Crabbing on your own is a little work but well worth it
Most anglers rely on any of the numerous party boats to get a limit of crab. Why not? The boat's deckhand does all the work, and the angler reaps the reward of crabs in the sack.
It's not necessary to jump on a commercial party boat to get crab. Depending on where you go, even those with smaller 14-foot aluminum boats can be successful.
I've done a great deal of crabbing at Bodega Bay utilizing my boat, then a 17-foot Klamath. I've pulled a lot of crab in a day of fishing, culling out the smaller crab while retaining the larger.
OK, it takes a little bit of an investment. You need pots and rope long enough to attach to the pot so you can retrieve it. But it's actually a small price, as the items can be used for many years.
A few anglers with larger boats will spend bigger bucks purchasing an electric pot puller similar to a hydraulic puller on larger boats. With this type of equipment, you can drop pots in deeper water, where party boats and commercial anglers drop theirs.
However, if you're limited to hand-pulling the pots, you really want to stay in shallower water, maybe to 50 feet deep. At reachable areas from the boat ramps at Doran and West Side parks, there's a lot of water where pots can be dropped to attract crab.
We've easily pulled 50 or more keeper crab a day inside Bodega Harbor, dropping pots on the edge of the ship channel. Head outside the jetty, and there are good areas to place pots all over the bay.
In a normal day, we'd bait three or four pots, set them where we'd hope crab would be and let them soak for an hour or so. We'd check the pots every hour, culling out the unwanted crab and putting keepers in a bucket. We kept the boat docked in order to make the rotation every hour.
During slack time, we'd be at the campsite cooking that hour's catch. By day's end, there would be a large pile of crab – a mix of rock crab and Dungeness.
You'll see buoys everywhere, by others with their pots out.
You'll get the favored larger Dungeness crab and red rock crab. Some actually prefer red rock to Dungeness, claiming the meat is much sweeter.
While there is a specific season for Dungeness, fishing season for all other species of crab is open year-round.
There is a minimum size limit for all crab so identification of Dungeness vs. other species is crucial. The differences are obvious. The minimum size is six inches for Dungeness crab and four inches for other crab. The Dungeness limit is 10 if you get your own and 35 for other species. On a party boat, the crab limit is six.
The one thing you have to do after a day of crabbing and putting your boat on the trailer is to flush the motor unit with fresh water. Every launch facility I've seen in salt-water regions had a freshwater wash-down. You have to provide your own hose, however.
Give it a try. It's really simple, and you don't have to pay out big bucks to ride on a party boat – where you'll generally get limits, but just Dungeness crab.
Take your own boat. It takes a little work, but you can get so much more, and it really is fun to pull your own crab.
Current fishing
With the last wet weather pattern and the Thanksgiving holiday, fishing was the furthest thing from the minds of many anglers. Most are content with staying indoors, warm and dry.
However, there is good fishing, and it's the time of year to get on the water without much competition.
San Francisco Bay: Boats out of the Emeryville harbor are doing combo tips. Rock cod fishing may not be open, but limits of crab are the rule. Afterward, the boats work the bay waters for stripers and halibut. They nail impressive "butts," too, with a good flattie hitting 25 pounds.
Lake Amador: It may be pay-to-play fishing, but they raise and plant big, impressive cutthroat-rainbow hybrids to attract anglers. While some take a boat, you can do well fishing off the rocks of the dam or the mud bank areas around the spillway. Be sure to have a two-rod stamp on your fishing license. Suspend Power Bait, eggs or a crawler under a bobber with one rod while you cast-retrieve a lure with the second rod. One lure that always seems to work well is, believe it or not, a simple white crappie jig. Some trout have been running 5-6 pounds.
Eagle Lake: With the last series of storms, the weather is cold. This is the time of year when fishing for rainbows is red hot. The lake is shallow to begin with, so all you have to do is be in water no more than 10 feet deep with an orange grub trolled from three to seven feet down.
American River: Not much for catching salmon, but you can go for two- and three-pound steelies. Spinners and mini crawlers will attract, but roe is always a dynamite getter.
Folsom Lake: With the cooler weather and water, many bass have moved into shallower water. Cranks and swimbaits along with jigs and spoons are accounting for bass in depths from 10-30 feet.

