In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Look for times departing from the San Francisco Ferry Building and arriving in Vallejo, which will be your stop. On the weekdays, ferries run every hour or half hour, with fewer ferries running on the weekend. The ferries that depart from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm are likely to be crowded with commuters, so buy tickets for these spots well in advance. Seating is first come first serve, so plan to arrive at least 30-45 minutes early. You can find the ferry schedule here: https://sanfranciscobayferry.com/route/sffb/vallejo You can buy your ticket at the San Francisco Ferry Building, at 1 Embarcadero, using cash or credit card. Try to buy your ticket at least 1 hour before departure, or earlier if you can. Ticket prices often change, but as of fall 2017, an adult ticket was $14.20. The Ferry Building is large, white building situated on the water just past the end of Market St. You can get there by walking, taking a taxi or ride-sharing service, or public transportation. Once in the building, follow signs for the Vallejo ferry.  If you’re taking the BART, get off at Embarcadero Station.  If you’re using MUNI, the bus service, get off at The Embarcadero and Ferry Building stop.  You can also depart from Pier 41, although much fewer ferries depart from the pier than from the Ferry Building. You’ll sail through the San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay, enjoying some great views as you go. The ride should take about an hour. Once in Vallejo, follow signs for public transportation and wait for the VINE bus to arrive. It should be plain white with “VINE” written in dark red on the side. Get on the northbound bus, which will take you along Hwy 29 and past the Napa Valley towns. Depending on when you get off, you may be riding for 1-1 ½ hours. You can find the VINE route 11 bus schedule here: http://www.ridethevine.com/regional-routes-schedules/route-11 The public transportation route to Napa isn’t structured to accommodate to tourists, but you can definitely still make it work for your purposes. Call wineries or restaurants beforehand to ask where their nearest bus stop. If you’re booking tastings or other activities, give yourself a comfortable cushion in case the bus is running late - try booking a tasting about 15-30 minutes after you estimate you’ll arrive.
Summary: Check the BayLink Ferry schedule. Buy a ferry ticket. Catch the ferry at the Ferry Building. Take the ferry to Vallejo. Get on the VINE bus servicing route 11. Plan to visit wineries along the bus route on the Hwy 29.

When choosing a group to form the association, it may be best to start with a smaller number of people who will be responsible for actually setting up the legal entity and talking with neighbors about the benefits of forming and joining an HOA. However, before setting up the actual HOA, it is important that you generate support from most, if not all, of the neighbors.  You should choose a convenient time and place to hold the initial HOA meetings so that all of the core group members can attend. You can consider having each of the members host a meeting at their home, condo, or duplex. During the initial meeting, discuss why you are interested in starting an HOA. Before your second meeting, members should research local and state laws to ensure that HOAs are permitted in your community. You should also discuss the best ways to convince others to join the HOA. For example, you can circulate a survey asking everyone what changes and/or services that they would like to see in their community or complex. You can use the survey responses as a guide to developing a plan for the HOA. Once the core members have established a basic outline of what the HOA would provide, you should host information sessions for all of the neighbors. This allows people to ask questions of the core members and voice their concerns about the HOA. It also allows people to discuss how they want to interact with the HOA and provide suggestions and input on desired services. You should use the information meetings to try and “sell” the idea of an HOA to your neighbors. Explain how membership dues will be used to provide specific benefits to the community, such as landscaping to beautify the neighborhood and increase property values. If you live in a duplex or condo, an HOA might help pay collective bills and save for building repairs. You should also discuss how the HOA can pool community resources to provide benefits that families could not afford on their own, such as a new playground. Consider preparing different tiers of HOA dues. For example, if everyone in the neighborhood or complex wants to build a pool for community use, plan out how much money that would take and the cost to each member. You should also provide lower cost options and specifically detail what services the HOA would provide. When starting a new HOA, you will most likely need to make the organization voluntary, at least in the beginning. By making the organization voluntary, families will not feel “trapped” by the organization and may be more likely to join. As the HOA demonstrates its benefits to the community or complex, more homeowners, condo owners, and duplex owners may be willing to join and participate.  A mandatory association requires all homeowners, condo owners, and duplex owners in a certain community to join the HOA. HOA membership would actually be linked to the sale of one’s home, condo, or duplex.

One-sentence summary -- Gather a core group of people to start the HOA. Hold information sessions. Promote the benefits of the HOA. Offer different fee arrangements to allow for more involvement. Consider making the HOA voluntary.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Every firearm has a different trigger pull - the amount of pressure required for it to fire.  Before you load the handgun, it's a good idea to "dry fire" the handgun, (point the gun down range and pull the trigger while the gun is unloaded).  This will help you learn what point in the trigger pull the gun will fire.  When you are ready to fire, pull the trigger slowly in one smooth, controlled motion.  A common reason for inaccurate shots is trying to anticipate the recoil (jerking the gun right as you think it's going to fire).  It may seem counter-intuitive, but for the most accurate shots, try to let the recoil "surprise you" rather than predicting when it will happen. Every sport has "follow-through" and target shooting is no exception. As you squeeze the trigger the gun will fire, but don't release the trigger suddenly or relax your posture, your stance or your arms. Be still. Release the trigger after you've taken a breath and prepare for the next shot. Follow-through action improves accuracy and reduces shot variation, just as follow-through does for a golfer or a tennis player. Take your time between rounds. There is no hurry.It is better to get a few accurate hits than to get many bad shots. You are at the range to get better, not turn money into noise. With the gun still in firing position, click the safety back in place (if your handgun has one) and remember to keep the gun pointed downrange while you unload it. For revolvers, check the cylinder to ensure there are no rounds in it or remove any that are. Release the magazine from a semi-automatic pistol and rack the slide to eject any shells that may be in the chamber.

SUMMARY:
Pull the trigger. Follow through. Practice firing several rounds. Unload your weapon and recheck it to ensure it is unloaded.
