Sounds like you need to spend more time with it at the range. Snub nose revolvers take more time to shoot well with than a conventional revolver. So give it time, and I think you will see an improvement.

Bought a 'new', unfired, nickel plated 2" Dick Special....I was going to sell it and then thought it would make a good gift for my daughter one day. Okay, so I thought it was really pretty and decided not to sell it. I'm still gonna' give it to my kid someday, honest. Well, I took it and shot it's first 12 rounds today....poor showing. Six inches at 7 yards. Is it because it's never been fired? Is the nickel plating INSIDE the barrel and screwing me up? I know that it's a belly gun, but ......20 more feet and I'm not sure I'd of been on paper. I'm going back with a bunch of different ammo in a couple of days. I'll try to find out what it likes...heavy or light. Any suggestions or similar experiences?

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

Normally the Colts are pretty accurate. Was this single action off a rest or double action freehand. Ammo definitely can make a difference. Try some different bullet weights and see what happens.
We will be much better off when we learn to deal with things as they really are, instead of how we wish them to be!
I've got the same gun. I love it but can never get good groups from it. I also don't spend a lot of time practicing with it.
Old style Nickel plating would not normally plate the inside of the barrel. Just FYI.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
Practice practice practice. There is a reason that they refer to snubbies as an experts gun.
+1 for TimM's comment.
I practice dry firing a lot. Make sure the gun is unloaded. Check it again, is it unloaded? Let me check again - is it unloaded? Now I pick a fixed spot on the wall, like a wall switch from about 3 feet way. Practice squeezing the trigger while watching the front site. See the movement of the front site? That is the most likely accuracy culprit in a snub nose. Learn to grip and squeeze the trigger so the front site does not move. When you can do that consistantly, add some speed to the trigger squeeze. With the snubbie, its all about grip and trigger control. Then practice with light loads - the accuracy will come.
You mean practice with the light loads at the range and not the light switch on the wall? :)
First of all nice purchase. What did you pay for it? I'm considering picking up one.
I use to have a small S&W Chiefs 38-special and in single action it grouped nicely at 10 feet, and to my surprise my Walther makes very nice groups at 25-feet.
My advice is don't target pink in double action. Let's face it, a belly gun is something ya pull and fire in less than 2 seconds from the hip, at very very close range.
Did you fire it from a brace.
I often have bad groups then brace a gun and find that it is me and not the gun.
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.

My 2" blued DS is quite accurate, provided I do my part. I'm not big on shooting paper targets, but I can roll a coke can around with it pretty efficiently out to 20 yards, or ring a 12" gong at 40. I've even used it on a revolving 5 pointed star, and managed to walk away with a round left in the cylinder. Ok, it was only once... and I was way slow... but I hit 'em :)
Put it on a bench rest. I doubt you'll find that the gun is inherently inaccurate.
Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. It's worth it.
Off hand with my 686, 2 1/2", I'm grouping 4" at 25 yards.. when I take my time. I'm hitting plates (6'') with it at twenty yards, shooting a bit faster.
I'm not Bill Hickcock, but I'm getting better the more I shoot.....
I was shooting the colt (paid $350 with the old brown cardboard box) single action. I oiled the it, 'cause it felt rough, by pulling the hammer back, removed the wood grips, turned it upside down and sprayed a lubricant into it. Then, Pachmayr grips. It was never fired and sat for a loooong time. I know it's not meant to be a tack driver, it's a belly gun....but....ya know?
Oh, yeah...just remembered...I did get a 10 ring with one round of a wadcutter. The other five wadcutters were 7's and 6's. I took my time, hammer back and POP.
The action is real rough (never fired?) compared to the Smith's I own....Model 10 and the 686. But it's real pretty....can a gun be pretty?

Gangs in America
In the U.S. today alone there are over 200,000 gangs. From street gangs to prison gangs and motorcycle gangs there are over 1,000,000 and counting gang members active in today's society. Some gangs are bigger than others and more sophisticated than others. They control neighborhoods and even whole towns, in which makes it very hard to live in or around. All gangs use violence to control these neighborhoods and most of the gangs sell drugs and transport them through these towns and cities. There crimes don't just stop at that though, gangs want money and lots of it, so they traffic guns, extort businesses and rob banks and stores.
These gangs are ruining our cities by causing fear in everyone around them; people can't walk down the street without looking over their shoulder. These gangs are mostly affecting our young community because of what these gangs are telling them and showing them. Kids see these gang members walking down the street together wearing gold chains and driving nice cars, so what the kids think is that if they join them they will have all that too, that's why more and more gangs are increasing in size so rapidly. They also recruit by sitting outside middle schools and as kids that are only 12 years old walk by they talk to them saying how they need to join the gangs because they will be protected and will have lots of money. These people don't care for human life and will do anything just for money and power.
Gangs can be started for many different reasons, like protection, born into them, and for some people they have nowhere else to go. Some people may argue that gangs aren't all about making money and doing drugs, but sometimes it's a place to hang out with buddies. My dad has friends that are in the hells angels' motorcycle club and I have met them and they aren't bad people, they may sometimes do bad things but in general they are nice people to hang around with. A lot of motorcycle gangs were formed after Vietnam when everyone came back. These guys had no were to go they just came back from war knowing nothing else because they had to drop everything they were doing and go off to war, so when they came back they made groups like the galloping goose and the Mongols to keep that brother ship they had over in Vietnam alive. Other gangs however, like the Bloods and Crips. They formed there gangs in the beginning for their own protection. In the 70's and 80's African Americans were beaten and killed for no reasons at all, so they joined together and help protect themselves from other gangs and police. Now they aren't in it just for the protection but they are in it for the money and power. The OG's (original gangster) are mad at these young kids. They say the point of the gangs aren't there anymore, they just want to kill and make money.
|Having lots of money
|Being killed from opposing gang members
|having luxurious items
|Getting bad reputation from community
|Becoming famous and powerful within your gang
|Being imprisoned for your whole life
|Protection in your gang
|Seeing your friends die everyday

Excellent product. The manufacturer really thought this one through and there is no a la carte, you get it all in this one package. Options you'd pay extra for e.g. bluetooth control capability, 8 switches vs fewer and extra cost, is also included at no extra charge. The instructions and images were also well executed for a Wrangler installation and made the install quick. I was pleasantly surprised to see the switch panel dimming options with headlights on (night time driving).

