The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade strongly recommends that you obtain comprehensive travel insurance which will cover all overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before travelling to Lithuania. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for the activities you want to undertake.
Irish Citizens should note that the Irish Government does not provide funds for emergency medical repatriation or for repatriation of remains.
You should also obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) free of charge, which entitles you to emergency medical treatment. This card is NOT a substitute for travel insurance. See www.ehic.ie for further details. The EHIC replaces the Form E111, which is no longer valid.
Irish citizens do not require a visa to enter Lithuania. Entry requirements may change from time to time and should be checked with the nearest Lithuanian Embassy.
It is advisable to take a number of photocopies of your passport with you. During your stay you should carry a photocopy of your passport at all times.
Most visits to Lithuania are free of trouble. However, as with travelling to any country, we advise people to use their common sense and be very careful of their passports, cash, ATM and credit cards.
If you plan to drive in Lithuania, you should note that roads and driving may be of a poor standard. Motorists drive on the right-hand side of the road. Road traffic accidents are common. Extra care must be taken at all times, when driving, particularly when driving at night.
Safety and Security
Most visits to Lithuania are free of trouble. However, as with travelling to any country, we advise people to use common sense and be very careful of their passports, cash, ATM and credit cards. It is recommended that you leave your passport in a safe place in your accommodation and bring a photocopy of it when you go out. We would also advise that you bring another form of identification with you to Lithuania, such as a driving licence. The loss or theft of a passport must be reported to the police, as a statement of loss is required for the issuance of a new passport or emergency travel document.
There is a risk of mugging, pickpocketing and bag snatching, particularly on public transport. Avoid poorly-lit streets, parks, and secluded areas after dark. There has been a recent increase in pickpocketing in bars and restaurants.
Be wary of accepting food and drink from strangers in bars, nightclubs and restaurants. Some visitors have been drugged and subsequently robbed. There have also been reports of foreign tourists being charged extortionate prices for drinks or having fraudulent transactions debited against credit/debit cards in bars and nightclubs. It is advisable to check the price of drinks before ordering and whether there is a "cover" charge made for entry. You should be vigilant when using your credit/debit card.
Car theft, particularly of/from new or expensive cars, is rife. Lock unattended vehicles: conceal all contents (and radios, if possible). Major cities have guarded car parks: use them if at all possible, especially overnight.
If you plan to drive in Lithuania, you should note that roads and driving may be of poor standard. Motorists drive on the right-hand side of the road. Road traffic accidents are common. Extra care must be taken at all times when driving, particularly when driving at night. See also "Local Laws and Customs".
Along with other European countries, there is potential for Lithuania to experience international terrorism.
Local Laws and Customs
Please note that while in Lithuania, Irish citizens are subject to Lithuanian law, which may differ in some areas to Irish law. In particular, public drunkenness (i.e. in the streets, on public transport etc.) will be dealt with very severely by the Lithuanian authorities, who have the right to detain people in detoxification centres if they believe them to be very drunk.
You should not become involved with drugs. Possession of even very small quantities of drugs can lead to imprisonment and/or heavy fines.
If driving in/to Lithuania in winter, equip your car for severe conditions. Winter tyres are a legal requirement in Lithuania between 10 November and 1 April. Dipped headlights are also compulsory all year round. Seat belts must be used in both front and back seats. The use of a mobile phone while driving (unless it is "hands-free") is banned. The speed limits, unless otherwise indicated, are 50km/h in towns, 90km/h on country roads and 110km/h on highways. (130km/h on highways from 1 April to 1 November).
Should you be moving to Lithuania on a long-term basis, please note that right-hand drive vehicles cannot be registered in Lithuania.
Do not drink and drive. The legal blood-alcohol limit for drivers is 0.4 gr/1000cm. There is zero tolerance for drink driving and those found over the limit face a fine and possible imprisonment.
Border officials and police require original car documents and those driving into the country need car insurance valid for Lithuania.
When travelling by car, border officials will ask for the following documents:
· A passport with a validity of at least 6 months;
· Original car registration documents (copies are not acceptable);
· International vehicle insurance (Green Card).
If it is your intention to reside in Lithuania for longer than three months, please be advised that the Lithuanian authorities will require that any child travelling and residing with you will need to have his or her own passport, and you may experience difficulties upon your arrival or departure in the case of children who are listed on the passport of one of their parents.
Natural Disasters and Climate
The climate of Lithuania varies from a maritime climate in coastal areas, to a more continental-type climate inland. Winters are very cold by Irish standards, with summers generally warm and humid.
The warmest month of the year is July, with an average temperature of about 20°C. January is usually the coldest month, with an average temperature of about -3°C. Temperatures of over 35°C in summer and up to -30°C in winter have been recorded in recent years.
Regular, at times heavy, snowfall is typical during the winter season, with rainfall frequent between April and October.
Warm, humid weather gives rise to frequent storms throughout the year, some of which cause damage to buildings, trees etc. Visitors should exercise caution during stormy weather, avoiding unnecessary travel.
With over 30% of Lithuania covered in forestry, forest fires frequently break out in periods of dry weather. Visitors are advised to avoid areas which may have fire warnings in place.
Floods, including urban flash floods, are common in Lithuania, following heavy rain and the Spring thaw. Property is frequently damaged but loss of life is rare.
Additional Country Info
Emergency Services (multilingual) Tel: 112.
Outside tourist areas in the major cities, English is little spoken.
Tick-borne encephalitis and Lyme disease are common in Lithuania, especially in forested areas during the summer months. You should seek medical advice regarding inoculations against rabies and tick-borne encephalitis if you intend to visit forested areas.
Please note that not all Irish pre-paid mobile phones operate fully in Lithuania. You are advised to check with your mobile operator as to whether you will have full service when in Lithuania.
Irish Diplomatic and Consular Relations with Lithuania are handled by the Embassy of Ireland in Vilnius, Lithuania. We strongly advise all Irish citizens residing in or traveling to Lithuania to register their details with the Department of Foreign Affairs.
Irish citizens requiring emergency assistance in Lithuania should make contact with the Irish Embassy in Vilnius on +370 5262 9460 or +370 65515235 (out of hours emergency assistance). Citizens can also contact the Consular Assistance Unit at the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin on +353 1 408 2000 (24/7).

