text: It appears that I'll have to replace the door striker bolts on my '89 burb. The plastic bushings are breaking due to age and abuse and the bolts are deformed due to misalignment. I'd like to know if anyone else has done this and if they have tips or techniques to share. Does the striker fit into a fixed nut in the "B" & "C" pillars or will I have to remove the interior trim to access them. Any advice will be appreciated

Not just a creeper anymore
My background seems to be quite different than many of the people on this forum. I started digging ditches for a utility company and moved into electrical control systems. This naturally led into SCADA system operation and maintenance. After seeing how vulnerable SCADA systems are (though I really knew to what extent at the time) I started learning about cyber / network / system (whatever the proper term is) security. Now my interest has really turned to pentesting. And that's why I'm here.
Now I just need to make a pretty signature like everyone else and start playing with the other kids.

CPJ welcomes release of Puntland journalist
New York, November 8, 2010--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the presidential pardon and release today of radio journalist Abdifatah Jama, who was imprisoned in August for airing an interview with an Islamist rebel leader in the semi-autonomous region of Puntland. CPJ had repeatedly called for his release.
Jama, deputy director of Horseed Media, had begun serving a six-year prison sentence after being convicted on treason charges in a closed-door trial. Jama had appealed the ruling, which was based on his authorization of an interview with Sheikh Mohamed Said Atom, who has waged a guerrilla war against the Puntland administration since 2005.

Story highlights
- Traveling the Bahamas by mail boat is cheap. Tickets for individual voyages cost $50 to $65
- On humid nights you can sleep on deck, cooled by sea breezes beneath galaxies of stars
- The boats are a lifeline for some among Bahamanian islands that are too small to receive air freight
At Nassau's Potter's Cay Dock, fresh conch is heaped on tables for sale by the pound.
The quayside is chaotic with pallets of food and household goods being hauled into the mail boats.
Mail boats are the life-support system of the Bahamas -- an archipelago of 700 scattered islands in the Atlantic.
Some 14 to 18 mail boats operate out of Nassau; no one seems sure how many.
They serve communities, such as Ragged Island (population 73), that are too remote or small to receive sufficient airfreight.
The vessels are privately owned family concerns that supplement government-awarded mail contracts by running cargo.
They also take on board paying passengers.
Fares are cheap -- individual voyages range from $50 to $65 per ride.
Prone to delays
The shared cabins are basic and cramped and schedules are prone to delays because of adverse sea conditions.
The longest voyage runs from Potter's Cay to Inagua, some 37 to 42 hours at sea.
"'Lady D' makes that journey," says assistant dock master Craig Curtis at Potter's Cay. "She's supposed to leave Tuesdays, but that can stretch to the weekend."
Despite their unpredictability, mail boats offer an adventurous, authentic travel experience away from the Bahamas' well developed beach resort scene.
Voyages are an opportunity to meet island characters.
The "Grandmaster" leaves the dock at Potter's Cay for a 14-hour voyage bound for Georgetown on Grand Exuma.
She traverses 365 coral islands down the Exuma chain -- some are owned by celebrities such as Johnny Depp; others offer $40,000-per-night villa rentals.
The turquoise sea beneath the keel is so transparent stingrays can be seen gliding across shallow sandbanks.
Galaxies of stars
During humid nights it's possible to sleep on deck, cooled by sea breezes beneath galaxies of stars.
In his 70s, retired mail boat captain Larry Brozozog has passed the task of piloting "Grandmaster" to his son, Lance, giving him time to talk to passengers about the origin of the mail boats.
"They were running in the 1940s but only one mail boat would serve all southern Bahamas monthly," he says.
"The government began issuing mail contracts in the late Fifties, then services became weekly."
Brozozog says he was born into shipping.
"My great grandfather used to sail back and forth to the UK in the late 1800s."
Older islanders nostalgically recall the mail boats before the advent of inter-island flights by small aircraft.
Growing up in the 1960s on Andros -- an island to the west of New Providence, where the capital, Nassau, sits -- Petherina Harris says each mail boat arrival was eagerly awaited.
"We didn't have electricity back then so we'd take the mail boat to Nassau to see electric lights in people's homes and eat Kentucky Fried," she says.
Julius Chisholm from Acklins, several hundred kilometers to the southeast of Nassau, remembers the whole island turning out whenever the mail boat came in.
"If it arrived on a Sunday, even church was canceled."
Ernest Hemingway's boxing lessons
Bimini, which lies two-thirds of the way from Nassau to Miami, is another island served by the mail boats.
Fish-wrestling novelist Ernest Hemingway spent time there in the 1930s -- many on the island still tell of his exploits.
"He taught Biminites how to box," says Ansil Saunders, an 82-year-old boatwright.
"Hemingway offered 10 bucks to anybody who could last a round with him."
Captain Sean Munroe's navy blue hulled "Sherice M," built in Louisiana in 1995, serves the Bimini Islands.
Munroe says tough economic times have cast doubt over the future of his and other mail boat services.
Fuel price increases have already brought a reduction of mail runs to Bimini from four to three times monthly.
"Fuel costs have risen so much it's wiped out our profit from the mail contract, so we rely on private cargo" he says.
