Colin Hanks on the Once-Debauched Tower Records Employees in His Doc All Things Must Pass
Tower fell, and Hanks made a movie about it.
Colin Hanks is having a busy autumn. Currently starring in the CBS sitcom Life in Pieces, Hanks is also releasing his directorial debut, All Things Must Pass, this weekend. A wildly entertaining documentary about the rise and fall of mega–music retailer Tower Records, All Things Must Pass celebrates all the passion and excess of the glory days of the record industry, though Hanks avoids making it a pure nostalgia play. He views Tower founder Russ Solomon and the motley crew running his flagship Hollywood store with affection — he gives them plenty of space to tell wild, winding stories of long days and nights fueled by alcohol and other substances — but doesn't shy away from Tower's bad business decisions and old-school sensibilities, a decision that elevates the film above the standard music doc. On the eve of the release of All Things Must Pass, Vulture spoke to Hanks about finding the story within Tower's dysfunctional family and his own passion for music.
All Things Must Pass premiered at South by Southwest this past spring. When did you first think there was a movie in the Tower Records story?
I was a big shopper at Tower. It was very important to me growing up and becoming a music fan, so when the stores were closing, I was bummed. I didn't know much about its history, and when I found out about how Russ Solomon started selling records, I said, "Wow, if it starts in that Americana drugstore and ends 40-some years later closing 192 stores around the world, that sounds like a documentary." But it wasn't until I met Russ and learned what kind of person he was that I found out about what really made Tower unique. It was the fact that it was this company that accepted all types, supported all different kinds of people and the arts while also creating this family. That's a human story that everyone can understand.
How did Russ collect these characters? It seems everybody in the film is a larger-than-life personality.
I think there's a certain kind of person — with a certain kind of way, with a certain set of skills — who could work at Tower Records. I don't just mean people who could hold their liquor or keep their shit together. Russ was adamant that he was not the one who was wholly responsible for the success of Tower Records. He was adamant that we speak with these other people that were really the ones responsible. Once we got to know some of them — especially the Mark Viduciches and Heidi Cotlers — we said, "Okay, these people know how to tell a story and have got hundreds of them. But there were also the people like Michael Solomon and Ken Sockolov — personality-wise, they're completely different, and I found that to be very helpful for me as a filmmaker because if you have just one kind of person and you've got 18 of them, there's not going to be that much story there. But it shows just how different everyone was that worked at Tower. It didn't matter what you were into, it didn't matter what your interests were. As long as you were passionate about music, you knew what to do, and were smart enough to know that if you showed up on time you'd keep your job, well, those people wound up getting to work at Tower for 20, 30, 40 years.
That helps explain the stories of crazy excess.
Well, exactly. It is funny, but it's totally true. Some of the people who worked at Tower Records got away with a lot of stuff. [Laughs.] But the important thing was, you had to show up to work. You couldn't make an excuse — you had to at least make the effort to show up. That store needed to be opened every day. Hey, listen — some people are able to have a good time and then show up to work and get through it. The people that did, well, they have much stronger constitutions than I do, and that's why they were hired and I wasn't.
Did you ever think of working at a record store?
I applied at two different Tower Records while I was in college, and both of them told me the exact same thing. They said, "Look, we can give you this application, you can spend the time filling it out, and I can put it on top of this stack of applications, but we're never going to call you because there are too many people in front of you." I said, "Okay, let me at least fill it out — I can at least tell my parents that I applied for a job today."
I liked your point about the Americana of the film. One thing that struck me is that the movie tells the story of retail from the drugstores to the internet. That's a large amount of time to cover, but it does a nice job of tracing the changes and focusing in on significant moments.
I had an amazing group of people around me. It's actually one of the lessons I learned from Russ: Hire smart people, tell them what you want to try to accomplish, and then get out of the way. Obviously, this is a new experience for me, directing a documentary, but between my producers Bridger Nielson and Glenn Zipper, writer Steven Leckart and editor Darrin Roberts — I mean, we just threw a bunch of footage at him and said, "Can you please make this happen?" It was very, very tricky to narrow this story down, and there's a lot of heartbreak. Over the course of seven years, I heard almost everybody's own personal story about Tower Records. There's always somebody that says, "Let me tell you about the time," and it just goes from there. And they're all amazing stories, but we did at some point realize we needed stories that helped push our narrative forward. Once we found out truly what that narrative was — this family coming together and achieving something really special and unique, and then having to fire each other —we decided to save all those great rock-and-roll stories to be told in person over a beer.
What do you think younger people who have never been to a record store are missing out on?
A lot of people have asked me, "Do you think the Tower heyday is better, or is it now better with the availability of music?" I always say it's neither; it's just different. That said, there is a bonus to never having to hear the words, "Oh, well, that record's out of print," because you can pretty much find anything now. So that's great! But there is something about personal connections to the music: The one you have with someone else at that store, whether it's a clerk or someone you bumped into, and the much more personal thing, which is remembering where you were when you bought the records that mattered to you. So there's something to be said for going to a shop that has four walls, a sound system, and a bunch of records. If you have time to kill, that's a pretty sweet 20 minutes.

nudity reviews for Katie Adams member submitted
Delta Delta Die! (2003)
Katie Adams does not have a large part in this film, but she's worth noting partly because her scene involves clear (although brief) full-frontal nudity and because she's the most attractive of the many actresses who disrobe here. With her perky, cone-shaped breasts, Adams reminds me of what Katie Holmes must have looked like five or six years ago. In "Delta Delta Die," Holmes peels off her clothes in order to go swimming during a nighttime, backyard drinking party.

