49 U.S. Code § 45301 - General provisions
prev | next
(a) Schedule of Fees.— The Administrator shall establish a schedule of new fees, and a collection process for such fees, for the following services provided by the Administration:
(1) Air traffic control and related services provided to aircraft other than military and civilian aircraft of the United States government [1] or of a foreign government that neither take off from, nor land in, the United States.
(2) Services (other than air traffic control services) provided to a foreign government or services provided to any entity obtaining services outside the United States, except that the Administrator shall not impose fees in any manner for production-certification related service performed outside the United States pertaining to aeronautical products manufactured outside the United States.
(b) Establishment and Adjustment of Fees.—
(1) In general.— In establishing and adjusting fees under this section, the Administrator shall ensure that the fees are reasonably related to the Administration's costs, as determined by the Administrator, of providing the services rendered.
(2) Services for which costs may be recovered.— Services for which costs may be recovered under this section include the costs of air traffic control, navigation, weather services, training, and emergency services that are available to facilitate safe transportation over the United States and the costs of other services provided by the Administrator, or by programs financed by the Administrator, to flights that neither take off nor land in the United States.
(3) Limitations on judicial review.— Notwithstanding section 702 of title 5 or any other provision of law, the following actions and other matters shall not be subject to judicial review:
(B) The validity of a determination of costs by the Administrator under paragraph (1), and the processes and procedures applied by the Administrator when reaching such determination.
(4) Aircraft altitude.— Nothing in this section shall require the Administrator to take into account aircraft altitude in establishing any fee for aircraft operations in en route or oceanic airspace.
(c) Use of Experts and Consultants.— In developing the system, the Administrator may consult with such nongovernmental experts as the Administrator may employ and the Administrator may utilize the services of experts and consultants under section 3109 of title 5 without regard to the limitation imposed by the last sentence of section 3109(b) of such title, and may contract on a sole source basis, notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the Administrator may retain such experts under a contract awarded on a basis other than a competitive basis and without regard to any such provisions requiring competitive bidding or precluding sole source contract authority.
(d) Production-Certification Related Service Defined.— In this section, the term "production-certification related service" has the meaning given that term in appendix C of part 187 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations.
(e) Adjustment of Fees.— In addition to adjustments under subsection (b), the Administrator may periodically adjust the fees established under this section.

Is it possible that the U.S. governments response to the 9/11 attacks has served al-Qaeda interests? Despite the hype, U.S. law-enforcement officials have found little evidence of serious terrorist activities inside the country, compelling them to escalate their use of prosecution and entrapment to justify their enormous budgets.

Kids ages 12 and under who stay at least two nights in Keystone's lodging get free lift tickets for their entire stay. The ski resort said Thursday that through the first four months of its season, it has awarded about 22,000 kids ski free days. Keystone's season ends April 7.
The offer is saving families money. The walk-up price at the ticket window for a child lift ticket for Friday is $64.
Keystone is operated by Vail Resorts Inc., whose four Colorado resorts had more than 4.8 million skier visits last season. The company also has resorts in the Lake Tahoe area, Michigan and Minnesota.

Chris Shellcroft from LakeShowLife.com said this:
...For those keeping score at home this is about the fourth incident Barnes has been involved in during his first 365 days as a Laker. First there was the summer league slap. Next came the domestic dispute in NorCal. During the regular season Barnes was suspend for game after mixing it up with the Mavs. And just to bookend his first year in Los Angeles Barnes comes full circle with another summer league altercation.
Pretty gnarly stuff. After how the team exited in the post-season, this recent episode won't reflect well with the organization.
First came the NBA lockout and now possibly a Matt Barnes lockup. Good times.