Syllabification: ab·so·lute val·uenoun
- 1 Mathematics The magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign. Also called modulus.
- The absolute value of a complex number a + ib is the positive square root of a2+ b2
More example sentences- Ignoring minus signs, thereby taking the absolute value, gives a two-part curve.
- In general, we say that the second component winds monotonically about the first, unknotted, component if the number of maximum points on the diagram equals the absolute value of the linking number.
- In other words, you can safely bet your life on the fact that for your sequence, the bigger N is, the closer the absolute value of the Nth number gets to the Nth power of 1.13198824…
- 2 • technical The actual magnitude of a numerical value or measurement, irrespective of its relation to other values.More example sentences
- To obtain relative values absolute values were divided by germination percentages obtained in water, and the result was multiplied by 100.

The City Council overrode Mayor Michael Bloomberg's vetoes of the Community Safety Act Thursday afternoon.
The act includes two bills aimed at creating more oversight of the New York City Police Department.
One of them creates an independent inspector general for the NYPD, while the other will allow people to sue the NYPD over alleged bias-based profiling in state court.
It was unclear whether or not the bias-based profiling bill would pass, but it passed with 34 votes, which is the exact number needed to override a mayoral veto.
Several City Council members gave passionate speeches about the bills and the NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy on the Council floor.
Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly have vigorously opposed the bills.
Bloomberg has said that lives are put at risk because of the proposals.
The mayor's office responded to the override of the bills Thursday in a statement, saying, in part, "Today's vote is an example of election year politics at its very worst and political pandering at its most deadly."
The statement goes on to say, "It is a dangerous piece of legislation and we will ask the courts to step in before innocent people are harmed."
Kelly also issued a statement, saying, in part, that the Community Safety Act will "have an adverse impact not only on our police officers but more importantly on the people and the neighborhoods they serve, particularly in minority communities."
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who is running for mayor, only supports the creation of the inspector general, not the biased-based profiling bill, but she allowed both measures to come to the floor for a vote, an unprecedented move for the speaker.
"People who were not arrested, charged with no crimes, had no weapons on them, no contraband, that is a practice that is unconstitutional and must come to an end," said City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, a Democratic candidate for mayor.
The approval comes just days after the practice of stop-and-frisk was found unconstitutional by a federal judge.
Before the override, police unions and the mayor's office attempted to sway council members from voting for the bills.
On the council floor, the vote was still divided.
"We have to recognize that there is an issue there that we have to deal with, and we have to figure out how we agree on public safety," said City Councilman Jumaane Williams of Brooklyn.
"This tactic does save lives, and with 8,000 guns taken off the streets, and 2,000 murders 15 years ago and hundreds now, that is the real deal of what the story about removing this tactic is," said City Councilman Vincent Ignizio of Staten Island.
The profiling measure will take effect in 90 days, but the inspector general does not take effect until January, meaning it will be up to the next administration to implement the new oversight.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime specs leaked, Verizon exclusive?
Full specifications for Google's "Nexus Prime" smartphone have leaked onto the web in advance of an expected unveiling next Tuesday at Samsung's Unpacked event in San Diego.
Possibly called the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the phone is packing some seriously good features under the hood. The long-awaited Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system will debut on the 9mm thin device. Additional features include a 4.65-inch curved glass Super AMOLED HD display running at 1280x720 resolution, a TI OMAP 4460 dual-core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of on-board storage, a 5MP rear camera and a front 1.3MP shooter, 1080p video capture, LTE / HSPA support depending on carrier, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, NFC technology and a 1,750 mAh battery.
