Pence's homer sparks Giants over Rockies
San Francisco, CA – Hunter Pence hit a three-run home run to help the San Francisco Giants take a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies in the opener of a three-game set.
Buster Posey drove in the other run while Pablo Sandoval added two hits and a run scored for the Giants, who stopped a two-game slide. Madison Bumgarner (2-0) gave up two runs on five hits with five walks and five strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.
"He's got some of the most power I've ever seen," Posey said of Pence. "I get to hit with him in batting practice every day, and I try to make sure I hit before him so I don't have to follow up his moonshots."
Carlos Gonzalez hit a solo home run while Chris Nelson drove in a run for the Rockies, who had a five-game winning streak snapped. Jorge De La Rosa (0-1) gave up three runs on six hits with a walk and three strikeouts over six innings of work.
The Giants jumped out on top on the first inning. Marco Scutaro and Sandoval hit one-out singles, but Posey then struck out. Pence, though, slammed a pitch over the wall in left for his third home run of the season and a 3-0 lead.
"It was supposed to be away," De La Rosa said of his pitch to Pence. "That one cut a little bit to the middle. He hit it very good. ... That's a mistake from me. I paid for it."
Gonzalez hit a solo home run in the third inning to cut the Rockies deficit to two.
In the sixth, Colorado made it a one-run game. With one out, Michael Cuddyer singled to center and stole second after Josh Rutledge struck out. Nelson then punched a single to left to plate Cuddyer.
The Giants gave themselves and insurance run in the eighth when Posey singled in Angel Pagan, who had reached base on an infield single and had stolen second.
Sergio Romo gave up a leadoff double to Rutledge in the ninth, but struck out the next three batters to pick up his fourth save of the season.
Game Notes
San Francisco won 14 of the 18 games with Colorado last season ... Colorado went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and stranded seven ... Tim Lincecum pitches for San Francisco on Tuesday while Juan Nicasio takes the mound for the Rockies.

Crash: Okay, let's start with a basic history of yourself and then I want you to talk about the shop and it's crew.
Horitaka Kitamura: Sure man, basic story… Well I was born in Japan and my parents moved to America when I was a few years old. My parents were bilingual so they taught me Japanese as well, which opened a lot of doors for me later on… So I grew up here and probably had a very similar interest in tattooing like many of my generation, I was a skater, turned punk rocker and liked tattoos from my junior high school days. I do recall liking the tattoos in an old Japanese TV show, "the tattooed magistrate" where the hero shows his cherry blossom tattoos before he kicks ass at the end of every episode. So I guess I've long had an affinity for tattoos. I know in high school I had already decided I wanted a body suit, didn't know what the hell that meant or what was good but I just knew that I wanted tons of tattoos!
C: When did you start doing tattoos and how?
HT: Well, I got my first tattoos in high school but I didn't start tattooing 'til 1998. After high school, I moved to Santa Cruz to go to school there. I graduated with a BA in Community Studies, something that would prove very useful later on. I didn't take any art classes, I should have but my focus was different at the time. The Community Studies major is centered around social work and field study. Essentially, you read about a subject and then go out in the field as an intern and then come back and write about it. Inevitably, like with anything in life, things tend to be much different in the "real world" and most of us left with the feeling that research is good but real experience is better. This process of studying, living and observing, and then writing would serve me well later and is the foundation for much of my writings. After college, I moved to San Jose and like most college graduates, ended up working retail instead of something related to my major of studies. After a few years of that and opening a small automotive type shop, I landed an apprenticeship with NewSkool Studios (RIP) with Paco Excel and Adrian Lee. I was a client of Paco's and he was nice enough to take me in. Adrian, Wrath and Jason Kundell also helped teach me and in 1998 I began tattooing. I worked at a shop called House of Pain for a year and then Marks of Art for three-and-a-half years before opening State of Grace. I know, way too early to open a shop, but that's just the way it happened, I guess I tried to learn along the way! I would like to say, my old boss at Marks of Art, Scotty Weeks was the best boss I've ever had, a real class act!
C: Tell us about State of Grace…
HT: State of Grace was opened September 1st, 2002, so we've just hit 10 years and are very happy about that! I could not have predicted the growth that has occurred, the original plan was for a one man type shop ha-ha! I would say the one unique thing about State of Grace was that it was founded with the idea and mission statement of trying to do and promote traditional Japanese tattooing in the United States. I had scheduled to open next to my homie's bike shop, 45s Forever. The property is owned by the Enriquez family, and Roman Enriquez has been like a brother to me for many years, I could not have opened State of Grace without his friendship and support. We now throw the convention together and always push each other to do better in life in every way possible. But back to the shop, a few months before opening, I got a call from Jill Bonny about work. Jill had gotten my number from Ed Hardy, a mutual mentor to both of us, and was looking for work. I had never met her before but we both had a mutual interest in studying Japanese tattooing and after a few talks, she joined the shop. Jill is a graduate of Cooper Union in New York and brought a strong art background and healthy work ethic to the shop. Back then, Chad Koeplinger- also a brother to me for many years, flew out for a couple weeks and we all built the shop together. I remember Jill and Chad painting our sign on the floor at like 4 a.m. or something like that! It's been a pleasure watching Jill and her successes, she's written books, traveled, tattooed and been an essential part of State of Grace.
C: Okay, who else you got? I can't keep track it seems like you guys are constantly expanding!
HT: I know! We don't mean to, but as I explain each person's story you can see why! Shortly after, Horitomo, who I had become close too since we were members of the same tattoo family, wanted to move to the United States. Of course I was ecstatic and didn't hesitate! We got a lawyer and got him an "extraordinary talent" visa and he moved over! I really feel that Horitomo is one of the top Japanese artists in the world and we are lucky to have him! We recently published his book IMMOVABLE, which I think speaks for itself as far as art, education and what Horitomo is about. A few years after Horitomo came over, Yokohama Horiken wanted to move over and we did the same process! Horiken is a graduate of Tama Art College in Japan and also an amazing tattooer and painter. We love having two native Japanese speakers in the shop and both are versed in hand shading, tebori. Having Horitomo and Horiken allows us, and our clients to get authentic information and experience from Japan. This is very important to me and is something I've always wanted for State of Grace.
C: Yes, how many Japanese hand tattooers do you think there are in the States?
HT: I honestly don't know of too many, Shinji is in New York and they're a few others, so it definitely is a rare skill in this country. And it's not just the hand tattooing; Horitomo and Horiken have such a fount of knowledge and do the reading in Japanese to back it up. Everyone loves to do Japanese tattooing out here, but as an American, it can be really hard to get accurate information and reference. We are very lucky to have Horitomo and Horiken at State of Grace.
C: Okay, who else?
HT: Colin Kenji Baker apprenticed with us and is one of the greatest people I've ever met. He came in as a client, I guess his mom had bought him my second book, and while working on his sleeve, we just hit it off. I had a feeling he wanted to tattoo and asked him if he had samples of his graphic art. Turns out that he had a portfolio in his car every time but did not want to be rude and show it before I asked to see it. I think this says it all, he's got a great character and it's been great watching his art evolve. He's a very well rounded tattooer and is capable in many different styles. I also like that he and Horiken have been making machines from scratch, that is an area I was never good at!