Gold, Silver ETFs Screaming Buys: Asset Managers
For the first time in five months, both gold and silver prices broke above their 200-day moving averages, a key technical level that often flags a trend change.
The precious metals rallied to four-month highs as China reported manufacturing shrank for a 10th straight month, spurring calls for more stimulus.
Fed minutes released Wednesday suggested more quantitative easing will be needed if the economy fails to improve soon, sparking a sell-off in the U.S. dollar.
"As long as politicians continue to ignore the real implications of the uncertainty they are creating, gold and silver should continue to set new nominal highs," John Browne, a senior economic consultant to Euro Pacific Capital, wrote in a client note.
SPDR Gold Shares ( GLD ) rose 0.84% to 161.88 Thursday.IShares Silver Trust ( SLV ) jumped 2.32% to 29.59. In the futures market, gold added 1% to $1,670 an ounce. Silver increased 2.38% to $30.64 an ounce.
PowerShares DB U.S. Dollar Index Bullish ( UUP ), tracking the greenback against a basket of foreign currencies, fell 0.17% to a three-month low.
GLD returned 5.63% year to date through Wednesday while losing 13.03% in the past 12 months.
Morningstar's Commodity Index gained 10.76% and 0.38% over the same periods.
Scott Thompson of Thompson Wealth Advisors in Statesville, N.C., with $37 million under management, reopened a position in GLD this month after selling it in May.
"According to American Century Investments, gold historically rises on average 36.7% when inflation is high and rising," he said. "Almost everything we buy on a day-to-day basis is going up."
Jonathan Citrin, founder and CEO of CitrinGroup in Birmingham, Mich., with $55 million in assets under management, has put 6% of assets in his Global Growth portfolio into gold. He diversifies the portfolio across stocks, commodities and cash.
"Both gold and silver have low to negative correlations with many domestic and international equities," Citrin said. "Looking beyond what Bernanke and gang may decide at the end of the month, both play an important role in reducing volatility."
Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF ( GDX ), a basket 30 companies, lagged the market and bullion over the past year, but overtook them recently. In the past three months it added 11.66% vs. 7.89% for the MSCI World Index and 5.56% for GLD.
GDX lost 7.64% year to date and a steep 25.22% in the past 12 months. The MSCI World Index climbed 10.68% year to date and 16.54% the past year.
Unlike bullion and silver miners, it's still trading below its 200-day average, which is bearish.
SLV climbed 7.35% year to date, while losing 32.16% in the past 12 months. The ETF has jumped 16.78% off of its 52-week low of 25.34 from nearly two months ago.
Global X Silver Miners ETF ( SIL ), with 35 producers, rose 0.68% to 21.05 Thursday. Its chart follows SLV, but is far more volatile. It's down 0.97% year to date and 23.97% in the past 12 months. It outpaced the market and SLV the past three months by a wide swath, vaulting 18.40% vs. 7.89% for the benchmark and 5.78% for the metal.

Vizioncore was one of the early entrants in the business of monitoring resources for VMware back when the company was independent and the name of the product was esxCharter. Quest Software subsequently acquired Vizioncore, and since the acquisition has focused upon taking components of it Foglight infrastructure and application monitoring suite and targeted them at the VMware market through the vFoglight product which is marketed by VizionCore. Since Vizioncore has the extremely rich set of enterprise infrastructure and application monitoring assets to pull from, Vizioncore is well positioned to deliver a very capable solution focused upon monitoring availability, resource utilization and capacity for the virtualization market.
The challenge for Vizioncore has been that the baseline Foglight set of products are built for a different audience than a VMware administration team. The base Foglight products are really built for the team that supports complex multi-tier applications in production – a team that has entirely different requirements than the team that supports a virtualization environment like VMware in production. The goods news is that with vFoglight 6, Vizioncore has succeeded in delivering a user interface on top of the underlying Foglight monitoring technology that makes vFoglight into an extremely capable yet extremely easy to use enterprise class monitoring solution for VMware ESX 3.x and vSphere.
With this release, vFoglight is focused upon the following core capabilities:
- Detecting, diagnosing and resolving problems through performance monitoring
- Predicting when limits in CPU, memory, network and disk storage limits will be hit through capacity planning
- Associating costs with the use of the infrastructure through chargeback
- Connecting business SLA's to the infrastructure through service management
This focus is combined with a true enterprise scale. vFoglight 6 easily handles multiple Virtual Centers, large numbers of resource pools, and an environment that is mixed between VMware ESX 3.x and VMware vSphere (with Hyper-V support to be added early next year). Furthermore, it is possible to install the full Foglight components into a vFoglight environment if for example response time monitoring or deep diagnostics of a J2EE or .Net application is needed.
Top Level Dashboard
Once of the nicest aspects of vFoglight is how the summary status of potentially a very large environment is summarized in the high level dashboard for the product. The status of many Virtual Centers, Datacenters, Clusters, Resource Pools, Hosts, Datastores and Virtual Machines is quickly and easily ascertained with a glance at this dashboard.
Drilling down into one of the items across the top of the row (like the datastores shown below) quickly provides a summary of the top items in this group that require attention. In the case of datastores this includes stores that are running out of space, and stores that are very underutilized (any may represent a waste of money).
Drilling into a Virtual Machine summary quickly shows which VM's are the top consumers of CPU, memory, network and disk resources.
Summary Analysis
This was just a quick preview of what is a very feature rich and comprehensive product. The implications of this product for enterprises with significant VMware environments in production are:
- vFoglight 6 bundles monitoring, capacity management, chargeback and service level management into one suite. This may be an attractive option compared to choosing point products that address these needs, as all of these capabilities share one database, and leverage each other so that additions to the environment are quickly populated through all of the sections of the tool.
- vFoglight 6 supports both VMware ESX 3.x and vSphere. This may make vFoglight into an attractive alternative to VMware Capacity IQ which has just shipped and does not support vSphere yet.
- The other market leader in the resource and availability management space, Veeam, has a completely different strategy than Vizioncore. The Veeam nworks for Microsoft Operations Manager and nworks for HP Operations Manager are a set of plug-ins to these products that allow the management of the VMware environment from within those existing enterprise management products. The advantage of the Veeam approach is that for enterprises who already have these tools, a new management framework and set of consoles does not have to be learned and maintained. However the advantage of the Vizioncore approach is that a decided enterprise capable solution that is focused upon VMware (with support for Hyper-V coming) is provided in one virtualization focused solution.
- While vFoglight 6 does do a good job with CPU, memory, network and disk resources, the understanding of the storage layer is not nearly as mature and as deep as is the case with the Akorri BalancePoint solution. The focus of solutions like Akorri and Virtual Instruments upon Infrastructure Performance Management puts these solutions into a different category from products like vFoglight that focus upon the quantity of resources that are used.
- Similary, vFoglight is not an Applications Performance Management solution like BlueStripe or OPNET, nor is it a Transaction Performance Management solution like those from dynaTrace and Optier.

