Mercedes-Benz has delivered a new Popemobile to Pope Benedict XVI, thereby carrying on an 80-year tradition. Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, has personally handed over the bespoke Mercedes-Benz M-Class, at the Vatican.
During the handover, Zetsche remarked that it is an "honor" for Mercedes-Benz to be accompanying Pope Benedict XVI on his future journeys with the new Popemobile. He noted that for over 80 years, Popes have been able to rely on the quality, safety and comfort of Mercedes-Benz's vehicles. The Pope uses the Mercedes-Benz Popemobile for public appearances both at Vatican and abroad.
The Popemobile allows the leader of the Catholic Church to get as close as possible to the public without having to worry about his safety and comfort – which Mercedes guarantees to be of the highest class. Mercedes-Benz Popemobile is fitted with the latest technological features from the current M-Class. The Popemobile also boasts of a new interior design.
Mercedes extended the Popemobile's dome substantially, thereby affording an improved amount of space and more convenient entry access. The Pope could also be viewed as more significantly enhanced, thanks to substantially larger glass panels in the viewing area, along with large illuminated roof lining. The throne, the central design feature in the interior, carries the embroidered coat of arms of the Holy Father.

Title: Five Times Makio was Banned from a Karaoke Joint (And Only One of them Involved Excessive Violence)
Universe: My Boss, My Hero
Theme/Topic: As stated above
Rating: PG
Character/Pairing/s: lightly MakioxJun
Warnings/Spoilers: Crack and stupid (the usual).
Word Count: 1,161
Summary: At least Makio doesn't like to sing all that much anyway.
Dedication: Mel's request for the "5 things" meme on my journal.
A/N: THIS WAS HARD. And since I have no idea how karaoke bars work in Japan (or if there even is a system), then I am going to skew the way they operate to suit my needs. So there. AND YES, I am also making fun of Nagase's singing voice. Because I still think it doesn't fit him. XD Anyway yeah, apologies for the lameness of this set. Mel really knows how to stump me in terms of prompts I would never have expected to write. SIGH. I comfort myself knowing I did not give up and wrote something today.
Disclaimer: Not mine, though I wish constantly.
Distribution: Just lemme know.
The shop manager takes one slow look at the unlikely pair in front of him and promptly puts his nose up in the air; "I'm sorry sir," he says, and eyes Makio with barely concealed distaste, "but we are not that kind of establishment. Please take your…entertainment interests elsewhere."
After that they are turned out on the street, and if Makio hadn't been in student mode right now, he thinks he definitely would have shown that snobby bastard a thing or two about what kind of interests he really has.
As it is, Jun just blinks up at Makio with big, doe eyes; "Makki, what did he mean by interests?" he asks, and is genuinely confused. "Are we still going to karaoke?"
Makio sighs and looks Jun over once more himself. "Maybe we oughta invite more people to sing with us tonight," he suggests as he turns away from the younger boy and shoves his hands into his pockets. "Either that or I need to buy you a hat or somethin'."
Jun doesn't get it.
Makio supposes that eighteen is still a young, innocent age like that.
"So this is the dark side," Makio says to himself for the umpteenth time that day, as he watches Hoshino and gang try to hide various bottles of soda in their jacket pockets after buying them at the convenience store.
"You're catching on," Hoshino exclaims, proudly. "As expected from my underling." Then he flashes Makio his best delinquent grin and shoves a one liter container of melon soda into the back pocket of his pants like it fits there. "Guys like us…we break the rules," he preens.
"Plus the karaoke places charge too much for their drinks," Ibuki adds, sensibly.
Hoshino smacks him. "We break the rules."
"We break the rules!" Ibuki echoes.
That settled, it's time to move. "Yosh, let's go!" Hoshino pumps his fist in the air once before they all head into the karaoke place, trying to look casual.
"Osu," Hoshino grunts as they saunter in, and eyes the girl working behind the counter with as cool an expression as he can muster. He clucks his tongue once, then says, "I want your best room, neechan."
"The dark side," Makio mutters as he watches, and squirms around the cold bottle of peach soda currently in his pants.
The girl behind the counter just gives Hoshino an unimpressed look before pointing to the very prominent "No outside food or drinks allowed" sign on the wall behind her.
"I don't got nothing, hag!" Hoshino snarls, before turning to Ibuki. "Hold me back!"
Ibuki obligingly holds him back, just as Hoshino makes a mad dash towards the counter like he's going to climb up over it and show this woman what's what. "Now give me your best room!"
She doesn't even twitch. Points to the sign again.
"Oi!" Hoshino growls at Makio, who is standing by the doorway just kind of staring. "Back me up!"
"Uh… right." Makio steps forward too, makes a scary face. "Oi!" He slams his fist against the countertop like he imagines Kazu would under these circumstances (given that the whole being an underling thing is new to him). He even does that crazy thing with his eyes that Kazu does too; it would all be a very impressive display if not for the fact that his movements jar the bottle of peach soda out of his pants.
It promptly hits the ground, rolls across the floor, continues through the crack under the counter's barn door, and comes to a stop right against the girl's left foot.
They all stare at it, and it's exactly like a scene out of one of those slapstick comedy movies.
Then that moment is over; the girl just points to her sign again and looks bored.
Fifteen minutes after that the gang is back at their usual spot outside of the convenience store sullenly eating popsicles. "The dark side is complicated," Makio starts, philosophically.
Hoshino gives a long-suffering sigh and smacks him. "Go buy me something to read."
"Can I get you kids anything to drink?"
Makio grunts and automatically says, "beer."
He hears it when Umemura, Hagiwara, and Sakurakoji all go dead silent behind him right after that. They'd been talking about what songs they wanted to sing just a second ago and suddenly now they aren't; Makio wonders if he said something wrong or if he accidentally farted or something. He sniffs the air around him just to make sure.
In the meantime, the baasan behind the refreshment counter arches an eyebrow and looks pointedly at him (or more specifically, at his school uniform) before crossing her arms in a scary way and shaking her head.
No one says anything when she points to the door.
A few minutes later, when they are walking down the street in search of the second best karaoke place Hagiwara knows about in this area, Jun turns to Makio and says, "Makki has a really weird sense of humor, ne."
The girls silently agree with Jun while Makio isn't really listening; he's too busy trying to figure out how the hell he is supposed tokaraoke without being drunk first.
He thinks that high school has definitely become that much harder all of a sudden.
Makio is not so drunk right now that he doesn't know when his manliness is being made fun of, especially when the plastered underling to his immediate right giggles and says, "Wow, aniki's singing voice is a lot higher'n I would have pegged it for! Tee hee!"
Several others laugh in agreement.
Makio (only slightly drunk, mind) decides that the only way to respond to that tasteless sort of comment is to punch the bastard in the face, as letting this week's Kanto Sharp Fang Group Recreational Meeting get out of hand with rude comments like that would be his fault as the current person in charge of operations.
From there, hijinks—naturally— ensue.
But even still, they're not anything Makio would classify as excessive. Really, his underlings aren't that strong.
What does end up being a bit excessive in terms of ensuing hijinks is the next time that they go to karaoke; it's at one of those karaoke places with an open mic and a nice big stage. What happens is that some foreign-looking guys with attitudes a mile high approach Sakuranantoka before his song is even up and shout, "Ojousan, your voice is really pretty!" Then they leer and grab the mic from Jun and try to turn the rest of his song into a group jam session (only in a way that really has nothing to do with music).
Afterwards, when Makio is pressing frozen steak against his swollen left eye and writing a big fat check to cover all damages to the joint, he sighs at Jun and says, "I really ought to buy you a hat."
Jun finally gets it now; predictably, he is not amused.