Pembrokeshire County Council chief executive Bryn Parry-Jones will not follow the example of his counterpart in Carmarthenshire by standing aside while police investigate 'unlawful' pension payments he received, the Western Telegraph can confirm.
On Friday it was announced that Carmarthenshire County Council chief executive Mark James would stand aside while police investigated the 'unlawful' pension payments scandal that has rocked both Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire local authorities.
Today (Monday) the Western Telegraph asked if Mr Parry-Jones would also stand aside while police carried out their work.
A spokesman for Pembrokeshire County Council, said: "The purpose of the police investigation, announced on 12th February, is to ascertain whether or not any criminal offences have taken place.
"It is not an investigation into the conduct of any individual member of staff."
Pembrokeshire County Council leader, Councillor Jamie Adams, added: "Given these circumstances, it is difficult to see how paying the Chief Executive to remain at home represents effective use of public money."
'Strip BPJ of returning officer duties'
Meanwhile, Welsh Labour AM Rebecca Evans has called for Mr Parry-Jones to be stripped of his role as Returning Officer for Wales in the European elections this May until local councillors are allowed to debate the issue properly and the police investigation has concluded.
This follows last week's full council meeting that descended into farce after the council enlisted lawyer declared a number of people had pre-determined the outcome of the discussion which led to a walk-out and prevented a vote on suspending Mr Parry-Jones.
Rebecca Evans said: "After the embarrassing spectacle that was Friday's 'extraordinary meeting' of Pembrokeshire council, it is clear that the Pembrokeshire council leadership is content to allow the debate to descend into farce rather than grapple openly and in public with the serious issues presented by the Wales Audit Office reports.
"It would now be utterly preposterous for Bryn Parry Jones to preside over the European Ballot as Returning Officer while his pension payments are still under police investigation. The public must have complete confidence in the election process, and in all of the people involved. Until the police investigation is concluded, alternative arrangements must be made – and that means relieving Bryn Parry Jones of his Returning Officer role."

BMW 323Ci Alternator Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
Find a RepairPal Certified Shop
What is an alternator?
All of the electrical components on a vehicle need electrical power to operate, and the battery has a finite amount of storage. This creates the need for a built-in battery charger called the alternator, which works in conjunction with the battery and starter to form the starting and charging system.
The alternator charges the battery and powers the vehicle's electrical system when the engine is running. It provides electrical energy to keep the battery fully charged and to power vehicle systems in use (e.g. the starter motor, lights, and stereo).
How does the alternator work?
The alternator is mounted on the engine, and creates power much like a wind-energy turbine, except it is turned by the serpentine belt, or accessory drive belt instead of wind. As it spins, it creates electricity, and the built-in voltage regulator and rectifier are responsible for ensuring the current is correct for the vehicle.
The alternator produces an alternating current (AC), which is changed to usable direct current (DC) by the rectifier diodes within the alternator.
What are the symptoms related to a bad alternator?
Alternator failure while driving will cause the battery light to illuminate on the dashboard. Soon after, all electrical components will being to lose power, the vehicle will stall, and jump-starting will not be effective. The alternator can also fail due to the bearing that holds the internal rotating assembly, causing a grinding noise that changes with engine speed.
Can I drive with an alternator problem?
A vehicle with a weak alternator may be able to drive to a repair facility for diagnosis, but a vehicle with a failed alternator will not run after an external charger is removed from the battery.
How often do alternators need to be replaced?
Alternator failure is seemingly common, but in most cases an alternator can last 100,000 - 150,000 miles without incident. Harsh driving conditions, and aftermarket electrically powered accessories can decrease the useful life of the alternator.
How are alternator issues diagnosed?
Since the alternator is part of a group of components known as the starting and charging system, when there is a failure, the entire system must be tested to prevent mis-diagnosis, and unnecessary component replacement. Repair facilities use professional starting and charging system test equipment that automatically or manually tests every component in the starting and charging system simultaneously, and definitively. Prior to this test being conducted, the entire system must be physically inspected for damage, or lack of continuity.
How is an alternator replaced?
When replacing the alternator, the technician must remove the battery cables to prevent electric shock. Afterwards, the accessory drive belts or serpentine belts must be removed from the alternator, along with electrical connectors, and several bolts. Once the bolts are removed, the alternator is free from the alternator brackets, and can be removed. Replacement is in reverse order, and proper torque must be applied to prevent damage. The vehicle will then be retested in the same manner to ensure the repair is complete.
RepairPal Recommendations for alternator issues
Since the alternator requires the removal of the serpentine belt, replacing the serpentine belt is recommended if the belt is worn, or the service interval has been reached. If the battery cables were identified as having physical damage or extensive corrosion, they should be replaced as well.
What to look out for when dealing with alternator issues
On most modern vehicle's, the amount of room to work can be extremely limited, and that can play a significant role in repair cost. In some cases suspension components, drive axles, cooling fans, and bumpers must be removed to access the alternator. The manufacturer supplies an alternator with the vehicle that produces appropriate amperage for the original components. If additional electrical components are installed, the new alternator should be of a sufficient grade to handle additional power demands.
To prevent damage to the alternator, proper procedures must be followed when jump-starting the vehicle or when using a battery charger to charge the battery. Never disconnect the battery from the vehicle when the engine is running. The battery absorbs excess voltage from the alternator and without it, the higher voltage may destroy the vehicle's electrical and electronic components.
Since the alternator is designed to maintain a charged battery, charging a dead battery by driving the vehicle places a strain on the alternator. Charging a dead battery requires a sustained and substantial flow of current, which is not what the alternator is designed for. Repeatedly jump-starting and then driving a vehicle to charge the battery can lead to alternator failure.
Can I replace the alternator myself?
As mentioned before, the alternator can be placed in a location that is inaccessible without extensive deconstruction. In these cases, the replacement should be left to a professional technician to prevent damage, or improper installation of sensitive components. If the location of the alternator is accessible, a good understanding of starting and charging system diagnostics and repair can make this job a cost-saving DIY.

