He was mostly on the Cable TV channels (CNN, Travel Channel), but he did have a show for three seasons on ABC called "The Taste..." a reality series where several up and coming chefs compete to get the mentorship of one of the four celebrity chef judges (Bourdain being one of them - along with Marcus Samuelson, Nigella Lawson, and Ludo Lefebvre).

And, if you noticed carefully, he was not afraid of guns, either. He might not have been fully pro-2A, but he did like to shoot a few rounds off, on occasion, as he did on some of his show episodes.

And that is why I'll "stand my ground" in Florida and fight for it. Florida is worth fighting for.

Where else would you have it, especially if you're anticipating an "inbound" call? And once you do get one, do you want to be fumbling around to put the headset on (and potentially miss the call), or have it somewhere at the ready???

I wish you the best of luck in re: that planning. I just hope there is a place for you to go to by the time you're ready. Every day we see growing evidence of "anti-gunner" infiltration in states that were solidly "2A friendly." Florida in particular, but also Texas, Arizona (getting a lot of the Kommiefornians fleeing the taxes), etc. etc. Pretty soon, there won't be very many places we can go, unless you don't mind being in the cold of the Midwest states and the Tornadoes... (Kansas, etc.). All I'm saying is, "choose wisely," so that you don't have to choose a 2nd or 3rd time.

Sadly, we have another one to report this morning... one that hits a little too close to home for me. http://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/2018/06/08/anthony-bourdains-death-restaurant-world-reacts.html Fox News is reporting that chef and fellow New Jersian Anthony Bourdain was found dead in his Strasbourg Hotel this morning of an apparent Suicide. CNN confirms the story. Although I never met Anthony, I did know his younger brother Chris, he being one year behind me at the high school from which all three of us graduated. I can't fathom this... I know he was having marital issues, but... I hope those closest to him can make some sense of this. I know his fellow chefs are dumbfounded. Anyway, again I say, if anyone needs help or someone to talk to, don't hesitate... All of us have very good ears... and we keep them open UPDATE: According to TMZ, it was fellow Chef Eric Ripert of Le Bernadin (whom I have met) that found him in his hotel room. He had hung himself.

What makes you think the Military would comply with any such orders? First, the Military isn't supposed to engage with US Citizens on US soil (Posse Comitatus Act). It would have to be under the auspices of a federal/State LEA first before they can call for the assistance of the Natl. Guard, or any Military org (as when the Coast Guard (LEA) gets help from the US Navy (MIL)). And, even if Posse Comitatus is suspended, again, what makes you think the Military would comply. Their oath is to "support defend the US Constitution, not necessarily a tyrannical Federal Govt.). It wasn't the Military that got involved at Ruby Ridge,,, or Waco, or the Bundy Ranch. It was LEAs (FBI / ATF / US Marshalls, etc.).

I just read the regulation ( N.J.A.C.13:54-1.11) myself. Here is the text: 1313:54-1.11 Duplicate firearms purchaser identification card (a) Persons shall apply for a duplicate firearms purchaser identification card to replace a lost, stolen or mutilated card, or in the case of a change of residence by the holder, within 30 days of such loss, theft, mutilation, or change of residence. (b) The applicant shall complete an application for a duplicate firearms purchaser identification card designated as form STS-3 and a consent for mental health records search designated as form STS-1 and present same to the chief of police in the municipality where the applicant resides or to the Superintendent in all other cases. (c) It shall be the responsibility of the chief of police of the municipality wherein the applicant currently resides or the Superintendent in all other cases, to conduct a criminal history records check and to determine if the applicant is subject to any of the disabilities as provided by law and this subchapter and to issue the duplicate card, should the applicant qualify. The applicant shall pay the appropriate fee for a Criminal History Record Check as established by N.J.A.C. 13:59 in accordance with N.J.S.A. 53:1-20.5 et seq. (P.L. 1985, c.69). Now, reading this and, given that the main intent of the regulation is handling the issuance of a "Duplicate" FPID card (in the event one is lost or stolen or a change of address is "required"), I'm thinking the intent of the "change of address" part involved local changes of address only (i.e. intrastate moves) where a duplicate FPID would be required. Perhaps, the process for issuing the card is "shortened" if one files for the duplicate within that 30 day period. Maybe the "full process" (including references, and all the other things as required by the State) would be required over again if the duplicate is not filed for within 30 days. Although, again I'd wonder how they know it's been 30 days.... Assuming that Evan Nappen actually wrote that summary on the website (or authorized it), my guess is that he's trying to generate a little business for himself. I honestly don't think this regulation applies to people moving "out of state," permanently with no intention of needing an FPID again. I don't think anyone who moves out of state would be prosecuted. Unless there's any case law involved that we could research (i.e. some out of state resident being extradited / prosecuted... for what violation I have no idea, but....)... Why would they spend the $$$ on doing that? I think we're good folks.