Recently inaugurated Costa Rican President Dr Abel Pacheco de la Espriella has declared his country free of oil exploration and exploitation and open-pit mining. In his inaugural speech delivered on 8 May 2002, Dr Pacheco de la Espriella announced that his Government would constitutionally enshrine 'absolute protection for primary forests so that not a single tree there is cut; absolute protection for the aquifers and the rivers; absolute protection for the coral ecosystems, of the mangroves and the wetlands; absolute protection of wild fauna and flora. We will create a legal system so that deforested areas will be reforested with native species and to make clear that we won't be an oil enclave… We will compete without destroying nature because, beyond the events of the moment, our rich biodiversity will always be a great wealth and we will preserve it.'

The morning after.
The next night Saber met Lady Zoya once more in her room. She sat at her writing desk wearing what looked like all the jewels from the castle treasury on her hair and clothes.
"Evening Milady." Saber said, striding towards her.
Zoya frowned.
"I never hear you enter."
"Who says I walk?" Saber asked.
"You are full of riddles are you not?" She amused aloud.
Saber chuckled.
"Confusion is the best plan of attack. Unpredictability."
"You speak too highly of yourself." Zoya noted. "Yet I had solved your riddle before sun rise."
"What is the answer than?" Saber asked.
"It was simple really." She took a moment to enjoy her victory. "What loves none, yet slew for love. It could not be a man for men do love something; if it is not some other or some god, than he will love himself. If he loves none of these, then it is some material thing that captures his heart. So it must be an animal, they know no love. Therefore the answer to your riddle is a beast!" She applauded for herself.
Saber chuckled letting her continue on with her self-congratulations a while longer.
" You are close but not free." Said he. "Why a beast could be anything, could not a man be a beast? Could not a beast be a man? Must a beast be real to slay what it eats? Is Not fear a beast? Or a beast fear? There is an answer to this riddle but it is a name."
Zoya's face fell. She looked disappointed.
"I must produce a name? of a beast? Living or fictional?"
"You must give a name to 'it' that will be the answer to the riddle. Though it maybe be real, fictional or dead."
Zoya made an unhappy face.
"That riddle is unfair. It could be anything under the sun."
Saber chuckled.
"Did you think it would be easy? I really do want you for my own."
"Do I get a hint?" She asked desperately, sensing his early notions of victory .
"Hmm. It is not something you would not be able to guess.
Zoya smiled and began listing off every beast she knew, either living or dead, real of fake. They sat up until little before dawn. By the time the moon began to vanish from the sky and Saber made his departure. Zoya was half asleep at her desk, her head rested upon her arms folded upon her desk. She muttered the names of beasts inaudible into her sleeves. Saber smiled to himself knowing she would never find the answer to his riddle. No one had ever managed to answer this one. They would say the answer almost constantly but never recognize it as such.
Lady Zoya would soon be his. He brushed her hair behind her ear. He bent and kissed her on the cheek, whispering good night. She hardly stirred. Then with the wind, he was gone.
That same morning, several hours later, Saber was awoken by a knocking at his door. He had only managed to sit up and gaze sleepily at the door before it was pushed rudely open. Sebastian stepped into the room as always dressed in his exaggerated lordly attire. He looked his sleepy brother over amusedly.
"Saber you do realize it is noon?" Sebastian asked.
Saber shrugged, climbing out of his blankets over to the edge of his bed.
"I'm confined to my room, and facing execution what else would you have me do?" He retorted bitterly. Sebastian averted his gaze from his brother to the floor.
"I'm sorry brother. I tried." He said with no sympathy in his voice.
"I'm sure you fought like a champion." Saber said sardonically, rising from his bed. He rummaged around for in the closet for a fresh set of clothes. Sebastian made no more attempts at conversation. Saber found a tunic that was the least repulsive. He despised the Siberian attire.
"So when is my final day?" Saber asked pulling the tunic on over his head and doing up the laces.
"Tomorrow." Sebastian replied, watching his brother carefully for a response. Saber made none committal mutter taking up some black trousers.
"I assumed it would be soon." Mused Saber. He pulling on the trousers and tucked the long helm of his under tunic in. Saber glanced over towards his brother. Sebastian was unconvinced by this nonchalant attitude.
"So Siberia gets to watch the killer of her sons die but what does Russia get for your efforts?" Saber asked running a comb carelessly through his hair before tying it back in a pony tail.
Sebastian looked reluctant to say, but surveyed Saber thoughtfully.
"Fair enough." He finally concluded. "Follow me." They left the room and as they walked down the hall. The small army guarding Saber trailed behind them. As they stepped out into the courtyard Saber blinked in the sun light reflecting off of the snow.
"This way." Sebastian said, leading Saber towards a bench where several simply dressed ladies in white stood around a seated lady in a gold dress. As they drew closer Saber recognized the Lady seated upon the bench.

