Homeowners, nationwide, list aesthetic and functional home improvement projects as their top motivation for remodeling – both inside and out.
As St. Louis homeowners, too, gravitate toward functional and cost effective home improvements, outdoor living spaces (such as decks) have grown in popularity.
And with good reason.
Decks — as well as screened porches, shade pergolas and gazebos — are a cost effective upgrade that stretch your home's usable square footage at a fraction of the cost of a room addition… or relocating.
Everyone loves to save money and no one likes to move; thus, an outdoor structure such as a deck is a big win-win.
And Archadeck is known for our award-winning deck designs to complement any type of home, yard and budget.
For instance, a patio deck or platform deck works well for a grade-level lot; whereas a home with more than one story or with a walk-out lower level is conducive to a multilevel or two story deck design.
If, however, your backyard is small, wooded or sloping, a deck with an under deck screen room might be the perfect solution to maximize your space and your scenic view.
After design ideas, the next step is material selection. Decking material options are purely a matter of both personal preference and cost considerations.
Some people prefer the authentic look of 'real' woods that are favorable to outdoor 'wear and tear' — pressure treated wood, cedar, redwood or hardwoods.
Other folks prefer wood alternatives such as composite, capped composite or vinyl decking. The appeal of these newer generation decking materials includes lower maintenance requirements, great looks, longevity and durability. Composite or vinyl decking can strongly resemble wood decking; however, these products are offered in various colors too.
And finally, after your deck design and material selection is completed, Archadeck will guide you through the fine details of choosing railing, balusters, lighting or other accessories for a customized deck, especially for you.
A well-planned deck design, built by a professional contractor such as Archadeck, will ensure a valuable, functional and attractive outdoor space, providing years of enjoyment for your family and friends.
Pictured here is a beautiful and easy-to-maintain platform deck. The composite decking materials and the overall design is a great match for the owners lifestyle, home and backyard layout.
Wide deck steps enhance traffic flow and provide easy access to the yard. The deck is also designed to distinguish areas for grilling, dining, and just kicking back.

Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Corey Crawford stopped 23 shots to post his second shutout of the season, and four different players lit the lamp as the Chicago Blackhawks shut down the St. Louis Blues by a 4-0 count at United Center. "Tonight we knew it was going to be a tough matchup," Crawford said. "It seems like it's always physical against these guys. The first 10 minutes, everyone was just running around trying to hit somebody to trying to avoid a hit. It felt like a playoff game, a playoff-type atmosphere. Our crowd was into it and we played really solidly." Duncan Keith, Marcus Kruger, Andrew Shaw and Ben Smith tallied for the Blackhawks, who rallied from a late overtime loss in Philadelphia on Tuesday to post their second win in three outings and move into second place in the Central Division, one point up on Colorado. The Avalanche lost, 5-4 in overtime at Winnipeg. Patrick Sharp and Nick Leddy added a pair of assists for Chicago, which lost Patrick Kane to an undisclosed leg injury in the second period. Following the contest, the club announced Kane is expected to miss three weeks. "Certainly he's a special player and we'll have to work our way through it, knowing what he brings to our team," said Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville, of the misfortune that punctuated his 700th career victory. "It's definitely a huge loss for us, but we've been fortunate as far as not getting hit too hard. You're going to get tested at some point." Ryan Miller allowed four scores on 27 shots in almost 48 minutes of action for the Blues, who lost for just the second time in the last 10 and saw their lead in the Central shrink to six points over their bitter rivals. St. Louis picked up its first intra-division loss in 23 games (20-1-2) this season. Keith opened the scoring on his point blast that ticked off the left post and in during a Chicago power play with 54.4 seconds remaining in the first period. Chicago went up 2-0 as 4:25 remained on the second-period clock, when Leddy fired away from near the blue line and Shaw redirected the puck with the shaft of his stick past a stunned Miller. Peter Regin and Kruger worked a give-and-go in close, with the latter pushing a rolling puck home from the right side at 5:20 of the third period to give the hosts a three-goal margin. On the following shift, St. Louis forward Dmitrij Jaskin was sent off for hooking and the Blackhawks increased their lead by one when Smith deposited a loose puck on the doorstep at 7:35. "They're the Stanley Cup champions for a reason," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "They know when to turn the temperature up. It's our responsibility, no matter what happens in the regular season, if you're going to give them a go, you're going to have to dial it up. They're getting ready. And it's up to us to get ready. That's the task." Game Notes Quenneville earned his 262nd win as Chicago bench boss, joining Scotty Bowman (1,244) and Al Arbour (782) as the only members of the 700 club as NHL head coach ... Miller, who suffered his first loss as a Blue, allowed more than three goals in one appearance for the first time since being dealt from Buffalo on Feb. 28 ... Brandon Saad was scratched for the second straight game ... Prior to the game, the Blues agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with forward Zach Pochiro ... Blackhawks forward Michal Handzus participated in his 1,000th NHL contest and was honored in a pregame ceremony. He began his career playing for Quenneville in St. Louis.

