Don't argue with anti's. Their position is based on emotions, not facts. You can't convince them with facts and all you have is facts. Don't waste your time.

grain in new, air tight 5 gallon buckets with oxygen absorbers will last a long, long time. Moisture content of the grain is important but if you're buying in in the supermarket, it's already dry enough. Rice, and other grain can include moth eggs. O2 absorbers and low moisture content prevent this becoming a problem. Your buckets will suck in a little and the sides will flex in as the O2 absorbers do their job.

google UTAH carry permit. Follow the link with "BCI" in the address, that's the agency that issues the permits.

To get the UT license, you need the specific UT course that is written by the state of UT and offered only by instructors certified by the state of UT. There are several of these in NJ.

There's a narrow strip of oppression through NJ that runs from NYC to Camden. Everything else in NJ is pretty nice - except for the fact that we're all ruled by the people in that strip.

I believe that 3% may own 50% of the guns. Maybe it's 6% or 12% but I do think most of the guns owned are owned by a small group of "collectors" or "enthusiasts". But I Don't Believe that 78% of Americans don't own a gun. If they called my house, I'd tell them I didn't own any - and I'm in the 3%.

The logistics were the problem. 1) We'd need a non profit organization. 2) We'd need 500 people to commit. 3) When it came time to actually do it, if 1 of those 500 drops out and we're left with 499, it doesn't happen.

I looked into getting these made a couple of years ago. If 500 people order, NJ will make a custom plate for any non-profit organization. They turned down a right-to-life plate a few years ago and lost the battle in court and had to make the plate - so I would think they'd be in a week position to turn us down. I actually would like a "right to carry" plate better now.

I shoot in my back yard all the time. Completely legal if there's non local ordinance otherwise. Of course, It's rumored that I occasionally shoot with friends on their property. But that's a bold faced lie since NJ would put me in prison for transporting my firearms to a friends house and I always follow the law.

But they recognize UT

I thought you could hunt coyote with .223?

Alarm call at work. I respond and meet one female police officer in he parking lot. I have the key so I go in first and she follows me to the alarm panel. Alarm panel display shows activity in a room all the way on the other side of the building and the motion is still happening. I lead her on a several minute walk through the dark building quietly opening doors and gates as we go. We reach the area where the motion is and she steps aside to let me open that door too. I say "no way - you've got the gun" and hand her the key. Turned out to be a bad motion sensor.

dirt comes in three sizes. Sand is big particles - drains great. Silt is smaller particles - feels smooth in the hands but if you bite it it's gritty between your teeth. Clay is small particles and drains terrible. Clay also expands when it gets wet so it's poor to build on. Loam is good farming soil. 40% Sand, 40% Silt, 20% Clay. Holds a little water but drains well. You have "silt loam" which means extra silt and probably extra clay. It won't drain great but it's still got enough sand that it's not terrible. Lots of farmers are growing successfully in silt loam. Shaly is what concerns me. It's got a lot of broken up stone in the soil which probably means a lot of rock that's not broken up. It may not be a good place to garden. But...stone is great to build on. Take a shovel and dig hole. You'll soon know if you want to try to work that soil or not. But there's more..... in addition to the sizes of particles, organic matter is hugely important. Your report says nothing about that. Take a soil sample to your local Cooperative Extension office and see what the report says. I think it's $7 per sample to have it analyzed and somebody at the center will be able to explain exactly what the report means.

Thanks everyone. We ended up signing up with Gloucester County College, which is now Rowan. Classes start next week.

I know we have a lot of first responders here so I figured this was the place to go for good info. I'm asking this question for my 16 year old daughter who will be 17 in 2 months. She's going into her senior year of high school and has decided (mostly) to go into nursing after high school. She is interested in becoming certified as an EMT this year as (1) a way to explore the medical field before committing to 4 years of study and (2) as a possible way to support herself while in college. I think that's pretty smart of her. I had a friend in high school who got his EMT-B when he was in high school and volunteered with the local rescue squad so I know it's possible. We've both researched the requirements and realize it's going to be a big time commitment along with her honors high school curriculum. My question is: Where in South Jersey are courses offered? I've found two: Atlantic Cape CC and Camden County College. Neither is very close to the Cumberland/Salem county border where we live. I'm wondering if there are any private or other places that offer the courses closer to home. Bridgeton / Millville / Viineland / Salem would be ideal but I'm sure we'll have to go a little further. Thanks in advance.

