Yesterday's results
Illustrating how quickly a stretch of good luck can go sour in the BTS world, the Top 3 contestants all found themselves starting from scratch following yesterday's action.
Leader greg4263 (32 games) and co-second-place fan racin248 (29) simply picked the wrong day to go with the normally reliable Albert Pujols, who went 0-for-4 vs. the Brewers. And while grebecks (29) made a seemingly smart choice by going with the hot-hitting Chase Utley, he couldn't have foreseen that the Phils second baseman would be cooled off with an identical 0-for-4 effort.
The upheaval allowed ryancaraher to take over the top spot at 28 games with his selection of Ryan Braun (2-for-4). rook3256, sportsboom and wfahey all went with Ichiro Suzuki (1-for-5), giving them a share of second place at 27 games.
Yesterday's Top 5 most selected players
1. Ichiro Suzuki (SEA): 12.7%, 1-for-5
2. Ryan Braun (MIL): 10.9%, 2-for-4
3. Albert Pujols (STL): 9.7%, 0-for-4
4. Derek Jeter (NYY): 2.5%, 2-for-5
5. Manny Ramirez (LAD): 2.5%, 1-for-5

Washington and Houston conclude a suspended game, tied in extra innings, before they play their regularly-scheduled game today. Do players for Washington and Houston have to get hits in both the remainder of the suspended game and today's scheduled game to extend a streak in Beat the Streak?
I was wondering that too, but since there were not any real compelling picks in that matchup, I decided to skip over it.
However, I think you only need to get a hit in the game scheduled for tonight, since there is no * next to the Nationals/Astros game on the selection screen today and any day there is a doubleheader, that * is on the page.
Check the rules section of Beat the Streak.
Doubleheaders and suspended games are treated totally differently.
Seems complex – as suspended games that are resumed and completd within 3 days of the original game date are treated differently that games resumed and completed 4 days or after the original game date.
Good Luck!
Tomorrow seems hard as hell, no idea who to go with

His lead vanished, Blumenthal now counts on debate with McMahon
HARTFORD -- As important unaffiliated voters shift slightly toward Republican Linda McMahon, next week's U.S. Senate debate looms increasingly important for the once-front-running Democratic Attorney General Richard Blumenthal.
Blumenthal, reacting to the Quinnipiac University Poll's finding Tuesday that he's in a virtual dead heat with five weeks left, vowed to aggressively show voters the difference between the two candidates along with what he calls McMahon's distortion of his record.
McMahon, asked whether she was looking forward to the debate, expressed confidence in how voters are receiving her candidacy. "We certainly are continuing to get prepared, and I think we'll be addressing the issues very well on Monday night," she said.
Increasingly, Blumenthal is taking McMahon head-on, something he had refrained from doing while he enjoyed a comfortable lead in the polls. On Tuesday, he sharply questioned McMahon's business practices as founder of the World Wrestling Entertainment empire.
"By Election Day we will draw the contrast between myself, my record of standing up and fighting for people and an opponent who has put profits ahead of people, who took home $46 million at the same time in the same year that she was laying off 10 percent of her workforce and whose business is under investigation right now for illegally classifying people to avoid taxes, unemployment compensation and health insurance," Blumenthal said.
"We're going to be talking about her business, the way she has run her business and how she has treated people who have worked for her," Blumenthal said. "The people of Connecticut are entitled to a contrast in those records. My record of fighting against some of the most-powerful special interests, which I will do in Washington, and her record, about how she's run her business and how she's treated people and how they can expect her to treat people if she's in Washington."
He said the Monday night debate will become an important platform and allow him to refute McMahon's contention that he supports a national energy tax. "The debate will be an opportunity to draw distinctions and for each of us to engage the other," Blumenthal said.
McMahon, meanwhile, in a West Hartford news conference, acted more like a confident veteran than someone running for her first elected office.
The Greenwich resident said she plans to take her knowledge as a business leader and campaign promises for lower taxes and more jobs into next Monday's televised debate.
"I think my message continues to resonate, the message that I have the right kind of experience for this job, according to the people of Connecticut who have been telling me that they are looking for an outsider with a different kind of experience, real-life business experience to address today's economic issues in Washington and what our country is facing," McMahon said.
"I have always been a proponent of smaller government, less debt, less spending, reducing taxes, getting people back to work and I have that experience of creating jobs here in Connecticut," she said.
More InformationU.S. Senate Race: Quinnipiac Poll indicates that McMahon closing in on Blumenthal
McMahon maintained that Blumenthal has lied about his Vietnam War record and more recently, about the proceeds he reaped from a Democratic fundraising event he attended earlier this year on the West Coast.
For the first time this election season, more independent voters said they are likely to support McMahon, according to the Quinnipiac Poll, which shows Blumenthal's overall lead of 3 points is equal to the margin of error among more than 1,000 people surveyed.
One-third of those who said they are likely voters in November said they are "angry" with the federal government, and eight out of 10 of those support McMahon.
Douglas Schwartz, director of the poll, told reporters in the Capitol Tuesday morning that McMahon seems to be channeling that disgust into momentum for her challenge for what has been a Democratic seat since 1963.
"I think it's the anti-incumbent feeling out there, and (Blumenthal) is the quasi-incumbent in this race," Schwartz said.
Since the last poll Sept. 14, when 47 percent of unaffiliated voters preferred Blumenthal to 46 percent for McMahon, the professional wrestling executive from Greenwich now enjoys a 49-44 percent advantage over the longtime state attorney general.
The state's 836,000 unaffiliated voters compare to about 740,500 registered Democrats and 409,200 registered Republicans. "Independents are going to be the key group to watch in this election," Schwartz said, adding that 6 percent of unaffiliated voters are undecided.