A Thousand Lives: The Untold Story of Hope, Deception, and Survival at Jonestown (Hardcover)
Staff Reviews
Perhaps the scariest book in the store, but also one of the most moving. Scheeres reexamines the infamous story of Jonestown, drawing from previously unreleased documents and focusing on four of the tragedy's survivors. What she delivers is an epic study about how what's best in human beings -- empathy, love, sharing, a desire to do good works -- can be twisted and deformed under the control of a malignant leader. Why do people join cults? Why do they become terrorists? How can they believe ridiculous doctrines? Read this book and you'll come closer to an understanding. And the story's supreme monster, the Reverend Jim Jones, may very well haunt your nightmares.— Stephen
October 2011 Indie Next List
"How could a racially progressive preacher in San Francisco lead more than 900 people to group suicide? How could dozens of parents ever come to poison their children? Even this riveting piece of journalism can't fully answer such grueling questions, but Scheeres does an excellent job humanizing this tragedy while poignantly showing the evolution from hope and belief to desperation."
— Pete Mulvihill, Green Apple Books, San Francisco, CA
"I love socialism, and I'm willing to die to bring it about, but if I did, I'd take a thousand with me." —Jim Jones, September 6, 1975
In 1954, a pastor named Jim Jones opened a church in Indianapolis called Peoples Temple Full Gospel Church. He was a charismatic preacher with idealistic beliefs, and he quickly filled his pews with an audience eager to hear his sermons on social justice. After Jones moved his church to Northern California in 1965, he became a major player in Northern California politics; he provided vital support in electing friendly political candidates to office, and they in turn offered him a protective shield that kept stories of abuse and fraud out of the papers. Even as Jones's behavior became erratic and his message more ominous, his followers found it increasingly difficult to pull away from the church. By the time Jones relocated the Peoples Temple a final time to a remote jungle in Guyana and the U.S. Government decided to investigate allegations of abuse and false imprisonment in Jonestown, it was too late.
A Thousand Lives follows the experiences of five Peoples Temple members who went to Jonestown: a middle-class English teacher from Colorado, an elderly African American woman raised in Jim Crow Alabama, a troubled young black man from Oakland, and a working-class father and his teenage son. These people joined Jones's church for vastly different reasons. Some, such as eighteen-year-old Stanley Clayton, appreciated Jones's message of racial equality and empowering the dispossessed. Others, like Hyacinth Thrash and her sister Zipporah, were dazzled by his claims of being a faith healer—Hyacinth believed Jones had healed a cancerous tumor in her breast. Edith Roller, a well-educated white progressive, joined Peoples Temple because she wanted to help the less fortunate. Tommy Bogue, a teen, hated Jones's church, but was forced to attend services—and move to Jonestown—because his parents were members.
A Thousand Lives is the story of Jonestown as it has never been told before. New York Times bestselling author Julia Scheeres drew from thousands of recently declassified FBI documents and audiotapes, as well as rare videos and interviews, to piece together an unprecedented and compelling history of the doomed camp, focusing on the people who lived there. Her own experiences at an oppressive reform school in the Dominican Republic, detailed in her unforgettable debut memoir Jesus Land, gave her unusual insight into this story.
The people who built Jonestown wanted to forge a better life for themselves and their children. They sought to create a truly egalitarian society. In South America, however, they found themselves trapped in Jonestown and cut off from the outside world as their leader goaded them toward committing "revolutionary suicide" and deprived them of food, sleep, and hope. Yet even as Jones resorted to lies and psychological warfare, Jonestown residents fought for their community, struggling to maintain their gardens, their school, their families, and their grip on reality.
Vividly written and impossible to forget, A Thousand Lives is a story of blind loyalty and daring escapes, of corrupted ideals and senseless, haunting loss.

Julia Scheeres is the author of New York Times bestselling memoir Jesus Land. She lives in Berkeley, California with her husband and two daughters and is a member of the San Francisco Writers' Grotto.

Ecotourism in Fiji: Preserving Our Islands Future
We begin your stay with an orientation tour—a journey by electric cart around our beautiful, exotic island home. Behind the main resort area is an orchid house, and an impressive lush five-acre garden where 90% of the resort's herbs, fruits, and vegetables are produced.
In the garden there are long, neat rows of carrots, spinach, corn, tomatoes, four types of lettuce, five types of bean, plus coriander, chives, mint, lemongrass, bananas, melons, papayas, limes, mangoes, and pineapples.
Turtle Island is a tropical paradise in every sense. Once denuded of its lush rainforest and vegetation, Richard Evanson and the rest of the Turtle Family have planted thousands of trees. The trail around the Island is marked by vibrant red hibiscus so guests can explore at their leisure without getting lost.
If you're interested, ask for a tour of the tropical birds or plants used in traditional Fijian medicine. (We think it's rather fascinating!)

It has been argued that big data will enable efficiencies and accountability in health care.1,2 However, to date, other industries have been far more successful at obtaining value from large-scale integration and analysis of heterogeneous data sources. What these industries have figured out is that big data becomes transformative when disparate data sets can be linked at the individual person level. In contrast, big biomedical data are scattered across institutions and intentionally isolated to protect patient privacy. Both technical and social challenges to linking these data must be addressed before big biomedical data can have their full influence on health care. It is this linkage challenge that we address in this Viewpoint.