Broken. The (UK - DVD R2)
After this, if Marcus is ever in a room and a mirror smashes he's running away...
After a family get-together and the ominous incident of a wall mirror randomly shattering, strange events begin to unravel for the McVey family. Gina McVey (Lena Headey) spots someone looking exactly like her passing by in a car and, after following her doppelganger, discovers even more about the strange goings on. Unfortunately, before we get to find out the ins and outs, Gina has a car crash and her memory is fragmented leaving her with a sense that the people around her might not be as they seem.
The Broken is a movie that uses intrigue as its most powerful weapon. Literally from the get go it demands the audience keep asking questions. What's with all the self shattering mirrors? Why does that spilt cup of coffee move so strangely? What's going on with Gina's boyfriend? And of course, what the hell if going on here?
Writer/director Sean Ellis manipulates the events expertly and way above his seemingly low budget restraints. He weaves a rich, realistic and beautifully effective horror movie that is full of tension, suspense and shows a real sense of well delivered, well paced answers to keep the audience up to speed without giving the game away.
The entire movie feels great. Scenes blend into one another with a silent, slightly unsettling calm and the use of score is two thirds of the reason why this so damn tense and when this does turn into a real horror (about an hour into the film) it's a hell of a payoff.
It also has to be said that Ellis struck gold casting Lena Headey. She is absolutely mesmerising in this movie. She pulls you in to her turmoil without screaming and by using only minimal dialogue—you really gain a sense of this character's confusion and worry without it ever being rammed down your throat. In many ways it reminded me of Ripley in the first half of Alien 3 (and not just because of the red eye) as it's all quite internal and layered with a real sense of emptiness and both are performances I really enjoyed.
I wouldn't go as far as to say The Broken is original, with tensions stemming from the likes of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and its many remakes, and I also wouldn't say it was totally successful in its angle, mainly due to the big reveal being fairly guessable but as an entire package, The Broken impressed me a hell of a lot. It had me wanting to know the answers, and even though they are not totally laid out for the audience in regards to exactly what just occurred, I was satisfied nonetheless.
Solid enough, but not really going out of its way to impress. The Broken is a cold film in its design, lots of pale hospital hallways and plain bathrooms add little to it being a visual treat but in regards to how it makes the movie feel it is very effective.
Many areas are quite dark and details are nothing to write home about but considering that this is small budget and is a movie that ain't out to woo us with its visuals but rather play on the realism of everyday life, this works a hell of a lot better than most high budget flicks that try to look the same way.
As I said before The Broken is at least sixty percent reliant on its audio manipulation of its audience. The strong suspenseful score sneaks up on you a lot of the time and it totally effective at getting the heart pumping. The track also uses atmospheric noises wonderfully, using the rear speakers to have someone shuffling about in another room or merely to fill a tube station with the bustle of a crowd, it's all extremely effective and a fine bit of 5.1 surround sound.
Not too much to talk about here really. There's a behind the scenes (22:16) with some on set raw footage and a batch of interviews (23:11) with most of the cast and the director Sean Ellis. The interviews are those annoying text questions on a black screen and the edited short answers from the cast, a lot of it is quite repetitive and the style always bores me before the end though there are a few bits of interest included here.
I was quite surprised by how much I liked The Broken. I found it be an intelligent and different breath of fresh air in the current horror climate, even if it's far from original. The performances are all solid and the direction is well handled and it is very effective at giving you the creeps without too many actual scares.

