Cruz On The Minds Of Republican Voters
DALLAS (AP) - Although U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz isn't a candidate this election season, he remains on the minds of Republican primary voters deciding the highly charged race for lieutenant governor.
Susan Cartwright cast her ballot Tuesday in Aledo, west of Fort Worth, for state Sen. Dan Patrick, saying if he's elected to replace incumbent David Dewhurst then she expects Patrick to follow in Cruz's footsteps. She believes constitutional rights are being "whittled away" and firebrands like Cruz and Patrick are needed to maintain them.
Tim Shell of The Woodlands describes himself as a "Cruz guy" who voted for Patrick because it's time for "patriots" to sweep out ineffective political leaders.
But Charles Jacobus of Houston says although he supports Cruz, he voted for Dewhurst because he believes Patrick sounds "like a mad old man."

Recently in gymnastics Category
Every Tuesday, UK Athletics recognizes outstanding performances for our student-athletes. These are the honorees for the week ending Sunday, March 25:
Gymnastics: Holly Cunningham
Sophomore Holly Cunningham posted the highest individual score for Kentucky at the SEC Championships with her career-high tying 9.85 on vault. Has now posted a 9.8 or higher on vault in nine of her last 10 meets.
Softball: Griffin Joiner
Freshman Griffin Joiner was her continued steady-self offering the Wildcats a .300 batting clip and a pair of crucial RBI in helping clinch a series over No. 18/21 Auburn. Joiner gave UK a 1-0 lead in both of the final two games of the series with the Tigers. In Saturday's game the lead would be one UK would not relinquish en route to earning a series win over the Tigers for just the fourth time in school history. Her sacrifice fly in the final game of the series proved to be UK's lone scoring of the game and it was a lead UK held until Auburn mounted a two-run bottom of the seventh rally to salvage a sweep. Joiner's presence at catcher cannot go unnoticed. She logged a perfect 1.000 fielding clip while notching 28 putouts and four assists. Runners attempted to steal on her a mere three times, and she successfully turned the play in all three attempts not allowing any runners to advance a base on her watch. Her success rate discouraged additional attempts as teams opted for sacrifice hits and hit-and-runs.
Men's tennis: Alex Musialek
Became the 14th player in school history to record 100 singles wins with his come-from-behind win over No. 82 Roberto Maytin of Baylor. The native of Dax, France, earned the historic win in a three-set thriller over No. 82 Roberto Maytin at No. 2 singles. After dropping the first set 3-6, Musialek dominated the second set 6-1 and then rolled in the third set 6-4 to grab the win.
Baseball: Alex Phillips
Senior southpaw Alex Phillips had a pair of strong relief outings in helping the Wildcats extend their NCAA-leading 24-1 record with a series win at Tennessee and a midweek win at Cincinnati ... In game two of the series at UT, Phillips entered the game after a rain storm had halted play on Sunday, working the final 4.1 shutout innings to post a win to even that series ... In a midweek win at UC, Phillips entered when the steady UK bullpen was allowing six runs to make the contest tight ... Phillips immediately got UK out of any trouble to lock the save down with two innings and two strikeouts ... On the year, Phillips owns a 3-0 record and a 2.11 ERA in 10 relief outings, tossing 21.1 innings, allowing only 12 hits and five walks, striking out 19, with a .190 opposing batting average.