BGR has also confirmed that the OS will be a pure Google device, meaning no fancy third-party UI or other modifications to ICS. Furthermore, they believe that the Galaxy Nexus will be a Verizon Wireless exclusive.
An unveiling couldn't come at a better time in light of Apple's lackluster iPhone 4S announcement a couple of days ago. Many consumers and even AT&T employees were anticipating a revolutionary iPhone 5 device, not the evolutionary handset that Cupertino unveiled instead.
When compared with the Galaxy Nexus specs, the 4S already looks a bit dated, at least in terms of sheer processing power and display. But if the Nexus is only launching on one US carrier, this could potentially hurt overall sales.
User Comments: 16
Got something to say? Post a comment-
You would think people would learn not to trust leaks after the iPhone 4s.
I want this with WP7
I'm really waiting for the moment when I could compare, all in front of the others, the iPhone 4S, the Samsung Galaxy S 2, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime and the top of line next Nokia with WP Mango. Amazing!!!
Whats the purpose of the curved display???
IAMTHESTIG said:
Whats the purpose of the curved display???
So they don't get sued by Apple?
Those specs have come into question already. In fact, the specs are rumored to be better than posted in this article.
For more info: http://www.gsmarena.com/source_close_to_google_reveals_real_
exus_prime_specs-news-3239.php -
Is your head a straight line?
Whats the purpose of the curved display???
Just more natural to use. Nexus S has a curved screen but not as pronounced as that picture, assuming it is a real picture.
Why the drop in Camera specs? 8MP has been the standard? I know its not really necessary for that many mp's but what about other camera features I wonder???
Yea, Something big alright. 4.6" screen?! Even with the curved screen that's still enormous! I already have one of these. It's called a TV.
The curved screen is to help with light glare so you can see the screen better.
Cut down glare, it has been on the Nexus s for some time now and does work well.
Larger Photosites means lower signal noise and a cleaner Over all image.
Apple put less processing power in their 4s on purpose. 512 mb is more than enough to run IOS and it doesn't kill your battery. Android OS isn't anywhere close to as efficient in that needs that 1gb to function and, combined with that big of a screen, your battery life is going to be terrible. Also, if you ever plan to deviate outside of Facebook uploads for the pictures you take on your phone, 8mp is absolutely necessary.
Ram uses very little power compared to the other components. No excuse can make up for Apple's hardware complacency. Such an unfriendly company to consumers, yet they clamor for more.

No tee signs or cement pads. The course isn't groomed all that well and is very simple in design. It's the closest to my house so I use it as a driving range mostly on the first hole. Not really worth playing unless you like to get torn up by thorns.

Votes locked. Update pending.
Oh. Well, it looks like he'll be lynched anyway. ._.

I think it's really too much of a risk to take to keep him alive. ^^; Probability...
Not that there's much sense in debating it now. X3;
Mammal Fish = Buoy
Yeah I need to be the last one standing to win. Was planning on helping my Bulbawaifu<3 but whatever.
Does this mean FA gets destiny vote powers?
My aim is the have fun though. But whatever. I'm at an IT class right now doing an exam. CBA right now so I'm gonna die.
Doesn't matter anymore, he'll be lynched and it didn't especially get us anywhere since we can't really say anything against those who voted Human.
new encounters come after each farewell
Confusion struck the building "What do we have to do?", "The internet is working, what's the big deal?", said the employees.
Meanwhile, in an undisclosed location!
The team set off that day with heavy hearts, frantically searching storage cupboards, under desks, in drawers. Where could it have gotten too and who could have taken it? "Maybe it was the cleaning lady" the majority seem to think, after all it hardly looks like such an important piece of equipment, in fact, it's just a black box with a red flashing light on the top, maybe she put it away somewhere neatly, maybe she threw it in the garbage? They couldn't allow themselves to believe that. It needed to be found, one way or another.
"Who is that man?"
"I've never seen him before, I don't think he works here"
"He looks suspicious, what is he doing? He's looking at Moss as if
he's a piece of meat"
"I don't trust him, something is off about him. For a start off, he appears to have NO idea what's happening"
"Some of the others have complained about him too"
"I've heard enough! Listen up guys, there is an imposter in the building, seize him and remove him from the grounds!"

