Sunny Vilnius
Hi from hot, sunny Vilnius. They're having a heat wave in this part of Europe, so it's been up well above 30 degrees every day. Not exactly what I had in mind when I envisioned escaping Montreal's heat for cooler pastures. But I made it here in one piece, and aside from the heat, it's pretty awesome so far.
I arrived at the airport after a less-than-pleasant flight sandwiched in a middle seat next to a mom with a lap baby who kept pulling up and ...

Finsbury Gage should be dead.
He spent his final moments beside his wife, helpless, as a crazed man in a runaway urban assault vehicle smeared their car across the highway.
Then he woke up. Six months later at a Second Skyn restoration clinic, with clean white sheets draped over his healthy replacement body and the memory of his wife's death stuck on repeat in his new prosthetic brain. A recovery team had been close enough to the accident to capture his mind before his body died. His wife wasn't so lucky.

Darth Vader Super Bowl 2011 Volkswagen Commercial
Young Darth Vader learns the power of the force in the new Volkswagen Commercial.
Super Bowl XLV is right around the corner and the Green Bay Packers are gearing up for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Companies are also getting ready for their highly anticipated Super Bowl commercials. We have a sneak peek at a brand new Volkswagen Commercial which joins the dark side. In the commercial we see a young Darth Vader (Star Wars) learning to use the "force."
It's quite an interesting commercial and I would have never picked Volkswagen to incorporate Star Wars into their ad campaign. It just gives us a small glimpse at what is in store this year as far as Super Bowl commercials go.
Enjoy the Darth Vader Volkswagen Super Bowl 2011 commercial below:
Make you tune in this Sunday to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Green Bay Packers and enjoy all of the commercials as well.

The past couple weeks have been stressful with the sheer volume of work that has been coming at us, and I think I can look forward to another crazy week coming up soon. So, I'm taking the weekend to recharge my batteries and remember some of the projects that really had me excited.
The Buddha sat 14 inches from the lotus flower base to the top of his head. The bronzed wood box added about another 5 inches. The whole statue is made of modeling chocolate, brushed with edible powder pigment to get a bronzed effect. The wood box is in fact a huge block of Rice Crispies. Time taken: approx. 18-20 hours.
This order was for a group of geneticists who study fruit flies. I actually had the rare opportunity to meet the clients who ordered this cake. When they told me what they had in mind, I let them know there would be fighting amongst the sculptors to get to make this one. Its sciencey, its anatomical, its creepy, cute, and gross (all at once,) and it freaked out the decorators, so I loved every second of this project. The little hairs are bits of floral wire. The same wire runs through the legs are the silhouette of one of the wings. The rest of it is solid white chocolate. Time taken: Approx. 16 hours.

