Dounan, Yunlin County, Taiwan.
In March 2016, Kamryn, the daughter of Kim Corpian and Kevin Tesar, had been approved for an overseas exchange and, expressing a desire to know more about the program, became connected online with Magnus, who was soon to embark on his journey to the United States. Cheryl Mader, the Prairie du Chien Rotary Club's youth exchange coordinator, helped bring the pair together. The two were fast friends; Kamryn even went along when Magnus was picked up at the airport last summer.

Japanese researchers have found that traditional Chinese herbal remedy known as Kenpo, could relieve the symptoms of asthma in more than 200 people.North American experts allergists believe these preliminary findings are promising.Further research is needed before they can recommend an herbal treatment.Dr. Ёshiteru Shimoide, head of the International Clinic of Medicine in Kagoshima, Japan, presented the findings at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergology and Immunology (AAAI).
number of people with asthma is increasing.According to the Center for Prevention and Disease Control in the United States, 2009, one of 12 people suffering from asthma, compared with 2001, when the asthma suffered 1 out of 14 people."There is no cure for asthma, but most people can deal with the symptoms, reduce the severity of their disease, prevent asthma attacks, and correctly use their prescribed medications, such as steroid inhalers," - say the experts of the Center for Prevention and Disease Control, USA.
«There is something to strive for," - said Shimoide - "The fact that Kempo can help combat the symptoms of asthma, scientists have learned by chance, during testing it as a product of the allergic skin lesions known as atopic dermatitis."His team studied 278 people suffering from asthma symptoms daily.Of these, 52 participants received standard treatment (usually inhaled steroids and bronchodilators) and 226 were treated with herbs Kempo."In 94% of patients taking herbs Kempo symptoms have completely disappeared in 16 days", - said Shimoide.
On the other hand, about three-quarters of those taking standard medications for asthma are still suffering symptoms such as wheezing.Side effects need further study.Side effects of herbs Kempo in the study have not been studied.The main problem of this method of treatment is the quality of herbs.There were cases when poisonous plants fall into the herbal mixture, resulting in kidney damage.The mixture Kempo grasses typically contains in the form of an established formulas.Every herb in the composition is aimed at correcting certain imbalances in the body of the patient.The herbal mixture includes, in particular, the roots of Scutellaria, goldthread fruit gardenia Hoelen, cinnamon and liquorice (licorice root).
Asked to comment on the results, Peter Kretikos, MD, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, said - "This is an interesting observation that needs further study.""One of the problems in carrying out preliminary work was the fact that people know that they are taking herbal medicines," - said Kretikos."The fact is that if people are taking drugs or herbal medicines, they think that these drugs help in the treatment of disease and 40% of patients say that they have really helped," - explained Kretikos.
also warns that you can not self-medicate."As long as the safety of the herbal mixture is proven in further studies, people should take them only within the framework of clinical trials," - says Kretikos."However, the AAAI appeal evidence that herbal therapy has anti-inflammatory action, which also struggles with the main cause of asthma, as they support research in this area", - says William Silver, MD, former head of the Committee on Complementary and Alternativemedicine.
The results are presented at a medical conference.They should only be regarded as preliminary, because it does not have passed a peer review process where prior to publication in a medical journal independent experts scrutinize the data.

GUSTAV KLIMT'S 'Die Medizin'.
(photo credit:ISRAEL MUSEUM)
The Israel Museum announced on Tuesday the acquisition of Gustav Klimt's Die Medizin (Kompositionsentwurf) (1897-1898), the artist's only remaining oil study for a controversial series of monumental paintings created for the University of Vienna's Great Hall. Commissioned by Austria's Ministry of Culture and Education in 1894, Die Medizin is one of three allegorical panels representing the themes of enlightenment Klimt developed for the Great Hall's ceiling. All three works were later destroyed by retreating German SS forces in May 1945.