Connecting to Web Services With Qlikview
Over the past while I have been on a bit of a Web Services kick with Qlikview. Unfortunately for me the software's standard GET connection didn't really allow me to return much data directly into Qlikview. I was running across a couple of different issues…either the Web Service returned JSON or it required a POST command. As Qlikview does not support these types of services, I had to do some home brewing to get them to work in Qlikview. After some thought and some time, I have created a Java framework that can be customized by anyone who needs it.

|Wishful Thinking
From Dasha - 9 Dec 2007
I was reading your website and wholeheartedly agree with what you're
saying; it's disgusting and sick that human beings cause such pain and
cruelty to animals, and this is an issue that needs to be stopped
I have a question about your site, though.
You feature a section of pictures of these tortured animals; for example,
of the man dragging the sheep to be killed, the sheep being killed, its poop
on the ground next to it, etc.
What I'd like to know is where and how you obtained these pictures. Doesn't the fact that you have them mean that someone working under you, or some photographer, or someone, literally stood by and watched this happen? Who took these pictures, and if they truly and honestly cared about the animals, why did they stand by and watch this disgusting murder being committed?
I'd greatly appreciate if you could write back.
Dear Dasha:
Thank you for writing and for you encouraging comments about our web
It is very difficult to get these undercover photos and videos, and it is often dangerous and illegal, so the photographers have to be extremely careful, or their evidence would not get out to the public, and the killing would just continue after they were arrested. Raising public opinion to speak out against these atrocities is the most successful way of ending the suffering.
Frank and Mary

"On a sunny Wednesday morning in October, a day that would mark the end of one life and the beginning of another, I found out my grouchy next door neighbor was the walking dead. When you turn around expecting to see something familiar, and instead see something else altogether, it takes a little while for your brain to catch up with your eyes. I call it the 'Holy Crap Factor.'"
Forced to flee his home and family, twelve-year-old Will Ritter falls in with the Undertakers-a rag-tag army of teenage resistance fighters who've banded together to battle the Corpses.

The Aquarium of Niagara is proud to welcome Della, a 25-year-old gray seal from the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.
All of the marine mammals at the Aquarium of Niagara are rescue animals with unique tales. Della, who is blind, likewise has a compelling story.
Mark Gonka, lead keeper at the Brookfield Zoo, accompanied Della on her journey to Niagara Falls. He worked with her daily in Chicago to help acclimate to her surroundings.
"Because Della is blind, her trainers are basically her eyes," Gonka said. "She's very trusting and she knows that, with us guiding her, she'll never swim into a wall. She loves rubdowns and, as you can probably tell from her size, she also loves food.
"Della was definitely a staff favorite at Brookfield, but I know she'll fit in very nicely with the seals at the Aquarium of Niagara."
Aquarium of Niagara Assistant Supervisor of Marine Mammals Tammy Weber has been working with Della daily since she arrived in December.
"I think Della's hearing is acute, because she can't rely on her sight," Weber said. "Della needs to respond to tactile or verbal cues instead of hand gestures, and she follows verbal prompts without hesitation."
The Aquarium of Niagara is one of less than 10 facilities in North America that cares for gray seals. Della is a real inspiration for children and adults alike. Visit Della at her new home at the Aquarium of Niagara, 701 Whirlpool St., Niagara Falls.
The Aquarium of Niagara is committed to integrating conservation and awareness of its aquatic ecosystems into every visitor's life. The venue is open 9 a.m. each day.

History major Phoebe Strom '14 has been named one of 15 national recipients of the Gilder Lehrman History Scholar Award.
This competitive award recognizes outstanding graduating college seniors who have demonstrated academic and extracurricular excellence in American history or American studies, as well as a commitment to public service and community involvement. Awardees travel to New York City to participate in a program of special presentations, including meetings with eminent scholars, and experience exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of historic archives. The program culminates with a celebratory dinner hosted by the Gilder Lehrman Institute.
Strom, who has mentored local high school students, currently is completing an honors research project in history, "Defining Dixie: Creating and Deploying Country Music's Mythic South," under the guidance of Professors Robert Saxe and Charles Hughes. She also follows in the footsteps of history major Elizabeth "Lizzie" Steen '12, who was a Gilder Lehrman History Scholar in 2012.