There are a few ways to protect the concrete floors in your garage.
Do you fancy a contemporary, traditional or rustic look?
Does your garage door clank and make noise every time you open or close it? Here's how to find and fix common garage door problems.
Angie's Answers
Here's the video I used - I found it pretty helpful:
Garage door spring replacements cost me less than $100 by doing it myself and only took me about 25 minutes. As far as I know, changing out the garage door springs will solve most issues. I found at kit online at a place called garage door nation and just bought that one since they seemed the most legit and included all the extras.
I am usually not good with these types of things. I saved almost $500 by doing it myself.
Hope this helps!
The important thing to look at with the doors you are considering is the Gauge of the door (the thickness of the metal) and the grade of the hardware being used. there are nominal Gauge doors and true Gauge doors, A 25G (G = Gauge) Door is acutually .025 of an inch thick, a nominal 25G door is actually 26G or 27G (thinner) but reinforced to act like a True 25G. A nominal Door is generally weaker and still prone to dents and damage eiser that a true thicker door.
The Hardware is very important, Are you going to get rollers with bearings and a nylon cap (quiet,long life), or a roller that is a plastic wheel on a metal shaft (no Bearings), or a metal wheel (noisy over time).
are you going to get the full body 14g Hinge (strongest and most supportive), or the medium body 16g-18g Hinge (narrower, thinner, not as supportive).
The last thing to consider is the Torsion Spring, from th price you mentioned I am guessing you are gettting custom doors , It is important that the springs you get are meant to last a while ask the companies what cycle spring they are going to provide? the one with the higher cycle life is definatly going to save you money in the future.
Based on experience and actualling working with both companies it is my personal opinion that Raynor provides better products and parts up front with out having to pay more but companies are different everywhere I always recommend asking about these things.
I hope this helped, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Assuming you are talking rollup garage door - issues similar but not as many parts on a tilt-up door.
Many rollup doors in residential use go 30 years or more on original springs.
Generally, they do not need to be replaced till they break. A broken one should be pretty obvious - the door will open very hard because it is being pulled up more at one side than the other, if at all, and one spring will be wound tight while the other will be looser, and usually the break is a visibly obvious one - either a visible break in the main portion of the spring, or the free end that goes into the end plate is broken off. Compare the springs against each other to see they look the same.
Also, if you think a spring is broken but can't see anything wrong, maybe the set screws that hold the end plates tight onthe axle have vibrated loose, relaxing the tension on the spring.
As the door gets older you may need to have a garage door repairman adjust the spring tension tighter if the door starts opening hard or balking at opening, though that is more often a problem with dirty slider track and bearings from dust accumulation, which you can clean with WD40 and then lubricate the side support rollers with motor oil or household oilcan. On lubrication of the slider track there are differences of opinion - some say clean with a non-oily solvent like brake cleaner and leave it clean and ddry so dust does not stick to it, other say oil with a light household oil or WD40. I prefer the latter so the plastic slider does not get worn out sliding on the metal slider track or pole, though it definitely does accumulate an oily dust grunge. The cleaning and lubricating should be done at least yearly - every 3-6 months if you use the door multiple times a day, more often if you are in a real dusty area like the Dust Bowl, the desert, or close to the beach.
I think he is trying to upsell you on something you don't need, or their company policy is neer fix, always replace - some companies are in that mode not, to prevent future call-backs when it does not work.
IF only needs screws, sounds like a good do it yourself job with self-tapping sheet metal screws. Or a Handyman could do for maybe $50-70 if that is all that is needed.
If the weatherstrip is damaged and in on the front edge of the garage door, one other possibility - replace with one like this, or screw a bottom compression type rubber weatherstrip on the bottom of the door - actually work a lot better than the face-mounted ones anyway, in my opinion. Look like this from M-D Building Products and Frost King among others. Can also be used nailed to frame to flap contacts door face as an edge and top weatherstrip -

Jambo, for the week, and let's start with the judiciary, or one particular aspect of it. A few columns ago, I wrote about the ridiculous reasons for court case postponements, and though a recent one isn't quite in this category it's still questionable.
The much watched corruption case facing former Tanzanian envoy to Italy, Costa Mahalu, was adjourned at Kisutu court on the 21st March, and scheduled for April 30th, because the presiding magistrate was apparently attending a seminar in Morogoro.
A valid explanation only if you think seminar attendances take precedence over cases of public interest, and also have a disregard for cost implications that such delays have on the public purse.
There's another implication here of course. Given the fact that the one of the players in this trial was the former Minister for Foreign Affairs, and is now President of the country, conspiracy theorists will welcome every opportunity to capitalise their cause…….as one did in this instance when telling me, "that court case postponement was deliberate you know".
However, even those not given to such thinking might be doubtful if they asked themselves, aren't court duties pre-planned? ….so didn't the magistrate know he'd be working on the day he chose to attend the seminar?.....did he rate one function more important than the other?.... had he lost his calendar?. …or his memory?.
…….Ah ha that's it…. my anti-conspiracy theory is that the seminar was a crash course in memory training, so that's why he forgot to say he 'wouldn't be in at the 'office' that day!.
Anyway, let's leave the problem in limbo, like the legal profession do here, just more examples of inefficiency to impact on development, and who cares that no rational explanations are forthcoming, for any of the irrational trial deferment excuses.
There's another issue we don't get any answers on either, but then few people ask the questions. I'm referring to the long standing parking scandal.
Car parks are a standard amenity, but the thinking behind this operation, appeared to be the same official illogic here, of making comparisons with other countries where none exist.
You can almost hear someone saying, "Hey, you know they charge by the hour for parking in London, why don't we?". Quite forgetting that in the wastelands of shanty town Dar, there were, (and are) barely any debris free flat surfaces on which to park properly, let alone security once you've managed to do so.
The same mindset applied to parking meters. Thirty years ago, a few of these rusting little metal aliens still dotted a town centre landscape un-conducive to their function, as lacking a monitoring system, human or technical, not many motorists I was told put money in them.
In January l998, at home in London, I learnt that the then City Commission, had contracted a private company to operate a car parking system, and was pleased there'd be this much needed facility.
But on returning to Dar, was surprised to see no designated paved areas, or business infrastructure at all, but only randomly sited little wooden ticket kiosks, the kind of eyesore the commission was demolishing when I left.
From the start, the dubious treaty arranged between the City Commission and Tanzania Parking System, or Tanzania Parking Scam, as I continued to call them, (even after their solicitors letter!) was questionable. And given the various un-transparent deals over a decade and a half, and charges of
nepotism in awarding the contract, it's hardly surprising that this sector has evolved into, and remains a shady area today, with motorists not knowing where their payments are going too, and for what purpose.
At times it's been run like a Mafia fiefdom, with auction mart contractors hi-jacking and clamping cars, then demanding huge penalties for various ill defined mis-demeanours.
In 2004, a motorist complained to the Guardian, at paying 96,000sh to retrieve his vehicle after a 'wrong parking' offence.
Without any officially designated parking areas, who defines 'wrong parking', or which bye-law specifies or prohibits it?.
Strange to recall, the one time offence of random parking, was quickly sanctioned when money could be extracted from it, but who benefits, and why weren't even basic requisites, like paved and clearly defined areas a mandatory requisite for parking company operators past and present?
Erratic power supply continues, despite those comments by the Minister and Chief Executive of Tanesco denying load shedding, which is now happening, so let's give this problem a neat descriptive tag.
Some years ago parts of Arusha were hastily renovated for a much hyped business event called the Sullivan summit. One building had been painted at the front, but not the back, and I thought of it as being 'sullivanised'.
Perhaps this idea is applicable to the power issue..…let's see…Executive Director of Tanesco is William Mhando, and Energy Minister William Ngeleja, so all citizens experiencing the 'non-rationing… rationing phenomenon'……. should make a 'kelele' about being 'Williamised'…what do you think?!
……in fact, we can apply it to Ministers who have at least one example under their watch that has underperformed big time.
……..whose call does the Mwenge market/trading centre, with a bus station attached as an afterthought come under? ……Ah yes…Transport Minister Omari Nundu…..and there's so much in this sector that is dirty, chaotic, and not fit for purpose, …. it's been Nundu-ised', but in this instance, with help from Kinondoni Municipality, whose involved officers, should all be sacked.
……..time to close on that satisfying exit line!

