Back in October I reviewed the Fujifilm S8000fd, which at the time was the flagship of Fuji's extensive range of super-zoom cameras. That model is still available for around £160, although it has been superseded by the S8100fd, which I'm hoping to review very soon, and it has also been joined in Fuji's range by several other new super-zoom models, including the excellent S5800 and this, the new 10-megapixel, 12x zoom S1000fd.
Fuji is touting the S1000fd as "the world's smallest 12x optical zoom", and they're not kidding. The product shots shown here don't really convey just how tiny this camera is. It measures just 102.5 × 73 × 67.8mm and weighs 325g minus batteries. Compare this with the S8000fd at 111.3 x 78.2 x 78.9mm and 410g, or even the far from bulky S5800 at 106.1 x 75.7 x 80.7 mm and 307g and you'll see it is very small indeed for a genuine super-zoom camera.
The odd thing is though, that despite it being quite small, there's no way this could be considered a pocket camera. It follows the same SLR-like shape that Fujifilm has used for all its super-zoom models going back to the 4900 Zoom launched in 2000. It has a large rubberised handgrip containing four AA batteries, a pop-up flash inside a large viewfinder turret, and a relatively large protruding lens barrel. Compared to a real pocket super-zoom such as the Panasonic TZ4 it still looks a little over-sized.
The S1000fd is currently on sale for around £164, although some retailers have it priced significantly higher. There aren't too many other cameras that can be easily stand in direct comparison with the S1000fd's unusual specification. One is the forthcoming General Imaging X3 which I'm hoping to review as soon as it's available, but the price for that model has yet to be announced. The Panasonic TZ4 is another compact long-zoom camera, but it is very different in both style and specification, and costs considerably more at around £250. Perhaps the fairest comparison is with a camera that most potential buyers will also be considering, the 8-megapixel, 10x zoom FinePix S5800, which is currently selling for as little as £116.

i purchased this little camera on a shopping outing.i had not read the reviews and now realize its a fairly new basic model. ive carried out varying tests and have to say the I.S is not really a problem .. but that damn focus is. ive been trying out the video feature. this would be handy as shooting direct to a SD card could be usefull. at the wide setting the focus isnt anything to worry about .. but when you zoom out things get tricky. in STILL mode its just the same.
the Q of the images are very good. ive tried a few digital cameras .. my previous is a olympus C700uz which was just amazing when it was 1st launched. theres no comparison even to the newer 5mpix phone cameras. { i have a Samsung G600 5mpix } .. the 2.1mpix C700 can still hold its ground .. { and you can lock the focus} although its getting on a bit now.
but its still slow even for a 2.1mpix camera. i bought a Pentax k100d on the strength of reviews .. and its very good .. but generally bulky! changing lenses is a pain.
this is what i like about the Ultra Zooms. they require less fuss { with lenses }.. and give adequate results for the weekend snapper. you can see a few of my humble photos here.
http://www.flickr.com/photo... plus they can be a lot smaller.
i will probably keep looking for a simular UZ camera but with the focus lock. i think the s1000fd is a brilliant little camera. ive moved the Olympus and Pentax into the cupboard .. although this Fuji wont replace the Pentax completely. with the movie mode it may even replace my Hitachi dvd camcorder.
Time exposures also work well .. with sufficient lighting and tripod. it lacks a filter thread and manual focus .. but makes up in portability.
I purchased my FinePix S1000fd 3 weeks ago and I am finding the results very impressive, so far I have not had one dud shot. If I were to be totally honest, the only aspect of the camera that I can find criticism with is the over saturation of some of the images that I have taken but of course, this can be corrected in most graphics editors to a smoe degree.
On the whole, I would recommed this camera to anyone looking for a neat compact camera. It caters for all aspects of photography at a very good price.
This would make a nice camera, were it not for the fact that it breaks easily and the warranty sucks. This is the second and last time I'll ever buy a Fujifilm product again.

Broncos tight end Julius Thomas is battling a knee strain and is a true game-time decision for tonight's game against the Patriots. But for those looking for clues regarding his status this morning, here's one from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport:
"Broncos expect a decision on TE Julius Thomas (knee) this morning. Still up in the air. Heard last night 'it's not looking good,'" Rapoport tweeted.
Fantasy Analysis:
My advice to Thomas' fantasy owners would be to play it safe. Go start Delanie Walker, Coby Fleener, or Garrett Graham. Thomas may play, but we don't know how much or how effective he will be. Plus, the late kickoff severely limits your options if you decide to wait on Thomas. If he can't play, Joel Dreessen, Virgil Green , and Jacob Tamme will split snaps for Denver.

text: Home > Services > Urology Services > FAQs Services FAQs How long will I have blood in my urine after a urological procedure? It is possible to have blood in your urine off and on for several weeks after urologic procedures. The blood can be tea-colored, pink or bright red; you may even notice some clots. You may have several days where your urine is clear to light yellow and then have some blood, this is normal. As long as you are able to empty your bladder of urine, and can push fluids and the urine clears up, you do not need to contact the office. If you have bright red blood that is very thick and lasts most of the day, or is associated with pain or fever, you should contact the office and discuss this with your provider. If you have a ureteral stent in place the blood may come and go while you have the stent; this is normal. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids to help "rinse" your urologic system. You may notice when you are more active, there seems to be blood, this is normal. The urologic system has many little blood vessels that can bleed when the stent rubs against the tissue. This does not hurt or harm you and you do not need to limit your daily activity. A small drop of blood in urine can color the entire volume of urine.