Moody's Investors Service Inc. has renewed Canada's triple-A credit rating, citing the factors that helped the country emerge from the global financial crisis relatively unscathed, such as its "economic resiliency, very high government financial strength, and a low susceptibility to event risk.''
Even though governments across the country ran deficits to fight the recession, Ottawa and the provinces are "on a track of fiscal consolidation," the agency said in its annual report on Canada, and their debt loads will improve "over the next few years."
Since the provinces also enjoy high credit ratings, the risk they pose to Ottawa's books is deemed low even though their debt loads are "relatively large," the agency said.
The main risks to Canada's outlook are linked to the housing market and to Quebec's ongoing sovereignty issues, Moody's said, adding that the chances of either risk affecting the federal government's credit rating is low.
Given the share of residential mortgages backed by Ottawa through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., a "major downturn" in home prices could hurt the federal government's balance sheet, Moody's noted.
Nonetheless, the agency reckons that "even in an extreme scenario," any added debt wouldn't be enough to change its rating for Canada.
"As a large and diversified economy with a stable political system and strong regulatory framework, Canada has a low susceptibility to event risk," the agency's report says.
"Natural resource industries, a competitive manufacturing sector, and a well-developed and well-regulated financial market also support the country's resiliency," as does Canadians' high per-capita income, Moody's said.
Moody's attributes much of Canada's comparatively strong economic performance since the downturn to the Harper government's stimulus spending and the fact the Bank of Canada kept interest rates low, which encouraged borrowing and spending and shielded the housing market.
Even though Canada is in many ways joined at the hip with the United States - which the agency this month placed under review for a credit downgrade amid the debt-ceiling impasse in Washington - Moody's noted a number of "important differences" between the two economies.
These include the fact Canada's economy puts a greater emphasis on trade, the fact Ottawa has more fiscal flexibility thanks to a smaller debt load, and also that the banking system and housing market in Canada are stronger and less vulnerable to shocks.
"Compared to other AAA-rated sovereigns, Canada's general debt levels are near the median level, but the federal government's position by itself is relatively strong," the agency said, noting that total debt of all levels of government in Canada amounts to about 70 per cent of gross domestic product.
At the same time, Moody's noted that Ottawa's annual budget gap is little more than 2 per cent of GDP after peaking at 3.6 per cent of GDP in fiscal 2009-10, and is forecast to be closed in 2014-15.
But Moody's also flagged what is likely to be a central political issue for years to come in Canada, noting that the government's budget projections depend on a path for spending restraint that may difficult to achieve as the population ages and health care costs escalate.
"Whether expenditure restraint to this extent is sustainable is a question in the face of rising pressure on government resulting from the aging of the population," the report says. "In part, this will be a political question as to how health care costs are managed and shared between the federal government and the provinces.''Report Typo/Error

Nordhoff High School graduate Catherine Hasbrouck might have gone to South Africa to teach children. But as it turned out, Hasbrouck might have learned just as much from them as they did from her. The former Ranger track and field runner recently participated in a mission trip to tutor 12- to 13-year-old students in Pretoria, South Africa, through Campus Crusade for Christ at Harvard University, from June 20 to July 20. Twenty-two other students from colleges across the United States also went. The goal of the mission was to

As if we weren't already smitten with his "Single Ladies" and "Family Guy" theme song covers, Matthew Mitcham is back with yet another swoon-worthy music video.
Accompanied by his trusty ukulele, the Australian Olympic diver -- who has vowed to reinvent himself in time for the 2016 games in Rio Di Janeiro after his disappointing London turn -- croons a spirited mash-up of the B-52's "Roam" and Morcheeba's "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day" while touring the Italian capital.
On his YouTube page, Mitcham notes, "Add a little footage of our Roman shenanigans and 'presto!' you've got my very first iMovie!"
The clip should come as a small consolation to Mitcham's fans, who were understandably distraught by his London results as the 24-year-old openly gay diver had vowed to dive naked if he took home the gold again after his 2008 Beijing triumph.
Still, we haven't seen the last of Mitcham, who previously planned to retire after the 2012 games. "The Olympics is just the most amazing experience and I never want to miss another one again," he told the Sydney Morning Herald. "In no matter what capacity -- whether it's a diver, maybe just a springboard diver, or whether it's media or anything, I'm definitely going to be in Rio, no matter what."

Celebrate 12/12/12 with 12 Tennessee Christmas Food Traditions
NASHVILLE -- We hit an auspicious number related landmark date this week: 12/12/12, a numerological wonder not to be repeated in our lifetimes. Since nobody seems to have attached any particular significance attached to this number sequence, why not create your own way to celebrate "Triple Twelve"?
Allow us to recommend eating. Lots and lots of eating. The holiday season is packed full of the best foods traditional Southern culture has to offer, but we often deny ourselves even one day of true indulgence because the Ghost of Bathroom Scales Future keeps giving us dirty looks. It's a perfect time, just this one time, to recapture the tastes of past moments and to truly enjoy this moment we're in.
On 12/12/12, spend twelve minutes being thankful for the top twelve favorites things in your life, then give yourself twelve hours to eat twelve great Southern foods you wouldn't ordinarily allow yourself.
You could start with anything on a biscuit: country ham, sausage, honey, jams and jellies. Move on to cheese—cheddars and goat cheeses—you'll probably want wine with that. There's Southern boiled custard, candies—and if you're inclined to spend some time in the kitchen, sweet potato casserole, and cakes soaked with rum or whiskey. Heck, invite 12 friends over to join you, for that matter! Send 12 baskets with 12 festive local foods to 12 of your favorite people. The options are endless.
The Pick Tennessee Products website, www.picktnproducts.org, is the perfect place to find the local foods and ingredients for any holiday celebration, whether it's the once in a lifetime kind or the kind that rolls around every year. The site posts statewide directories of nearly 2,000 individual farmers and farm-direct businesses who list more than 8,000 Tennessee food and farm products. Savvy cell phone users can point their phone cameras at a Pick Tennessee Products "QR" code that takes them straight to the website home page.
Pick Tennessee Products is featuring 12 terrific Tennessee foods on Facebook and Twitter beginning on 12/12/12 to celebrate the 12 traditional days of Christmas, which begins on Christmas Day and lasts through Epiphany on Jan. 6.
Find Tennessee farm direct, locally grown and made foods at www.picktnproducts.org. Follow Pick Tennessee Products on Facebook at www.facebook.com/picktnproducts and Twitter at @PickTnProducts.