Fair enough.... ~66 feet. I think my largest cable is 60'.

Fair enough... I'm nowhere near 4K anything, at the moment. I'm strictly 1080p, for now, as is most of my content. I'd only consider 4K when OTA broadcasts are more regular (and cable/fiber, etc), or more titles are released digitally in 4K.

I have some 30' - 50' HDMI cables that work very well. I have the output of my DVR/Security system split where one monitor is in my office room and the other (further away) is in my bedroom. But it may depend on the quality of the cable.

I honestly don't see how this could be enforced. I understand if you want to return to visit NJ, and bring your weapons with you (which I'll never do), but if you've left the state permanently and have no intention of returning... First, to where would you send the STS-033? To your *former* municipality? Directly to the NJSP FIU? And would they mail it back to you at your new location out of state? I thought that FPID's always had to be "picked up" at the issuing authority's facility (i.e. municipal LEA office or State Police Barracks in question)??? Would you have to travel back to NJ to pick it up???? This can't be right. I know of no NJ law that "requires" you to maintain an active FPID, even if you move out of state, unless you intend to continue using it while visiting the state.

But at what cost? The Alinsky people were willing to go to jail for what they believed in, particularly because the sentences were probably not as severe. I don't know how many of us would be willing to have a felony rap "for the cause.." especially when I seriously doubt "the cause" would take care of us after our time is served (i.e. provide income - since we might not be employable, protect us - since we won't be able to own firearms, support our political candidates - since we won't be able to vote etc. etc. etc.).

Interesting.... I'll have to check those out....

Question: How badly do you need the box in your bedroom? I ask, because I purposely don't have a TV in my bedroom as I find it can interfere with my sleep pattern. I have one in my living room and one in my home office (where I spend most of my time). You can buy a splitter, but it will only replicate what comes from its source box. If you want your mom to be able to change that, you really should have a box in her room. Most of these remotes are "IR" meaning it has to have a line-of-sight between the remote and the box. If you really need the box in your bedroom, then I'd have to go with three boxes, or sacrifice one of the current boxes you have. Sorry...

Don't know.... I don't follow sports that much....

Welcome from Tampa Bay, FL, from a former NJ'ian.

Excellent show Ant! To get the Sen. to go the full hour with you was quite an accomplishment. If nothing else, at least it demonstrates that we're willing to have that "dialogue." I certainly don't think either side has changed their mind, at all, but at least we're talking intelligently and without the vitriol. Bravo Zulu!

Well, the thing is, you have to consider "Rush hour" traffic vs. when you want to travel. Cornelius is north of the Charlotte Beltway, and if you're leaving in the morning on a weekday, you are going right into the heart of rush hour, and all that that entails. Richburg is away from it. Even Fort Mill, SC is far enough away from it. You can leave right at 8am and not worry about getting stopped by the rush hour crawl. Furthermore, SC has lower fuel prices. You'd probably want to refuel before you start the next portion of the journey. I'd prefer to do that in Fort Mill, rather than anywhere near Charlotte. If, at least, you don't want to go all the way to Richburg, consider Fort Mill. Lower costs, better fuel prices, and the Cabela's is right on the State line!