An indwelling foley catheter is a tube that drains urine from your bladder into a drainage bag. It is held in place by a balloon filled with fluid inside your bladder. While this is in place, please follow the below instructions: Wash hands with soap and water before and after handling the catheter and drainage bag. Empty your drainage bag once every 8 hours or as soon as the bag is half full. Do not postpone emptying the drainage bag, as this can cause the urine to back up into your bladder and puts you at risk for infection and leakage around the catheter. To empty the drainage bag, loosen the clamp or twist the spout on the leg or large bedside bags. Do not touch the tip of the drainage tube. Drain the urine directly into the toilet or into a container and then discard the urine in the toilet. After emptying the drainage bag you may use a cloth or towel to wipe away any excess urine before closing the clamp or twisting the spout closed. Always keep the drainage bag lower than where the catheter comes out of your body. The urine cannot drain uphill or against gravity. Check the tubing for kinks, urine cannot drain past a kink. Make sure to drink plenty of liquids to keep your bladder "flushed" out. Clear liquids and water are ideal. Try to drink enough fluid that your urine color is clear to light yellow. If you are on a fluid restriction, check with your provider on how much you should drink daily. Clean your body where the catheter comes out with soap and water daily. Make sure to rinse well, but do not soak in a tub while the catheter is in place. If you wish to rinse your drainage bags, you can do this by rinsing the inside of the bag with warm soapy water and then rinsing it well with clear water. If you notice a strong odor inside the bag, you can fill the drainage bag with a solution that is one part vinegar to four parts water. Let it soak on the inside of the bag for about 30 minutes. Empty the bag and let it air dry. Never try to flush or insert anything into the catheter that is coming out of your body. Do not cut or attempt to manipulate the Y port that comes off the side of the catheter coming out of your body. This can cause the catheter to become dislodged, and could require an emergent visit to the ER or your doctor for reinsertion of a new catheter. Urine leaking around the catheter can occur. This may occur when you are attempting to have a bowel movement due to the intra-abdominal pressure. Some patients experience bladder spasms or cramps that are typically very short in duration and cause leakage around the catheter as it is occurring. If you are not having a BM or bladder spasm/cramp, and notice most of your urine leaking around the catheter and not draining into the drainage bag, you should contact your doctor's office.

Privacy is a big concern in current video surveillance systems. Due to privacy issues, many strategic places remain unmonitored leading to security threats. The main problem with existing privacy protection methods is that they assume availability of accurate region of interest (RoI) detectors that can detect and hide the privacy sensitive regions such as faces. However, the current detectors are not fully reliable, leading to breaches in privacy protection. In this paper, we propose a privacy protection method that adopts adaptive data transformation involving the use of selective obfuscation and global operations to provide robust privacy even with unreliable detectors. Further, there are many implicit privacy leakage channels that have not been considered by researchers for privacy protection. We block both implicit and explicit channels of privacy leakage. Experimental results show that the proposed method incurs 38% less distortion of the information needed for surveillance in comparison to earlier methods of global transformation; while still providing near-zero privacy loss.

The New York Yankees might be heavily reliant on a long ball driven offense, but when they receive starting pitching like they did on Sunday night from Hiroki Kuroda against the Red Sox, the combination goes a long way towards success. The Red Sox were unable to figure out Kuroda, with two solo shots from Ichiro Suzuki highlighting the Yankees offense in a 4-1 loss to conclude a disappointing 4-6 road trip.
This sounds familiar: Josh Beckett was roughed up by the Yankees, despite showing good stuff at times through his six innings of work. Beckett (5-11) allowed all four runs on seven hits and three walks, while striking out three. The two big blasts were the titanic home runs by Ichiro, though the Yankees took a 2-0 lead prior on an RBI double and a run scored on a wild pitch uncorked by Beckett.
Ichiro has been a successful component for the Yankees since his departure from Seattle, hitting over .300 with New York in 26 games. The outfielder has also homered three times with the Yankees, after hitting just four in nearly 100 games for the Mariners. Derek Jeter was also a force for the Yankees against Beckett, scoring the first two runs and collecting three hits.
The real story for New York though was Kuroda (12-8), who pitched eight strong innings against the Sox, allowing one run on four hits while striking out four. A theme for the Boston offense remains their inability to make pitchers work and draw walks, again failing to receive a free pass from Kuroda, though he threw 75 of his 112 pitches for strikes.
The one blemish for Kuroda came in the seventh inning, when Adrian Gonzalez kept up his hot hitting with a solo shot of his own. Gonzalez is hitting .307 with 15 home runs and 85 RBI, continuing to boost his power numbers. Still, a single run was far from enough and Rafael Soriano closed out his 31st save of the year.
The long-term fate of Carl Crawford will be revealed sometime early this week, but considering a surgical procedure is a significant option it's possible that Sunday night was Crawford's last game of the season. In his final at bat of the night, he singled off of Soriano before being erased on a double play. Crawford is hitting .282 and has looked much more like the player Boston though they were getting before 2011.
The Red Sox have not won a series in the month of August, as they continue to slide further down the standings with a 59-63 record. Instead of worrying about the five teams in front of them in the wild card race, Boston may have to look in the rearview mirror where the Seattle Mariners are closer than they appear, just a game back of the sinking Sox. They are 7.5 games back of the second wild card spot, and 13.5 games out in the division. They open a series with the Angels back at Fenway Park on Tuesday night.