"Ghostbusters III" in "suspended animation" as Bill Murray passes
Posted by Aubrey Sitterson on
Ever since "Ghostbusters II" in 1989, fans of the classic supernatural action-comedy have been clamoring for another installment. Undeterred by the fact that no one really liked the second movie all that much, fan hopes were stoked by the release of "Ghostbusters: The Video Game" in 2009, featuring the voices and likenesses of the original cast, as well as by frequent claims from star and writer Dan Aykroyd that he would indeed be getting the band back together (to mix movie references). Now, however, a "Ghostbusters" threequel is looking less likely than ever.
An extended profile in Telegraph goes into great detail about Aykroyd's life, with quotes and input from the actor himself. Some of the topics covered include hi Aykroyd's line of premium vodka, his early days on Saturday Night Live, his legendary partnership with John Belushi, and his relationships with ghosts, both the actual, summoned-at-a-séance kind, as well as the types that are more in need of busting.
If you've ever had an interest in Aykroyd or his work, the entire article is definitely worth a read, but if you're just hungry for "Ghostbusters" news you'll want to skip to the end. Aykroyd first wrote a script for the new flick in 1999, but it was a recent rewrite by writers on the American "Office" that got everyone really excited. The new film is meant to establish a new generation of Ghostbusters, and the entire cast was into it, except for Bill Murray, who was the undeniable standout of the first two movies.
Aykroyd explains that Bill Murray just doesn't want to be involved, mostly on account of the fact that he's living a great life as a rich guy, with a bunch of kids and houses, getting paid to play in golf tournaments. As a result, the actor/writer says the project is in "suspended animation," and stresses that they aren't "going to do a movie that exploits the franchise," despite significant interest from the studio.
What do you think of a Bill Murray-less "Ghostbusters III"? Should the production go on without the iconic funnyman? Tell us in the comments below or on Facebook and Twitter.