Baseball: J.T. Riddle
Sophomore second baseman J.T. Riddle had a clutch week in helping No. 2 Kentucky to a midweek win at Cincinnati and a series victory at Tennessee ... Riddle's clutch hitting led UK to the series win over the Vols, UK's first in Knoxville since the 2008 season and helped the Wildcats improve to a nation-leading 24-1, including a 5-1 mark in SEC play ... After the Wildcats suffered their first loss of the year in the series opener on Friday night to snap a 22-game winning streak, Riddle's bat paced UK to the series-evening win in game two, batting 3-for-4 with three RBI, a homer and a triple ... In the series finale, a seven-inning game, the two teams were locked in a scoreless pitching duel in the top of the sixth when Riddle smacked a double off the wall in leftfield to score the go-ahead and game-winning run ... In a midweek win at UC, Riddle scored a pair of runs and added an RBI single ... In addition to his contributions at the plate, Riddle has played stellar defense at second base, with his instincts, range and arm strength helping the UK defensive unit rank second in the SEC in fielding ... On the year, Riddle has hit .318 (28-for-88), with five doubles, one triple, one homer and 18 RBI, with his 23 runs scored ranking eighth in the league.
Softball: Rachel Riley
Senior Rachel Riley was flawless in her two starts and two victories this week in UK's impressive 3-1 weekend including taking a series from No. 18/21 Auburn for just the fourth time school history. Riley earned the decisive-series clinching victory over the Tigers with a complete-game effort. She worked 7.0 innings yielding just one earned run and limiting Auburn to a mere five hits. She struck out four in the win. The win marked the ninth of her career over a top-25 ranked opponent and the first in her senior campaign. She also contributed offensively with a 2-for-4 day at the dish which was her sixth multi-hit outing of the season. In UK's non-conference victory in front of her hometown of Bowling Green, Ky., on the campus of Western Kentucky, Riley again worked a complete-game. She struck out six batters and allowed just five Hilltopper hits. She also logged a 1-for-4 day at the plate in the UK victory. With 10 strikeouts this weekend, Riley moved into fifth place on UK's all-time career strikeout list. With two wins she also becomes just one of three pitchers in school history with 35 or more career wins.
Baseball: Chandler Shepherd
Right-hander Chandler Shepherd made his first career road start at Big East foe Cincinnati on Wednesday, posting his second career win ... Shepherd worked a career-long 5.2 innings, allowing five hits and two runs, striking out two ... Shepherd worked five shutout innings and came out for the sixth inning in an effort to extend his pitch count, with the Bearcats scoring two on a triple ... On the year, Shepherd has appeared in five games with four starts, posting a 2-0 record and a 3.15 ERA, in 20 innings, walking five and striking out 11.