In the biblical account, Adam and Eve were created in God's image, without any moral defect. But they did have free will, a prerequisite for them to be able to love. When Adam and Eve rebelled against God, they fell under Satan's power (see Heb. 2:14), an act that brought the whole world under the enemy's power, as well. Jesus, though, came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) and free us from his power. He did this by dying in our place and offering us life. On the cross, Jesus became sin for us (2 Cor. 5:21) and experienced the separation from His Father that sin causes. By His death, Jesus restored the relationship between God and humanity that had been broken by the sin of Adam and Eve.
All these points are logically linked to the Creation story. Creation comes into the picture again as the power of the Creator God is exercised to create a new heart in His children (2 Cor. 5:17), renewing the image of God within us and restoring our relationship with Him ... ► Read the entire Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide lesson

Robert De Niro's acclaimed drama The Good Shepherd and Steven Soderbergh's wartime noir homage The Good German are among the first six competition titles to be named in next month's Berlin Film Festival.
The Good Shepherd, starring Matt Damon, recounts the early years of the CIA and won a string of rave reviews Stateside. It is De Niro's first directorial outing since A Bronx Tale opened in 1993. The Good German stars George Clooney, Cate Blanchett and Tobey Maguire and tries to recapture the black and white, atmosphere-laden sensibilities of such classics as Casablanca and The Third Man.
Other competition include Bille August's Goodbye Bafana, starring Joseph Fiennes and Dennis Haysbert, about a white prison guard who befriends Nelson Mandela, and Irina Palm from Belgian director Sam Garbarski, which features a star turn by Marianne Faithfull as a widow who takes a job in a sex club
Rounding out the roster are Christian Petzold's German tale Yella, about a woman who flees a bad marriage, and South Korean auteur Park Chan-wook's I Am A Cyborg But That's OK, which follows a psychiatric patient who believes she is part-woman, part-robot.
The Berlin Film Festival is set to run from Feb 8-18.

Like a box of chocolates
Linux for the GNU South — it's coming up so attend if you can.
A glorious day indeed, filled with a variety of thoughts: While I was out enjoying it, I got to thinking about both the grand-scheme and minutiae goings-on in FOSSland, much of which has everyone asnitter moreso than atwitter.
There's the OpenOffice.org handoff — or as some would put it, the OO.o drop kick — to the Apache Foundation by Oracle. This comes as no surprise. If Oracle were a good FOSS citizen, they'd have given it to the Document Foundation and LibreOffice would be its rightful heir. But this is Oracle we're talking about, right? With Oracle finally washing their hands of OO.o, it remains to be seen what becomes of it. But since the barn door has been open for quite some time and the LibreOffice horse is at home out in the pasture, I am not sure if keeping OO.o around would be worth it.
Incidentally, LibreOffice is an outstanding program which kicks serious butt, just as OpenOffice.org did, and it's nothing short of miraculous that the fork hasn't missed a beat in transitioning from OO.o. So far, that's the story of the year for 2011. I use it. I like it. I'm in their camp.
Walking among the redwoods, it's hard to be annoyed at the new desktop wars: Not GNOME versus KDE, but the systematic "simplicity" of desktop environments like GNOME 3 and Unity. For netbooks and other mobile user interfaces, this may work and may be necessary. I don't use netbooks or smart phones — I use a desktop or a laptop, and I'd like my desktop environment to look and function like a one. Call me old school, but desktops like KDE — which I'm using more and more as of late — and Xfce are looking better and better.
Also, I don't assume that people who are new to Linux are complete morons who need a dumbing down of the desktop environment to convince them to join the ranks of FOSS users. But that's me.
Finally, I live in a great area at the western foot of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the small range that separates the ocean from the Silicon Valley east of here. Not only is the proximity of the Valley a boon, but another of many perks in living here is having folks in the area like Cabrillo College networking professor and Cisco author Rick Graziani. Rick is opening his IPv6 seminars this month to the public — "Everyone is welcome! You do not have to be a former or a current student. All you need is to have an interest in learning more about IPv6 and don't mind listening to me for a couple of hours," Rick writes (though prior knowledge of IPv4 is required).
The talks are Thursday, June 23 — Intro to IPv6 — and Friday, June 24 — Intro to Routing IPv6 — at the horticultural building room 5005 at Cabrillo College, 6500 Soquel Drive, Aptos. Both talks run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
You do need to RSVP to Rick at graziani-at-cabrillo-dot-edu to attend. Tell him Larry the Free Software Guy sent you.

Miscellaneous ramblings
Back to school: The last time I had a college ID, Gerald Ford was president, disco was ravaging the country and I — try not to laugh — entertained thoughts of studying architecture. Of course, Ford passed away and disco faded away (only to become part of a '70s-based sitcom) and my all-but-non-existent math skills had no chance to fade away, guiding me from this failed endeavor to become the next Frank Lloyd Wright and propelling me into the writing field.
But 32 years after proudly graduating at the middle of my class from Monsignor Edward Pace High School in Opa Locka, Fla., I am a college student again, this time at Cabrillo College in Aptos, Calif., where my sole class to date is Intro to Unix/Linux.
Jim Griffin, a pretty enthusiastic and all-around good instructor, teaches the course. I have about 30-some-odd (meaning there are about 30, some of them odd) classmates and the course seems to be pretty easy, so far — that year of self-study masquerading as throwing myself into FOSS didn't hurt. Needless to say, I will keep you posted on the class and my yet-to-be-announced efforts to start a Cabrillo LUG. Oops . . .
Born free: A couple of those who commented on the blog's name change — as well as those of you who e-mailed me personally — seem to think that I am a recent convert to free software. Nope — I've always been on the side of "free as in freedom" (although I have absolutely nothing against free beer!) since I converted to the FOSS side. Again, with what's being touted these days as "open source" not being so — or defined in a kind of "1984" doublespeak — and when even the OSI is having a hard time redefining what "open source" is, then clearly it was time for a name change.
RMS . . .SF . . OK?: Richard Stallman does a series of talks in Northern California this week: Stanford on Monday (Sept. 10), San Jose State on Tuesday (the 11th), Berkeley on Wednesday (the 12th) and the University of San Francisco (a block from where I used to live when I first moved to San Francisco) on Thursday (the 13th). The Berkeley event may need an RSVP, but the others are free — as in freedom and free beer. A schedule is available from the Free Software Foundation — click on the day of the week for the event time and location.
Hello, Columbus: For those of you Buckeyes (and those of you in the neighboring states) finding yourselves with free time on Saturday, Sept. 29, make your way to the Greater Columbus Convention Center for Ohio LinuxFest 2007. Fedora's Max Spevack and Bradley Kuhn, of the Software Freedom Law Center, are keynoting. From what I'm told, it looks like it is ramping up to be a good event — don't miss it.