"But continuing to serve the island community and maintaining the legacy of our family business is just as important to us as the economics."
Munroe hails from seafaring stock.
His grandfather ran supplies to Cuba before the U.S. embargo was imposed in the 1960s.
That family dynasty stretches to the "Island Link," a vessel skippered by Munroe's brother, Jed.
Runaway pigs
I join Jed on his weekly trip across the Tropic of Cancer to Long Island, which lies to the southeast of Nassau.
Our voyage takes 20 hours instead of the scheduled 14 because Munroe has to navigate over shallows to ride out a Caribbean storm.
Fellow passengers include a mother and daughter economizing on airfares that would be twice the $50 ticket price, and a Rastafarian looking for any work he can get.
"We carry everything and anything," says Munroe.
"Food items, luxury goods, machine parts ... anything. We transported pigs once, but one broke free mid-voyage and caused havoc on the deck."
Eventually we arrive at Long Island, where visitors are drawn by ribbons of pristine sandy beaches and Deans Blue Hole, a 202-meter (663-foot) vertical abyss that's the deepest of its kind in the world.
But first stop is Simms Wharf, where an enthusiastic crowd awaits their cargo.
Among them is Mandie Constantitis, the son of a Greek immigrant, who is Long Island's last sponge fisherman.
He depends on the mail boats to ship his consignments to Nassau for export.
Dewitt Miller, a taxi driver, tells me that before the mail boat arrives each Wednesday the whole island is almost out of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Later I make the return voyage to Nassau.
Back at Potter's Cay, I meet Captain Kevin Moxey, loading up his family namesake boat, "Captain Moxey," to make the trip to Andros.
As he watches potted palms bound for a resort being manhandled onto his deck, Moxey says his business is feeling the economic strain.
But he remains confident the diminutive size of the islands will mean the mail boats will never be replaced by large freight airplanes.
"Sure, we're pinching the pennies -- but mail boats will never go away," he says.

Megan and Murray McMillan's videos unfold with dream logic. A man walks up into a bright, heavenly whiteness. A woman climbs into a giant model of her head. A guy slides under a floor. Rooms are filled entirely with lamps or giant lilies. Everything feels deliberate and concrete, but the reasoning behind the astonishing visions is elusive.
In the Pawtucket couple's new video installation, When We Didn't Touch the Ground — the centerpiece of what might be considered their first (mini) retrospective at Brown University's Granoff Center (154 Angell Street, Providence, through May 16) — a man climbs down from stacks of boxed-up furniture in an old mill building, picks up two sandbags, and slowly steps along a row of mirrored pyramids. Reaching the front, he sets the sandbags on a pile already begun there to create a low wall. (A barrier against flooding?) Then he joins a group of people having a dinner party in the left foreground. Meanwhile, a room-sized box, with a woman lying in a hammock inside, is mechanically winched to the ceiling at the back of the room and glides forward. When the box comes to rest just behind the table, the woman gets up, kicks a streamer of fabric down a hole in the box's floor, slides down it like a circus aerialist, and joins the group at the table.
The video projection fills the gallery's end wall. In the room with us are some mirrored pyramids and a row of boxed-up tables, dressers, and cabinets, as if the video's world is merging with our world.
Viewers might want to assemble the elements — stacked furniture, mountaineering, levies, hammocks, acrobatics, dinner party — into a narrative, but the McMillans' videos seem to be more about atmosphere and tableaus. Things don't coalesce; rather, one wondrous, inexplicable thing just happens after another.
"We think of our work having a relationship to dance and also having a relationship to poetry," Murray tells me. "We're interested in mood, metaphor, the kind of economy that poetry works with," Megan says. "We're not interested in direct translation . . . We like associative connections."
The McMillans met and began dating in high school in Dallas. He attended college in Kansas City and Austin; she left for college in Missouri, California, and Boston. They married in 1997, spent five years in Los Angeles (making art as well as blogging about exhibitions), a year in St. Louis, and then moved to Rhode Island in 2007 for work. He now teaches at Roger Williams University; she teaches at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
They've collaborated since 2002, initially on live performances and since 2006 behind cameras shooting videos with as many as a dozen performers, builders, and camera people. Their projects are among the biggest, most ambitious art being made in the region — the scale of things you see regularly in Los Angeles galleries, but rarely here. Their work has flourished in Rhode Island's surplus of large, affordable mill spaces, rented for a month or so at a time. Their videos often have the feel of performances — usually single, brief takes of people doing real things without camera magic.

Zero tolerance, some of the time
Funny, funny stuff coming from Pittsburgh — a relief, actually, to see some other city's storied NFL franchise balls-deep in an ethical nightmare. It so happens that the Pittsburgh Steelers have of late been hit with a series of domestic-violence-type arrests, from a girl-hitting charge involving prized rookie wideout Santonio Holmes back in 2006, to a domestic-violence/child-endangerment arrest of reserve back Najeh Davenport late this past year, to standout linebacker James Harrison getting busted for slapping his girlfriend a few weeks back, to the latest: stone-handed wide receiver Cedric Wilson getting arrested for punching his girlfriend in the face in a restaurant a few days ago.