Came on in the ninth inning with UK nursing a 4-3 lead and a runner at second base and no outs in the series-clinching win over USC on Saturday ... After getting a sacrifice bunt to move the runner to third base, Gott struck out the next two hitters to end the game and leave the game-tying and inherited runner stranded at third base ... In the series finale, after UK allowed a leadoff runner to reach base on an error in the ninth inning with UK looking for the sweep, came out of the pen to get three consecutive outs to finish off the game and sweep the Gamecocks ...

Maile hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning in the series opener, a blast to dead centerfield with UK trailing by a run, part of a three-RBI game ... In the second game of the series, Maile delivered another clutch RBI single in UK's 4-3 win over the Cocks ... In the finale, Maile set the tone by launching his fifth homer of the year in the first inning off USC's Colby Holmes, leading UK to the sweep-clinching win ... Maile's walk-off homer was his staggering seventh game-winning RBI of the season, leading the team and tying the team leader Thomas McCarthy's seven game-winning RBI from the entire 2011 season ...

Kentucky did not perform particularly well, losing 197.225-193.125 with Georgia reeling off a ridiculous score. However, in the face of that setback, this group pulled together to decide they had finally had enough. The feeling was different. While this story could have taken a turn for the worst, it was just reaching its climax.
Do-it-all freshman Alexis Gross, who came in second Saturday to teammate Audrey Harrison in all-around competition posting a score of 38.875, has emerged as a vocal presence this year. The outspoken rookie noticed that even though her team did not perform to their best abilities in Georgia, there was no quit in this team.
The seniors (Storey Morris and Whitney Rose) have led the way, the freshmen have weaved themselves into the fiber of the team and those walk-ons are performing at a high level.
All is well in the world of Kentucky sports after a weekend that saw the men's and women's basketball teams keep their tournament runs alive, baseball pull off a sweep of the two-time defending national champions and gymnastics finish off the regular season on a high note.
A big thanks to Metz Camfield and Ryan Suckow who stepped in and provided some great coverage of UK Hoops and baseball as I follow the men throughout March Madness. We're going to keep the content coming over the next few weeks, so stay with us.
Anyway, there's never a dull moment in March, so let's get to a few odds and ends on another nice morning in Lexington:
- The big story on this Monday is Matthew Mitchell and his Wildcats taking the floor for a second-round matchup with seventh-seeded and 10th-ranked - yes, you read that right - Green Bay (31-1). It's not often that a No. 2 seed like Kentucky faces a more highly ranked team in the second round, but that's the unique circumstance that will take place on Monday at 9:45 p.m. in Ames, Iowa. Metz wrote about that exact topic on Sunday afternoon, so check it out if you haven't already. We'll be live blogging the game beginning around 9:30 p.m., so come join us.
- The only other UK team in action today is No. 7 men's tennis, which takes the court for the first time in over a week with a doubleheader against Baylor at noon and Murray State at 6:45 p.m. It's a beautiful day, so head over to the Boone Tennis Center.
- After a pair of impressive performances in Louisville, the men get a few days off before they have a Sweet 16 rematch with fourth-seeded Indiana. Late last night, it was announced UK-IU would tip off at 9:45 p.m. on Friday in Atlanta. Based on the fact that Georgia Dome officials tweeted last night that tickets in the upper level are now available due to demand from fans, it should be quite an atmosphere. Additionally, UK will hold an open practice at the Georgia Dome on Thursday from 3:10 p.m. to 4 p.m.
- Anthony Davis is among four finalists for the Naismith Award, given annually to the national player of the year. Now that the field has been narrowed, fans can submit their votes on behalf of Davis. Fan votes will comprise 25 percent of the final tally, so you can really make a difference in Davis' candidacy. The other three finalists are Thomas Robinson of Kansas, Draymond Green of Michigan State and Doug McDermott of Creighton. Text VOTE to 34763 or head to this link to cast your ballot.
- It got lost in the shuffle a bit with the NCAA Tournament's first weekend going on, but the No. 23 gymnastics team had yet another strong showing this weekend, defeating Centenary in its final meet of the regular season. Tim Garrison has carried the team to new heights in his first season as head coach and Ryan Suckow will have a story on that topic later this afternoon. Next up is a trip to Duluth, Ga., for the SEC Championships. Conveniently, Duluth is less than 30 miles from Atlanta, so fans can stop over on Saturday, the day between basketball games.