The Ghostbusters have dedicated their lives to removing and containing the undead menace, but what if the proton pack-wielding foursome joined the ranks of the very ghosts they hunt? Ghostbuters comic artist Dan Schoening gives new unlife to the ghosthunting heroes.
Egon, Ray, and Peter were ghostified in the Real Ghostbusters episode "The Flip Side," but since Schoening's artwork is based on the design of the movies, he wanted to try his hand at his own version of the "Flip Side" Ghostbusters. He even gave them punny last names to go with their gruesome looks.
You can see more of Schoening's Ghostbusters artwork in his comics or at his deviantART page.

Your child will come home with a sharing schedule each month. He or she will have a sharing day where they can bring anything from home (no pets, please!) that tells us about themselves and helps us make personal connections. Sharing day is important! It gives a feeling of significance, belonging and a chance to speak in front of the class. Sharing usually starts with " I brought my _________and it is special to me because____________." Then the sharer will be able to call on classmates for questions and/or comments.
Students will be sent home quarterly report cards. The cards have numeric scores, rather than letter scores.
It's important to remember that the report card only provides a "snapshot" of student learning that reflects grade level expectations/standards, student achievement of, and individual progress toward independently meeting expectations, and where help and support are needed. It in no way replaces teacher and parent communication or fully explains a students' school success.
Every Friday the Marcy Friday folder will come home. All homework, forms, finished work or important papers will be sent home in the Friday folder. Please choose a place where this will be kept during the week and help your child remember to return it to school the following Friday.
Our classroom doors open at 8:30. We take attendance daily by 9:00 a.m. If your child is late, please have them check in at the office to get a pass before coming into the classroom. That way we know that the attendance has been corrected.
Breakfast is available to all students. If a child needs breakfast they should go to the lunchroom to get their breakfasts in the morning before coming to the classroom. Breakfast is eaten in the classroom.
Lunch is free for all students. There is a lunch menu online through Mpls Public Schools. Breakfast is also available to all students each day.
Please email or send a note in advance, or call the office at 612.668.1020. There is a sign-out sheet in the Main Office; be sure to use it when picking up your child.
Please let us know by email or call the office at 612.668.1020. If possible please come a bit early before dismissal. If we don't receive notification and don't see a parent by dismissal we are to send students home on the bus, or their usual mode of transportation.
Let the office know and a bus pass will be issued. You can call the office by dialing 612-668-1020.
Call the health office at 612.668.1045. We want your child to be well and they should stay home if they are too ill.
Call the office and let them know the dates you will be gone. Also e-mail teachers to let us know.
Scholarships are available. Absolutely no child will ever be denied an opportunity due to financial reasons.
Our school policy says: NO SUGARY TREATS! SORRY! If you'd like to bring a birthday treat, please consider healthful (nut-free) foods like cheese or fruit or consider stickers, pencils, or bring a favorite book to share during read aloud time. Birthdays are a special time for first graders. The class will write a special birthday message for the birthday student.

