S.446
So in a nutshell if it passes your non-res permit nets you ccw for the other lower 48 but still no CCW for NJ residents. Looks like the NJ Libtards prevailed again this time without any effort on their part. NJ doesn't trust us but other states do, makes perfect sense.

Looks bleak
@ nuclearheli, Thanks for the overview.... Just like your sig suggest which of these bills actually target the bad guys? I'm just not seeing it. It just looks like more of the same NJ 2A infringement to me but what do I know.

Generator transfer switches
For myself I opted for the Transfer Switch because I only need 8 circuits to be covered. The TS was easiest and quickest way for me to go, plus I got good deal on it right after Hurricane Irene, the storm that missed us but we were ready for Sandy the following year with our setup and the US Carb Tri-fuel Kit. If we had a bigger home & lager panel I would have went with the Interlock. I wanted the gauges to monitor the load which I mentioned this previously gen thread so that was the other selling point for me. You could also add gauges to an Interlock install but I went the Transfer Switch route which has worked out well for us… Good Luck!

Anybody familiar with 66 punch down block?
That’s a mini block like the R66CB1-6 and unfortunately Hubble I suggested will only fit the full size 25 pair 66 block as in the picture I posted earlier. I probably should have showed the full-size but was focusing on the adapter itself. A this point if are going to stick with the mini block just get a standard RJ11 or RJ45 phone jack and mount near the block and run a jumper from the jack to the block and punch it down on your 66 block which kind of goes which your original plan. Then just run you line cord from the modem to the jack and run your jumpers. With all due respect there was really no point in running the CAT5 if they were just going to use Pair #1 (blue) and abandon pairs 2 thru 4 (Orange, Green & Brown) and just leave them hanging. You could have just used regular of P.O.T.S four conductor RED, Green, Black and Yellow, if you could still buy it You have 6 lines showing on the block and all appear to be four pair CAT5. If that’s the case and you went with the full size 25 pair block you could have started at the top and punched down ALL 6 cables @ 8 conductor each and used 48 out of the 50 pins and had two pins remaining on the full size 66 block. (actually the S66M1-50 is split block and it is 25 pair on each side but that’s another story depending on how its used). Not that you’re going to do it but if you wanted to add a second line you at one of the locations served by one of those 6 lines you are already out of space with the mini block if your intent is keeping those six lines in place. You would have to go back and uncoil the wires and find another place for or just get the 25 pair block. Regardless if you replace the mini block with a full size block and use the Hubble, or the RJ11 Jack you still with have to weave a jumper thru the either punch down block to active any of those 6 lines. EDIT: Here you go, I did a model for you. Note the blue pair running thru the six lines for the jumper. You will have to do something similar even if you keep the mini block, It connects all Line 1’s together. I terminated the jumper on last two pins so I could demonstrate how to connect and RJ11 or RJ45 jack in case I didn’t have a Hubble adapter and want to use a standard jack. I didn’t have an RJ11 so I used a dual port rj45 for the example. If you went with the Hubble on the full size 66 in theory you could place the Hubble anywhere on the block where the jumper is. Personally I would use the full 66 block but it’s your house and you could do it however you like. Either way you’re within striking distance of getting it to work.

Mayweather or McGregor?
If Mayweather had any balls he’d be the one changing fighting venues. Mayweather would last about 10 seconds with an amateur MMA fighter in real MMA bout. Anyway the link below may be of some interest, time to fire up the vpn

Anybody familiar with 66 punch down block?
On the 66 block it should start with white/blue, blue, white orange, orange, white green, green, white brown and lastly brown. If you get the Hubble br866jc you just need to straddle the top white blue & blue with the top two slots with the br866jc then I guess make some jumpers for the additional jacks you want to activate. Typically the Blue is always Line 1, if you don’t use a second line you should be good to go. Line 2 is usually on green but there are two standards, T568B and T568A which simply reverses pairs 2 & 3. I always use the T568B standard but I could make one work with the other if needed. I only mention this if you have or decide to add a second line. Looking at the image this is a RJ45 8 pinout. the br866jc can accept the RJ11 four pin or the 8 pin RJ45. It’s all about the pinout configuration. Pins 4&5 (center) in the image are your Line 1 on the RJ11 male & female