The Moon, is Earth's only natural satellite, and is the sixth largest natural satellite in the solar system. The moon first appeared in GTA III, and has been in every game since then. It is assumed that the moon revolves around earth, like in real life. However, the moon is never referred to as doing so in any game, and it shows as a static image in all games since GTA III, fading into view at dusk and dissappearing in the same way in the morning. Also, the moon never goes through phases as it always appears as a full moon. There is no way of breaking through the atmosphere in the game to get to the moon (unless it's a Mod), because it is just an image. The moon is a helpful tool to navigate since it gives some light to dark rural areas such as Back O' Beyond in San Andreas. It should be noted the GTA IV version of the moon is not as detailed and bright as in past games. In GTA San Andreas shooting the moon with a Sniper Rifle will cause it to change its dimension.
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, the newest PC version update adds the libration of the moon.

Best twin stroller ever!!!
May 1, 2016
This stroller has saved my butt as a twin mom! It is light enough to take in and out of the trunk many times a day, the seats fold back which is perfect for when the twins fall asleep, and it's not very wide at all so I fit everywhere I go. I actually push the babies through my sisters house (she has tile) to get to her back yard and I can squeeze easily between the narrow hallways and doorways. Plus it is well made and stylish, I actually get compliments on it while out around town. I have spent months, literally, looking at twin strollers and I am very grateful I found this. The best part is that my babies can sit next to each other and look at each other which would make any mom happy. :)
Narrow, seats tilt back, lightweight

Best Uses:
Walks in the park, doctors appointments, quick and long errands

Just what I was looking for!
August 17, 2015
This is a fantastic stroller, I have a 35 month old and a 15 month old. They love it, even my oldest climbs into it voluntarily. Took some getting used to how to open and close with flip flops on, but I figured it out. Shade cover isn't as big as my single umbrella stroller, but I'm okay with that. It maneuvers great, I can hang bags on it with out it falling over (even with the kids not in it) and there is plenty of room for all of my stuff. Also it is narrow enough to get through a regular doorway. I can't wait to take this to Disney, because it is going to be so much easier than taking our big system double stroller. Thank you Maclaren for making a practical double stroller that is great for travel!

Great lightweight double stroller
June 29, 2015
We bought this stroller to take with us to Europe, and then to continue using back at home in NYC. We have a 4.5 year old and an almost 2 year old, so we needed something that we could grow into. As far as I can tell, the Maclaren has the highest weight capacity (55 lbs per seat) of strollers in the same category. It was also important to us to have a lightweight, umbrella-fold double stroller for our trip -- it was great in the airport and even navigated well on the sidewalks of the bigger cities we visited in Italy. My older daughter was comfortable in it, even though her legs were a little long for the seat. The kids both napped well in it. The harnesses are substantial and easy to use. The folding and locking mechanisms are really well made. The volume of storage space underneath is great for an umbrella stroller. And it rides nicely, even when weighed down by two heavy kids. I also love the denim material -- it's really durable and hides a lot of dirt! The two things I'd like to see differently on this stroller in the future are: 1) a more substantial sunshade; the shades on this one are a bit of a joke because they don't come out far enough to really cover more than the child's (upper) face, and 2) slightly larger wheels to make sidewalk bumps not so bumpy.

So cute and lightweight!

It's exactly what I was looking for - lightweight twin stroller that's easy. I had to go for the limited edition denim. Super cute and looks like it will be very durable.

Great Double Stroller
October 14, 2014
I purchased this stroller for an upcoming trip to disney world with my two and four year old. I have used it for a few trips to the mall and it has been great. The quality seems a lot better than our previous double stroller and it is much easier to push. The handles are tall enough for my husband to push without bending, which has been a problem in the past. It is easy to fold and fits easily in the trunk of my SUV and car.

The BEST
September 25, 2014
This is my 4th baby and I have owned and or tried every and all brands of carriages. The citi mini is by far the best! It comes assembled, snaps open and it's ready to go. It moves smoothly and is so extremely spacious and comfortable for the child. Best part? It's extremely easy to fold, very light and doesn't take up my entire trunk. By far the BEST carriage yet!."
Very Pleased

McClaren Lives up to the hype
March 25, 2014
We have had the stroller only a week now and it is amazing. I have no problems getting it through doors. It glides easy on most surfaces. The kids enjoy seeing each other. The recline function is wonderful. It's a sleek design. I'm just grateful it was everything I hoped it would be. I had a friend tell me "McClaren ' s are expensive but you get what you pay for" well. .Amen. I did incur some shopping obstacles but not site if that was Albee ' s ebbs or UPS. My package was unaccounted for for 5 days. But it showed up we he's away so I guess it was moving that whole time. The only thing I'd recommend is you getting as much practice time in with the functionality of it before you take it somewhere and expect to just figure it out. Especially if you live on a timed schedule as do I with twins and a year old.

