Wow. Such absolutely beautiful drums everyone has.

Kawai CN25 Rosewood 88 Key Digital Piano **Instore Only **1 Left - Floor Model**
Shipping Calculator
Pickup In Store
1 Available in Newcastle Store
The weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers of an acoustic piano, while let-off simulation recreates the subtle 'notch' sensation felt when softly playing the keys of a grand piano. These important characteristics allow discerning pianists to practise their expanding repertoire with confidence, and ensure that there are no unpleasant surprises when called upon to perform using the finest acoustic grand pianos.
The Kawai EX concert grand piano is widely regarded by professional pianists and piano technicians as one of the finest instruments within its class. Hand-built by Master Piano Artisans at the Shigeru Kawai Piano Research Laboratory in Ryuyo, Japan, each EX instrument undergoes a meticulous regulation and refinement process within a specially designed anechoic chamber. Following this lengthy crafting period, the completed EX concert grand piano receives a final series of rigorous quality inspections, before eventually taking centre stage in the world's most prestigious musical institutions and concert halls.
Reinforcing the CN Series' reputation as the most realistic digital pianos in their price range is Kawai's Grand Feel Pedal System. This new development accurately replicates the individual weighting of the damper, soft, and sostenuto pedals of a Kawai EX Concert grand piano to further enhance acoustic piano authenticity.
The new CN Series models feature song recorder capabilities that both enhance one's playing enjoyment and can also assist piano study. The CN25's useful recorder allows up to three songs to be stored in internal memory and played back at the touch of a button, serving as a convenient self-assessment tool for players of all skill levels.

I've been emailed a tracking number, how do I track it?
The number should look like Fastway FA0000001 or Startrack YTP0000 or Aus Post 111111, Simply go to the website of the company it was sent with (Fastway,Startrack Express, Australia Post) and trace it there.

A new study has found widespread migrant underpayment and wage theft in Australia
The Fair Work Commission has slammed an employer for treating a female employee in a manner 'devoid of compassion'
A decision by the Victorian Court of Appeal has highlighted the largely uncertain area of law concerning an employer's vicarious liability for the unauthorised acts of its employees.
In a case which has dragged on for more than a decade, the decision in Blake v JR Perry Nominees Pty Ltd [2012] VSCA 122 has reiterated that an employer is not liable for the unauthorised actions of its employees, within the workplace, so long as the action was beyond its reasonable control.
On 16 October, 2001 an incident took place at the Portland Docklands in Melbourne, following the assembly of truck drivers the previous night to refuel a tanker early in the morning. However, the tanker was delayed, and truck drivers were left waiting for 18 hours, long into the afternoon. The drivers were unable to leave their trucks for prolonged periods and had little to occupy themselves. In the afternoon, a driver who was employed by JR Perry struck another driver hard on the back of the knees, in what was described as 'practical joke' by the employee. However, the driver who was struck fell to the ground and severely injured his back.
According to commentary by legal experts at Dibbs Barker, it was the injured driver's submission that JR Perry was vicariously liable for the damage he suffered at the hands of their employee, because the individual was motivated by boredom. The submission centred around the proposition that the injury would never had occurred but for the boredom suffered by the drivers prior to the incident, therefore causing him to play a 'practical joke'.
The Judge found that it was common for truck drivers to play various practical jokes on each other during prolonged periods of inaction. In turn, it is common for employers such as JR Perry to not have an express prohibition against such behaviour in their workplace policies. Drivers are simply required to remain with their vehicles. The Judge labelled the notion that the employer should have arranged entertainment to prevent employee boredom as "absurd" and said that citing 'boredom' as the chief motivator for the actions of the employee was a speculative assumption.
In the appeal decision, several tests were discussed to determine whether vicarious liability should stand, and the judge found that the injured driver failed to prove that JR Perry ought to be held vicariously liable for the conduct of its employee. The Court highlighted that in order to establish vicarious liability, the act must be committed:
Therefore, vicarious liability is established only where the act of the employee:
It was found that while there wasn't an express prohibition on pranks, there also wasn't any evidence to suggest the employer had condoned such behaviour. As a result it was decided that the action of the employee had not been expressly or ostensibly pursued in the execution of the interest of JR Perry's business.
Key takeaway
The upshot of this case is that an employer should not be found vicariously liable for workplace incidents arising out of unauthorised acts of its employees which are beyond its reasonable control.