"I was standing under the basket and saw a pass headed right at my head," Bilas recalled Tuesday. "I was just ducking when all of a sudden two big hands come out of nowhere and grab the ball like it was tossed. I mean, this was a bullet, and I was sure it was going to hit me."Davis caught the ball and scored."Holy (Toledo)," Bilas recalled thinking. "That was one of the best catches I can remember."
After winning all 16 of its league regular-season games by an average of 16.4 points, UK won by a combined 12 points against LSU and Florida -- two teams the Cats had previously throttled -- in the SEC quarterfinals and semifinals. Then they collapsed over the final five minutes against the Commodores."I'm a little bit of a perfectionist. I want them to dominate people," Calipari said. "It may not be fair, but that's how I view these guys -- trying to get them to that next level, trying to make sure that they understand you're going to have to outwork the other teams."
With President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron seated in the front row along one baseline, this so-called "First Four" game of the 2012 NCAA Tournament ranked first only chronologically until a improbable Western Kentucky rally made it memorable.Western came back from 16 down in the final five minutes to win 59-58.
He talked then about how that SEC tourney loss motivated that team."It was a game where I thought that was the best loss we could have had," said Delk, who was a senior in 1996. "Because going into the tournament, you didn't want to be too high."If we had won that game, it could have been, 'OK, we're going to cruise through this and we're going to win easily.' We could have gotten knocked off early. We re-focused ourselves."
Calipari certainly appears to have succeeded based on that method of evaluation. Kentucky (32-2) enters the NCAA tournament as a clear title favorite after being one Christian Watford buzzer-beating three away from an undefeated regular season.If Calipari does not cut down the nets with this Kentucky team, the pressure on him to win his first ring will only intensify. Here's a look at where Calipari ranks on my list of college basketball's best all-time coaches who did not win a championship.
Kentucky has pulled off another sweep of the awards, this time for The Associated Press All-Southeastern Conference women's basketball team.A'dia Mathies was named player of the year Tuesday, Matthew Mitchell claimed the coaching award, and Bria Goss picked up newcomer of the year. On Monday, the Wildcats took all three awards for the men's team.
The No. 2 seed is the second in school history for the Wildcats, and ties their highest seed ever in the tournament. Kentucky was also a two seed in 1982. The other first-round matchup in Ames, Iowa, features No. 7 seed Green Bay (30-1) and No. 10 seed Iowa State (18-12)."It's a really historic night for us, and we're so excited," UK Hoops head coach Matthew Mitchell said. "It's the first time in our school's history that the women's program has been to three straight tournaments. It's the first time we've ever gotten a seed this high (since 1982). It's a great night for us and we couldn't be more excited about advancing to the tournament and getting a two seed and having a chance to compete for a national championship. It's a real, real exciting night for our program."
Freshman A.J. Reed pitched six dominating innings and had three hits, including a home run, and three RBIs to power the 16th-ranked and unbeaten University of Kentucky baseball team past Wright State 9-1 on Tuesday at Cliff Hagan Stadium.The 6-foot-4, 235-poound Reed (3-0) became the first player in UK's modern-era history (1979-present) to start a game on the mound and at the cleanup batter. He allowed seven hits and the run, throwing first-pitch strikes to the first 21 batters.
Courtney Lee and rookie Chandler Parsons each scored 21 points, Patrick Patterson blocked Serge Ibaka's point-blank putback attempt in the final 2 seconds, and the Rockets charged back from an 11-point deficit in the last 3 minutes to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 104-103 on Tuesday night.
One person didn't view Brandon Knight's breakout game on Saturday night as a breakout: Knight himself.Knight jumped out like a rocket in the Pistons' blowout win over the Toronto Raptors, atoning for two low volume performances in wins against the Lakers and Hawks (six points, seven assists total). He scored all 19 of his points in the first half and finished with seven assists.
Forward Tayshaun Prince became the sixth player in franchise history Saturday to play in 700 career games with Detroit. Prince, a 2002 draft pick, has played at least 78 games in seven of his nine seasons. The only players who have played more games in a Pistons uniform are Joe Dumars (1,018), Isiah Thomas (979), Bill Laimbeer (937), Vinnie Johnson (798) and Lindsey Hunter (703).