Wow that is just gorgous watching and a fan now.
What an awesome job you did there, really wonderful!
Great job!!! I would love to see this picture on my wall.
Wonderful scene you have created, I love it
I've always had a strange fascination of cities at night. The lights, the colours, the men standing on the street and the neon lights: everything about this fascinates me. Congratulations for a beautiful work.
They are beautiful indeed. I would love to travel to Hong Kong or Tokyo to see some of the streets at night there.
Woah! Reminds me of Blade Runner
Oh man, that is just so damn cool.
Looks like something right out of Arkham City (one of my favorite games). The atmosphere is breaking the fourth wall right now. I feel like I'm there. Love what you did with the rain.
You're amazing at making background ;;
Right in there, so wild. Love it.
A dark night in a city that knows how to keep its secrets...
Gosh, the lighting in this, and the atmosphere, I just like everything about it. Love the way the dark areas such as the clothes aren't really super dark, it just gives it more depth.
Nice work! Congrats on the DD
Excellently done! All the little details are just right. Congrats on the Daily Deviation!
ohhh looks like a scene right out of a movie. Great job with the depth of field, that rain is just amazing. You really captured it. I love the little glint of light from the cig. So smart. congrats on a well deserved DD

During student days, most of us have pulled all-nighters especially before exams. Nowadays, most of us have got used to such situations as our job demands may sometimes make us stretch limits in order to reach targets.

Actually, depriving yourself of sleep or ignoring the quality of sleep are bad for health; but most of us have already started doing it.
If your sleep habits are irregular, the first thing to do is to quit the habits of smoking and drinking alcohol. Also, reduce your caffeine consumption.
Also Read: Health Benefits Of Hing
Your health may go for a toss if you are sleep deprived and also filled with toxins. Now, let us discuss about what to do if you haven't slept all night.
Fatigue Causes Dehydration
Generally, when you don't sleep, your body may feel tired and dehydrated. Drink lots of water and stay hydrated. Never mind the continuous visits to the loo as they may also help you stay awake.
Keep Your Body Active
Choose to be active and try to boost your blood circulation. Perform some light exercise that makes you energetic and also speeds up your metabolism. This is important as your body tends to slow down a bit when you haven't slept for a night.
Don't Overeat
As you haven't slept properly the night before, don't eat excessively as your body may fail to digest the food properly. Also, don't take in a high-carb diet. A heavy diet may also make you feel sleepy and may kill your productivity. Eat something that keeps you alert; for example: fish, chicken, yoghurt and vegetables.
Get Some Sun
When you are sleep deprived and feel like sleeping in the day, get some sunlight. It helps you get some vitamin D and also boosts your mood and focus. Also, a tired immune system may also get a boost when you get some sunlight.
Cold Bath
When you take a cold shower, your whole system gets a sudden jolt which keeps you awake and alert.
Spice Up The Day
Have an exciting chat with colleagues, watch some interesting websites or videos, have a cup of tea and try to make your day more interesting especially when you didn't have proper sleep on the previous night.
Chew A Gum
Certain studies say that chewing a gum may beat your sleepy mood as it activates certain areas in your brain. As a gum's effect stays only for a short span, remember not to expect too much from it.

By Associated Press,
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea has caused a new stir with photos on the front page of its ruling party newspaper Wednesday that show the country's leader Kim Jong Un standing beside a purported mock-up of a miniaturized nuclear warhead during a meeting with his top nuclear scientists.
The Rodong Sinmun newspaper for the Workers' Party said Kim met his nuclear scientists for a briefing on the status of their work and declared he was greatly pleased that warheads had been standardized and miniaturized for use on ballistic missiles.
The party newspaper photos showed Kim and the scientists standing by what outside analysts say appears to be the model warhead — a small, silverish globe presented on a low table in a hangar with a ballistic missile or a model ballistic missile in the background.
South Korea's Defense Ministry said Wednesday it was analyzing the objects shown in the North Korean photos.
Pyongyang has previously said it has nuclear warheads small enough to put on long-range missiles, but experts have questioned such claims.
This was the first time the North has publicly portrayed what its designs look like, though it remains unclear whether the North has a functioning warhead of that size or if it is simply trying to develop one.
North Korea warned Monday of pre-emptive nuclear strikes after the United States and South Korea began holding their biggest-ever war games, which will go on until the end of April. Tensions have been high after North Korea's recent nuclear test and rocket launch, which prompted the United Nations to adopt tough new sanctions.
The North claims it tested its first H-bomb in the Jan. 6 nuclear test, which was followed last month by the launch of a rocket that put a satellite into orbit but which is seen as a violation of U.N. resolutions because it contains dual-use technology that could also be applied to long-range ballistic missiles.
Its development of smaller nuclear weapons and long-range missiles that could be used to deliver them to targets overseas has long been a matter of concern and could potentially shake up the security balance in Asia.
If the North succeeds in developing a credible warhead and missile, it would most deeply impact the United States, South Korea and Japan, but Russia and China, which are friendlier to the North, have strongly denounced its nuclear program.
Associated Press writers Hyung-jin Kim in Seoul and Eric Talmadge in Tokyo contributed to this report.