1. Greek-Inspired Gulf Coast Retreat
Homeowner Carrie Zimmerman knows a thing or two about taking risks and winning big. After competing at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, she later became the first female American gymnast ever to score a perfect 10. (She went by her maiden name, Englert, at the time.) After college, she and her husband, Curtis, left promising careers at an ad agency in Atlanta to start their own firm. In 1987, they founded Tallahassee, Florida–based The Zimmerman Agency, an integrated marketing company with the largest public relations firm in the state. So it comes as no surprise that this couple took another large leap of faith when they were searching for a beach house along 30-A on the Florida Panhandle. They were planning to build, but on a whim, they looked at a newly constructed, fully furnished home in Seagrove and fell in love.

HDFS-3625 "touched" it just in July. I actually made BackupNode work for Hadoop-0.22. I don't wee why it is not possible for 0.23. {quote} I mean that it hasn't seen development activity get committed aside from fixing the tests (eg HDFS-3625), I've not seen any users try it etc, none of the active developers maintain it, etc. I don't see how the BackupNode is useful in its current state (just a node that you can stream edits to). The goal for the BackupNode was to evolve from it's current state to become a StandbyNode, but that effort is, several years later, not made much progress. Eg HDFS-2064 has been patch available for a year on a branch that, IIUC, no one plans to release from. The only 0.22 based system I'm aware of has since moved off of 0.22. > Deprecate the BackupNode and CheckpointNode in 2.0 > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-4114 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4114 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Eli Collins > Assignee: Eli Collins > > Per the thread on hdfs-dev@ (http://s.apache.org/tMT) let's remove the BackupNode and CheckpointNode. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Ottawa may try emotional tack for pipeline support
* Oliver says winning public opinion big challenge
* IEA forecast adds urgency to building pipelines
By Jeffrey Jones
CALGARY, Alberta, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Ottawa may try to tug at Canadians' emotions as a way to build public support for building pipelines to ship growing crude production to the West, East and South, the federal natural resources minister said on Friday.
The International Energy Agency's new forecast of booming U.S. light oil production has only added urgency to the need to build pipelines so Western Canadian crude can get to new markets, such as Asia and Eastern Canada, as the United States edges closer to self-sufficiency over the next 15 years, Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver said.
But many Canadians, enamored with their country's natural beauty, remain wary of the environmental impacts of such proposed projects as Enbridge Inc's Northern Gateway pipeline to the Pacific Coast from Alberta and new pipeline capacity to Montreal and points east, Oliver said.
Having already devoted major efforts to explaining the economic reasons for such developments with statistics and forecasts, it is time to communicate "at an emotive level", he told a Calgary business audience.
"I think we have to realize that this is a huge challenge, because if we don't get people on side, if we don't get the social license, politics often follows opinion," he said. "We could well get a positive regulatory conclusion from the joint panel that's looking at Northern Gateway, but if the population is not on side there's a big problem."
He described shifting public opinion as the biggest challenge facing the need to build energy infrastructure in Canada. Continued...

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Jack McMahon is an unethical attorney. He "collected" nearly $30,000 of our family's hard earned money to represent my Cousin in court. He made many promises of what he could do and how he knew many of the involved parties and could work out a fair plea bargain. Not only did he not come through on anything he said, he didn't even come!
That's right; Mr. McMahon did not show up to court on numerous occassions. When we called his office we could never get in contact with him. He basically ignored our calls and did nothing. We were left with no funds to find another attorney so we had to settle for a public defender. The public defender was so busy he accepted an unfavorable plea bargain which resulted in a sentence that does not fit the crime. We are in the process of appealing the sentence.
I'm sure our family is not the only one in this situation. [continued below]....

The Amulet of glory is a dragonstone amulet enchanted by the Magic spell Lvl-5 Enchant.It requires 80 crafting for a player to craft themselves. It is a very popular amulet in members-only worlds amongst players of all levels, as it provides good damage bonuses, has no requirements to wear, is much less expensive than the amulet of fury, and offers useful teleports.
A trimmed version, the amulet of glory (t), may be obtained from hard Treasure Trails, but is no different than a normal amulet of glory aside from appearance.
The amulet of glory can be obtained either through crafting and enchanting or dropped by dragon implings.

The amulet of glory is useful when travelling in the Wilderness, as this amulet will work up to level 30 Wilderness, while most other means of teleportation will not work above level 20 Wilderness. Players can access the teleports by either rubbing it in their inventory and selecting their destination from the option box which appears, or they can right click it when equipped and select one of their destinations.
This amulet has a maximum of 4 charges when charged in the Heroes' Guild and 6 charges when charged at the Fountain of Rune.
Teleports are available to the following four locations:
- Edgeville, in front of the bank
- Karamja, the Musa point banana plantation
- Draynor Village market
- Al Kharid Palace
The teleport locations allow access to other transportation grids. From Edgeville, players may use the canoe system to travel up and down River Lum, the fairy ring system accessible to the east of Edgeville and using the underwall tunnel to the Grand Exchange (level 21 Agility required), access to the Spirit tree network and the dwarven carts.
Karamja teleport puts the player close to the charter ships system.
Draynor Village is close to Port Sarim for transportation for boats. However, using the Explorer's ring 3 is usually a much better choice.
Al Kharid teleport is at Shantay Pass, allowing access to the Kharidian Desert, the magic carpet system and the gnome glider to the north.
After at least one charge has been used, an amulet of glory can be recharged by using it on the Fountain of Heroes below the Heroes' Guild, which requires the completion of Heroes' Quest to access. Doing so will fully charge all the amulets in the player's inventory to 4 charges.
Players who have level 89 in Magic can cast Recharge Dragonstone to charge all enchanted dragonstone jewellery, excluding the ring of wealth.
Alternatively, players can charge enchanted dragonstone jewellery at the Fountain of Rune, which is located east of the Demonic Ruins in the Wilderness. Charging dragonstone jewellery there will give 6 charges instead of the usual 4, excluding the ring of wealth, which can only have a maximum of 5 charges.
When a player is charging amulets of glory at the Fountain of Rune, there is a 1 in 25,000 chance that an amulet of glory will transmute into an amulet of eternal glory, which provides unlimited teleports rather than the usual four. When this occurs, a message in the chatbox will appear, stating The power of the fountain is transferred into an amulet of eternal glory. It will now have unlimited charges.
Other usesEdit
If the Amulet of glory has any charges, wearing it while Mining will increase the chances of finding gems (from 1/256 to 1/86). It will also significantly increase the speed of mining gem rocks.
At level 47 Construction, the amulet of glory can be mounted in a player-owned house, within the Quest Hall. This will require an uncharged amulet of glory, and three teak planks. While mounted, this amulet can be used to provide unlimited teleports from one's house. It is possible to use boosts for this, such as the crystal saw. Mounting the Amulet of glory does not require the completion of Heroes' Quest.
Amulets of glory are very useful for Runecrafting through the Abyss, granting a fast way to return to Edgeville. They can also be used for Runecrafting law runes by taking the boat to Entrana, then teleporting to Draynor Village to bank the runes.