Marist 4 X 800 Relay Breaks School Record For 3rd Time This Spring
By: Marist Athletics
PRINCETON, N.J. -- The Marist men's 3,200-meter relay team of junior Chris Vanzetta (Latham, N.Y.), freshman David Marthy (Latham, N.Y.), junior Matt Panebianco (Tappan, N.Y.) and senior Kyle Havard (Atlantic Highlands, N.Y.) broke the school record for the third time this season at Saturday's IC4A Championships.
The quartet ran a time of 7:40.65, a full second better than its mark of 7:41.68 at April's Bison Outdoor Classic, which had topped a time of 7:48.55 at the Fred Hardy Invitational in March.
Vanzetta led off with a 1:54.9 split, followed by Marthy at 1:54.7, Panebianco in 1:56.5, and Havard - competing in his final race - in 1:54.6.
The team placed 13th overall.

Five-store Phoenix retailer Razmataz closing
October 5, 2012,
PHOENIX — Razmataz Unique Home Furnishings is closing its five stores in the Phoenix area and Tucson, Ariz., and its Phoenix distribution center.
The company, owned by Raj Dogra and Nancy Dogra, opened in Phoenix in 1996 and is known for its unusual offering of high-end and luxurious home furnishings from around the world at discounted prices and displayed in a no-frills environment.
At its peak in 2006, Razmataz operated seven stores and did more than $20 million in sales, he said. Today, it operates five showrooms in the 12,000- to 15,000-square-foot range and a 25,000-square-foot distribution center.
The company hired Denver-based SPCI Cos. to help with the liquidation, which began in September and is expected to wrap up by the end of the year, Bates said. Among the retailer's furniture suppliers are Bernhardt, Rachlin Classics, Universal, Clearwater, Hooker and Aspenhome. That's in addition to the imported goods the retailer often brings in from Peru, Indonesia, Europe and other world markets.
Razmataz and SPCI will liquidate all of its inventory as well as operational equipment, according to a release. Bates declined to say how much revenue the sale is expected to generate.

Seven Spiritual Habits to Set During Pregnancy

PARIS – Representatives of Fukushima Prefecture pledged to achieve reconstruction from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami and the subsequent nuclear crisis at an event in Paris on Monday.
At the event, held to provide updates on the progress of disaster reconstruction, senior Fukushima officials and local businessmen expressed their appreciation for French assistance in the reconstruction efforts and underlined the safety of food products from the prefecture.
Terunori Igarashi, head of the prefectural government's tourism exchange bureau, explained how Fukushima agricultural products are checked for radioactive contamination.
He also gave a presentation about tourist spots, including Tsurugajo Castle in Aizuwakamatsu, the setting for an NHK historical drama produced last year.
"However difficult the situation is, Fukushima will come back," Igarashi said.
Six students from Tomioka High School took part in the event. They have been forced to evacuate because the school is located in the exclusion zone surrounding Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.
Hiroto Takahashi, 17, introduced the activities of the school's soccer club, which participated in a national tournament.
"I'm proud of being a student of Tomioka High School and enjoying my school life," he said.
The event was held on the sidelines of an international exhibition of furniture held in a Paris suburb in which 28 companies from Fukushima participated.
Railway stretch to reopen
Morioka, Iwate Pref.
Sanriku Railway Co. said it will fully resume services on its two railway lines in Iwate Prefecture in April, three years after the devastating March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Full recovery will be achieved with the resumption of service on a 15-km stretch between Yoshihama and Kamaishi stations on the Minami Riasu Line on April 5, and a 10.5-km stretch between Omoto and Tanohata stations on the Kita Riasu Line the next day.
After the tsunami washed away 5.8 km of the 108 km of track on the two lines, service has been restored gradually at a cost of ¥9.2 billion, including financial aid from the central government.
"We appreciate very much the support we received from across Japan," Sanriku Railway President Masahiko Mochizuki said Monday at a news conference at the Iwate Prefectural Government office in Morioka.
Sanriku Railway has also purchased five new train cars with financial aid from the government of Kuwait.

Art can be made from absolutely anything. Children intuitively
know this-think lipstick portraits on the living room wall. Adults
seem to forget that art can have humble beginnings.
Before you buy expensive art supplies, see what you can find at
home. Your recycling bin is a fabulous (and cost effective)
resource for craft materials. Plus, using recycled items is a
wonderful way to stretch your child's imagination and creativity,
while also teaching him to live a little "greener." Next time you
are about to toss something into the recycling bin, ask yourself,
"Could we use this to make something fun or interesting?"
Real snakes probably are not your favorite animal, but
these super cute (and super simple) coiled cardboard snakes are
easy to love. This project is a great example of how just a few
really basic, simple craft supplies can be transformed into a
creative and fun activity for the preschool and toddler