I emailed UT on Saturday asking if they had statistics on permit holders by state. I got the reply below. I'm going to send the same email to FL, VA, AZ, and NH. I am surprised how many in NJ have a UT permit. From UT Bureau of Criminal Investigation As of 8/1/2016 this was the breakdown: Alaska 219 Alabama 551 Arkansas 194 Arizona 4,507 California 29,087 Colorado 6,145 Connecticut 8,712 Delaware 794 Florida 1,899 Georgia 821 Hawaii 740 Iowa 11,664 Idaho 9,357 Illinois 52,433 Indiana 12,021 Kansas 1,236 Kentucky 196 Louisiana 87 Massachusetts 8,269 Maryland 21,799 Maine 1,069 Michigan 222 Minnesota 11,530 Missouri 1,602 Mississippi 152 Montana 2,624 Nebraska 3,785 North Carolina 843 North Dakota 7,958 New Hampshire 1,021 New Jersey 10,560 New Mexico 1,434 Nevada 23,288 New York 35,889 Ohio 4,163 Oklahoma 247 Oregon 47,712 Pennsylvania 24,077 Rhode Island 735 South Carolina 17,232 South Dakota 3,091 Tennessee 514 Texas 2,660 Utah 229,089 Virginia 11,273 Vermont 463 Washington 25,433 Wisconsin 23,219 West Virginia 314 Wyoming 1,293

Buy. I pray that I'm never so desperate that I would need to sell a gun. A car, yes. The house, maybe. My guns, no.

I've used them to put a bubble of air in a rubber worm for fishing. Keeps the worm at the surface. I had a nurse friend who would "drop" one on the floor once in a while so it could be removed from her inventory. Apparently, they are closely tracked.

I know NJ pawn shops can't sell firearms. Does anyone know of any decent pawn shops in PA, DE, or other nearby locations that do? I've stopped in a few pawn shops when traveling and most don't carry firearms but a few do. I don't know of any withing a few hours of NJ though.

Not familiar with that boiler but it sounds like a cast iron sectional. There are scale control/removal chemicals available from places like Johnstone Supply, United Refrigeration, or your local plumbing supplier. I was a maintenance supervisor for several large commercial facilities for 20+ years. I'm not a boiler guy but have spent a lot of time working on boilers of all sizes. If this was my boiler, I would: 1) replace all automatic air vents and see if that helps. 2) open the feed water bypass (so you get more feedwater flow) and open up the boiler drain at the bottom of the boiler and let it flow for a while. Just blowing down the boiler can get out quite a bit of junk. 3) use one of the commercial de-scalers in gallon jugs. Follow directions on bottle. After a few days, try blowing down the boiler again and see what comes out. 4) As a last resort, there are acid flushes. They are just HCL or H2SO4. You add the recommended amount, based on the volume of your boiler and let it sit for the recommended amount of time. You want to keep this in the boiler. The heavy cast iron sections can handle acid better than your piping and baseboard heat. After the recommended time, flush and see what comes out. I've only had this done a couple of times on boilers and plate type heat exchangers. The results were always less than spectacular.

What brand and model boiler. Different boilers have different types of heat exchangers. It's easier to flush the sediment out of some than others. An acid flush can clear some of the scale but not all heat exchangers can handle the acid.

Texting or Pokemon Go?

Definitely let us know how it works out. You might open the floodgates of new applicants who are right now waiting to get their UT or FL before applying for NH.

Good for Albert. I really mean that. He's put a lot of hours and money into this. But I'm waiting to find out how this helps anyone else.
