True but the OP said he already wiped them. if he used DBAN (or something similar) to wipe the drives and then hit them with some 7.62x39 there isn't going to be anything left to recover

The first order of business should be to thank the Gov if you hadn’t done so already. Thank him, wish the staff a Happy 4th and move along because he don’t write the legislation, the legislators do. The second thing should be to start pounding the Dems to get control of state spending and getting them to focus on real issues that impact the middle class like property taxes, jobs and the high cost of living and doing business in this state. Forget about advancing 2A in this state with DEMS in control, they will never give up their anti 2A agenda because that is their go to/smoke & mirrors issue. We need to make them accountable for what they should be doing, not what they think they should be doing.

^ just called and did the same...

Absolutely

here you go Codey said. “I’m not surprised that he did it late in the afternoon, close to a holiday weekend.”, But yet it is perfectly acceptable when these guys wait to the last minute every year to pass a State budget.... BTW Codey, tomorrow is a normal business day

looks like you would be correct, thanks for the update http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/07/christie_vetoes_gun-contol_bill_to_reduce_size_of_ammunition_magazines.html#incart_river

To answer your question my “stance” is the same, Pro 2A. And if he throws us under the bus, as it almost sounds like you want to happen we will have plenty of time to explore it then. In the meantime the budget got signed into law and it was pretty much what was expected. So if there was a "deal" buried in there as you suggested now would be a good time to inform us about it.

Budget battles and posturing from both side are a long standing tradition here in NJ. The only difference between CC and his predecessors is that CC has a sharper pencil. If you are trying to spin this into something more scandalous than it is that’s your call. For myself I would need to see the motive and what’s actually on the back-end of "the deal" for CC before I gave your theory any credibly. What’s going to happen if they don’t reach a budget deal? State Gov shuts down, Corzine already accomplished that one and we’re are still here. So unless you could prove otherwise the only common denominator these two issues share is the timeline. I’m not interested in speculation or past supreme court nominees, I’m only interested in the desired outcome.

Two separate issues. NJ Budget battles are nothing new, they are a yearly occurrence that have been going on for decades. CC has the upper hand because of the line item veto which is a very powerful tool. Sweeney could propose anything he but the Gov has the pen to strip it out. As far as the mag ban I agree is he is cutting it close so we will just have to wait and see...

Not that is matters but remember last year when he vetoed the other BS legislation it was going into a Holiday weekend and he caught some flak for it. The Dems were pissed because they knew everyone was making a B-line out of town for the Holiday so they (Dems) couldn’t beat the drum in the press or on nj.com that CC vetoed the much needed gun legislation. That’s how relevant and these bills are and the Dems themselves are for that matter. So according to Dems mindset the only issues that matter are the ones that they could inflate while the real issues impacting the state & residents get no attention and sidelined

BUMP

Just be advised when you go to see the financial person in that little room that is where all the extra’s get suggested and added on like extended warranties, indoor/outdoor coating options, ding protections, wheel protection and things of that nature. That is where a $300 ballpark payment from out in the showroom get turned into a $450 payment

I’ve been a Sears guy for years but since they merged with K-Mart it’s been downhill ever since. Anyway I’m still limping long my sears mover. As far as the weed-whacker I just replaced my Sears WW with a cheap 2-stroke HomeDepot WW. As mentioned above with Gasoline or 2-stroke you basically has two options, straight staff or curved. The Straight staff is better for taller guys otherwise. Also the some of the WW factory feed heads suck, I got an aftermarket head for my Sears weed-whacker that I was able to transfer to my recently purchased HomeDepot WW. It makes line changes very easy. Something else to watch is ethanol in the gas sometimes ruins your fuels lines and gaskets. So if you are unsure if your mover or WW is OK with ethanol just buy some ethanol guard in the Lawn and Garden center.

