This store keeps the light on for the legends. – In Short
Nothing about this legendary store is shiny or state-of-the-art--it's strictly "old country." The staff knows its stuff, too. If you remember a song from decades past, someone here will probably know it, too. The store stays open late on Saturday evenings for the Midnight Jamboree, a live radio show broadcast from the Texas Troubadour Theatre, a 500-seat performance space attached to the Record Shop and across from Opryland.
Ernest Tubb Record Shop OPRYLAND is where you CAN FIND OLD COUNTRY music. COUNTRY BOX SETs. – Ernest Tubb Record Shop is where you CAN FIND OLD COUNTRY music.
COUNTRY BOX SETs from Bear. Those are the 100-300 song box set that cost $120-300 from Germany. These box set are the best value if you are a true fan of country music.
The DOWNTOWN Tubbs is where it all began with live shows at midnight and it looks like you are back in the 1940s with the pictures on the wall. This store is not the original but does have a tour bus and some rare country items to look at.
CDs are priced a little high, watch out for those low budget CDs. of your favorite artist singing no songs you know. RECORD / ALBUMS can be found of great country aritst.

Hi, I've been working on a design document for an tactical RPG game for a couple of weeks now, and I got to a point where I must define if my game is gonna be either 2d or 3d.
The game is going to have an isometric view with very small models for the characters (so lots of details or large poly count are not necessary) and my question is this one: what kind of graphics would be faster (not necessarily easier) to develop for a solo programmer (though I might add a couple of friends to the project later on), assuming I'll use an 3rd party engine?
I think 3d would be better because the game will have lots of different characters, and animating them in 2d would be a PITA, but making the world (which will be pretty big) would probably be easier in 2d, due to the time it takes to model and texture the landscape and buildings.
So, what do you think?

About Woadan
Clearly many of you do not even know how the device operates.
If you are taking a picture or capturing video, it will be obvious either through hand gestures (taps and swipes to the right side of the device) or voice commands. You could have it set up to take a picture by way of an exaggerated wink, bu you still need a tap to get it started.
I have found that it's easier for me to tilt my head back and say "OK, Glass, get me directions to [insert address]" and let it give e tur-by-turn directions via the device and not my phone. (With earbuds in my ear, I don't have to worry about noise from the road, vehicle or music interfering.) The map only shows up just before an intersection or turn, so it isn't overtly intrusive.
While I am driving, with just a tap, I can have it read a message or news story to me. Admittedly, the stunted voice of the computer is a bit jarring. But my ears are on the story, and my eyes on the road and traffic.
Maybe the problem with Glass is that people just don't know enough about how it works. If true, then perhaps the good folks at Google should spend more time educating us about what it is, and is not, than admonishing Geeks to not be Geeks.
"In a letter signed by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and music attorney Dina LaPolt (and echoed by like minded artists like Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Sting..."
This is theater of the absurd. None of these artists have had any release of note in this millennium.
I would like to invite them all, in the immortal words of Barnabus Collins, to repeatedly press their lips upon my posterior.
In the lawsuit, it is mentioned that "In addition, Prince has suffered and is continuing to suffer damages in an amount according to proof, but no less than $1 million per Deffendant..."
However, it fails to mention that he had suffered and is continuing to suffer damages to his reputation at his own stupid hand.
Haven't we been told in the past by judges, lawyers, and the police that ignorance of the law is no excuse?
I think the reporter got it wrong when he said Hayden was talking about Snowden as "likely to become an alcoholic who was 'isolated, bored, lonely and depressed'". Hayden probably said that because of Snowden, Hayden is likely to become an alcoholic who was isolated, bored, lonely and depressed.
It's all in the semantics!
Mike, I respect both you and Paul Krugman very highly. In your own ways, you both speak to power as it often needs to be spoken to. But in this case, I think you expect an economist like Mr. Krugman to have an axe to grind where you wouldn't expect an economist to have one.
Paul Krugman over at the NYT has this to say:
"The big talk about TPP isn't that silly. But my starting point for things like this is that most conventional barriers to trade — tariffs, import quotas, and so on — are already quite low, so that it's hard to get big effects out of lowering them still further."
In other words, from the economic side, it's hard to show any big gains.
Which means that TPP is really only being negotiated so the IP industries can get their way without the messy business of having to buy off politicians in every country.
Here's the problem Senator Feinstein: I am more concerned about the US government spying on me and my fellow citizens than I am about possible terrorist attacks on US soil.
It's expensive for one company alone. Why don't they band together and counter-sue as one unit?
OK, this school district must now provide all writing implements to all students so that only the approved ones get used. For whatever they get used for.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!
There also 12 non-votes. Even had they voted in support of Amash, it would have been a tie.
Google allows you to put in second factor authentication on accounts. The feds can have all the passwords they want, but they need the Google authenticator set up and approved. Too bad MS doesn't as well.
What this means is that the Congress and the PTO need to standardize the language that must be used in patent applications. No more "made up" terms to try to confuse or obfuscate.
SSo, essentially, SMACNA got a shakedown.
TechDirt had already told us about this:
As Jane Mayer at the New Yorker recently explained, the metadata issue is the one we should be most frightened about:
"The public doesn't understand," [mathematician and
former Sun Microsystems engineer Susan Landau] told me,
speaking about so-called metadata. "It's much more
intrusive than content." She explained that the
government can learn immense amounts of proprietary
information by studying "who you call, and who they
call. If you can track that, you know exactly what is
happening—you don't need the content."