An intergender person is someone who defines themselves as in between or beyond the traditional genders or simply refuses to define their gender at all. Intergender is one of many words that people who do not identify simply as either men or women may use to describe their gender identity.
"Intergender" was originally used simply to mean "incorporating both men and women," as in "intergender softball team." Etymologically, the word comes from the Latin "inter-" (between or among), and modern English "gender" (itself from the Old French "gendre," meaning kind).
Some people associate the term "intergender" in its usage as a gender identity with the term intersex. Some intersex people also identify as intergender, but many do not.
Younger folks more commonly use the term Genderqueer now although it is looked down upon by some who dislike usage of "queer".

The Role of Banks in E-Government in Europe
|Paris, France September 25, 2003
By 2008, Celent anticipates that European banks will generate as much as 1.4 billion euros annually thanks to opportunities made available by e-government services.
E-government is shifting gears in Europe. The shift in e-gov to the provision of transactional services is changing the way citizens and businesses interact with their governments. These changes are providing opportunities and threats to the banking industry in Europe, the latter mainly in the form of increasing the cost of doing business by demanding investment in new technologies and by making existing systems redundant.
In a new report, " : Why Banks Should Care About E-Gov," Celent provides an extensive overview of the role banks can and are playing in European e-government initiatives. The report explains in detail why banks need to look at this development now, what type of services they can provide, and how big the associated revenue opportunities are.
"As most European countries have now signed into law a national version of the European Directive on electronic signatures, many are looking to roll out electronic identity cards carrying digital certificates in order to comply with these laws. Unfortunately many governments seem to overlook the critical factors that can make transactional e-government a success," according to Alex Brutin, Celent analyst and author of the report. "Banks therefore need to keep a close eye on e-gov initiatives to gain a good vantage point on the probable outcome and on what investment, if any, should be made."
The 38-page report contains 13 figures and 2 tables.

Gay men love comics, and have been reading and drawing them since before the Stonewall era. That's why they're celebrated at events like the Bent-Con convention, and why gay porn stars sometimes dress up like superheroes. Now, director and longtime comics fan Robert Chandler wants to produce a documentary that explores the evolution of the genre, the talented men who made it what it is today and how its characters have become role models for the gay community.
"The history of gay erotic comics is the history of the gay rights movement," Chandler writes in his pitch. "It's a story of people who risked everything to express themselves. It's a story of who we are and what we desire. It's a story of rebellion, of artists refusing to conform and doing it with style and beauty."
His film, Dirty Sexy Comics, will focus on the past and present of gay comics and use interviews to profile the giants of the industry, including the artists who keep it alive and thriving (such as Patrick Fillion and Dale Lazarov) and those who are no longer with us. Chandler has created a Kickstarter campaign to raise the needed funds to make the movie. Funding ends Sunday, November 30. To learn more and watch a trailer, click here.

The Rainbow Project, Positive Life, FPA and Brook NI have come together to celebrate Sexual Health and Love in style with a whole series of events this Sexual Health Week (11-15 February 2013).
The Rainbow Project has launched its 'Love is' campaign by handing out Valentine's Cards to encourage regular HIV and Syphilis testing for Gay and Bisexual men who remain most at risk of contracting HIV in the UK. James Copeland, Sexual Health Development Officer for The Rainbow Project, said 'currently one in four Gay and Bisexual men with HIV do not know. For us Love is knowing your Sexual Health status. Gay and bisexual men need to take responsible decisions about their Sexual Health and regular testing, at least once a year, is a big part of this. Make a decision today. Book in for a free rapid HIV and Syphilis test at The Rainbow Project's offices in Belfast and Foyle'.

The young people told us Love is 'being cuddled if you're feeling sick', 'forgiveness and communication', 'having a baby together' and of course 'kisses, cuddles, romance and finally sex'.
Positive Life is also working to raise awareness of HIV this week and in oncoming years by releasing their four year strategy, alongside Minister of Health Edwin Poots and MLA Anna Lo, entitled 'Building a Positive Future' at Stormont's Long Gallery yesterday.