(Buy) ONE (1) 12 PK. of Tecate or Tecate Light $2.00
ONE (1) 18PK, 20PK. or 24PK of Tecate or Tecate Light $4.00

Inmar Rebate Center - Attn: Tecate Rebate - Program: HUSA#8267 - PO Box 4260008
I went to the nearby "Rite Aid" store and purchased a case of 30 Tecate beer. Immediately mailed the required documents (Rebate Form-properly completed, Store Receipt - clearly documenting the purchase - and the barcode. The last sentence in their "Terms" states: Note: Allow 8 to 10 weeks for delivery of rebate check.Since nothing has arrived during the next 12 weeks, on Sep. 3, 2010 I again mailed a copy of my supporting documents to the address above. To date, I have not received neither the rebate check nor any correspondance from anyone.
Obviously, I am very angry - not about the few dollars (after spending 88 cents on stamps, it amounts to only $5.12) but the Ripoff, that these people may get away with. I am confident, that my case is not the only one!
I believe, that someone with authority should look into this case and justify what needs to be justified!
I have copies of all my correspondance with said company.

This happened to me before!

Today I filed a Repoff report and what do you know? A few hours later the mailman delivers me a postcard, stating that my request was denied due to the reasons listed:
1/ Register receipt not submitted or not an original.
2/ Reg Recpt did not contain a valid purchase date.
They instruct me to call 1-877-819-4280 or visit: www.cmspromocheck.com
Yes, I understand, that now I have a phone number to call or an e-mail address to complain. But WHY!!!!!
This card evidently was a (late) response to my original complaint where OBVIOUSLY the information I submitted was a copy of the original.
Since my original submission of required material was faultless and complete this company is doing nothing else but banking on the idea, that a lot of people get fed-up with their game and just give up. They are con-artists!
Tomorrow I will call the number, they provided me with and tell them about this filing. Will see what happens.
Regardless of the outcome, their method of operation is (to be polite) distasteful.

Published: Friday 29th May 2015 by The News Editor
The first Sun journalist to be found guilty over payments to a public official in the wake of the Operation Elveden police investigation has been spared jail.
Crime reporter Anthony France, 41, from Watford, cultivated a "corrupt relationship" with Pc Timothy Edwards over four years, his trial at the Old Bailey heard.
While working at Heathrow Airport in SO15 counter-terrorism command, Pc Edwards, 49, sold 38 stories and titbits of information to the journalist in exchange for more than £22,000.
Last week, he was found guilty of aiding and abetting Pc Edwards to commit misconduct in a public office between March 2008 and July 2011.
Today, Judge Timothy Pontius sentenced him to 18 months suspended for two years, describing him as a jo urnalist of "hitherto unblemished character" who was "essentially a decent man of solid integrity".
He also ordered France to complete 200 hours of unpaid work and awarded prosecution costs of just under £35,000 on the understanding that News International would take responsibility and foot the bill.
The judge highlighted the underlying culture of paying people for stories at the Sun, a practice which was "promoted, supported and encouraged" at all levels.
He told the court, packed with journalists: "It was, and apparently remains, the practice of the Sun newspaper, and I dare say many others, to pay members of the public for their stories. Their practice is promoted, supported and encouraged at the paper at all levels within the internal structure.
"It is a practice that is certainly not improper itself, less is it to be condemned, least of all by me as long as it does not involve encouragement by a journalist to anyone holding public office to abuse their trusted position for payment by providing confidential information in order it might be used to feed the public appetite for news that sometimes amounts to nothing more than titillating gossip."
Judge Pontius said he did not doubt that many of the articles France wrote were in the public interest and "in the pursuit of responsible investigative journalism", although a minority were "obviously salacious" and breached privacy.
He said payment for stories went through a clearly recognised and accepted procedure at the Sun and it was not a case of France handing over a "grubby envelope" in a dark corner of a pub.
"The defendant was following an accepted procedure that had existed for some time. He had not recruited Timothy Edwards himself, he had inherited him from a colleague."
On his decision to suspend sentence, Judge Pontius said a journalist should expect a sentence of roughly half that of a public officer because of their lesser role in the misconduct.
But in this case, it would not be in the public interest to jail France, whom he described as "an experienced journalist of hitherto unblemished character … essentially a decent man of solid integrity and social responsibility".
Earlier, in mitigation, Adrian Keeling QC said: "First and foremost, Mr France did not deliberately do something that he knew to be criminally wrong.
"If there was a wrong culture, as clearly the jury found, it is not one of Mr France's making. It was inevitably created by others for their benefit and sustained by others for their benefit."
He said that, since no one else has been convicted or stands to be punished, it was inevitable that Mr France would feel the "inequality" of that.
He added: "There is a sense it is Mr France who held the most junior full-time position to hold at the Sun that stands to be punished for the whole system."
As a result of the conviction, the overwhelming likelihood is he will lose his job. Mr Keeling said that will be a personal tragedy for France.
The lawyer added that News International had indicated that it would not be prepared to pay France's prosecution costs but his family has offered to help as far as they were able.
The judge said that, if this proved to be the case, the matter could be brought back to court and the order adjusted.
France is the only journalist to be successfully tried following the controversial Elveden investigation and the first since the Crown Prosecution Service's root-and-branch review last month which led to charges being dropped against nine out of 12 newspaper staff still awaiting trial.
The trial heard that Edwards passed on details ranging from airline pilots being breathtested to a drunken model flying into a rage after "catching her boyfriend romping with a woman next to him".
But France denied wrongdoing, telling jurors he had never been advised by anyone at the Sun that speaking to a police officer – or any public official – might be against the law.
Asked what he would have done if he thought talking to Edwards might be illegal, he said: "I would never have got involved with it. I would have told him to get lost. I'm a man of good character not involved in crime."
The court heard that Edwards was "given" to France as a source. After they met at a pub in 2008, he was told by a colleague "I've spoken to a lawyer and it's fine", he said.
France also told jurors of his difficulties working for a "homophobic bully" in the office who stripped him of his crime reporter title in 2010.
The jury in France's trial was not told that Edwards pleaded guilty to misconduct in a public office and was jailed for two years in 2014.
Reporters from the Sun, as well as other newspapers, filed into the Old Bailey courtroom, occupying every spare seat on the press bench, in the public gallery, and even the jury box.
Afterwards, France embraced family members and colleagues as he left court.