I was giong to say that all I really get is junk mail any more. Only the water bill and my HOA bill come via the Post Office. Everything else is via email.

If I am not allowed to know of the existence of the program, and if I am not allowed to know that the government has its own secret interpretation of the laws, then how have my civil liberties been guaranteed?

Temptation, she is a cruel, persistent mistress.
Now 25 days into my promise to ban all sweets through (the week before) Lent, I am pleased to report that, for the first Lenten Season in my life, I am still 100% dessert-free. However, I feel I should point out that the sacrifice has taken its toll, as I am now but a brittle, broken shell of my former self, and besides all that, I'm quite grumpy.
You think I'm melodramatic, but consider the lengths I've gone to just to keep my behavior in check. In the last (nearly) four weeks, I've eaten mass quantities of some very strange things just to distract myself from any and all dessert-ish deliciousness:
- Tic Tacs (orange-flavored)
- Mentholated cough drops (cherry-flavored)
- Fistful after fistful of Life cereal (cinnamon-flavored)
- Salad and salad and salad (balsamic-vinaigrette flavored)
- Wheat crackers…so many wheat crackers (salt- and bread-flavored)
Please note that I've only resorted to these desperate measures in times of extreme stress. Otherwise, mostly I'm fine. Mostly, I'm doin' ok, even as the freezer remains fully loaded with ice cream, and GB tells long and lovely tales of the Girl Scout Cookies he's keeping at work, and the boys eat chocolate pudding after the dinners they barely touch, and I fall to pieces in the pantry.
Here's the thing, though, about not cracking under pressure: I can't explain this—maybe you can—but I've found a sick, sordid and darkly satisfying new past time: placing myself in the enemy's way.
Here's what I mean:
- Day 3: I made batch after batch of iced sugar cookies for the boys' in-class birthday parties. I creamed the dairy-free butter and sugar. I whipped tall peaks of French vanilla frosting. I spread soft, rippled waves of said icing across the tops of said freshly baked cookies. And when I was finished, I dropped icing-coated whisks untouched into a full sink of water.
- Day 8: I handed 36 dairy/egg-free cupcakes to a room full of already over-sugared little boys who sang "Happy Birthday" to my fellows as they blew out the candles at their out-of-school birthday party. We had relatives at home, so of course there were bowls full of plain and peanut M&Ms that lingered for days…because I was not eating them.
- Day 16: I walked into a candy shop with this in the window:
Inside there were trays and trays of truffles and caramel clusters and chocolate-dipped pretzels and the like. I'm not sure how long I stared at the peanut butter fudge in the display case, but let's just say it was a long, long time.
- Day 20: I handed a sample of chocolate caramel cake to O just to watch how much he enjoyed eating it. And he did enjoy it. A lot. I wish I'd thought to take a photo, because that sort of happiness needs to be captured and shared.
- Day 24: I began to daydream about the enormous Graeter's ice cream cake (it's ice cream! It's cake!) I'm going to request the day I turn 37—just 27 days from today—and this whole dessert-free nightmare is finally over.
There's only one way I can think of to end this update: Twenty-four days in, I also rediscovered Kettle Corn.
I finally know how I'm going to make it through the rest of the season.