What's Up guys it's your A1 bud here and welcome to well my newest upload! My vacations in Vietnam is over and now I can finally create this quick review of the Pokemon Sun and Moon Anime Trailer. Yes you heard me the trailer is out and you can see it in the video section but without further ado let's get riiiight into the review!
So when you watch the anime it introduces you that the Pokemon Sun and Moon Anime will be coming soon in November, then you see our boy Ash Ketchum (I hope he turned 11 already) jumping up scared because he sees a Bewear about to I think crush him with a hug, then you see Team Skull tell their Pokemon to attack and Ash in front of the black guy, his Charizard and the other Pokemon I forgot commands Pikachu to use a Quick Attack, when Ash enters the class he says hello to Alola, then you see Lillie mentioning some kinda Pokemon and Ash wants to see the Pokemon himself, then Ash and Pikachu unleashes the Z-Move and Ash and Pikachu almost runs over a Litten and finally Ash and Pikachu rides a Sharpedo in the water and thats it. Wow guys, when I saw this Trailer my hopes got a little bit better so how will I rate this?
Ok the animation looks good but Ash looks like a regular cartoon character and everyone else looks like a regular anime character. I want the 3D XY/XY&Z Animation to keep on going with the Sun and Moon anime. I don't really like the plot of Sun and Moon because Ash has to go to School, even though he can learn things by experiencing it but at least Ash is still there right? And finally I like the characters but no Serena yet... Wait... NO SERENA?!? But it's okay because it is not 100% confirmed yet and I really look forward to seeing Iris and Cilan again.
Well guys, I really hope you enjoyed today's short preview and see you in the comment section. Bye Guys!

Remedies For Crunching Sound

Who you gonna call when you want to get a project through the review process at LEGO? Brent Waller's your guy. He's the creator of the Ghostbusters 30th anniversary set featuring Ecto-1 with matching minifigs that was recently up for voting on Cuusoo. It got all the support it needed, and LEGO is moving on the project and making it official! Take that, ghosts.
Waller's design has influenced the final product, but you won't get exactly what you see in the project picture above. Final pricing, and availability are still being determined, but you can expect to see the Ecto-1 on store shelves later this year.
Watch the official announcement after the break.

Even though Northwestern has struggled the past few years, Randy Walker has had a good offense. The obvious focal point is Jason Wright. How good do you think he can be?
Well, how good is the offensive line? They asked him and Jason said he was concerned about the offensive line. One of the guys on one of the other websites has Northwestern movie posters. One of the posters says, 'What My Line? Starring Randy Walker and (offensive line coach) Jim Patton.' That is going to be the key to it. They have two really good tackles. They moved probably the best lineman on the team from guard to center, and that is Matt Ulrich. The question is the guards. The guys are probably Ike Ndukwe and Greg Lutzen, last year's starting left defensive end.
It is truly what is my line. That is going to determine the running game.
The other that they are going to have that they did not have last year is a running quarterback. You are going to see Basanez running the ball, unless he is playing on a broken leg.
Then you are going to see Alexander Webb. He is truly a freshman again even though he is a redshirt freshman. He was so good in the spring last year and then he got hurt. He sat in on all the meetings. One of the coaches said, 'he is a freshman in terms of field work, but he is a sophomore in terms of classroom. He is another smart kid. He came to NU early so he has been around the team for two years so he is a good backup. Then you have Derell Jenkins who goes back and forth. He is a quarterback, but they have also used him as a running back because he is just so quick.
What other running threats do they have, aside from Wright and those at the quarterback position?
Noah Herron is a horse. He is 230 and he is a truck coming at you. Herron is a big kid. If Jason has trouble, they are going to go to Noah. If they went to a two-back offense for something you would see the two of them back there and I don't think you want to take on Noah Herron even if Jason is carrying the ball.

Kuujjuarapik, Nunavik
post one: welcome to the blog
Hello Everyone,
This tackk / blog will be a documentation of my adventures while in Kuujjuarapik! I expect there to be many fantastic pictures of northern Canada! I also expect there to be some whining from me about the cold, and how it is awful and exhilarating all at once!
To begin, we need to know where Kuujjuarapik is in reference to the rest of the world! Kuujjuarapik - as described by my new principal - is the Florida of Nunavik. I will need to confirm/deny this statement once I arrive. So far? I am eager to believe it is true! The meaning of Kuujjuarapik is "little great river" in Inuktitut. The Great Whale River flows on the southern side of the community. (Can I say I expect to see a whale? Yes, I think I can.)
Kuujjuarapik is located on the eastern shore of the Hudson Bay. It is north, but there are communities that are even further north than that! Kuujjuarapik is located on Cree reservation land, and because of this, has more than one official name. Kuujjuarapik is also known as Whapmagootsui (meaning "where there are whales" in Cree) and Poste-de-la-Baleine in French.
I know that the post has read like a report so far - and probably will for some time, as I gather more information about my soon-to-be home! I am still hunting down more and more information about Kuujjuarapik. I am keen to share my experiences! There is a link below for those of you that would like a little more information. : )