Thanks for the generous offer. Give me a PM with your contact info. I'd like to get together with you and Dub and get moving on an application.
Jeff Welker
Hi guys, I like this thread.
I wanted to give you the regional perspective. I have been talking to my boss Mike Lopez and we have discussed making a trophy lake fishery many times over the past six years. I find it interesting that a lot of points in this thread are in line with our discussion and are mostly spot on.
Our priority at this Time is Becker. Simply because we have already designated this as a trophy water and we are very close to providing the large fish in this lake. The advantage of this lake over Crescent is that it does not winterkill and may just need some minor regulation changes or increased enforcement to provide large trout.
Crescent Lake has probably the most potential in this region to benefit from increased amount of cash and aggressive water quality management. We have been discussing some options to improve water quality in this lake and reduce summer and winterkills. We have been seeing winterkill about every other year and summer kills about as often.
We have funded a nutrient budget study on this lake with Dr Gremillion with NAU with an emphasis on determining how much weed harvesting is improving water quality, the final report will contain recommendations on how to improve water quality.
We are also collecting data every three weeks over the winter starting in December of 2007. The information is on rate of oxygen depletion and light penetration through the ice. This should give us information on how much water is needed in the lake to substantial reduce winterkill. Our Phoenix water quality people are collecting quarterly water samples to get a baseline on nutrients in the lake.
Here is a list of tasks that are likely to improve the water quality and or quantity and where we could use money:
1) Bring power to lake and aerate over winter to prevent winterkill, this would also include annual electric bills and maintenance.
2) Treat the lake with herbicide before the main plant growing season to reduce oxygen demand
3) Pump water into lake from wells (could be costly)
4) Chemical treatment to bind nutrients (must be careful not to reduce growth of fish in lake)
5) Improve boat ramps so that we can harvest weeds more regularly (during low water years we are unable to launch the harvester at Crescent and last year with the funding issues we were unable to harvest as many weeds as past years)
6) Study the affect of trout sizes and numbers stocked on impact on the zooplankton in the lake. There is some evidence that summer kill problems are due to trout removing the zooplankton and allowing an explosion of phytoplankton
Before we can try any of these tasks (other than #6) we will need to go through the NEPA process through the Forest Service. I would suggest including all possible tasks at Crescent in one NEPA process as that way we can start with the most biological and cost effective first and work down the list until we control the problem without having to initiate NEPA for each task. This NEPA is also an opportunity for funding assistance as we have found that we often have to pay the Forest Service to do the NEPA if we want it done in a timely manner.
Now, it is time to talk about the elephant in the room. Even if we address water quality problems, Crescent will not be a trophy water without regulation changes. The tasks listed above are important for the lake whether we manage as a trophy water or not. We will be looking to move forward with these tasks but your guys help would definitely speed things along. However, we will not be able to provide trophy fish unless we reduce mortality from harvest and poor water quality. Will you guys be willing to help with the lake even if there are no regulation changes or is that going to be a requirement?
This is a very opportune time to discuss long term management of Crescent Lake. We are starting a planning effort on half the lakes in the region from Carnero Lake east to the state border and south to Luna Lake (including all the lakes in this thread: Becker, Carnero, Crescent, Lee Valley, Big and Luna). We will be setting management emphases for all these waters, including which will be managed as trophy waters. The goal of this planning is to meet the needs of our anglers and customers by looking at each individual water and it's biological potential and setting specific objectives of catch rates, sizes of fish and angler satisfaction. We will be deciding which lakes make the most sense for more restrictive regulation and which may require less restrictive regulations. This will be done in a way to divvy the resources so that we can provide for everyone's needs. At the end of this planning process we will be making recommendations on regulation changes (or not) that will have to go through the agency, public meetings, and commission meetings to go into effect.
There will be an opportunity through this planning process for your concerns to be heard and we welcome them. The timeline for decision on whether the lake will have a trophy lake management emphasis which can be taken up the agency chain of command will probably be this June (we will probably be looking for public input a couple months before that). The timeline for setting any regulation changes in motion would be spring of 2010 since we are on a two year regulation cycle.