Funding Needs
While we have a strong base of support within the Pittsburgh Jewish community, in order create sustainability we must build on that.There are several tools we need in order to engage a broader sector of the community. These include but are not limited to more creative programming and one on one interactions, fostering better relationships and increasing our donor base. In order to achieve these goals and fully actualize our mission statement the Kollel Jewish Learning Center is in need of the following: 1.The hiring of an Outreach director (60k) is essential to achieving our goals and creating sustainability.In order to foster engagement, enthusiasm and a strong connection to the Kollel we must create programming which will attract new users to kollel programs, 2.While we do currently attract women to our classes and programs we feel we need to engage women at a stronger level.This will only be accomplished with the hiring of a Women's Program Director (25K).This position will enable us to create programs and classes specific to the needs of our women's constituency thus further bolstering our sustainability. 3.We need staff training in order to fully optimize our use of Salesforce our database program.In addition we need the training in order to do additional programming and code writing for Salesforce. This will allow us to create highly focused programming and fundraising efforts (7K)

Plastigage is a wax thread that is precisely sized. You break off a 1/2" long piece and place it on a dry crank main or rod journal and bolt on the cap, with bearings, torque to spec, then take the cap off. The wax thread will be squashed out to a thin layer on the journal. Finally you take the paper envelope that the Plastigage comes in and hold it next to the wax streak. There is a calibrated scale on the edge of the envelope that corresponds to the bearing clearance. When the width of a dash on the envelope matches the width of the wax smear, yo read the clearance number printed on the envelope and compare that to the spec in your rebuild manual. Very accurate. You can get Plastigage at any parts store.
Your rebuild manual will list a spec for the piston/cylinder clearance. Shove a piston half way down the cylinder and insert larger feeler gage leaves in until there is resistance. Compare the thickness of the feeler gage to the spec in the book. If too tight, you must hone the bore until it meets minimum clearance spec. If too loose you need larger pistons. I have never had a problem here but if I did, I would take the whole mess back to my machinist and tell him to make it good at no charge to me. He would have screwed up.
Finally, fitting rings is the one thing the home mechanic must do himself. Place a ring in the cylinder bore and shove it down an inch or so with the top of an upside down piston so it is square with the bore. Measure the gap of the ring with a feeler gage and compare that reading with the spec in the manual. If it is too tight, you must file the end of the ring until it is large enough. If it is too big, take the rings back to your auto parts store and get a set for larger bore.

The former Barcelona boss and Dutch icon believes the time his countryman spent on the bench earlier in the season, having been axed by Jupp Heynckes, helped him become stronger
Cruyff believes the added rest and extra motivation were vital for the 29-year-old, who appeared in just 16 of Bayern's 34 Bundesliga games this term.
"Although the setting and the footballing ability of Dortmund appeals to me greatly, the experience and the excellent organisation of Bayern Munich prevailed in London, of course thanks to a wonderful performance for Arjen Robben," Cruyff wrote in his column in De Telegraaf.
|Bayern Munich are 7/2 with BetVictor to win the Champions League again next season
Robben has scored in five in his last seven games, including the Champions League-winning goal against Dortmund.
"First he received criticism Saturday evening for not finishing a couple of chances. Robben was involved in five of the eight chances which Bayern had. Then he did something right.
"It would also show later. Robben was a 100 per cent involved, culminating in the decisive goal that he scored in final minute.
"A nice mix of intuition, technology and natural desire [from Robben] led to Bayern's two goals. It does not matter whether the ball rolls in hard or soft, as long as the goal counts."
Former Dutch boss Bert van Marwijk was elated for Robben, saying it was his redemption for spurning a glorious chance in the World Cup final defeat to Spain in 2010 and other costly misses.
He said "It's meant to be. You could see that losing those finals has played a major role for Arjen. It is a reminder for Arjen of that moment face to face with [Iker] Casillas."

Flutists Publish Book of Amazingly Easy Flute Music
Australian flute players Jane Cavanagh and Catherine Loonam have just launched their book of amazingly easy flute music. Incredibly illustrated, it is already proving to be a huge hit with flute students internationally as well as in Australia.
Jane and Catherine have designed this book as the perfect first step for beginning flute players looking to improve their playing. With its large print, easy arrangements, recognizable songs, and colorful designs, they hope to dispel the myth that practicing and playing the flute has to be a boring, painful affair.
The Great Illustrated Book of Easy Flute Music contains nearly one hundred tunes that are easily recognizable and, most importantly, easy to play. Each song is printed in large, clear notation and comes with its own fun illustration from graphic designer Matías Martínez. Selections include everything from folk songs to melodies from great orchestral works. The book is designed with beginners in mind, regardless of their age.
Jane and Catherine argue that in most cases beginning flute players sound sub-par not because of their lack of skills, but rather because they are inundated with music that is not composed with the beginner in mind.
Jane and Catherine began development on The Great Illustrated Book of Easy Flute Music in 2013 when a student expressed frustration at the lack of music written for the flute that sounded good, was easy to play, and was well known.
The Great Illustrated Book of Easy Flute Music is currently selling for $27.95 and includes a bonus PDF copy of the book as well as Jane and Catherine's ebook, Secrets for the Beginner Flute Player. The 2 bonuses alone are valued at $44, and the offer will expire on 30 June 2014. You can purchase The Great Illustrated Book of Easy Flute Music from the website www.easyflute.com.
For those of you in Australia, they have a special ordering site set-up at www.flutebook.com.au offering discounts for locals and further discounts for flute teachers.
In addition, they have produced an excellent fingering chart for the flute which can be obtained free from the website.
Jane and Catherine have a combined 30 years of flute teaching experience and have studied and performed with ensembles in both Australia and abroad.