Skip to comments.WikiLeaks: Interpol issues wanted notice for Julian Assange
Posted on 11/30/2010 2:56:48 PM PST by La Enchiladita
click here to read article
I doubt any of the unsavory shenanigans gleaned from the document dump represents significant news or intel to the involved nations.
Retaliation that affects innocent individuals and groups is my greatest concern.
The Russians don't extradite - they exterminate.
I would bet his days are numbered. No biggie.
Revel, you're a fine writer, with very well thought out conclusions, but you really ought to nail down the differences between "there", "they're", and "their".
/English teacher
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
Amazing, eight months after the first dump, he's wanted on an interpol warrant for sex crimes. Eric the Holder is in Europe, forgot where, pitching the good old USA for the 2022 World Cup. Nothing else going on, I guess. Certainly nothing criminal.
Here's my take and I don't think this is far-fetched.
Soros is involved with Wikileaks Assange.
Note that Wiki is calling for Hillary to resign...hmmm, eliminate her for 2012 election?
No negative stuff released on Obama.
Obama dictator for life?
I said "hi!" to him at a 7-11 just the other day!
Anyone want to start a pool on when they think this guy goes room temp? I'll start the festivities with a guess of April 3, 2011.
Good one, Ron.
Obviously, if a warrant by interpol has been issued.
Yes- one of my weakest points.
IF better prepare himself for eternity...
He better prepare himself for eternity...
Actually he is wanted for questioning. He has not even been charged. That also means that the EU warrant and Interpol warrant are not supportable.
Not defending him, but facts matter.
It's a setup. He is single, met a woman, had consensual sex with her. A few days later, met another woman, had consensual sex with her.
Woman #2 gets together with woman #1 and they decide that he didn't wait long enough between them - therefore he was operating under false pretenses with both of them, and therefore, the false pretenses equal rape.
Even better, the woman who started the whole thing, woman #2, is a known intelligence operative.
I find it hard to believe this little twerp raped 2 women. I think it is more likely that some intelligence service set up a "honey pot" - 2 women who approached him for a 3-way, and then afterwards they filed rape charges against him.
Assange does not work alone.
He is just the public sphere clown sent out to be a jester on stage.
Wikileaks will continue with or without Assange.
The average schmucks in the world will briefly be forced to have the blinders removed from their eyes and see the second and third layer of world stage political power.
And just like that, they will recoil in horror that their worldviews shaped by generations of utter and total bullshit are complete fabrications derived to hold thehm in servitude from cradle to grave.
And they will get mad, real real mad, at the court jester who told them the Emperors have no clothes.
And the emperors will rejoice in using their jester as a foil to further fractionalize the world's population of schmucks into smaller and smaller subclassifications of worker bees.
Let me ask you hondact200, how many hours have you spent today reading the original source material cables before attacking trapped_in_LA ?
You know what my people were asking today... why the fuck after we lost high school friends on 9/11 did our friends go to Iraq and Afghanistan and get injured and another high school buddy died there in a goatherder's holding pen... for what?
Most people you have to understand are sheeple. They cannot weigh the good and the bad when it is being pounded in there ear that it is all bad. It was decided here by most to consider only the bad and to take this guy out without prejudice. Only those people cant see they are empowering the all powerful big brother in the process. They are taking out there only chance to see through the veil of propaganda and protect there own freedom. And that is the power of sheepelism. One goes Bahhhh, and all the rest follow without thought.
Unfortunately, I agree. Everyone is just jumping on the bandwagon without thinking. It will be harder to deny the Iranian nuclear threat now for example. We are again reminded about our "friend" Saudi Arabia also.
Make no mistake, there will be a knee jerk reaction. We are already seeing it. Government will use this "leak" of relatively low level material to try and gain more power over the internet.
Assange might want ask those pirates the Russians let go...how they were treated.
He's wanted for a sex offense?
Don't megalomaniacs, by definition, want to rule the world?
How then can he be a megalomaniac?
I think he's a plant
Sort of like a family member coming to Thanksgiving Dinner and opening his mouth at the table and telling all gossip from family members about other family members. It causes ciaos in a family. Well in this situation it can cause ciaos in the world... very very dangerous.
Yeah, but what do you get in Europe for sex crimes. Probably 3-6 months for rape.
BS.. he is a known gay.
>>I dont understand why most people here hate this guy. Hes exposing the governments unsavory deeds and thus helping to shrink the government which is what most conservatives want, right?
>You're being sarcastic, right? Either that, or you're a RonPaulbutt. If you don't like the U.S. of A., buddy, get out.
WTF? Why are you being so harsh & unsavory La Enchiladita?
The question of whether or not I like the "U.S. of A." can be answered by the answer to this question:
—Is the US about Truth and Justice?
Can you with any integrity say that the Government actively strives to ensure any 5 of the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights is upheld? Any 4? Any 3? How about two?
Amendment I.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right
of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the
Government for a redress of grievances.
Hate speech crimes?
Politically unsavory news access [FOX news or "alternative media"] to the press?
Amendment II.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of
a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed.
Knife laws?
TSA flight restrictions?
Courthouse restrictions?
Federal building restrictions?
Military base restrictions?
Because-we-can restrictions?
Amendment III.
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any
house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of
war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
Actually I can't think of an instance of this amendment being violated...
but it may when we get that nifty Civilian Security Force!!
Amendment IV.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses,
papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and
seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue,
but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation,
and particularly describing the place to be searched,
and the persons or things to be seized.
So, "probable cause" that a warrant may issue by is the same thing as a warrant? [Listen to any police officer mention probable cause.]
No-Knock warrants are reasonable?
SWAT raids are reasonable?
Border patrol checkpoints, 100 mi in, are reasonable?
Amendment V.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise
infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of
a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval
forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of
War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for
the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb;
nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness
against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law; nor shall private property be
taken for public use, without just compensation.
I'm really glad that this amendment prevented bailout recipient CEOs to not answer for an infamous crime because they weren't presented by a grand jury... oh, wait, Congress can just make people answer for whatever they want!
I'm so glad this amendment makes it impossible for the government to take my land and give it to some other private entity... oh, wait, there's Keelo v. New England. Never mind.
Amendment VI.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the
right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of
the State and district wherein the crime shall have been
committed, which district shall have been previously
ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and
cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses
against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses
in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel

Speedy trial! Now that's a good joke!
I'm sure glad that in criminal trials I have the right "to be confronted with the witnesses against him"... oh, wait, I forgot about red-light cameras*.
*If you're saying that such are CIVIL cases, then why does "Law Enforcement" give you a Citation?
Amendment VII.
In suits at common law, where the value in controversy
shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be

Man! I sure am glad that the GM stock holders-could have a jury-trial regarding the breach-of-contract... oh, wait...
Amendment VIII.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines
imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Televised. Obama. Speeches. ;)
But man, I sure am glad this amendment exists and I can't be thrown in jail for transporting personal weapons and ammo through another state... Oh, right, that NJ guy & his 7yr sentence.
Traffic fines.
Traffic fines in a 'construction zone'.
Traffic fines in a 'construction zone' that lies within a 'school zone.'
Being interested in the second amendment.
Amendment IX.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights,