Holmes, Davenport, and Harrison are all key performers on the team. Wilson is not. So guess which player owner Dan Rooney decided to immediately cut following his arrest, saying, "The Steelers don't condone violence of any kind, especially against women"? Conversely, guess which three players Rooney decided to keep on his roster and give a second chance? I'll give you three guesses!
Yes, the player cut was the journeyman fourth-wideout Wilson — a player who immediately fell on the local-media sword after his arrest, apologizing to the girl, her family, the Steelers, their fans, the NFL, and all the nations of sub-Saharan Africa (okay, not that last part). Rooney severed ties the night of the arrest, booting Wilson from the team, solemnly telling reporters that he hoped his swift action would "send a message." Which it did, of course, the message being: don't hit a woman if you know the team can find a cheaper replacement for you in the fifth round of the draft.
But here's the kicker: when asked why he cut Wilson and not the pass-rushing demon Harrison, Rooney said that the circumstances were "completely different," noting that Harrison had been attempting to take his son to be baptized, a move his girlfriend apparently disagreed with. When Harrison's babymama locked herself in her room and called police, Harrison broke down the door, took her cell phone and ripped it in half, and then whacked her across the face, leaving the customary "red marks" on her cheek.
Now, according to Rooney, Harrison's actions were "completely different" because what he was trying to do — take his son to be baptized — was "something that was good" and "well worth it" (those are direct quotes). It is therefore okay to break down a door, break the phone a woman is using to call for help with, and belt her across the cheek — so long as your intent is to take your child to be baptized into the church of peace and understanding.
Folks, this is going to be fun, watching as Rooney is dragged to the hill at Golgotha by N.O.W. and pretty much every other advocate for fairness and decency. It's even funnier given that we know the baptism excuse is a canard, covering up the fact that the real reason Harrison was retained is that the dude can flat-out play. After seeing Bill Belichick take it up the dark place all year, it's finally someone else's turn. Take it like a man, Mr. Rooney. Take 30 points, too. And let's give Wilson and Harrison 55 points each for the dom-assault charges; actually let's give Harrison 60, since he's getting away with his.

Many of the adverse effects experienced by women on oral contraceptive combination products have been related to a relative excess or deficiency of the estrogen and progestin components of these formulations. The following categorizes many of the frequent adverse effects by relative excess or deficiency of these components.
Progestin Excess:
Acne, oily skin
Breast tenderness
Tiredness, fatigue
Hair loss
Increased appetite
Weight gain
Cholestatic jaundice
Progestin Deficiency:
Late breakthrough bleeding
Estrogen Excess:
Breast tenderness
Estrogen Deficiency:
Early/mid-cycle breakthrough bleeding
Increased spotting
General side effects have included exacerbations of systemic lupus erythematosus, porphyria, chorea, and a possible diminution in lactation when given immediately postpartum. Flu syndrome, tooth disorder, infection, accidental injury, and weight gain have been reported in postmarketing experience.[Ref]
A number of studies have suggested that use of oral contraceptives decreases the risk of ovarian cancer. Specifically, the risk of epithelial ovarian cancers is decreased by 40%. The protection against ovarian cancer may last for 10 to 15 years after discontinuation of oral contraceptives. After long term use (12 years), the risk of ovarian cancer is decreased by as much as 80%.
The risk of endometrial cancer is decreased by approximately 50%. Protection may last for 15 years after discontinuation and may be greatest for nulliparous women who may be at higher risk for endometrial carcinoma than other women.
The incidence of hospitalization for pelvic inflammatory disease is approximately 50% lower in women taking oral contraceptives. The reason for the decrease in the frequency (or severity) of pelvic inflammatory disease in women taking oral contraceptives has not been fully elucidated.
Some recent studies have suggested that the decrease in frequency of functional ovarian cysts reported with some older formulations may not occur in women taking newer low dose formulations.
One recent study (The Nurses' Health Study) has suggested that long term use of oral contraceptives is safe and does not adversely affect long term risk for mortality.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects of the estrogen component of this combination drug may be significant and have included hypertension. However, significant blood pressure increases generally occur only in women receiving high-dose estrogen products (50 mcg or more of ethinyl estradiol or equivalent daily). Estrogens have also been associated with edema. Other cardiovascular side effects have included aggravation of varicose veins.[Ref]
Some early investigations of women taking high dose estrogen combinations (50 mcg or more of ethinyl estradiol or equivalent daily) suggested that such women may be at increased risk of cardiovascular complications (myocardial infarction, stroke, and vascular thrombosis, including venous thromboembolism). However, more recent large investigations of women taking low dose estrogen combinations have suggested that oral contraceptive use is not associated with an increased risk of serious cardiovascular complications in healthy non smoking women up to the age of 45. (For women aged 35 to 44 who smoke or who have preexisting systemic diseases that may affect the cardiovascular system, use of oral contraceptives is not recommended.)
However, some investigators have suggested that even the new low dose products may result in adverse effects on lipid metabolism and should prompt careful review of a woman's cardiovascular risk factors before a decision to use oral contraceptive combinations is made.