What is in this article?:
Embraer is emerging as a dominant manufacturer of light jets as deliveries of the Phenom 300, the Brazilian firm's second, purpose-built business jet, now top 120 units. Operators say the aircraft is fast, fuel efficient and reliable, along with having a roomy interior, offering excellent runway performance and being easy to maintain.
It's been especially attractive to the light jet owner-operator group that historically has flown Beech Premier I/IA or Cessna CJ-series aircraft. One appeal for single-pilot operations is the fact that a typically equipped aircraft can carry 1,140 lb. with full fuel. It can depart a 3,138-ft. runway at MTOW, assuming sea-level standard day conditions. Up at BCA's 5,000-ft. elevation, ISA+20C airport, the aircraft needs only 5,114 ft. of pavement to launch. It can fly 1,891 nm at an average cruise speed of 420 KTAS and land with 100-nm NBAA IFR reserves.
"Range is this aircraft's trump card. I never have to worry about fuel reserves. I've actually flown it from San Diego to Manchester," says Dean Kamen, founder and CEO of Deka Research and Development in Manchester, N.H.
Before buying his Phenom 300 in December 2011, Kamen flew a Premier I/IA and says he was constantly concerned about range versus fuel reserves. He would have been a launch customer for the Hawker 200 (aka Premier II) if it had offered an additional hour of range over the Premier IA.
The Phenom 300 also is a logical step up for Phenom 100 owners needing better runway performance, more speed, more range and more payload. The two models share a common pilot type rating, but differences training is required when upgrading because of the larger sibling's systems, size and performance differences.
"This could be the last aircraft I'll ever need to own. In fact, I fly this airplane more than any airplane I've ever owned," says Jay Obernolte, founder and president of Farsight Studios, a family video game development firm based at Big Bear Lake, Calif. Obernolte routinely operates out of Big Bear Airport (L35), which has an elevation of 6,748 ft., flying considerably longer trips than he could in the Phenom 100 he previously operated because of the Phenom 300's vastly superior hot-and-high airport performance.
Corporate operators also are choosing the Phenom 300 over other light jets, particularly Citation CJs. "It was an easy decision," said one flight department manager who flies two Phenom 300s plus a Dassault Falcon 50EX and a Falcon 2000. "The CJs were too tight, they had turboprop-style, internally serviced toilets, most don't have single-point pressure refueling and they're just too small compared to our Falcons. The two Embraers also have metal work on a par with Dassault's."
The Phenom 300 has received strong endorsement from fleet and fractional ownership operators including Executive AirShare, Flight Options and NetJets. "This aircraft offers comfort, including a wide air-stair door and a wide oval cabin cross-section, efficiency, range and a quiet interior, all things clients like [pro golfer] Tom Watson appreciate," says Keith Plumb, president of Kansas City, Mo.-based Executive AirShare, which operates five Phenom 300s. Plumb also noted that the aircraft is reliable and it was designed with airline-inspired maintenance scheduling. Basic inspection intervals are 600 hr. or 12 months, whichever comes first.
"This is our first new light jet in the fleet and it's 'phenomenal.' It has great runway performance, it's quiet, the air conditioning works great and it has large baggage volume," says Joe Kainrad, Phenom 300 program manager at Cleveland-based Flight Options, which operates more than a dozen such aircraft and has 100 firm orders plus 50 options. "I love the ease of maintenance. It's as if mechanics had inputs to the engineers," says Melanie Nehez, Flight Options Phenom 300 fleet technical manager. The airframe has a fully MSG3-compliant maintenance-friendly design that speeds scheduled maintenance tasks and expedites parts removal and replacement.
In early May, Columbus, Ohio-based NetJets took delivery of the first of 50 Signature Series Phenom 300s it has on order. The fractional provider also has options for another 75 units, representing a total potential investment of $1 billion. This is NetJets' first foray into the light jet market in five years and its first acquisition of an Embraer jet. Industry analysts say that the move represents a strategic shift for NetJets, which had been a large-scale purchaser of Wichita-made business aircraft before it retrenched with the deepening of the recession.
The Phenom 300 has a 28,000 cycle/35,000 hr. economic life that's more in line with jetliner design standards than the 15,000- to 20,000-hr. design life of a typical light jet. Such a comparatively long service life is attractive for charter and fractional ownership operators that typically trade out of their aircraft when they've amassed 8,000 to 12,000 hr. of flight time.
Cessna's CJ4 is the light jet that's the Phenom 300's closest rival. But Phenom 300 operators said they chose the Brazilian jet over the one made in Wichita because of cabin size, superior fuel efficiency and higher ramp presence, along with longer service life, lower maintenance costs and its jetliner heritage.

