    Inmate suing CT over non-Kosher food

    Inmates demanding, and in some cases having to sue to get kosher or halal meals is certainly nothing new. And it has been bolstered and confirmed by the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (which was passed by unanimous voice vote in both the House and Senate). It...

    TV Best satellite dish

    I have Dish Network, as well. I have a Tailgater in the van. It's not in-motion, but it's pretty gnarly, because it gets all the HD channels. For Dish, you'll need a 211 receiver (the 211z is the new one, $99, smaller and faster, but doesn't have the OTA antenna connection of the older 211k...

    sprinter van

    I've used that a time or two, as well. Interestingly enough, that's what my dealer uses when I don't bring my own.

    sprinter van

    I use whatever is on The List, namely anything that has MB Spec 235.0 or 235.6 on the label. Usually it's Fuchs Titan Supergear MC 89W90.

    Cargo Van winter tire's?

    Interestingly enough, they're permitted, at least during the winter months, and some require the studs to be rubber instead of metal, everywhere except Washington, D.C., Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi and Wisconsin, and in the non-mountain counties of Maryland.

    Cargo Van winter tire's?

    For me, good all season tires are more than good enough. You need to make sure you have a minimum of 6/32th of tread for snow, but All-Season tires will handle most expediting snow scenarios just fine. If conditions warrant chains, then the conditions warrant pulling over and waiting for the...

    Generators Inverter or generator

    It's not an either /or situation of you have a battery bank and a generator. You don't have to idle the engine if you have the generator, and if you also have the battery bank you don't have to run the generator for light loads. You run the generator for heavy loads, and to recharge the battery...

    Generators Inverter or generator

    Ideally, you'd have both a generator and a house battery. The generator can recharge the house bank when it's running. For small loads, running a generator is incredibly inefficient, so that's where running off a house bank makes more sense. Firing up a generator to run a fan for a few hours or...

    Hey Y'all it's September! Where ya at?!

    So I guess it's true, then... pestering dispatch doesn't work.

    Praying for ebola outbreak

    Fortunately, the NRA doesn't ever use emotional fear to take advantage of anyone really, especially seniors. Oh wait... Uh, oh!

    Jihadi training camps in the U.S.?

    You don't have to go to Germany for Nazi training. You don't have to go to France to learn French. You don't have to go to Europe to learn how to be a liberal. Is this a great country, or what?

    That's nothing. You should read what some people want to do to spammers.

    Threatening cops

    The actual law broken is "Driving/Never Issued License." How the Sun Times (and everyone who mindlessly and unquestionably repeated it) came up with that I'll never know. At least a fake drivers license is real, but a never-issued one isn't even a thing.

    Where to go?

    The problem is, in your efforts not to bad-mouth your carrier, you are also reluctant to name them honestly. Oftentimes, if the carrier is known, we can make better suggestions on how to deal with problems at that carrier, instead of guessing. You're asking for generic help for what is often a...

    Where to go?

    If your carrier can't find anything out of Chicago for a week, you need to change carriers. Get out of the mom and pop bottom feeder grasp and get with a major carrier.

    Where is it?

    I'm not sure where the injustice is, and therefore what they're is to be outraged about. He was relived of duty and has been charged with 2 felonies. If he was still the police chief and hadn't been charged with anything, that would be an outrage.