Halloween is fast approaching which means it's "trick or treat" time. But before you put a knife to that pumpkin, here are some people you need to watch out for.
They may not realize it but they are ruining the celebration for a lot of people around them. Have a look.
#1: These parents who thought dressing up their kids as Jersey Shore cast members was a good idea.
#2: As well as the parents of this kid.
#3: The owner of this poor, poor dog. This is just – cruel.
#4: So is this.
#halloweenfail@YoungLifeAbq I came in like a wrecking ball!! pic.twitter.com/vjyY5qcdeB — YaBoi Z-Vick (@zechariah_vick)

#5: The manufacturers of this "bloody heart" who really need to revise their primary school general science class.
#6: This buyer of these pumpkins.
#7: And whoever thought this could be a real product.
#8: This professor of Physics who is trying too hard.
#9: The people who thought this would be a good idea.
#10: And finally, this kid overdosing on candy.

Jake Peavy isn't a fan of new Yankee Stadium
After giving up three solo home runs in Saturday's loss to the Yankees, White Sox starter Jake Peavy complained about new Yankee Stadium, saying, "they hit the ball in the air and it's a home run."
White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy is not impressed with new Yankee Stadium.
"They hit the ball in the air and it's a home run," Peavy told reporters following Saturday's loss to the Yankees (via the New York Daily News).
Peavy struck out 11 Yankees and gave up eight hits in eight innings, but three of those were solo home runs and New York won 4-0. All three of those homers were hit by left-handed hitters, which got Peavy's ire.
"Every guy is standing on the plate," Peavy said (via the Daily News). "How many balls get hit to the left side of the field? None. They have no interest in hitting the ball that way.
"Except Robinson Cano -- that's why he's hitting .300, because he will use the whole field. Those guys are great hitters, so why wouldn't you? They hit the ball in the air and it's a home run."
The Yankees lead the majors with 122 home runs, with 68 of those at Yankee Stadium. While no slugger would be intimidated by Yankee Stadium, it's not like it's the only park that plays small. As SI.com's Jay Jaffe pointed out on Twitter, according to the Bill James Handbook 2012, his own home stadium, U.S. Cellular Field, has a higher multi-year park HR factor than New Yankee Stadium. Also, according to ESPN.com's park factors for 2012, Yankee Stadium is ninth (three spots behind U.S. Cellular). Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati is the easiest place to hit a homer this season, followed by Miller Park, Chase Field, Coors Field and Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

Ok yesterday I fed LO (little one) at around 4pm and everything was fine. She woke up to eat again at 7 30pm. She nursed for around 15min. And then projectile vomited 3x. She was a little fussy but nothing too bad. I waited a little bit and gave her a bottle of formula which went down great with no spit up. (I did the formula because I thought maybe the one beer I had didnt agree with her but I have drank one before and then nursed with no problems). At 10 she nursed again for about 10mins. Then started spitting up like crazy. It smelled really bad like acid. She was crying like she was in PAIN not hungry. We gave her just a bit of cool water which helped a little (I wanted to get the acid out of her mouth). Then at like 10:45 we gave her another bottle which she took over an hour to drink. She is still crying off and on like she is hurting. So right now I'm going to pump and dump and give her formula.
How long does it take for food to affect the supply so I can try to figure out what I ate? I haven't had anything out of the norm for me including one beer except a new brand of chicken but it was fully cooked. Also how long will I need to pump and dump for before whatever it is is out of my milk?? I know its the milk not reflux. She didn't spit up with the formula at all and although she does spit up sometimes its NEVER been like this. The smell of it is horrible and it was already curdled when she spit up which was within seconds of coming off the boob. Normally if she spits up right away its still milky. She really sounds like she's hurting and I wanna cry with her, especially because I'm making her this way(even though I can't control it).