Softball: Chanda Bell
Senior Chanda Bell enjoyed a successful week on the mound for the Wildcats en route to All-Tournament team honors at the Ragin' Cajun Invitational.

She notched a season-high seven fanned batters in a six-inning win over Stephen F. Austin. Her save in the first game with the Jacks moved her into fourth all-time in saves. Bell increased her career win total to 57 games as she moved into just second all-time in career starts at UK. Bell gave up just 0.61 hits per inning pitched this weekend as batter's averaged just a .170 batting average against UK's right-hander.
Softball: Kara Dill
Junior Kara Dill continued her explosive offensive play with a team-high nine hits for a .500 batting average in leading UK to a 3-2 week at the Ragin' Cajun Invitational. Dill's efforts earned her All-Tournament team accolades for the second consecutive tournament. She's put together a career-long 15-game hitting streak which included at least one hit in all five contests this week. She scored a team-high eight times and drove in four runs as well. In a win over Stephen F. Austin she registered a single, double and triple for the second time this season. She was also perfect on the base paths with three stolen bases. Dill has been the offensive spark for the Wildcats as UK logged three run-rule victories this weekend including scoring eight or more runs in three victories.
Gymnastics: Audrey Harrison
Finished third in the all-around competition with a career-best all-around score of 39.225. Tied a career high on vault with a 9.825 and bars with a 9.775, while setting a career high on beam with a 9.825. Is currently ranked 33rd in the nation in the all-around competition with an RQS of 39.035
Softball: Griffin Joiner
Freshman Griffin Joiner moved into the No. 3 spot in the batting order and enjoyed a tremendous offensive weekend en route to All-Tournament team honors. Joiner led the Wildcats with a .571 batting average and ranked second on the team with four RBI. She strung together a career-long hitting streak of eight games and four consecutive games with at least one RBI. In a win over Stephen F. Austin she posted her first career double, and in the heartbreaking loss to No. 12 Louisiana she enjoyed her first career perfect outing at the plate with three hits and a walk in the win. In the second victory over the Jacks, she became the second UK player this season to score three runs in a single game. For the week, she batted more than .200 higher than her season average and scored five of her nine total runs for the season.
Baseball: Corey Littrell
Turned in a quality start in UK's sweep-clinching win over UIC ... Picked up the win with six shutout innings, allowing only two hits, walking two and striking out seven ... Allowed only two hits - both to the same hitter - with his two walks coming as two-out free passes ... On the year, Littrell has a 2-0 record and a 1.89 ERA in three starts, striking out 20 and walking four in 19 innings, allowing only 11 hits and a .177 batting average.
Baseball: Luke Maile
Had a monster week in leading UK to the nation's best record and one of only two undefeated teams in college baseball ... Led UK to five wins during the week with a .500 average (9-for-18) with three doubles, one homer and six RBI ... Caught all five games during the week behind the plate as UK senior catcher Michael Williams was held out as an injury precaution ... Finished with three walks and one strikeout during the week, with his strikeout the first of the 11-game season and his first encompassing all of UK's preseason scrimmages ... In UK's 3-2 win over Morehead State on Tuesday, Maile went 1-for-3 with the game-winning two-RBI single ... In a win over Xavier on Wednesday, Maile went 3-for-3 with a walk, homer and a double, driving in one RBI ... Maile drew a walk and launched an RBI single in a win over UIC in the first game of the series, also stealing a base ... In the second game, Maile went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI ... In UK's sweep clinching win, Maile was pulled from the lineup early for rest but went 3-for-4 with a double and two singles, stealing another base ... On the year, Maile has hit .405 (17-for-42) with four doubles, three homers and 13 RBI, stealing a team-leading six bases in seven attempts.
Baseball: A.J. Reed
Helped lead UK to five wins during the week, one as the starting pitcher and four as a middle of the order presence ... Posted a .308 average (4-for-13) during the week with a double, team-high seven RBI and three walks ... On the mound, made his first career start, tossing six innings with four hits and one run allowed, striking out two with a 1.50 ERA ... On the year, Reed has solidified himself as one of the top freshmen in the nation and one of the top two-way players in college baseball, batting .303 (10-for-33) with a homer and a team-high 17 RBI in his first 11 career collegiate games ... On the mound, Reed has one start in two games, with a 1.35 ERA and a 1-0 record ... His other pitching appearance came when he was inserted with the bases loaded and one out in the season opener at Wofford, striking out the first hitter he faced and getting out of the jam unscathed.
Men's tennis: Grant Roberts
Grant Roberts: Stepped in nicely to earn two wins at the No. 6 singles position for Kentucky and was on track to earn a third when his match was abandoned due to the team result already being clinched. Both singles wins came in straight sets, taking down Michael Nott of Arkansas 6-3, 6-3 and Jarred Wynan of Louisiana-Lafayette 6-3, 6-4. Teamed with senior Alex Musialek to win his lone two doubles matches of the week as well.

How Global Policy Becomes LocalWritten by Tom DeWeese
The following article shows how the UN targets and enlist local mayors to "voluntarily" thrust the sustainability agenda on their communities.
Many view America's education as a failure, but in at least one important way, it's been a success — a success in dumbing down the nation so that we fall easy prey to charlatans, hustlers and quacks.
Former Secretary of the Treasury Henry M. Paulson, Jr. is beating the drums for a carbon tax to fight global warming. Should we listen to him?
A Lame Duck Country?Written by Thomas Sowell
The Constitution of the United States does not give presidents the power to carry out major policy changes without the cooperation of other branches of government. But President Obama has demonstrated, time and again, that he has no respect for the Constitution's limitations on his power.

