Zombie movies
I'd have to say skip the last man on earth, omega man, and I am legend. Buy the collection of short stories by the same name. It is much, much better than any of those. It's also not in any way a zombie story. You will also find a lot of other stories in there that have been appropriated for the big and little screen with varying degrees of credit given to the author. My favorites Night of the living dead (both versions) dawn of the dead (both versions) day of the dead zombieland shawn of the dead the walking dead Evil dead 2 Army of Darkness The crazies (remake, also does it count?) Decent the crazies (ditto does it count) 28 days later 28 weeks later Return of the living dead 1-3 (borderline guilty pleasure, very) Pet Cemetery The b-17 segment of heavy metal. Dead alive DEathwatch Guilty pleasures The whole resident evil series, although #2 barely escaped being in the solidyly bad category by very, very little. Planet terror. Evil Dead Meh Night of the creeps Pet cemetery 2 Diary of the dead Bad Night of the comet Land of the dead My Boyfriend's back. Route 666 Surf II House of the dead

"I'll Take It" in the Marketplace
The only thing I have seen I'll take it or dibs do on most forums is establish who got in line when. I agree the OP got hosed. The OP didn't contact them in a timely manner, but the seller wasn't exactly on the ball with communication either. You want to be a hard a**, it cuts both ways. Same if you expect to be cut some slack. IMO OP should leave negative feedback, and admins should let it stand. About the only thing we might need long term is a guideline on how much negative feedback you can get without being locked out of the for sale sub-forum.

Mountainside Judge dismisses DWI against NJSP trooper
In this case, I don't think favoritism was involved. I think they got off on a technicality anyone with a decent lawyer could have gotten off on by calling the stop into question and thus getting evidence thrown out. However, I'm not seeing the case where officers ever get punished far worse than any non-LEO. In fact I have never, EVER seen such a thing. I'd be glad to see an example. At best, they get convicted of the same crime anyone else would, and MAYBE get a sentence in line with a particularly remorseless criminal. For the most part they get a much lighter charge, if any, and lose their job. I'm guessing nothing that would amount to anything more than existing in an annoying workplace till their coworkers got bored of mocking them for getting caught. Beyond that, probably being on the bosses **** list for while, thus requiring the officer to suffer having to actually obey the law and be well behaved for a while. Probably also have to hear it brought up any time their behavior is questioned in the future.

Flash Hiders in NJ??
It just looks like a flash hider. i'll bet if you look, the slots the muzzle flash comes out of are not present on the bottom. the slots are also likely wider than real A2 slots by a smidge, and the inside is built differently, and the front is closed off. In which case is is an a2 birdcage COMPENSATOR, and not a flash hider. It's just made to look like one.

Welfare
By your reasoning you should be behind giving them cell phones then. one of the key obstacles to getting gainful employment is being able to be contacted by a prospective employer. Cell phones facilitate that. TV... not so much.

USPSA Match At CJRPC Sunday, July 10
That mostly sums it up. reality for a match the size of CJ is 4-8 hours. Depending on turnout, penmanship, etc. I'm on pulaski ave towards the main st. end. HEHEHHEHHEHEH. You don't get to see the headaches surrounding the palms. I did palms at the indoor matches for 6 months+. A match with about 30 shooters takes about an hour to set up. EZWinscore SUCKS for data entry. So you NEED pre-registration. You also need a computer on site. You also need someone to show up with the gear 100% of the time. OB spent a LOT of time sorting that stuff out. It shouldn't be as hard as it is. They have over $1200 sunk into it that I know of. Between all of that and palms being a dead platform, we aren't planning on moving over to them anytime soon. As for where the scores are, well it's a mess. Vlad has been doing the scores. Vlad has been busy getting ready for his trip to Alaska, and in part that has entailed work trumping some other stuff. Add to that his laptop went poof. Then his wife's laptop went poof. He got a new laptop. he can't get the latest ez winscore to run on it (did i mention EZWinscore sucks). So he gives the sheets to me. Probelm is I haven't had a cop of ezwinscore on my machines since I told everyone they can take the scorekeeping gig and shove it if they have a problem with my schedule. Doing the scores for the indoors for round about 4 years was more than enough for me forever. Vlad was having issues finding his disks, and I don't know if he did before he left for vacation. I found a slightly older copy of EZ winscore, so I can now do the score, but I can't post them, because although I thought i stored the password to the website in my password wallet application, apparently i did not. Vlad is off in the boonies of alaska so it's going to stay that way until after the match. Sorry, it's screwing us too, because we can't close out the fiscal year for the discipline until we pay out that match. things just broke badly in many ways on this one. What I would love to do if we have interested people is get more than one person for scores so that the load can be shared. I suspect it will go a long way towards alleviating the burnout factor of scoring. At the moment though, nothing is going to get the scores fixed before the 15th. My apologies.

STI gun picks!
I'll play. Not a factory gun, built the way I wanted it. It isn't heavy by any means.

8-11 CJRPC USPSA special classifier match.
OK, list of classifiers is CM 03-04 - 3V. CM 06-03 - Can You Count. CM 08-03 - Six. CM 99-11 - El Presidente. CM 99-10 - Times Two. CM 06-06 - Golden Bullet Standards. So in theory 88 rounds. I'd bring at least 100 just in case. I'd put it up on CJUSPSA.org, but I appear to have forgotten the password.