President Barack Obama on Thursday promised residents of New York and New Jersey hit by superstorm Sandy that they will get a coordinated federal, state and local effort to rebuild their devastated neighborhoods.
After touring damaged areas of the New York City boroughs of Queens and Staten Island, Obama announced he's appointing Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan to lead reconstruction once the immediate relief needs are met.
"We are going to be here until the rebuilding is complete," Obama said after meeting with residents and relief workers on Staten Island, repeating a vow he made to residents of New Jersey in the days after the storm made landfall.
The storm hit Oct. 29, just before the presidential election and the federal response, spearheaded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was shadowed by past disasters, particularly that which followed Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
A sign in the bayside township of Broad Channel, Queens, last week read, "FEMA PLEASE HELP US."
The sign is similar to the pleas Katrina survivors spray- painted on plywood seven years ago during what lawmakers criticized as a slow and botched response by FEMA. Eager to avoid such comparisons, the administration has dispatched thousands of FEMA workers to canvass still-dark apartments and tell survivors about the help available to them while the agency coordinates a federal aid effort.
"No excuse is going to satisfy the person who doesn't have power or a place to stay," said Mike Byrne, who's leading FEMA's effort in New York. "We just have to get beyond the obstacles and get to the solution whatever it takes."
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who joined Obama aboard Marine One for a helicopter tour over damaged areas, said earlier this week that FEMA's financial assistance "does not come close to making up" for the economic damage.
He's seeking about $30 billion in federal assistance to help the state recover. White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters traveling with the president that the administration hadn't yet seen the specific request.
Along with Cuomo, Obama was joined on the tour by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Donovan. The mayor is founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP.
Obama stopped FEMA disaster recovery center set up in the parking of New Dorp High School on Staten Island. Volunteers from around the country were helping distribute boxes of toiletries, food, blankets and cleaning supplies to about 100 local residents.
"We got the whole country represented here," Obama said. "We're proud of you guys."
The president also toured a street where many of the homes were damaged or destroyed.
"We've got some work to do and I want you to know I'm here to do it," Obama said to a crowd outside a boarded-up church.
As Obama spoke on Staten Island, cameras were trained on microphones in New Orleans where Attorney General Eric Holder was readying to formally announce that BP Plc had agreed to pay the largest criminal fine in the country's history for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It was a split-screen reminder of the lessons Obama has learned in responding to disasters and harnessing the full power of the federal government to react.
While FEMA's response to the storm generally has won praise, there have been snags. Although the agency has helped organize gasoline and diesel deliveries, fuel shortages persist.
The agency is beginning to grapple with some of the biggest problems left in the storm's wake, such as permanent housing for displaced people and debris removal.
The criticism of FEMA lacks the vitriol aimed at the agency as New Orleans residents in Katrina's aftermath endured looting, rapes, days on sun-beaten rooftops and dead bodies festering in the streets. Since then, the agency has overcome congressional calls for its dissolution and reinvented itself.
"FEMA's a very different organization than it was," Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a Connecticut independent who heads the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said in an email. For Sandy, "it was proactive, and it didn't used to be."
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a prominent Republican ally of Obama's election opponent, Mitt Romney, has lauded FEMA's attention to the state's needs and the president's response.
The destruction of Sandy, a 900-mile-wide storm, was concentrated along the New Jersey coast and the five boroughs of New York. The death toll is more than 100.
Estimated insured losses are about $20 billion, according to Charles Watson, director of research for Kinetic Analysis Corp., a risk-assessment company based in Silver Spring, Md.
While the scale of Sandy's destructiveness is far less than Katrina, which killed 1,833 people and was spread over 90,000 square miles, the storm has tested FEMA's capabilities, emergency managers said.
The experience of FEMA's leadership, including Administrator Craig Fugate, the one-time head of Florida's emergency-response agency, has contributed to that success, said Ellis M. Stanley Sr., former general manager for the Los Angeles Emergency Preparedness Department.
"The primary difference" with FEMA after Katrina "is leadership," he said in an e-mail. "Not only are storm victims getting assistance quicker, the survivors are better engaged."