Army of the Potomac.
[from our own correspondent.]
another Artillery duel.
Fairfax C. H., Sept. 12.
An hour ago, as I came upon the Centreville road, I called on Major Walton, of the Washington Artillery, from whom I learned that a battle took place yesterday in the vicinity of Munson's hill.
Early in the morning, information was brought in that the Federals in strong force were crossing by the Cham Bridge for the purpose of attacking our advance, and of driving us from the present commanding position.
Captain Rosser, of the second company of the Washington Artillery, having four guns, two rifled cannon, and two howitzers, were sent out to engage them.
Their battery was supported by three companies of infantry, of Colonel Kemper's regiment, consisting of three hundred and eight men, and a small body of cavalry.
The Federals were met at Louvansville, five miles from Falls Church, and about the same distance from the bridge, where a sharp and decisive battle commenced, which, from the number of men engaged, may be ranked a little above the usual skirmishes.
The distance of the enemy, and the careful manner in which they concealed all their movements, prevents us from ascertaining accurately the number of the Yankees, but it is certain they had two batteries, containing eight guns, some twenty-eight hundred or three thousand men, and considerable cavalry.
The fight commenced with the artillery at long range, the shots from the Washington artillery falling with great accuracy into the ranks of the enemy.
What the effect of these shots were is not known, and, on account of the skill of the Yankees in concealing disagreeable facts, probably never will be; but during the engagement Capt. Rosser and his men fired sixty-six rifle shots--forty-five spherical case, seventeen shell and three canister.
Considering the precision with which this company have heretofore sent their missiles at the enemy, and the number of shots fired, it may be safely supposed that the Federal loss was by no means slight, and that the battle was of some duration.
The enemy also used their guns and fired shot after shot in quick succession, but fired badly.
It was another artillery duel.
That our fire was having its effect soon became apparent, for they gradually fled from their guns, the infantry falling back, until a panic was created and there commenced another scene similar to the last act of drama on the Plains of Manassas.
There was a complete rout.
The Yankees fled in terror, throwing away their canteens and haversacks, which were dead weights in the race, and broke like quarter-horses for the Potomac and a spot of safety beyond it.
They crossed again by the Chain Bridge, bearing away their dead and wounded, but in the pursuit five or six bodies were seen by the roadside, which they were unable to carry.
As I have previously said, the number of men put hors du combat will not be known probably.
None of the artillery on our side were injured, but there are rumors that two or three of our infantry were wounded.
How true this may be, I cannot say to-night; but can get farther particulars in the morning.
The facts as I have given them are from the official report of Capt. Rosser, which Major Walton received this morning.
I learn since arriving in this village that some prisoners were captured just before the fight commenced, who were endeavoring to make their way to the advancing enemy.
A Lieutenant with a squad of men had been out scouting, and had obtained some information which would have been valuable had they escaped with it. These men are from one of the Indiana regiments, and it is said that they were anxiously awaiting the termination of the fight, feeling entire confidence in the ability of their Yankee friends to release them.--These men are now in Fairfax, and will be sent on to Richmond to-morrow.
At this time I am unable to learn what part the infantry or the cavalry took in the fight, but shall get more particulars to-morrow, when I can add additional facts and correct any misstatement that may have been made this evening.
As the facts are given, it will be seen that this little victory is one of the most brilliant we have won in this campaign.
Hardly four hundred men engage a force of ten to one, rout them, and drive them like whipped curs from their kennels.
This is the third time McClellan has ordered a sortie upon our lines, and the third time he has been repulsed and ignominiously whipped.
His success thus far has not been very alarming to our cause. G. M.

The world's 14th largest company, according to Fortune magazine, also intends to invest in several social welfare projects.
Samsung is renowned in South Korea for its social responsibility, and is believed to have studied Cadbury's Bournville community in the west Midlands.
The company, which is building a £600m electronics factory on Teeside, will next week unveil a five-year plan to expand in the UK and Europe. Like Japanese and other South Korean companies, Samsung wants to globalise its manufacturing operations and intends to use the UK as its bridge into the EU.
Next week's announcement will include detailed plans for investments in community projects alongside its factories and offices. The company is believed to be considering building housing and community centres.
Samsung has been impressed by Bournville, one of several towns established by philanthropists last century. A source said the company has a "vision to build a community''.
It is unclear whether the headquarters would be built in London, or at the Teeside plant. Samsung already has an electronics division in Frankfurt, but wants to establish a centre for its other divisions - engineering, chemicals and financial services.
All these operations will be developed in Europe, with the headquarters employing up to 500 people within five years.
Samsung is the biggest and oldest of South Korea's family-owned business empires. Its chairman has been known to telephone offices in the evening, chastising employees for working late when they should be at home with their families.
The new president of the European operation is to be Sung Rai Choi.
As well as the Teeside electronics plant, Samsung plans a UK excavator manufacturing plant, and may form a joint venture in Europe with NEC to build a computer chip factory. There has also been talk of Samsung entering into car manufacturing.
Germany has so far attracted most South Korean investment in Europe, with 20 per cent of the total. The UK is second with 16 per cent, but that is likely to change. Daewoo and Mitsubishi are both increasing their UK investment.

Martin Van Buren
Served 1837-1841
Martin Van Buren was born December 5, 1782, in Kinderhook, New York. His father owned a tavern, and when he was little, he listened to famous men such as Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr argue politics when they often visited. His nickname, "Old Kinderhook," has been credited as the origination of the American expression "OK," coined at that time for the town he was born in.
Van Buren married Hannah Hoes on February 21, 1807, and had four sons. He was also called the "Little Magician" because he was so good at making politicians with different opinions agree.
Elected Jackson's Vice-President in 1832, Van Buren became the last sitting Vice-President for 156 years to win election as President. A Democrat, Van Buren's Vice President was Richard M. Johnson. During his term, many important inventions changed American life, including Morse's telegraph, Deere's steel plow, McCormick's mechanical reaper, and Goodyear's vulcanized rubber. Slavery was a growing issue during Van Buren's time.
Van Buren died July 24, 1862.