New Jersey State Ruger Rimfire Match 8/20/2011

Such a cute little bear .... Ouch! Run!
Trunks vent to the interior of the car. The interior of the car at the very least vents to the air intakes at the rear of the hood. That is assuming all your weather stripping is in good shape. Bears sniffers are a LOT more sensitive than ours.

Ammoman run!
I've tried dealing with them. He can keep his ammo, and I'll keep my money. If he discounts for pickup, that's new. He used to absolutely refuse to take anything off the shipped price AND you had to pay sales tax to boot.

Does this sound right RE: .223 trajectory
OK, drop a 55gr bullet and drop a 75gr bullet. They drop at the same speed, just like everything else that doesn't have greatly differing friction from the atmosphere. Now cram as much powder in a .223 case behind each that you can without blowing up the gun. You will notice the 75gr projectile moves a lot slower. That means the time in flight to cover the same distance is shorter for the 55gr than for the 75gr projectile. That means the 75gr projectile has more time to fall before hitting the target. SO it impacts lower despite retaining more energy and being deflected less by wind (assuming everything else is the same, bullet profile can mess with both of those things). As for the 25/300 and 50/200 zeroing thing and them not performing well, they are based on a given projectile (i.e. military 55gr projectiles), and a given velocity. Military ammo has a specified velocity range to not be rejected, and it's reasonably tight. So for example, m193 ammo out of an m4 zeroed at 50 is about .3 inches high at 100, and about .7 inches low at 200. Zeroed at 25, it is about 5 inches high at 100, 10 inches high at 200, and isn't back at zero until around 350. m855 zeroed at 25 out of the same gun (heavier bullet moving slower) is at zero again at 300 yards. m855 out of 20" barreled m-16 zeroied at 25 is not back at zero until about 330. For a 16" barreled gun, most factory 55gr is pretty well behaved with a 50 yard zero being within an inch and a half high or low from 25 to about 230. If you want to know what to expect with your ammo, get a chrono and an external ballistics calculator. It makes life easier.

Sp-01 vs 75b
In my experience, the SP-01s I ahve seen ahve had more consistent fit and finish compared to the 75s I have seen. An sp01 with a good trigger job is a very nice gun.

If you attend any matches regularly, you might want to mention. Easy pick up at a match might draw in some more people.

8-11 CJRPC USPSA special classifier match.
OK, update on this. Got pricing sorted out with the folks who usually do the money and the section. Pricing is Normal price + $10. So if you are a CJ member and USPSA memnber, it would normally be $15, but will be $25 for this match. It covers the extra fees rounded up to the nearest $5 increment. Just a USPSA member, then $30. We aren't doing the sign up deal at the match. I'd post the list of classifiers, but I have to figure out a replacement for one as IDPA destroyed the mini mart prop I was going to borrow from old bridge. I should have that list by tonight and will post here and on the CJUSPSA web page.

Major KB with Reman USAmmo
The platform has little to do with it, the ammo is over pressure.

5.56 / 223 - Same ?
There are two key differences for 5.56 and .223. First the brass. 5.56 has a thicker web and smaller case volume, or at leas it can. This is to deal withthe higher pressures soecced for 5.56. The 5.56 chamber is cut with a longer leade. This means the bullet mives farther before contacting the rifling. This gives the burning powder charge more space toexpand before pressure spikes. Theoretically, match .223 is tightest and 5.56 is te loosest, and .223 wylde, 5.56 sam-r, and a bunch if others in between. In reality, if you look at chamber cutter dimensions, the tightest one sold as 5.56 is tighter than the loosest one sold as .223. So there are no guarantees, just playing it safer.

Members of OBRPC ?
Well I was a stupid optimist. Someone DID drag them out and DID shoot them with a rifle. Bonus, they weren't OBRPC's. The were CJRPC's and on loan to OB for a match. So we now have to replace them to the tune of several thousand dollars.

scotus to decide on carry
Reading this, I don't know if it is the case we want. The guy didn't apply for a permit. Had he applied, and been denied for no reason other than "you didn't provide us good enough reason", it would pprobably be a good case to apply due process to as I'm certain you oculd dig up someone who was arguably demographically the same except fo their connections who was approved.

Used PMAGS anyone?
I have some 14-15 rounders I made out of bushmaster 10 rounders. Even without my labor figured in (I'll throw it in for free as it was imperfecct, hence why some only hold 14), they cost more than $20 in parts and magazines. About $30 actually. You can have them for $15 a pop. I have 4 left I believe. I'll take the money and buy some of the $20 arms n ammo ones with them. There, I just offered you the best deal you are going to find and I woudl argue it is smarter to just buy the A-n-A 20 rounders.

East Brunswick Police Training Facility
EB opening the police range to the public? IIRC they have said something like that since at least 2000. Heck, I'm not even sure if it's the same facility any more. But i wouldn't hold your breath.

Police Kill Teenager After Shooting Him 5 Times In Back And While Laying Face Down On Street
I agree with your interpretation of this event. However, you are, have been and continue to be rude, confrontational and impolite while assuming your opinion is supersedes all others. In short, when present in a police officer, the attitude the term "contempt of cop" was coined for and why a lot of perfectly law abiding people dislike police. If we annoy you so much. LEAVE. So you got my -1 to boot, your attitude sucks.