Folds compactly. Perfect size! Best baby purchase.
October 14, 2013
I love this stroller. We got it for our 4 month old and 20 month old and were pleasantly surprised by its size and ease of use. It easily fits through doorways. It folds in a fluid manner. You could fit a smaller size diaper bag below, but it's balanced so well that you could hang your bag on the handle while you push. We took it all over New Orleans which has bumpy sidewalks and it handled great. It is definitely worth the price.
The handles are at the perfect height. It's to fold up.
Storage below is a bit small, but so much better than most double strollers.
Best Uses:
Every day use.

Love this product for my 1 & 4 year old boys! Its very light weight and very easy to open & close. It is also very easy to maneuver. Love that it came with a rain guard! Albee Baby provided me with the best price for this product and very fast shipping. I would recommend this site and product to anyone!
lightweight, easy to maneuver, easy to open & close, safety harnesses, comes with rain guard

Love this stroller. It is compact, manageable, and easy to move around with. My first troller was a tandem ( front/back) stroller, bulky, heavy, and took up my entire trunk. this stroller leaves me space to actually purchase items and place then in the trunk when I go shopping. It's easy to fold, and manuever around in tight spacs.

Best Stroller for Twins

Fits in a Prius
April 8, 2013
I had a very difficult time finding a quality double stroller that would fit in the hatchback of my Prius. This one does with room for groceries or small suitcases. My 3 year old and infant love the stroller. My 3 year old initially found the seat much more shallow (less room for his bottom) than our other strollers, but has adjusted. We bought the beverage holder separately as there isn't any other space to safely store a beverage. I would highly recommend this stroller.
Well made, versatile, compact
Cup holder should be included, sun visors could be larger

Love the compact size of this stroller. Folds up nice and small, yet when it is open my girls have lots of room to move

almost perfect
March 20, 2013
I can finally fit through the door, but I wish the stroller was a little simpler.
The width of the stroller is a huge benefit.
The reclining mechanism is too complex and is not fixed. When my kids lean forward the seat back go with them, so my two years can lean forward and drag his feet on the ground. The stroller would be much better if the seatback was fixed. The sunshade would be better without the pockets which make it too heavy. The harness button is too complicated and difficult to push. The harness straps are entirely too long, so too much extra in the way, and extremely difficult to adjust.

It is better than I had expected. I thought that the adjusting of the belts to recline the seats would be cumbersome but they are easy to use and work great.

MIAMI (AP) -- Tropical Storm Arthur has formed off the central Florida coast, becoming the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami says a tropical storm watch is in effect for the state's east coast, from Fort Pierce to Flagler Beach.
The storm's maximum sustained winds late Tuesday morning are about 40 mph (65 kph). The center says Arthur is expected to strengthen in the next 48 hours. The storm is forecast to produce rainfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches, mainly across the eastern Florida peninsula.
The storm is centered about 95 miles (155 kilometers) southeast of Cape Canaveral and is moving northwest at 2 mph (4 kph).

Sandy Highlights the Wealth Gap, Forces Rich to Drink Good Wine
A hurricane can be the ultimate equalizer. No matter where on the socio-economic spectrum they stood before the storm, its victims afterward had many of the same needs: food, shelter, electricity and flushable toilets. But some "necessities" are of a more sophisticated nature.