Las Vegas is fun any time of the year, but in the winter months temperatures are in the 50s to 60s, so it's perfect for getting away from the truly cold places during the wintery months. There are hundreds of casinos, shows, tasty buffets, and the theme hotels have some great rates, along with some fun things unique to each of them. Plus, if you want to save even more, you can stay in a hotel off the main strip. In addition, it's the off season so flights to Las Vegas are often pretty cheap, so have some fun, remember, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!"
Puerto Rico is a fantastic tropical adventure that can brighten those dark winter nights and warm you up through cheap prices on hotels, sandy beaches, and a lively nightlife. Best of all, Puerto Rico is a US territory so you won't need a passport to get there and you can shop and pay for everything with US dollars. There is lots to do like visit the rainforest, check out the museums, and enjoy the great local food.
If sunning yourself beside a pool at a great hotel with a cool drink in your hand sounds like heaven when you look at the window at home and see all that snow and ice, then come to Palm Springs! Some of the top attractions include the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway in Chino Canyon, or the Soak City Water Park with its two seven story high speed slides, and its 800,000 gallon Wave Pool, and more. Or head to the Palm Springs Air Museum if you like WWII artifacts and other aviation treasures, or if you like zoos and botanical gardens, don't miss the Living Desert, a 250 acre are with a nature preserve and animals like wolves, mountain lions, cheetahs, giraffes and more.
Winter is the best time to get out of town and go to Key West to lie out on a warm beach and enjoy the sunshine. Other great things to do in Key West include checking out the aquarium, touring the home of writer Ernest Hemmingway, heading to the famous Duval street to have a beer, and more. There's also great local seafood, and the temperatures are in the 70s! Come and have some fun in the sun.
New Orleans is a fascinating city any time of the year, but in the winter it's a great getaway. You can listen to some southern music, eat some world renowned meals, learn about voodoo, and tour some great old mansions. Plus, by winter the threat of hurricane season is over so there's none to mess up your vacation. The nightlife is unsurpassed, plus there is lots of shopping venues, a great aquarium, and plenty of souvenir places in a 10 block strip on Canal Street. Or if you prefer, there are art museums, jazz fests, parks, and more!