The frequency of both subarachnoid hemorrhage and thrombotic stroke has been reported by some investigators to be higher in women taking oral contraceptive hormones. However, other investigators have suggested that the risk of these effects for women using newer low dose formulations are very small for young women without underlying cardiovascular disease or other risk factors.[Ref]
Endocrine and metabolic side effects have included complex alterations in plasma lipid profiles and carbohydrate metabolism. In addition, oral contraceptive use has been reported to cause conception delay.[Ref]
All the progestins which occur in commercially available oral contraceptive combinations have adverse effects on lipid profiles. Specifically, these progestins exert antiestrogen and androgen effects and decrease HDL (and HDL2) cholesterol levels and increase LDL cholesterol levels. However, the estrogens in oral contraceptive combinations exert opposing effects. Consequently, alterations in lipid profiles are related to the relative amount and potency of the specific estrogen and progestin in a given product.
A number of investigations have suggested that oral contraceptive combinations may decrease glucose tolerance. However, some recent studies with low dose preparations have suggested that decreases in glucose tolerance due to oral contraceptive combinations are generally minimal.
Despite the potentially adverse effects of oral contraceptives on lipid levels and glucose tolerance, some investigators have suggested that young diabetic women without existing vascular disease or severe lipidemias may be candidates for low dose oral contraceptive combinations provided that they receive close monitoring for adverse metabolic effects.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects have included nausea, which occurs in approximately 10% of treated women and may be more frequent during the first cycles of therapy. Some early reports suggested an association between oral contraceptive use and gallbladder disease. Abdominal pain and gastroenteritis have been reported in postmarketing experience.[Ref]
Cases of oral contraceptive-induced esophageal ulceration and geographic tongue have been reported rarely.
More recent studies have suggested that the risk of gallbladder disease is minimal.[Ref]
Oncologic side effects related to oral contraceptive use have been studied extensively. A number of studies have examined a possible relationship between the use of oral contraceptives and the development of breast cancer. Many of the studies have reported conflicting results. A committee of the World Health Organization evaluated these studies and the risks of breast cancer and concluded that: "Numerous studies have found no overall association between oral contraceptive use and risk of breast cancer." In addition, the same committee also examined a possible relationship between oral contraceptive use and neoplasms of the uterine cervix and concluded that: "There are insufficient data to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of combined oral contraceptives on the risk of cervical adenocarcinoma".[Ref]
The World Health Organization committee also noted that some studies "have found a weak association between long-term use of oral contraceptives and breast cancer diagnosed before the age of 36, and perhaps up to the age 45....It is unclear whether this observed association is attributable to bias, the development of new cases of cancer, or accelerated growth of existing cancers."
The World Health Organization committee further concluded that there is no increased risk of breast cancer in women over the age of 45 who have previously taken oral contraceptives. In addition, studies suggest that use of oral contraceptives does not place specific groups of women (like those with a family history of breast cancer) at higher or lower risk, and variations in the hormonal content of oral contraceptives do not influence the risk of breast cancer.
In general, studies evaluating the potential risk of cervical cancer in patients taking oral contraceptives have been complicated by the large number of confounding factors which make investigations into the epidemiology of this neoplasm difficult. Some studies have suggested that women taking oral contraceptives are at increased risk of dysplasia, epidermoid carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma of the cervix. However, other studies have not found such an association.[Ref]
The rate of death due to hepatocellular carcinoma in the United States has not changed during the last 25 years (a time during which use of oral contraceptive hormones has increased dramatically).
A committee of the World Health Organization has reported that in developing countries where hepatitis B virus infection and hepatocellular carcinoma are common, "short term use of oral contraceptives does not appear to be associated with an increased risk. Data on the effects of long term use are scarce."
A recent Italian case-control study of women with hepatocellular carcinoma has suggested that the relative risk of hepatocellular carcinoma is 2.2 for oral contraceptive users compared to women who never used oral contraceptives.
A similar American case-control study from 1989 also reported a strong association between oral contraceptive use and hepatocellular carcinoma but concluded that: "If this observed association is causal, the actual number of cases of liver cancer in the United States attributable to oral contraceptive use is small. Therefore, these findings do not have public health importance in the United States and other Western nations."[Ref]
Hepatic side effects reported rarely in association with estrogen therapy and therapy with oral contraceptive combinations have included focal nodular hyperplasia, intrahepatic cholestasis, liver cell adenomas, hepatic granulomas, hepatic hemangiomas and well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas.[Ref]
Cases of venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism (sometimes fatal), and arterial thrombosis have been reported rarely.