"Excuse me, lady, do you have any spare change?"
This was the first thing he said to me, on 56th Street in New York City, right around the corner from Broadway, on a sunny September day.
And when I heard him, I didn't really hear him. His words were part of the clatter, like a car horn or someone yelling for a cab. They were, you could say, just noise—the kind of nuisance New Yorkers learn to tune out. So I walked right by him, as if he wasn't there.
But then, just a few yards past him, I stopped.
And then—and I'm still not sure why I did this—I came back.
I came back and I looked at him, and I realized he was just a boy. Earlier, out of the corner of my eye, I had noticed he was young. But now, looking at him, I saw that he was a child—tiny body, sticks for arms, big round eyes. He wore a burgundy sweatshirt that was smudged and frayed and ratty burgundy sweatpants to match. He had scuffed white sneakers with untied laces, and his fingernails were dirty. But his eyes were bright and there was a general sweetness about him. He was, I would soon learn, eleven years old.
He stretched his palm toward me, and he asked again, "Excuse me, lady, do you have any spare change? I am hungry."
What I said in response may have surprised him, but it really shocked me.
"If you're hungry," I said, "I'll take you to McDonald's and buy you lunch."
"Can I have a cheeseburger?" he asked.
"Yes," I said.
"How about a Big Mac?"
"That's okay, too."
"How about a Diet Coke?"
"Yes, that's okay."
"Well, how about a thick chocolate shake and French fries?"
I told him he could have anything he wanted. And then I asked him if I could join him for lunch.
He thought about it for a second.
"Sure," he finally said.
We had lunch together that day, at McDonald's.
And after that, we got together every Monday.
For the next 150 Mondays.
His name is Maurice, and he changed my life.
Why did I stop and go back to Maurice? It is easier for me to tell you why I ignored him in the first place. I ignored him, very simply, because he wasn't in my schedule.
You see, I am a woman whose life runs on schedules. I make appointments, I fill slots, I micromanage the clock. I bounce around from meeting to meeting, ticking things off a list. I am not merely punctual; I am fifteen minutes early for any and every engagement. This is how I live; it is who I am—but some things in life do not fit neatly into a schedule.
Rain, for example. On the day I met Maurice—September 1, 1986—a huge storm swept over the city, and I awoke to darkness and hammering rain. It was Labor Day weekend and the summer was slipping away, but I had tickets to the U.S. Open tennis tournament that afternoon—box seats, three rows from center court. I wasn't a big tennis fan, but I loved having such great seats; to me, the tickets were tangible evidence of how successful I'd become. In 1986 I was thirty-five years old and an advertising sales executive for USA Today, and I was very good at what I did, which was building relationships through sheer force of personality. Maybe I wasn't exactly where I wanted to be in my life—after all, I was still single, and another summer had come and gone without me finding that someone special—but by any standard I was doing pretty well. Taking clients to the Open and sitting courtside for free was just another measure of how far this girl from a working-class Long Island town had come.
But then the rains washed out the day, and by noon the Open had been postponed. I puttered around my apartment, tidied up a bit, made some calls, and read the paper until the rain finally let up in mid-afternoon. I grabbed a sweater and dashed out for a walk. I may not have had a destination, but I had a definite purpose—to enjoy the fall chill in the air and the peeking sun on my face, to get a little exercise, to say good-bye to summer. Stopping was never part of the plan.
And so, when Maurice spoke to me, I just kept going. Another thing to remember is that this was New York in the 1980s, a time when vagrants and panhandlers were as common a sight in the city as kids on bikes or moms with strollers. The nation was enjoying an economic boom, and on Wall Street new millionaires were minted every day. But the flip side was a widening gap between the rich and the poor, and nowhere was this more evident than on the streets of New York City. Whatever wealth was supposed to trickle down to the middle class did not come close to reaching the city's poorest, most desperate people, and for many of them the only recourse was living on the streets. After a while you got used to the sight of them—hard, gaunt men and sad, haunted women, wearing rags, camped on corners, sleeping on grates, asking for change. It is tough to imagine anyone could see them and not feel deeply moved by their plight. Yet they were just so prevalent that most people made an almost subconscious decision to simply look the other way—to, basically, ignore them. The problem seemed so vast, so endemic, that stopping to help a single panhandler could feel all but pointless. And so we swept past them every day, great waves of us going on with our lives and accepting that there was nothing we could really do to help.
There had been one homeless man I briefly came to know the winter before I met Maurice. His name was Stan, and he lived on the street off Sixth Avenue, not far from my apartment. Stan was a stocky guy in his midforties who owned a pair of wool gloves, a navy blue skullcap, old work shoes, and a few other things stuffed into plastic shopping bags, certainly not any of the simple creature comforts we take for granted—a warm blanket, for instance, or a winter coat. He slept on a subway grate, and the steam from the trains kept him alive.
One day I asked if he'd like a cup of coffee, and he answered that he would, with milk and four sugars, please. And it became part of my routine to bring him a cup of coffee on the way to work. I'd ask Stan how he was doing and I'd wish him good luck, until one morning he was gone and the grate was just a grate again, not Stan's spot. And just like that he vanished from my life, without a hint of what happened to him. I felt sad that he was no longer there and I often wondered what became of him, but I went on with my life and over time I stopped thinking about Stan. I hate to believe my compassion for him and others like him was a casual thing, but if I'm really honest with myself, I'd have to say that it was. I cared, but I didn't care enough to make a real change in my life to help. I was not some heroic do-gooder. I learned, like most New Yorkers, to tune out the nuisance.
Then came Maurice. I walked past him to the corner, onto Broadway, and, halfway to the other side in the middle of the avenue, just stopped. I stood there for a few moments, in front of cars waiting for the light to change, until a horn sounded and startled me. I turned around and hustled back to the sidewalk. I don't remember thinking about it or even making a conscious decision to turn around. I just remember doing it.
Looking back all these years later, I believe there was a strong, unseen connection that pulled me back to Maurice. It's something I call an invisible thread. It is, as the old Chinese proverb tells us, something that connects two people who are destined to meet, regardless of time and place and circumstance. Some legends call it the red string of fate; others, the thread of destiny. It is, I believe, what brought Maurice and me to the same stretch of sidewalk in a vast, teeming city—just two people out of eight million, somehow connected, somehow meant to be friends.
Look, neither of us is a superhero, nor even especially virtuous. When we met we were just two people with complicated pasts and fragile dreams. But somehow we found each other, and we became friends.
And that, you will see, made all the difference for us both.
The True Story of an 11-Year-Old Panhandler, a Busy Sales Executive, and an Unlikely Meeting with Destiny
An Invisible Thread
The True Story of an 11-Year-Old Panhandler, a Busy Sales Executive, and an Unlikely Meeting with Destiny
Stopping was never part of the plan...
She was a successful ad sales rep in Manhattan. He was a homeless, eleven-year-old panhandler on the street. He asked for spare change; she kept walking. But then something stopped her in her tracks, and she went back. And she continued to go back, again and again. They met up nearly every week for years and built an unexpected, life-changing friendship that has today spanned almost three decades.
Whatever made me notice him on that street corner so many years ago is clearly something that cannot be extinguished, no matter how relentless the forces aligned against it. Some may call it spirit. Some may call it heart. It drew me to him, as if we were bound by some invisible, unbreakable thread. And whatever it is, it binds us still.