That is a good read Kelly and very encouraging.
We do have to talk about that elephant.
What is the expected completion date of the Gremillion study?
Thanks for the post.
Thanks for the insight. Very interesting stuff! Sorry I missed you last week in the office. I popped in to get 09' licenses and you were not there... Hopefully you got my "hello" from the gal up front.
That said, I really like the action menioned above. Please keep us in the loop on any meetings and ways we can help. We should start a savings towards the commong goal of trophy trout lakes! Thoughts?
Cheers <")))><
Thanks for the input Kelly. I think with the connections this message board can bring to the table the money should not be an issue, but I'm not sure how many will be interested in giving their money over to a lake that doesn't have any special regulations. As soon as the word gets out that Cresent is producing large fish every bait chucker from Big Lake will come over and fish out Cresent.
More C&R
I will be watching this thread so I can see what I can do to help. Lots of interesting stuff in here.
Kelly thanks for the heads up, and effort it involves now, and will involve in the future!
For those of us who haven't seen it, HLF (Henrys lake foundation) is a good bench mark on what successful cooperation, and management can provide for anglers. In this link look down to the part about the aeration during the winter. It gives a good idea what could help if we get a lake that winter kills....
The Gremillion study is past due. It is mostly is a nutrient budget and the model has been done, they are still doing some of the analysis.
My guess will be that the winter aeration and spring herbicide treatment will be critical.
good luck explaining to the residents of springerville\ eagar that they can not fish thier lake with a worm and bobber I know there are regulations already in effect but just like chevlon, canyon creek , and other places enforcment is going to be cruciual, come to think of it at any lake designated
support your local , independent fly shop!!

AMDG – Doubting Thomas and Divine Mercy Sunday
This Sunday – we had three things converging – Doubting Thomas, Divine Mercy Sunday as instituted by St JPII, and Pope Francis announcing of an extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy (to begin on Dec 8th) ….. I shamelessly tried to squeeze them all into my homily …
Today we hear the famous post-resurrection encounter of Jesus with 'Doubting Thomas'….. who refuses to believe that Jesus has truly risen unless he can put his fingers in his wounds.
Why did Thomas dig his heels in and refuse to believe that Jesus was Risen? Why did he demand special proof? Why wasn't he as satisfied as the other disciples?
Because Thomas loved Jesus –and when we love we also know that our heart has been exposed to being hurt. Anyone who has experienced the death of someone they love….. anyone who has seen a relationship disintegrate…. Anyone who has been left by someone they love knows the hurt and pain that follows. From the disciples perspective, Jesus' mission had ended so abruptly. After witnessing the miracles, seeing the great crowds… Thomas was convinced that Jesus was the Son of God. He had left everything to follow him and then in confusion and fear he had witnessed his arrest, he had run away to save his own life but heard about Jesus being tortured, heard about his public and humiliating death. The experience of Holy Week that we have just passed through had left the disciple frightened, disorientated and disillusioned.
So stubborn Thomas, having been so deeply hurt because of his love for Jesus, is reluctant to raise his hope again. When we human beings are hurt so often we react like hedgehogs and curl up into a little ball, nursing grudges, becoming angry and bitter. But look at Jesus's response – Jesus who had been abandoned by his disciples, who had been tortured and killed in a humiliating way – but now the risen glorious Jesus, still bearing his wounds, his first words are not of blame and retribution but of peace and mercy.
' Peace be with you ' and to Thomas ' Doubt no longer and believe' … and Thomas makes one of the most beautiful declarations of faith in the Bible ' My Lord and My God' – and then Jesus commissioned to the Disciples to spread this message of peace and mercy, the forgiveness of sins.
The difference between our human experience of being hurt, and how we nurture grudges and find it difficult to forgive and the divine mercy is great. So it is beautiful that Saint John Paul II has named this Sunday Divine Mercy Sunday and dedicated it to the visions that Sr Faustina of Krakow had just before WW2, She died a year before the Nazi's occupied Poland which lead to some terrible years, firstly with the Nazi Occupation and followed by the Communist Occupation, a period which John Paul referred to as the crucifixion of Poland. The most famous of the visions was the lord revealing his sacred heart with rays of white and red light flowing from it as we can see at the font of the church by the lectern …. Coming at the start of the 20th Century – the most violent, most genocidal, most hate filled period in world history ….. In the face of this violence and hatred – God reveals his mercy.
What is mercy -? Coming from –misericordia – mercy is a deep loving identification in others suffering …. Mercy is the very essence of God, not just one attribute amongst many….. Psalm 113 reminds us that God's mercy endures forever and a merciful Church is what Pope Francis longs for…. Pope Francis today has declared this year – to be an Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy for the Church …. He has published a bull for the called Misericordia Vultus…… Saying "The Church's very credibility is seen in how she shows merciful and compassionate love…… we will be asked if we have helped others to escape the doubt that causes them to fall into despair
I think we should take this invitation seriously. As well as an increased participation in the Sacrament of Confession – so that we can experience God's Mercy …. Let's remember the seven corporal works of mercy are: 1. Feed the hungry. 2. Give drink to the thirsty. 3. Clothe the naked. 4. Shelter the homeless. 5. Visit the sick. 6. Visit the imprisoned. 7. Bury the dead. And the seven spiritual works of mercy are: 1. Counsel the doubtful. 2. Instruct the ignorant. 3. Admonish sinners. 4. Comfort the afflicted. 5. Forgive offences. 6. Bear wrongs patiently. 7. Pray for the living and the dead. Anyone who is interested in how we can implement this more – students and non-students …. Come and see me …. We already have exceptional things like the foodbank, homeless runs, running breakfast clubs in local primary schools but we can do more … come and see me if you are interested. How will you respond to this extraordinary Jubilee of God's Mercy?