I sure am glad that the government wouldn't ever think about regulating gardens... oh, wait.
Amendment X.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to
the States respectively, or to the people.
Oh, you mean like DETERMINING IF YOUR STATE WILL ACKNOWLEDGE SAME-SEX 'UNIONS'? Man, I sure am glad a federal judge can't step into that!
Oh, what about a state determining that NONE OF ITS JUDGES MAY USE SHARIA? Surely that's reserved to the state or people?
That made me chuckle...
Will the Ruskies hire the Wicked Witch of the West to sky-write your suggestion overhead Assange's safehouse?
Oh, I think every would-be anarchist leaker will get the Ruskie's message loud and clear without that.
Would be a nice touch though.
He should be so lucky as to get the same treatment. I think his experience with the Russians will end a bit more abruptly.
I think Obama is actually enjoying this. He is instinctively for anything that can paint a negative picture of America.
Will anybody be held responsible for not terminating the security clearence and net admin rights of an E-3 who was busted for assault?
could some of these "leaks" be coming from obama himself ? .... he certainly fits the profile of a "wikileaker"
We let him go. One mile above Siberia.
Former military people understand that 'what' is leaked has future implications, and the names of those who gave us information is in some of the documents. It puts those foreign sources lives in danger, and prevents others from giving our operatives further information....information that might stop a terrorist attack.
Lives are at stake, and conversations that might offend those the US has taken years to establish dipolomatic relations with ....are in those documents, that are leaked, and probably far worse documents are available; and the Pentagon is holding it's breath the wrong one isn't leaked that could start a war!
So far most of it was suspected or at least known, that is except for the insults. And the HOPES of getting more Intelligence is damaged for some time. Who will trust a country who can't protect it's secrets from world publication. A terrorist plan might be missed now, because of Wikileaks, and our sources will be afraid to talk to our operatives around the world.
There is a good reason for security clearances and 'a need to know' basis, that far left liberal democrats have been ignoring the past few decades, or more. Fools.
"I dont understand why most people here hate this guy. Hes exposing the governments unsavory deeds."
If he had been whistle-blowing on something truly unsavory (Hillary plotting to invade Estonia to seize their sugar mines, etc.) there wouldn´t be much hate.
As it is, he dumps hundreds of thousands of documents that should be secret (according to law) regardless of the "size of government", merely out of malice and misguided principle, in order to harm primarily the US.
I dunno. I am in Sweden right now, and the women involved are flaming feminists and lefties. I´d say it´s more of a case of the dangers of having sex in left wing circles (in this case with the women who invited him to lecture at Broderskapsrörelsen* - you never know when you end up in bed with a raving feminist.
Of course, I don´t know exactly what transpired (for obvious reasons), but I do suspect poor A getting a bad rap here.
*A Swedish formerly "christian socialist" (a contradiction in terms) organization, now more geared towards the promotion of Islam.
"Who will trust a country who cant protect its secrets from world publication. A terrorist plan might be missed now, because of Wikileaks, and our sources will be afraid to talk to our operatives around the world."
Who would trust ANY nation? You'd have to be a fool and most of these guys aren't fools, they've got some thing that they think they're going to get out of it. WikiLeak has just reminded them that the risks might be a bit higher than they thought so yes it will reduce our ability to get this type of information and increase the chance that we'll have a few more successful terrorist attacks. The one to blame for this though is not the WikiLeader but the guy that is feeding him information and the US for not protecting this information. Who is going to trust a country that is this sloppy when it comes to protecting this kind of information?
As far as this starting a war? Please, nations don't start wars because of this type of crap. Oh they may use this as an excuse but the real reasons are much more mundane like do I think I can win against so and so. Or how much land/stuff does he have that I want. Then they start looking for an excuse, any will do but this won't be the real cause of something like that.
Earlier this month, Assange, from Melbourne, was facing charges of rape and molestation over a recent trip to Stockholm, Sweden. The rape charges have since been dropped by Swedish prosecutors but the molestation accusation is still outstanding.
British newspaper the Daily Mail has obtained a copy of the police statements made by the two women at the centre of the claims. These indicate that Assange had consensual sex with the women but was reported to police after he refused to use a condom or, later, take an STD test.
One, Anna Ardin, who helped bring Assange to Sweden for a speaking engagement, allegedly let Assange stay in her one-bedroom flat in Stockholm. They went out to dinner and, according to a "police source" quoted in the Daily Mail, "when they got back they had sexual relations, but there was a problem with the condom - it had split".
I personally have a tempered feeling about him. I see that he is doing some unjust harm, and I don't like that. But I also see your argument which is also true much of the time, and it that regard he is doing a good thing.What did it for me was when he published the clear names of countless Afghans who informed on the Taliban invaders. They are getting their throats cut, and this arrogant little bastard just shrugs it off. He deserves a bullet in the neck for that one alone.

I believe that Barky and his master (Soros) gave the OK. How could they not have? Assange made his intentions known well in advance of the release and these wackaloons did nothing? Sorry, but this doesnt pass the smell test.
I couldnt agree more with that and think that many folks feel the same way. It is all just too fishy. Boy, they think we are a bunch of dumb-bunnies.
WikiLeaks was a BO False Flag Op from the beginning. WikiLeaks trashes President Bush and the repubs in advance of the 2010 election, then trashes HC in advance of the 2012 primary. In hundreds of thousands of Wikileaks, there is no mention of BOs BC, passports, muslim faith etc., how much more obvious that BO is behind WikiLeaks does it need to be?
That won't be a problem. All that's needed is a Geiger counter.
You can take a hike too, buddy.
And take Glenn Beck with you.
>And take Glenn Beck with you.
I didn't reference Glenn Beck at all.

Thank you for trying to give me a cookie, but it's a good idea to use "Preview" to make sure that your edit has actually worked. I tried to correct your edit (ie remove the duplicate "WikiLove-" from it), but if I do that then it picks up my own name and says that I've given myself a cookie! And it's also nice to explain to people just why you're giving them a cookie - use the optional "message = " parameter, to tell the recipient why you've chosen them: just at random or for some special work?

User interfaces and touch screens?
View Single Post
July 23rd, 2013 (4:09 AM).
I have a Ph.D in Horribleness.
Join Date:
Dec 2012
So I'm just wondering, which touch screen styles and user interface styles were your favourites in the Pokemon series? Which Poketch apps did you use the most? What would you change or improve on? Were there any niggly things about them that annoyed you?
Personally, my favourite so far was in Heart Gold and Soul Silver. I loved the fact that the touch screen served as your pause menu and you could simply touch it rather than having to actually pause the game. It was just so useful!
D/P/P's Poketch was pretty useful too. Depending on what I was doing I liked to keep the Pokemon Health screen open, just to keep tabs on everyone without having to change. It was definitely the most useful in terms of what you needed. You wanna see daycare guys, just find the app. You wanna find items, just change to the app. It was a pretty decent setup.
Black and White's however. I hated the C-Gear. I rarely have internet functionality for them so it was pretty useless for me and served as a waste of a touch screen. GF could have done a lot more with it if you ask me. I did like how you could register a set list of key items that came up as a list on pressing Y (I think it's Y anyway. I get confused with X and Y buttons...). The itemfinder screen was pretty cool once you got it, but it was a pain to constantly have to reactivate it every time you paused the game. I also liked the bag's ability to sort itself out alphabetically - it's very useful for the overly organised people!
So I'd like to hear other people's opinions on which interfaces, be they touch screen or otherwise, people preferred.
As always, apologies if this thread is in the wrong place. Moderators please feel free to move it to the correct section if you feel it belongs elsewhere!