It could have ended with a passing glance. He could have been just another panhandler, and she could have been one of many New Yorkers who simply walks on by. Instead, Laura Schroff stopped and bought lunch for eleven-year-old Maurice. From that day, their unique bond evolved into a profound friendship that changed the course of their lives in ways neither could have imagined.
1. An Invisible Thread introduces readers to some of the realities of poor families living in large metropolitan cities. How would you characterize Maurice's family life? What kind of differences do you think exist between urban and rural poverty?
2. Why do you think Maurice throws Laura's business card away? How does trust influence the early stages of their friendship? What about later in their relationship

lock_type: {
MySQL enables client sessions to acquire table locks explicitly for the purpose of cooperating with other sessions for access to tables, or to prevent other sessions from modifying tables during periods when a session requires exclusive access to them. A session can acquire or release locks only for itself. One session cannot acquire locks for another session or release locks held by another session.
Locks may be used to emulate transactions or to get more speed when updating tables. This is explained in more detail later in this section.
LOCK TABLES explicitly acquires
table locks for the current client session. Table locks can be
acquired for base tables or views. You must have the
LOCK TABLES privilege, and the
SELECT privilege for each object to
be locked.
For view locking,
LOCK TABLES adds
all base tables used in the view to the set of tables to be locked
and locks them automatically. If you lock a table explicitly with
LOCK TABLES, any tables used in
triggers are also locked implicitly, as described in
Section 126.96.36.199, "LOCK TABLES and Triggers".
TABLES explicitly releases any table locks held by the
current session.
implicitly releases any table locks held by the current session
before acquiring new locks.
Another use for
TABLES is to release the global read lock acquired with
statement, which enables you to lock all tables in all databases.
See Section 18.104.22.168, "FLUSH Syntax". (This is a very convenient way to get
backups if you have a file system such as Veritas that can take
snapshots in time.)
A table lock protects only against inappropriate reads or writes
by other sessions. A session holding a
lock can perform table-level operations such as
DROP TABLE or
TRUNCATE TABLE. For sessions
holding a
READ lock,
TABLE and
operations are not permitted.
The following discussion applies only to
TEMPORARY tables.
TABLES is permitted (but ignored) for a
TEMPORARY table. The table can be accessed
freely by the session within which it was created, regardless of
what other locking may be in effect. No lock is necessary because
no other session can see the table.
For information about other conditions on the use of
LOCK TABLES and statements that
cannot be used while
LOCK TABLES is
in effect, see Section 18.104.22.168, "Table-Locking Restrictions and Conditions"
Rules for Lock Acquisition
To acquire table locks within the current session, use the
LOCK TABLES statement. The
following lock types are available:
READ [LOCAL] lock:
The session that holds the lock can read the table (but not write it).
Multiple sessions can acquire a
READlock for the table at the same time.
Other sessions can read the table without explicitly acquiring a
LOCALmodifier enables nonconflicting
INSERTstatements (concurrent inserts) by other sessions to execute while the lock is held. (See Section 8.11.3, "Concurrent Inserts".) However,
READ LOCALcannot be used if you are going to manipulate the database using processes external to the server while you hold the lock. For
READ LOCALis the same as
[LOW_PRIORITY] WRITE lock:
The session that holds the lock can read and write the table.
Only the session that holds the lock can access the table. No other session can access it until the lock is released.
Lock requests for the table by other sessions block while the
WRITElock is held.
LOW_PRIORITYmodifier has no effect. In previous versions of MySQL, it affected locking behavior, but this is no longer true. It is now deprecated and its use produces a warning. Use
If the
LOCK TABLES statement must
wait due to locks held by other sessions on any of the tables, it
blocks until all locks can be acquired.
A session that requires locks must acquire all the locks that it
needs in a single
statement. While the locks thus obtained are held, the session can
access only the locked tables. For example, in the following
sequence of statements, an error occurs for the attempt to access
t2 because it was not locked in the
LOCK TABLES statement:
mysql> LOCK TABLES t1 READ;
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1;
| 3 |
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t2;
ERROR 1100 (HY000): Table 't2' was not locked with LOCK TABLES
Tables in the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA database are
an exception. They can be accessed without being locked explicitly
even while a session holds table locks obtained with
You cannot refer to a locked table multiple times in a single query using the same name. Use aliases instead, and obtain a separate lock for the table and each alias:
mysql> LOCK TABLE t WRITE, t AS t1 READ;
mysql> INSERT INTO t SELECT * FROM t;
ERROR 1100: Table 't' was not locked with LOCK TABLES
mysql> INSERT INTO t SELECT * FROM t AS t1;
The error occurs for the first
INSERT because there are two
references to the same name for a locked table. The second
INSERT succeeds because the
references to the table use different names.
If your statements refer to a table by means of an alias, you must lock the table using that same alias. It does not work to lock the table without specifying the alias:
mysql> LOCK TABLE t READ;
mysql> SELECT * FROM t AS myalias;
ERROR 1100: Table 'myalias' was not locked with LOCK TABLES
Conversely, if you lock a table using an alias, you must refer to it in your statements using that alias:
mysql> LOCK TABLE t AS myalias READ;
mysql> SELECT * FROM t;
ERROR 1100: Table 't' was not locked with LOCK TABLES
mysql> SELECT * FROM t AS myalias;
WRITE locks normally have higher priority than
READ locks to ensure that updates are processed
as soon as possible. This means that if one session obtains a
READ lock and then another session requests a
WRITE lock, subsequent
lock requests wait until the session that requested the
WRITE lock has obtained the lock and released
LOCK TABLES acquires locks as
Sort all tables to be locked in an internally defined order. From the user standpoint, this order is undefined.
If a table is to be locked with a read and a write lock, put the write lock request before the read lock request.
Lock one table at a time until the session gets all locks.
This policy ensures that table locking is deadlock free.
LOCK TABLES or
TABLES, when applied to a partitioned table, always
locks or unlocks the entire table; these statements do not
support partition lock pruning. See
Section 22.6.4, "Partitioning and Locking".
Rules for Lock Release
When the table locks held by a session are released, they are all released at the same time. A session can release its locks explicitly, or locks may be released implicitly under certain conditions.
A session can release its locks explicitly with
If a session issues a
LOCK TABLESstatement to acquire a lock while already holding locks, its existing locks are released implicitly before the new locks are granted.
If a session begins a transaction (for example, with
START TRANSACTION), an implicit
UNLOCK TABLESis performed, which causes existing locks to be released. (For additional information about the interaction between table locking and transactions, see Section 18.104.22.168, "Interaction of Table Locking and Transactions".)
If the connection for a client session terminates, whether normally or abnormally, the server implicitly releases all table locks held by the session (transactional and nontransactional). If the client reconnects, the locks will no longer be in effect. In addition, if the client had an active transaction, the server rolls back the transaction upon disconnect, and if reconnect occurs, the new session begins with autocommit enabled. For this reason, clients may wish to disable auto-reconnect. With auto-reconnect in effect, the client is not notified if reconnect occurs but any table locks or current transaction will have been lost. With auto-reconnect disabled, if the connection drops, an error occurs for the next statement issued. The client can detect the error and take appropriate action such as reacquiring the locks or redoing the transaction. See Section 27.8.20, "C API Automatic Reconnection Control".
If you use
ALTER TABLE on a
locked table, it may become unlocked. For example, if you
attempt a second
operation, the result may be an error
'. To handle this, lock the table again prior to
the second alteration. See also
Section B.5.6.1, "Problems with ALTER TABLE".
tbl_name' was not locked with LOCK
This marginal effect will be limited, though: in most cases the session LOCKing a table will be writing to the same table before UNLOCKing, which will cause the query cache to be flushed for that table.
This is just using the database to create and manage a semaphore instead of using the OS directly (and of course it's not "real" locking but only advisory locking, so it won't work if you can't cooperate with other users), but on the other hand using the database allows the semaphore to be accessed by multiple other servers accessing the DB over a network.