Well, that's not a disturbing character at all. :D
No, but, uh...really? ._. Why would he put an ad in the paper asking for something like that?
Me. Since I thought he could come in handy, but eh. I guess this works as well.

Managing technology's ripple effect
By Steve Ludwig
Like a stone thrown into a pond, changes made to a single machine or production line ripple through all applications connected to it. But when operations rely on a different control platform for each application, including process, motion, drives, sequential, safety, and batch, the ripple effect often sends small waves of data throughout a manufacturing enterprise that are difficult to understand or use properly. Operations with multiple disciplines want to migrate toward a common control platform to improve information flow between applications.
To best match an application's need, from tracking raw ingredients to rapidly packaging the end product, each control environment has historically relied on a different control platform.
The added cost of this silo approach can be steep, but more unforgiving is the lost opportunity to achieve a truly integrated enterprise. Integration is critical as it enables the ultimate goal: Sharing information for real-time decision making.
Up and over
There are two levels of enterprise integration, horizontal and vertical. Horizontal integration involves tying the floor of a manufacturing plant (as well as the business side of the enterprise) together through automation. Vertical integration refers strictly to the flow of information from the simplest sensor on the plant floor to the company's management systems. This occurs via the seamless connectivity of industrial and commercial networks, as well as manufacturing execution system solutions that turn plant floor data into actionable information. The main goal of vertical integration is to increase productivity and customer service by reducing "friction" and gathering information in real time.
Unfortunately, friction and fractured, disjointed business decisions are common. At the heart of this problem is the disparate technology used throughout the manufacturing environment.
In some facilities, operators must view multiple screens from multiple sources and manually tie the information together. Production and supply chain changes are also difficult to accommodate. Should a packaging machine break down and maintenance needs to get a call, the process side may continue to run at full speed, creating an overflow of product.
The drive for maximum productivity and quality at minimum costs is a huge challenge for today's manufacturers. As a result, effective coordination in the factory coupled with better information sharing will become a key requirement for survival.
To meet this requirement, plant managers are seeing the need to migrate away from proprietary control systems. These architectures are expensive to create and difficult to maintain. In most cases, if you need to make a change, a facility must rely on the knowledge base of a single engineer, team, or outside vendor. As a result, DCS systems can not help manufacturers in multi-discipline environments.
Alternate control platforms each have deficiencies of their own that make them unsuitable candidates for enterprise-wide adoption. Meanwhile, the need for a common platform across the enterprise persists. Enter Program-mable Automation Controllers (PACs).
These controllers (January's InTech feature "Welcome PAC"), offer a new type of control. They are essentially PLCs, but with DCS and PC capabilities, including a more modern memory model, stronger data handling capabilities, and key advancements for process control. PACs address a full range of automation application needs, as well as information integration with the rest of the plant.
Back PAC
There are specific requirements that a PAC must meet to fill this role. First, the control platform must support multi-discipline capabilities, including process, sequential, motion, safety, drives, and information platforms. It also must be able to support all languages in a common programming environment. The platform needs to provide connectivity to existing hardware to minimize switching costs and provide network connectivity for vertical integration.
With a common control platform, you can unify an enterprise with a single, integrated architecture. Sharing actionable information, in a format that best suits the purpose.
A common, open platform in a multi-discipline environment reduces engineering and implementation time, response times, maintenance costs, and downtime.