Dubrovnik in Spring
Five Valamar hotels allow you too choose the type of stay you wish to enjoy at this time of year – a spa break, a gourmet dining experience or a romantic getaway with panoramic views from the bar terrace. For most visiting in spring, it might not be warm enough to swim in the sea but you can relax in short sleeves with a glass of wine and colour your cheeks as you gaze over the Adriatic. It should also be easy to find a table and find room on the main street to take a Stradun selfie. Although Dubrovnik is gearing itself more and more to being a year-round destination, the crowds don't start flocking here until July. You'll be able to admire the historic façades of the Ragusa Republic without having other pedestrians hinder your view. This timeless, photogenic backdrop has not been lost on leading international filmmakers, who have recently chosen Dubrovnik as the ideal location for episodes of hit TV show 'Game of Thrones' and the eighth in the series of 'Star Wars' movies. Dubrovnik has always held a great attraction for Hollywood, whose stars flock here for pretty much the same reasons that you do. It's gorgeous, it's romantic, it's atmospheric and it's relaxing. While a movie might hire their own helicopter, to take it all in from the air you can zoom up the side of Mount Srđ in the bright orange cable car, with extraordinary views of city and sea unfolding as it climbs. Back down below, you'll see most activity around the Old Port and Gundulićeva poljana, site of the
Things to do in Dubrovnik's Old Town
Almost everything worth seeing is centred on the compact, crowded Old Town. To get the best view, and one of a stupendously clear, blue Adriatic lapping the rocks below and stretching way beyond, embark on a stroll round the city walls. Audio-guides are available at the main entrance inside the Pile Gate to the left. An hour should suffice but take as long as you like. You'll spend the bulk of your time within the 15th-century ring of fortifications, in the small square half-mile of gleaming medieval space bisected by 300-metre-long Stradun. As you flit between the main gates of Pile and Ploče, guided by the list of places on the maroon flags, each venue with its own logoed white lamp, barkers on every side-street corner call you up to the bland tourist restaurants on Prijeko. Cats scatter in from the old harbour, a cacophony of tour guides give their spiels. All is free of traffic until you reach the bus-choked hub outside the Pile Gate. Beyond, over the drawbridge, stand the Lovrijenac Fortress, used for productions of Shakespeare classics during the Summer Festival and the permanently busy main road to the ferry port at Gruž, and Lapad. Exiting the Old Town via the Ploče Gate takes you past the attractive old harbour, where taxi boats set off for the nearby island of Lokrum. Beyond the gate stretches Banje beach then a string of luxury hotels. Back inside the city walls is the main square and crossing point of Luža, where you'll find the landmark astronomical clock tow
Ten great free things to do in Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik, Croatia's most photographed city, welcomes armies of tourists every day. It follows that entrance fees have a habit of cropping up and emptying your pockets when you least expect it - you won't be able to walk the famous city walls without spending 120 kuna, and most attractions will have you parting with a handful of coins. While you'll probably conclude that these inimitable sights are worth every penny, you can easily give the spending a break - Dubrovnik's free attractions are some of its finest. Here are ten wonderful free things to do. RECOMMENDED: more great things to do in Dubrovnik.
The best Dubrovnik beaches
Dubrovnik beaches have a quiet kind of beauty - most attract a local crowd of sunbathers, who tend to stay loyal to their favourite beach. Some are defined by their lively arcades of cafes and bars, while others are hushed half-moon bays which you'll feel lucky to have discovered. If you're looking to enjoy Dubrovnik's beaches through a little adventuring, outdoor adventure firm Adriatic Kayak Tours (Zrinsko-Frankopanska 6) offer sea-kayaking jaunts to Lokrum and the Elafiti islands, white-water rafting in Montenegro's Tara River Canyon, mountain biking in Konavle, and winter sea kayaking in the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro. Diving is also popular. Clubs such as Blue Planet Diving (Hotel Dubrovnik Palace, Masarykov put 20) and Navis Underwater Explorers (Copacabana beach) offer both trips and a range of different diving courses for all levels and ages. RECOMMENDED: more great things to do in Dubrovnik.
Game of Thrones guide to Croatia
There can't be many visitors to Croatia who are still not aware that the Dalmatian city of Dubrovnik is a key location in HBO's obscenely popular fantasy series 'Game Of Thrones'. What might be less apparent to those other than committed Throne-heads however is the extent to which the series seems to be taking over the rest of Dalmatia too. Locations around Split lent several new dimensions to season four; by season five the filming had extended as far as the central Dalmatian town of Šibenik. And there's no shortage of potential locations around the history-scarred Adriatic. Where the cast will end up next is anybody's guess. The remorseless season-by-season growth of 'Game Of Thrones' from geeky cult to global obsession has already had a huge impact on visitor numbers in Dubrovnik. The Throne-tour phenomenon looks set to go Adriatic-wide in 2016. What follows is a guide to the most iconic Croatian locations used in the series so far – many of which are hugely rewarding destinations in their own right. Dubrovnik has served as the location for the fantasy city of King's Landing ever since the shooting of series two, when it replaced Malta as the preferred backdrop for the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. The look of the walled city has clearly imprinted itself on the fictional King's Landing, however many cosmetic changes the set builders may have made. It is now difficult to think of 'Game Of Thrones' at all without visions of Dubrovnik springing immediately to mind. D

