Only dog you'll ever need

How much are wheat berries at the LDS cannery these days?

    Rather personal question, don't ya think ?
Had 14" in the back hallway (Rockette was not happy with it at all.  )

   I woke up to the sound of "bump in the night" around 1 am Friday which ended up being things falling off the shelves.
Turned off the downstairs breakers and jumped in the save shop vacs, batteries and all other electrical devices and then started pulling food stores from lower shelves and placing them higher.
Mostly one gallon containers on lower shelves like bleach, vinegar and cooking oils.
Moved all upstairs till this blows over.

   After clean up, freezer was still good (after literally floating), dryer did not fire up, washing machine questionable, 2 lawnmowers submerged and will be working on Jacuzzi pump motors today.
 Ironically, the power stayed on

My niece by the temple got about 5 inches in their house.

Clocked a total of +15in over night. The east side of my home is now completely flooded. Spent the past 10 hours pumping and shop vacuuming, but the water infiltration is relentless. I think I've moved over 1000gal at this point and it looks like it didn't even make a dent. Really hoping insurance company doesn't screw me on this one.

Prior to this, he was in the road filming/yelling at ICE vehicles.  This is the start of him no longer peaceful/legal protest.

A lot more than that:

The propaganda is running thick. Watch out.

A friend is in this celebration, along with the entirety of her family and their entire neighborhood, celebrating Maduro's capture. She can confirm the CIA did not buy her clothes or a US or Venezuelan flag, since you deleted your original comment.

Hard to deny the oil profit motive. Maybe he could spin it to some other personal benefit as well. Really hollows out his whole claim about not starting wars though.

I would be more interested in him taking a little more action of the religious massacres going on in Africa right now.

You must have missed all the Venezuelans, in Venezuela, celebrating Maduro's capture because they didn't show that on CNN and MSNBC.

Isn't that Chris Marvin in that ad?

Who is signing up?

Most treatment specialists use Advion. You can buy a 4 canister pack for about $30-40 on Amazon; just make sure its from a reputable seller and to read the reviews as there are a lot of fakes or people selling old stock. Youʻll notice a reduction in activity for most ants within 1 week and they will disappear in about 2-3 weeks.

If you have carpenter or pharoah ants or ants resistant to advion, pick up Maxforce Fleet

If you want to go the spray/treatment prevention route, buy a product called Taurus, which is a cheaper version of termidor and also what a lot of treatment specialists utilize when they overcharge you. Both are primarily utilized to treat termites but are effective against a large number of insect species, to include ants, roaches and centipedes. Make sure to follow the application instructions and only utilize outdoors.

If you want the "safer route", boric acid and sugar/honey if ants are in their sugar phase, boric acid blended with boiled or canned chicken if they are in their protein phase. Donʻt waste your time with borax as what youʻre after in borax is the sodium tetraborate, which a salt form of boric acid and significantly weaker and less effective than boric acid. If you canʻt find or donʻt want to buy it online, you can usually find boric acid at Ace Hardware as a roach and ant killer; just read the ingredients list to ensure that its 99% boric acid.

If you go the boric acid + sugar route, always dissolve both in hot water. If making the protein mix, you can blend or smash until well integrated as best as possible.

Things to keep in mind before I get into this.  Our attorneys primarily work on contingency, with no charge to the plaintiff except for some smaller fees. The attorney is paid by the County/State if they win a case in Federal court or settle it.  If the case is lost or ruled moot, the attorneys don't get paid anything.  Private practice civil rights attorneys are paid at the low end of the attorney's pay scale, so those who do it on contingency are a rare breed and do it for the cause.  Even if the attorney "wins" the case, the State can get it ruled moot, canceling out the attorney's pay, resulting in our attorneys losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on their "wins," such as our Taser and Butterfly Knife lawsuits.

Option #1 Pay up front
The attorneys will take almost any case if they are paid for it.  A slam dunk case with a fast settlement may cost $10,000.  Something that goes to the 9th Circuit 3-judge appeal is $150,000.  Going up to an En banc or SCOTUS appeal would be $300,000 or more.  It may seem excessive, but a significant amount of research, briefs, expert testimonies, fees, and travel is typically involved over a decade for a SCOTUS opinion.  For example, I just paid $2,200 today in this case for the 9th Circuit En Banc briefs formatting and printing fees, which is printing 20 copies of the court briefs.   If the attorney wins against the State/County, the client might get their money back.

Option #2 Contingency Basis
Attorneys working on contingency are looking for:
1.  Good chance of winning or settlement
2. A similar case wasn't previously lost with no major changes in the courts since then
3.  A person with a good, clean, and moral background
4.  A reliable and trustworthy person who will see the case through to the end, even if it takes 10 years (won't get in trouble, leave the state, etc.)
5.  Has been proven to be a 2A supporter through selfless acts
6.  Attorneys have the resources to take on the case

A good way to look at this is that we aren't taking cases to help the individual.  We are doing these cases to help the 2A cause and community in general.  I took on this case not to help myself, but to help the tens of thousands of others in Hawaii who struggle with the cost of living and can't take time off work to get a firearm.  The changes we've made in this case have saved the 2A community millions of dollars in lost wages, mileage, and productivity.

For the slam dunk, easy and quick to settle cases, we'll take just about anyone.  For complex cases that will run the course over a decade, we need people we can fully trust.  In order to trust them, we need to know who they are.  Know they are fighting for the 2A just as hard as we are.  They are contributing to the cause not necessarily with money, but with their time, efforts, and sacrifice. 

Most of the plaintiffs in the high-profile and long-running cases have done that and proven themselves.  They've put in hundreds of hours of work and a lot of their own money to support the 2A and the attorneys.  I put $15,000 into this case alone.

Cool story. Now now many plaintiffs over the past 5-10 years didn't come from the circle of friends that seem  to be the same people always listed as the complaintant.

Unless you guys plan on refunding memberships, everyone that's a member of HIFICO should have the same access to legal consultation and assistance; especially if they are lifetime members.

And I highly doubt that seeking consultation to challenge discrimination against service connected veterans due to the waiver is "all about myself", so maybe think before you  make dumb assumptions and statements, which I know is kinda your thing: especially when considering I talked to Alan on the phone about this years ago and he claimed he was already working on something that somehow never came to fruition.