"God has given me a vision of what I have done to touch, inspire and encourage those people who I have come into contact with. I tell people that I feel like I'm walking down a dirt path with seeds in my pockets and I didn't know I had holes in the pockets. Just within the last two months God said, 'Look back and see what I've done just because of the path that I've had you on.'" (Bob Hlavacek, January 2015)
Looking back, I remember when
This journey I'm on began.
I remember in vivid detail
The dirt path stretching before me,
Disappearing into a distant vale,
Beneath clouds dark and stormy.
I did not question the path.
I did not question the path maker.
I bravely picked up my staff
And began to traverse the first acre.
Years later, I would question the path,
Whether it was all worthwhile,
Yet I continued to cling to and lean on my staff
And navigate each passing mile.
I filled my pockets with seeds,
Seeds of various kind,
To sow among the weeds
To leave a legacy behind,
Longing to see some fruit,
A harvest for all of my labors,
Hoping this one-way commute,
Would be worth the effects of the curse.
As time passed
And elapsed,
The path become more difficult,
And my hoped-for and desired result
Now seemed unattainable,
The plan was just not sustainable,
For just as the path became harder to travel,
My body was failing and starting to unravel.
As the end became visible,
More strenuous and physical,
When I was afraid I could go on no longer,
To my surprise, I found my faith grew stronger,
And the strength to go on,
Away from life's dawn,
Came from a source deep within my core,
From a limitless and bottomless store,
Found only in a desperate trust
That the one who redeemed me must
Carry me on this journey on which He sent me,
To mould me and shape me, so He can present me
Faultless, flawless and fulfilled,
A temple only He could build.
And though my gaze was fixed and set,
My body whispered, "We're not there yet."
So with a weary sigh,
I turned a tired eye,
Back on the path which I traversed,
Back to the few seeds that I dispersed.
And to my amazement and surprise,
A glorious sight lay before my eyes.
The dirt path was transformed,
The whole landscape was reformed
Into a glorious garden and orchard,
With rows upon rows of ordered
Plants and trees bearing fruit beyond count
In innumerable and copious amounts.
I slowly sat down before this astonishing sight.
Surely something was wrong. This could not be right.
How could my humble life of sowing
Reap such a harvest without my knowing?
Suddenly I noticed Him sitting by my side,
Jesus, my Redeemer, my Friend, my Guide.
He smiled and leaned closer,
And placed His arm across my shoulder.
We gazed in silence at the work of all those years,
With our eyes overflowing in grateful tears.
The question in my mind could be summed up in just one word,
And I asked it so softly I'm surprised that He heard,
He wiped a tear from His cheek,
And then turned and smiled at me.
He summed up my history,
Solving this wonderful mystery.
Each trial, each heartache, each broken dream,
Each rocky spot, each impassable stream
Pierced a hole in my pockets full of seeds,
Dropping them into the rocks and weeds,
And the divine Gardener caused them to grow
To bear fruit in these perfectly ordered rows.
While I was completely unaware,
Fruit was cropping up everywhere
Along this dirt path that He ordained,
And what He planted, He sustained.
All of this was not done for me,
But solely for His honor and glory.
(Written 2-6-15)

Set up your remote control
Use this tool to find the codes of your devices and to get specific instructions on programming the codes into your Comcast remote.
New to the Community? Start here.
online now
Comcast is now spaming me with an alert banner on every web page I visit. How do I get rid of this? Nothing at Xfinity (where they send me) offers any help. The whole thing is set up for Windows users. I don't want to chat with anyone and they won't let me email them (they send me to chat when I attempt to submit my email). I am about to cancel my comcast account!
I think you mean Time Capsule; Time Machine is the backup software that uses it.
You configure the Time Capsule using the Apple Airport Utility. To enter DNS servers, select Internet from the toolbar, go to the Internet Connection tab, and enter the servers in the DNS Servers fields. The manual can be found at:
What kind of router do you have? We should be able to help you fix it, and find an online manual.
You're welcome. You should be able to find the documentation on the manufactures website as well.
You can also see what we're seeing by visiting https://amibotted.comcast.net
I have followed the provioded link and at the end it determines that I am not infected. I do not have a book for my router. I will look into the reset tip. Thanks.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with this. You should be able consult the users manual of your router to figure out how to see the DNS settings. You can also reset your router, and that will clear the DNS Settings.
Have you followed the DIY options on http://xfinity.comcast.net/constantguard/botassist
There's a One-Click Fix in step one. Does that say it found traces of the bot?
click on persons name in red ( jlivingood )
Send them a PM private message that person is expert in this field of dns changer bot problems .
im just nother comcast user tryin to help out here .
I just saw post yesterday about updating Java if you have that installed . Apple icon > software update .
I ran the symantec remover but I still get the &%*#@ alert banner. MY mac is clean according to three different sources. How is a router affected and how do you change a router DNS? I can find no info about router DNS settings. Looks like I will have to completely cancel all Comcast services to get rid of their spam.
jlivingood ? What settings in router would have been changed ?
Q. I have a Mac, can this be affected?
A. Yes. We have seen many Mac's infected with this bot already. It's also likely that your router has had it's settings changed by the bot. We encourage that you check all devices in your home that use the internet.

It's great news for the Facebook lovers! Facebook, the social networking lead is going places. It has officially opened an engineering office internationally for the first time in London, United Kingdom.
Phenomenal growth of social media has proved to be a boon for many. On the other end of the spectrum, it has had its share of controversies, as detractors harp about the flip side of this form of media.
News Corp.'s troubles don't seem to be ending any time soon.
BP announced in London Friday that one of its minority partners in the blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico has agreed to pay $1 billion. The money is being paid as a part of the cleanup costs owed by the BP's partner, MOEX Offshore.