- "I warned you, you stupid bitch! Stupid fucking bitch!"
- — Catalina.
Against All Odds is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Catalina from outside the Inside Track betting shop in the town of Montgomery in Red County, San Andreas.
Carl and Catalina arrive at the betting shop in Montgomery, having already decided to rob the shop at Catalina's hideout. The two enter the building with Catalina pointing a gun at the female cashier, threatening to kill her if she does not open the back door. The cashier, however, pushes the panic button and an alarm goes off, with Catalina shooting the cashier, who is protected by bullet-proof glass. Catalina, in anger, then kills one of the customers before telling Johnson to open the door and then the safe with satchel charges that she had obtained. After doing so, Carl collects the money from the safe and the two leave. They leave the shop and, after losing the police, return to Catalina's hideout in Fern Ridge where Catalina giving Johnson his share of the money.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get inside the Inside Track Betting Shop.
- Use the satchel to open the safe.
- Get in the car.
- Get to Pay 'n' Spray to lose the Wanted Level.
- Park vehicle inside Pay 'n' Spray.
- Take Catalina back to the hideout.
The reward for completing the mission is $2,000. The mission which would be unlocked upon completion of this mission will depend on which robbery missions have been previously done/haven't been done. The Satchel Charges are now available to buy at the Ammu-Nation ($2,000).

Leahy said a list of the relevant plots provided to Congress does not reflect dozens or, as he said, "let alone 54 as some have suggested."
The NSA's deputy director, John Inglis, said the phone surveillance contributed to disrupting or discovering attacks 12 times. Inglis said the 54 involved both the phone records program and a separate initiative gathering Internet data.

WASHINGTON – Metro's spring break is over. Track work will affect travel on all five rail lines this weekend following a four-week reprieve from single-tracking and off-peak delays.
Metro Forward, the $5.5-billion project that aims to restore the aging infrastructure of the rail system, will resume with work beginning at 10 p.m. on Friday on the Red Line downtown, on the Orange Line in Rosslyn, on the Blue and Yellow lines near Pentagon City and near the northern end of the Green Line in Greenbelt.
All of the work zones will be in place through system-closing on Sunday night.
Red Line
Orange Line
Blue/Yellow Line
Green Line
Overnight closure of The Frederick Douglass Bridge, also known as the South Capitol Street Bridge, will take place Sunday morning from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m.
This closure is for routine testing.
George Washington Parkway Classic 10 Miler and 5K
Runners will overtake the George Washington Memorial Parkway Sunday between Mount Vernon and Old Town Alexandria this weekend for the George Washington Parkway Classic. The 10-Miler will begin near Mount Vernon Estate and end in Old Town at Oronoco Bay Park.
The last mile of the race is dedicated to Officer Peter Laboy who was seriously injured after being shot during a traffic stop on Wilkes Street in late February.
The George Washington Parkway will be closed to accommodate the runners between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m. Segments of the parkway will reopen from south to north as the runners make headway into Old Town.
Follow police direction on the routes near the George Washington Parkway including Collingwood Road, Morningside Lane, Belle View Boulevard, and Belle Haven Road. In Alexandria, the streets that intersect Washington Street closer to the finish line will likely be the last the reopen.
Learn more about the increased security for the race here.
IMF World Bank Meetings
The Cherry Blossoms crowds have eased but the IMF World Bank Meetings this weekend are sure to cause random and unpredictable delays throughout the city. Various streets will be blocked near the World Bank complex downtown.
Limousines and short motorcades will be in constant flux throughout the city, shuttling dignitaries to and from embassies and hotels. As is the case with any police detail, traffic on any of the streets or freeways in and toward Washington will occasionally be stopped as the motorcades pass by. In some cases, roads near, but not on, a motorcade route will be stopped. Therefore it will be possible to experience a delay related to the passage of a motorcade without being in sight of any police activity.
The following streets will be closed through 7 p.m. on Sunday:
The following streets will experience temporary closures through 7 p.m. on Sunday:
Bay Bridge Safety Enhancements
Following a safety study completed in 2012, crews will be improving pavement markings on the westbound span on the Bay Bridge (Route 50/301) this weekend.
Work crews will remove and replace the rumble strips and pavement markings and add new signs on the westbound Bay Bridge to enhance safety measures during "two-way" traffic operations.
The work is scheduled to close the westbound span on Friday and Saturday from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. the following morning and on Sunday from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning. The eastbound span will operate with two-way traffic.
The WTOP Weather Center calls for the potential of strong thunderstorms with high winds Friday night and early Saturday morning which may cause to work to be delayed or postponed. Motorists who plan to travel across the Bay Bridge on Friday night should be prepared for wind warnings or restrictions and follow overhead lane control signals.