What People Say About Natural Fit Therapy
"I had constant shoulder pain that limited me from enjoying life with my grandchildren, moving the mouse on my computer at work, and had to take pain pills daily to get some relief. After only a few treatments with Cory at Outcomes Physical Therapy, I was able to get back to life WITHOUT pain or medications! I wish I had done it sooner and it was LITERALLY the best money I've spent!"
"I had been seeing a chiropractor for several years for NECK PAIN, but it wasn't until I came for my evaluation with Cory at Outcomes Physical Therapy that I realized I had a mobility and muscle control problems contributing to my problem. I was MISSING OUT on reaching my fitness goals due to these problems, and after going to see Cory I'm now able to participate in yoga, tumbling, and parkour at a higher performance level…and NO LONGER have neck pain!"
"Ryan has been fantastic to work with. He listens intently and pays attentions to how the whole body is functioning, not just the place of pain you are pointing to. He works through every part of the problem from diagnosing, soft tissue work, active release, adjustments, and finding the best exercises to take home and actually work on the problem instead of having you come back over and over. He is beyond thorough and wise and I always leave him feeling a million times better than when I arrived. Highly recommended!"

IRLP opportunity for JOTA weekend. NODE 9452, the Dallas Reflector channel 2.
Expand Messages
- Many Scout groups use Ecolink to make Internet assist contacts for JOTA. While Echolink provides Computer to radio linking possibilities, IRLP, Internet Radio Linking Protocol, provides true radio to radio linking via Internet assist. Echolink repeaters have Node numbers and so do IRLP repeaters.
An option to provide opportunities for multiple JOTA sites to communicate is through IRLP Reflectors. Like Echolink Conference Bridges, Reflectors allow multiple connections allowing multiple repeaters throughout the world to connect through one location at the same time.
Jeff Alexander, N4MSE has given permission to set up a JOTA reflector channel as part of the 945 Dallas Reflector. Reflectors have 10 channels each. The 0 channel is for general use but the other channels can be set up for special groups or operations. On the 945 reflector, any JOTA station can connect to channel 2 by keying 9452 into an open and active IRLP repeater anywhere in the world.
There are many IRLP repeaters nodes throughout the world, many in the US and Canada but numerous othes elsewhere. To find a node near you, go to http://irlp.net and click on the "Node Info" link on the left and then select one fo the links in the center of the page. For JOTA I recommend contacting the repeater trustee of the local IRLP machine near you to gain permission to use for an extended period of time. Also be aware of the means needed to take the node down from it's connection should it be needed.
For a real time status on the Dallas Reflector you can go to http://irlp.g4eid.co.uk/status/all_reflectors.html and search on the page for "Reflector 9450 Dallas and you will see all the repeater nodes connected to the 10 channels of the reflector. Those repeater nodes connected to channel 2 will be there specifically for JOTA contacts. Click on the title link for the 9450 reflector and display only this reflector and it's channels. Connect to 9452 from your local machine and join in the conversation.
Please take advantage of this opportunity to use IRLP as a bridge for wide area radio to radio Scout communications with Internet assist.

New Delhi, Jan 6: The call records are crucial to the investigations being conducted into the Pathankot terror attack.
While the calls that the terrorists made from the phone of the Superintendent of Police, there are around 8 calls that were made from the phone of the slain taxi driver as well.
It may be recalled that a taxi driver Ikagar Singh was found dead near the Katloh bridge over the river Ravi.
[Timeline of Pathankot terror attack]
While it was detected early by the investigators that the first call that Singh received from Pakistan was on December 31 2014, it was also found that there were around 8 calls that were made from his mobile to Pakistan.
Each of these calls from Singh's mobile were made at a gap of half an hour each. It is a part of the investigation and we are ascertaining these details, an officer part of the probe said.
Calls under scrutiny:
The calls made from Singh's mobile phone will be extremely crucial to the investigation. As per the initial account that was given by the family members of Singh, he had rushed out in the night after he received a call.
[Pathankot terror attack: NIA wants abducted cop to answer these three questions]
He had told his family members that he was rushing out as there was a medical emergency and he had to rush a person to the hospital.
However the preliminary probe conducted suggests that the medical emergency version is not right. He had rushed out in the night and investigators suspect that he had picked up the terrorists who had infiltrated into India from Pakistan.
[Post Pathankot, Punjab needs a border as secure as Jammu and Kashmir]
It is not clear whether Singh knew who he was picking up and this is again a subject matter of investigation, the NIA says.
There are two questions that the NIA seeks answers for. First and foremost why did Singh tell his family that he was rushing out to attend a medical emergency. Secondly the NIA also seeks to know why were so many calls made from Singh's phone to a Pakistan number.
The NIA says that they are checking these call records and also add that the verification of his call details in the past two years do not show any calls made to Pakistan. This was the first instance the NIA says.

Silverwood Theme Park
Silverwood Theme Park is a large theme park located in Athol, Idaho, approximately 30 minutes north of the resort town of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The park opened in 1986 with a few small carnival rides, a steam train, and an adjacent airstrip. Over the years, the park grew and added more attractions and rides including major roller coasters and thrill rides. With each year, the park's popularity increased and expansion continued.
In 2003, Silverwood opened the Boulder Beach water park, a "park within the park" featuring water slides, wave pools, and other interactive water attractions. Boulder Beach has also seen growth and expansion over the years, and transformed Silverwood into a multi-day destination. Boulder Beach also resulted in the closure of the airstrip, due to it's proximity and height.
The park is owned by Gary Norton and the Norton family and remains a privately held company.
Garfield is the official mascot of Silverwood and has been since the early 2000's. Garfield merchandise can be purchased throughout the park, and the Main Street Cinema runs Garfield movies during operating hours.
Sections of the Park
Silverwood can be broken down into several smaller sections, each with a unique theme and featuring several rides and attractions.