Other Mosquito-Borne Diseases
Of all the arthropods capable of transmitting disease to man, the mosquito is the most important. This is due in part to its high numbers, the need to blood feed among many female mosquitoes in order to develop their eggs and the mosquito's close association with man.
Mosquito-borne diseases are diverse and have a global distribution. The greater burden of disease currently exists in developing countries but historically the United States has suffered from a great many mosquito-borne diseases. The United States is still at risk from current mosquito-borne pathogens circulating within the country and pathogens imported through infected individuals who have traveled, without precaution, in countries endemic for these diseases.
Some pathogens carried by mosquitoes are specific to certain groups of mosquitoes e.g. malaria to Anopheles mosquitoes whilst others, such as West Nile virus, can be transmitted by many different types of mosquito.
The following is a list and brief description of some of the mosquito-borne diseases that can be transmitted to man.
St. Louis Encephalitis
What is St. Louis encephalitis?
It is a major disease caused by a mosquito borne virus that may affect the central nervous system in humans. Infected birds provide the source of viral infection for blood feeding mosquitoes (usually Culex mosquitoes). Birds will often show no symptoms of infection and once recovered will be immune to the virus for the remainder of their lives. Occasionally infected mosquitoes transmit the virus to humans and animals.
Where is it found and how common is it in humans?
The virus was first isolated in 1933 during an epidemic in St. Louis, Missouri and has since been detected in epidemics occurring across the country. One of the last major outbreaks occurred in Florida and Texas in 1990.The disease is not common in Virginia.
What are the symptoms in humans?
Mild symptoms include headache and fever. More serious symptoms include additional symptoms such as stiff neck, disorientation, coma, paralysis and death.
Who is at greatest risk?
Deterioration of infrastructure in highly populated areas may lead to the increase in the optimal habitats for Culex mosquitoes. As a result, people living or working in such areas during an outbreak are at great risk of contracting the infection.
There is a high fatality rate amongst the elderly during St. Louis encephalitis outbreaks and so this group must take care to avoid infection (see Prevention)
What can I do to prevent it?
There is no vaccine available for the virus and so the best prevention is to avoid areas undergoing known outbreaks and to avoid the bite of the mosquito. See Prevention
Where can I find more information?

Eastern Equine Encephalitis
What is Eastern Equine
Eastern Equine encephalitis (EEE) is a viral infection that naturally cycles between the bird and mosquito populations. Occasionally, an infected mosquito may transmit the virus to horses, some other domesticated animals or in rare cases, humans. The resulting disease affects the central nervous system and is associated with a high rate of mortality and mild to severe neurological problems left in those who survive.
Where is it found and how common is it in humans?
EEE is found throughout the Americas. In North America, it occurs in Canada and along the eastern seaboard and Gulf Coast of the United States.
The mosquitoes most often found carrying the virus in Virginia are the bird biting mosquitoes, Culiseta melanura and are associated with swamps. Typically, such areas have a limited human population thus transmission from infected mosquito to human seldom occurs. Figures for Virginia in 2004, record few cases of EEE among horses and none amongst humans.
What are the symptoms in humans?
Flu like symptoms may occur 4-10 days after a bite from an infected mosquito. Symptoms include fever, muscle ache, headache, vomiting, seizures, fatigue or coma.
Who is at greatest risk?
Those living or visiting areas in which the virus is common are at greatest risk at contracting EEE.
Individuals under the age of 15 and over the age of 50 appear to be at greatest risk of developing severe disease.
What can I do to prevent it?
There is no vaccine to protect humans from the disease and so the best precaution is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes particularly in areas where the infection is common. See Preventing West Nile virus
Where can I find more information?

Virginia Department of Health - Arboviral Infections
La Crosse Encephalitis
What is it?
La Crosse encephalitis is a rare viral disease of the central nervous system spread through the bite of an infected mosquito and is named after La Crosse, Wisconsin, where it was first identified in 1963. The natural cycle of the infection typically involves the movement of virus between the tree hole mosquito, Ochlerotatus triseriatus, and woodland vertebrates such as squirrels and chipmunks. Occasionally, the virus may be transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito to humans.
Where is it found and how common is it in humans?
The virus has been found throughout the Midwestern and Mid-atlantic States. There was one human case of La Crosse encephalitis detected in Virginia in 2004.
Who is at risk?
Children under the age of 16 are at greatest risk of disease. In addition, people who reside or work in or near woodland environments where the virus is present are also at risk of contracting the disease.
What are the symptoms?
Most people infected with La Crosse encephalitis will show no symptoms of disease. Others may show symptoms including fever, headache, nausea and vomiting. In more severe cases, convulsions, tremors and coma may occur. La Crosse encephalitis is associated with a low mortality rate and neurological complications which often resolve after several years.
How do I prevent it?
The best prevention is to avoid the bite of mosquitoes and reduce the number of mosquito breeding sites in your environment. See Preventing West Nile virus.

CDC - Fact Sheet: La Crosse Encephalitis
Zika Virus
What is Zika virus?
Zika virus is a disease spread through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. Because the Aedes species mosquitoes that spread Zika virus are found in Virginia, there is a risk of Zika virus being imported to Virginia and being transmitted by local mosquitoes during mosquito season. The infection is not generally transmitted directly from person to person. However, occasional reports of Zika virus infection transmitted through sexual contact have been reported previously in scientific literature.
Where is it found and how common is it in humans?
Zika has been found in areas of Africa, including Cape Verde; the Caribbean; Central and South America; Mexico; Southeast Asia; and the Pacific Islands. Zika cases in the continental United States typically involve travelers returning from Zika-affected areas.
What are the symptoms?
Most people experience no symptoms or only mild symptoms. If symptoms occur, they may include fever, rash, muscle and joint pain, red eyes caused by conjunctivitis (pink eye) and headache, which can last up to a week.
Who is at greatest risk?
People living in or traveling to Zika-affected areas are at most risk of becoming infected. Until more information is known about the risks of Zika virus infection during pregnancy and through sexual contact, people are encouraged to take steps to protect themselves. (See CDC's guidelines for pregnant women and for preventing sexual transmission of Zika virus.)
If travel cannot be avoided, take precautions to minimize exposure to mosquitoes, including using repellents; wearing long sleeves, long pants and socks; and sleeping in rooms with screened windows or air conditioning.
What can I do to prevent it?
There is no vaccine to prevent Zika, so the best thing to do is avoid mosquito bites.
What are public health officials in Virginia doing about the threat
of Zika?
The Virginia Department of Health continues to monitor the Zika situation closely and will provide additional information to clinicians and the general public as new information arises.
Health care providers who are concerned about an illness in a patient who traveled to an area of the world affected by Zika virus should consult with their local health department about the need for testing. Public health will make arrangements for testing as necessary.

Nowadays the final bankruptcy of U.S. colleges and universities is usually proceeded by loss of accreditation because students cannot obtain federal grants and loans if they attend colleges and universities that are not accredited by federally recognized accreditation bodies. Accordingly, the location of the vast majority of HBCUs in the nation's southern states makes the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) Commission on Colleges the ultimate arbiter of the survival of the HBCU community.
This blog was established by the Digital Learning Lab to leverage Black America's efforts to close the Digital Divide. Its original name "HBCU-Levers" reflected its original focus on HBCUs, specifically: their use of Internet technology in their teaching, research, and community service. The blog's scope has recently been extended to include the efforts of community-based groups to enhance the computational thinking skills of Black Americans and the efforts of Black software entrepreneurs.