By the time the firebombs exploded, "Avalon" was well on his way down from the top of Vail ski area, breaking his trot only long enough to stash empty gas cans beneath a fallen tree.
A half-mile away, the stately Two Elk ski lodge roared into flames, and Avalon - the nom de guerre used by Bill Rodgers, a slightly built, alternative-bookstore owner from Prescott, Ariz. - was making his getaway from one of the nation's most destructive acts of eco-terrorism.
The next day, as tendrils of smoke wafted off the mountaintop, he would rendezvous in Vail with an accomplice known as "Country Girl," and together they drove in his Toyota pickup to a Denver library, where they composed an e-mail communiqué claiming responsibility.
"This action is just a warning," they wrote, explaining their act as a protest against the ski area's expansion plans into terrain thought to be a home of endangered Canada lynx. "Putting profits before Colorado's wildlife will not be tolerated."
A year after a nationwide dragnet solved the mystery behind dozens of eco-terror attacks across the West, Chelsea Dawn Gerlach - a.k.a. Country Girl - and Stanislas Gregory Meyerhoff on Thursday formally pleaded guilty to the 1998 Vail fires in an Oregon federal courtroom.
Gerlach and Meyerhoff, both 29, have joined eight other self-proclaimed eco-saboteurs in admitting their roles in the attacks. All are now awaiting sentences in April.
Newly available court documents, testimony and interviews provide details of the five-year "eco-terror" spree and the breaks that led to the downfall of the secretive, loose-knit clique behind them.
Between 1996 and 2001, a group of about 20 devoted activists who called themselves "the Family" tried to right what they saw as major environmental transgressions by torching government facilities, research buildings, logging and meatpacking companies and even SUVs at a Chevrolet dealership.
It took nearly 10 years of investigation by local, state and federal authorities, a lucky break and a turncoat insider for the FBI to break up the leaderless ring of militant environmentalists.
The blaze at Vail - which caused an estimated $15 million in damage - was the Family's highest-profile achievement: carefully executed, breathtaking in its scale and impact, and responsible for shining the national spotlight on eco-terror.
The group, which often claimed its actions as the work of the Earth Liberation Front, started in 1996 with a failed arson attempt on a Forest Service ranger station in Oregon. But its members became more sophisticated - and destructive - with each ensuing attack.
School for sabotage
Rodgers, who was 33 at the time, had proposed the plan for Vail at one of the gang's irregular meetings, dubbed "book club," according to prosecutors.
Gerlach and one-time boyfriend Meyerhoff had been enlisted for the job, as were Josephine Sunshine Overaker, Rebecca Rubin, Kevin Tubbs and Jake Ferguson.
The week of the October 1998 Vail attack, Rodgers drove his pickup to Colorado with Ferguson, a drifter who had found acceptance among environmental activists.
Gerlach, who first met Rodgers when she was 16 and just getting started in environmental activism, and Meyerhoff, a would-be college student who has since renounced acts of eco-terrorism, followed, participating first in an aborted attack on a Wyoming wild-horse facility.
In a hotel room along the way in Utah, the group assembled what Meyerhoff called "hamburgers": model-rocket fuses that would ignite gas-drenched sponges stuffed into 5-gallon plastic buckets filled with diesel fuel and gasoline.
Rodgers, who chose the name Avalon from a mystical account of the King Arthur legend, literally had written the book on such devices, a photocopied manual for eco-terrorists called "Setting Fires with Electronic Timers."
He later lamented that he had not distributed the manual so others loyal to the cause "would have avoided being arrested," according to an arrest affidavit.
On Oct. 18, Rodgers, Meyerhoff, Gerlach and Ferguson drove a couple of vehicles up the winding dirt road at the ski area to the snow line, where Gerlach's truck got stuck. There, they unloaded the ready-made gas bombs and hid them until the next day.
Discouraged by the distance of the cache from Two Elk lodge, Meyerhoff abandoned the project and headed back to Oregon in Gerlach's truck.
Gerlach, though, stayed behind, and the next day, she dropped Rodgers off at the cache to launch their rampage.
Alone that night on the ski area's mile-and-a-half-long summit ridge, Avalon planted numerous 5-gallon buckets filled with the diesel-gasoline mixture inside Two Elk Lodge, the ski-patrol headquarters, Buffalo's Café and the Camp One snack shack. He also put them beneath the operator shacks of four chairlifts.
Dressed in black, he scampered so stealthily that three elk hunters camped just outside one structure never even heard him.
By 3 a.m., as Avalon trotted down the slopes, the mountaintop already was engulfed in flames; witnesses later said it resembled a volcano.
Authorities were stumped. Even the most promising clues - the gas cans that Rodgers left behind that were found by hunters two years later - had been wiped clean of fingerprints.
Then, a fluke occurrence tipped investigators to Ferguson, and the threads began to unravel.
A break in the case
In 2001, Heather Coburn reported to police in Eugene, Ore., that Ferguson, her housemate, might have stolen her car. She later found it a short distance away and dropped the report.
A few days later, another woman - an environmental activist known as "Sparrow" - went to police and asked to see the stolen-vehicle report as well as that of an unrelated arson attack at a Chevy dealership.
Authorities had never before connected Ferguson to the attacks, but the inquiry alone was enough for an association.
Federal agents tailed Ferguson and, after building a case against him for his involvement in several other cases, in 2004 coerced him to wear a wire to collect evidence against other members of the family.
"I didn't roll," Ferguson told The Seattle Times. "People rolled on me, and I was faced with a situation where I could go to jail for the rest of my life."
Ferguson elicited incriminating comments from Rodgers and Meyerhoff, among others, helping build the case that would bring the Family down.
Prosecutors have not revealed any charges against Ferguson, but observers suggest that they likely are pending his cooperation in the other cases.
"Never did I imagine that things would turn out like this," Rodgers, the ringleader, wrote from jail. "...This is the ultimate betrayal, delivered straight into the hands of my enemies."
After he committed suicide by placing a plastic bag over his head last December, the others, one by one, reached plea deals, many even agreeing to testify against the others to shorten their sentences.
Several who pleaded guilty have requested forgiveness, noting that their fiery eco-terror spree had ended long before authorities caught up with them.
"These acts were motivated by a deep sense of despair and anger at the deteriorating state of the global environment," Gerlach said in court in September. "But I realized years ago that it was not an effective or an appropriate way to effect positive change."
The repentance rings hollow for many.
"Instead of using reason and logic, they used firebombs and destruction," said Robert Jordan, the FBI's special agent in charge in Oregon. "Instead of using peaceful, lawful methods, they used fear and threats."