AOPA Live >>
It's a great day for some solo takeoffs and landings. Traffic is light, and so are the winds as you preflight your trainer, a Piper Cherokee Warrior II, pausing briefly to admire the airport's crown jewel, a classic Cessna 195 taildragger, as it also heads out for an early morning flight.
Preflight inspection completed, you attach the towbar to the nose strut and ease the airplane from its tiedown spot, stopping well away from neighboring aircraft for engine start.
Pre-takeoff checks are good and the engine runup is perfect. So you scan for traffic and announce your intention to remain in closed traffic, and taxi out for takeoff.
Lined up on the centerline of the 3,000-foot runway, you gradually advance the throttle, adding right rudder to maintain a straight track as the aircraft accelerates. You can feel the control surfaces coming alive as you take a quick glance at the oil-pressure gauge, and then look to the airspeed indicator.
At 55 knots you will rotate, and when airborne, accelerate to V Y, 79 knots.
What's this? Despite what you see outside and what you feel through the yoke and pedals, the airspeed indicator appears to be broken—it's not "coming alive" as it has on previous flights.
Instinctively you give the throttle an extra push—but it's already full forward. Carburetor heat? Off. Magnetos? Set on "both."
This is confusing! The airplane seems ready to fly. But wouldn't it be better to abort the takeoff—not something you have practiced much—and find out what's going on here? The midpoint of the runway is drawing near. What to do? All questions, no time.
That classic taildragger is somewhere in the pattern; now the thought strikes you that you looked over to admire it just before you went to remove the cover from the pitot tube beneath the airplane's left wing. Did you remove it?
Just as the nosewheel is lifting off, you idle the throttle to abort takeoff while there's still plenty of runway ahead, heaving a sigh of relief as the airplane starts to decelerate without the need for serious braking. As you taxi back to your tiedown spot to check the pitot tube cover, you make a mental note of the importance of closely following checklists and limiting distractions during preflight.

More than 1,400 high school students, 40 exhibitors, and an array of static aircraft participated in the eighth annual The Sky's the Limit: Aviation Career Day hosted by MP Aero, Van Nuys Airport, and The Valley Economic Alliance on April 5. Students went on airport tours, played with interactive exhibits, and saw an aircraft display that included the Cirrus VK-30.
Stepping up from a 180-horsepower trainer to a bigger, faster aircraft can be a little intimidating. New systems and cockpit controls are there to greet you, and if you don't know how, or when, to use them, it can be easy to fall behind the airplane quickly. Understanding what each system does goes a long way toward incorporating it into your normal flying duties. Take the Air Safety Institute's Transitioning to High Performance/Complex Aircraft safety quiz now and get a head start on mastering these new concepts. Take the quiz >>

American Airlines has decided to equip all of its A320-family jets with Airbus' new Runway Overrun Prevention System (ROPS) technology. This onboard cockpit technology, which Airbus has developed independently over several years, increases pilots' situational awareness during landing, reduces exposure to runway excursion risk, and provides active protection if necessary. The system computes minimum realistic landing and ground stopping distances while comparing them to available landing distances in real time, considering such factors as runway topography, runway condition, aircraft weight and configuration, wind, and temperature.
FedEx Corp. will buy 14 Boeing 757 passenger jets from United Continental Holdings Inc., with an option to buy another 16, and convert them to carry freight, according to a March 21 regulatory filing reported by Bloomberg. FedEx began buying used 757s six years ago; one of the jets can carry 20 percent more cargo than a Boeing 727 while burning one-third less fuel. Passenger airlines are beginning to sell off the narrowbody twinjets, which Boeing stopped building in 2005. FedEx also has 70 new Boeing 767s and 777s on order, Bloomberg reported.

Plane spotters know some aircraft for their beauty, others for their speed. Long known for neither is a big, blocky single-engine aircraft that screams "utility" from every angle, but has flight capabilities sure to amaze. The Pilatus PC-6 Porter catches the eye and ear simultaneously as you recognize that it is a turbine-powered taildragger—a fact that goes a long way to explain its astonishing short-field takeoff and landing performance. You might see one with a red bull painted on the tail in use to haul a famous skydive team aloft.