The best Dubrovnik restaurants
Dubrovnik restaurants are beginning to offer the culinary quality and variety that should be expected of such a luxury destination. And dining in Dubrovnik needn't cost an arm and a leg: many places offers simple, wholesome dishes at wallet-friendly prices.
20 great things to do in Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is a one-town tourist industry on its own, with endless things to do all year round. As stunning as the clear blue sea around it, the former centre of the independent Republic of Ragusa invites superlatives and attracts the lion's share of Croatia's visitors. Read on for our insider's guide to the best things to do in Dubrovnik.
Dubrovnik shopping guide
The Dubrovnik shopping arena is, thankfully, starting to be less dominated by the overpriced tourist shops that once dominated the city, and a few key stores are holding out against these tacky souvenir shops that line the main street of Stradun. Time Out discovers the best places to go shopping in Dubrovnik, from designer boutiques to open-air markets.
The best Dubrovnik bars
By day, Dubrovnik and its overcrowded Old Town seem the perfect place for sandal-wearing coffee-sippers. But by night, Dubrovnik bars spring to life, with a number of atmospheric spots serving up anything from fine Dalmatian wines to fancy cocktails. Dip in to our essential drinking guide.
The best restaurants in Dubrovnik
This superbly located newbie sits by the entrance of Buža II, and quickly went to number one on TripAdvisor in its very first season. Here you can tuck into a reasonably priced, Med-and-Asian-influenced main here – fragrant meatballs in a chicken-coconut broth, perhaps, or Adriatic prawn pouches on grilled aubergine in a red-curry-and-coconut sauce – before an afternoon's sunbathing or nightcap overlooking the waves. Starters include mussels in beer butter and chili, and Dalmatian tom yum soup.
Fish restaurant Proto
The seafood-oriented Proto claims a tradition dating back to 1886. and it was here that Edward VIII entertained Wallis Simpson in the 1930s. As well as squid and lobster in simple, superbly balanced sauces, there's fresh shellfish from Ston up the coast. You can spend an enjoyable hour over the fish platter for two, and the extensive wine list covers just about every quality wine that Croatia has to offer. Recently refurbished and relaunched, Proto has been tastefully modernised, but keeps in with the antiquated elegance of the building. Beautiful old maps and antique oak paneling nod sympathetically to its past. The look is sealed with words of scribes: choice verses from local Dalmatian poets adorn the ceiling. Booking essential.
Dubrovnik's most prestigious culinary spot offers two panoramic terraces of starched white-tablecloth formality. Chef Mario Bunda insists on fresh, locally-sourced ingredients – shellfish feature in dishes from the Elafiti isles such as Lopud brodet with polenta and Šipan fisherman's carpaccio, or there are lobster medallions from Vis. Diners can also opt between three kinds of menu.
Konoba Dalmatino
For traditional food, served with finesse, and with a reasonable price tag, Dalmatino takes some beating. It's located in an old house that has been renovated to show the original stonework at its exposed best. The menu is as straightforwardly Dalmatian as the name of the restaurant, featuring plenty of local fish and fowl, although a lot of creativity has gone into the details – grilled fish might be served with a colour-coordinated array of Mediterranean vegetables instead of the usual blitva. A lot of effort goes into the desserts – for some, it's the Dalmatino cheesecake that deserves the superlatives; others swear by the chocolate mousse. The place is run by a South African of Korčulan descent, so it's no surprise that the wine list veers enthusiastically towards the fine whites from that island.
Set within the great walls of Dubrovnik with impressive views over the port, 360º effortlessly blends its historical setting with a progressive, forward-thinking menu. New head-chef Marijo Curić has created a decent set of Mediterranean-spanning dishes, where the emphasis is very much on well sourced, well presented food influenced by local history and Adriatic flavours. The menu changes constantly but 360º is particularly skilled with seafood, modern Mediterranean.dishes and innovations of Croatian classics. This is upscale, sophisticated dining at its best. Without being too stuffy or formal, they pride themselves on providing a casual vibe where creative cuisine takes centre stage. Matched by an extensive wine cellar, great service and a truly superlative location, the recently relaunched 360º remains one of the hottest tables in town.
Where to drink in Dubrovnik
Banje Beach restaurant, lounge & club
Occupying a lovely beachside location, guests travel by land and sea to get to Banje – there's even a private pier to anchor your dingy, boat or yacht. During the day, this is a superb, seafood-orientated restaurant with a decent repertoire of Dalmatian and Mediterrean dishes. By night, Banje transforms into a clubby beachside cocktail bar. The clientele is chic – it's hired for fashion parties – but the place is far from intimidating and prices are reasonable.
Buža II
The more well known of the cliff-face bars; tourists follow the 'Cold Drinks' sign from the open square of Rudjera Boškovića. Prices are a little steeper but you get a thatched roof and table service. Buža II also the same jaw-dropping view – if you can find a table in high season.
Old film and beer ads brighten the space; posters promote long-forgottten Olympics and pool-table lightshades of coloured glass advertise Coors beer. Cocktails come in creamy or killer varieties, football or music videos are screened and staff buzz about in daft blue shirts with some bullshit motto on them. Recommended.
Sunset Lounge
The titular sunset view is in full panorama here in the chic surroundings of the five-star Hotel Dubrovnik Palace. On a clear day you can see Mljet. Afternoons mean happy-hour drinks, evenings a piano player. Cocktails (60kn) comprise 35 standards, there are specialist Perković brandies (carob, fig, nut) and wines run from a basic 20kn to the best local labels rarely found by the glass.
Opened in 2008, Dubrovnik's first real wine bar is presided over by Australian-Croatian Sasha and his friendly and informative team. D'Vino manages to stock more than 100 varieties, 76 available by the glass. Every decent Istrian, Slavonian and Dalmatian label is here, including Grgić Plavac Mali and Zlatan Plavac. The house wine begins at 25kn and the venue lays on wine tours. Savoury meat-and-cheese platters are tailor-made to complement the wine. It's a comfortable, modern, intimate space to enjoy a drink – with a few seats outside in summer.
Best attractions in Dubrovnik
Rector's Palace
The most historic monument in Dubrovnik, the Rector's Palace was rebuilt twice. The first, by Onofrio della Cava of fountain fame, was in Venetian-Gothic style, visible in the window design once you ascend the grand staircase to the Rector's living quarters. Thereafter Florentine Michelozzo Michelozzi was responsible for the loggia façade. On the ground floor, either side of a courtyard, are the prison and courtrooms of the Ragusa Republic, and a glittering display of medieval church art. Upstairs, where each Rector resided for his month's stint, is a strange assortment of items: sedan chairs, carriages, magistrates' robes and wigs, portraits of local notables and Ivo Rudenjak's beautifully carved bookcase. One curiosity is the clocks, some set at quarter to six, the time in the evening when Napoleon's troops entered in 1806. The same ticket is valid for the Archeological Collection, a small but attractive collection of medieval carvings as the Rector's Palace) right by Ploče gate.
Sponza Palace
The attractive, 16th-century former customs house and Ragusa mint is used to house the extensive state archives. Several rooms off the arcaded groundfloor courtyard are used to display photocopies of the archives' most treasured historical documents. A small room opposite the ticket office holds the Memorial Room of the Dubrovnik Defenders. Covering the 12 months from October 1991 (although keen to point out that isolated attacks continued until the summer of 1995), the exhibition contains portraits of the 300 defenders and civilians who died during the siege and the tattered remnant of the Croatian flag that flew atop strategic Mount Srđ.
City Walls
The first thing any visitor should fork out for is entrance up to the City Walls. The main one is by the Pile Gate. Arrowed up towards the Adriatic side, you're soon scaling staircases to allow you a sublime view of the blue, blue sea to one side and people's red-tiled roofs, terraces and washing lines to the other. There are a couple of cafes towards the harbour end, where you turn and head towards the thicker, inland-facing walls. You can also choose to head out here, near the Old Port. As well as giving you a perspective on Dubrovnik, you can see how intricate a job this was. Remember to pack a hat and sun cream.
Dominican Monastery
Between the Sponza Palace and the Ploče Gate, this monastery is best known for its late Gothic cloisters and late 15th-century paintings of the Dubrovnik School in the museum – in particular masterpieces by Nikola Božidarević, including his Our Lady with the Saints. On the walls of the monastery church are a beautiful wooden crucifix by Paolo Veneziano from 1358 and a painting by renowned fin-de-siècle artist Vlaho Bukovac from Cavtat, The Miracle of St Dominic.
The best hotels in Dubrovnik
Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik
For once the slogan is right: this is indulgence on a grand scale. Here in lush Babin kuk is a state-of-the-art hotel with the Ragusa spa and its dizzying array of treatments (free with a minimum fournight stay), pools indoor and out (and separate kids' pool), fine dining Langosto luxury restaurant, cocktails in four bars – plus, of course, the guest rooms, 385 in all, plus 16 suites. There are also any number of conference facilities.
Valamar Dubrovnik President Hotel
This leading lodging of the Valamar group has its own excellent section of beach; each of the 181 rooms has a balcony view of the sea and Elafiti islands beyond. There's also an indoor pool, children's entertainment and access to good-quality nearby tennis courts. Extensive works will see the President become a well-deserved 5-star in time for the 2014 season.
Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera Hotel
The superlative hotel chain Sheraton have added another top hotel to thier portfolio. Just a few minutes' drive from the bustling town centre, this 240-room and 11-suite resort is elegant, calm and spacious.
Hotel Bellevue
Dubrovnik has more than its fair share of cliff-hugging, sun-trap hotels and this particular feat of engineering is one of the more outstanding examples. The venue, cut into the cliff facing the sea, has been expensively refurbished to feature local woods and granite. All rooms have a sea view, as do the spa and highly rated Vapor restaurant. The Nevera Beach restaurant occupies a man-made cave right beside the private beach.
Hotel Dubrovnik Palace
This ten-floor, 308-room luxury hotel reconfigured in 2004 was conceived in 1972, set in woodland paths at the tip of Lapad, in full view of the Elafiti isles. Today this is what everyone sees from their balcony, from the four bars, three restaurants, four pools and gym. Saunas, massage treatments and beauty procedures are on offer at the energy clinic spa. Also of note are the Lanterna Glorijet poolside bar and the Sunset Lounge cocktail bar.