Scottish Minister admits slow progress on sustainable development
The Scottish Executive has set out how it intends to beef up arrangements for delivering sustainable development following a critical review of its work last autumn. It is promising much - but Environment Minister Ross Finnie let slip at a parliamentary hearing in December how frustrated he is with his colleagues at their slow pace in integrating sustainability into their policies.

Breaking the conventional idea, I wish to reach and convey to my listeners that there should be no shying away from this issue. We should treat this problem as no different than other diseases like diabetes, typhoid, etc,. The longer we hesitate in curing this problem, the stronger it becomes. People with this disease remain unknown, just because people don't accept the fact that they have a sexual disorder. Please forget about your ego for a moment and start doing something about this.

Discussion in 'Reloading' started by Zombie Steve, May 16, 2011.
More good information that the newbs won't read.
Oh my God I just looked that up. I don't want to know how you know what that is.
One more hint for new reloaders hanging out here... ignore Little Stevie.
Nicely done, Steve! Gets my vote for a Sticky too! Wish I'd been able to find something in this vein a couple of years ago!
Me too. That's why I typed it out. None of this stuff is anything I invented, but I thought it would help folks just starting out.
Actually, this is the second time I've typed it all out. Fwdftw used up so much space in my PM box I thought I'd just throw it all out here.
Little Stevie is introducing smut into Zombie's hoped to become sticky.
Banish him on the general principal that no one can even believe he had any idea what the term meant.
Of course he was probably referring to the ex-senator.
I am going to delete my stuff.
Hail Zombie!
It's not nice to make promises you don't intend to keep.
Thanks Steve. Great stuff to back to review from time to time for a 1 yr newbie like me.
You did a great job Steve, I admire your desire to help, but I wonder if it just makes some guys lazy. SOme newbs see no need for loading manuals either, "I'll just go online & ask for a recipe". A worthy effort, hopefully they will still get & read a reloading primer. If I sound cynical, it's because I am. You see all the questions that get asked here, most can be answered by reading a book. Sorry, bad Monday.
Jack said the same thing when I was on the phone with him earlier. I sure hope nobody takes this as a complete guide... just wanted to help with some common newbie issues.
Jack, really thrice, you must have looked that up in a Tha-Sore-Us. Thats right it is three Silly-Bulls.
Nice intro, Steve. Hopefully, it will entice new reloaders to further research these concepts you have briefed them on.
I had no idea what this was, so I Googled it. Don't Google it.
Good stuff Steve! Great job!! Now how to make everyone read it first before asking questions!?!?!
I kinda agree with fredj338. Some folks are just too lazy, but that basically reflects where we are as a society in general....
I'm pretty sure I'm glad I missed what's been deleted.
Jack is wise in all ways, well, maybe not women.
Great job Steve! Hopefully it will be read and followed by newbies.

Law And Equity - Poem by Akhtar Jawad
If I am a dictator,
Or a powerful preacher,
Even, a democratic leader,
And I am instrumental in legislature,
And I am responsible of framing or continuing a law,
That has an element of flaw,
It is in violation to equity,
And I am ignorant of the reality,
And I have made many decisions on the basis of necessity,
I have taken many actions in my own capacity,
And there is a law against the principles of natural justice,
And I don't take any action against this malice,
For humanity I am not doing any service,
I'm not doing anything for the real justice.