Rule base management is certainly a problem area for many firewall administrators. It's easy for firewall rule bases to become riddled with incorrect, overlapping and unused rules, even in the presence of a change management system. There has been a bit of academic research into this topic during the past few years, and researchers have identified a number of anomalies worthy of an administrator's attention:
- a potential security hole and adding to a firewall administrator's burden.
- Unused rules are similar to orphaned rules, except these rules were never used in the first place. Unused rules could be the result of change requests from projects that never materialized, or they could occur because of administrator error when creating a rule.
There are a couple of commercial tools that attempt to tackle these problems, such as Secure Passage LLC's FireMon and Algorithimic Security (AlgoSec) Inc's Firewall Analyzer. The true solution, however, is to keep your rule base simple, limit it to a manageable size and conduct regular audits.

Nov. 22, 2011
The Department of Labor & Industries will hold two hearings to take public comments on a draft rule requiring employers to correct serious safety hazards when they receive L&I citations, even if they appeal the citation, unless a stay is granted.
In Washington, if a business is cited by L&I for a violation of workplace safety law, the business has 15 days to appeal that citation. Under existing rules, if the employer appeals the citation, there is no obligation to correct the serious hazards they are cited for until the appeal is resolved, which can take months or even years.
In the 2011 Legislative session, ESSB 5068 was passed directing L&I to enact a rule requiring employers to correct safety hazards associated with serious violations even if they appeal, unless a stay is granted by L&I or the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals.
A proposed rule has been drafted to implement this legislative change and provides for stay of abatement requests.
Public hearings on the draft rule are:
- Nov. 30, 1 p.m., at the DoubleTree Hotel City Center, 322 N. Spokane Falls Court, Spokane.
- Dec. 2, 9 a.m., in room S117 of L&I's Tumwater building, 7273 Linderson Way, SW, Tumwater.
Written comments will be accepted until 5 p.m., Dec. 7. Send comments to Devin Proctor at:
Email: email@example.com
Fax: 360-902-5619
Mail: Department of Labor & Industries, P.O. Box 44620, Olympia, WA 98504
Hand delivery: L&I, 7273 Linderson Way SW, Tumwater, WA
For media information: Hector Castro, L&I, 360-902-6043.
Broadcast version:The Department of Labor & Industries is gathering comments on a draft rule that will require businesses in Washington state to correct workplace safety hazards for which they are cited, even if they appeal the citation. The new rule is a requirement of a bill passed in the 2011 Legislative Session. Public hearings will be held Nov. 30 at the DoubleTree Hotel City Center in Spokane and Dec. 2 at L&I's Tumwater building. For information, visit www dot lni dot wa dot gov.