Reducing your insurance rates could be easier than you might think. With a few steps you can help control your costs and put more savings back in your wallet. Typical actions you can take to reduce your rates include obtaining an instrument rating, keeping your aircraft in a hangar, participating in a pilot proficiency program (i.e. the FAA Wings program), increasing your flight time, and maintaining a claim-free status for a certain period of time. Not all carriers have the same guidelines for when they will offer a premium reduction. AOPA Insurance Services can help you identify the best policy for your specific needs. Call 800/622-AOPA (2672) and find out how much you can save.
Pilots generally tend to dislike sitting through an oral exam. It doesn't matter if it's for the private pilot certificate, the instrument rating, or the airline transport pilot certificate. Orals are often viewed with trepidation and fear, because it seems like everything is open season. Throw on top of that an oral that is specific to a given airplane, and it is easy to understand why it can be so overwhelming. Read more >>

Question: What is the difference between night time and being able to log night time for the purposes of 14 CFR 61.57 night currency?
Answer: 14 CFR Definitions and Abbreviations defines night time as "the time between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight, as published in the American Air Almanac, converted to local time." The FAA defines night differently for night currency in 14 CFR 61.57(b), which says that in order to act as pilot in command of an aircraft carrying passengers during the time period starting at one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise, a pilot must have completed three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop in the preceding 90 days during the period from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise. Although evening civil twilight and morning civil twilight may be dark, this doesn't mean you can use takeoffs and landings flown during that time toward night currency. As the weather warms up and you find yourself wanting to fly into the evening, take a look at AOPA's subject report on night flying for other questions you might have.

Want to get a pilot off his high horse? Ask him to tell you about Class E airspace. Not just to change the mood during a hangar session. Nowadays the topic is fair game for instrument proficiency work when you consider that Class E airspace may become anchored to substantially more real estate if the announced closure of 149 contract control towers moves forward on June 15.

Having a healthy respect for 14 CFR Part 91—the General Operating and Flight Rules—has kept many an aviator safe on the ground and in flight. And, when it comes to flying in instrument conditions or on an IFR flight plan, having a keen understanding of "the regs" is all the more important.

With the heavy late afternoon rains, the Firestone Indy Lights race was moved late into the night, following the IndyCar race. It wasn't the expected results for the two Andretti cars as Carlos Munoz finished seventh and Sebastian Saavedra dropped out of the race with a broken right front brake rotor.
"I am disappointed with the outcome of the race," said Munoz of his Dialy-Ser entry. "We struggled a lot throughout the weekend and were never very close to the top of the speed charts. We have to use this race as a learning experience and concentrate on the circuits that we have ahead."
"It was a sad race for the whole AFS Racing/Andretti Autosport crew," said Saavedra, who leaped from his fourth-place starting spot into second place on the first lap, but then fell victim to the brake issues. "We have been doing such a job the whole season and this failure really wasn't what we needed because we are very focused on the overall season and championship points. There was an unfortunate situation where the front right brake rotor broke. This is something that is quite unusual, but took us out of the race. I feel bad for the team because we were looking good today. I have to stay focused and keep positive knowing that there are still five races to go and anything can happen. We can't let other points get away from us."