Danger Girl Double Dose-An Animated AND Live-Action Fancast!
My double-scoop fancast of the hit spy spoof comic.
Filed Under: "
Fan Fic
Image and Wildstorm comics are the type who get less multimedia exposure outside of statues and collector-based action figures. Some have found their way into the mainstream, but don't make a splash with an audience with years of DC and Marvel. Some of these include Spawn (HBO 3-season animated series and an awful movie), Wild CATS (short-lived cartoon series in 1995), Savage Dragon (short-lived cartoon series in 1997), Gen 13 (almost-released animated feature film made by Disney), Witchblade (an anime that reinterpreted the story), and Firebreather (computer-animated tv movie that didn't do so well). There is, however, one property that could be a hit if they ever decided to do a movie, live-action or animated. The property I speak of--DANGER GIRL, the hit spy spoof miniseries by J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell, released in 1998 and went on to have a few more minis and a crossover with Batman and an upcoming one with Army of Darkness.
For the uneducated, Danger Girl centers around a U.N.-backed almost all-female spy agency tasked with taking out global threats. The first story, which would be the first to be adapted, focuses on new recruit Abbey Chase as she helps the team try to keep three mystic artifacts (a helmet, a sword, and a shield) from falling into the hands of the paramilitary organization called the Hammer Empire, which arose from the pooled resources of Soviet loyalists and Neo-Nazis. The series spoofs and parodies many espionage elements of pop culture such as the James Bond novels and films, along with others (a trend with its roots in the 1967 Casino Royale, the TV series Get Smart, and the 1997 film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery). Think James Bond meets Charlie's Angels meets Indiana Jones, with the Bond Girls being the stars of the story.
With this fancast (which is completely different than peterparker420's), I decided to do two in one, a cast for a live-action movie, and one for if DC (the current owners of Wildstorm) did it as an animated feature. On to the cast!
The Good
Abbey Chase-Rachel Taylor (live-action), Yvonne Strahovski (animated)
Chase is a Lara Croft/Indiana Jones-style adventuress and an ancient history scholar who acts as a bit of a Robin Hood. She gets recruited by Danger Girl with the task of helping them locate the artifacts before the Hammer Empire gets them. I went with Taylor because she's got the look and ability (and the fact that she's in the rebooted Charlie's Angel show coming out); Strahovski because of her experience on Chuck, and she's never done anything animated before.
Sydney Savage-Jennifer Love Hewitt (live-action), Janet Montgomery (animated)
Savage is a former Australian Special Ops soldier with a skill with the bullwhip and a thing for haute couture fashion. She's the only one to rebuff the advances of Johnny Barracuda. I went with Hewitt because I don't know of any action credits to her resume, and her ability as seen on Ghost Whisperer (though I've never seen the show); Montgomery because of her role on Human Target; plus, I'm sure either one could pull of an Australian accent.
"Silicon" Valerie-Emma Stone (live-action), Alyson Michalka or Lacey Chabert (animated)
Valerie is the team's resident tech head who wants to someday be a field agent, she's also the youngest member who's also a teenage prodigy that gradutated from Oxford at the top of her class, and has a crush on Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Barracuda. Emma's already a redhead and Easy A proves she's got some comedy chops, plus she looks like she could do geeky; Michalka or Chabert, either of them have good voices, but I'll leave that up to you guys.
Deuce-Sean Connery (live-action), Darrell Hammond (animated)
A former MI-6 agent who bears a striking resemblance to an aged Sean Connery, he is the leader of Danger Girl and can still kick some tail. Connery was an easy choice, since the guy is modeled after him (and who wouldn't want to see him rock a ponytail for the first time since 1975?); Hammond because of the "wickedly ridiculous" Connery impression he made famous on Saturday Night Live.
Johnny Barracuda-Mark Wahlberg (live-action), Ashton Kutcher (animated)
Johnny is a handsome, pun-spouting CIA agent who helps the team with their mission. He is also essentially an American Austin Powers because of his being a ladies' man with a huge ego and libido who can't go two steps with multiple women swooning over him. He also flirts with Abbey and Sydney throughout the entire thing. I went with Wahlberg because with this he could combine his bits from the remake of The Italian Job and The Good Guys; Kutcher because he could really play suave for once and make it funny.
Secret Agent Zero-Jason Statham (live-action), Diedrich Bader (animated)
Zero is a mercenary Deuce recruits to infiltrate and later aid the team against the Hammer Empire. He's a parody of the GI Joe character Snake Eyes, and unlike the Joe, he can speak. He also has a yet-to-be-confirmed connection to Abbey (her father?). I went with Statham because of his action and acting chops; Bader because of his voice (think Batman in Batman: the Brave and the Bold).
Falcon-Don Johnson (live-action), Christian Slater (animated)