Psalm 139:7-11 teaches us that God is literally everywhere in our lives. From existing in our hearts to being found in the complexity of Creation to existing in the most simple of life's pleasures, God is truly everywhere at all times. He can even be found at the movies.
While most of Hollywood may not intend to create movies with a spiritual message, there are numerous films where God's presence can be seen and a spiritual truth can be learned. No matter what movie, God's truth is prevalent.

by Farland, David
Wizardborn is book 3 in David Farland's very popular "Runelords" epic-fantasy sequence--carrying the story forward in parallel strands of breathless action, lavishly gory battles, magical derring-do, and individual triumphs, failures, reversals or transformations.
As established in The Sum of All Men and Brotherhood of the Wolf , this fantasy world is multiply threatened. Particularly original and horrific are the monstrous, eyeless "reavers" who eat people, contaminate the land, hurl curses in the form of corrosive stenches, and are building apocalyptic magics that threaten the end of humanity in mere days. Other menaces abound, the most ambiguous being the near-invincible human villain Raj Ahten who finds himself forced to battle reavers rather than people.
Meanwhile Gaborn the "good" king, granted special abilities by the Earth itself, has been partly stripped of his power for misusing it. Major new players emerge, like the wizardborn girl Averan who has a special affinity with those appalling reavers. Soon she must guide Gaborn through the monsters' sickening, tainted Underworld for a hopeless-seeming confrontation with their most powerful mage. As wizard Binnesman cheerfully explains:
You cannot win this battle any more than you can hope to stamp out the fires of the sun or draw the air from the sky ... Our goal is not to conquer, merely to survive.
With the sky literally falling, survival won't be easy. The 424 crowded pages of Wizardborn span just two days, during which the tension grows almost unbearable. Can Farland deliver the colossal climax that his build-up deserves? Book Four is eagerly awaited. --David Langford

I'm thinking about getting a coach gun for home defense, but don't know much about them. Does anyone use one of these and can you give me the + and - of coach guns?
Which brand/brands are recommended? Thanks
I bought a Stoeger Coach Gun Supreme with the nickle finish. I immediately sent it off for a redo ($200)...Stoegers are not known for excellence, but then they are only about $400-450.
Now I have a smooth action, wild looking 12 ga 'welcoming committee' for the home front.
I didn't buy it for hunting, primarily as a greeter for home invaders.
Others here will recommend semi-auto, or pumps, and it's probably a great idea. I'm already armed...even in the house (.45's on my hip or within a quick reach).
The coach gun is for easy movement around the house or for when there is a need for an instant attitude adjustment (I should make that...instant and permanent...attitude adjustment...time to meet Jesus statement.)
If several individuals decide to kick down the door, several individuals are not going to be able to drink water without lots of leaks.
I love the feel of that little guy...kind of like that..."Say hello to my little friend!" feeling.
Stay armed...gotta' love a coach gun...stay safe!