Don't Know What To Do?
- Article Summary
- What is MDMA?
- What does it look like?
- Who uses the drug?
- Where is it used?
- What are the risks?
- What is it called?
- Is it illegal?
What is MDMA?MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, also known as ecstasy) is a synthetic (man-made) drug that causes both hallucinogenic and stimulant effects. The drug was developed in Germany in the early twentieth century as an appetite suppressant, but today's users consume the drug for its hallucinogenic effects, which they claim heighten their senses and make them feel less inhibited. Users also consume MDMA for its stimulant properties, which enable them to dance for hours at all-night parties and nightclubs.
What does it look like?MDMA generally is sold as a tablet, which is taken orally. MDMA tablets are available in various colors and shapes and generally are imprinted with a logo. Popular logos include smiley faces, clover leaves, cartoon characters, and symbols associated with commercial brands such as Mitsubishi, Nike, and Mercedes.
Who uses the drug?Most MDMA users are teenagers or young adults. More than 10 percent of high school seniors have tried MDMA at least once, and more than 2 percent have used the drug in the past month, according to the University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future Survey. MDMA users typically come from middle- and upper-class households. MDMA is inexpensive. The average retail price of a MDMA tablet is between $20 and $30 making it attractive and accessible to younger users.
Where is it used?MDMA is called a club drug because it often is used at all-night dance parties (called raves) or at techno parties and nightclubs. In addition, MDMA increasingly is being used in private homes and on high school and college campuses.
What are the risks?The effects produced by consuming MDMA can last for 4 to 6 hours, depending upon the potency of the tablet. Using the drug can cause confusion, depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, craving for the drug, and paranoia. Use of the drug also may result in muscle tension, involuntary teeth clenching, nausea, blurred vision, tremors, rapid eye movement, sweating, or chills. People who have circulatory problems or heart disease face particular risks because MDMA can increase heart rate and blood pressure.
MDMA abusers also risk dehydration, hyperthermia (exceptionally high fever), and heart or kidney failure if they use the drug while physically exerting themselves or in hot environments. (These factors pose particular risks to individuals who use MDMA at raves or techno parties, where they may be dancing among crowds of people.)
Users also are at risk of consuming other drugs that may be sold to them as MDMA. In some instances, the synthetic drug PMA (paramethoxyamphetamine) has been sold as MDMA. Because PMA's hallucinogenic effects take longer to appear, users may consume too much of the drug, which can result in overdose death.
An additional risk results when other substances are added to MDMA tablets without the user's knowledge. Drugs such as heroin and methamphetamine reportedly have been added to MDMA tablets in some parts of the United States.
What is it called?
The most common names for MDMA are ecstasy, Adam, and XTC.
- B-bombs
- Clarity
- Cristal
- Decadence
- Disco biscuit
- Essence
- Eve
- Go
- Hug drug
- Iboga
- Love drug
- Morning shot
- Pollutants
- Scooby snacks
- Speed for lovers
- Sweeties
- Wheels
Is it illegal?
Yes, MDMA is illegal. Since 1985 MDMA has been a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act. Schedule I substances, which include heroin and LSD, have a high potential for abuse and serve no legitimate medical purpose.

The Theory of Beauty in the Classical Aesthetics of Japan
€ 149,99
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
Februar 1981
BeschreibungThe Japanese sense of beauty as actualized in innumerable works of art, both linguistic and non-linguistic, has often been spoken of as something strange to, and remote from, the Western taste. It is, in fact, so radically different from what in the West is ordinarily associated with aesthetic experience that it even tends to give an impression of being mysterious, enigmatic or esoteric. This state of affairs comes from the fact that there is a peculiar kind of metaphysics, based on a realization of the simultaneous semantic articulation of consciousness and the external reality, dominating the whole functional domain of the Japanese sense of beauty, without an understanding of which the so-called 'mystery' of Japanese aesthetics would remain incomprehensible. The present work primarily purports to clarify the keynotes of the artistic experiences that are typical of Japanese culture, in terms of a special philosophical structure underlying them. It consists of two main parts: (1) Preliminary Essays, in which the major philosophical ideas relating to beauty will be given a theoretical elucidation, and (2) a selection of Classical Texts representative of Japanese aesthetics in widely divergent fields of linguistic and extra-linguistic art such as the theories of waka-poetry, Noh play, the art of tea, and haiku. The second part is related to the first by way of a concrete illustration, providing as it does philological materials on which are based the philosophical considerations of the first part.
InhaltsverzeichnisOne: Preliminary Essays.
- I. The aesthetic structure of waka.
- II. The metaphysical background of the theory of Noh: an analysis of Zeami's 'Nine Stages'.
- III. The Way of tea: an art of spatial awareness.
- IV. Haiku: an existential event.- Two: Texts, translated by Toshihiko and Toyo Izutsu.
- I. Maigetsush?.
- II. The Nine Stages.
- III. 'The Process of Training in the Nine Stages' (Appendix to 'The Nine Stages').
- IV. Observations on the Disciplinary Way of Noh.
- V. ollecting Gems and Obtaining Flowers.
- VI. Record of Nanb?.
- VII. The Red Booklet.

Not long ago, Naturalist Charlie Browne and I walked along a trail in Williston that looked quite a bit different from the last time we had visited! There were several large trees down across the trails! But, as Charlie pointed out, that provided some opportunities in the woods as well.
"Wow, Charlie remember the last time we were on these trails? It looked a little different! Obviously some straight line wind damage from a big storm took down these huge trees."
"Lots of trees are down here, but look what it's done. It's opened up the sky, so that even though these trees are down, there's a lot of new sunlight pouring in that these trees were using and it's releasing plants that have been sitting here dormant, waiting for that to happen. So you have lots of ferns that are looking very healthy, you have young maples coming in, there are also young oak trees coming in."
"And some wildflowers that maybe didn't have a chance before."
"And even some wildflowers, that's right. So what happens when something like this apparently natural disaster occurs is that nature recovers. We're seeing that process going on right here, right now after probably a year or two of new growth. "
"So if you have something like this happen in the woods on your property, you don't have to come in and clean it up?"
"You can, one opportunity might be to salvage the good logs that are here, and use them while they are still relatively healthy. But you don't have to. If these trees and logs that are down here are left long enough, they will help to restore the soil here and they'll provide good habitat over time for lots of kinds of birds and insects and mammals, so this is habitat being restored even though it's in transition right now. "
"Nature will take care of it in time."