Texas Gov. Perry Pleads Not Guilty
Potential 2016 Presidential Candidate Waives Arraignment
AUSTIN, Texas—Gov. Rick Perry formally has pleaded not guilty to felony charges that he abused his power by threatening to veto funding from an elected Democratic district attorney. In a filing late Tuesday, he waived the right to an arraignment hearing, choosing instead to enter a written plea.
A grand jury indicted the Republican governor Friday on two felony counts for allegedly improperly threatening to veto $7.5 million in funding for the Travis County Public Integrity Unit, which handles political-corruption investigations...

WINTER PARK, Fla. — Newt Gingrich is presenting an increasingly contradictory picture to Florida voters, portraying himself as an anti-establishment outsider and a consummate Washington insider, often in the same speech.
While some voters happily embrace one or both sides of Gingrich's story, others are puzzled and troubled by a message that seems at war with itself.
After recounting Gingrich's recent blasts at the GOP establishment and "Washington elites," Wayne Slaymaker said Gingrich "was distancing himself from that. But that's what he's part of."
Slaymaker, 55, had come to hear Gingrich speak Saturday at Aloma Baptist Church in Winter Park. The self-employed plumber said he was undecided on how he will vote in Tuesday's primary. A lingering question, Slaymaker said, is whether Gingrich "is going to revert" to his proud embrace of detailed knowledge and experience in the federal government.
It's unclear whether Gingrich's sometimes confusing message has contributed to his apparent dip in Florida polls. More damaging, perhaps, is the flood of TV ads that attack the former House speaker's 20-year record in Congress. The ads are funded by rival candidate Mitt Romney and a political committee that supports him.
Romney's backers say Gingrich wants to have it both ways by claiming that he's a deeply experienced government operative and a fire-breathing outsider. They want him to have it neither way. Gingrich's record in government's highest ranks, they say, is precisely why he should not be president.
Gingrich "often spewed insulting rhetoric at Reagan, his top aides, and his policies to defeat communism," Elliott Abrams, assistant secretary of state under President Ronald Reagan, wrote in the conservative journal National Review. "Gingrich was voluble and certain in predicting that Reagan's policies would fail, and in all of this he was dead wrong."
Of course it's possible for a veteran lawmaker even a former House speaker to be the anti-establishment candidate when pitted against a favorite of party insiders like Romney, a former Massachusetts governor. Gingrich relishes that role at times, and it helped him win the South Carolina primary on Jan. 21.
But Gingrich at times goes into such numbing detail about his long experience in Washington politics that it's seemingly hard to square it with his claim to be the anti-elite champion of wholesale change. At Aloma Baptist, Gingrich recounted his role in the elections of 1980, 1984, 1988 and, most notably, 1994. That's when he led the GOP revolution that gave Republicans control of the House for the first time in 40 years.
He then detailed his skills at working with Democrats to get things done.
"When I got to be speaker in 1994, Bill Clinton was president," Gingrich told the crowd of several hundred. "If I wanted to move from speeches to achievements, I had to get his signature, and he had to get me to schedule a vote." They often argued, Gingrich said, "but we reformed welfare, we cut taxes, we strengthened intelligence, we balanced the budget."
Pointing to his wife, Gingrich continued: "Callista used to be the chief clerk of the House Agriculture Committee, which is a very bipartisan committee. I used to serve on Public Works and House Administration, which are bipartisan."
To overhaul the nation's judiciary, bureaucracy and laws, Gingrich said, America needs someone "who knows how to actually get things done in Washington. We've tried an amateur for the last three years," he said, referring to President Barack Obama. "While he may be good at business, Gov. Romney has never had one bit of experience trying to get something done in Washington on a big scale."
At other moments in Florida, Gingrich has emphasized strikingly different qualities. Speaking Thursday to a tea party crowd in Mount Dora, he unleashed one of his sharpest blasts at the political establishment.
"I am running for president to represent you, not to represent the Washington lobbyists, not to represent Goldman Sachs, not to represent the people who have been ruining this country," he said.
"The Republican establishment is just as much of an establishment as the Democratic establishment," he said. "And they're just as determined to stop us. .. This is the desperate last stand of the old order."
Romney supporters say it's ludicrous to hang an outsider label on someone who has lived in Washington more than 30 years, once was behind only the vice president in line for the presidency, and made millions of dollars advising groups such as mortgage giant Freddie Mac in government circles.
"It's so absurd it's laughable," Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told NBC in Mount Dora, where he monitored Gingrich's appearance. "He is the epitome of career politicians."
Chaffetz, first elected in 2008, said many House newcomers back Romney "because we want someone from the outside."
The apparent contradictions don't bother some voters. Several Republicans in Mount Dora embraced Gingrich's outsider image while others praised his Washington experience.
"He pulled us out once before, he can do it again," said Patti Wood, 66, giving Gingrich credit for the balanced budgets of Clinton's second term.
Barb Johnson, 52, dismissed pro-Romney ads that show Gingrich sitting with then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to discuss a joint effort to combat climate change.

