California Outdoors for the week of 4/4/20113
Extra ammo
Question: I wonder if you can settle a bet for me and my friends. They told me when hunting for turkeys, it is illegal to also carry shotgun slug ammunition. I disagree because what if someone wants to carry slugs in case they get the chance that a pig might run by? Please set us straight.
Paso R
Answer: Sorry, your friends are correct! Only shotgun shells with loose No. 2 size shot or smaller may be in your possession while hunting for turkeys (California Code of Regulations Title 14, section 311(b)). So, if you are hunting turkeys, you cannot carry a slug because it's not shot loose in the shell. If you are hunting wild pigs with a shotgun using slugs in the California condor range, the slugs must not contain more than 1 percent lead by weight.
Carp by spear gun
Question: When I was a kid, we used to hunt carp with a spear gun. We'd jump into the creek and get carp up to 21 pounds. It was a lot of fun for a bunch of skinny kids with the fish pulling us all over the pool! Can you please clarify the regulations and let me know where, when or even if it is still doable?
—Damian L.
Answer: It is only legal to spearfish carp in the Colorado River District, parts of the Valley District, parts of the Kern River and in those areas listed in CCR Title 14, section 2.30. It is only legal to spearfish carp in the areas listed in this section.
Carrying a sidearm
Question: I am new to hunting and have a question. I understand that in order to hunt with a handgun, the barrel length needs to be 4 inches or longer. However, I have a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan 454 Casull with a 2.5-inch barrel. I do not plan to hunt with it, of course, but would like to know if I can carry it as a backup. I do not want to purchase another gun if I already have one. Please help me with my question.
—Daniel K.
Los Banos
Answer: Regulations do not restrict you from carrying a sidearm while hunting except when hunting during an archery-only season for that species or while hunting under the authority of an archery-only tag during the general season for that species.
And the 4-inch barrel length for handguns only applies when hunting for elk and bighorn sheep. Pistols and revolvers with any barrel length using centerfire cartridges with softnose or expanding projectiles may be used to take deer, bear and wild pigs. In the California Condor Zone, all ammunition in your possession must be certified non-lead.
See sections 311, 353, 354, 465 and 475 in the 2012-13 Mammal Hunting Regulations for specific methods authorized for taking birds and mammals. These regulations are available online at dfg.ca.gov/regulations.
Transporting bait fish
Question: I have a question regarding transporting finfish. Is it legal to catch anchovies and shiners by throw net and then transport them to the fishing location? I would like to do this in San Francisco Bay but would not take Bay fish to other waters (or take ocean bait fish into Bay waters). If it's all within the Bay, does that still indicate "transporting"? If so, is there a distance limit? For example, can I net bait fish near a marina with parked boats and take them 50 to 100 yards to a legal fishing site? California Department of Fish and Wildlife regs refer only to restrictions on freshwater species but do not refer to saltwater and San Francisco Bay fish. We all just want to play by the rules, so can someone please clarify for us? Thank you.
—Gino P.
Answer: It is legal to use a Hawaiian-type throw net in the ocean north of Point Conception (including San Francisco Bay) to take some species, including anchovies and shiner surfperch. For a complete list of species that may be taken with this gear, please see section 28.80 in the Ocean Sport Fishing regulations. There is no minimum distance provided in the regulations, and bait fish taken inside San Francisco Bay may be used inside the Bay.

When the housing bubble burst, it set off a wave of foreclosures. / Don Ryan, AP
The federal government on Wednesday announced a new loan modification program designed to help many more struggling homeowners than previous initiatives by requiring no documentation of income or financial hardship.
Under the Streamlined Modification Initiative, borrowers with loans backed by mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must be at least 90 days delinquent on their mortgages and and make three trial payments on time. The initiative is being launched by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which regulates Fannie and Freddie.
"This new option gives delinquent borrowers another path to avoid foreclosure," says FHFA Acting Director Edward DeMarco.
Other programs to aid struggling homeowners, such as the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), required borrowers to provide financial, income and hardship documentation. That created bureaucratic bottlenecks for many mortgage servicers, which limited the effectiveness of the programs.
The new initiative will begin July 1, 2013, and end Aug 1, 2015. By July 1, mortgage servicers must identify delinquent borrowers and send them a letter offering the modification.
To reduce their monthly payments, borrowers will get a new interest rate that's equal to or below their current rates, based on the average of 30-year fixed mortgages, and the term will be extended to 40 years. Also, borrowers who owe more than their homes are worth will pay no interest on up to 30% of their unpaid balance. Borrowers, on average, are expected to reduce their monthly payments by 30%.
FHFA notes that in most cases, borrowers who provide proof of income and financial hardship can receive a more affordable monthly payment through the HAMP program.
To be eligible for the new program, homeowners must be 90 days to 24 months delinquent on their loans. They also must have a first-lien mortgage that's at least 12 months old, and the amount they owe on their mortgages must be at least 80% of their home value.