The Cougars shot a 322 Monday on their home course to win their third HDL tournament of the season. McQueen shot a 340. A win next week would secure a league title for Spanish Springs, which would have clinched the league title Monday if not for the disqualification of two players at a tournament earlier in the season, resulting in a second-place finish.
"I think they know in order to obtain the first step in our goals, to win a league title, they had to win today," coach Mike Bosco said. "(They were) excited to play here because they are familiar with the course. But I think they took care of business."
Katrina Prendergast shot an 81 and for the first time this season did not bring home medalist honors.
"Katrina had a not-so-great day and still shot an 81, which is pretty gosh darn good," Bosco said.
The medalist honors instead went to a Cougars teammate, Sam Sorensen, who shot a 77. She was the lone golfer to break 80. Trae Jones was the closest to breaking the barrier with an 80 and Jada McCallister shot an 84 to round out the Cougars' scores.
The HDL tournament circuit heads to Washoe Golf Course next Wednesday where Spanish Springs will have its first swing at claiming the league crown. And Bosco feels good about his teams chances.
"There are going to be some low numbers I think at Washoe," Bosco said. "That course is wide open. I mean girls can hit it right, left, so I think there is going to be some low numbers. I am hoping for a good day."
•One week removed from a tournament at WildCreek that had Reed coach Danielle Fleiner and her girls fired up, the fire went out.
The Raiders finished fourth in the four-team tournament with a score of 437. Behind Spanish Springs and McQueen, Reno took third with a 397.
Reed topped Reno last week, shooting a 415 while Reno finished with a 426.
In the past, the tournament at Red Hawk was played on the Lakes half of the course. It was played on the Hills half this year.
"They came in thinking that it was just going to be a little variation to it and it's a big difference," Fleiner said. "The layout of the course is a little bit long and I think they can get themselves in a little bit of trouble.
"Last week they had these lower scores, where they should be, but today they came and they expected that and didn't just go with it shot by shot. So they started getting in their heads."
Angela Vranken was the lone Raider to finish in double digits with a 99. Leighton Lee (105), Holli Smith (111) and Stephanie Haigney (122) were the other top scorers for the Raiders.

I was raised by a "happy 1950s housewife" without a feminist bone in her body. As a child of the 1980s I somehow got confused along the way when it came to my feelings about powerful women. I liked the idea of women having as much power as they want. What I didn't like was the whole "girl power" narration that seemed to be required to attain that power. Couldn't we girls just achieve what we wanted in life without the streamers and paper hats? It was then that I decided – I might be a woman, but that doesn't mean I have to like the other ones.
So in college and into my 20s, I became a "guy's gal." My closest friends were men, I became an EMT where "women's uniform" was an oxymoron and I secretly mocked the cult of sorority among women. Even as a nurse, I preferred hanging out with the doctors because I found little in common with the ladies in white.
My personal views also extended into politics. I liked the hypothetical theory of a woman president but for some reason whenever the option presented itself I quickly found things to hate about the female candidate. From my seat on the sidelines, Hillary Clinton was too fake and Sarah Palin a dimwit. Now, there is a new field of Tea Party ladies, including Michele Bachmann and Nevada's own Tea Party "favorite" Sharron Angle, being discussed as presidential possibilities. My initial idea for this column, in fact, was a full-on, nails-out, junior high locker room girl-on-girl assault on Ms. Angle. I even had a great line prepared about her recent random travel excursions to Iowa, South Carolina and New Hampshire — "Who's paying for these delusions of grandeur?"
But as I gathered my ammunition, extended my claws, cracked my knuckles and prepared to attack, it suddenly occurred to me that I'm on the brink of declaring war on myself as a woman.
Yes, there are valid political points to be made about all of the candidates I listed above. I could pen perfectly valid, factual editorial columns about each individual. That's beside my point.
I have been a fairly successful woman in business for many years now. However, true to my college days, I've always tried to walk the entrepreneurial walk of the big boys, especially in networking situations. I'm not entirely sure this "strategy" was intentional. And like in my nursing days, I typically gravitated toward my brothers in business rather than my sisters. Recent events have made me reconsider.
When some respected fellow female entrepreneurs invited me to my first eWomenNetwork event ("a community of women helping women"), I was immediately skeptical. I flashed back to my college girlfriends and their hysteria about sorority rush. But I showed up and it wasn't so bad. So, last week, I went to another eWomen event: a big networking dinner. Before I even had a chance to complete a decent eye roll I realized I was enjoying it — a lot. I looked around and finally understood the difference between the way men do business and way women do it, and felt more connected to the latter. As if that weren't enough, one of the token business men attending the event (yes, they're allowed; business networking is an equal opportunity democracy) explained to me how valuable these events were to him in understanding how women do business and gaining insight into the female consumer. We might be a mysterious breed, but since we tend to buy a lot of stuff, men consider it worth the effort to try and crack the girl code.
I'm still a lot closer to my inner June Cleaver than Gloria Steinhem, but I feel like I've made some progress away from the unisex EMT uniform. I will always love doing business with men and women alike. It just feels like I'm approaching it from a different angle now.
Speaking of angles, by the way, this doesn't mean I think Sharron Angle should be president of the United States. Not because she's a woman though. The last thing America needs is another delusion of grandeur in the oval office.