The road carnage on Tanzania roads yesterday claimed the life of another Member of Parliament, prompting angry reactions from his colleagues in Parliament and Chadema party, with North Kigoma legislator Zitto Kabwe saying her untimely death was a blow to the younger generation in politics.
"This is a transition period for the younger generation to take greater role in governing the country and the late Regia Mtema (pictured) above (Special Seats, Chadema) was dedicated to the cause. It is an irreparable loss," Kabwe told The Guardian on Sunday in a phone interview on his way to the scene of the accident.
Coast Regional Police Commander (RPC) Ernest Wandu confirmed the accident, saying Mtema was driving a Toyota Landcruiser with registration number T 266 BFM when she tried to overtake another speeding car.
According to the regional police chief, the accident occurred at Ruvu area in the Coast Region. He added that the deceased lost control of her car, which then overturned, killing her on the spot.
According to the Coast RPC, Mtema was driving towards Chalinze in company of Bernadeta Mtema (45), the late MP's mother, and relatives Rodgers Abdallah (18) a resident of Mbezi Makabe in Dar es Salaam, Teresia Simon (22), Laurence Mtokamba (58), Paulina Changa (19), Peter Beresane all Tabata residents in the city.
The death of the CHADEMA special seats brings to two the number of MPs who have so far died in road accidents in recent years.
Mtema is also the second Chadema MP to perish in a road accident after Chacha Wangwe who died in July 2008. The late Mtema did her primary education at Mchikichini in Dar es Salaam, secondary education at Forodhani before joining Machame Girls for A levels. She graduated with B. Sc Home Economics and Nutrition at the Sokione University of Agriculture in 2006.
She was Chadema principal training officer and youth leader between 2007 and 2010 and was elected member of the general committee in 2009.
On July 29 2008, Chacha Wangwe died in a road accident, travelling to Dar es Salaam from Dodoma where he was attending a parliamentary session as Tarime MP.
On July 29 2008, Chacha Wangwe died in a road accident, travelling to Dar es Salaam from Dodoma where he was attending a parliamentary session as Tarime MP.
In the weeks prior to the accident, Wangwe had publicly accused top partry officials of nepotism, tribalism and misuse of party resources and government stipends.
Wangwe had also announced the previous month that he intended to run for the national party chairmanship in November of that year, leading to a bitter dispute with party chairman Freeman Mbowe, also occasioning his suspension as national vice-chairman.
In August last year, Khamis Silima, Uzini MP died in a fatal road accident on his way to Dodoma to attend the Union parliamentary session.

February weekend is all for youth waterfowl hunters
Hunting season is either closed or soon to close, depending on the zone to which you travel.
However, the season isn't closed for everybody. A special weekend is reserved for the youth of California – Feb. 5-6 to hunt waterfowl anywhere in the state.
No properties are off limits for legal hunting. State and federal refuges will be open to receive youth hunters for this special opportunity.
The reservation date is past for applying for a hunt date at a state-operated refuge. If you don't have access to open, public land or a private club, you can hope your favorite refuge doesn't fill and you can get in after the reservations have been processed.
Word is that most state wildlife areas are vastly underutilized for these hunts, so chances are good of getting in to hunt even without a reservation.
A youth hunter, previously known as a junior hunter, must be accompanied by an adult, but only the youth may carry a firearm and shoot.
The adult chaperone can play bird dog, retrieving downed birds or doing the "quacking" on calls to entice the birds.
While hunt opportunities are limited to the state's youth, all other rules and regulations apply, such as bird limits, number of shot shells allowed, etc.
Crab limits
Many anglers enjoy taking a ride on a party boat out of the numerous ports along California's coastline in hopes of putting fresh crab on the table. The season is open now, and getting limits of crab is more the rule than the exception.
The skipper and deckhand of that party boat have to know what they're allowed to put in the box. That includes the number of crab and size restrictions, and what sex is and isn't allowed.
None of that is the same if you crab out of your own boat.
Commercial boats, for example, aren't allowed to keep female Dungeness crab, but you, on your boat, can.
How can you tell a female crab from a male? First, the female is smaller and less meaty. Secondly, a larger, mature female generally will have a large mass of eggs around its tail.
While it makes sense to return a female crab to the water, you aren't required to release it from your boat.
Current fishing
It's not spring, but the current weather pattern sure looks and feels like it, especially with weeks and weeks of rain and snow. We're certainly not done with the winter wet stuff, so enjoy the good weather. There is good rod-bending action to be found.
American River: With a lack of any real appreciable rain the last couple of weeks, the river has dropped to a decent fishing level. Anglers just aren't going.
If fresh-run steelhead going up the ladder into the hatchery is any indication, there are a bunch of steelies in the river. Just below the hatchery downriver to Sailor Bar, toss a salmon-roe-egg imitation or night crawler, keep it near the bottom, and chances are good you're going to tie into a big, fighting steelhead. Be sure to have your steelhead report card with you.
Jenkinson Lake: Shore fishing around the cove at the second dam usually is red hot, but it's been slow so far this year. The lake is full, which bodes well, and if it's full now, it will remain that way for a while. Trollers, however, are nailing mackinaw up to four pounds by hauling a Needlefish.
Camp Far West: No problem launching if you want to go for a day of boating. The lake is full and going over the spillway. Boating conditions are great; fishing isn't. You might find a bass here and there but nothing to write home about.
Lake Oroville: It was in good shape last year but dropped radically over the summer. It's already looking good for this spring, more than 65 percent, so what might happen by late summer remains to be seen. Fog on this water has deterred most anglers from putting boats on the lake. Those who have, however, have found a decent bass bite by tossing tubes, worms and jigs in purple or brown. Work slow. Fish aren't highly active, and you have to spark their interest to get bit.
Folsom Lake: The good news is that not many people are out there trying, so if you get your boat on the water, you might not have any competition. Drop-shotting a Robo Worm has produced a bite, and the bass are hanging out along creek channel edges. Even those drop-shotting in the North Fork are getting bit by a king salmon now and then.
Port of Sacramento: If you can get near the water of the Port or Deep Water Channel, the region is stuffed with stripers. Even from shore, you can drift a jumbo minnow under a bobber. Trollers are nailing their share, as are those jigging, but live bait generally will easily outfish both.
Get all the way down to the mouth of the Deep Water Channel, then switch to shrimp baits or a gob of pileworms. There has been a pretty good sturgeon bite there and further downstream in the Rio Vista area.
Collins Lake: Leave the boat at home. Shore anglers are hammering trout just about anywhere they cast a line, and a good many rainbows are up to 3½ pounds. Put Power Bait or a crawler off a sliding sinker rig. The lake is full and going over the dam.