FHFA says it has screening measures in place to ensure that the new program isn't exploited by strategic defaulters - people who stop paying their loans to get a modification.
FHFA officials have not estimated the number of borrowers they expect to participate. But in a pilot program, 70% of those offered the opportunity took part in the trial, and 50% of the latter group received a permanent loan modification.
Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates, says the program "is not a bad idea" because it addresses mortgage servicers' paperwork snafus.
"It's a solution for some people who just want a roof over their head and don't want to lose their home," he says.
But it will not be the best option for homeowners who could save more money through other programs that require documentation, Rheingold says.
More critically, he says, the program doesn't lower the principal owed by borrowers to give them more equity in their homes. FHFA has been unwilling to do that.
About one in five homeowners owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. That's been an impediment to the revival of the housing market and the economy.
"Unless they address principal reduction, it's not good enough," Rheingold says.
Fannie and Freddie helped 130,000 homeowners avoid foreclosure in the fourth quarter, pushing their total such successes last year to 540,000, according to FHFA. Since 2008, they have helped 2.7 million borrowers avoid foreclosure, including 1.3 million through loan modifications and the remainder through repayment and forbearance plans, short sales and other strategies.

New advanced help menu system with assist images: The D40's newly introduced "assist images" help you select the appropriate settings for many camera features by showing an example image typical of that setting as well as an advanced help menu for the current item selected. The D40's question mark icon (?) indicates that help is available for the currently selected item. Just press the help button beside the LCD monitor to see a context sensitive help page.
Image optimization options: The D40's image optimize setting lets photographers adjust color, contrast and sharpening as well as other image settings according to the type of scene or output desired. Settings include: normal, softer, vivid, more vivid, portrait, custom and black and white, each of which are automatically adjusted based on sophisticated Nikon algorithms or user-selected settings for optimum results.
Bright, accurate SLR viewfinder: A large viewfinder makes composition easier, and overall viewfinder brightness makes focusing in low-light photography possible. The bright and sharp viewfinder, with 0.8x magnification, ensures precise composition.
Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II: The D40's 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes.

Error. Press Shutter Release Again.
When I press the shutter button again, it clicks, and all is back to normal.
When I review the images, the picture is there.
It in not failing to take the pictur, just throwing the error, requiring 2 presses on the shutter release for each pic.
On a side note, when I use the remote, it still throws the error, but I have to press the button on the camera, It win't accept another remote signal as another shutter release press.

The udev incident was 2 things:
1) lennart's quote about eventually removing non-systemd support which got blown WAY out of proportion.
2) the commit that broke module loading for certain devices. Which if you actually delved into the mailing lists from lkml...the change made sense. It just broke things in process which pissed Linus off because of his "Dont break shit!" rule (a good rule) and then the udev guys made a fairly "Meh whatever" response to Linus, pissing him off more. BUT, the change they did, the re-ordering of the process for module loading that they did, made sense and was reasonable once you read the discussion and figured out what exactly happened.
I'm just gonna pick a few things at random that systemd does, this isnt meant to be comprehensive.
Hostname support: does systemd NEED be the hostname controller? No. But its such a simple thing (set HOSTNAME) I dont really see a problem with it.
Control login: Interesting idea, and im not against it mainly because of cgroups and the fact systemd tracks processes on a per-user basis no matter what (no double forking). It lets systemd properly follow what exactly started a process and by who to keep everything in line.
Rudimentary power management (Sleep, hibernate): Interesting idea, systemd controls modules being loaded and therefore it can ensure that everything is offloaded and reloaded properly.
The journal: Lennart was right about one thing: you can edit plaintext logs. (This isnt meant to be a binary vs plaintext log fight) and anyone can forge logs. Since systemd keeps absolute track of services, and processes it kind of makes sense that it would handle their logging too. The beauty here is that journal doesnt take exclusive control, I've got journal and syslog-ng running simultaneously. Journal takes messages from processes, makes its log, then forward the same messages onto syslog and then syslog does its thing.
Timezone handling: (See hostname)
Hardware clock: (see hostname)
Cron: This is one that I don't really see the point of, but as long as you can still run your own cron daemon if you want to, i dont really care lol.
udev: This is the one I'll get fought on, I know, but I'm gonna say it anyway. Systemd controls module loading as well as module logging, hardware is useless without drivers (modules), systemd also does hotplugging (multiseat) which means udev and systemd are going to be working hand in hand ANYWAY. Until such a time that Upstart, OpenRC, and SysV are all dead (AND you dont see a new competitor on the horizon) you won't see udev become hard-dependent on systemd... so whats the big deal? You can still build udev solo, you can still use it without systemd.