Anybody familiar with 66 punch down block?
Depending on your house wiring that should do it, just put a standard line cord between the OV modem and that br866jc. Place the top two holes on the 66block phone line you want to activate. The line cord between the modem and adapter provide dial tone to the center pins also known as Pair #1. On my block I used jumper clips and ran a wire to all the locations I wanted connected. Punch down tools could either punch down & cut, or punch down and let you continue the line as a jumper. The better punch down tools have the reversible blade for this. Previously I had two lines so I had jumpers all over but just down to one line now Again you need to lift off the old Telco source such as a Verizon hand off. Also if you have a home alarm system as mentioned above you must take into account for the RJ31-X (alarm jack) if you don’t have Telco monitoring it should be a very easy cross-connect for you. Edit: As an alternative if you don’t have alarm monitoring and the Modem is near a phone jack (away from the 66 block) you could get a line 1 splitter and back feed the OV line into any jack and that will provide dial tone to all jacks on that line. So the male side of the Line1/Line1 splitter would go into the Telco jack and one of the two female ports would be for the modem and the other would be for the phone and that would back-feed the other jacks.

Anybody familiar with 66 punch down block?
Yes, Google Hubbell br866jc modular 66 Patch Panel block adapter. It sounds like all you are trying to do is back feed Optimum Voice into your existing house wiring. If that's the case you just need to disconnect the old Telco source and connect your OV modem. I added two images, the first could split off a second line, image #2 is probably all you need unless you have two lines. A little creative wiring and you're done

Apex flat triggers
in case you missed it there is a voluntary upgrade of the Sig P320. I received the following from Midway below. Note they did not call this a recall. I contacted both Apex and Sig. The Sig rep said there is a lot of misinformation about this out there. In short there were some concerns with a drop test. Anyway the Sig rep said the trigger doesn't have to be removed. When I spoke to the Apex rep he concurred and said the flat trigger is OK but the curved trigger may be impacted so if anyone has the curved you may want to follow up. I'm just going to go thru the process and let them do what they need to do, it wouldn't be the first gun I needed to return for recall or service. So the plan is to send my P320 back with the stock trigger for the "upgrade" and when I get it back I'll put the Apex back it, it might look funny but I love my Apex You are receiving this notice because you recently purchased an Apex Tactical trigger for the Sig P320 pistol (MidwayUSA product numbers 686935, 293153, 972729).Due to Sig Sauer’s recently-announced voluntary upgrade of the Sig P320 pistol, Apex Tactical has suspended sales of their Sig P320 aftermarket triggers. Apex Tactical asks Customers who have purchased an Apex Sig P320 Trigger to stop using the trigger and to please contact Apex Tactical Customer Service at (623) 322-0200 to return the trigger in exchange for credit towards any other Apex product. We apologize for the inconvenience, MidwayUSA Customer Service

NJ gov shut down = no NICS on Saturday
I don't know if NJ has CR's? The Feds do and perhaps other states but I *think* in NJ it is pass a budget or bust. They did learn a lesson from the last shutdown with Corzine, the Casinos are open. And with the 4th of July on Tuesday most folks will probably roll the 3rd into a long week and not even give a shit or realize there is a shutdown next Wednesday (if it goes that long) when they try or need to conduct state business. you broke the code it’s easier for the DEMs to grandstand on Pot, sparklers and more stupid gun laws than is it to actually tackle any of the real problems in this state. this should be fun to watch...

Motorcycle License, anyone?
I hear you, that's an whole another hot button issue with me, $65 for the bike reg and $46.50 for the car. How does the state come up with that? you think they would reward you for having a lesser fuel consumption but we all know the higher reg fee its because they aren't getting the extra taxes on the bike fuel so they whack us at DVM. Just more money for them to waste, that's what all the stupid proposed gun laws are for, its smoke & mirrors to get the public's eye off the big picture, the waste....