Previous thrombotic disease is considered a contraindication to use of oral contraceptive combinations.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects including thromboembolism have been associated with the use of exogenous estrogens. However, because the dose of exogenous estrogens is low in most commercially available preparations, the risk is minimal for most women (except women who are over age 35 and smoke and women with a previous history of thrombotic diseases).[Ref]
Genitourinary side effects have included breakthrough bleeding and spotting, especially during the first several cycles of oral contraceptive use. Non-hormonal causes of such bleeding should be excluded. Vaginitis, dysmenorrhea, and candidiasis have been reported. Metrorrhagia, suspicious Papanicolaou smear, vaginal moniliasis, menorrhagia, urinary tract infection, breast pain, dysmenorrhea, menstrual disorder, amenorrhea, and urine abnormality have been reported in postmarketing experience.[Ref]
Some women have experienced oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea following termination of oral contraceptive use.[Ref]
Psychiatric side effects have included mood changes, depression and precipitation of panic disorder.[Ref]
Immunologic side effects have included rare reports of oral contraceptive-induced systemic lupus erythematosus.[Ref]
A case of fatal pulmonary occlusive disease has been associated with oral contraceptive therapy.[Ref]
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects have included chorea, which has been reported once in association with oral contraceptives. Headache and asthenia have been reported in postmarketing experience.[Ref]
Ocular side effects have included retinal thrombosis, which has been reported rarely. In addition, the manufacturers of oral contraceptive products report that some patients have developed changes in contact lens tolerance. Postmarketing experience has included very rare reports of eye inflammation including iritis and uveitis. Optic neuritis, which may lead to partial or complete loss of vision, has been reported.[Ref]
Metabolic side effects reported with the use of drospirenone have included increased serum potassium levels.[Ref]
Musculoskeletal side effects have included very rare postmarketing reports of osteonecrosis of the jaw. Arthralgia has been reported in postmarketing experience.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects have included anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions, including urticaria, angioedema, and severe reactions with respiratory and circulatory symptoms.[Ref]
Respiratory side effects have included upper respiratory infection, sinusitis, pharyngitis, sore throat, rhinitis, and bronchitis in postmarketing reports.[Ref]

Neutering of Pet Rabbits - please contact us at 01 4994718
Some people say it is interfering with nature to spay or neuter an animal, but what is to become of all their babies? There are just not enough caring homes available for them all. All too often they are treated cruelly, abandoned or drowned. There are animal welfare organisations all around the country literally bursting at the seams with adorable dogs, cats and rabbits looking for caring homes, so please don't make the situation worse by bringing more into the world.
The DSPCA strongly recommend that you get your pet spayed if it is female and neutered if it is male. As well as preventing unwanted offspring there are medical benefits, cancer is less likely to occur in older animals. We know it is lovely to see a litter of pups or kittens but spare a thought for their future.
The DSPCA rehomes thousands of unwanted dogs, cats, rabbits, etc every year. Neutering is a good way to help solve this problem.
What is neutering?
Neutering or 'spaying' a female animal involves removing the womb and ovaries (an ovaro-hysterectomy). Males are castrated - the testicles are removed. Both operations are straightforward - they are carried out under general anaesthetic and the animals recover quickly.
When should a animal be neutered?
Thousands of unwanted puppies, kittens, etc are born every year, and the DSPCA strongly advises neutering at an early age, usually around 5-6 months old. This is a straightforward operation that can be arranged with a vet.
Unneutered females come into season several times a year. Dogs may have up to 12 puppies in each litter twice a year, an unneutered female cat can have three pregnancies a year and five or six kittens per litter, you do the math!
Will my pet behave or look differently afterwards?
It may, but most owners think any changes are for the better. Unneutered males tend to be more aggressive than their neutered counterparts - they get into fights with other animals; they often escape from their owners in an attempt to find a female in season and are sometimes injured or cause traffic accidents as a result. Male animals, which are kept indoors, may turn their amorous attentions to pieces of furniture or even people. In dogs barking and ill temper are other symptoms of frustration. Tom-cats can be great wanderers and fighters which can lead to injury and infected wounds, they also mark their territory by urinating - this is called 'spraying'. The smell is difficult to eliminate.
Unneutered female dogs come into heat twice yearly for about three weeks each time and female cats come into heat three to four times a year. A bitch in heat usually attracts scores of visiting males to her owner's front door and windows. She will also be quite anxious to escape and, as a result, may be difficult to control. Females who have shown no interest in other animals before will have a change of mind when in heat. Unneutered females can also go through phantom pregnancies which can lead to all sorts of odd behaviour and may even require veterinary attention to sort it out. They are also more prone to tumours of their breasts in later life and a serious disease of the womb called pyometra.
Will neutering make my pet fat?
No, it shouldn't. Animals generally only get fat from overeating. But a neutered animal may not need as much food as before and you should keep an eye on what you are giving it. Ask your vet for advise
Is it best to let my pet have one litter first?
No, this is a myth. There is no good reason for letting a dog or cat produce a litter and the normal health risks associated with birth and pregnancy can actually be harmful.
How much will neutering cost?
This is a matter that you must discuss with your veterinary surgeon. Cost depends on the size of your pet and whether it is male or female.
All cats, rabbits & dogs adopted from the DSPCA are spayed or neutered. If you adopt an animal that is too young the DSPCA will organise for you to come back when the animal is old enough to be spayed or neutered as part of your adoption fee.
If your are in receipt of Social Welfare you can use our Subsidised Mobile Clinic service. Find out more here.
Feral Wild Cats
Each Spring, uncontrolled breeding means that hundreds of litters of feral kittens are born, prey to disease and sickness. We collect thousands of abused, injured and sick cats and kittens each year.