Side note: Every feature I mentioned except process handling (obviously) and the journal are all configurable via compile-time configure switches OR run-time configuration file values so don't jump down my throat about bloat or not being modular. Systemd has the ABILITY to do more when so desired just as it has the ABILITY to do less when so desired, which is only possible if its modular. And if its modular, then it cant be bloated because bloated implies that things are forced. Is the kernel bloated?
Very beginning of the thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/2/194 I think its the 3rd email from Linus that he starts ripping into systemd/udev developers for breaking stuff. What it comes down to is should the firmware be loaded when the hardware is probed or when the module is actually loaded? if I remember correctly.
I can't find the link myself but there's more info in a gentoo forums thread talking about eudev (the gentoo hosted fork of udev v187 or v189)
He said he'd EVENTUALLY remove support for non-systemd. People always forget the "EVENTUALLY." Once people started freaking out he clarified that it was not a short-term goal by any means and would only happen once systemd was THE standard in the linux ecosystem and there WERE no competitors TO support.
Of course not, but Lennart also clarified afterwards that support for non-systemd+udev would only end once once there werent any real non-systemd systems left.
Major distros who are using SysV?
Gentoo, Slackware, Debian (Im leaving RHEL + its clones out of this because RHEL7 uses systemd)
Major distros using Upstart?
Ubuntu, (+derivatives, but basically Ubuntu.)
Everyone else? systemd
Debian wants to be able to swap out kernels so theyre stuck with sysV. If and when systemd removes non-systemd support from udev they'll probably switch to eudev.
Gentoo lets you swap out components anyway. The users who want to use systemd will use mainline udev. The users who dont want systemd will use eudev.
Slackware.... who the hell knows what those guys will do.
Ubuntu...I really hope will adopt systemd but I'm not holding my breath. They're basically in the same boat as debian/gentoo. If they dont want to use systemd they'll use eudev, if they do want to use systemd then its a non-issue.
Udev is officially promoted as an userspace part of the Linux kernel. Anybody using Linux, therefore, has to use udev, or needs to otherwise replace it with something equivalent, which is both (a) not supported and (b) nearly impossible to do while maintaining feature parity with the official udev implementation, especially considering that udev is constantly changing together with the kernel.
If you tie systemd to udev, you're effectively forcing everybody who uses the Linux kernel to use systemd. Since there is a non-empty set of people who are interested in running Linux without running systemd (full disclosure: I'm one of them), it was no surprise that when udev and systemd were merged some voices were heard of people fearing that they would be pushed into using systemd.
On that occasion udev and systemd developers reassured everybody thay "nothing would change", as it was merely a matter of "sharing code". It turned out that no, in fact things would change, as udev changed in an incompatible way when it was merged; another change was that now you have to build the full systemd package in order to obtain the udev binary (which also changes name into "systemd-udev", and gets moved to another location upon installation) and manually rip it out of the built package. Building the systemd package has many more requirements than udev, and some of them can't be cleanly cross-compiled (just one of them: Python). Not to mention the fact that installing udev changed from a matter of "configure / make / make install" into a much more complicated job. Patches to allow udev to be built separately from systemd were rejected.
The blog post says that people are free not to use systemd because "free software isn't Mafia" ; well, the reader will decide what kind of behaviour it is to push people into using systemd by making their life noticeably harder if they don't.
Anyway, after we discovered that, unlike was promised, things would indeed change for non-systemd users of udev, we finally got an official announcement by the systemd lead developer stating that they dislike having to support non-systemd users, and that they look forward to the day when they'll get rid of the "inconvenience".
Now, it doesn't matter if his dreams of Linux domination will become true in 2013, in 2014 or in 2020. This statement is of extreme importance now, because:
(1) the use of udev is for all practical purposes required in order to fully make use of the Linux kernel;
(2) the udev maintainers are claiming that they are working to stop supporting udev without systemd in a somewhat unspecified future (and, as anyone can see, in the meantime they are already behaving as if non-systemd users of udev were second-class citizens, and are publicly stating it in order for it to be well known);
from (1) and (2) we get that non-systemd users are friendly advised to either stop using the Linux kernel, or prepare themselves to develop and maintain an alternative to udev. Or, much more conveniently, switch to systemd.
No you can't. Try to do it and tell me your experience.You can still build udev solo,
You still can, but it's a pain in the ass, which it wasn't before the udev-systemd merger, and most importantly, it's a use case with an expiration date. Which is unacceptable.you can still use it without systemd.
Please forgive me for this rant in a systemd thread, but hearing people say that non-systemd users of Linus exaggerate or are paranoid when they say that they're being pushed into using systemd, means having insult added to the injury to me.