The SQL language is used to interact with relational databases management systems (RDBMS).
This language is nowadays unavoidable in IT, whatever the technology used.
Indeed, the SQL benefited from a standardization process over several years; it is not proprietary and can be used with most RBDMS, even if they are developed by competing vendors (e.g. Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, ...).
However, some features are specific to each solution. We thus present in this course the SQL as used on Oracle databases.

Armed protest at Alamo ends quietly
SAN ANTONIO — Gun enthusiasts gathered at the Alamo Saturday to rally for the right to openly carry firearms, without state and local restrictions that are now in place.
Demonstrators, many carrying rifles, shotguns or 19th-century pistols, cheered speakers who urged them to hold tight to their firearms, as their protected Constitutional right.
Featured speaker Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, a candidate for lieutenant governor whose General Land Office oversees the Alamo, approved the use of the Alamo grounds for the event. Until 2011 the Alamo was overseen by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, which limited demonstrations at one of the state's most recognized landmarks.
Police Chief William McManus said this week that police would oversee the protest, which he expected to be peaceful.
Live coverage updates:
Update 3:05 p.m.
Police have threatened to cite remaining protesters who are armed for a violation of city ordinance that bans weapons in city parks. Police did not enforce the ordinance during the demonstration, but told a small group of armed protesters who declined to leave they would be cited if they stayed.
"How do you even sleep at night," one protester asked an officer during a five-minute standoff that gained the attention of a small crowd.
The protester labeled the police "tyrants with badges."
Update: 2:54 p.m.
A handful of protesters that remained at the Alamo after the event ended Saturday were told to leave or be cited by police. Express-News reporters are monitoring.
Update: 2 p.m.
The rallying crowd began to disperse and trail out of Travis Park by around 2 p.m. Saturday. The protest ended quietly, after about four hours of impassioned speeches about the right to bear arms and protecting the Second Amendment against government interference. Organizers expected 1,000 people to join in. Police estimated that at its fullest, the protest drew between 450 and 500 people.
Update: 1:25 p.m.
Protesters arrived at Travis Park to continue their rally, including an "open mic" session with a bullhorn.
The park is named for Alamo defender William Barrett Travis and was once used as a gathering place for Confederate soldiers. The park on East Travis Street features a statue donated by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, standing at its center.
Update: 1:15 p.m.
Chanting "live free or die!" protesters marched toward Travis Park to continue their demonstration. Hundreds packed the sidewalks leading from the Alamo to the park, where an "open mic" session is planned. Bicycle cops trailed alongside the crowd while they moved off the Alamo grounds.
Update: 12:45 p.m.
Protesters at the Alamo are next expected to gather at Travis Park for an "open mic" session, organizers said. The group was set to start marching to the park at around 12:30 p.m. Around that time, there were still hundreds assembled at the Alamo, where speeches continued.
Four members of the Australian Women's National Soccer team, in town for a friendly match Sunday, wandered through the crowd wide-eyed.
"Only in America," said midfielder Heather Garriock. "It's surreal. You only see this in the movies.
Meanwhile, on stage, speakers continued to attack what they said were efforts to infringe on Americans' rights, Second Amendment and otherwise.
"I support every one of them," said B. Thomas, 27, who came from Missouri City near Houston. "We all sing the same song."
Update: 12:20 p.m.
More than a dozen police officers patroled the crowd at the Alamo, Saturday. Chief William McManus was among them. He did not make public remarks but did have an exchange with national gun enthusiast Alex Jones that drew a small crowd. The radio show host and famed conspiracy theorist walked away from the chief and back into the crowd after a few minutes.
Update: 11:35 a.m.
Three members of the National Charro Federation are on Alamo Street protesting the hundreds of people standing on the plaza where Mission Indians are buried.
"These people that love the Second Amendment, that are law-abiding citizens who respect this country's laws, they should not be trampling on a Native American cemetery," said Ronald Rocha, 72, a descendant of Mission Indians.
Update: 11:15 a.m.
A couple dozen people were gathered near South Alamo and Sixth streets for a grassroots anti-gun demonstration put on Saturday morning by a group called Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