Federal Slackers Face a Whacking!
Monday - 6/6/2011, 4:00am EDT
- Politicians who want to increase tax revenue while refusing to consider tax increases are talking about cutting the staff and budget of the Internal Revenue Service, which is Uncle Sam's top money-maker.
- Politicians who have increased their own personal security, on Capitol Hill and for senior administration officials, are talking about cutting back the number of airport screeners and support personnel as the peak summer travel season begins.
- In what was intended as a major body blow to clock-watching, goof off bureaucrats, the House last month passed the Defense Authorization Act with surprise language that would deny annual pay raises to poor performing feds. There is a similar proposal to withhold the within-grade longevity step increases (worth 3 percent) to certified losers. The thinking is that it would save a bajillion dollars a year. So why are the majority of feds not quaking in their boots?
A couple of problems with the plan!
First, the White House and Congress have already frozen white collar federal pay for two years. And are talking about extending the freeze another year (at minimum) or for another three years. Denying people something they don't get anyhow seems, somehow, a less than effective tool. Are they saying that "if you ever become eligible for another pay raise you might not get it!"? Harsh!
Another is making it work and getting some bang for the denied bucks.
Most people, in or out of government, would agree that there is nothing wrong with not giving raises to people who can't or won't do their jobs. Surveys of large numbers of federal workers (who rank 14 percent of their coworkers as non-starters) indicate most employees would love to see slackers and losers actually lose.
One problem with both concepts, assuming employees could be convinced the procedures were fair, is how few people it would hit, and how little it would save.
Office of Personnel Management data obtained by the Federal Times showed that in the most recent period measured (2009) only 737 feds, out of a pool of 1.2 million nonpostal employees were denied in-grade (WIG) raises because of poor performance. That, the paper said, works out to one of every 1,689 employees. A denial rate of 0.06 percent . Maybe the same odds as being struck by lightning on a Florida golf course.
OPM Director John Berry, a veteran of Capitol Hill and the Executive Branch, has repeatedly said federal managers should step up to the plate and do a better job of taking action against poor performers. Managers respond that when they go after a poor performer they often fail to get support from topside, or find themselves in trouble.
Under the late National Security Personnel System, which at one time covered about 220,000 Defense civilians, pay-for-performance was the mantra. Supervisors were encouraged to encourage marginal employees to get with the program or remain in their current tax bracket forever. Even with this emphasis on performance, the rejection rate - the percentage of employees who didn't get raises - was only 0.2 percent.

Five years ago, I wrote a lot about personalization. Let's return to the topic to look at personalization technologies. The landscape has changed so much in the last few years that finding technology companies that just make products centered around these technologies is often difficult. Many have been bought by large CMS (define) or other platform companies. (If you're a personalization technology vendor, contact me, as I'm compiling a list for a future column.)
Personalization Technologies: An Overview
While most people know what collaborative filtering is, many don't realize it's only one of many technologies used for personalization. Depending on the problem, many technologies (most from the artificial intelligence world) exist to solve those problems. Finding vendors that aren't just academic groups for some of these technologies is difficult, however.
Here's a brief rundown of the most common technologies, what they're normally used for, and the pros and cons associated with them. Note: some companies have found workarounds for the cons I list. I list the cons here that are traditionally associated with the raw algorithms, understanding that products built around these algorithms do their best to mitigate these cons.
Neural Networks
Collaborative Filtering
Expert Systems
Bayesian Networks
Rules-based Engines
Vendors and Other Technologies
Are you using other technologies to enable personalization? Are you a personalization vendor specializing in one of the above technologies or a different one? If so, contact me. If there's sufficient interest in this topic, I'll write individual columns about each technology, along with the appropriate vendors.
Until next time...

Sateen Queen Flat Sheet
$ 128.00
Sateen Queen Flat Sheet
$ 128.00
Rated 3 out of 5 by 1
Rated 3 out of 5 by mercie66 Brooks Brothers Sheets
I recently purchased a sateen set of sheets...fitted, flat and matching pillowcases. The shipping was very prompt. But I have to say that I am disappointed that the "feel" is not more luxurious. I like quality sheets and these do not feel as smooth and luxurious as others I have purchased.
I am such a devotee of Brooks Brothers men's shirts that I thought the sheets would be as great. The website does not state the thread count in these sheets. So, I e-mailed them and asked...but never received a response. I ordered the sheets anyway. I have only myself to blame.

Reference | EN 61788-19:2014 |
Title | Superconductivity - Part 19: Mechanical properties measurement - Room temperature tensile test of reacted Nb3Sn composite superconductors |
Project Number | 24410 |
Abstract/Scope | IEC 61788-19:2013 covers a test method detailing the tensile test procedures to be carried out on reacted Cu/Nb3Sn composite superconducting wires at room temperature. The object of this test is to measure the modulus of elasticity and to determine the proof strength of the composite due to yielding of the copper and the copper tin components from the stress versus strain curve. Furthermore, the elastic limit, the tensile strength, and the elongation after fracture can be determined by means of the present method, but they are treated as optional quantities because the measured quantities of the elastic limit and the elongation after fracture have been reported to be subject to significant uncertainties according to the international round robin test. The sample covered by this test procedure should have a bare round or rectangular cross-section with an area between 0,15 mm2 and 2,0 mm2 and a copper to non-copper volume ratio of 0,2 to 1,5 and should have no insulation. Key words: supraconductivity, mechanical properties |