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
The Mime's New Job One day, an out-of-work mime is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer. However, as soon as he starts to draw a crowd, the zookeeper grabs him and drags him into his office. The zookeeper explains to the mime that the zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla, has died suddenly. The keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off, so he offers the mime a job to dress up as a gorilla until they can get another one. The mime accepts. The next morning, before the crowd arrives, the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage. He discovers that it's a great job: he can sleep all he wants, play and make fun of people, and draw in bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime. But eventually, the crowds tire of him and he gets bored of just swinging on tires. He begins to notice that people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition, and dangles from the top to the lion's cage. Of course, this makes the lion furious, but the crowd loves it. At the end of the day, the zookeeper comes and gives the mime a raise for being such a good attraction as a gorilla. Well, this goes on for some time. The mime keeps taunting the lion, the crowds grow larger, and his salary keeps going up. Then one terrible day while he is dangling over the furious lion, he slips and falls. The mime is terrified. The lion gathers itself and prepares to pounce. The mime is so scared that he begins to run round and round the cage, with the lion close behind. Finally, the mime starts screaming and yelling, "Help, help me!" but the lion is quick and pounces. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion, when the lion says, "Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?"
Anything Else A wife, arriving home from a shopping trip, was horrified to find her husband in bed with a lovely young woman. Just as the wife was about to storm out of the house, her husband stopped her with these words. "Before you leave, I want you to hear how this all came about." "Driving along the highway, I saw this young woman looking tired and disheveled, so I brought her home and made her a meal from the roast beef you had forgotten in the refrigerator." "She had only some worn sandals on her feet, so I gave her a pair of good shoes you had discarded because they had gone out of style." "She was cold, so I gave her a sweater I had bought you for your birthday, which you never wore because the color did not suit you." "Her pants were worn out so I gave her one of yours that were perfectly good, but too small for you now. Then, when she was about to leave the house, she paused and asked, 'Is there anything else your wife doesn't use anymore?'"
Whose Is It One morning a milkman was delivering milk to one of his regular customers and was surprised to see a white bedsheet with a hole in the middle, hanging up in her living room. The housewife explained that she'd had a party the night before in which the guests played "Whose Is It?" -- each of the men had put their equipment through the hole and the women tried to guess their identity. "Gee, that sounds like fun," said the milkman. "Sure wish I'd been there." "You should have been," said the housewife. "Your name came up three times!"

The Confessional A married man goes to confessional and tells the priest, "I almost had an affair with a woman." The priest asks, "What do you mean, almost?" "Well, we got undressed and 'rubbed' together, but then I stopped." The priest replies, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to go near that woman again. Now, say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box." The man leaves confessional, says his prayers, and then walks over to the poor box. He pauses for a moment and then starts to leave. The priest quickly runs over to him and says, "I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box!" "Well Father, I rubbed up against it, and since you said it was the same as putting it in..."
The 5 Questions Most Feared By Men 1. What are you thinking about? 2. Do you love me? 3. Do I look fat in this? 4. Do you think she is prettier than me? 5. What would you do if I died? What makes these questions so difficult is that each one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly (i.e. tells the truth). Therefore, as a public service, each question is analyzed below, along with possible responses. Question #1: What are you thinking about? The proper answer to this, of course, is: "I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you." This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following: a. "Football." b. "Golf." c. "How fat you are." d. "How I would spend the insurance money if you died." Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg, "If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you!" Question #2: Do you love me? The proper response is: "Yes!" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in order, "Yes, dear." Inappropriate responses include: a. "Oh yeah, sh*tloads." b. "Would it make you feel better if I said yes?" c. "That depends on what you mean by love." d. "Does it matter?" e. "Who, me?" Question #3: Do I look fat? The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!" Incorrect answers are: a. "Compared to what?" b. "I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin." c. "A little extra weight looks good on you." d. "I've seen fatter." e. "Sorry, what did you say? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died." Question #4: Do you think she's prettier than me? Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!" Incorrect responses include: a. "Yes, but you have a better personality." b. "Not prettier, but definitely thinner." c. "Not as pretty as you when you were her age." d. "Define pretty." e. "Sorry what did you say? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died." Question #5: What would you do if I died? A definite no-win question. (The real answer, of course, is "Buy a Ferrari and a boat.") No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along these lines: Woman: Would you get married again? Man: Definitely not! Woman: Why not -- don't you like being married? Man: Of course I do. Woman: Then why wouldn't you remarry? Man: Okay, I'd get married again. Woman: You would? (With a hurtful look on her face) Man: (audible groan) Woman: Would you sleep with her in our bed? Man: Where else would we sleep? Woman: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her? Man: That would seem like the proper thing to do. Woman: And would you let her use my golf clubs? Man: She can't use them -- she's left-handed. Woman: (silence) Man: Sh*t.