|"Three For The Show" (1955).
|Man, only in Hollywood would they think this looks real. Note that Jack Lemmon autographed this promo photo for "Three For The Show."
Betty Grable (playing Julie Lowndes), looks perfectly in character as a major Broadway star, at least one in the old days. True, she is no longer as trim as she used to be (a fact that is usually, but not always, well hidden), but she fits the part. It's a bit odd that she is forced to adopt the breathless singing style recently made popular by Marilyn Monroe, which doesn't suit her at all, but she pulls it off. As the center of the story, she is solid and dances well. I can understand why she retired from films shortly after this, time indeed to pass the crown to the new crop of starlets.
|This actually looks like it could lead to something interesting.
If we take Betty Grable as the linchpin of the film - the reason that it got made at all - the main problem with the casting lies with the others. Jack Lemmon plays Marty Stewart, a titan of Broadway writing, and just isn't right for the part. And he is called on to dance.... Lemmon was a great comic actor, and had his moments as a dramatic actor as he got older, too, but he doesn't at all look like or act like a dancer. He also comes across as callow, especially in comparison to Julie, his supposed wife of several years. But where else are you going to hear a young Lemmon sing Broadway show tunes and act like he is madly playing the piano? Jack Lemmon truly is an eccentric choice, and since there are only a handful of characters in the entire film, he sticks out noticeably and somewhat uncomfortably.
|Behind the scenes of "Three For The Show."
Gower Champion, playing Marty's writing partner Vernon, is wrong, but for another reason. Unlike Lemmon, he clearly is a dancer and pulls off his scenes believably. Make no mistake, Gower Champion is an outstanding dancer. He acts like the Broadway stage is his home. But his interactions with Julie don't ring true at all. At least Lemmon is warm with her, if completely out of place otherwise. Gower is lukewarm at best. There is one scene, where Julie supposedly has chosen Marty over him and he has to talk his way back into Julie's good graces, that does not ring true at all. Clearly a great talent, just not right for this part.
Marge Champion, playing Gwen Howard, looks like she wandered in from another film. Although only a few years younger than Grable, she looks at least a decade younger. The chemistry between her and Gower is terrific, with the others decidedly less so. In fact, it is perfectly obvious they belong together, they look like a pair throughout, unlike everybody else.
|Betty Grable showing some leg in "Three For The Show."
There are ballet, or pseudo-ballet, sequences throughout that I personally enjoyed. Unlike some other musicals of the time, they are not completely unrelated to the story with weird abstract touches, but instead reflect what is actually happening in the story. It's kind of cool watching Lemmon pull off dancing moves that clearly are foreign to him. The target audience obviously is female, but these sequences are eminently bearable for anyone.
|Does this look like a couple together for many years?
Again, this is not a big musical like "Oklahoma" or "South Pacific." The songs are subtle (I've always enjoyed "I've Got a Crush on You" and "Someone to Watch Over Me," nice to see where they come from), and the dancing has a comic flair that may keep your interest (as you would expect, with Lemmon involved). The songs do at times seem somewhat superfluous and perhaps a bit out of character. But the show is enjoyable for what it is, a light musical. Don't have unrealistic expectations, if you want "Gigi," go see "Gigi."
Recommended for the songs, the hip mid-1950s New York backdrop, and fans of the stars.

To become wild, irrational, senseless, or insane because of some emotion or sensation. It rained the whole camping trip, and we started going out of minds with boredom being stuck in the tent all day. After yet another sleepless night, I feel like I'm going out of my mind with exhaustion.

Karina Smirnoff has confirmed that she will be returning for the next season of Dancing With The Stars, according to In Touch Weekly.
The professional dancer will return to the ABC series for its tenth season on March 22.
"Yes, I will be participating in the show again next season," Karina said. "I won't be told who my celebrity partner is until two weeks before we meet them for the first time," she added.
Smirnoff's confirmation comes after long-time host Samantha Harris, who co-hosted for eight seasons with Tom Bergeron, announced her departure from the dance competition show.
There is no word on who will potentially replace Harris on the series, although rumours claim that Pamela Anderson will join for its tenth season.

Del Maguey was founded by internationally renowned artist Ron Cooper in 1995. Ron was instrumental in bringing true Single Village Mezcal to the world and one of the first to work with single villages. The mezcals in the Del Maguey range are made by Zapotec Mexican Indian producers (palenqueros) and their families in tiny remote villages scattered throughout the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Each mezcal is named after the village where it is made.
Artisanal production and made by hand using 400 year old techniques passed down from father to son. All the mezcals are 100% agave, locally sourced and either cultivated or wild (Silvestre).
Through deep cultural relationships with Zapotec Mexican Indian producers in the remote villages of Oaxaca, Mexico, Del Maguey harnesses ancient, original organic processes. Combining these methods with varying micro-climates and terroir gives each creation its own unique, rich, sweet and smoky character. Del Maguey Mezcals are true single village mezcal; pre-green, pre-organic and pre-Fair-Trade.
Tasting Notes: A bright sweet nose of papaya and ripe peaches gives way to a lightly sweet and very floral palate. The palate ends with pepper notes and herbal component of Hoja Santa and eucalyptus, resulting in a refreshing finish.