Neutering your pet cat, both the males and females, will go a long way towards reducing the numbers of feral kittens being born each year.

The flavors in a slow-cooked beef stew improve as it sits for a day or two, so it is a perfect make-ahead for a dinner party. Buy nicely marbled meat, such as chuck, for this recipe.

Serves 10
Prep Time 50 min
Total Time 240 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 250°F.
Step 2
To assemble bouquet garni: Place one leek leaf on the counter. Top with bay leaf, celery stalk, parsley sprigs, thyme sprigs and tangerine (or orange) peel. Place the second leek leaf on top and tie the bundle together in four spots with kitchen string. Set aside.
Step 3
To prepare stew: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in an ovenproof Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pancetta (or bacon) and cook until barely brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving any drippings in the pot.
Step 4
Add beef in batches (do not crowd the pot) and cook until browned on all sides. Transfer to a large bowl and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Step 5
Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pot and add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add carrots and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste. Season with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the beef.
Step 6
Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pot. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
Step 7
Pour wine into the pot and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Return the browned beef, the carrot mixture and the reserved pancetta (or bacon) to the pot along with the bouquet garni. Press down on the beef and vegetables, making sure to submerge them completely in the wine; if necessary, add just enough hot water to make sure they are covered. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the pot and press it directly on top of the stew, covering it completely.
Step 8
Transfer the stew to the oven and cook, with the lid off, until the beef is tender enough to cut with a fork, about 3 hours. Check every hour to be sure the ingredients stay submerged in liquid during the entire cooking time. If too much wine evaporates, add a little hot water to make up for the loss. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, stir in the reserved mushrooms.
Step 9
Remove and discard the bouquet garni. Combine chopped parsley and tangerine (or orange) zest in a small bowl and scatter on top of the stew just before serving.

That's when about 15 men gather to go through their exercise
routine. In between, they talk, poke fun at each other, and place bets
on just about anything (inches of snowfall, Tigers wins, who lost the
most weight, etc.). If someone is unlucky enough to be there on his
birthday, the group regales him with Happy Birthday in about five
different keys.
"Listening to these people and looking at them, you wouldn't know they
had a serious heart condition, but that's why they're here," said
Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab Coordinator Sheryl Mulder, RN. She and other
staff keep a close watch as the men stretch and move from treadmill to
stationary bike to elliptical trainer. Before, during and after class,
everyone's vitals are checked and recorded.
But the exercise alone is not what keeps them coming year after year. "A
lot of it is the social gathering," said Jim O'Neill. "I exercise for
my heart. But the laughing and the good time is a big part of it."
The camaraderie is also what motivates Jacob "June" Essenburg. "I've got
all this equipment at home," he pointed out. "I wouldn't be here if it
weren't for these guys."
"The social aspect is hugely important," noted Mulder. "It adds accountability, support, and friendly competition."
Mulder estimates that every day, 130-140 patients attend classes at
Cardiac Rehab. They are monitored by a staff of RNs, exercise
physiologists, and physical and respiratory therapists. For all
patients, the program begins with a referral from their doctor. When
their referral time ends, many people, including those in the 6:30
group, continue to participate in the health maintenance part of the
program for years. A few have been coming for decades.
It's important to keep up with it, noted Dave Barnett—and not just for
the health benefits. "You can't believe how much flak you get if you
miss a day!" he said (referring to his fellow exercisers, not the
At 7:30, many of the men head to the Café for a cup of coffee and to
settle the latest bet. Food Service Specialist Cindy Whittecar keeps
track of their running tab. "Never a dull moment," she said. "They sit
there and discuss the world's problems … though I don't think they ever
find a solution. They start your morning out right."

And idk why I lost the angels...I wasn't home for a month when it happened and my parents apparently didn't even notice (either they got really sick and the bichir ate them, or they died and the bichir ate them....either way the bodies were eaten) I'm going to get new ones at some point over the summer, but I am annoyed about it, and the tank in general. BUT I WON'T GIVE UP. I'm doing a major re-scape over the summer (well....I say that cause I'm going to clean off all the wood and re-do it....but I feel like I'm going to do my hardscape relatively similar to how I've been doing it....)
|sorry to hear about your angels. using probiotics could also help with the detris buildup.
Re: HybridHerp's 75 gallon (Post Sandy Edition)
sorry to hear
|HD Blazingwolf
why were they lost??
im sorry to hear that!!
HybridHerp's 75 gallon (Post Sandy Edition)
Sadly I lost the angels
And a lot of the plants...like a lot a lot.
I shall be pressing forward soon though, new angels and plants and other fish as well.
|Tank looks great, big fan of those Angels. They will really look awesome @ adult size. I wouldn't have thought they were from a LFS. They look pretty exotic.
This tank is getting more plants and better care the moment I get back home for the summer.
And maybe a few more fish, preferably a pair of nice sized bristlenose plecos and maybe an oddball sort of fish, and another cichlid pair....and more angels, because angels are awesome regardless.
But definitely more plants and better care. Especially now that co2 is up to speed.