November 17, 2013Hello
The Presidential Museums website is launched today, November 18th, and we are notifying as many people as we can to come on board and join the celebration. It is an important part of this web site to institute the CALENDAR feature and to keep it up to date with the direct input and co-operation of each Presidential Museum and Library starting with our dear "friend" and number 31 President of the United States, Herbert Hoover. We will be in touch with the Museums, asking for their help, this week so be on the look out for our call.
This feature along with the monthly Calendar will also, we anticipate, act as a round robin and a chatter box about not just the Obama presidency, while we admit there is a lot to chat about there, but also involve all the presidencies. Join in on the trivia, gossip, chatter and "twitter" will help make us all learned historians, so come on aboard and be our guest.
Claire McLean,
Founder and CEO

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 17, 1972:
- Arrests had been made and charges filed after an incident this week where a motorist had attempted to trade pills, believed to be LSD, for a new tire. A man and woman in a car with California tags had stopped at a service station near Ninth and Iowa, where they had attempted the exchange. After declining the trade, the station attendant had notified police of the couple, whose car was later stopped on the Kansas Turnpike in Leavenworth County. Terry Campbell, Leavenworth County deputy sheriff, said that about 2,700 tablets had been found in the search of the two persons and their card, with about 2,500 pills found in the lining of the coat the woman had been wearing. The tablets had been packed in groups of approximately 100 in small plastic bags.
- The number of Lawrence children registered for the "Toys for Tots" program was the largest in local history, but the toy donations had been slow to arrive so far, said Douglas County Red Cross director Jo Byers. The toys collected so far all were used, and many of them were in poor condition, Byers said.

Rotterdam – a brief overview
Amsterdam may have the cutesy canals, but Rotterdam is the Dutch city with the most cosmopolitan vibe. Its character is based around a confident melange of futuristic architecture and a long history of harmonious multiculturalism. This creates an exciting blend of young and old, bold and brash. The constantly changing high-rise skyline has given rise to its nickname: 'Manhattan-on-the-Maas'.
But the city isn't all steel and glass towers. Historic Delfshaven escaped war damage and retained its charming character. Europe's most important port also boasts great museums, top shopping opportunities and vibrant nightlife, making it a must-see destination.

Country Information
Country overview
A small country with a big profile, the Netherlands offers a beguiling blend of rural, traditional beauty and vibrant culture. Occupying a delta at the confluence of three major rivers where they empty into the North Sea, it is truly a water world: canals, coast and lakes are never far from view. Flat as a pannenkoek, it also makes an ideal destination for cycling, an integral mode of transport among the Dutch themselves.
Holland (as the country is alternatively referred to) is also a deeply cosmopolitan place where museums overflow with paintings from its Golden Age, and a cavalcade of festivals showcase performing artists from within and beyond its borders.
The Netherlands shares borders to the south with Belgium and to the east with Germany, while the North Sea lies to the north and west. Large areas of The Netherlands have been reclaimed from the sea and consequently one-fifth of the country lies below sea level. The country is flat and level and is criss-crossed by rivers and canals.
Areas reclaimed from the sea, known as polders, are extremely fertile. The landscape is broken by the forest of Arnhem, the bulb fields in the west, the lakes of the central and northern areas, and coastal dunes that are among the most impressive in Europe.

The cost is €0.10 per pulse for local calls. Telephone information is given in French, English and German.
Mobile Telephone