to give Western Kentucky a 7-0 lead.
North Texas didn't wait long to respond as Byrd scored on a 61-yard touchdown
run on the third play of the ensuing drive.
The Mean Green then took a 17-7 lead midway through the second quarter on a
20-yard touchdown run from Jeremy Brown and a 22-yard field goal from Zach
That lead expanded at the end of the third quarter when Darnell Smith scored
on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Thompson.

through the final period and with 3:30 left took the lead for good on a
21-yard touchdown run from Andrews.

AstroPhoto Insight Magazine Discontinuing
Posted 16 February 2012 - 07:20 AM
Dear Readers,
It is with deep sadness that I must announce that AstroPhoto Insight Magazine, which I started seven years ago as a newsletter, will be discontinued at the end of this year. It has been an incredible seven years during which I have gotten to know some amazing and talented people, many of whom have become my friends. Many personal and business factors contributed to this very difficult decision.
AstroPhoto Insight Magazine was the first publication dedicated to astrophotography. With an eye on the cutting edge, I published the magazine only as a digital publication, an approach that many traditional print magazines adopted years later. AstroPhoto Insight Magazine was also the first astronomy publication – and one of a only a few – that embedded videos in the magazine, creating an interactive publication even before the iPad and other tablets existed.
I want to thank all of our advertisers for their support over the years. I want especially to thank a couple of our long term supporters, Orion Telescopes and Binoculars and QSI Cameras, as well two relatively new supporters, Celestron and Optec Inc. Their support over the years helped us serve the astrophotography community.
More importantly, I want to thank all of the writers who contributed articles, without which there would be no magazine. The magazine has never had staff writers, relying instead on contributions from hobbyists like you. We have been fortunate to have amazing, talented, recognized imagers contributing articles and videos, including Rogelio Bernas Andreas, Warren Keller, Martin Pugh, Ken Crawford, Richard Berry, Ray Gralak, Stan Moore, Craig Stark, Neil Fleming, David Snay, Kevin Dixon, Alan Smallbone, Jonathan Burnett, Sander Pool, Michael Fulbright, Joe Ulowetz, David Haworth and many others. It was an honor to publish the three part series on creating 3D astro-images by Chris Ford, RenderMan Business Director at Pixar.
I strived to publish a world class magazine, and I hope that you have enjoyed it.
AstroPhoto Insight Magazine will close out the year with four more issues, including the always popular Camera and Mount Buyer's Guide issue. If your current subscription ends before the end of the year, you will not be able to renew but will have the option of purchasing individual issues as they are published starting with the March/April 2012 issue.
Those who have never subscribed to AstroPhoto Insight Magazine will have to purchase upcoming issues individually starting with the March/April 2012 issue. We are offering a Back Issue Subscription that allows you to download every issue ever published through the current issue (January/February 2012).
If you have never subscribed to the magazine, or haven't recently renewed your subscription recently, we encourage you to take advantage of the Back Issue Subscription to get the issues you missed at this great price before the magazine's website goes offline on December 31, 2012.
I have enjoyed being part of this great astrophotography community and have appreciated all the positive feedback I received over the years.
Clear and dark skies,
Al Degutis

Rex, we were doing database maintenance last night. The website is available, so you can get the back issue subscription and download all the issues to read during your journey into astrophotography. There are a lot of great articles; as a beginner, I'd start with the autoguiding articles.