Like retsupt sez, many of the good folks on here will advise a pump over the double, and not without reason.
But I'm with the retired Super on this one: ain't nothing like staring the twin barrels of eternity in the face to effect rapid and heartfelt change.
There is an internet legend out there on that very item. Some LEO's did some sort of a pseudo-scientific study and determined that when it came to raids, the officer who showed up at the scene carrying the SXS was usually accorded a little more respect by the BG's in terms of being listened to.
So, like the retired Super, I've got a coach gun by my bed, too. A Remington (Baikal) Spartan 220. It's a super gun, and I recommend it.
I've had some Stoegers, but being hard on equipment, I managed to hurt them. Not so with the Spartan.
There aren't any perfect ones out there, but there are some darned good ones. The Spartan and the Stoeger line come immediately to mind.
Cimmarron makes a sweet one - - but it's got hammers (so do some Stoegers and some Spartans), and if you don't want to mess with them, look elsewhere. If it weren't for the hammers, I would have gotten the Cimmarron.
Some outfit from Turkey called "Huglu" makes SXS 12's, but I don't know if they make any with 20 or 18-inch barrels. They aren't particularly well known, but they do have an avid, if small, following.
You can find used Stevenses sometimes. I found one locally, but it had barrels too long for my application (greeting committee for unwelcome visitors) and I just couldn't bring myself to take that nice piece of firearmery (is that a word?) to a smith and have it shortened. But if you can find a used Stevens, (311) - - I think they even denominated one specifically a "riot gun" ( 18" barrels), I'd jump on it like a cat on a junebug.
"...bad decisions that turn out well often make heroes."
Gary D. Mitchell, A Sniper's Journey: The Truth About the Man and the Rifle, P. 103, NAL Caliber books, 2006, 1st Ed.
I also have a Stoeger with 20" barrels, not as slicked up at Ret's, but it gets to job done, quite nicely. Shorter than my 870 or 500 by a good bit, well balanced, handles well. It took the role of HD shotty back when I was in a small college apartment, because it handled so much better in tight situations. It also has dual triggers, and both barrels can be fired simulaneously, although proper form is to use your trigger finger for one trigger at a time.
You don't have the capacity a pump gives you, but in say a tight hallway two loads of 00 should clear it pretty well, and can certainly get the job done. I'd stay away from the hammer ones, but a Stoeger or Spartan should do just fine for ya.

A shotshell carrier on the stock and some practice and you'll pretty fast with it.
I like the (hammerless) coach guns and as stated above, a double barreled shotty gets undivided attention.
It'd be a very good choice for a HD weapon I think.

(Sometimes) "a fight avioded is a fight won." ... claude clay
Stoeger makes a decent coach gun for the money. I have several and have given them hard use in cowboy action matches. Nothing wrong with using a double barrel shotgun. Allows for two sure fast shots, and that would probably solve most problems. With some practice you can reload pretty fast. I've become fairly quick with mine. I do keep a Rem. 870 for HD. It's got a hi cap mag and forend light. BUT, again, nothing wrong with a coach gun, simple to operate.

News in Brief: Big Troubles Sign to Slumberland, Cliffie Swan (Lights), Centro-Matic, Viva Voce
By Larry Fitzmaurice on June 20, 2011 at 3:45 p.m. EDT
-- New Jersey/NYC-based shoegazers Big Troubles have signed to venerable indie Slumberland. The band will release a new single, "Sad Girls" b/w "Phantom", on August 30. The single's taken from Romantic Comedy, their forthcoming full-length follow-up to last year's Worry.
-- The glitzy indie rockers once known as Lights have changed their name to the slightly more Google-friendly Cliffie Swan. They'll release their new album, Memories Come True, June 21 via Drag City. Download the track "So Long" here.
-- Folksy indie rock vets Centro-matic will self-release their tenth full-length, Candidate Waltz, June 21 (Thirty Tigers/RED will provide distribution). The band also has a summer tour planned with Sarah Jaffe; check out those dates here.
-- Portland indie rock duo Viva Voce have signed to Vanguard Records; their debut for that label, The Future Will Destroy You, comes out June 21. Grab a song from that release, "Analog Woodlands Song", here.
Molina and Johnson Cancel U.S. Tour, Citing Health Problems
By Tom Breihan on December 1, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. EST
Photo by Jonathan Cargill
Last week, we reported that Molina and Johnson, the duo of Magnolia Electric Co. leader Jason Molina and Centro-matic frontman Will Johnson, had canceled their European tour because of Molina's health problems.
Now we can report that those same health problems have also forced the duo to cancel their U.S. tour, which was set to begin January 23 in Houston. As it stands right now, Molina & Johnson have no planned tour dates. Their updated itinerary, which at this point is just a whole bunch of cities and venues crossed out, is below.
Molina and Johnson Cancel Euro Tour