Shopping in Rotterdam
Key Areas
Rotterdam's main shopping drags are the streets heading off and around Beursplein. Pedestrianised Lijnbaan will be a particularly happy hunting ground for high-street names and department stores. Witte de Withstraat has trendy galleries, while most high-end fashion outlets centre around Van Oldenbarneveltstraat.
Vast Binnenrotteplein, just east of Blaak station, transforms regularly into one of the Netherlands' largest street markets. Every Tuesday and Saturday around 500 stalls sell fruit and veg, meat and fish, books, clothes, household goods, general bric-a-brac, and of course flowers. A smaller market sets up on Sundays except in the winter months.
Shopping Centres
The city's largest shopping mall is Alexandrium (Korte Poolsterstraat 2), located a couple of kilometres east of the centre and close to Rotterdam Alexander railway station. It has around 200 outlets covering every daily need from food to household accessories.
Flight and accommodation
Traveller etiquette
The Dutch are a tolerant breed and there is little you can do or say to ruffle them (except perhaps to display your own intolerance of, say, ethnic minorities or alternative lifestyles). Their straightforwardness can sometimes strike foreigners as blunt, if not plain rude. Conversely, the Dutch will expect you to be direct as well: yes means yes, not 'maybe.'
It is customary to shake hands when seeing someone you know or when being introduced to someone; women and men or women and women may kiss each other on alternating cheeks three times.
You may be fashionably late for social gatherings but not for business meetings. Casual wear is generally acceptable, except for business functions or at smart restaurants, bars and clubs.
Flight and accommodation
Main emergency number: 112
Food & Drink
According to Oxfam, The Netherlands is the best country in the world for having the most plentiful, nutritious, healthy and affordable diet. Suffice to say, then, travellers couldn't be in a better place as far as food quality and hygiene is concerned. As in most developed nations, tap water in The Netherlands is safe to drink.
Other Risks
People visiting The Netherlands have a low risk of contracting diseases, but medical professionals advise travellers to make sure they are up-to-date on routine vaccinations before every trip.
Hepatitis A and B are present around the world and can be transmitted through contaminated food, sexual contact and contaminated needles. Speak to your doctor to see if vaccinations are right for you. Rabies is present in bats in The Netherlands, but is not found in dogs. If you are planning to go caving in The Netherlands or work with bats, it may be worth having a rabies vaccination.
Perhaps the biggest health risk in The Netherlands is that of sunburn. It might not always feel hot during the summer months, but the UV rays are still strong – be sure to pack plenty of sunscreen and make sure you stay hydrated.
Flight and accommodation
Visa & Immigration
IATA Travel Centre
The IATA Travel Centre delivers accurate passport, visa and health requirement information at a glance. It is a trusted, centralized source for the latest international travel requirements. The IATA Travel Centre is the most accurate source available because it is based on a comprehensive database used by virtually every airline, and information is gathered from official sources worldwide, such as immigration and police authorities.

Deploy and run government applications
GOV.UK Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a quick, easy and cheap way to deploy and host government applications. GOV.UK PaaS manages the platform infrastructure, so you can focus on building your digital services.
Ask for a trial accountYou'll be able to deploy test applications in a safe environment and test the features of the command line tool.
Benefits of GOV.UK PaaS
Using GOV.UK PaaS means teams can deploy and run applications without having to build and manage their own infrastructure. This avoids unnecessary repetition across government, with infrastructure and webops engineers spending less time solving the same problems.
Service teams can:
- save time and money on setting up a hosting infrastructure
- deploy and run applications written in a range of languages and frameworks
- rapidly scale applications
- easily manage applications
- get 24-hour platform-level support
- get started easily with a simple procurement process
What it is
GOV.UK PaaS is hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and runs from AWS's European data centre in Ireland. GOV.UK PaaS:
- is resilient since it operates across three independent availability zones
- supports a PostgreSQL database service (powered by AWS)
- allows SSH access to containers
- is accredited for handling personal and confidential information classified as Official
- is built on an open source platform (Cloud Foundry) and deployed to a public cloud
- is flexible since applications aren't locked into one cloud provider
GOV.UK PaaS is already being used by the GOV.UK Trade Tariff live service, as well as several services building prototypes.
Find out more about GOV.UK PaaS. This includes how it's built, run and supported, as well as how to use it.
What you pay for
You pay for what you use, like hosting, compute resource and backing services such as a database. The Government Digital Service (GDS) will pay for building and maintaining the platform.
The overall cost depends on factors such as the number of environments you deploy to, the size and number of your applications and whether they need to have high availability.
Criteria for deploying an application to GOV.UK PaaS
Your application can run on GOV.UK PaaS if it:
- follows the twelve-factor application principles – this will be the case if your application was written to be deployed to another PaaS, such as Heroku
- doesn't require any backing service apart from a PostgreSQL database
- doesn't carry data certified as Secret or above
- is written in a supported language
Contact the team
GOV.UK PaaS is built and managed by a full-time team of developers, webops engineers, product managers and user researchers at GDS.
The product manager is Jess O'Leary.