I started my day doing breakfast/private performance with Graffiti6/Jamie Scott in the Four Hands Home Lounge with some MIX friends with Benefits.
Again, I have to say "I LOVE MY JOB!" Jamie, Pete and Joe from Grafitti6 (The band's name came from pointing at 2 words randomly from a book.) are SUPER TALENTED & NICE GUYS! They are 'GOOD PEEPS'. They put on on heck of a show in the Four Hands Home Lounge this morning. I highly suggest getting Grafitti6's new album 'Colours' and keep an eye out for them. They are starting a headlining tour in June. Jamie and the crew are definitely dudes on the rise! THEY ROCK!
Click here to check out Graffiti6 in action in the Four Hands Home Lounge!
BTW: Gotta give a SHOUT OUT to their tour manager 'DIXIE' who keeps the wheels turning, literally too! They were catching a flight to Phoenix for a show, and Dixie was taking the van on the road to meet up with them! He gave a thumbs up to Rudy's, for the Breakfast Taco fuel to keep the ride going.

The reviews were not so good for Speed Racer, but I liked it well enough. The graphics did remind me of the television show "Laugh In" with it's loud and vibrant colors. I wish they had played the theme song more, that was a melody that stuck in your head. They had a lot more gun shooting than I remembered from the original Speed Racer show. They did do a bunch of push button B on the steering wheel and the car jumps over or out of danger. The movie had the car doing flips and rolls which seemed a bit of a stretch. Each member of the Racer family had a color. Their room would be that color, their pjs were that color etc. But the real garish use of colors came when the cars raced. It was almost psychedelic. Yes the move was cartoonish but hey I borrowed it from the library so the cost was right.