Beloved indie songwriters are having a rough day! Earlier, illness forced John Darnielle to cancel a couple of Mountain Goats dates. And now it looks like "health problems" will keep Molina and Johnson, the duo of Magnolia Electric Co. leader Jason Molina and Centro-matic frontman Will Johnson, from touring Europe.
The duo's European tour was set to begin later this week in the Netherlands. But statements on the Molina and Johnson, Magnolia Electric Co., and Centro-matic websites all say the same thing: Molina's "health issues" have caused the duo to cancel their entire European tour. "Jason Molina is extremely disappointed but there is no way he can be on the road at the present time," the posts say.
The duo's U.S. tour is set to begin in January. Their updated itinerary is below.
Molina & Johnson Plan U.S. Tour
By Tom Breihan on October 29, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. EDT
Photo by Jonathan Cargill
At most shows, you're lucky if you get one beloved indie singer-songwriter. But if you hit up any of the shows on the American leg of the Molina & Johnson tour, you'll get two. (Or three if you count the opener, former Come/Codeine member Chris Brokaw.) The duo will tour Europe next month. In January, they'll make their way back to the U.S., with Brokaw in tow.
As previously reported, Magnolia Electric Co. frontman Jason Molina hooked up with Centro-matic leader Will Johnson to form the duo, and their self-titled album is coming November 3 from Secretly Canadian. Molina recently chatted with us about the collaboration.
We already reviewed album opener "Twenty Cycles to the Ground", and if you click below, you'll get another track from the album, the sad but oddly comfortable "Almost Let You In", as well as the duo's full touring itinerary.
Jason Molina Talks Molina & Johnson

Photo by Jonathan Cargill. Pictured: Molina & Johnson. Yes, that is apparently them.
As previously reported, Magnolia Electric Co. main man Jason Molina has teamed up with another member of the scratchy singer-songwriter folk-rock pantheon, Centro-matic frontman Will Johnson. The two have formed the creatively monikered duo Molina & Johnson, and their self-titled debut is due November 3 from Secretly Canadian.
Pitchfork recently spoke with Molina about the album, BB guns, and Michael Jackson.
Magnolia Electric Co.'s Molina and Centro-matic's Johnson Team Up
By Tom Breihan on October 5, 2009 at 3:25 p.m. EDT
Jason Molina is having a busy year. Back in May, we talked to the Magnolia Electric Co. frontman about Josephine, that band's new album, and he mentioned a whole litany of projects he had in the works. Now, we're just about a month away from the release of the next one, a full-length team-up with his peer in dusty confessionals, Centro-matic's Will Johnson. (Johnson himself has a whole lot going on, too; he's drumming for Monsters of Folk on tour right now.)
The new duo have taken the totally left-field name of Molina & Johnson, and their self-titled debut drops November 3 on Secretly Canadian. According to a press release, the two met when Johnson came to a 2007 Magnolia show in Austin, and they got to talking about hats and pumpkins. They recorded the album together in 2008 in Texas.
That's the cover above, and the tracklist is below, as are the duo's first tour dates. Also below: Stream and download of "Twenty Cycles to the Ground", the first track from the album.
Drive-By Truckers' Patterson Hood Preps Solo Album
By Tom Breihan on April 16, 2009 at 4:45 p.m. EDT
If the Drive-By Truckers have a frontman, it's probably Patterson Hood. But in that Southern rock institution, Hood splits songwriting duties with Mike Cooley, and people love debating the relative merits of Hood, Cooley, and gone-solo ex-member Jason Isbell. Pretty soon, though, we'll hear what happens when Hood gets a whole album to himself.
On June 23, Hood will release his solo album Murdering Oscar (and Other Love Songs) via Ruth St. Records. That's the cover above. This will be Hood's second solo album, following 2004's Killers and Stars. Hood produced the album alongside former Sugar bassist David Barbe. Members of both the Drive-By Truckers and Centro-matic play backup, and Hood's father David joins him on record for the first time. Given that David Hood is a legendary soul session player, the original bassist for the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, this is kind of a big deal.
Murdering Oscar will also be available on 180-gram vinyl, and the vinyl version will include three bonus tracks. If you buy it from iTunes, you'll get an a cappella version of "Range War" as a bonus.
In June, Hood will tour with the Screwtopians, a backing band made up of Barbe and various Truckers and Centro-matic guys. Below, we've got those dates, along with the Murdering Oscar tracklist.