This is not a cut on the Band the Rolling Stones, but I am going to punk them, so read it with the love you have for the band. The band actually started in 1962 and band member Ian Stewart was already an old 25! Bill Wyman was a really old 27! They were sure not upstarts like the boy band The Beatles, these were seasoned performers. Even though their music was for a younger generation they tried to stay young as they could by keeping in the pop culture of drugs and sex, which may have worked for them, but not the majority of their listeners.
No one understood how big lips front man Mick Jagger kept the girls so enthralled, even the girls look back and say Oh My god I liked that old fart?!? Well yes it seems they did. The already old man had his pick of one night stands throughout most of his career. They had so many hits it is hard to tell which was liked the most, Angie, Jumpin Jack Flash, As tears go by, Time is on my side, Satisfaction, Play with fire, Get off my cloud, 19th Nervous breakdown, Paint it Black, Ruby Tuesday, Honky Tonk Woman, Wild Horses, You Can't Always get what you want, just to name a few. I won't go into their releases after they turned 50.
All great songs… but I wonder. That wonder made me write this article, now with most of the band in their seventies and lets applaud them for still being able to get on stage, what would a Stones concert sound/look like now?
Well they look like prunes albeit from all the drugs, and I guess they sound pretty good, even if word has it that they are playing recorded music. Come on now they are seventy, do they still jump around the stages like they did with Jumping Jack Flash, no? I wonder why. How would that look with those old guys jumping up and kicking their heels, dang when they hit the ground they would break!
Playing a song like Time is on my Side, after all these years has to take on a different meaning to them, WHAT time? you are living on borrowed time as it is!
The song Satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction, and I tried and I tried. At 70 years old you might try a lot but you never gonna get satisfaction dear band members.
Angie . . . The song by the Eagles, Hotel California strangely sounds to much like Angie. Mick Jagger dumping a beautiful girl for no apparent reason. Let me tell you something Mick, give me all your money you don't need it. Then go out and try and get a beautiful girl at your age. Give me a break, you learned nothing in all those years?
Oddly to me Jumpin Jack flash would have made no more sense to me back then than it does now but to each his own. You see, if you get a chance to see The Rolling stones in Concert you better hurry. On the good side, all of the Rolling Stones fans will have the music the rest of their lives. Congrats on following one of the greatest bands of the late 1900s!

I want to start a craft business and need to buy a tent to use over my table. I might even add tables, but it is with plants and in Florida I need to be covered if outside. Where can I purchase tents at the cheapest prices?
By Judy from Port Richey, FL
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
Before you get in way over your head in starting a craft business, if I were in your situation why not rent a table at a local flea market. You cannot be guaranteed that your craft business is going to be successful to begin with. You should at least get your feet wet before jumping in and making a huge investment to try and set up a business.
I don't want to hurt your feeling but people really are not interested in purchasing crafts, since unemployment is at an all time high. People are struggling to keep their heads above water by trying to pay their monthly mortgages, utility bills and buying food for their families.
I wish you all the luck in the world. Don't give up. I am reading my emails late, but nevertheless. Try Walmart and Kmart. They usually have ez-up tents. Most of time the prices are over 100.00. At the beginning of spring, you will see some stores put them on sale, say around April or May. I would also try Sam's Club.

6 Reasons You Should Try Humblers
Horrified by humblers? Find the idea of squeezing your scrotum a wee bit scary? Well, we're all for modesty, but when it comes to extreme gratification, a humbler is the very best tool around, and here are 6 UberKinky reasons why;
Go for something a little more ballsy...
The Bold and the Beautiful with a twist! The original may have been a soap, but trust us, you'll be feeling downright dirty when you play with a humbler. So, come on; get with the programme! All eyes will be on those bulging balls as they present themselves for whatever pleasure - stroke - punishment is deemed to come their way. Plus, that look of vulnerability and what it represents will be an incredible turn on for both of you. So, isn't it about time you were on the ball?
It is incredibly effective at keeping a guy on all fours. Good value and a worthwhile addition to any BDSM toy box. The Humbler - Peter
Discover the perfect release...
It won't take long for you to realise that a humbler makes the perfect 'squeeze'! The nerve endings that surround the penis are extremely sensitive and are, therefore, perfect for applying this type of stimulation. Wearing a humbler will cause some discomfort and a dull ache. As such, endorphins are released (the body's natural painkillers), in a bid to counteract it. The effect is similar to morphine or codeine, and the 'natural high' that occurs can often lead to an altered state of consciousness. So act fast, you don't want to miss out!
This was the greatest turn on I have known. Add in handcuffs and a crop and you have it all. Great device. Get one and have some real fun! The Humbler - Alan
Add a touch of sensation play for greater intensity...
It's high time you got a taste for supreme sensitivity! Wearing a humbler will increase the blood flow to those precious parts so that they swell with pride and become super-sensitive to the gentlest touch. Why not take advantage of this by tantalising and teasing with the prick of a pinwheel or the stroke of a feather? Not only do the incredibly intense sensations felt have you on the climactic brink within seconds, they increase the amount of endorphins and adrenaline released, for an unparalleled euphoric experience. Starting to see our point yet?
Mistress clamped me in then put me on all fours while she gave me ten of the best with her riding crop. It was great to be unable to move as each blow was delivered. Would recommend this to all slaves. Strict Leather Covered Humbler - jf420
Head towards an even healthier relationship...
The shared trust required for this encounter makes for a truly humbling experience! Wearing a humbler facilitates pushing boundaries, which can only be practiced with someone you are completely comfortable with. Not only will seeing each other in this new light increase the attraction and trust between you, it will also deepen the connection felt, strengthening your bond and your relationship. But, the enjoyment you get from playing with a humbler is not just in your head!
Great bit of kit and works well. Trying to stand up straight with it on is impossible, and there are so many things you can do while you have someone in this. Very pleased. The Humbler - id001
Get a load of remarkable resistance and intense pleasure...
Get a load of this; if you are into pleasing, rather than punishing, wearing a humbler ensures the most intense orgasm imaginable. That's because at the point of climax, the testicles instinctively move upwards towards the body. This is not possible with a humbler device fastened on. Not only does it mean that the ejaculate must travel further, resulting in a longer lasting orgasm, the resistance felt at the point of climax makes it much more intense. Perfect pulling power that always pays off!
Gives you nice sexy tug feeling. An absolute must for Ball pleasure. The Humbler - Nik
Restrain yourselves; a humbler always hits the spot...
Unsure what your position on humblers is currently? Well, don't move a muscle; we're here to help you figure it out. Humblers make supremely secure restraints, keeping the wearer down on his hands and knees, exactly where he's wanted. Any kind of movement will inflict pain and as such they will remain in the perfect position for their pleasurable or punishing reward. Ideal for any type of anal stimulation or experimenting with other types of BDSM, a humbler guarantees to hit the spot!
Huge turn on for both of us! Left my butt wide open for him. Get one, you won't be sorry, it's a whole new experience. The Humbler - Kinkyboy
Don't be fooled; this tool is not just for the extreme, so prepare to eat humble pie!