You are too dumb to comment on this post if you think there are only self defense or murder charges that can be presented in a killing.
this guy has to be a troll tbh nobody is that dumb on purpose. Also, why you fools keep making it about black and white? Zimmerman back as wet as skeps when he ran to the slip and slide in disneyland running from a well known rm member.
nah. zimmerman is gonna be fine if he is found innocent, which i believe will happen trayvon should have ran away instead of beatin' up zimmerman because zimmerman ran up on him. i know trayvon's defending himself because a stranger is following him is not as solid as zimmerman defending himself because he ignored a 911 operator's suggestion not to follow trayvon but hey.. ..that's america's justice system. i think we all know that tray would still be alive if george didn't follow him. the thing is.. it's obviously a trivial point of the case because pretty much every legal expert i have seen on t.v. says zim following trayvon has no weight on the outcome of the case.
He's getting off Then becoming a millionaire after suing CNN and msnbc for all the false shit they reported about him
Yeah I mean ... You can follow a suspicious nigguh through your neighborhood all you want, that shit is not against the law at all.

Want to eat the best…whatever? No worries! Sydney has reached a kind of culinary superstardom which, to be honest, no-one could've envisaged 20 years ago. Gone are the days of shrimps and snags on the barbie, boiled spuds and charcoaled to death rissoles! They've been replaced by world-class beef, succulent seafood, the best pizzas outside of Italy, authentic (insert any Asian country) fare and a caffe' culture which would make most Roman baristas blush with envy. Let's not even bother mentioning the beers.
Sydney offers plenty of brawn with her brains too. This isn't just a city with substance; this is the most beautiful city in the world. Not the most historic, not the most artistic, but crikey is she a beeuudy mate!
Surely there must be a downside to all this Utopian perfection!? Well yes, namely one horrid pain in the butt: the 'peak hour traffic'. Much like the coveted happy hour in South America, Sydney's peak hour can last anything between two and 24 hours, start and end at totally random times and has become such a BIG problem, that locals fear it will soon claim independence, and start printing its own currency. Oh, speaking of which, printing your own currency would also come in rather handy because, ironically enough, Sydney's second biggest downside is its exorbitant expense. Recently, the city along with her sister-hub of Melbourne, has been gallantly placed in the top 10 most expensive cities in the world indeed Sydney's prices may appear utterly insane at first glance. At second and third glance too.
The best of Down Under may come at a price, granted, but the only thing we can just about guarantee is that the moment you take but a single glance at that harbour you'll be so blinded by the spectacle, you'll forget all about that credit card bill which will await your return home.
Here's a breakdown of Sydney's hubs to help you best decide where to base yourself on your trip.
Sydney Guide – Sydney City Centre
This section includes all the places in the heart of the city and nearby, which could easily be reached on foot. Well, with flat heeled shoes at least. The CBD has gone through a major personality change over the decades and is now even busier on week-ends than during the week day, when office dwellers are replaced by shoppers and diners. City centre accommodation is, unsurprisingly, the most expensive choice in Sydney. Shop, eat, drink and be merry while you meander your way from the Queen Victoria Building to Pitt St. Mall and up the Centrepoint Tower for sweeping views of the city and its metropolitan areas all the way to the Blue Mountains.
From here you have three options: you can either head to Hyde Park, the most popular lunchtime retreat for busy city workers, Darling Harbour and Cockle Bay, the dining and bar-hopping hub of the city or, if you can't wait any longer, head straight down Pitt St until you reach Circular Quay, the harbour side promenade home to the Sydney Opera House and the Botanical Gardens to the right and the Sydney Harbour Bridge and The Rocks to the left. An easy 10 min walk will see you reach the heart of Oxford St, home to the city's best gay clubs, as well as Paddington, the trendy dining & shopping hub in town. Tough choice, we know.
<h2″>To the North
North Sydney is the second-largest CBD in the whole Metropolitan area, but you won't find too many nouveau riche yuppies here who have made their money from the arts, if you know what we mean. The 'newest' area of Sydney has seen an insane increase in popularity over the last two decades as many businesses have relocated here from the much more expensive city centre.
Nowadays, the northern Sydney suburbs are home to major corporations, pharmaceutical companies and banks, and are the address of choice of some of the country's up and coming elite. This area is clean, leafy and almost a tad too tree-hugging-obsessed, being the first in the country to introduce smoking bans on public streets (seriously).
For the tourist, of course, this spells out gorgeous looking and ultra modern yet nature-drenched suburbs, ease of access to Mrs Macquarie's Chair (the most breath-taking harbour viewpoint of all), Manly Beach (the true Aussie surfer's mecca), Palm Beach (where Home and Away is filmed) and the Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park, an absolutely stunning reserve of rainforests, eucalyptus-filled woods and vertiginous rocky cliffs. This is by far the northern side's most appealing feature…a protected natural haven merely a few minutes' (or hours, depending) drive from the centre of the city.
The northern suburbs are relatively well serviced by Sydney Rail and Buses, but distances in Sydney are all relative so if you do want to base yourself here count in much travel-time, and the inclination to stay on this side of the bridge.