Strike! RPG: Like 4th edition D&D but good.
You probably noticed, but I can't shut up about this game, so here is a thread for it. Here is a link for it. And here is a synopsis for it.
Setting agnostic, gradient successes on dicerolls (only uses 1d6 but it has rules for 2d6 if that's a dealbreaker for some reason YES I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS), and it uses 4e D&D style combat, which I honestly really liked the look of, but with minimal mathy nonsense tied to it.
Currently I'm running a game of it set in the FTL setting, and I'm about to join a friend's game based on Innistrad. It's p. fun. Helpful Diagrams has proven to be one of the strongest skills in our game. We have psychic space slug Bob Ross.
Yeah, from what I saw of it 13th Age is more my speed for "4th Edition, only with the rough edges filed off". Also the 1d6 is a dealbreaker for me, weirdly. I like my nonlinear result distributions.
From the sound of things, though, the out-of-combat stuff might be more interesting. What kind of tech do they use there?
Well, they have a few systems for certain things, but the one I've gotten the most out of is the Team Conflict rules. In my FTL setting I use it to simulate ship battles, and it seems in general to be their answer to skill challenges.
Basically, your team decides their goal (escape from the asteroid field) and the GM decides the goal for the opposition (pulverize their ship to bits) and the conflict takes place over a few rounds. The players can decide from a number of actions to bolster their Advance (get closer to their goal) and/or Defend (stop the opposition from getting theirs) scores, with more actions available if they're using a skill they're trained in. (If you're using a skill you're not trained in, you stand a chance to learn it, like you would outside of Team Conflicts. Skill acquisition in Strike RPG is intentionally easy.)
Depending on how the GM assigns traits to the opposition (which is also pretty simple: give them a base A/D equal to player count and about half that number from the trait list), you might have to favor different strategies from fight to fight. And if you don't quite pull it off, depending on how many Hits you land, you can downgrade the quality of the other side's victory (maybe the party escapes the asteroid field, but not without their oxygen system being cratered and in dire need of immediate repair).
Skill rolls outside of Team Conflicts are much more straightforward, though. There's different degrees of success depending on skilled or unskilled (but there's no levels of skill unless using the No Skill or Heroic variants, just different tables) and instead of outright failure they instead call it a Twist: you might achieve your goal, you might not, but the important part is that something about the situation has to change, and pretty heavily too (enough that you can't just repeat the roll with no difference). There's a few other things (they added conditions that give disadvantage to skill rolls going forward and which have a mild impact on Team Conflicts and Tactical Combat) but the system is fairly easy to figure out. Almost all of the players I'm running the game for are completely new to pencil/paper gaming.
I really need to pick up a copy of this. I've been running a 13th Age game and as I run more games I realize I'm not getting as much tactical depth as I would like, as well as not really getting anything too new or interesting for out of combat stuff.
Stuff the combat system does, while I'm here.
Building a character for the combat system is simple enough: choose a class (complete with power selection and archetype if that class has one), a role (defender, striker, leader, controller, blaster), and a feat. Done. Classes mostly define the central mechanic of your powers, while role is what niche you serve as far as team comp goes (fixing a minor problem I had with 4e where even if a class' mechanics are cool, maybe our party has too many strikers already).
In combat, you have an attack action, a move action, and a role action. The first two work exactly how you think they do, while the role action is more equivalent to your minor action in 4e: something else you do on your turn that helps the team in some small way. Defenders get their Mark, Controllers can weaken an enemy, Blasters can change up terrain a bit, et cetera. Your role also gives you some passive boosts, primarily things that happen when you roll high enough on an attack (so a Striker deals more damage, a Leader recharges their encounter Tactics power that lets allies move, that sort of thing).
The numbers are decidedly low, and there are no innate stats to build up (4e didn't really have them either, you boosted your two stats your abilities used and ignored all of your others, basically). In fact, player characters don't even exceed their starting 10 health unless they take feats that do so. I haven't incapacitated any characters in my games yet, but I have gotten very close with a few solid hits. Thankfully, the design is that I should stand a chance of Taking Out at least one player per game, and you full-heal before each fight (although conditions gained before the fight can hamper you in it, and just like a Team Conflict, taking too much damage can weaken your victory).
The best thing to do for a group might be making the rules transparent and un intimidating and it doesn't always have to be the DM's job.: 4e has very opaque treasure and experience IMO, luckily I know 4e well enough to know the golden rules so to speak of treasuring and enexperiencing and its no problem. Still annoying though. Why so complex dmd
Everything I'm reading here is the pen and paper call Adventure.
Yeah that's a big part of why I like Strike RPG. Yeah it has a weird wealth system, but that is less work for me and the players to understand, balance, and work with than carefully measuring out WBL and figuring out what assortments of magic items they need to gain per level to maintain the power curve.
It also allows me to more readily make items breakable, steal them for plot reasons, or give them Flaws without worrying I'm rendering characters unplayable.
As someone who's played/run a lot of 4E: just use the inherent bonus rules. That pretty much allows you to remove magic items entirely and still have basic balance (and thus to make them more or less rare/unique/special/disposable/have hidden drawbacks).
Finally ordered a hardcover copy of Strike to replace the softcover I gave away a while back and I might be running a two-PC game of it starting in a few weeks. I'm definitely looking forward to trying it out if we do decide to go forward with it.
My new copy of this came in, time to start working on the Pokemon hack I've been thinking of for the past several days....
Something I learned in the session I ran before last, and that is a very important lesson for any GM running this, particularly if they have any powergamers in their group: it is always better for the PCs if they lose a conflict as opposed to badly winning it.
This mostly applies to Team Conflicts, where the Concession rules make this much more feasible. I'm running an FTL-themed game, and the party was tasked with trying to disable a Lanius ship attacking the colony they were currently stationed on. Because GAMERS NEVER SAY DIE, they were hellbent on winning the combat at all costs, and racked up a stupid amount of Strikes in pursuit of this goal. As a result, while they won and saved the colony, all of them got a ton of Conditions, their ship was seriously damaged, and the Lanius ship escaped (denying them their auxiliary goal of capturing one alive). They basically spent the entire next session convalescing and getting lauded as heroes by the colony.
However, if they'd lost the conflict but left some strikes on the opponent (they decided Strikes landed on the opponent were useless FOR SOME REASON) then the Lanius might've done some serious damage to the colony, but when they boarded the colony to start salvaging scrap, the party could then engage them in hand-to-hand combat, or even ambush one and capture it.
This isn't me trying to justify a railroad plot here, mind you. As the mechanics go, you will be less screwed up if you lose a fight than if you win it by the skin of your teeth. Yes, sometimes the stakes won't really allow you to lose a fight, but you can lose a fight and run away to live another day, and be considerably better off than if you win the fight at the cost of everything you have, and spend the next while rolling everything at -1 AND disadvantage.
But hey, I learned this lesson the hard way so you don't have to.
Oh man someone else is gonna run this and I get to actually play a character I made!
Which I'm putting right here because I'm that excited! We're basically doing a light-hearted mid-to-high fantasy about a group of ragtag adventurers fighting an Evil Overlord because we needed our games to be less dark.