Some believe that Christianity is a male-dominated religion that reduces women to an inferior status. Or there is discrimination based on sexist in the Bible which claims that it is true book. As I am a Christian, I will defend with some reasons that Christianity is not sexist at all. First of all, the God of the Bible is not male in any sense, because God is not a sexual being. Jesus taught that God is Spirit (John 4:24) and not one who brings things into existence through procreation. The Bible also tells God is not to be represented as either a male or a female. Second, the Bible use feminine descriptions or imagery when it speaks of God. If you have the Bible, please look and find (Deuteronomy 32:18, James 1:18, Matthew 23:37-39). Thirdly, Jesus did not set up a male-dominated religious system in which women would be permanently subjugated. He surprised his followers by teaching theology to women in private and in public (Luke 10:38-42). Some of feminist opposes to Christianity because of discrimination based on sexism in the Bible, but the truth is that The Bible does not talk about sexism God.
@Gene Park
"The Bible also tells God is not to be represented as either a male or a female." Where does it say that?
Also, you have not addressed the many sexist teachings in the Bible. Read 1 Corinthians 11, 1 Corinthians 14, Ephesians 5, 1 Timothy 2, 1 Peter 3, Genesis 3:16, or Job 25:4

John Keats (pronounced /ˈkiːts/; 31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. Along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, he was one of the key figures in the second generation of the Romantic movement, despite the fact that his work had been in publication for only four years before his death.[1] During his life, his poems were not generally well received by critics; however, after his death, his reputation grew to the extent that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He has had a significant influence on a diverse range of later poets and writers: Jorge Luis Borges, for instance, stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.[2]
The poetry of Keats is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are considered as among the most popular and analyzed in English literature.
John Keats was born on 31 October 1795 to Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats. He was the eldest of their four surviving children, George (1797–1841), Thomas (1799–1818), and Frances Mary "Fanny" (1803–89). A son was also lost in infancy. John was born in central London, although there is no clear evidence of the exact location.[3] His father at first worked as an ostler[4] at the stables attached to the Swan and Hoop inn, an establishment Thomas later managed and where the growing family would live for some years. The Keats at the Globe pub now occupies the site, a few yards from modern day Moorgate station. Keats was baptised at St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate and sent to a local dame school as an infant. In the summer of 1803, unable to attend Eton or Harrow due to the expense,[5][6] he was sent to board at John Clarke's school in Enfield, close to his grandparents' house. The small school had a liberal and progressive outlook, with a curriculum ahead of its time, a place altogether more modern than the larger, more prestigious schools. [7] In the family atmosphere at Clarke's, Keats developed an interest in classics and history which would stay with him throughout his short life. The headmaster's son, Charles Cowden Clarke, would become an important influence, mentor and friend, introducing Keats to Renaissance literature including Tasso, Spenser and Chapman's translations. The instability of Keats's childhood gave rise to a volatile character "always in extremes", given to indolence and fighting. However at 13 he began focusing his energy towards reading and study, winning his first academic prize in midsummer 1809. [7]

Northampton MP calls David Cameron a 'Chambermaid'
PM branded a "Chambermaid" by Northampton MP
David Cameron has come under fire from another of the region's MPs.
Northampton South MP Brian Binley branded the Prime Minister a "chambermaid" for the Conservatives' coalition partners.
Mr Binley said what the Government actually needed was a major change of direction
In a post on his website, he wrote: "What the country, the Conservative party and the captain of the ship needs now is not so much a reshuffle as a rethink.
"Rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic will do nothing to alter the impression that the ship has lost its way."
He said Mr Cameron needed to change his relationship with the Lib Dems and also build bridges with disaffected Conservatives.
He criticised Mr Cameron for agreeing to the "self-indulgent lunacy" of the Lib Dems.
"The country needs a full-time Prime Minister and not a chambermaid for a marginal, irrelevant pressure group who have got him in a virtual arm-lock with a constant stream of threats to abandon ship."
Mr Binley, treasurer of the 1922 Committee of backbench Tories, said the Prime Minister should repair the damage in his relationship with the party's grassroots.
Northampton South MP Mr Binley's intervention follows the criticism of Mr Cameron from senior Conservative Tim Yeo, who questioned the Prime Minister's political courage over the issue of a third runway at Heathrow.