Organizers said the would will draw a"line in the sandbox" to oppose "open carry extremists."
Update: 10:55 a.m.
In stark contrast to Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson's tempered rhetoric, firebrand TV and radio host Alex Jones brought his message of anti-globalization to the stage.
To applause and cheers, Jones blew out his voice as he warned the crowd that "globalists" are trying to take away their firearms.
"They're not misguided liberals," Jones said, "They're authoritarians who are arming to the teeth to take away our liberties."
Update: 10:45 a.m.
Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, a candidate for lieutenant governor who helped author the state's concealed carry law, compared Saturday's rally to the famous battle at Gonzalez that sparked the Texas revolution.
"The Mexican army came to Gonzalez to take away the cannon the townspeople had to defend themselves and they said, 'no, come and take it,'" Patterson told the crowd that has swollen to several hundred.
Patterson asked attendees not to blame police for what he called restrictive laws that infringe on citizens' rights.
"Any anger you have, focus it on the lawmakers," he said.
Patterson asked attendees to make room for people trying to visit the Alamo. He also asked them not to openly carry their weapons in the shrine.
Austin Libertarian TV host Alex Jones is on the stage now.
Update: 10:40 a.m.
A grassroots anti-gun demonstration by a group called Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, is set to begin at 11 a.m. Saturday at 609 S. Alamo St. with music, games, food and information about gun safety. Organizers said they will draw a"line in the sandbox" to oppose "open carry extremists."
"As mothers, we have an obligation to push back on the bullying and intimidation tactics of the aggressive carry movement," organizers said in a press release this week.
Upate: 10:15 a.m.
The rally started with remarks from organizers. "We aren't here to start a war today," one said, addressing a steadily growing crowd. "We are here to show that an armed society is a polite society."
Organizer CJ Grisham, an Army master sergeant who was arrested in Temple for carrying a rifle and whose trial last week ended in a mistrial, asked attendees to keep flags blocking the chambers of their guns.
"If the SWAT team comes down and starts surrounding us with tactical gear, it only takes a minute to pull them out," Grisham said of the orange pieces of plastic most attendees have stuck in the cheers of their guns. "But that's not going to happen."
Grisham called for a change to Texas laws preventing the open carry of modern pistols.
Upate: 9:45 a.m.
Organizers expect more than 1,000 people to show up Saturday carrying rifles, shotguns and antique firearms to protest a city ordinance that limits where gun owners can take their weapons. As of 9:45 a.m., there were about 300.
A heavy police presence was also expected. Two uniformed officers were spotted at the rally at around 10 a.m., shaking hands with demonstrators.
Update: 9:30 a.m.
More than 100 people, many of them carrying rifles with the slides visibly blocked, have gathered in front of the Alamo for today's open carry demonstration.
Gina Holcomb, 47, the wife of a gun rights activist who was arrested earlier this year in Austin for carrying a black powder pistol, said she and her family woke up at 4 a.m. to drive in from Cold Spring.
"We've got chamber flags in," she said, pointing to the orange piece of plastic that prevents her AR-15 from firing. "We're showing you can have a peaceful demonstration with citizens with guns."
LeeAnna Hopson, 35, is in town from Orlando, Fla., for a convention and was jogging by the Alamo this morning.
"Someone warned me people were going to be coming carrying weapons today, otherwise I would have run the other way."
Update: 9 a.m.
Most of those to arrive early at the Alamo were organizers, among a couple dozen people that started gathering before 10 a.m.
Demonstrator Robert Gustafson, 56, came with his AR-15 rifle, unloaded with a straw blocking the slide.
"This is part of a bigger battle for individual rights," Gustafson said. "There's something about being a gun owner that says, 'I can take care of myself.'"
Police Chief Wiliam McManus said in an interview earlier this week that officers would ensure "that people do not become alarmed." Texas law limits carrying of concealed handguns to licensed owners but allows open carrying of rifles if not done in a "manner calculated to alarm."
"Our goal is not to infringe on anybody's rights in anything that we do," he said. "Our goal is actually to protect those rights. But when rights, perceived or otherwise, conflict with the laws, that's where police will intervene."
MySA will be at the rally throughout the day providing updates.