40 Favorite Murals in Phoenix
Mural by Gennaro Garcia and DOSE
Katrina Montgomery
Phoenix is looking colorful lately, and it's not just the usual hues of light and dark beige. Though street art culture dates back decades, the past several years have heralded a new era for murals in our fair city. We've documented the progress in our ongoing series Mural City, but we thought it was about time to compile a list with some of our personal favorites.
See also: 6 Art Exhibitions to See in Metro Phoenix This Summer
We focused in on the three biggest mural hubs in Phoenix: Roosevelt Row, Grand Avenue, and Calle 16. And we were completely blown away by what we saw. Suffice it to say, this list is not comprehensive; it represents a mere fraction of the street art that's out there right now (and we're sure there are many more murals to come).
In celebration of what has been and what will be, here are 40 of our favorite murals in Phoenix right now.
Did we miss your favorite mural? Share it with us in the comments section below.
Mural by Gennaro Garcia and DOSE
Katrina Montgomery
40. Bienvenidos a Arizona
Bienvenidos a Arizona is iconic. Located on the north-facing wall of Deportes America on 16th Street south of Thomas Road, this collaboration between Gennaro Garcia and DOSE may not be new (we covered the piece when it first went up back in 2010), but the colors have not lost their vibrancy.
Mural by Beatrice Moore
Katrina Montgomery
39. Between Innocence and Understanding
Beatrice Moore's mural on the east-facing wall of Kooky Krafts Shop is more than meets the eye. The piece is incredibly detailed (there are even rhinestones in some places to add an extra bit of whimsy).
Mural by Isaac Caruso
Katrina Montgomery
38. Untitled work by Isaac Caruso
The large sunflowers on the north-facing wall of MonOrchid always feel a bit like a secret slice of happiness. The mural was made to honor the Valley of the Sunflowers project that activated an empty lot near Roosevelt. It's perhaps appropriate that the mural itself backs up to a vacant lot.
Mural by Lalo Cota and El Mac
Katrina Montgomery
37. Untitled collaboration between Lalo Cota and El Mac (additional artists' work not pictured)
We love the contrast here of the black and white with the bright colors. The artists are working in very different styles, but it looks great together. The south-facing wall of Por Vida Gallery on 16th Street south of Thomas Road features more local talent as well (you can see a bit of Thomas "Breeze" Marcus' line work in this image near the top of the wall).
Mural by Averian Chee, Angel Diaz, Xochitl Enriquez, Jeff Slim, Kim Smith, and members of the Cyphers Center for Urban Art
Katrina Montgomery
36. Water Writes
Backed by the Estria Foundation and Black Mesa Water Coalition, this mural is one of 10 in a global series of Water Writes murals. This particular iteration of Water Writes is a collaboration between Averian Chee, Angel Diaz, Xochitl Enriquez, Jeff Slim, Kim Smith, and members of the Cyphers Center for Urban Art. Located on the south-facing wall of Valley Youth Theater on First Street and Fillmore, it seeks to bring attention to the water issues particular to the Sonoran desert.