To the East
Home to Sydney's 'old-money elite' here is where you'll find mansions going for stupid-million-dollars in Point Piper and Rose Bay, incredibly posh boutiques and, just a few kilometres out, the ridiculously beautiful Watsons Bay promontory. These parts are so aesthetically greedy they make the northern suburbs look almost ordinary. Pffff. Suburbs here look a little more 'lived in' with heritage listed historic mansions adorning almost every second avenue.
From here, you can just keep following the coast around until it meets with trendy Bondi, Bronte and Tamarama beaches, where the city's pretty youth converges en masse to sun bake and frolic about. All of this…merely 10kms out of the city's centre.
To the West
For many years, Sydney's west was a rather run-down grunge-fest, and as we all know this in inevitably what ends up being re-christened the 'trendiest' part of any town. Closest to the city centre is über-trendy Newtown with its infinite array of ethnic eateries, cool pubs and wacky shops. Head to Leichhardt, Sydney's Little Italy, for the most authentic pizzas, or venture out to Petersham for the best charcoaled chicken outside of Lisbon. In the inner-most inner-west is where you'll find leafy Glebe and Annandale, both home to gorgeous B&Bs, restaurants and a plethora of outdoor cafes too. These areas are teeming with backpackers, small boutique hotels and lots of above-pub rooms for rent for that real authentic Aussie experience.
To the South
The southern fringe of Sydney, out toward the airport, is probably the least interesting to visitors, even though it is the gateway to some great day-trip destinations like Wollongong, Kyama and Jervis Bay. Head here to watch dolphins frolic off the coast, visit charming seaside villages and spend the day hiking and swimming in the simply stunning Royal National Park. If you want to save on accommodation during your Sydney stay, then we suggest you look up suburbs like Brighton-Le-Sands and Cronulla; they have decent beaches and somewhat good public transport links to the city.
How to get into Syndney:
Sydney's Kingsford-Smith International Airport is merely 6km from the city centre and, being the major hub of the whole country is serviced by all major international airlines. The ultra-modern airport is certainly busy enough to be operated 24hrs/day yet its close proximity to the city has made this an impossibility due to suburban noise-level restrictions.
You can reach Sydney via non-stop flights from Asia and the Middle-East and overnight (usually one-stop) flights from Europe and the Americas. Once here, you can also reach every corner of the country, but do keep in mind due to the sheer size of it, domestic flights in Australia can be expensive when compared with most other countries around the world. Just to give you an idea, a Sydenysider is likely to score a cheaper flight to Bali, Indonesia, then some of the remotest hubs of Northern Queensland.
If taking a domestic flight from Sydney, do check your ticket closely as some domestic flights depart from the International Terminal T1 which, which not only is quite the hike from the Domestic Terminals, but also requires a much longer check-in process.
Sydney Airport has direct train links to the city's Central Station (along the south-western lines), from where all the suburbs can be reached. Don't have a coronary once you realize the short train ride to the city will cost you almost AUD16! Sydney's not that expensive just yet, but a special Airport-line levy means the price of a standard ticket is almost quintupled.
You can also hop aboard the Shuttle Bus which will deliver you to the door of your city centre hotel. Tickets can be purchased from the arrivals terminal, and cost as much as the train so may be well worth your while.
How to get around Sydney:
There are a few ways to get around Sydney: by train, light-rail, (the soon to be defunct) monorail, bus, car and ferry. Generally, any kind of movement in the city tends to be faster on foot, even though there are many buses which ply the route up and down George St, and at least half a dozen train stations exist within the CBD.
Out of the very central area, due to the traffic 'issue', the best way to get around Sydney is via CityRail even though buses tend to enjoy their own private, special little lanes. There are a few things to consider, however. Some places, like infinitely popular Bondi Beach, can only be reached by bus from the closest train station, in this case, Bondi Junction.
Other places, like Manly Beach for example, are infinitely easier to get to via the swift Sydney Ferries' service from Circular Quay. Although the following places can be reached by either bus or train, it is faster, easier and infinitely nicer to reach them via ferry from CQ: Darling Harbour, Balmain, Luna Park, Watsons Bay, Olympic Park and Taronga Zoo and Parramatta. The first two ferry routes will see you zoom right under the Harbour Bridge, for that extra-kitsch tourist experience.
Sydney's Light-rail runs along a 7km route from the city centre to Darling Harbour, passing the Casino, Pyrmont, Central and Lilyfiels. By and large, this is possibly the most useless and unnecessary form of transport around this area, although if planned extensions do come into fruition it will certainly have some potential benefits.
The monorail was always meant to be a 'tourist attraction' more than a bona-fide means of transport, and it even seemed to flop in that regard. Turns out looking into office buildings in and around the city is not nearly as much fun as looking at the harbour. Go figure. The monorail will bid its final farewell in June/July of 2013. Bye bye.
Renting a car to get around Sydney is about as smart as packing a bikini for a trip to Antarctica. Pack it all you want…you're never gonna use it. Between the congestion, the crazy parking fees and traffic fines (for mistakenly getting into those precious special bus lanes), it may end up being the most expensive thing you do here.