Hangover Ratings * 1-star hangover No pain. No real feeling of illness. You sleep in your own bed and when you wake up, there are no traffic cones in there with you. You are still able to function relatively well on the energy stored up from all those vodka and Red Bulls. However, you can drink 10 bottles of water and still feel as parched as the Sahara. Even vegetarians crave a cheeseburger and a basket of fries. ** 2-star hangover No pain, but something is definitely amiss. You may look okay but you have the attention span and mental capacity of a stapler. The coffee you chug to try and remain focused is only exacerbating your rumbling gut, which is craving a full English breakfast. Although you have a nice demeanor at the office, you are costing your employer valuable money because all you really can handle is some light filing, followed by aimlessly surfing the Net and writing junk e-mail. *** 3-star hangover Slight headache. Stomach feels like crap. You are definitely a space cadet and not so productive. Anytime someome walks by your desk you gag because the perfume/aftershave reminds you of the random shots you did with your alcoholic friends after the bouncer kicked you out at 1:45 a.m. Life would be better right now if you were in your bed with a dozen doughnuts and a two-liter bottle of Coke, watching daytime TV. You've had four cups of coffee, a gallon of water, two burritos, and a two-liter bottle of Diet Coke, yet you haven't peed once. **** 4-star hangover You have lost the will to live. Your head is throbbing and you can't speak too quickly or else you might spew. Your boss has already lambasted you for being late and has given you a lecture for reeking of booze. You wore nice clothes, but you smell of socks and can't hide the fact that you missed an oh-so crucial spot shaving. Your teeth have their own individual sweaters. Your eyes look like one big vein and your hairstyle makes you look like a reject from a second-grade class, circa 1976. You would give a week's pay for one of the following: home time, a doughnut and somewhere to be alone, or a time machine so that you can go back to last night and change the fact that you went out. You scare small children in the street just by walking past them. ***** 5-star hangover You have a second heartbeat in your head, which is actually annoying the employee sitting next to you. Vodka vapor is seeping out of every pore and making you dizzy. You still have toothpaste crust in the corners of your mouth from brushing your teeth. Your body has lost the ability to generate saliva, so your tongue is suffocating you. You'd cry but that would take the last drop of moisture left in your body. Death seems pretty good right now. Your boss doesn't even get mad at you and your co-workers think that your dog just died because you look so pathetic. You should have called in sick because, let's face it, all you can manage to do is breathe... very gently. ****** 6-star hangover You arrive home and climb into bed. Sleep comes instantly, as you were fighting it all the way home in the taxi. You get about two hours of sleep until the noises inside your head wake you up. You notice that your bed has been cleared for takeoff and is flying relentlessly around the room. No matter what you do now, you're going to vomit. You stumble out of bed and now find that your room is in a yacht, fully sailing. After walking along the skirting boards on alternating walls, knocking off all the pictures, you find the toilet. If you are lucky, you remember to lift the lid before you spontaneously explode and wake the whole house up with your impersonation of walrus mating calls. You sit there on the floor in your undies, cuddling the only friend in the world you have left (the toilet), randomly continuing to make the walrus noises, spitting and farting. Help usually comes at this stage, even if it is short-lived. With your stomach totally empty, your spontaneous eruptions have died down to 15-minute intervals, but your body won't relent. You are convinced that you are starting to turn yourself inside out and swear that you saw your tonsils shoot out of your mouth on the last occasion. It is now dawn and you pass by your disgusted partner getting up for the day, as you try to climb into bed. She abuses you again for trying to get into bed with lumpy bits of dried vomit in your hair. You reluctantly accept her advice and take a shower. Work is simply not an option. The whole day is spent trying to avoid anything that might make you sick again, like moving. You vow never to touch a drop of alcohol again, and who knows, for the next two or three hours you might even succeed.

Fears regarding the spread of the deadly Ebola virus following an outbreak in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone prompted governments around the world to regulate travel from and within West Africa. Travel bans, airport health screenings, closed borders, and traveler quarantines were among the policies implemented. International organizations argue such restrictions drive possibly symptomatic travelers to illegally bypass borders and encourage dishonesty in the exit screening process.
Increasing numbers of Westerners heading to Syria and Iraq to join jihadist organizations like ISIS have governments concerned about possible attacks at home by returning fighters. Several thousand fighters from Europe and other Western countries are believed among the foreign nationals involved in conflicts in Syria and Iraq. Lawmakers scrambled in 2014 to respond with new policies, including seizing passports, stripping citizenship, and criminalizing travel to "no go" zones.

LOS ANGELES — To track Christopher Dorner, police from dozens of agencies chased tips across multiple states and into Mexico. But it appears now that he found a hiding place where searchers were thickest.
It is unclear how long Dorner, 33, was hunkered down in the cabin in the snowy mountains near Big Bear, Calif. But the cabin was so close to the command post and to an adjacent media area that countless police and reporters would have fallen in his line of vision.
Questions abounded Wednesday about how Dorner managed to evade capture at the very center of the manhunt, a day after he apparently died in another cabin nearby during a police siege.
Authorities are trying to confirm whether charred remains found in the cabin, which caught fire after police lobbed incendiary tear gas inside, belong to Dorner. Authorities declared the manhunt over Wednesday.