For Educators Page
Using the Primary Resources Associated with the Virginia Women in History Program
The Library of Virginia hopes that the Virginia Women in History program can be a part of your classroom curriculum. Each honoree's page features a concise biography along with images and a related primary source document. These tools can help your students sharpen their analytical skills as they learn about and interpret the lives and contributions of each honoree.
These level-appropriate primary-source analysis sheets can be used with any primary source.
ATTACK the Source (Elementary)
You are CLEVER enough to examine a historical source (Middle)
Historical Source Analysis Sheet (Middle)
Historical Source Analysis Sheet (High)
Guiding Questions
Drawing from the biographies and supporting materials of three of the honorees, develop an investigative process that summarizes their accomplishments and provides students with information that they can use in a summary discussion.
- Which three women faced the most challenges to their achievements? Why do you think their obstacles were greater? Consider factors such as an honoree's race or socio-economic class.
- How do you think these women perceive their accomplishments? Is it within the sphere of what was expected of women during the era in which they lived? Is it against the grain of women's roles? What is your evidence? Would they agree with your perception of their accomplishments?
- Do modern honorees have as many obstacles to face as historic ones? Why or why not? Use specific examples from the sources and outside historic knowledge.
- Compare the sources of information for the three women. Were they intended for a wider audience? How do we know what we know about the women? Do the sources come from the women themselves?

For my peace of mind, I earmarked 20 minutes for meditation on the terrace. With my eyes closed, I sense my hands on the chair and feel the numbness in my feet.
I feel my breath flowing through my nose, my throat, my chest and my stomach. I can hear the chirping of birds, the phut phut of auto rickshaws, the occasional roar of a truck and the insistent hooting of horns.
The wide sky and the treetops come to my attention, when I open my eyes, I see a pale moon over two hundred thousand miles away. I see the nuclear fires, blazing for millions of years in the pale globe of the setting sun. I see a single star millions of miles away in space.
I can see green shoots coming up on a tree, watch the dives and swoops of birds, the great circles of the hawks and flocks of birds flying home for the night.
Diffused light from the sun reflects off a parrot on the tree and enters my eye through a pinhole opening. I sense the bustling mood of the bird, even though it is smaller than a drop of water in my eyes.
All these things are seen and felt by me in a few brief minutes. In the distance, is the head of a man seeming to be no bigger than a pea. Yet, that head too sees and feels such things. Ten million people in this great city see and feel in ten million ways.
My mind wanders to a misty view of postwar London; an exciting glimpse of Disneyland. An awed view of Tiananmen Square. The looming Himalayan ranges. My mind takes me to distant galaxies.
It carries me into the heart of millions of invisible neurons, where electrical charges flash thousands of times a second powering my contemplation. I see the campaigns of Julius Caesar and Alexander. I feel the longings of Jehangir.
Already my mind has taken me to palaces, battlefields and even the stars. If I lost everything, but can just see and feel, in just a few brief minutes, my mind can travel the world, or imagine the cosmos.
While my thoughts wandered far and near, the thought "20 minutes is a long time" also kept floating in. And yet, life has already blessed me with over twenty million waking minutes! I have an infinity of time on my hands. Have I a right to expect more from life?
I really loved the self improvement plan post. Its great food for thought and the steps are actually actionable as compared to many other self help sites out there.

Actress Claire Coffee has married her musician fiance Chris Thile.
The Grimm star tied the knot with the Punch Brothers frontman in front of 20 people at Blackberry Farm in Tennessee on Monday (23Dec13).
She tells Us Weekly magazine, "It's our favorite place to vacation and one of the best places on earth. (It's) a gorgeous and rustic resort.
"We wanted something intimate and earthy, with kick-a** food and wine, and it doesn't get much better than Blackberry where those things are concerned."
Coffee's sister, Abbie, officiated the ceremony and Bon Iver guitarist and violinist Rob Moose performed a Bach composition as the bride walked down the aisle.
This is the first marriage for both stars, who began dating after meeting through a mutual friend in 2011.
Blackberry Farm has proved a popular choice for celebrity weddings - Kelly Clarkson and Pistol Annies singer Ashley Monroe both chose the same venue for their nuptials in October (13).

I understand how electrosis can seperate chlorine from the sodium in salt, but what I do not understand is why doesn't the chlorine recombine with the sodium immediately after leaving the cell?
I understand how electrosis can seperate chlorine from the sodium in salt, but what I do not understand is why doesn't the chlorine recombine with the sodium immediately after leaving the cell?