Nice piece! I've got one, with the shorter magazine. Great shotgun but the length of pull is a bit long for me, I'm switching to a Knoxx stock before we qualify again.
A deputy I know also has one and has the bayonet too. We were qualifying with them a couple of years ago and he tried shooting it with the bayonet in place. It didn't work, the bayonet popped off with the first shot and landed a couple of feet in front of him.
Very nice, I think it will serve you well.

Great weapons! Got one myself, but it's got the heat shield and the speedfeed stock instead of the ghost ring sights. I wonder why they haven't made a version with all of the extras yet?
2 Things:
1. You may need to buy a replacement magazine spring, I'd recommend Wolff if you do. Some of our 590's have had an issue with the Mossberg spring and have needed to be replaced. Mine ran me $8 including shipping from Brownells.
2. If you really want a bayonet, the M-7 will also fit the lug, and can be had for less than $20 for a brand new one. It's dagger style, not bowie style, but it still works fine.

Connecticut Senior Juried Art Show at Pomperaug Woods Accepting Submissions Through 6/27
The Connecticut Senior Juried Art Show at Pomperaug Woods, Southbury's only not-for-profit retirement community, invites senior artists to participate in the seventh annual Connecticut Senior Juried Art Show, September 27-28. Entry forms with a photo of original artwork are due by June 27, 2014. The highly anticipated event showcases the work of talented Connecticut artists who are 70+ years of age. Themed "The Art of Experience," the show will include paintings, drawings, sculptures and photography - all created after the artists' 70th birthday.
"We invite all of Connecticut's senior artists to participate in our juried art show," says Lisa Huebenthal, Program Director for Pomperaug Woods. "Any artwork created after the artist's 70th birthday, even if it was created years ago, is welcome for submission."
Art Show Entry Forms & Photograph Due June 27, 2014
Applicants should send entry forms, along with photographs of their original work (painting, drawing, sculpture or photography) by June 27, 2014. Entrants may submit up to three pieces. Artists chosen to participate in the show will be notified by July 31, 2014. General information, rules and entry form are available at http://pomperaugwoods.com/connecticut-senior-juried-art-show/.
To celebrate the art show's seventh anniversary, first-place winners in each of the four categories will receive cash prizes. There will also be a $250 cash prize and a crystal trophy in the shape of an artist's palette awarded to the winner of the "Tommie Davis Award." The Tommie Davis Award is presented to a Connecticut artist who demonstrates feelings of beauty and life in their artwork. Tommie Davis was a multitalented artist who not only was an award-winning photographer, but a gifted painter and sculptress. Tommie was a resident at Pomperaug Woods for many years and was very involved in the Annual Connecticut Senior Juried Art Show. Pomperaug Woods, as the host of this annual juried show, is able to present the award in Tommie's memory because of her generous donation, earmarked for the arts, to the Founder's Fund at Pomperaug Woods.