A fellow agent of Johnny's who ends up captured, experimented on, and killed by the mad scientist of the Hammer Empire, right in front of Johnny's and Sydney's eyes. I went with Don Johnson so he could spoof his role of Sonny Crockett from Miami Vice; Slater because of a spy spoof (Jet Fusion) he voiced on Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.
*Duncan, Abbey's contact and info broker, would be played by Seth Rogen.
The Bad
Natalia Kassle-Scarlett Johannson (live-action), Famke Jannsen (animated)
Kassle is an ex-KGB agent who is also the team's former field leader/trainer and skilled with knives, who turns out to be a double-agent for the Hammer Empire. I went with Johannson because I was inspired by her performance in the 2008 adaptation of The Spirit and her role as the Black Widow in Iron Man 2; Jannsen because it'd be like spoofing her role in the James Bond movie GoldenEye, and I bet she's never done animation before.
Hammer Empire Leader-Anthony Hopkins (live-action), Ed O'Neill (animated), with the rejuvinated version voiced by Fred Tatasciore
The "Fuhrer" of the Hammer Empire, who wants to use the artifacts to give him great power to rule the world. I went with Hopkins because he'd be spoofing Hannibal Lecter (a bit) and it'd be a similar move to casting Michael Caine in Goldmember; O'Neill because I just thought it'd be a good change of pace, and allow him to flex his voiceover muscles.
Major Maxim-Dolph Lundgren (live-action), Daran Norris (animated)
The field commander of Hammer Empire's troops with superhuman strength and his face hidden by a mask, he got his power via a serum created by the organization's head scientist. I went with Lundgren so he could spoof his Ivan Drago role a bit; Norris because of his wickedly ridiculous Arnold Schwartzenegger impression as Jorgen Von Strangle on The FairlyOdd Parents.
Dr. Kharnov Von Kripplor-Terrence Stamp (live-action), Dwight Schultz (animated)
The resident mad scientist of the Hammer Empire, he is insane "and proud of it". I went with Stamp because of his role as Siegfried in the remake of Get Smart; Schultz because of the lunacy he brought to HM Murdock on The A-Team and Dr. Animo (a similar character) on Ben 10 and its subsequent successors.
Assassin X-Jet Li (live-action), Gedde Watanabe (animated)
The Hammer Empire's resident ninja master, he's a parody of the GI Joe character Storm Shadow, and like him he has a deep-seated rivalry with Secret Agent Zero, but unlike Storm Shadow, he's blind. I went with Jet Li so he could get one last hurrah in an action film (that's also a spoof); Watanabe because of a role he once played, the Repeller, on an episode of Batman Beyond.
The Peach-Danny DeVito (live-action AND animated)
A former Russian weapons dealer who isn't seen without his black trenchcoat and his favorite hand fruit in hand (a peach), he is tasked by the Hammer Empire with retrieving one of the artifacts (the shield) and trading it at a swanky party in the Swiss Alps. I went with DeVito because I wanted to see if he could do a Russian accent, and channel some of the evil of the Penguin in a comedic light.
Cain and Abel-Armie Hammer (live-action), Neil Patrick Harris (animated)
The twin grandsons of the Hammer Empire's leader, they host the party in the Alps and do the exchange with the Peach. I went with Hammer so he could spoof his role from The Social Network, and I'm sure he could pull off both a flamboyant demeanor and a German accent; same goes for NPH, who proved his comedy and voiceover chops (see his role as the main villain in the musical Batman: the Brave and the Bold episode "Mayhem of the Music Meister!").
Kid Dynamo-Luis Guzman (live-action, with the motion capture they used for the Hobbits), Tom Kenny (animated)
A dwarf enforcer for the Hammer Empire with a grudge against Johnny Barracuda, who uses golden extendable arms as weapons. I chose Guzman because he's pretty funny; Kenny because he could do a great impression of Hervé Villechaize, the French actor who played Nick Nack in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun.
*His partner, Mr. Giggles, would be played by Doug Jones (live-action) or Larry Drake (animated).
Donavin Conrad-Will Ferrell (live-action), Seth MacFarlane (animated)
Despite being a stereotypical aristocratic villain, he's a bit of a cartoonish buffon putting on an obvious charade. He wears a toupee and lost his right eye to Abbey, and tries to get back from her a golden skull (which he had stolen earlier). I went with Ferrell because of a role he had in the first two Austin Powers films, the assassin Mustafa, and he could combine that with his Robert Goulet imitation; MacFarlane because of his voice and comedy work.
The Ugly
Eddie Owen-Danny McBride (live-action), John DiMaggio (animated)
A Texas-born game designer who created a popular online RPG that Valerie plays, he also posesses one of the artifacts (the helmet) and ends up accompanying the team when it gets stolen in an ambush by the Hammer troops. I went with McBride because of his stature and comedic chops; DiMaggio speaks for himself.
Additional Voices (for the animated version):
-Grey DeLisle as a Hammer Kommandant (seen in the ambush) and a few ski girls (who swoon over Johnny).
-Kevin Michael Richardson as one of Donavin's goons and a few Hammer troopers.
-James Arnold Taylor as a Hammer communications trooper, one of Donavin's goons, and a few Hammer troopers.