A Note from a Member of the Board of Directors
In May 2012 the ARCUS Board met in its first face-to-face meeting of recent years. The ARCUS Annual Meeting, convened in Washington, D.C. following the inaugural AGU Science Policy Conference and the ARCUS Arctic Forum, was the opportune time for a one-day retreat. The ever-growing myriad of arctic-related organizations emphasizes the increasing need for interdisciplinary science research that will form the basis for informed arctic policies. An organization such as ARCUS, whose membership is largely academic institutions, can play an important role in enabling this necessary research and transmitting relevant data to effective receptor agencies, both nationally and internationally. Given the global commons of changing arctic ecosystems and the heightened awareness of issues concerning arctic governance, security, and energy development, communications at a circumarctic (international) level are equally important to those at the north-south (national) level. For these reasons, ARCUS should be connecting with international organizations from the eight circumarctic states.
ARCUS plays an important role in promoting arctic science and education, and encouraging interdisciplinary research with broad participation including social scientists and stakeholders. As a result, programs that use real-time data, such as the Sea Ice for Walrus Outlook, are proving useful to a number of communities and stakeholders at a local and national/international level. Its ability to connect arctic-related organizations and assist in producing integrative science programs and information outreach (e.g., ArcticInfo, Witness the Arctic, Arctic Visiting Speakers Program is a model for other circumarctic nations to follow. ARCUS is in many instances the "go-to" place for information about programs and events relevant to the Arctic. Many arctic-related organizations could make their own lives easier by increasing their engagement with ARCUS, who can partner effectively with them and amplify their findings to ensure that their data are used in effective arctic science policies. A first step would be to become an ARCUS member. The latest International Polar Year culminating conference was titled "From Knowledge to Action," and this is what ARCUS fundamentally espouses.

Tomahawk Custom Guitars create replacement bodies and necks for Telecaster-style guitars, and also produce a few designs of 21st Century evolved Teles such as the above pictured guitar which was assembled and finished by Graham from the UK. (Graham, if you're looking in - I hope you don't mind us using this photo of your guitar - I think it looks great!)
I think this is a fantastic idea, allowing you to build your own more distinctive and individual looking guitar but using readily available components.

Well. Now I need a drink.
Here's Part 14 [FINAL] of my playthrough of "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice."
"Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice" is about a Pict based on Celtic mythology and Norse mythology. The game is focused on Senua's (Melina Juergens) point of view, as she embarks on a very personal journey through a hellish underworld made up of Senua's psychotic manifestations of her reality and mind.
This will be a full playthrough on the PlayStation 4 system with a review at the end.

This could only be a more dangerous zone if the beast in question were a great white shark. So in that respect, the music is entirely appropriate. In all other respects, it is Kenny Loggins. But do watch the video, it is pretty crazy. Captured off Cairns, Australia, the video shows a giant marlin—reportedly 600 pounds-worth of marlin—that just jumps aboard and starts flinging itself around without consideration or remorse.
Watch one man, who appears to be filming from one of the various angles shown, topple over and slide backwards. Watch another man get hit in the skull with a chair or ladder or random piece of boat that the marlin somehow flung across the boat. Watch the beauty and raw power of nature raging against man. All the while, the 1986 classic Danger Zone chugs along.

