    Looking to find a place that sells mission style quarter-sawn oak bedroom sets.  I found a good one in Texas but I want to buy local so there is no shipping.  Anyone have any ideas?  I am in South jersey right across the bridge from Philly.

    This place has a sign outside stating they sell mission style furniture. Pass it by every day on the way to work. They list all their manufactures they deal with on their website.

    At least until a crook gets ahold of a private key at a bank somewhere. Then it will skyrocket until the revocation makes its rounds... Nothing's perfect.

     

    It wont be as simple as "copying" your magnetic strip. The chip technology can't be duplicated at the point of sale. It would have to be much more sophisticated than some hadji at a gas station skimming the cards. BTW most skimming at gas stations are done by the actual employees. Sad but true. Banks keep track of the merchants that always seem to have a card skimming problem. Its quite simple. If a bunch of people report their cards being compromised they just look for the common merchant and 9 times out of 10 thats how the employees are caught.

    I have a Winco brushless generator. If your worried about electronics getting fried get a brush-less one. A lot cleaner but I've had brush generators and ran sensitive stuff all the time with no problem. I think a lot of failures happen when turning high power stuff on and off while the sensitive stuff plugged in. The sensitive components can't handle all the surging.

    When I was an exterminator years ago there was a product called Avitrol that was used to control pigeon populations. You still need a license to get it in NJ and is legal if used properly. The problem is when you are in high populous areas people will start asking questions as to why pigeons are dropping out of the sky. Its a PR nightmare and that's why a lot of exterminators don't use it anymore on any of the city roof tops. Someone in the area probably had a coupe or was feeding them at one point but once they are established its difficult to get rid of them. You can play with trapping, exclusion, etc. but its a just a big headache.

    Perhaps not *all* those who handle large sums of money. Recall the gentleman who owned the ATM/Vending business who was denied, and for whom the judge said, "Find another line of work..."  <_<  :facepalm:

     

    I had a friend who handled large sums of money on a sales route years ago apply and he was told that he should hire a security company or armored truck service  to meet him to make a pick up.

    The only person I ever knew personally was a retired LEO. He showed me the card and I told him he had the holy grail for NJ gun owners. He laughed and said it was all BS anyway because he still had to retreat if at all possible. He said it was not like carrying when he was a police officer where he could stand his ground. Surprisingly he admitted that he hadn't carried in years even though he had the card. The only person that publicly acknowledged that he had one was Anthony from Guns for Hire but he went through years of BS to get it from what I understand.

    Alright. Let's assume the re-labeling was a total screw-up, and that no signature required. The package is dropped off.

     

    Then, someone with a devious intention should have spirited the entire package off to an undisclosed location. And when other parties came calling said "What package? Those front porch thieves must have made off with it."

     

    Still dumb. And of course, illegal.

    The problem is the cops recovered the guns. If they couldn't recover them and he played stupid he may have gotten away with it. I'm sure there was a search warrant.

    If I had the room for it I'd go that big but sadly I don't at this time Edit. Damn I looked at the price WOW GUY. $1000 is really my max unless there is a ground breaking difference Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Sorry forgot to mention that its available in 48" and 55" also. The 48" was on sale a couple of weeks back for about $1000.00. Same great picture just a smaller panel.

    I know it may be out of your budget but I bought the Samsung JS8500 65"  a couple of months ago and the picture is absolutely amazing. No TV on the market even comes close in my opinion. Even though 4K content is scarce right now its still looks amazing in regular HD content compared to even my other 65" Samsung I bought only 2 years ago. They are on sale right now at best buy.

    Its a total line of BS when a dealer tells you that its burning 1 quart every 1200 miles. Its a cover up from the manufacturer. VW had this same exact problem with a 2 liter that was put in their Golfs years ago. I had one and it burned 1 quart every 1000 miles. The dealer kept telling me it was normal every time. I eventually got rid of the car and never bought another VW ever again. After researching it further it turns out a bunch of the 2.0 liter's were assembled incorrectly at their factory in Mexico. The piston rings were defective and installed upside down but they still considered it normal to burn all that oil. I do feel bad for the original poster because they are going to blame everyone else besides themselves.

    Few things

     

    His oil pressure sensor is toast

     

    Does he use synthetic? the motors can run a while with no oil if synthetic was previously used

    maybe they didnt put oil in a month seems odd though

     

    If you dont see smoke coming out the back pipe its not burning it. if it lost that much oil in such a small period of time.

     

    and as Zeke said

    "Bad head gasket? Ck antifreeze . Usually works other way though."

    No engine....no matter what kind of oil you use...can run dry for more than a few seconds. The surface of a crank bearing is as soft as lead.

    Years ago I used to go to salvage yards when I didn't have much money to repair my vehicle but they are far and few in between any longer. At least here in NJ they are. If you find one you may still have to reflash it but not 100% sure on that.

    I'm not sure who you spoke to but you are supposed to stop feeding feral cats. I have worked with a couple of health depts in the past because of flea problems in garden apartment complexes. They would knock on the doors of people feeding the cats and told them straight out if they don't stop feeding the cats then he would bring them to court. They eventually stopped and the cats dispersed. BTW, you can't "rehome" feral cats.

    There are a bit more things, but start with these two...

     

    STEP 1: DIET

     

    Since you're morbidly obese, skip the chemicals and start with improving your diet. I recommend you doing the paleo diet, where every meal consists of:

     

    Protein

    Vegetables

    Natural fat - 5 almonds or slice of avocado

    Fruit - optional

     

    Eliminate all of the following:

     

    Grains

    Dairy

    Sugar

    Legumes

     

    STEP 2: EXCERCISE

     

    You need to work out at a minimum 3x a week to see any results. Do mostly resistance training (weights), as that burns more fat and you probably have very little muscle. After working out make sure you have a whey protein shake within 30 minutes.

     

    Also start getting into the habit of moving/walking around, as you probably have a sedentary lifestyle.

    Just out of curiosity..Why no legumes? I wanted to try the Paleo diet.