And here's that list!:
Starting at the top of the hour, I will post your first instruction, followed by 1 more instruction every ten minutes through the hour.
At the top of the second hour. I will post the 7th and final instruction and then you'll have 1 additional hour to finish and post your LOs.
(I will allow a 15 min. grace period for gallery posting purposes. The gallery may slow down when we were all trying to post at once!)
If we have any other technical difficulties, I might also allow a few extra minutes. I will let you know.
Please note that prizes will not be given out to entries posted after this time, although we would still love to see what you have come up with!!
You must post in your GDS member gallery AND link back here in the forum. If you do not post back here I will not know that you have participated and you will not be able to receive the prize. Maybe soon we'll have a Speed Scrap gallery for you to post in! ;)
Some important things to remember to make the Speed Scrap go a bit smoother:

- You can use a template if you want.
- goDigitalScrapbooking products are NOT required, but of course, we love it when you use them!!
- I will re-cap all the instructions again each time I post a new instruction.
- For each instruction there must be a different element. You may not use the same element to fulfill requirements for 2 different instructions.
Please don't stress! Speed scraps are fun. Just take the instructions to mean what YOU think they mean and have fun!!!
PLEASE, PLEASE REMEMBER - post back here when you are done so I will know you are playing along!!

Like 30-33% of Xbox 360 users, I have had the misfortune of experiencing the red ring of death on the front of my Xbox. What this means is that your Xbox 360 is experiencing a hardware malfunction. There are several different ways that are rumored to fix this problem, however I will demonstrate the most widely used method, more commonly known as the "Towel Method"
This method is only temporary, there have been reports of users using this method frequently to keep their Xbox running. I urge that you contact Microsoft customer support and have them mail you an empty box (coffin) to ship your precious console off to Texas where it will be repaired.
Before you watch the movie or view the instructible, note that I have already used the method depicted here on my Xbox successfully, so I can't exactly replicate it (now that it's fixed) for the movie. When I get the Rings again I will redo the movie to show you exactly how it works.
For now enjoy my badly made and extremely corny movie.
Also Important
I don't suck at Guitar Hero, this was only a demonstration where I goofed up once because it was like 2 a.m. when I made the movie. For proof that I don't suck, I direct you to another of my videos. For additional proof of the same song but up close on the fingers, please go here.
Note: for whatever reason, my sound cuts out at the beginning of the movie, but the first sentence is: "Like 30-33% of Xbox 360 owners, I have expiuerenced the red rings of death." Enjoy!

Justin Bieber might want to put the brakes on his reunion with Selena Gomez at least until he has a chance to slice himself a piece of Ke$ha. Because yeah, that could totally happen. In the new issue of "Rolling Stone", Ke$ha admits she'd hit that. To be fair, the magazine brought it up. But she was pretty quick to respond, "Sure. Wait, is he even legal? Could I go to jail for this?" When the interviewer told her he's 18, Ke$ha said, "Ok, then I would. We could go out and buy lottery tickets, vote, play putt-putt golf. All the things that are legal at the age of 18." By the way, Ke$ha is 25.

(a) Civil Action.— If a person does not comply with an order of the Federal Maritime Commission for the payment of reparation, the person to whom the award was made may seek enforcement of the order in a district court of the United States having jurisdiction over the parties.
(b) Parties and Service of Process.— All parties in whose favor the Commission has made an award of reparation by a single order may be joined as plaintiffs, and all other parties in the order may be joined as defendants, in a single action in a judicial district in which any one plaintiff could maintain an action against any one defendant. Service of process against a defendant not found in that district may be made in a district in which any office of that defendant is located or in which any port of call on a regular route operated by that defendant is located. Judgment may be entered for any plaintiff against the defendant liable to that plaintiff.
(c) Nature of Review.— In an action under this section, the findings and order of the Commission are prima facie evidence of the facts stated in the findings and order.
(d) Costs and Attorney Fees.— The plaintiff is not liable for costs of the action or for costs of any subsequent stage of the proceedings unless they accrue on the plaintiff's appeal. A prevailing plaintiff shall be allowed reasonable attorney fees to be assessed and collected as part of the costs of the action.

That blue is very striking with her red hair. I noticed the snakeskin but that blue is my favorite part.

I read your posts quite often.I like the energy of the older women. Sorry but I am sad to see snake skins being featured as an accessory dressing style. -- barbara