Electrolysis does not separate the sodium from the chloride in salt. When salt (which is solid sodium chloride) dissolves in water, it dissociates into sodium ions and chloride ions. The sodium has nothing to do with the electrolysis or chlorine production in spite of what some websites say. You could use potassium chloride or calcium chloride salt and have the same effect (in fact, when you add calcium chloride to a pool to initially raise the Calcium Hardness level, the chloride from this is some of the chloride that is used by the SWG to make chlorine -- it doesn't all come from the added sodium chloride).
This post describes in more detail what goes on in a saltwater chlorine generator (and with manual dosing of chlorine). Essentially, at the anode (positive plate) the two chloride ions are converted to a single chlorine gas molecule. Chlorine gas dissolves readily in water producing hypochlorous acid, which is the disinfecting form of chlorine, and hydrochloric acid. At the cathode (negative plate), two hydrogen ions are converted to a single hydrogen gas molecule. The hydrogen gas bubbles out of the returns and aerates the water and is the main cause of pH rise in SWG pools. The acidity from the anode's hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid and the alkalinity from the cathode's removal of hydrogen ions net out to what was shown in the link where the SWG production of chlorine is identical to adding hypochlorite to the pool (plus hydrogen gas).
When the hypochlorous acid gets used up by oxidizing an organic or ammonia or killing a pathogen (bacteria, virus, algae), it gets converted back to chloride ion. The oxidation produces carbon dioxide and/or nitrogen gasses (and water) depending on what the chlorine oxidizes. This oxidation process produces hydrochloric acid and is acidic and exactly compensates for the alkalinity of hypochlorite sources of chlorine (bleach, chlorinating liquid, Cal-Hypo, Lithium hypochlorite) so the addition of hypochlorite or the production of chlorine in an SWG plus the later usage of that chlorine is a pH neutral process.
One way of looking at this is that the electrolysis raises the potential energy of chloride to a more powerful form in hypochlorous acid. This higher potential energy is then used as a disinfectant and oxidizer and when this energy gets used up, the hypochlorous acid reverts back down to become chloride ion again.

Ok then why doesn't the chlorine gas or later the hydrocloric acid combine with the sodium ions. Does the sodium ions form sodium hydroxide? What I am getting at is the chlorine is there, the sodium is there, what keeps them from recombining or re-forming immediately after the cell?
7,500 gal, IG pool, L shape 22' x 15', 1.5 hp pump, cartridge filter, AquaPlus SWG/Controller, Pebble-Tec liner.
In layman's terms, because of the engery added by the electricity. The sodium ions just stay in the water. Depening of the pH of the water there may or may not be an excess of hydroxide ions in the water (this depends on the amount of outgassing of carbon dioxdie and the level of carbonic acid in the the water. You have to realize that when an ionic solid like sodium chloride is dissoved in water it dissociates into it's ions and stays that way until the water is evaporated. The ions can then act somehwat independantly, depening on what else is going on--such as what other ionic species are present or whether there is any enery being applied in the form of light, heat or electricity.
I am trying to keep this as simple as possible but it is really a complex topic.
waterbear answered this well. I'm going to try and answer it from a slightly different angle.
The basic question that is being asked is "if something is separated, then why doesn't it combine later?" The answer is that chemistry (and physics) doesn't work that way. Chemical and physical systems move towards their lowest energy state. They don't always do so quickly -- otherwise our bodies would simply decompose (i.e. "burn") into carbon dioxide, water and possibly soot -- but the direction is towards lower energy. Salt that is solid when not in water is in a lower energy state than salt in a liquid or gaseous form (at room temperature) so is why you see it as solid salt when not in water. When salt is exposed to water, the sodium and chloride in the salt that are attracted to each other when there is no water present become separated when in water because the sodium and chloride are separately more attracted to water than they are to each other (in some sense) and are in a lower energy state when separate as charged ions. This occurs because water is polar so has a positive charge on one side of the molecule and a negative charge on the other so the net result is that the water and the sodium and chloride all bounce around in a way that is at the lowest energy.
Sodium in water, as sodium ions (that is, charged atoms interacting with the polar water molecules), is at a very low energy state so it will pretty much not react with or combine with anything. It is very hard to precipitate anything with sodium in water without actually removing the water itself (i.e. without evaporating the water). So the hypochlorous acid that is in the water and the hypochlorite ions that are in the water do not react with nor combine with the sodium. When you add bleach or chlorinating liquid, this contains sodium hypochlorite and in water the sodium ion and the hypochlorite ion remain separated, just like sodium and chloride from salt dissolved in water. The principle is very similar -- pretty much anything initially combined with sodium (and potassium, to a slightly lesser extent) remain separated when in water.
Even with extra hydroxide in water, sodium hydroxide is still separate sodium ions and hydroxide ions whenever water is present. The salt cell does produce an excess of hydroxide ions, but they just remain as separate hydroxide ions and don't combine with the sodium. Also, when the chlorine (hypochlorous acid) gets used up either from breakdown from sunlight of from oxidation of organics, this produces an excess of hydrogen ions and these combine with the hydroxyl ions to form water so the net result of chlorine addition from a hypochlorite source of chlorine (such as bleach or chlorinating liquid or Cal-Hypo) or from creation in an SWG cell PLUS the later breakdown of chlorine is a net result that is pH neutral -- no excess of hydroxyl ions or hydrogen ions. (Technically, there is a small amount of extra hydroxyl ion in the hypochlorite sources of chlorine, but it is negligible except after months of usage).
Hope that helps in understanding.