High quality tennis by Maria in the semis against the other Russian Maria Kirilenko. In the first set, on 22 Maria wins four games in row and takes the set 62. Slightly more difficult the second set when there is a break by Kirilenko 32, but Maria quickly recovers, breaks back Kirilenko and takes again four games in a row to close the set 63 and the match. Maria convinced as for lovely shots and great determination. No chance for Kirilenko against today's Maria. On Saturday, Maria is the final of the Olympic Games. Good time in London.
Great Maria, congratulations !!
Take care of yourself.

I'd just leave what you have there...a bottle trap isn't self-cleaning, if I understand how they work. A standard p-trap essentially is as long as the flow is decent.
So my new sink is installed and plumbed and seems to be okay. The new sink's tailpiece is quite close to the wall and consequently there is very little -- actually not really enough -- room for the trap. For now I have the trap running outward and looped back so it can be used, but it looks weird.
I have two possibilities to get the installation fixed up -- I can move the trap adapter over to the side, or I can use a bottle trap.
I'm not sure how guys who deal with them feel about bottle traps. The ones I can find seem to be pretty pricey. I want to spend not more that $50 on a reasonably decent one -- not a designer one, just something durable.
Any opinions whether bottle traps ought to be avoided for any reason?
Any suggestions of a cheap serviceable model to look at?

Depending on how it is constructed, bottle traps are generally not code approved. 1004.0 of the CA plumbing code says "...bottle traps shall be installed ONLY for special conditions" . It would be up to your inspector as to whether you qualify as a "special condition?"
Bottle traps are not allowed by many codes.
They rely on an internal partition to provide the trap seal.
There is no method of inspection that will reveal whether or not this partition has corroded away and is allowing dangerous sewer gases to enter your home.
The method you describe of going past and swiveling the trap around to fit is acceptable. You could move the drain in the wall over or you may even add an elbow to it to allow a better fit.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but how much of the trap arm toward the wall was cut off, and you still didn't have enough room to connect it?
Your sink drain must be right up against the wall if you can't cut the trap enough to install it.

Hi Terry,
The tailpiece comes out about 5 inches from the wall on my Crane sink. The sleeker Toto wall mount that I had my eye on has the drain barely over 3 inches from the wall.
My new trap adapter (remember the 1-1/4 banded coupling thread?) comes proud of the wall by over 3/4. The initial bend in the trap arm needs about 2 inches, the trap itself is over 3. There is just not enough space for the trap between the tailpiece and the trap adapter.
I didn't cut the trap arm at all, thankfully, as the trap itself doesn't even fit. The trap arm is just long enough to reach the trap after swiveling it the other way around.
I just rummaged out the Ontario code and they won't allow bottle traps here. It seems like I couldn't get one if I wanted it. Maybe there is room for someone to invent a bottle-like trap (a very narrow U-bend, with a removable shroud, say) that would meet the code requirements but fit the compact installs.
The backward loop looks dumb, but will have to do until I get my bum in gear to swap out the sink and re-arrange everything. I needed to get this bathroom in service so I will leave that until I come up with something else.

This is the Toto Sink I had in mind:
and I can't see how you could connect it to the rough-ins they show without using a bottle trap.
To put this in my place, I will have to mount the sink over from the drain to allow the trap to run parallel to the wall and move one of the supplies over so the supply stub doesn't interfere with the drain.
It looks pretty though, and fits in the compact space I have to work with.
(Terry) If you rough a little to one side, then the trap won't have to be directly behind, and you can lose some space that way.(Gardner) That's kind of what I meant. Move sink relative to drain rough-in, move drain relative to sink -- it's all relative. But the supply on one side has to move or else the stub will interfere with the tailpiece. As shown in their drawing -- the Toto installation specification -- I can't see how it would work.