It's Canada Day! So I've stuck a photo of my most very proud moment as a Canadian. I got to carry our great nation's flag, the Maple Leaf, into the Bird's Nest Stadium for the Opening Ceremony for the Beijing Summer Olympics, four years ago. What a thrill, what an honour, what a privilege, and what an awesome memory. I love Canada, it's my favourite place in the world, and this was my proudest moment as a Canadian, ever.
So I'm training in Budapest, well, in Szolnok just outside Budapest. I'm with the usual suspects, Anders Gustafsson and Kenny Wallace and the infamous Aussie gang of four... Murray Stewart, David Smith, Tate Smith and Jacob Clear. Akos Vereckei and Gábor Bozsik have also joined into a few sessions so that we've got a solid 9 lanes of World and Olympic medallists in every session. They are the hardest working dudes in our sport, so it's a manacingly hard program, but it's a lot of fun, and plenty rewarding. Thanks to Coach Jimmy and Coach Luce for all the cold drinks and words of wise encouragement. I've got another week of abuse to put up with here (or rather, self-inflict). I'm looking forward to every exhausting session, each ripping fast kilometer, and every hard stroke, with masochistic anticipation. I love the result, so I am more than happy to embrace the process. I get more out of the hard work than fitness. I am mentally more attune, stronger psychologically, and increasingly at one with my boat and paddle (ok, at three?)... with every stroke I execute.
Two things, real quick, ok? Go and buy the Cottage Life magazine at Roots. It means a lot to me. I wrote the feature and I'm really proud of it, and I want to share it with my millions of vankayak.com readers, but the only way for you to read it, is to buy the magazine. If you don't live in Canada, (I'm sorry that you don't because Canada is the best) Cottage Life might be tough to find, but I will maybe try to post the article online after the magazine has hit 20Million+ in sales.
The second thing is this 2-pager I wrote for the Dominion Day Regatta Programme. It's educational, so I'm including it here in case you are going to Ottawa for Canada Day, or do not live in Canada (again, my sincerest condolences, here: CLICK). HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!
Dominion Day Regatta 2012 – Required Reading by Adam van Koeverden
I've been considering what exactly Dominion Day Regatta goers would like to read in their Dominion Day Regatta Program. In all likelihood, you've purchased it to have a (relatively) accurate account of when your races, or the races of your children or grandchildren might be scheduled to come down the Allan Lamport Regatta Course on Toronto Island. So consider my musings here to be a bonus! I apologize if you'd prefer a Sudoku puzzle or a crossword or something. I'll try to be less frustrating than a Sudoku puzzle and more thorough than a crossword because I don't think I've ever finished a crossword but I promise I will finish this article. I suppose my role here is to provide a little "Canadian Canoe-Kayak Content" in this Olympic year; it was also a leap-year, as all Summer Olympic years are. This Dominion Day Regatta Program is, after all, funded in part by the Government of Canada (like me!), and is thus subject to the same CanCon laws that dictate that 40% of all programming be made, at least in some part, in Canada or by a Canadian. I'm in Florida right now (and it's April), but I'm totally Canadian, so I assure you, this is legit CanCon right here. Oh, and it's Canada Day where you are, fantastic! Happy Canada Day!
That Regatta Course there? Yeah, that one. It's called the Allan Lamport Regatta Course. There's an Allan A. Lamport Stadium up by my place on King Street as well. I've played soccer there before, and yes it is indeed named after the same guy. The middle 'A' stands for Austin. Ol' Lampy was the Mayor of our great city in the 1950s. And we've got plenty more than just this racecourse to thank him for! His most notable achievement, at least as it applies to the Dominion Day Regatta today, was to oppose the City of Toronto's "Blue Laws", which prohibited the playing of sports in the city on Sundays. The puritan forebears of our great city locked up playing fields and even swing-sets on Sundays! He cut them padlocks right off of them playgrounds.
Today is Sunday! Actually today, the day I'm writing this article, in April, is really a Sunday. As is the Dominion Day Regatta this year, YOUR Sunday. I feel like I'm writing for a time capsule. What is the future like, dear reader? One of Lampy's most famous quotations was: "It's hard to make predictions - especially about the future". (I'm not making this up.)
Well I'll be! If it weren't for Ol' Lampy we wouldn't be here today racin' kayaks and canoes and those funky backwards-boats would we? We'd all be in our Sunday best, pewin' up for communion and psalms! I'm certain I haven't offended anyone because if you are reading this, then you're in breach of the Christian Sabbath anyhow. Sorry if I did, though.
His Excellency Mayor Allan A. Lamport also petitioned the Province of Ontario to allow for the opening of cocktail bars in the city of Toronto. Until 1947 there weren't any! You'd have to go to a speakeasy for a drink, or, ironically, to Church if it happened to be Sunday. Sports and booze! Mayor Allan sounds ok.
Lampy also believed in public housing, but hippies really got on his nerves. He smoked cigars and presented the awards at the Miss Toronto Pageant at the Exhibition Place every year he was mayor. He also flew planes in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was instrumental in getting the city to build both the Island Airport and Pearson International. He oversaw the building of our subway system here, too. Too bad he left it up to the fella in charge now to finish it, eh? I think smart people should run cities, and I think public services are worth a few bucks in taxes and I like to ride my bike safely in Toronto, so suffice to say I'm not a huge fan of the guy in charge now. But I feel like I would have liked Allan. You were all right, Lampy.
It's nice to have a little history lesson at the Regatta isn't it? I'd be remiss if I didn't thank Wikipedia for all that juicy Toronto lore.
So today is the last week of my 10-week Florida training camp. In 11 weeks it'll be Canada Day, Canada's 145th Birthday, that's your today. If all goes to plan over the course of the next 11 weeks then I'll be training in Hungary right now, preparing for my third Olympic Games. Sadly, over the course of my racing career I've spent quite a few Canada Days abroad. I'll be celebrating today with a mini Maple Leaf flag, a North of 60 DVD box set, some very loud Men Without Hats (Safety Dance, for the CanCon) and bowl of goulash all on my own here in Szolonok.
Even now, more than 100 days removed from the Olympics, I'm getting pretty excited. For you, dear reader, we're only 5 weeks away! Oh man, that makes me a little nervous. One of the most common questions I've received from young paddlers over the years is: "Don't you get nervous?" My answer is invariably the same every time: "Of course". Since I do, every single time I line up to race. I think we get nervous about things we really care about. That's how I deal with the nerves, I think: "Well, if I wasn't nervous I guess I wouldn't care, and if I didn't care then I wouldn't do very well, so in order to do well in my race I'd better be nervous!" So if you're nervous right now for your race coming up, maybe that helps. Or if your kids are nervous you could share that with them. No, wait. That's not cool. Kids don't want their parents telling them not to be nervous. Just tell them I'm cool, "Adam van Koeverden is cool, eh guys?" Actually... will the kids think I'm cool, if their parents tell them I am? Maybe not... Maybe we should have just gone with a Sudoku puzzle, huh?
Another common question I get is about goal setting. I've been asked by the media what my goal is for London, ad naseum. They've often framed the question like "Adam, you've carried our flag at the Closing and Opening Ceremony, and you've won an Olympic medal of all three colours, what are your goals leading into London?" Alright, I admit it. Nobody asked me that question, I just wanted to brag about my Olympic stuff. But, if anybody does ask, I'll tell them that my goal is always the same. I just want to race my very best. I want to cross the finish line knowing that I couldn't have gone any faster. I want to be sure my tank is totally empty, that I executed a perfect race with great, efficient technique and made all these thousands of kilometers in training worthwhile. That's why we train so hard, to make our bests even better.
Good luck to you, and your club mates or your kids or grandkids or whoever you're at the Allan Lamport Regatta Course to cheer on today. We've got a great sport, don't we? It's thanks to those who've committed so much of their livelihoods to Canoeing in Canada. So, thank a volunteer or a coach today. Or, in the case that you're a volunteer or a coach then, hey... Thanks Eh? Happy Canada Day!