Guillermo del Toro

Year - 2006
Score - 4 Howls Outta 4
I've been a fan of Guillermo del Toro's work since watching THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE in one of my film classes. His work on BLADE II and HELLBOY have been exceptional, proving that he's one of the most original and inventive directors in the film industry today. I heard alot about PAN'S LABYRINTH by watching the Telemundo news program, AL ROJO VIVO, which chronicled del Toro's vision in creating this film and documentaring its path towards the Academy Awards. The film looked interesting visually and I was really curious about the film [especially after some of my fellow MySpace reviewers shouted praises for the film], although I never got the chance to see it until a few days ago. And I have to say - I regret waiting so long to watch this because I really enjoyed EL LABERINTO DEL FAUNO, a.k.a. PAN'S LABYRINTH.
During civil war in 1944 Spain, Capitan Vidal (Sergi Lopez) invites his recently married and pregnant wife Carmen (Ariadna Gil) and her daughter Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) to his fort in order to protect them from the Allies soldiers trying to secure Spain, wanting his unborn son to be born near him. Ofelia dislikes Vidal, never wanting to acknowledge him as her father even at the insistance of Carmen. Since her tailor father passed away, Ofelia buried herself into books, dreaming of fairy tales and wanting to live in these fantasy worlds. While staying at Vidal's army headquarters, Ofelia stumbles into a fairy that leads her into a big labyrinth. Inside, she meets the faun Pan (Doug Jones), who tells Ofelia that she's really the daughter of the Netherworld King who wanted to see sunlight - but lost her immortality and died when the sun blinded her. Wishing for her soul to return home, Pan sets Ofelia on three tasks in order for Ofelia to regain her immortality before the full moon rises - or else she'll be trapped in the mortal world for good. While Ofelia tries to do what Pan asks her to do, the adults around her believe she's just a child with an active imagination. Due the constant struggle between reality and fantasy, Ofelia realizes that fairy tales can be just as dangerous, if not more, than the real world.
Usually, fantasy films can be too childish or too cheesy to be taken seriously. THE NEVERENDING STORY comes to mind. PAN'S LABYRINTH is the total opposite. Honestly, I don't recall the last time I ever saw a film that was so imaginative and original, where the fantasy and the real world were actually one and the same. Guillermo del Toro really outdoes himself here, really bringing his world to life in such a way that we're never sure which world is real or not. I'm not really sure if Ofelia's fairy tale world was really true or it was just a figment of her imagination. That's how good the lines were blurred. The two worlds are balanced perfectly and the transitions between both never feel forced. I greatly appreciated the gothic tone the film took, even in the fantasy world. I kept wondering which world was better because none of them seemed well enough to live in. Ofelia wanted to escape the horrors of her real life, yet she was just as horrified within her fairy tale land as well. She was never truly safe in either land, which gives the film an unsettling tone. If you're not safe in fantasy, then there really is hell on earth.
Del Toro has never directed a better film. We get tons of character development. We get long interior and exterior shots of the labyrinth, its contents, and the worlds that Ofelia is conflicted with. The use of darkness and light is extraordinarily done. The CGI of the fairies, monsters, and both characters played by the awesome Doug Jones are visually stunning. The music, sometimes soothing - sometimes erratic, conveys the mood excellently. And the fact that Del Toro refused to dub his Spanish dialogue into English [that's right, the film's in Spanish with English subtitles] gives the film an authenticity that many films today are missing. This is a fairy tale for adults and del Toro really brings the story to life on film. Such an ambitious film made by an ambition director. PAN'S LABYRINTH is a really well-made film.
And while del Toro and all his technical prowess are excellently done, this film's true heart is its actors. The biggest star is young Ivana Baquero, who plays Ofelia. She's wonderful in conveying her wishes to escape a world that's hard and rough on her to one where she could be a princess. She's our guide in seeing what both worlds are truly like, as she seamlessly tries to fit into both. Usually child actors can be very annoying for their own good. Baquero is the other side of the spectrum, bringing a down-to-earth performance to Ofelia, making her a normal distressed girl that we could all relate to. When her big eyes widen as she marvels at the world around her, our big eyes marvel as well. She's really a warm, young actress and I do hope to see more of her.