Andrew's SwarmMature
A little boy and his parents meet up with a group of Vampires on a roadtrip through the woods.
I cannot remember a time that I felt more excited. My Dad had promised me and my Mom that we could accompany him on his next trip to the market in a nearby town. I have never been away from my small village and the thought of seeing another place intrigued me. I remember Dad's face as he hitched the heavy work horses to our old wooden wagon. He adjusted the leather horse collars and harnesses with care. I wondered and worried if that rickety old wagon would be able to make this trip without incidence. He would periodically look my way during his preparation ritual and smile. Sensing my anticipation and impatience to be on our way, he glanced sideways, smiled and said, "be patient Gavril, it won't be long now". The horses had made this trip many times in the past and seemed to take all the prep work in stride. They both stood still and made no objections as the harnesses and reins were skillfully attached to the shaft of our wagon. My Mom had almost finished packing the food and water we would need for our adventurous excursion. She packed extra blackberries and smoked pork for me because she knew these were among my favorites.
It was early in the morning and the sun had not yet risen to outline the rugged edges of the mountain range. Our wagon was loaded with linens and rugs, which we will sell once we arrive at our destination. I did not much care about the business or bartering activities, this was beyond the interest of a nine year old boy. I wanted to start the journey and take in the sights. Mom and Dad took their positions at the front of the wagon sitting upon the perch bench. The trip through the countryside took us over dirt roadways with deep crevasses carved-out by centuries of horse and wagon use. I saw for the first time the native Hoopoes bird. A colorful bird noted for its yellow and black banded coloration and a unique tuft of feathers on its head much like a crown. Fascinated, I watch the bird's aerial navigation, an undulating, erratic pattern, looking much like a butterfly in flight.
I was restless and found myself moving from the footboard of the wagon to the dickey bench behind my parents. Night would soon be here and my parents discussed staying at a nearby Inn. I did not want to stop at an Inn and wanted to continue until we got to the trading town of Navazut. I have never slept anywhere except my own bed but, I should be all-right as long as Mom and Dad are with me. I do feel a bit tired and the night has brought a drop in temperature. I remember crawling into the back of the wagon to keep warm and maybe take a nap under a pile of rugs.
It was dark when I first noticed a man standing in the middle of the road. The stranger did not step aside as we approached. My father pulled the reins on the horses, engaged the iron holdback, and the wagon came to a stop. We had lost the inertia that kept our wheels moving forward through the mud and tread. I could feel the wheels of our wagon slide down into a fissure, the wagon tilted slightly to the left. I wondered if we were stuck and worried whether the horses would be able to pull us out. I did not hear what my Father said but, I know the stranger in the street did not answer, he slowly approached the wagon and stared at my parents. From under my hiding spot, I saw the outline of another man advancing upon my parents from the left side of our wagon.
As if summoned from the black of night , several other men approached the wagon and encircled it from all sides. I sensed danger, fear permeated every cell in my body and I found myself unable to move. I could my heart beating and was certain that the group of men could most certainly hear it as well. I placed my hand tightly around my mouth to prevent any sounds from coming out and to ensure they could not hear my quickened, heavy breathing.
From under the rugs, I watched as the men jumped upon my Mom and Dad and held them by their necks. I saw sharp, yellowed fingernails enter into my father's throat. A man wearing a green coat had bitten into my fathers upper arm and was sucking on his flesh. I could see the facial muscles contract on his face as he latched on tightly to my Father's arm. The strangers eyes were a translucent blue-white color that seemed to reflect the moon's light. How eerie and unearthly his eyes looked to me. Another of the creatures had sank his teeth into my fathers neck, close to his shoulder and fastened on to him, pushing his face deeper into my fathers body as he fed and bit deeper Other members of the group were also biting into my Mother and drinking of her blood. Mom's fingernails dug fruitlessly into the mans left cheek. I could hear the sound of swallowing and my Mom gasping for breathe as a man held her neck tightly. The group of men took turns biting and ripping out chunks of flesh from my parents captive, dying bodies.
I lie motionless under the rugs hoping they did not see me. My father fell forward, head slumping over the horserail, he sat motionless at the front of the wagon. One of the men picked him up as if he weighed no more than a small brick and threw his body atop the items in the back of our wagon. I could not bring myself to look in his direction. My mothers lifeless body was also thrown onto the wagon a few moments later. I wanted to run but I did not risk being discovered. The man in the green coat took seat at the reins and the others gathered on the wagon. The horses were coaxed to move but, the wheel was indeed stuck in a rut. One of the monsters effortlessly lifted the wagon and freed the wheel from the crevasse that held it firm. I remained motionless as the wagon ventured off the roadway. Not a word was said the entire trip as the murderous men manipulated the horses and wagon deeper into the forest.
I could not move due to the weight of my parents bodies on top of me, their burden almost suffocating me. The strangers sat almost statuesque, looking forward the entire time. We came to a stop behind a log building and I could hear other people talking and moving around. It sounded not unlike a pub at the village I came from. I felt I still could not risk being detected and remained still and quiet under a pile of rugs. The group of men had gotten off the wagon and were looking at the goods my father had so painstakingly placed hours before. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it would stop. The men had gathered around the wagon and were removing the goods aboard. The pile of rugs which served as my safe place was lifted. I found myself staring at a woman's face, a beautiful face with cool, blue eyes. She smiled at me. I did not have time to speak before her hand reached forward. Her dagger-like nails dug into my throat...