DON’T KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE BUT IT SURE IS FUNNY. Here is an email sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune after an article he published concerning a name change for the Washington Redskins. Dear Mr. Page... I always love your articles. and I generally agree with them. I would suggest, as in an email I received, they change the name to the "Foreskins" to better represent their community, paying tribute to the dick heads in Congress. Here are some other politically correctness to consider: I agree with our Native American population. I am highly insulted by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One might argue that to name a professional football team after Native Americans would exalt them as fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of political correctness and courtesy, we must move forward. Let's ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians. If your shorts are in a wad because of the reference the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns. The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of militant Blacks from the 60's alive. Gone. It's offensive to us white folk. The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do you see a team named for the Confederacy? No! There is no room for any reference to that tragic war that cost this country so many young men's lives. I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion among our sports team names. Totally inappropriate to have the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres. Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders, the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates! Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or even spending habits. Wrong message to our children. The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children. The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates . Wrong message to our children. The Milwaukee Brewers---well that goes without saying . . . Wrong message to our children. So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out to rectify this travesty, because the government will likely become involved with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing the do-nothing congress loves . . . As a die hard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in mind, it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women's athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers."

The fact that CC met with the Tea Party and Dems is a good one by itself but what’s even more astonishing is that CC would telegraph his intentions on pending legislation to one of his subordinates. As far as the employment comment I don't know what to make of that...

I picked up this Bushnell a few months back. I should have got a better mount but no complaints on the scope

All Donny had to do was put it to a vote. The Assembly Speaker (at that time) Chuck Hatyaian did his part and all Donny had to do was the same. There was a lot of speculation at the time as to why he folded such as he was *thinking* about running for Governor but I still belive he and Florio made a deal. if you read the press Donny stated something “like” he didn’t wanted to be bullied by the NRA so that is why he killed the override. It was NOT the NRA that put him it power, it was the NJ voters who voted both the Assembly & Senate out then Florio on the next election.

Historically if you mean after the Florio AWB, then yes however prior to that the NRA were just as active here as anywhere else in the US. I think the breaking point for the NRA was when then Senate president Donald DiFrancesco refused to put the AWB vote up for an override vote. The Assembly voted for the override and all Donny Boy had to do was put it to a vote but Florio must have got some dirt on him and the override vote died in the senate. At that point the NRA had to realize NJ is so corrupt they just bailed, I'm not happy about it but can’t say I blame them. So in reality we could thank DiFrancesco for the AWB.

Time will tell but I respectfully disagree. I don’t think he will let anything “slip into law” just not his style. Compared to the Benghazi, IRS, NSA, VA Hospital and the ATF's Fast and Furious gun program scandals the "NJ BridgeGate" scandal is a joke. The reason Obama traded Bergdahl for the five terrorists was to get the VA Hospital scandal off the front page. As far as the NJ Pension fund let’s be clear, Whitman was the one who single-handedly torpedoed the fund and Corzine and McGreedy only compounded the matter.

I know its pathetic but rest assured not all have given up. The reality is we need to continue contacting the Governor’s office and letting them know we are opposed to the bill. The DEMS don’t give a sh*t about the folks in CT or us for that matter but they got exactly what they wanted. Anyone with a pulse knows all was is to box-in the Governor. Their thinking is it’s a Win/Win for their side no matter how this plays out... Keep the faith Ladies and Gentleman, keep calling the Gov and let them know you are still opposed to this bill

I see the post was edited... anyway in other words that is what we would like to say if and and when CC does act....

Try imgur or photobucket, here’s your photo's code in imgur

I think the first is a Gray catbird, never really seen them before until they started showing up a few years ago. I like them, they seem very peaceful. Some took up residence in a nearby tree but Blue-Jay family took ownership of the tree this year. Anyway nice photos

Done, circuits must be busy had to call four times to get thru...

Slightly off topic but this could be useful for those with many online account and passwords. I use a password manager so the only inconvenience to me is just updating it in the password manager. I’ve been using KeePass for probably close to ten years. Here’s some info on it for those interested. It could be a little clunky at first but it creates much better passwords than “little Johnny’s” birthday or “I use the same password for everything”. We use the Classic version found here. Keep in mind if opt to this you MUST back up and off-load your data file because if you hard disc goes and you don’t have a backup of your data file you are SOL. Same goes for updating or adding entries to KeePass, you must keep a backup copy of your data.