Sergi Lopez as Capitan Vidal did such a great job as the evil villain that I wanted nothing but bad things to happen to him. He's so cruel that he almost takes the fantasy out of this film, as he only cares about conquering and winning a war while protecting the birth of his unborn son. He barely cares for his new wife and pretty much ignores or gets rough with Ofelia when she crosses him. The man is pure scum and Lopez did the role justice. The man could have been over-the-top but he's quiet and menancing through his facial expressions. The mark of a great villain, the man almost seemed unstoppable until his world was too much for even someone as powerful as him to control.
The rest of the actors are also perfectly casted. Especially Alex Angulo and Maribel Verdu as Dr. Ferreiro and the housekeeper Mercedes, who worked both with Vidal and with the rebel forces against Vidal. Especially Verdu, who was so weak at the beginning but became so powerful towards the end, was nothing short but captivating to watch. And I can't finish the acting stuff without mentioning Doug Jones, who plays two memorable monster creations in Pan and the Pale Man. The Pale Man, in particular, reminded me of those regenerator monsters in the video game Resident Evil 4. The dude had eyes on his hands - creepy stuff. And his protrayal as Pan was excellent, as I was never sure what his true intentions with Ofelia were. The man can move his body in such a way that you can't keep your eyes off of him. The man is extremely talented and I can see why he was picked to play The Silver Surfer. And if that was him speaking Spanish [he didn't even know the language before shooting], he did a really good job.
And as I stated before, the film is entirely in Spanish with English subtitles. That might turn away alot of people, but believe me, it is not a distraction if you don't understand the language [fortunately as a Puerto Rican, I do]. Keeping up with the story by reading the subtitles is never an issue as you'll be glued to the visuals on the screen anyway [great cinematography] and you'll never miss any of the action on film. The foreign language really enhances the appeal of the film and honestly. If foreign films scare you, take a chance on this one.
1) If you're going to shake somebody's hand, always shake with your right. That's the polite way to do it. If someone uses the left hand, I give you full permission to use your pimp hand and smack that bitch down.
2) I was misled by this film. I was expecting to see David Bowie and his lil' "China Girl" inside the labyrinth. My hopes to hear Ziggy Stardust have been crushed.
3) When you hear noises in your house, the house is trying to say something to you. My house keeps telling me to get out as the walls start to bleed. Where's the Lutz family when you need them?
4) Capitan Vidal believes that a baby should be born near his father. Apparently, the man has never seen one episode of MAURY.
5) The Book of Crossroads will reveal your future when you open the book alone. I wish I had that book before watching TROLL 2. Would have saved me from a traumatic experience.
6) Princesses have the the mark of the moon on their left shoulder. So do fans of SAILOR MOON. Want to know whether you're a princess or a SAILOR MOON fan? If you use a compact to shout, "Moon Prism Power, Make-Up!" to transform, you're not a princess. You just need a psychiatrist.
7) If you trace a door in your room with chalk, you can enter another world and leave as long as your hourglass timer doesn't run out of sand. I'd like to do this so I can enter Shakira's world and make love to that hip-shaking sex kitten. Because after all, like the sands of the hourglass...so are the DAYS OF OUR LIVES...8) Never feed anything non-human your blood. Nothing good will come out of it. See also: THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS.
9) Magic doesn't exist for anyone. Really? Then how does one explain Michael Jackson's nose staying on his bleached face intact? Glue? Yeah right...
10) Capitan Vidal kept looking at his watch as if his life and career depended on it. I guess he was the Spanish Flava Flav.
PAN'S LABYRINTH is a must-see for anyone who can appreciate an original and imaginative film. I didn't think I would enjoy this film as much as I did. This is a film that's worth emotionally investing two hours to. Do yourself a favor and see this if you haven't. PAN'S LABYRINTH is going to be a hard film to top in the near future. A truly magnificent experience that will be one of my favorite films for years to come.