Župa dubrovačka is also near a beautiful small city called Cavtat (8 km) that has its own historical beauty. Župa dubrovačka, with its shallow beaches and beautifully landscaped promenades is the perfect place for all ages. Experience the Mediterranean as it used to be on one of the world's cleanest and most beautiful seas. You will like it here, I am sure!
Two rooms have an interior bathroom (the bathroom is inside of the room) and one of this two rooms has it's private balcony.
Two rooms have it's private bathroom that is located outside the room(first door next to the room).
Studio apartment has a private kitchen and private bathroom inside of the room.
We also have one big kitchen that guests from the rooms can use and two big terraces that every one can use. One big terrace is covered with natural shade while the other one can be used for a great view on the place and catching some sun because only one part is cowered with shade.
During your stay in our rooms you can expect a clean room, clean sheets and towels that are often changed and pleasant hosts. When you arrive you will be welcomed and you will receive your keys, WiFi password and someone will show you your room, kitchen and terraces. You can also expect to receive all the information you need and when ever you need them. My family lives in the house and you can always ask them everything and you can always write to me.
Our house is in great location. Why? Well first of all there are no uphills and stairs from our house to the nearest beach that is only 700 meters from our house. That is very important because sometimes 200 meters from the sea means a lot more than this 700. And the second reason is that you have all that you need in a 700 meter circle from our house. For example:
- There are excellent restaurants nearby - only 100 meters from us;
- Ambulance is 100 meters from our house;
- Cafe bars - 700 meters;
- Two supermarkets are 400 meters from us, and a small private store is around the corner - 100 meters from us;
- The bus station is only 100 meters from our house and there is another one 300 meters away;
- Gas station: 400 meters
- Post office: 200 meters
- Bank: 400 meters
- Bakery: 150 meters
- ATM: 350 meters
- Pharmacy: 450 meters
Dubrovnik is easy to reach from Župa dubrovačka with public transportation. There is a bus every 20 minutes and it takes him 15 minutes to reach the city. The ticket for one person in one direction is 15,00 kunas (Croatian currency) and that is around 2,00 € or 2,5 $.
Please note that breakfast is not included in the price. The price of breakfast is 5,00 € per person. Also if you need transfer feel free to ask me before you decide to order a taxi. Also I can help you if you need a car rental.
I am here to answer all of your questions at any time.
1. We expect that you are responsible for the damage you make to the room (if it comes to that).
2. Please respect the late hours for other guests and neighbors.
3. Please leave the kitchen clean after each use because other guests will use it after you do. This is also applies for the all terraces. Also please note that the kitchen is not intended for preparing complicated meals that take a long time to prepare because everyone has the right to use the kitchen. Thanks!
4. We expect that you have a nice time!
We feel these rules are fair and hope that you understand why they are here. Thanks!

Eine besondere und sehr nett, aber etwas aus dem Weg zu Platz. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich.
Un lugar peculiar y muy agradable aunque algo alejado del centro. Los anfitriones fueron muy simpáticos.
Wir machen 2 Wochen Rundreise entlang der Westküste von Kroatien. Dubrovnik ist unsere erste Station. Wir haben wirklich erlebt viele freundlich und hilfsbereit kroatischen Volkes. Boksic Familie ist einer von ihnen. Danke Mama, Papa und Boksic Brüder
Das Haus sucht in Mlini / Kupari, die beide Busse 10 und 16 erreichen die Altstadt. Denken Sie daran, auf der linken Seite des Busses auf dem Weg nach Dubrovnik, den Blick auf das Meer zu fangen sitzen. Verpassen Sie nicht die beiden Restaurants am Ende der Hauptstraße. Grillgerichte sind ganz nett.
Der Ort ist auf jeden Fall der Wert, empfohlen.

The house locates at Mlini/Kupari which both buses 10 and 16 can easily reach the old town. Remember to sit on the left side of the bus on the way to Dubrovnik to catch the sea view. Don't miss both restaurants at end of main road. Grilled food are quite nice.
The place is definitely worth of value, recommended.
Familie sehr freundlich .. Sehr schönes Resort, 7 km von Dubrovnik entfernt.
Family very friendly.. Very nice resort, 7 km from Dubrovnik.
Hervorragende Gastfreundschaft. Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und fürsorglich. Das Haus ist sehr gut in einer ruhigen und gut belüfteten Bereich positioniert, aber weit weg von der Stadt, die ein Fahrzeug benötigt. Es fehlt eine Karte, dass wir nicht von Windu haben, schade, dass wir verlor drei Stunden auf der Suche. glücklicherweise die Gastgeber gaben sich alle Mühe, um zu reparieren.
Outstanding hospitality. The hosts are very nice and caring.
The house is very well positioned in a quiet and well-ventilated area, but away from the city, which requires a vehicle.
It lacks a map that we do not have by Windu, shame we lost three hours looking.
fortunately the hosts made every effort to repair.

text: Is it possible to summon posts from two categories, instead of just one? If so, how would I add the second category into the standard tag? I see a response from you about adding multiple tags with and/or operators. Will the same apply to categories? For example, "NameOfCategory1+NameOfCategory2"? Thank you.