I'm planning on getting back into astronomy and astrophotography next spring when I complete grad school and can finally have the free time (and money) to get back into the hobby.
I purchased all the back issues so I can have this resource available when I get started. Thank you for offering this service.

MIFARE decryption software to buy, ten binary and hexadecimal algorithms! I am using the mfocGUI software can get a part of the MIFARE key! You can pay for software or method! Contact: email@example.com

Everything required to get Mifare keys is free.
Mifare keys I need to buy the computing methods of technology to get KEY method we have solved it!
You're welcome?
this program can work in a proxmark3 ?
Why not create a user friendly program for proxmark3 like mfocGUI
I really liked the GUI and is very easy to use!
Mifare key decryption could be built in to the client in such a way that keys are automatically decrypted or accessible as a separate menu option. It just takes time and a little incentive I guess.
The PM3 could have a GUI but I don't see the benefit personally. I see it as a developer tool.
Excluding 'ease of use', why would you want a GUI? What would make the existing client easier to use (more user friendly)?
i just retrived all keys of mifare cards belong to subways smart card in a country in asia. the nested attack works fine .And its free. i think 0xffff is absolutely right.

- Public support for restorative justice processes: effects of provocation, intent and harm
- Author(s)
- Lutchman, Kiri; Sivasubramaniam, Diane; Clow, Kimberley A.
- Abstract
- We tested whether observers' support for restorative justice is contingent on the perception that an offender deserves respectful treatment. In a 2 (Intent: High, Low) x 2 (Harm: High, Low) x 2 (Provocation: High, Low) between-subjects experimental vignette study, we manipulated circumstances surrounding an assault. Results showed that: the offender's intent to assault the victim affected observers' perceptions that the offender deserved to be treated respectfully; participants believed the offender would be treated more respectfully in restorative justice than in court; and participants rated restorative justice more favorably than court on several measures. Implications for restorative justice development are discussed.

Hall remembered for smile, friendly demeanor
The longtime owner of John Hall's True Value Hardware greeted visitors to the store with a smile and an interest in getting to know them, downtown Goshen merchants said.
Hall, 86, died Saturday morning following an illness.
Several downtown business owners said they would greatly miss Hall's presence in the community.
"I know a lot of people looked up to him as the essence of downtown," Ronda Ernsperger, manager at Olympia Candy Kitchen, said Saturday.
After stopping by Olympia for a meal, Hall would always linger by the counter to greet Ernsperger, compliment the food and chat about life, she said.
Scott Woldruff, owner of Woldruff's Footwear in Goshen, remembers Hall as one of the first people he met after moving to the area in 1992.
"John was a people-person," he said, adding that Hall turned strangers into friends quickly.
He was also "a very, very strong merchant," Woldruff said. He had a good work ethic and a great knowledge of his store and products.
Hall originally opened Maley's Variety Store in downtown Goshen in 1957. That business ran until 1970, when he bought Maple City Hardware, later changing the name to John Hall's True Value Hardware.
Maley's sat where the Goshen Antique Mall now is, according to Antique Mall owner Shari Nofziger.
Hall especially liked to chat with Nofziger and her husband about Maley's and what he did there.
"I think people like that he represented the downtown small store owner," she said. "He always took time to talk to you, converse with you, get to know you."
Hall "always had a big smile and when you would walk in he'd always go 'Hey, how's it going?'" said Myron Bontrager, owner of The Electric Brew and pastor at Downtown at 8:08. He made you feel like you were best friends, Bontrager continued.
Hall's obituary is on page A6 of today's paper.