700-R4 and Chevy 10-bolt strength question
Hi there,
I have a '72 Chevelle and I was questioning the wisdom in building up the 10-bolt that came with it to use with a 427 big block and a 700-r4 tranny. Some say that neither the 700-R4 nor the 10-bolt will survive the torque. I am building up the engine so I can do some unofficial dragracing here and there. According to Desktop Dyno, my engine will make 800 HP and 600 ft-lbs. Now, I realize this is probably quite optimisitc, but for the sake of argument, let's say its correct.
Are the C-clips the only thing that make the rear end so weak? I have Richmond 3.73 gears with a Auburn locker. The 700-R4 was built reasonably tough (I think) by a local reputable transmission rebuilder (he used a Corvette servo and a couple other things to "beef" it up). Since I already bought the new posi and gears, then I would like to keep the 10-bolt and use C-clip eliminators to make it last. Also, since I already have the 700-R4, I'd like to keep it (since those things are frickin expensive) and use it. However, I am willing to use both of these parts on another project and go with a Ford 9" and TH-400 if I can be convinced that there is no way to make my present parts strong enough. I'm pretty sure I've heard of drag racers using both of these parts effectively - what's their secret?
Thanks for any advice/info you can offer,
I think Desktop Dyno skipped a bit somewhere in the computation unless you have some very nasty parts in/on the motor.
If you are over 500 lbs. ft. torque go with the 400 and the 9 inch. The 700 won't live long nor will the rear end.

10- bolts don't have c-clips the 12-bolts have c-clips, unless severly abused your 10-bolt might surprise you , I have 428 HO motor 4-speed 3:55
limited slip and a it's been great, this is my 2nd
rear-end I sheared the ring and pinion on first.
Don't miss a gear! I missed 3rd, put it in 1st and
about went out my windshield after eating my steering wheel.My fault, I wouldn't expect any
rear-end to hold up to that one. 5500 rpm's about
75 mph to 1st gear in a 3550 lb. car
Hey guys,
Thanks for the input thus far. I've been getting mixed signals though, so I'm still kind of at square one. My personal thoughts (of which I'm trying to stay in denial) is that in time, the 10-bolt will break before a 9" would. And the same with the 700-R4. But the whole overdrive thing would be soooo nice so I can cruise on the highway without having to wind up the engine so much.
AutoReWire: I also think Desktop Dyno was pretty optimistic, but here were the main components of my engine-to-be: AFR 357cc CNC heads (with 114cc chambers), 9.7 compression, tunnel-ram manifold, 1090cfm King Demon carb, large tube headers, and a Lunati 50213 nitrous roller cam. The Desktop Dyno simulation did not include nitrous. And also, something that is kind of misleading is that the peak horsepower was 807, but at 8,500 RPM. This is quite a bit higher than I think I'll be revving a 427. But even at 6,500, it showed 736 HP at the flywheel and its peak torque was 604 ft-lbs at 6,000 RPM. Once again, I realize this i probably quite optimistic, but it's fun to pretend aint it?
Pontiacman: Are you sure GM 10-bolts don't have C-clips? My axels sure had grooves for them. And also, there seem to be manufacturers who make C-clip eliminator kits for 10-bolts (like at http://www.reiderracing.com/ccilp.htm ). Also, what tranny were using when you missed 3rd? A Muncie? That's pretty impressive that the tranny could also take the force of a 3550-lb car going 75MPH. If my calculations are right, that's...um...a whole lot of torque that your tranny absorbed.
Any additional feedback would be much appreciated. Especially info on where the specific weaknesses are in the 700-R4 and the 10-bolt along with solutions to make those parts stronger.
the 700-r4 tahs some what of a tarnished reputation, which is fair as teh early ones were worse than junk. but a propperly prepaired 700 will take all kinds of abuse, i have one with corvette servo and other goodies in my 66 impala and i am running a 454, LS-6, now mind you i have half the horsepower but it´s a 4000 lbs car with 3.36 gears and i am not being nice to it...
so i hear you with the overdrive. id say stick with it and aslong as you are not shifting in and out of overdrive constantly i say it will live just fine
although just fine with an 800 hp motor means a rebuild about every, to every other year. if you use the car regularly and in stoplights and so
actually a friend of mine have been driveing his 35 inch wheel, 6.5L turbodiesel 4x4 suburban every day for two years with a 700-r4 from the same builder that i use.
and if the tranny can take that, then it can also take your engine..
also you can rebuild your tranny severaltimes over for tha cost of a new 4L-80E preformance tranny with computer.

I use a dt once a week. I just add oils and honey to gvpcb. If you have a conditioner you like that does not irritate you, you can just add oils and honey to it to make it more moisturizing.
As for curl keeper, it can give me stringy curls, but I scrunch out water with a microfiber towel before applying curl keeper, which keeps it from getting stringy.
I have found oils to be disastrous in my hair, unless they are added into some other product. They give me very stringy curls. How do you add them?
Also, oils do Weigh my hair down. I think this is because it traps the water underneath it, which in turn weighs down my hair, and makes it take even longer to dry.
You may want to try a mousse or a foam for styling. Mousses don't work for me, but the DevaCurl volumizing foam works really well. It does not weigh my hair down at all.
You could try skipping the oil, scrunching out water then adding a little bit of product. I think it is mostly about experimenting.
Also, since you have fine/medium hair, you could try a protein treatment. These perk up my curls and cut back on frizz, which allows me to use way less product.