Dorner, a former LAPD officer embittered by his firing, killed the daughter of a retired LAPD captain, her fiance and two law officers during a nine-day rampage, police say. On Feb. 7, authorities found the smoking wreckage of Dorner's Nissan Titan in the Big Bear area.
San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department officials said the search included more than 600 cabins over eight square miles in the Big Bear area, where many of the structures are empty vacation homes. But Jeanne Kelly, who lives blocks from where Dorner was apparently holed up, said searchers never knocked on her door.
"I think if they searched every house, they probably would've found him," said Kelly, 61.
At a news conference Wednesday, sheriff's officials said deputies checked the general area extensively and they did not identify signs of forced entry at that particular cabin.
On Tuesday morning, two housecleaners entered the condominium where Dorner was hiding. Police say Dorner tied them up, then stole a Nissan.
California Department of Fish and Wildlife spokesman Andrew Hughan said game wardens spotted Dorner tailgating a school bus. He said Dorner lost the wardens, then crashed into a snow berm.
Rick Heltebrake, a ranger at a Boy Scout camp, said he was driving with his Dalmation when he saw movement in the trees. The man had an assault rifle. Heltebrake knew it was Dorner.
"He came at me with his gun leveled at my head," Heltebrake said. "I stopped, put my truck in park, raised my hands, and he said, 'I don't want to hurt you, just get out, start walking up the road and take your dog.' "
Authorities chased Dorner into a Seven Oaks Road cabin amid a massive gun battle. A San Bernardino County deputy was killed and another injured.
Law enforcement officers lobbed conventional tear gas into the cabin, but when Dorner failed to emerge they used CS gas canisters, a more intense weapon known to start fires, and sent in a demolition vehicle. The cabin caught fire.
San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said deputies did not purposely burn down the cabin. He said they deployed the gas canister after they were left with no other options.

here it is KJV Jhn 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. ESV Jhn 5:14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you." N LTJhn 5:14 But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, "Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you."
Hebrews 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? Mat 12:31 Because of this, I say to you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men, but the blasphemy concerning the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
I have considered that these two verses are not speaking to the same people, nor are they speaking of the same sin.
The verse in Mathew seems to be to Pharasees who do not believe Jesus is the Christ.
The verse in Hebrews is speaking to those who have been converted to Christianity and then later 'trampled the blood of Christ underfoot' by converting back to animal sacrifices.
Just an observation Iv'e made.
so many work to gain acceptance and it is without faith , it must be faith with works , which is the Holy Spirit working in you , to me the Holy Spirit is the Father and Son together as ONE
Quote from: rosered on November 02, 2008, 07:29:55 PM here it is KJV Jhn 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. ESV Jhn 5:14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you." N LTJhn 5:14 But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, "Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you."I don't think that Jesus was asking/demanding sinless perfection in his own strength, particularly having in the back of His Mind that the new birth was months away from being available as well as being filled with the Holy Spirit, being cleansed by the Blood and being able to participate in the Bread and Cup daily as well with all of the temporal and heavenly benefits of that, etc. I have a strong feeling that particular details were left out of the account that aren't any of our business about a particular sin that was being dealt with, whether gluttony, masturbation, wearing his feelings on his sleeves and barking at the moon over every little self determined injustice from others, stealing, venting at a particularly beautiful loved one to him, perhaps neglecting to pray since the prophet Samuel indicating something sinful in setting aside prayer, mouthing off at God for his lot in life, some particular of the Mosaic law that we'd recognize these days as a hygiene issue, or neglecting a vow he'd made to God that if God ever healed him, then...., etc. I believe that Jesus was putting His finger on something in particular in the guy's life and was telling him that he'd just gotten his healing, things are looking up for him, so don't screw this or that up with that temper or by getting tossed in jail for stealing, in some other way opening the door to the devil, or whatever. Or perhaps it was a warning similar to God's warning to Cain that sin -- a particular sin -- was at the door, but he should master it. The Pharisees with their agendas against Jesus might have had bribery and filling his mouth with slander to try to expedite matters in their plans against Him. The fundamentalist idea that Jesus was warning him that if he ever missed the mark then he'd die of Aids doesn't really work for me any more. A habit, a vow, a sanitation issue, or something was just around the corner that in his mind might have morally been a gray area. Something of this nature is more likely what Jesus was appealing to him regarding. Perhaps Jesus was telling him to quit lying about how he got what Jesus had to heal him of. Some ol' lying war story was very likely not very cute to the Lord if it allowed him to be puffed up around others. It could have been anything, but the sense of it being something in particular that was being addressed is too clear to me from the passage.