Motorcycle License, anyone?
I hear that and same could be said for the inspection lines, the running joke at the inspection lanes was “if you made it thru without hitting anything you passed the brake test”. On a side note that’s one good thing CC did by getting rid of the MC inspections. If you have to depend on some state official to advise you if your ride is safe you’re already f**ked. IMHO I think things were a *little* smoother for riders in the 70’s, you only had to worry about the A-hole in the car next to you eating a bowl of cereal and shaving, Now you have to worry about them eating, shaving and texting. I use to commute to work on mine back in the mid 70’s thru the early 80’s then with all the sprawl and increase in traffic I gave up riding around 1982 but keep the endorsement up. I got the itch again in 2005 and went over to HD dealer and purchased one right off the showroom floor which I still have today. From 2005 it’s been for pleasure only, for me commuting slowly took all the fun out of it. Anyway it is fun again, if fact just changed the fluids today so ready to roll. To the OP, just be safe out there. 50% of the people out there don't see you and the other 50% don't give a shit. Good luck!

RIP - You Hockey Puck!
I think a lot of the great ones did guest appearances on Get Smart and oddly enough (for the really old guys here) the Twilight Zone as well. Don Rickels was the Tonight show with Johnny Carson a few times and he was hilarious. Carson was also on Get Smart as well. I can’t even watch night time TV and more with A-holes like Fallon and Colbert but that's another story for another day . RIP Don

1,250+ Wi-Fi Camera Models Are Hackable - Including Foscam
well said and totally agree I was going to buy one or two of the Foscams but just never got around to it. This is kind of a stretch but what you probably do if this concerns you is block internet access to the cams and setup a Remote Desktop computer on you home network that you could remote into and view your cams. Kind of a clunky way to do it but all you have to do is secure the remote desktop process instead of worrying about 5 cams. The downside is if you want remote viewing probably not going to happen with some phone app. You would need two computers able to run Windows Remote Desktop or VNC, the home system would need to be up 24/7 unless you did some wake on lan setup. That could even be a desktop you already own.. Then you need a tablet of laptop to gain the remote access to your LAN. . The main device would be a router capable of blocking internet access. Firmware like dd-wrt or tomato would be my choice, With dd-wrt you could block access by mac address, IP address or both. You could block internet access on a schedule say from 10pm to 6am or deny access 24/7 but you still should be able to view them from your LAN. If you don't view them remotely then just block access to the cams and you're done. Just figured I throw that out there. (edit typo)

Cutting Cable Cord / Slashing Monthly Cable Bill
If you already have a monitoring service I would suggest you ask them which VoIP services are compatible with their service. Unless things have changed in the last couple of years I doubt any UL listed monitoring station will recommend a VoIP service for monitoring. I *think* you’re OK with your Optimum Voice but a VoIP service for monitoring is a risk in my view. Here's an interesting read here and not a big endorsement for VoIP as a means to communicate with your monitoring company. Good luck!

Cutting Cable Cord / Slashing Monthly Cable Bill
Almost everything you wanted to know about VPN’s here. If you are in Verizon Fios land their Digital Voice service is Verizon’s version of a VoIP service that works perfectly with Central Station Monitoring, I had it for several years before I replaced & upgraded my system and moved to cellular monitoring. Technically you could argue Verizon’s Digital Voice is not really VoIP because their service goes over the VZ Intranet opposed to a service like Vonage (or other VoIP) that goes over the Internet. Basically with Vonage or similar service provider the VoIP adapter either gets plugged into your router’s LAN port or ahead of the router and connected directly to your Wan port. Fios Digital Voice on the other hand has the voice connection handoff integrated on the Verizon Optical Network Terminal (or ONT for short) which is attached on or in the home. IMHO VoIP is not ready for mission critical duty like security system monitoring and should be avoided. As far as cellular if you’re on the fringe sometimes you could take the cellular communicator and move it to somewhere in the home like a high wall inside the garage to just improve the signal strength. Another option you have is Internet Protocol (IP) monitoring. The upside with IP monitoring is it’s faster than dial-up but the downside is it is dependent of your internet service so if your ISP is prone to outages that’s not good if your system goes into alarm mode while there’s a hiccup with your ISP. The other obvious issue with dial-up or IP monitoring is the line could be snipped if the cabling is exposed as with most aerial installs.