1. Re: TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 installRohirm Oct 26, 2009 10:30 PM (in response to georgewillow)
Same here! I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Windows asked me to restart and after that it stopped working and serial number is BAD_CTX.
I googled about it and some people got it working with hdderase. I am still hoping there is a way to fix this without loosing all the data.. but that might be too much to hope for.
I tried to update the firmware again, but the tool says it is already updated. Is there a way to "update" it back to the old 2CV102G9 firmware? If that helps..
Where can I get the old firmware?
I hope Intel can answer is my SSD dead for good or is there a way to get it work again?
My computer is not a "brand computer", it is a home build one. Q6600, ASUS P5B etc. Windows is installed with AHCI, I updated the firmware in IDE mode and changed it back to AHCI after update.

I have the same problem. I have a Asus P5E, The X25-M80G2 is on sata port 2, IDE, legacy mode, After the flash i have a S.M.A.R.T failure. I tried to update the firmware again. But the tool says it is already updated. I have Ubuntu 9.10 and W7 RC installed on the disk.
I can sea the disk on a other system whit W7 on it. I can't create a partition or delete one Is there any solution?
3. Re: TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 installambizytl Oct 26, 2009 3:14 PM (in response to pwx)
I don't know what you guys did, but I installed the new firmware on Windows 7 64-bit and had to restart but no problem here. I even restarted again on my own after reading this post. I reset the BIOS back to AHCI after the firmware update before going to desktop. I did the firmware update on both X25-M G2 160GB and X25-M G2 80GB drives.
4. Re: TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 installHoudini7 Oct 26, 2009 4:01 PM (in response to georgewillow)
Same problem as the OP!
The updater showed a successful firware update.
The computer re-booted just fine once.
Once within Windows, it installed some drivers and asked for a reboot.
Upon reboot, 50 Disk Errors were reported
Windows marked those file segments as bad
Disk Read Error!
System is now DOA
EVGA x58 Classified
Win 7 64
Intel x25-M SATA: 0

Stinks that some people are having troubles. Hopefully, the reason can be found. Mine went fine. Win7 did ask for a reboot after the upgrade. No errors after.the reboot.
6. Re: TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 installambizytl Oct 26, 2009 4:33 PM (in response to sjm817)
I didn't have a problem either. I don't know what drivers they say were installed, haven't found anything different.
7. Re: TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 installgeorgewillow Oct 26, 2009 4:39 PM (in response to georgewillow)
My Dell is a P55 Core i5 system if it matters. I had no special SATA drivers installed, just the ones that Windows 7 installed. It was running in ATA mode, RAID was disabled.
8. Re: TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 installambizytl Oct 26, 2009 5:26 PM (in response to georgewillow)
I think this may be an issue with Dell, which I would never buy. Try calling Dell for support, just keep the aspirin bottle handy.
I installed the firmware in non-AHCI mode, no RAID or AHCI and it went smoothly. I have just the Microsoft drivers in Windows 7 64-bit. I followed the instructions for making the firmware CD.
9. Re: TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 installgeorgewillow Oct 26, 2009 6:12 PM (in response to ambizytl)
Don't think it's a Dell issue. There are 2 other reports here of the same problem with different hardware.
10. Re: TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 installShade Oct 26, 2009 6:46 PM (in response to georgewillow)
I am experiencing the same behavior as the OP. I ran the firmware update and it reported success. I rebooted, Windows7 installed some drivers, and requested to reboot, which I did. When I reboot, the computer will POST, but then I am presented with a screen that reads the following:
A disk read error has occurred. Press CTRL-ALT-DELETE to reboot.
This is an 80GB X25-M G2 on a Gateway laptop (P-6860FX). The drive had been running Windows 7 Professional x64 since last Friday without issue. When I disconnect the SSD, I am at least able to boot into my old Vista drive.
Please advise!
11. Re: TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 installambizytl Oct 26, 2009 6:51 PM (in response to Shade)
What drivers did it install? I keep reading about drivers being installed but I didn't see any after updating firmware. So why do you say drivers were installed?
I built my own computer so no Dell or Gateway here.
12. Re: TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 installgeorgewillow Oct 26, 2009 6:58 PM (in response to ambizytl)
Upon rebooting into Windows 7, Windows began installing new drivers automatically. Don't know what it was installing, but it requested a reboot when it was done and poof! I get SMART errors in the BIOS screen at posting. I tried to reformat and install Windows again, but the Windows installer could recognize the SMART errors and said I couldn't install Windows on a drive that had potential errors. It's not a Dell or Gateway issue. There is a guy with an ASUS MB and one with an EVGA MB with the same problems.
13. Re: TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 installweuntouchable Oct 26, 2009 7:09 PM (in response to georgewillow)
My Windows 7 Install appears to be hosed too. And this is not a Dell issue as I have a custom built PC. Exact same issue as the other people who had the problem: Firmware updates, Windows Reboots and installs something, and then errors or a black screen after reboot. The errors occur when I disable my raid array again, the black screen occurs with the Raid array enabled.
Can anyone who is having the problem get the drive to initialize? When I try to repair or reinstall Windows 7 it just hangs after selecting a language and the option to install or repair. I booted my computer with a Live Linux Disc and it sees the drive, but it can't access it at all. The only thing on the SSD was my OS and program files so I don't have a problem re-installing but that doesn't seem to be an option.
I think Intel may have a few RMAs on their hands in the near future.
14. Re: TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 installambizytl Oct 26, 2009 7:12 PM (in response to georgewillow)
All you guys with commercial computers having problems, and me with my home-built computer having all go smoothly. The motherboard isn't likely to be a problem, but BIOS setting might be. I still don't knpw why you say it installed drivers when you don't know what drivers were installed. After the firmware update, my computer rebooted but I don't know why or what transpired. After you updated the firmware, did you reset the BIOS to AHCI before going to desktop? And set your computer to boot from Hard Drive?