Quote from: rosered on November 03, 2008, 05:30:55 PMso many work to gain acceptance and it is without faith , it must be faith with works , which is the Holy Spirit working in you , to me the Holy Spirit is the Father and Son together as ONEExactly.And when you leave out (complete) faith, you basicly reverted to sacrifices....
yup, it is a command, and He provided the way, I don't mean this in any disrespect to the Word of Jesus, I look at it as being a goal. Be easy on me!k
But aren't 'good works' exactly the same? Or doubts that the blood of Jesus was not enough for all/your own sins?I think it greately depends on how strict the rules are applied. If extremely strict then all, except Jesus ofcourse, will suffer the second death.Even the most devoted person gets dirty during his/her lifetime. I think it will get very busy in the showers of salvation...
The most important point you just made is that the unpardonable is pardonable. It may take a while but it will be forgiven.
Do you think it is possible to do the unforgivale sin ?, when you know the Truth , that is the Warning ,it can be done in ignorance though blaspheming His Holy Name is upholding the Law yet breaking it too that is a hypocricy , and an evil work being done to me
Now I know the word of God is/can mean perpetual [anion] so it may be a consistant event that applys to all times and all peoples because Gods Word is unchangable /permanant /continuous ...
Being worried that you may have committed this sin is proof that you have not.
The only way people do not get Aionian life is by not accepting Jesus as Saviour. If you are worried you have committed the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit then you are concerned for your salvation. Thus the Spirit is still prodding you and drawing you. The blasphemy is denying the Spirit or not believing the Spirit.

Concord bans mom from praying at steps of school each morning
Urena, an anti-school-bullying activist, began arriving before school and praying after hearing reports that bullets had been found in a school washroom in February.
"We sent an open records request to the school district, asking them for copies of any meeting minutes or any sort of documents which gave this woman permission to pray on school property," said Rebecca Markert, a Freedom From Religion Foundation staff attorney.
"There is no document giving Ms. Urena permission to pray on school property," wrote Rath.
Upon hearing that the schools had not given the woman permission to pray at the school, the foundation argued that the issue was its failure to stop her.
A lawyer for a group that defends religious speech says if the school district didn't initially object to Urena speaking at the Concord High front door, and later responded to the content of her speech, then it has engaged in illegal viewpoint discrimination.
"To be fair to all the kids in the school, it is probably best for the principal to say that she shouldn't be speaking out like this and proselytizing on school grounds," Ardinger said. "The best mode of action was to tell her to cool it."
School Board member Clint Cogswell said shutting off the prayers at the school door isn't a restriction on religious rights.
"We had, at one time, a group that came in the morning, and they'd have a prayer meeting and hold hands in a circle and nobody had a problem with that," Cogswell said. "I think if someone went on the steps and started reading the Gettysburg Address, we'd have to weigh the disruption it might cause."
Sharp of the pro-prayer Alliance Defending Freedom says the group hasn't decided whether to take up Urena's cause.

Yanks welcome Tigers to open ALDS rematch
Nova, Verlander ready to square off at Yankee Stadium
That's because Nova (3-0, 3.79 ERA) has drawn the Tigers' reigning American League Cy Young Award winner as his mound opponent in the opener of the three-game weekend series, a rematch of last year's AL Division Series won by Detroit.
The Yankees have scored six, 11 and six runs in Nova's three starts, and Nova has been effective, allowing two earned runs in seven innings against the Orioles, four earned runs in six innings against the Angels and two earned runs in six innings against the Red Sox.
With Justin Verlander (2-1, 1.72 ERA in four starts) pitching for the Tigers, runs are likely to be harder to come by for the Bronx Bombers.
Verlander pitched six innings in his last start when he got the win in a 3-2 victory over the Rangers on Saturday and said he doesn't plan on that becoming the norm.
"I'm obviously not satisfied with just throwing six, but I made my pitches when I needed to, kept them off-balance and we got the win," he said.
At the same time, Nova will face a monumental challenge against a Tigers lineup featuring the Miguel Cabrera-Prince Fielder duo as one of the top 3-4 combinations in baseball.
"They're probably as good as it's going to get," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Those guys can really swing the bats."
In addition to being one of the most feared hitters in the game, Fielder offers protection for Cabrera, making it difficult for opposing pitchers to try to pitch around him.
"[Fielder] adds a lot to that lineup," Girardi said. "I've always admired the way he plays the game. He plays hard, he plays the game the right way."
Tigers: Hitting a rough patch
The Tigers' 5-4 loss to the Mariners on Thursday was their fourth straight and sixth in seven games and dropped their record to 10-9. They were 9-3 on April 19 but lost three of four to the Rangers and three straight to the Mariners.
"We're just in a little bit of a rut," Verlander said. "It seems like everything's going the other guys' way and not our way. That's just kind of what ends up happening when things aren't going right, it really doesn't go right. The bright side is we're still [10-9] and pretty much tied for first. ... We've been playing [poorly], so it's time to turn it around. We can't sit here and do this all year. We're not just going to fall into the division championship. It doesn't happen that way. We've got to start playing some baseball."