|This article concerns a game that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
- "Do you want me to get my dick out again?!"
- ―Trevor Phillips
Trevor Phillips is one of the three main protagonists in Grand Theft Auto V.
The history about Trevor is that he has a very sketchy background but at some point in his life, Trevor entered the military as a war veteran and an aviator pilot. After his time in the war was over, Trevor met Michael. Both men realized that they had a flare for robbery so Trevor decided to join Michael on heist jobs. Both became majorly successful in several heist jobs.
At some point in time both men had a falling out, causing a major rift in their friendship, (some believe that it was Michael's deal with the FIB that caused said rift).
Events of GTA V
By the events of the game, Trevor is living in a filthy, trash-riddled trailer in the desert of Blaine County next to his best friend Ron, a paranoid conspiracy theorist. Because Trevor ended up spending all of the money that he earned during his robbery days, he needs to get back into the deadly game of robbery.
Trevor has been described as a difficult person to deal with, extreme, impetuous, vengeful, psychotic, unhinged, unpredictable, untamed, infamous, and prone to violent outbursts and destructive rampages - in the second trailer he smashed an unknown person's head into a bar counter and was then seen setting a house on fire and walking out of the area without a care in sight. He does everything in an awful and relentless manner, (much different from Michael). Although Trevor is this kind of person, he is also honest about it and will never show hypocrisy and he will also have his own charm along with his own principals (his principals being different from Michael's). But, Dan Houser has confirmed that Trevor may not be all he seems but is still too horrible to be a hero kind.
Grand Theft Auto series
Relationships With Other Characters
- "Bring me my coffee or I'm gonna cut your arm off!"
- ―Trevor in his own trailer.
Michael - Trevor and Michael grew a likeness for one another after they began to rob several banks back in the day. But somewhere in that time, both men had a falling out which led to a rift in their friendship.
Ron - Ron is Trevor's best buddy, and since Trevor can't have many friends for many reasons, (including the area in which both men live in), he is the closest friend beside Michael. But Ron is always paranoid but terrified to spend time with Trevor, (Ron being a paranoid conspiracy theorist).
Amanda - Amanda doesn't seem to like Trevor. At one point, she tells Michael about her hate for him and tells him not to bring him anywhere near her or the children. At one point in-game, Trevor is seen complementing her breasts, saying "nice new tits by the way!"
Franklin - Trevor and Franklin appeared to meet each other the first time when Michael introduced to each other. Either way, they seem to become very good partners.
The years haven't been kind to Trevor, as he is balding and disheveled and a very dirty person. He is frequently seen wearing a plain and dirty white v-neck, ripped up dirty blue jeans or sweat pants and a pair of black boots to match. He is seen in one screenshot with a different outfit on - a jean jacket with a half buttoned up shirt along with a white undershirt and a pair of blue jeans to match. He also has several cuts on his face along with several tattoos (the famous tattoo of "CUT HERE" with the dotted line going across his neck, a dagger on his lower left arm, a flower on his upper left hand and last but not least, the words fuck on his left fingers and you on his right fingers). Trevor has a very visible scar on his abdomen, it looks to be a knife wound. Also, in some screenshots and during the second Grand Theft Auto V trailer, he is seen wearing a calculator watch on his left wrist. Trevor is average when it comes to weight and build. He isn't overweight, but at the same time, he isn't muscular either. Trevor looks to be based on Sean Connery from the film "The Anderson Tapes".
Skills and attributes
Because he is a former military aviation pilot, he is skilled in both combat and piloting aircraft like helicopters. In the mission Game Informer saw, Trevor was the one that flew the team to the skyscraper they needed to get their target out of. In the aftermath, as the team was pursued by law enforcement helicopters, he proved to be an able pilot under pressure. Trevor is also the master of greed, ambition, and insanity (along with Michael and Franklin), and is seen in many GTA V screenshots performing many challenging (and some illegal) stunts. Some of those stunts include base jumping, jetskiing, murdering, property destruction, and getting chased by the cops.
Like Michael and Franklin, Trevor has a special ability where he can go into a violent rage, while in this rage Trevor can take less damage or inflict more damage to enemies, he also has a special melee attack as well.
Mission appearances
- As one of the protagonists, he appears in almost all missions.
Trevor has had very positive responses from many fans of GTA V and professional video game critics about his "f*ck off!" personality, and extreme behavior. Fans of the series claim Trevor to be a protagonist who you can play and not feel awkward about killing random people. Trevor's grand appearance during the GI demo, is considered an unforgettable one and sets up the character nicely, (the camera is zoomed in on Trevor's face but then zooms out to show him sitting on the toilet fighting constipation while yelling the famous quote, "I need a fucking midwife for this thing!").
Dan Houser's Take on Trevor
"Trevor appeared to us pretty much out of nowhere as the embodiment of another side of criminality – of freedom, and of doing what you want. If Michael was meant to be the idea of some version of criminal control – or some sort of bourgeois criminal who tries to go straight and gets sucked back in – what about the guy who didn't do that? What about the opposite guy? What about the guy who just says 'f--- off' every moment, is relentless, doesn't want to stop taking drugs, doesn't want to stop partying, doesn't want to be told 'no' by anyone, and just completely revels in chaos?"
"Trevor was the other side of the GTA coin, I suppose. He's the person who's driven purely by desire, resentment, no thought for tomorrow whatsoever, completely id rather than ego-driven. Constant partying, constant madness. The only thing he doesn't want to do is stop. He wants to keep going and ride it all to the end. Won't take an insult from anybody. Kills without remorse, like a true psychopath, but very sentimental for the right reasons when it suits him. That seemed like another side of the kind of GTA coin or the GTA world, but very rarely as the protagonist. That seemed an interesting guy to have as a protagonist. Very unlike anyone we've had in a game before. If you began to develop him and Michael and their previous relationships... We wanted this feeling where you start off thinking one's good and the other's awful. Then you get spun the other way. Then you get spun back the first way, until you can't decide."
Character Trailer
- Trevor is the first protagonist in the entire GTA series to have a drug addiction and take drugs at his own will.
- Trevor was the first protagonist in GTA V to have his full name revealed.
- Trevor is the third protagonist in the GTA Series to have military experience, the first being Victor Vance while the second was Niko Bellic.
- As seen in the first gameplay trailer, Trevor has a tattoo on his left arm that reads "R.I.P. Michael". The lower half of the tattoo can be seen while Trevor is talking to Michael, so it is likely dedicated to another Michael. Interestingly, at the bottom of the tattoo is the word "Saint", which may be a reference to Michael Keane, who's nickname was Saint Michael.
- In a CVG interview with Rockstar lead designer Imran Sarwar, it was said that the aforementioned tattoo is a symbol of an angel of death, possibly indicating a previous affiliation with the Angels of Death MC. It is either possible that Trevor is still a member of said motorcycle club, or has "gone nomad", a saying meaning that he has peacefully left the gang. Either way, this would explain Trevor's feud with the Lost MC.