This tank is not doing super well, due to various circumstances, so for now I won't be updating this thread...although I will start up a new one now that I know what I'm doing more or less.
I just got a better co2 diffuser and that should fix my problems, then I just need some more fish and a boatload of plants. Look out for this in the future, because I'm too stubborn to give up the idea of monster fish in a planted tank (or as monster as I have anyways lol)
I'll take pics tomorrow, but I set up a small 10 gallon with medium light and a soil/sand substrate so that any stem plants that get uprooted can be planted there and NOT destroyed by my korelia
Easier this way since I think my parents would have an easier time planting uprooted stems in a 10 as opposed to a 75.
I discovered that the tank had a MASSIVE ammonia outbreak and diatoms everywhere...so my parents must have been over feeding/not paying attention to waste while doing water changes, so I had a talk with them about getting that taken care of because I'm slightly getting frustrated with this tank and the fact they aren't taking care of it the way they said they should. Told them that if they didn't want to do this that I could just sell everything...which they didn't want me to do so we'll see how this all plays out.
I'm happy for their help but if they are going to help then the least I can ask for is that they keep everything alive and healthy, or at least the fish >.> I only have 1 angel left, which makes me very very sad, so I'll have to either find them in the same lfs again (not holding breath) or just order them from somewhere (I believe they are Pinnoy Zebras).
|HD Blazingwolf
|They are amano sized.. so 30-40 of them would last a few weeks id think. 5 last a week in mine.. and there are plenty of predators at mid and low levels of the tank that try and pick their eyes out
HybridHerp's 75 gallon (Post Sandy Edition)
That might be a quick fix, but between the cichlids and bichirs you really think they'd last more than a day or two?
|HD Blazingwolf
Look into ghost shrimp.. u can buy hundreds for a few bux, big enough not to be eaten instantly and will give u piece of mind on detritus for a few weeks.
Eventually, they will get eaten but they are cheap, do a decent job, and provide a tasty snack
Update without pictures.
I discovered today that my parents apparently cannot spot uneaten fish food when it is left all over the tank.....fish have a bad case of cloudy eye and algae has run rampant. Plants are struggling since they were covered with diatoms and the like but they will bounce back in time. Same with the fish. Nothing worth looking at though.
I had to talk to my folks though about if this tank is too much for them, because with the amount of uneaten food I saw in there that looked as if it'd been in there for over a week, I straight up told them that if they can't take better care of the fish and plants in this tank that we should just tear the whole thing down, because I've been getting sick of having to do 8 hours of work every time I come see this tank >_>
I might sound like I'm being needy/bitchy here, but I know my parents actually like having the tanks around, and they did not want to sell and take down everything and intend on keeping it. So I think we reached an agreement about how to better handle this tank...I have a neighbor that cleans aquariums professionally, so my parents suggested that they would just pay him to take a look at the tank once every other week (still doing water changes themselves once a week and dosing and all that) so that algae and all that does not take over. Although I'm in charge of the tank when I'm around (I prefer it that way anyways).
Also, I'm going to re-do this little 10 gallon quarantine I have so that I can use it to quarantine plants. I'll include that tank in this journal and will be working on it throughout this week, I have 2 t8's on it for now, no co2 (I don't need it to be a super growth tank or anything like that), and will dirt it and all that. Maybe even get a few small inverts going in there just cause I have 2 sponge filters in the thing as it is, so why not? If I ever felt inclined, I could run co2 into it, but I kinda want to avoid that since, I don't feel like getting another bubble counter and such.
I might be getting some more plants into this tank while I'm home for break, and for the love of aquaria I'm hoping to find a pair of bristle nose plecos or something to help with algae/detrius/be awesome since I like plecos as is anyways. I also want to see if I can get snails back in this tank, even if its just MTS and ramshorns.
I will update this later on. I took a set of pics a while ago but seems kinda silly to post them now.
Gunna try and get some more plants and a last few fish next week as well (I'll be having spring break so I'll actually be home with the tanks)
Been busy with school and such, as I will be for a long long time I guess :P

Travel Guide of Montego Bay, Jamaica for: Secrets St. James Montego BayMontego Bay, Jamaica
Montego Bay Summary
- 80-90 degrees F (27-32 degrees C) beach weather year-round
- Warm locals and some of the most attentive service anywhere in the Caribbean
- Direct flights to Montego Bay from major U.S. cities
- Some of the best golf courses in the Caribbean
- Some of the most luxurious resorts in Jamaica
- Best fine-dining restaurants in Jamaica
- Clubs, casinos, and other nightlife on the Hip Strip
- River rafting on the River Lethe and Martha Brae River
- Money-saving all-inclusive packages offered virtually everywhere (even at the Ritz-Carlton)
- Most resorts have private beaches (for resort guests only)
- Tap water is safe to drink
- Modern, well-equipped hospital available
- Most hotels have small, rocky patches of beach
- Prevalent drug culture
- High crime rate, including prostitution and occasional gang-related violence
- Criminalized homosexuality between men and hostility toward LGBT individuals
- Very little public transportation (mostly unmetered taxis available)
- Slight chance of hurricanes from June 1 to Nov. 30
What It's Like
With top golf courses, some of Jamaica's most luxurious retreats, and a narrow coastline backed by jungle-like green hills, Montego Bay ("MoBay") is both Jamaica's second-largest city and a prime vacation hub. At its center is the Hip Strip, a tourist-focused street with kitschy clubs like Margaritaville (don't forget your free bong!) and somewhat sketchy casinos and live music venues like Coral Cliff (a popular place to score drugs).