Cabrera had a career .455 batting average against the Mariners, second best among all active Major League players, before going 0-for-4 in Wednesday's game. Cabrera went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run on Thursday.
Yankees: Jeter still streaking
Shortstop Derek Jeter had two more hits Wednesday against the Rangers, extending his hitting streak to 15 games and raising his batting average to .420.
"He's amazing," third baseman Alex Rodriguez said. "You see him in batting practice, and the ball's jumping off his bat to all fields. When you go 10-15 rows up in batting practice to all fields, that's pretty impressive. I think whatever he was doing in the second half [last year], he's just building on this year."
Since blowing the save in the season opener at Tampa Bay, allowing two runs and five of his six batters faced to reach, closer Mariano Rivera has retired 16 of his last 18 batters faced with six strikeouts and four saves in four chances in his last six outings.
Worth noting
Tigers relief pitchers have combined to compile a 6-1 record, 3.39 ERA (69 innings, 26 earned runs) and 60 strikeouts this season. Tigers relievers have posted a 2.45 ERA (29 1/3 innings, eight earned runs) over the club's last six games.
Girardi said he doesn't mind playing so many strong teams early in the season. "Competition brings the best out in people, so I like that," Girardi said. "It seems like each series, it doesn't get any easier and we're going through a lot of tough teams right now. It's a good matchup. There's been a few good matchups the past few days."

Mets can't back Mejia's quality start in Miami
Pitching through pain, hurler keeps club in it; Young just misses homer
MIAMI -- To generalize, the Mets did not trade outfielder Marlon Byrd -- or any of their players, for that matter -- prior to Wednesday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, out of respect for their desire to remain competitive. With Byrd, the Mets knew they had a chance at least to stick in the middle of the National League East pack over the season's final two months. Without him, that chance seemed far slimmer.
So it was frustrating for the Mets to lose their first game after the Deadline, dropping a 3-2 decision to the Marlins on a night when Jenrry Mejia's second start of the season could not match the quality of his first. Byrd did his part, finishing 2-for-4, but many of his teammates did not.
"I've been through these days a lot," manager Terry Collins said. "I'm glad Marlon's still here. I'm glad Bobby Parnell's still here and everybody else that was rumored. I'm glad they're all still here, because we're playing pretty good and I want to continue it."
Coming off a brilliant debut that saw him strike out seven Nationals batters over seven shutout innings, Mejia was noticeably less sharp from the start of Wednesday's game. Though he used a double play to erase one of his two baserunners in the first inning, Mejia cracked for Jake Marisnick's solo homer in the second, then consecutive sacrifice flies from Placido Polanco and Giancarlo Stanton in the third.
From there, Mejia grew stout, whiffing four batters over three additional scoreless innings and departing after six. The end result -- three runs in six innings -- was a quality start, despite some physical discomfort in the middle innings.
Mejia has been playing with bone spurs in his right elbow, which will require offseason surgery. But doctors have advised him that he can pitch in the interim, provided he can bear the pain.
"I felt something, but it doesn't bother me," said Mejia, who spoke briefly with Collins and trainer Ray Ramirez after shaking his arm loose at one point during the game. "Sometimes I feel it, but it's not going to bother me. I feel pretty good."
As Mejia learned also, quality starts are a relative statistic. Just ask Marlins pitcher Henderson Alvarez, who used three double plays to his advantage in holding the Mets to a single run -- Ike Davis' RBI double in the sixth, which plated Byrd. Alvarez lasted 7 1/3 innings before a second, inherited run scored after he left the game. Though the Mets put at least one runner on base every inning after the first, even placing two men on with no outs in the second, they could not string together a multi-run rally.
Their greatest regret may have come in the third, when Eric Young Jr. skied a ball to deep right-center field, where it appeared to hit the top of the wall and bounce back into play. Following a lengthy video review, umpires stuck with their original ruling of a two-out triple. Young did not score.
"I couldn't tell when it first hit," said center fielder Marisnick. "It looked like it came back in, from my view. That's how I played it. It looked like it hit the top of the wall and popped back in."
As a result, the Mets fell in danger of losing or tying their fourth consecutive series against the last-place Marlins. Matt Harvey will take the mound Thursday afternoon in an attempt to give New York the series victory.
But Collins' players could at least take solace in the fact that when they arrive at Marlins Park on Thursday morning, they will do so with the same 25 guys who lost Wednesday's game. Byrd and Parnell will be there, as will David Wright, who tweaked his right hamstring but expects to play Thursday. And Mejia and Young and right on down the line -- from the players with the deepest roots in the organization to those with the shallowest.
It did not necessarily have to be that way -- as Collins noted, "If stuff happens, you've got to adjust."
In one sense, the Mets even hope it will be different in the future.
"I'm just hoping that next year at this time we're in the hunt," Collins said. "And our names are being mentioned as trying to get somebody who can help us win."