Ben The Caricaturist
Starting from £192.00
Ben is an energetic and fun addition to your party. Weddings, work parties, black-tie events and street fairs, Ben has bumbled through all of these sketching partygoers to hilarious effect. With his pin-point accurate yet very silly caricatures, Ben is guaranteed to get your guests howling with laughter, blinking in disbelief!
Ben The Caricaturist
Ben is a trained Wildlife Illustrator, now more adversed to capturing human wildlife at it's best, and has since leaving university cartooned for childrens books, poetry books and has earnt his chops caricaturing on the streets of London.
What defines Ben apart from other caricaturists is his speed and accuracy, and while some caricaturists will make you look like a human lollipop, his caricatures double as a good portrait.
But don't be fooled by the 'serious artiste' act, Ben is more often than not making silly faces to try and distract his subject, in fact he was recently voted the least straight-faced of all the caricaturists!
Ben also has a background working in children's entertainment, and so has successfully managed to caricature even the very young by means of distractions and funny noises. The epitome of this was when he rose to the challenge of drawing every single child at a nursery playgroup in 2 hours - not an easy task, they move!
Ben was great at communicating before the event and when he turned up was friendly and punctual. He interacted well with all the guests and had lots of requests to draw people which he dealt with very well. Our guests loved the portraits and it was really worth it to have him entertain them during the drinks. Thank you very much.
We are so pleased we booked Ben for our wedding, as he went down a treat with everyone. From the moment I met him on the day I knew he was going to be a hit.... As he introduced himself as "my cousin", which led to me panicking that I didn't know someone in my own family! If you are looking for entertainment for your wedding do not hesitate to book Ben, as not only are guests being entertained they get a souvenir to remember your day! Thank you Ben
Absolutely great, thank you! Really friendly and the pictures were fantastic.
This guy was fantastic he was on time got round a lot did lots of pictures and kept all our guests entertained was well worth the money. Thank you Ben for adding that extra something to our wedding day... Mr & Mrs Carrington
Ben was fantastic. We had people queuing to be drawn by him. He managed to capture each persons personality accurately but in a fun way. We wouldn't hesitate in booking Ben again for any future functions. Brilliant.
Ben was absolutely fantastic. He was very quick with his drawing so managed to get through a decent number of people. His drawings were impressive and very funny. Thank you to both Ben and Warble for making our event very memorable! First class service throughout the process.
Absolutely Great Guy..... a true gent..... and fantastic with our guests..... was above and beyond our expectations.... we would highly recommend ..... please pass on our gratitude to Ben and we hope to hire him in the future too.... Thanks Colin & Tracey xxx
Ben was excellent Andy and I were very happy that we booked him, all our guests LOVED their pictures! We would definitely book him again and recommend him to anyone.
We were really pleased with Ben. Not only did he look well presented, but he was punctual, polite and drew amazingly accurate caricatures of the 12 year old children at my daughter's party. He kept them entertained the whole time and was very approachable. Prior to the event, he was in contact with me a couple of times to fine tune the details. Thank you for finding him for us.
Ben was awesome and we couldn't asked for a nicer person to come and demonstrate their talents in the way Ben did! He was professional for the entire time he was with us and everyone and I mean everyone had a picture drawn at some point through the night! BOOK THIS MAN HE IS AWESOME!!!
Ben was fantastic, he arrived on time and was very friendly and made everyone feel at ease on the day and of course the pictures were fantastic. I would definately recommend him to anyone in the furture. Kind regards, Julia Fagan
Ben was brilliant people couldn't get enough of him and they really enjoyed getting their pictures drawn and some of them were really funny, thank you.
Very easy to book and very helpful and my guests loved the pictures. Ben was really nice and the day after the wedding people were asking us if we had our picture done. Was a great idea thank you so much 5*****

How long does a caricature take? And how many can you do per hour?
My caricatures take approximately 5 minutes each, so I can produce roughly 12 per hour. If you'd like 'Fast Mode' however I can produce a sketchy, spritely caricature in 2 minutes so that at a push I can get 30 out in an hour. After that I need a glass of water!
What materials do you use?
Black Fineliner Pen and A4 pad, lightweight and compact, for the stealth caricaturist!
Can I request certain people drawn first?
The Bride/Groom or Birthday Girl/Boy always get first dibs if that's what they want, and some people need to be drawn quickly before they pass out(!). Other than that, I judge the order by how much someone grins at the prospect of being caricatured.
How do we collect our caricatures?
At a certain time at the end of the night I collect together all the caricatures I've made and display them on a table for guests to come an look at, laugh at and collect. This is also a fantastic photo opportunity.
Does my bum look big in this?
If you're asking if I'm kind, I'm generally a quite flattering caricaturist and will be more so if you ask me too. Alternatively I could be nastier if you ask me that too!
Do you mingle with the guests or stay in one spot?
Either, I can do whichever will suit you on the day
Ben can perform for anything up to 4 hours (longer with breaks) and is able to perform in all manner of climactic and atmospheric conditions. In other words, anything from a phone box to a stadium!

Hoping to re-create the magic of his season-opening front-row qualifying run at Daytona, and then finishing the job with an uninterrupted run to the checkered flag this time on race day, Aaron Fike and the ...
Hoping to re-create the magic of his season-opening front-row qualifying run at Daytona, and then finishing the job with an uninterrupted run to the checkered flag this time on race day, Aaron Fike and the #43 Curb Records Dodge of the Curb Agajanian Performance Group come to the Talladega Superspeedway 2.66-mile tri-oval for Saturday's NASCAR Busch Series Aaron's 312.
The 23-year-old driver out of Galesburg, Ill., has made 46 career NBS starts to date, including last spring's NBS race here at Talladega.
In this season's opening race at Daytona, Fike qualified second in the #43 CAPG Dodge, missing the pole by a mere 43-thousandths of a second. His race-day fortunes turned out to be not so great as he was taken out early when a fellow competitor blew a tire on the front straight and sent him into the outside retaining wall.
It's been a roller coaster ride the last several NBS weekends for Fike and the CAPG team. They logged solid top-20 finishes at Bristol and Nashville while struggling with handling difficulties at Texas and Phoenix.
A year ago this weekend, Fike made his first career NBS start here at Talladega, qualifying 27th in the #43 CAPG Dodge and fighting his way back for a 22nd-place finish after getting caught up in a 16-car accident in the early going.
As it was at Nashville two weeks ago, where the #43 team celebrated "43 Years of History-Making Music" by Curb Records, music will once again be the theme this weekend. Nashville-based Curb Records will have top billing on the #43 racing machine to celebrate the recently released album by Curb recording artist Tim McGraw (Tim McGraw Hits, Vol. 2 -- Reflected).
AARON FIKE QUOTES ON TALLADEGA -- "The memories of Daytona are fresh on our minds this weekend every way you look at it. We were really strong in qualifying and started on the front row. That was something really special -- that kind of result at that place. It was very disappointing what happened to us in the race because we never even got the chance to make it to our first pit stop. It was just a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. That's what happens in these restrictor-plate races. Hopefully, we can qualify well and then get the job done on Saturday. You really never know what's going to happen in these races. All we can do is bring our A-game and do everything we can to stay out of trouble. We know we can be as fast as anybody on these big tracks."

The best art isn't always behind velvet ropes. Graffiti, once a punishable act of pavement protest, has become a bona fide art form. It's been the subject of major exhibitions at institutions like London's Tate Modern and MOCA in Los Angeles, and has turned taggers like Banksy and Shepard Fairey into international superstars.

Travelers with an artistic eye can check out the movement's seminal works and rising stars on city streets, crumbling edifices, and all manners of alleyway. From Berlin to Buenos Aires, here's where to spot global talent in the top 10 cities for street art.