So many people I talk to seem to be so angry about the idea that anybody should get something without working for it. Most of the time they're referring to government handouts, like welfare. And most seem adamant that everyone should pay their "fair share" of taxes, even if they don't make much money.
This is the good, old-fashioned worth ethic, the stoic Judeo-Christian doctrine epitomized in the phrase from the Old Testament, "by the sweat of your brow, you shall earn your keep." Many regard this as the way things are, as expressed in the phrase, "there is no such thing as a free lunch." In reality, it doesn't seem to apply to everyone, and not just to the people on welfare.
When I was in high school, back in the early '60s, I worked in a machine shop after school, where many good people from West Virginia were employed. They worked 12 to 16 hours a day for probably $2 per hour. (My salary was $1.05 an hour.) This was tedious, dirty work, and we earned every penny.
My uncle, on the other hand, was an insurance broker. He drove a big red Buick convertible, wore a straw hat, and belonged to the country club, where he played golf at noon after making a few deals in his office in the morning. I couldn't help feeling that something was wrong with this picture.
But when we pay close to $5 a gallon for gas, I hear the ships are backed up in the harbors waiting to unload, and no new oil refineries have been built for years, I start feeling that some sort of price controlling is going on here. Aren't those windfall profits handouts of a sort? And when I hear what salaries and bonuses some of these corporate CEOs make, I can't help being skeptical about the sweat on their brows. It just doesn't seem like they earn every penny. Does no one apply the work ethic to the opulent?
What is one's "fair share" of taxes, anyway? It used to be the more you made the more you paid. That applied to my uncle, too, and he still seemed pretty wealthy. What with the bigger and bigger disparity of wealth we have today, it doesn't seem too out of line to me that the wealthy should cough up a few more tax dollars, even if it does seem like a few more freebies for the poor.

Semi Precious Weapons is the creation of Chicago born gay/ambisexual singer/songwriter Justin Tranter, a charismatic frontperson with a long history of outrageous performances. Tranter fell under the spell of Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid when he was a boy, and after seeing Courtney Love and Hole perform, his course was firmly set. He wanted to be a rock star. Realizing he wanted to write songs, as well as sing them, he begged his parents to get him a piano and taught himself to play. He went to a music and arts high school where he studied classical and pop piano, before moving on to the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Being a practical man, he studied the business side of the music business, as well as songwriting when he was at Berklee. While getting his degree he founded Musicians With a Mission, a scholarship fund for GLBT youth education. He also put out his first solo album, Scratched, a piano based album that turned the conventions of pop songwriting inside out with its dramatic flair. After graduation he moved to New York and put together his first band. They were going to be the house band for an off Broadway play called Rockstars NYC, but the show only ran for three weeks. Still, Tranter's over the top performances started a buzz. His second album, Tear Me Together was meant to push emotional buttons with depictions of the extremes of love and hate, life and death. The album cover art featured Tranter's "dead" body being dragged out of a bathroom and people either loved it or hated it. But Tranter knew the value of a good visual, and the record's notoriety help increase his underground profile. Tranter finally decided he wanted a full-tilt rock band. Bassist Cole Whittle, his college roommate knew drummer Dan Crean,and the producer of Tear Me Together introduced them to guitarist Aaron Lee Tasjan. The minute they played together something clicked and they all had the same ideas about rock's power to outrage people. The band's sound borrows from glam, garage, punk, and new wave funk, but it's distilled into their own high-octane Molotov cocktail. After their first gigs in 2004 they landed a high profile manager, former Marc Bolan/T. Rex publicist B.P. Fallon. He brought Tony Visconti, legendary for his work with David Bowie, to a gig and he offered to help produce an album for the band. We Love You was originally released on their own label, Precious Records, and was produced by the band with the aid of Mario McNulty (T. Rex, Laurie Anderson) and Visconti. The album was financed by Tranter's booming jewelry business. (Urban Outfitters and Hot Topic have moved over 100,000 necklaces designed by Tranter featuring the band's guns and heart logo. He also designs high-end gold and diamond skulls for Barney's.) The first video, for "Magnetic Baby," showed Tranter making out with girls, which upset some of his longtime gay fans, proving his point that rock can still outrage people if it's done right. We Love You brought offers from many major labels, but the band ignored them in favor of Razor and Tie, who will allow them to continue to chart their own decadent path. The album was released nationally in September of 2008. In 2010, Semi Precious Weapons won a coveted opening slot on pop-diva Lady Gaga's Monster Ball tour. Interestingly, Gaga had opened for the band in New York City before her career took off. Also that year, Semi Precious Weapons released its sophomore album and major label debut for Geffen, You Love You. ~ j. poet

(KPTV/CNN) – A start-up company in the Portland, OR area has developed a new technology to treat gunshot wounds.
The product is called XStat and it's an applicator filled with dozens of tiny sponges.
Device creator RevMedx says it's injected into the open would of a shooting victim, for example.
The company says the little sponges stop the bleeding in less than 15 seconds.
Vice President John Steinbaugh says RevMedx primarily develops products for military medics and emergency services providers.
"After multiple rotations in Iraq and Afghanistan, it was always the same complaint from the guys, we need better products that control hemorrhaging," Steinbaugh said.
If approved, the sponges would replace gauze.
The company says it expects the FDA to approve the new product sometime in the next few months.