I recently provisioned AD RMS on WS 2003 R2 and I made a few notes as I ran into issues. Perhaps these will give you a nudge in the right direction if you are troubleshooting:
First, you must download Windows RMS 1.0 SP2 and install it. The installation won't complete unless you first install IIS, MSMQ, and ASP.NET 1.1 (Add/Remove Windows Components). I found Setting Up a Basic Infrastructure to be helpful.
To provision RMS, you fill out the form on provisioncertification.aspx.
A few issues I ran into:
It couldn't find the SQL Server computer. I had to turn off Windows Firewall on the AD RMS server and the database server.
Login failed. I added my service account to the logins on SQL Server.
CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'. My service account didn't have correct permissions on the database server.

"Pause Press Play" — Inspiring & Free-To-Download Film On Being An Artist In The Digital Age
A new documentary film called Pause Press Play has been out a little while on the Internet and I wanted to post it here and spread the word a bit more.
Pause Press Play is a documentary about creativity and how the Digital Revolution and computer technology has completely changed the playing field. When I was trying to get my first job as a TV news cameraman back in the early 1980's it was a different world. This was in the days preceding the advent of the camcorder, when a TV camera cost $10,000-$30,000, and you needed a video recording deck that what the camera was attached to and those ran another $10,000-20,000. Then to edit video tape you needed a video deck to playback the video and and another deck to record onto, each of which could run $20,000-$30,000, and an editing console to control the decks, which ran close to $1,000. And a pair of broadcast monitors to watch what's on the playback and record decks, each costing $500-$800. And these were in 1980's dollars. Nowadays you can get a DSLR camera for $800, capable of shooting 1080 HD footage, and edit on a laptop starting at $500 and edit on high-end editing software, which can be downloaded as a demo and you can edit your project for free.
Pause Press Play celebrates the creative spirit and how it has liberated people from having to have lots of money to make films or music or publishing, and allows anyone with a computer to be able to make their creative dreams into realities. It includes interviews with artists like Moby and filmmaker Lena Dunham and many more and is, in short, a beautiful and stunningly made film. The one caveat to the Digital Revolution where everyone can be an artist is how to make a living at it in order to continue creating–but this film does not dodge from that and explores the thorny issues as well.
The filmmakers have posted this feature-length one-hour and 21-minute documentary to the internet and invite people to watch it and download it free.
I've found this deeply inspirational and will have more to say on the matter in a couple days.
This is the description on Vimeo:
"The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent in an unprecedented way, with unlimited opportunities.
"But does democratized culture mean better art or is true talent instead drowned out? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world's most influential creators of the digital era.

Crowdsourcing has been touted by some as a revolution.
Popularized by Web 2.0 and the concept of "the wisdom of crowds," the idea that businesses and organizations can leverage a "crowd" (often for free or at minimal cost) to perform all sorts of tasks that would have otherwise been done by employees or contractors is one that is naturally appealing.
From upstarts like Threadless - an online clothing retailer that lets consumers design t-shirts and then produces the ones the "community" likes most - to major corporations like Colgate-Palmolive, which has used crowdsourcing to solve tricky problems its R&D staff couldn't, there is no doubt that real value can be derived from crowdsourcing.
But like almost everything, crowdsourcing has its limits.
For instance, I recently noted that when "going global," crowdsourcing your localization efforts often results in less-than-satisfactory translations and advised that a qualified entity with experience and expertise be hired to perform this task.
Perhaps one of the more cogent examples of the fact that crowdsourcing isn't always a good option for businesses and organizations came recently when the DataPortability Project decided to crowdsource the creation of a new logo.
Previously, the project had to scrap its logo when Red Hat sent a cease and desist notice claiming that it was confusingly similar to its own.
To design a new one, the DataPortability Project enlisted the help of the community. It called for logo submissions from the public and decided that the next logo would be chosen by the community in a contest format.
A new logo was recently selected as part of this contest.
Not weeks later, the DataPortability Project found itself on the receiving end of another legal notice, this time from Vivendi Mobile Entertainment's trademark counsel.
And sure enough, the logo trademarked by Vivendi Mobile Entertainment looked eerily similar to the new DataPortability logo.
Chris Saad, the man behind the DataPortability Project, apparently plans to "tweak [the logo] slightly and move on." Assuming, of course, that his "tweak" satisfies Vivendi Mobile Entertainment enough to let him move on.
Given that the process of choosing a new logo took about two months, the DataPortability Project's crowdsourcing experience highlights the fact that sometimes the crowdsourcing process is inefficient and less-effective than completing a task in-house or outsourcing it to a contractor.
In the case of the DataPortability Project, which I have criticized for presenting itself as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization when it isn't, the crowdsourcing mishap has resulted in a legal problem, however small, that distracts it from more important matters (like becoming a legal entity).
For a relatively small amount of money, the DataPortability Project could have hired an experienced designer to create a logo that effectively conveys the message of the DataPortability "brand."
This would have taken far less time and it also would have mitigated the legal risks from trademark issues, as a good work-for-hire agreement would have included intellectual property representations from the designer as well as indemnification clauses.
In other words, the DataPortability Project really had no compelling business rationale to crowdsource the creation of its logo; its logo contest was little more than a feel-good marketing ploy.
Companies and organizations considering the use of crowdsourcing should ask themselves the following:
- Does crowdsourcing provide a tangible time/money advantage? That is, can crowdsourcing provide a viable solution more quickly and/or cost-effectively than we can achieve in-house or through outsourcing?
- Are there any risks to crowdsourcing? What are the possible implications and consequences if a solution derived from crowdsourcing is later discovered to be defective or is found to violate the intellectual property rights of another party?
- Can we realistically achieve a better solution from crowdsourcing? For instance, are we crowdsourcing a solution to a problem that we know we have been unable to solve on our own or can we leverage the expertise we have internally or through a contractor to get a satisfactory solution?
At the end of the day, I think crowdsourcing can be a valuable business tool when used properly but crowdsourcing for crowdsourcing's sake is a poor business decision and smart businesses and organizations will keep that in mind.
Hopefully for the DataPortability Project, the third time is the charm and not a strikeout.
