Ant - In re: the new SBI 212A "electronic" procedure - Would you know if this has been communicated effectively to the local PD's as of yet? I can see, perhaps, some additional reasons for delays by local PDs (e.g. "We haven't been briefed on this yet... we know nothing about it...", etc. etc.)... Was there a letter sent to chiefs, similar to the clarification letter on OGAM? It seems nothing is Googleable on this new development. Thanks.

I'm in.

Just curious - What needs to be done to make it "NJ Compliant?"

I think it depends on your "need, finances, tolerance level of the bureaucracy, etc." Myself, I'd probably wait until I have P2Ps in hand before purchasing, not wanting to commit the $$$ until I know I can cover the buys. But that's just me. Everyone's different. Now, if it's a "smokin' hot deal," or a rare piece that might disappear (not to be seen again) if not scarfed up immediately, then that may be a different scenario.

Trust me, we in the diving community have the same issues with our people. It's all about having the proper attitude. Thankfully, we tend to be more self-policing because we know what can happen when land owners start closing caves and dive sites because of peoples' stupidity. People like this will find themselves very isolated (without buddies to dive with). No instructor will accept them for advanced training. They would not be able to get gas fills anywhere (as if they wouldn't be able to buy ammo anywhere, even though they had the guns to use). The diving community is small enough that everyone knows what's going on and will find out when someone does something bad. In fact, divers who deface the clay and geological structures inside caves (i.e. carving their initials, etc.) have been prosecuted, especially if done in a state park, etc. The best protections against mishaps in diving (and shooting) is a very "well checked" ego, and a dedication to the details. And, not to make light of this situation, but on a personal note and as an IT professional, I was completely offended with what these fools did to that poor, innocent mid tower!

Had the absolute best time! A big thanks to Andres (RecessedFilter) for the loan of his shotgun and the instruction (What model was that again?) It was great to meet many fellow forum members for the first time. I plan to attend as many of these as I can. It's simply a matter of getting all the paperwork finished and getting all "doc'ed" up. I'll try again later this week. As stated, I'll also be "altering the plan" a little to add a 12ga to the inventory. Thanks all, and looking forward to the next event. Regards, HB

As do I. I'll bring a few extra.

Quoting from the Imagur poster's 2nd posting:

And (if you or family/kids are in to it), there's the whole "Harry Potter"Experience there, now.

I have 3 boxes of clays and 2 of 12ga #7.5 shells. I'm good to go. Looking forward to it.

I think a more fundamental question would be, "Why weren't the locks changed?" That would solve the problem!

So did anyone go and check this out last night? Any reports?

Thanks. This makes it clear. Looking forward to it.

Precisely. Having everything update "automatically" might seem convenient, but it's not the best of ideas from a "problem resolution" perspective. Things that "worked" a few days ago, suddently "don't work" anymore, and no one knows how it happened. I can't begin to decribe some of the problems I've had with Adobe Flash updates causing all kinds of sudden new problems with web "slowness," etc.. Yes, Microsoft Security Essentials is a good one for "Automatic updates." But I don't do anything else that way. I always choose "Notify me but let me choose what/when to update." This way, I can take backups before I update.

Just to clarify, where is the entrance (parking) for this? I'll be coming south on Rt. 31. I assume I can turn onto Van Syckels Rd and then onto Rt. 635, correct?

And Ulster is "yellow." Weird... My cousin owns a place in Woodstock (i.e. literal "Town of...").

I think Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay may have the beer thing (but not necessarily free). It would be a 2hr (or so) drive from Orlando.

I would, at least, consider some form of "castastrophic/emergency room" kind of insurance for things like "accidents, injuries," etc. You don't have to be in poor health for that to happen. As a cave diver, I have both primary and 2ndary insurance (which covers all the expenses the primary insurer doesn't). Like "hyperbaric chamber" treatments and "helicopter transport" to the chamber facility (chopper alone being about $5-10K).

Problem is, it's their "rented" dwelling. Does the "tennant" have the same right as the landlord (the Univ.)? I would hope so, but the Univ. might have different ideas about that, since they're the ones that would be sued most likely if their tennant shot/injured/killed someone on their property. And they (the Univ.) would be the "bigger target" for the MSM media bash over the incident.

You can change those settings via "Control Pannel --> Settings --> Security" But the question is, do you really want it to do that? Sometimes, depending on what other programs you have installed, doing "automatic updates" can cause more problems than it solves. Things that *were* working suddenly no longer do, and it becomes harder to figure out why. I usually select the "Notify me of updates but let me choose when to install them" option. It takes a commitment to do that, and if your GF's grandmother doesn't want to bother, then I'd say go ahead with the fully automatic updates, but just beware of the consequences. PM me if you'd like any futher assistance.

And Geneese is "Red" due to that little villiage there called "Attica."

Are you flying or driving? If driving, consider the "Auto Train" out of the DC area. I use it all the time when I go to Fl. for cave diving. In fact, the trains #2 constituencey are Disney families. #1 are the "Snowbirds" who travel south for the winter and back home north for the summer.

I use the Roku 3. Amazon "Prime" Instant Videos are free, but many other titles are available for puchase or rent (via streaming).

Apparently, the two students are now on "probation" for the remainder of their time at the school, and the university is "re-evaluating" the policy, per this News Article. I did not realize that this Univ. was associated with the "Gonzaga" HS in Washington DC, but both are Jesuit affiliated.

I concur. I'd let a professional electrician handle it. If your internal wiring does not have a "ground" wire (the use of the 3rd prong), the recipticle won't matter. Also, if the recepticle is near a water source (i.e. a sink, etc.) you might also be required to install a GFI (Ground faulted interrupt) recepticle. IANAE. Definitely call an electrician.