China yuan near 19-year high versus US dollar as exchange reserves grow
The yuan traded within 0.2 per cent of a 19-year high yesterday, amid speculation capital inflows would spur appreciation.
China might face "large scale" inflows of speculative funds in the next few years, which would drive asset prices higher and push up consumer prices, Su Ming, deputy head of the Ministry of Finance's research institute for fiscal science, said in an article published yesterday in People's Daily. New-home prices rose last month in 68 of 70 cities tracked by the government, data showed on Saturday.
"When the property outlook is improving, more people tend to bring capital into China," said Jonathan Cavenagh, a strategist at Westpac Banking Corp.
"Authorities see that as a risk, creating a stronger exchange-rate environment than what they are happy with."
The yuan rose to 6.14 per dollar yesterday in Shanghai. It touched 6.13 on May 9, the strongest level since the government unified official and market exchange rates at the end of 1993. The currency was 0.97 per cent stronger than the central bank's reference rate, which was little changed yesterday at 6.1998.
The spot rate is allowed to diverge from the fixing by a maximum of 1 per cent.
China's foreign-exchange reserves, the world's largest, climbed by US$131 billion in the first quarter to a record US$3.44 trillion.
The jump in the reserves is large enough for China to be judged a currency manipulator by the US Treasury, Tim Condon, Singapore-based head of Asia research at ING, wrote in a note. The nation faces "relatively large pressures" from capital inflows and yuan appreciation, Ji Zhihong, an official at the research bureau of the People's Bank of China, was quoted as saying in People's Daily.

The Westwego City Council plans to hold another special meeting on the plans for a new City Hall building, this time to allow one of the council members to express concerns about potential cost overruns.
Councilman Glenn Green would not provide any further details Tuesday about the reason for meeting, which is slated for 7 p.m. Wednesday, but he said multiple revisions to the long-awaited building's design have led him to worry that costs could start ballooning once construction begins.
The $3.3 million project has hit one delay after another. First, local officials had to hash out funding with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In early 2013, council members debated whether to include a drive-up window in the building, which would have required closing a nearby road. Then in May, the construction bids came in about $500,000 over budget, requiring a new, scaled-back design.
The new building, which will be located on Fourth Street, is expected to take 12 months to build once construction starts.
The council also will use Wednesday's meeting to take up a few other matters, including a discussion about trains on the New Orleans Gulf Coast Railway tracks marshaling cars in areas where they're not supposed to do that.
Green said they are supposed to unhitch and connect cars behind the Celotex property but instead are doing it near homes, and residents have been complaining about the noise.