This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Push-to-talk (PTT), also known as press-to-transmit, is a method of having conversations or talking on half-duplex communication lines, including two-way radio, using a momentary button to switch from voice reception mode to transmit mode.
History in two-way radio[edit]
For example, an air traffic controller usually talks on one radio frequency to all aircraft under his/her supervision. Those under the same frequency can hear others' transmissions while using procedure words such as "over" and "out" to provide order during the conversation. In doing so, they are aware of each other's actions and intentions, and do not hear any background noise from the ones who are not speaking. Similar considerations apply to police radio, the use of business band radios on construction sites, and other scenarios requiring coordination of several parties. Citizens Band is another example of classic push-to-talk operation.
The PTT switch is most commonly located on the radio's handheld microphone, or for small hand-held radios, directly on the radio. For heavy radio users, a PTT foot switch may be used, and combined with either a boom-mounted microphone or a headset with integrated microphone.
Less commonly, a separate hand-held PTT switch may be used. This type of switch was historically called a pressel.[1][2]
In situations where a user may be too busy to handle a talk switch, voice operated switches are sometimes employed. Some systems use PTT ID to identify the speaker.
Mobile phones[edit]
Push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) is a service option for a cellular phone network that enables subscribers to use their phones as walkie-talkies with unlimited range. A typical push-to-talk connection connects almost instantly. A significant advantage of PTT is the ability for a single person to reach an active talk group with a single button press; users need not make several telephone calls to coordinate with a group.
Push-to-talk cellular calls similarly provide half-duplex communications — while one person transmits, the other(s) receive. This combines the operational advantages of PTT with the interference resistance and other virtues of mobile phones.
Current use in mobile telephony[edit]
Mobile push-to-talk services, offered directly some mobile carriers as well as independent companies, adds PTT functionality to smartphones and specialized mobile handsets. In addition to mobile handsets, some services also work on a laptop, desktop, and tablet computers.
Smartphone/computer apps[edit]
Recent development in PTT communications is the appearance of apps on smartphones, some of which can function on multiple platforms. Wireless carrier-grade PTT systems have adapted to and adopted the smartphone platform by providing downloadable apps that support their PTT systems across many mobile platforms. Over-the-top (OTT) applications are not dependent on a specific carrier and nearly as fast as carrier implementations. Talk-IP, Twisted Pair, Wave, Zello, Talko, Orion Labs, and Voxer may offer similar services to carriers.[3][4][5]