I liken naturally processed beans.....just love the fruity flavours ....the more fruity the better.
Best coffee I have every tried so far is an Ethiopian Heirloom varietal.
I got a pack of green beans from Ancoats coffee in Manchester (brilliant place, friendly, own roaster in the shop, converted cotton mill so the architecture is fascinating and of course lovely coffee)
They sell is as "Rocko Mountain Reserve"....this really has to be tried to be appreciated!
Great balance of fruit and caramel...very sweet but with a nice acidic tang.
Every time I do a home tasting..this one always comes out on top.

The NFL's version of the final four is upon us, and the Seattle Seahawks are poised to defend their crown and repeat as champions. In the NFC, Russell Wilson is going after his second Super Bowl ring, as well as Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers. In the AFC matchup, Tom Brady has a chance to climb the Mt. Rushmore of 4 time Super Bowl winning quarterbacks, joining Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana. Andrew Luck leads the upstart Indianapolis Colts, as the only quarterback in the tournament who is attempting to win his first Lombardi Trophy.
Ever since the Patriots caught fire after their dismal performance against the Kansas City Chiefs in front of a national football audience, I've been predicting a Patriots – Seahawks finale. I still believe that after this Sunday's games are over, those are still the two teams that will be left standing.
I expect the Patriots to activate Jonas Gray, and come out running against the Indianapolis Colts. Gray rushed for over 200 yards in Lucas Oil stadium, and with the addition of LeGarrette Blount, I expect more of the same this Sunday. Bill Belichick is a master of situational football, and just like he abandoned the run in the Patriots' win over the Baltimore Ravens in the prior week, he will once again adapt his personnel to match his opponent.
On the other side of the ball, I do not believe that the Colts can go up to New England without a running game, and get away with it. They will go only as far as Andrew Luck will take them, and Belichick will take away what Luck does best, he will commit more players to defend the pass, and dare the Colts to run on his defense.
The Seattle Seahawks look to be a team on a mission. They are peaking at the right time, and their defense is the difference maker. They have solid corners, unbelieveable safeties, active linebackers, and a defensive line that at times is dominant. They have a mercurial quarterback in Wilson, arguably the best running back in the NFL in Lynch, and they don't beat themselves. They are also the most complete team in the playoffs.
The Green Bay Packers have come this far with sheer grit and determination, and on the arm of Aaron Rodgers. His calf injury has hindered his play, but on one leg he is still better than most NFL QBs on two legs. The key to the Packers having a chance is to unleash stout running back Eddie Lacy, but I do not see his offensive line opening up holes for him. He'll have to make his own, and although he is capable of just that, I don't believe it is going to be enough.

Amazon.com's servers could not handle the mighty power of the Little Monsters.
The online book and music store faced technical difficulties and delays when Lady Gaga fans downloaded new album "Born This Way," offered by Amazon for a mere 99 cents on Monday, Mashable reported. iTunes is selling the same record for $11.99.
"Amazon is experiencing high volume and downloads are delayed," the company released in a statement. If customers order today, they will get the full Lady Gaga, Born This Way album for $0.99. Thanks for your patience."
The huge discount was likely a way for Amazon to promote its new Cloud Driver service, which allows users to download music and videos on one server and stream it on to a smartphone or other platform, The New York Times reported.
Still, fans who were unable to immediately download all the pop idol's songs continued to plug in one-star ratings that blasted Amazon. One discussion post was titled, "Nice try Amazon…but you fail."
Most of the low ratings may have been Amazon's fault, but were also commentators who said they were "disappointed" in the songs themselves.

A Powerful Storm Carried Dirt From Texas Where Mixed With Snow In Minnesota
By Bill Galluccio
April 12, 2019
People living in Minnesota are no strangers to April blizzards, but a recent snow storm left them scratching their heads. As the major storm system buried parts of the central United States in snow, many residents were concerned when the usually pristine white snow had a strange brown-colored tint.
People shared photos on social media of the dirty snow and wondered if it was safe.
Top inch or snow this morning is reddish brown, like bits of frozen iced tea are mixed in. Top soil mixed in with frozen rain?
It turns out the snow was mixed with dirt that came from Texas and New Mexico. According to the National Weather Service, the massive storm picked up the dirt and blew it thousands of miles north where it mixed with the snow before finally falling to the ground.
Officials say while the snow may look dirty, it is harmless, though they don't recommend trying to eat it.