The Pros Say
This camera system would be considered a digital SLR. Its major features include a DX sensor at a size of 23.6x15.8 mm, ISO range of 100-6,400 and shoots video at 720p and 24 fps.
The Test Diver Says
Breaking it down into its systems, the Nikon D-90 DSLR camera is a great all-around camera that combines some of Nikon's higher-end features with a nicer sticker price. The menu is full of features and arranged by using icons to identify the major function categories, making it easy to know where you are without having to reference the manual. However, because the camera is full of really cool features, there is no substitute for the manual to get the most out of the camera.
Because there are a lot of features, controls and adjustments, it will take some time to learn all of the relevant ones for underwater photography. Knowing where the controls are in relation to the housing buttons and being able to change the settings on the fly for changing conditions might be too much for the casual user. As far as DSLR cameras go for the underwater-photography aficionado who is passionate about manual settings, this one will easily fit the bill for anyone interested at that price point.
The Ikelite housing is a lightweight polycarbonate housing utilizing through-the-housing manual controls and a removable camera tray. The housing also has two handles with push-button releases for strobe attachments. Having owned an Ikelite housing some years ago, I can say that one of the great pros about Ikelite housings is affordability. Even though there are some that don't like "through the housing" manual controls, Ikelite's "Quad O-Ring" system boasts an impressive reliability record. I have never had a problem with mine, and I suspect that with proper care and maintenance, this housing will provide many years of service.
Attaching the camera to the tray and installing it in the housing was easy. I didn't have a manual-focus ring attached to this rig, and because the lens was a fixed focal length, there wasn't a zoom ring either. Even in high-end systems these can be a little tricky to attach and install, but it wasn't a factor here. The camera balanced well underwater even with one strobe, and the handles were spaced far enough away from the housing to easily hold even with 5 mm gloves.
The push-button controls worked well, but combining them with the wheel controls because they were on opposite sides of the housing to change things like the ISO, the shutter and aperture was harder than expected. There wasn't enough friction on the camera controls to get them to turn without pushing hard on the housing controls — there might be a tweak that I'm unaware of for this model.
All manufacturers have different shapes and materials for the internal wheels, and different ways of getting them to grip the camera controls; in a game of submillimeters, too much friction could damage the camera controls, and too little will cause slippage, eventually wearing down the internal housing wheel and rendering it useless and in need of replacement. The lever controls worked fine, but like the rest, to combine them with others to change settings requires you to cradle the housing between your knees or use a third hand if you are so equipped.
Finally, the strobe arm attachments on top of the handles had more play in them than I would like. I'm not sure if that might promote premature wear and tear, but the feeling of them rocking back and forth underwater was a little unnerving until I figured out this was normal operation.
If price-point is the most important factor in choosing a housing for your DLSR, this is a good choice. The trade-off would be ease and convenience of the controls. If you are willing to work around some of these, then this housing will work for you.
The Ikelite DS161 Substrobe is a medium-to-large TTL strobe with a Modeling Light and Movie Light function. This is a powerful strobe with an impressive guide number of 38 underwater and easy to operate controls. It has a dual-use function of "constant on" for shooting video, which is a nice feature to have. It balanced well with the housing I reviewed, and the two-segment arm was easily adjustable. The battery was easy to remove.
Underwater I couldn't get the strobe to talk to the camera while both were in manual mode. With the camera in full auto and the strobe in TTL, it would function fine. It would also function fine topside, but as soon as it hit the water, they both shut up. After having the onboard photo pros examine the system, verifying that the camera menu, hot-shoe attachment and sync cord were all functioning properly, we could not resolve the problem in the time we had allotted. I'm confident the Ikelite design team tested the system before release, but without more troubleshooting on our part, I couldn't draw a conclusion. — Joe Drago