I have some code which is using std::map iterators in a manner similar to pointers. I have a wrapper class around the iterator which facilitates pulling elements out of them. The problem is, when I compile, I get the error "no appropriate default constructor available".
Code:typedef std::map<int, int> foo; class FooElem { foo::const_iterator ci; public: FooElem (foo::const_iterator const & iter) : ci(iter) { } std::string getId() { return ci->first; } int getAge() { return ci->second; } };
So, what I want to do is add a constructor like this...
But... that clearly won't work. What can I do to get this effect? The best I can think of is to use a pointer to the iterator, but it seems like there should be a way to just make a zero-iterator or something.Code:FooElem() : ci(NULL?) { }

NEXT up from this batch of Polish beers is Lech Pils. What I presume is the cheaper version of smooth and pleasant Lech Premium. I'm hoping that this one will be at least as good. Or at least wash away the dreadful taste from yesterday's Tatra Mocne.
Like with Lech Premium, these guys are very good at packaging. The green on gold looks superb. As usual though, I can't understand anything written on it. If you can, do please leave a comment at the end of this post with translations and pronunciations.
With no gigantic promotion getting in the way, you're free to admire the artwork on the two big roundels that dominate. There's what looks like barley and hops. Nothing unusual there. But can someone explain what the two rams in the shield are all about?
In one small strip, there's a barcode and some other details. Between the barcode and anti-drink-drive message are what look like this beer's vital statistics. Let's look closer.
Yes, I think they are. The alcoholic volume appears to be a strong-ish 5.5%. That's 0.3% more than that of Lech Premium. It must be said, Polish people like their beer strong. And, usually, foul tasting.
What else can I make out from the writing. Well, it contains 11.7% of something called "wag". It's by the unimaginatively named "Kompania Powowarska", which probably translates into "Beer Company". The name Poznan is in there too, so that's probably where it's from.
Over on the side of the can with no barcode are some more details. Let's try and understand what this side is all about…
This is just a guess, but I think this is the 'story' side of the can. Where they describe the history of Lech Pils. I wander what it says? My bet is on "We noticed that strong, tasteless lager is popular, so here's another one".
Elsewhere are some other bits and bobs that are harder for me to misinterpret. One of them is an information line telephone number. Another is that this is the ubiquitous 500 millilitre size of can. And the last is that this is going for 2.89zt. Is that a lot of Polish Zloty? Or is it pretty good value?
That's the unnecessary description out of the way. Now it's time to try and enjoy another Polish lager. How will it taste? Will it be as good as Lech Premium or as bad as the rest? I can't put off the inevitable forever, so here goes…
It froths up nicely. But not uncontrollably. It fitted my pint-glass nicely with only one moment where I thought "it's going to overflow". A couple of minutes later, and it's now settled do to a thick, creamy layer of head.
The colour isn't quite as impressive. It's not pale yellow like some. But it's certainly not a rich, deep shade of amber. It's somewhere in-between.
It smells quite alright. You can easily detect the malted barley. Normally you end up snorting the head up through your nostrils in an attempt to smell anything. Not this time. And it's not too strong smelling either.
All well and good, but how does it taste? A few gulp in, and first impressions were good. Until a few moments later when the "bite" left me with an unpleasant aftertaste.
The flavour the same weak blend of malted barley that you get with all lagers that come in a light-coloured liquid. That is swiftly replaced by that lagery "bite" that tastes like malted barley and possibly some other blend of typical beer ingredients. Without a list of ingredients that I can understand, figuring out the taste is like walking around the house at night with the lights switched off. The aftertaste it leaves you with is much the same as that from other lagers. It's strong and hangs around at the back of your mouth for a while. But not as long, or as strongly as the strong "mocne" lagers.
Is there anything to like about Lech Pils? Yes there is. The taste isn't terrible. You can taste the ingredients, whatever they happen to be, much more so than most others. That makes it rich tasting. The bitter after taste isn't excessively rough. And whatever your opinion on the rest of it, it's well made enough to still be fairly easy to drink.
What is there to loath about Lech Pils? If you don't love your lager, plenty. You won't necessarily like it even if you do love pilsner lagers either. Sure it has a taste, but I'm not enjoying. The aftertaste it leaves you with is bad. Not terrible, just not particularly enjoyable. Why would you drink something that isn't delicious when there's so much choice on the shop shelves? Another complaint is how gassy it is. I could inflate a medium sized balloon with the gasses I was burping.
In summation, Lech Pils is a strong tasting, potent yet ultimately less-than-drinkable. It's not as good as Lech Premium. If you have the choice, opt for its green-coloured sister brew. If you like strong tasting, well made lagers, you'll like Lech Pils. This is one for the curious and the lager aficionado.
Rating: 1.8