Arty and Mat Catastrophe, as an ex-KIGR employee let me tell you both a story...Having worked there from 2007-early 2012 there is soooo much waste in energy water etc... yet so much focus is on trimming the labor side of the budget it's sickening. From 2009-2011 employee wages were either stagnant or decreased. Yet, my oh my owner Bill Goodwin went out and bought himself a new resort called Keswick Hall. Amazingly many of the employees didn't event know about it. The resort has to import a fair share of it's seasonal labor, partly due to the work being seasonal, partly due to "not being able to find quality workers", but I wonder what quality of worker you would find who can barely afford to pay for rent food, gas, car payments, god forbid they want to go out for dinner. There are positions that REQUIRE a university degree that start out at $7.25...yes these positions "have the opportunity to earn tips". I would be careful in the assessment of where the money is flowing...my experience tells me it flows up.
@ Phil: Yes, I did leave out Clinton as I stated that "the Obama administration is doing leaps and bounds more than the Bush or Reagan administrations"...I'd have to put more effort into comparing the Obama admin to Clinton admin. Reagan took the solar panels off of the white house and reduced the fleet mpg, and Bush Jr....well saying that he is a carbon based life form is about as environmental a statement as I can make about him (http://www.nrdc.org/bushrecord/)
Using rainwater harvesting, instead of potable city water, is a big deal. Every gallon of potable water spared saves energy, chemicals, and maintenance at the treatment plant, which also saves tax payer monies. Rainwater, usually, is better for the landscape anyway. The only way to lose water that is consumable to humans is to not care. In elementary school science we had a gallon jug to represent all of the water on Earth. Out of the jug, if I'm remembering this correctly, 1/2 cup was fresh water, and out of that only an eyedropper was easily accessable to humans for consumption.
As someone who has had to hand pump their gallon of rationed water for the day, fresh water access is only a laughing matter to those who can afford to laugh about it.
This is a good article promoting the forward thinking that is needed to move the tourism industry forward. We are in a great transition period of destructive fossil fuel usage to more efficient and renewable sources. Thank you for being a part of this movement and a champion in light of those who live under a rock.
And to gfryesc,
The Obama administration is doing leaps and bounds more that the Bush or Reagan administrations did to improve our national energy efficiency and renewable production. Even in light of the politicians bought out by BIG Oil and BIG Coal. While you may not care about acid rain, ozone holes, or deforestation in tropical rain forests because you apparently don't need water or food or air, there are humans that don't survive on ignorance. And if Climate Change isn't such a big deal why then professor would Exxon-Mobil have efforts dedicated to "Managing Climate Change Risks"? http://www.exxonmobil.com/corporate/safety…. And why would military and intelligence analysts say climate change is a threat to US security if it wasn't a big deal? http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/09/science/…

We see this happen every year.
A team--usually a sixth seed who just barely squeezes in to the postseason--turns up the heat and slices through their opponents unexpectedly.
Last year, it was the Cardinals, who reached the Super Bowl after putting up 30+ in all three of their playoff games against Atlanta, Carolina and Philadelphia. Because of their 9-7 record, there were doubters each of those three weeks as Arizona was just one defensive stop away from pulling of the ultimate upset in the Super Bowl.
The year before that it was New York's other franchise, the Giants, led by today's highest-paid quarterback Eli Manning. Manning, with the help from a drive-saving helmet catch by practice squad member David Tyree, conquered the "giants" (the then 18-0 New England Patriots), 17-14.
Pittsburgh's near-impossible fifth Super Bowl victory came in 2005, coming in as the AFC's sixth seed. Sophomore quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Dick LeBeau's nasty, blitz-happy defense became road warriors, winning three consecutive games away from Heinz Field. They then beat the NFC's top team, Seattle, to help future Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis go out on top.
Through the first two weeks of the playoffs, rookie head coach Rex Ryan seems to be leading his Jets to the same destiny as Cowher's Steelers. Ryan's intensity, especially on the defensive side of the ball, is what is keeping this team in it. With rookie Mark Sanchez under center, Ryan has pounded the ball away with the solid running back tandem of Thomas Jones and the explosive rookie from Iowa, Shonn Greene.
During the regular season, New York had the top running game in the league, out-gaining the Titans (second-most) by nearly 200 yards. The fact that they were also had the least amount of passing attempts says a lot about Ryan's offensive game plan: run early and often, keep ball out of Sanchez's hands.
The defense has shut down opponents as well, meaning they could get away with running the ball a lot more. New York finished with the no. 1 overall defense (first against pass, eighth against rush) and eighth in turnovers forced.
All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis deserves a lot of credit for the success. Revis shut down several Pro Bowl receivers throughout the season, which includes Andre Johnson, Terrell Owens, Steve Smith and Chad Ochocinco (twice). The fact of the matter here is, New York is the most dangerous team right now after taming the powerful Chargers offense and shutting Ochocinco up during the Wild Card game. If they can run the ball against Indianapolis as well as they have in the past two weeks, I have no doubts that they will be able to keep up with Peyton Manning.
Revis should be able to slow down Reggie Wayne, forcing Manning to hold on to the ball longer. It's no coincidence that the Jets' opponents have posted a 58.9 QB rating throughout the season, they know how to pressure the quarterback and are bound to get to Peyton at some point. Indianapolis will not be able to win this game through the ground. I really think that, if Sanchez can stay mistake-free like he has recently, New York will be able to send Jim Caldwell's team home.
New York may be Super Bowl Bound.