There's less cruise-ship crowding than in Ocho Rios and more development than in Negril, but with small, rocky patches of beach pretty much everywhere except Half Moon and Doctor's Cave, MoBay's main draw is its international airport.
Where to Stay
At the top end, luxurious, estate-like Round Hill and Half Moon both still exude their original 1950s British-colonial charm. For golfers, the Ritz-Carlton Rose Hall and its famed White Witch golf course is a premier pick.
Newer, more affordable all-inclusive mega-resorts like the massive, Iberostar Rose Hall, Riu Montego Bay, and Grand Palladium are popping up throughout MoBay (and all of the Caribbean, for that matter).
For a more central, prime party location, budget all-inclusives like Royal Decameron Montego Beach and Breezes Montego Bay are adjacent to motels, but they offer good beaches and are within walking distance of the Hip Strip.
Montego Bay Hotel Guides
Best Value Hotels in Montego Bay
At Oyster Hotel Reviews, value is the most important factor we consider when evaluating a hotel. After sleeping at 40 of the most popular hotels in Jamaica, here are the Montego Bay hotels really offer the most for your money.
Best Luxury Hotels in Montego Bay
In Jamaica, luxury can come from a colonial-style canopy bed frame or an outdoor shower; from over-the-top pampering or warm hospitality; from a champagne flute garnished with sugar cane or a private drive to a roadside jerk chicken shack. We've searched the island for the best hotels and slept in their high-thread-count linens, and these are the hotels in Montego Bay that truly live up to their promised elegance or refined, natural beauty.
Best Kid-Friendly Hotels in Montego Bay
Most resorts in Jamaica call themselves "family friendly," and many are. But these Montego Bay hotels are among the few on the island that offer an incredible pool, calm waves at the beach, supervised kids' activities, cribs, and large rooms. Plus, these hotels go above and beyond with everything from private nannies to pirate-ship water parks.
Best Hotel Rooms in Montego Bay
After sleeping at 40 hotels (and counting) across the island of Jamaica, we can confidently say that these are the most comfortable, most beautiful, most distinctly relaxing rooms in Montego Bay.
Best Hotel Restaurants in Montego Bay
From fusion to authentic, locally-grown Jamaican fare, these hotels in Montego Bay all showcase exceptional cuisine. Great food is priory-one to make this list, but we also give due attention to the unique settings and stellar service. Also, its worth noting that virtually every hotel in Jamaica offers all-inclusive dining packages -- this means that you can order the lobster and the steak, and not sweat the bill.
Hotels for Destination Weddings in Montego Bay
These beautiful hotels will help you plan the big day -- and make your wedding an event to remember.
Celebrity Getaway Hotels in Montego Bay
Numerous Jamaican resorts have played host to famous guests from Gwen Stefani -- who loves the island so much she named her child Kingston -- to 50 Cent to Sharon Stone.
Cleanest Hotels in Montego Bay
On a tropical island, keeping a hotel clean is quite a challenge. A few mosquitoes or even roaches here and there are unavoidable -- even at the poshest of places. But the following is a list of dazzling hotels in Montego Bay -- no dust, strewn hairs, slight stains, or discarded glasses at the beach. But don't just take our word for it -- take a look at our photos, blow them up by clicking the magnifying glass on the top right corner, and see the grout in the bathroom for yourself.
Best Hotel Service in Montego Bay
Being that Jamaica is one of the friendliest, most service-oriented islands in the Caribbean, you're likely to find a pleasant, consistently helpful staff at just about any hotel. But for a hotel to make it onto this list, the service must be truly exceptional -- brilliant concierges, prompt room service, welcome freebies, and thoughtful gestures to make every guest feel especially well cared for. Here are our picks for Montego Bay.

A woman named Tracie Rice filed suit today against Lindsay Lohan, claiming she was in the car Lindsay chased on July 24th, the night of Lindsays most recent arrest for DUI and possession of cocaine. Rice says she was in the SUV driven by Michelle Peck, the mother of Lohans former assistant. Rice says Lohan, put me through one of the most frightening experiences of my life." According to TMZ,

Rice says she "was convinced that their lives were in danger and that they had to outrun the pursuing car or they might be killed." The night of the incident, Rice claims Peck was so terrified at being chased by Lohan that she drove through a barricade and into the parking lot near the Santa Monica Police Station. Rice says she jumped out of the Cadillac Escalade and ran toward police officers and saw a woman, who turned out to be Lohan, run from another SUV toward her. "Police officers approached all of them with guns drawn," the suit said.
Jesus baby settle down. You were chased by a 90 pound white girl with freckles, not one of those battle elephants from Lord of the Rings. She's a drunken hussy, not some unkillable cyborg. She probably just wanted to make out.