Martha Stewart Living
During the first two or three years of your baby's life, the crib is the only place where he or she is likely to spend time away from an adult's watchful gaze. Take special care to ensure that your baby's crib offers little opportunity for accidents or mischief.
When buying a new crib, safety is a primary concern. Look for plain, solid construction and the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal of approval. All cribs, especially hand-me-down or used cribs (which might not have the JPMA seal) should be examined thoroughly.
Related: Martha's Ultimate Organizing Solutions
What to Check For:
1) Tight joints that can't pinch and won't let the crib wobble when your baby is active.
2) A simple design. Elegant finials and posts pose choking hazards, since the baby's clothing can catch; charming cutouts on the headboard could trap little arms.
3) Most important, the slats must be no more than 2 3/8 inches apart (about the width of a soda can) to prevent a baby's head from fitting between them.
4) The crib you pick must be safe not just for a newborn but also for a baby who can move around and stand up. (When a child grows to more than 3 feet tall or is clearly able to climb out of the crib on his or her own, it's time to move him or her into a bed.)
Related: 25 Helpful Home Storage Essentials5) The top of the side rail should be at least 22 inches above the mattress to make it a challenge to climb out.
6) When placing the crib, avoid proximity to lamps, cords, window blinds, or furniture that invites climbing.
7) To ensure the baby's comfort, don't place the crib in direct sunlight or close to a heating or air vent.
Did You Know?
You should test the side rail of any crib you're considering to see that it can be easily raised and lowered with one hand -- you'll rarely have two hands free.

PHOTO EXCLUSIVE: "Under the Sea" at The Little Mermaid With Paper Mill Rising Star Morgan Kirner
By Matthew Blank
Paper Mill Playhouse offers a brand new production of Disney's The Little Mermaid running through June 30. Just one year after winning Paper Mill's Rising Star Award, Morgan Kirner is up on the mainstage as a member of the ensemble and understudy to the title character. "Hello there, Playbill," says Kirner. "My name is Morgan and I have the amazing opportunity to be working at the Paper Mill Playhouse this summer on The Little Mermaid! Since being a member of the conservatory in '09, it's been a dream of mine to work here." "Last year, I was blessed to be named a Rising Star, but I had no idea how much goes into the behind the scenes aspects of putting on a show at the Paper Mill. Check out these pictures for a glimpse of what my experience has been like this far ... and then come see the show. You won't be disappointed!"
The production, featuring a revamped script, additional songs, a new physical production and an entirely fresh interpretation of the piece, will also play at partner theatres Kansas City Starlight and Pittsburgh CLO. Directed by Glenn Casale with original choreography by John MacInnis, performances continue at Paper Mill through June 30. The cast is led by Nick Adams (Prince Eric), Jessica Grové (Ariel), Liz McCartney (Ursula), Alan Mingo, Jr. (Sebastian), Edward Watts (King Triton), Matt Allen (Scuttle), Sean Patrick Doyle (Jetsam), Scott Leiendecker (Flotsam), Christian Probst (Flounder), Timothy Shew (Chef Louis) and Ron Wisniski (Grimsby) with Kristine Bennett, Ward Billeisen, Lauryn Ciardullo, Thay Floyd, KC Fredericks, Rod Harrelson, Lisa Karlin, Nicole Javanna Johnson, Morgan Kirner, Erica Mansfield, Dennis O'Bannion, Robbie Roby, James Shackelford, Katie Ulrich and Jessica Wockenfuss. "In a magical kingdom beneath the sea," according to press notes, "the beautiful young mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. Based on the enchanting 1989 Disney animated film and one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories, The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages." The score features "Part of Your World," "Kiss the Girl" and the Academy Award-winning Best Original Song, "Under the Sea," composed by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken and his longtime collaborator, the late Howard Ashman, as well as new songs by Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater. The book for the musical is by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright Doug Wright. The creative team also includes music director Craig Barna, scenic designer Kenneth Foy, costume designers Amy Clark and Mark Koss, lighting designer Charlie Morrison, sound designer Randy Hansen, hair and wig designer Leah J. Loukas, flying sequence choreographer Paul Rubin and production stage manager Kim Vernace. Single tickets range from $26-$97. Tickets may be purchased by calling (973) 376-4343 or at papermill.org. |

I can find no support at the present for clubs and societies to preserve their histories. I asked Archives New Zealand who told me they only deal with government records. I asked the Auckland Museum who told me they have a few but don't seek them generally. So I'm at a bit of a loss.
It seems to be up to the present members of an organisation to try to preserve their history. Marist put a book out last year and its pretty good one. However, if you wanted a copy, I'm not sure where you might buy one. Marist is a fairly wealthy club. Books like these often seem to be published in short runs and if they are lucky, they run out of them.
I was talking to a man who belonged to an old Auckland yachting club a few years ago, he had all the old history of the club in his basement and wasn't eager to even look through it for me, he'd put it in the 'too hard' basket.
And then there is the cost which to many organisations who have falling membership, financing a publication would be beyond them even if they had a keen person to write it up.
It's a shame because growing up the 50's I belonged to an Athletics club which galvanised the whole neighbourhood, it was the place to be when the alternative entertainment were card nights at the neighbours. I'd love to see the records of these types of organisations preserved.