Welcome from Tampa Bay, FL, from a former resident of Englewood! Funny... I grew up there when "East Patterson" just became "Elmwood Park." I guess it took a lot longer for West Patterson to become "Woodland Park."

I would go all he way to SC before stopping. Most likely Richburg. That said, if you want a palce to visit, Right on the SC State Line is the Cabela's they built in 2015. Nice Store! Perhaps bigger than the Christina, Del. store. That would be near Fort Mill, SC. Also, as you cross into North Carolina from VA (going South), You'll be at the top of a mountain range, headling down the back of that range. It has some really gorgeous views from above. So much so, that they are a distraction from your driving in a place where you need absolute focus on getting down those hills. If possible, I'd have a driving partner take the pictures while you drive (or vice versa). Of course, depending on the time of day, it might be foggy and cause further driving issues. Be careful!

Perhaps, but why bother? I'd just add the FL plate (yes, FL is a one plate state) and get rid of the NJ plates. I sure did! Oh yeah. There may be a little "sticker shock" when it comes to getting your cars registered in FL. You'll have to pay the tax collector some taxes/fees to do so. I recall paying roughtly $318.00 to get a new FL based title for my vehicle and registering it. You'll find that such govt. fees are a little more expensive in FL than NJ. But remember, FL has no income tax, and property taxes are way lower. BTW, you can get all that registration stuff done at the tax collector's office of your county (or any branch office therein). Let me know if you need anything else. Regards, Arnold.

Howard - Congrats on the move... the same one I made over 3 years ago! You should have no problems with the transport of your "inventory...." at least, once you leave NJ. Living in Morris County (IIIRC Randolph where I used to live). You should be able to come right down I-287 and then turn right onto I-78 W. Or, perhaps, find a better route to I-78 W (perhaps County Rd. 513 (Dover Chester Rd) to US-206 and then south to I-78W). And from there, once you cross the border into PA, you are home free. You can then follow this route: 1) I-78W all the way to I-81 South. 2) I-81 South through PA, MD, WVa, Va. You'll only be in MD a quick 10-12 minutes and 13 miles via this route. And you won't be anywhere near the MTAP with their ALPR cameras. 3) I-81 South to I-77 South near Roanoke, Va, then I-77 all the way through VA, NC and SC. 4) I-77 South to I-26 E near Columbia, SC. Then I-26 E to pick up I-95 again near Charlestown, well south of all the bad traffic. As long as you pack/store everything "FOPA" style, you should not have any difficulty. NO, you do not register any weapons in FL. Not necessary at all. There are no "transport/posession" issues if you don't have a FL CWFL, other than you can't carry concealed. To apply, go to the FL DOACS Website. It's easy. No such stupid laws that I know of, at present. You might want to stay out of Duval County (which is the City of Jacksonville itself), as it is the only real bastion of anti-gun sentiment in the area. Everywhere around it is, pretty much, all pro-2A. And in Northern FL, the only other place to avoid would be Tallahassee itself. Otherwise, feel free to run free, here. The only other thing I'd think of is that you should get a FL Driver's License ASAP. Shed that NJ Identity! Frame your NJ FPID and hang it up on the wall as a memento (assuming you still don't need it in NJ...). The sooner you identify as a Floridian, and not as a NJ, the sooner you become a "non-resident" for NJ Tax purposes, etc. Looking forward to your arrival! If you ever make it down Tampa way, we could have a drink and discuss olden times in Randolph. Regards, Arnold.

So Sorry for your loss, Max.... Hope he's running free in Heaven.

I have no idea if you can get permits in those states. I know only that the site says which states honor the permits you have, and which do not.