No chairs in the hallway.
Hallways must be quiet (no running or noise).
Basically there have been too many complaints and I couldn't deliver improvement. I told the office that we have 5 weeks left and I will try my best to avoid breaking lease rules for these 5 weeks.


text: For the annual Hess Toy Truck reveal, Hess wanted to take the unveiling of their highly-anticipated holiday truck to social. Using Grandstand's game-board style, we required 30,000 fans to take social actions on Facebook, foursquare, Twitter and Basno, we left the date of the truck's reveal up to the public and displayed the board only as a Facebook tab. After each tile was 'unlocked' either a clue about the year's truck was revealed or a teaser image of the truck was displayed. The result was 30,000 social actions taken in 4 days!

Monday, Oct. 27
I used to like Jim Tressel and his sweet sweater vests. Now, not so much.
Ohio State Proves There Is No Such Thing as a Lock at 3:35 p.m. ET
So, I lost my last two "Locks of the Week" that I tell Streakers in my live chats (Fridays at 1 p.m.) Both times, The Ohio State University were the cause of my losses. Right when I think the Buckeyes were having an off-year, they destroy Michigan State. That win proved to me that they were national title contenders again, so I was confident they would beat Penn State at home this weekend. But, no, they lose and look nothing like the team I saw the week before. So, that's it. I'm done with Ohio State, period. I am admitting my locks are no longer locks. Therefore, use my advice at your own risk. Updates on the "Beat The StreakMaster" mini-game groups will be coming shortly.
Love/Hate the locks of the week? Want to give The StreakMaster advice? Tell him your thoughts and opinions on his ESPN Profile.
Today's Preview
Two soccer matches start off our busy Monday. First, at noon ET, slight favorite CSKA Moscow is on the road at Dinamo Moscow in the Russian Premier League. Next, at 3:45 p.m. ET, Estrela Amadora travels to Braga in the Portuguese Super Liga, with the home team favored.
Our "Monday Night Football" prop features the Colts' Reggie Wayne against Tennessee's Chris Johnson in a "receiving yards vs. rushing yards" battle. Also, our first NHL prop hits our board at 8 p.m. ET, with Patrick Sharp of the Blackhawks against Antti Miettinen of the Wild in a "more goals" matchup. Both forwards are leading their squads with five goals apiece on the season.
NHL favorites for the night: Anaheim Ducks, New York Rangers (upset special?), and the Edmonton Oilers.
MNF: Indianapolis Colts (3-3) at Tennessee Titans (6-0)
The Titans look to stay perfect when they host Peyton Manning's Colts at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. Tennessee is favored by four points and rightfully so since they're undefeated. However, you can't rule out the Colts, who have had been of the best teams in the NFL over the past few years.
Yesterday's Results:
Ouch! After a phenomenal two days over 70 percent, Streakers finished the day with a dismal 31.2 overall winning percentage. The two Tampa's were the top streak breakers with the Rays losing to the Phillies, 10-2, and the Bucs who lost to the Cowboys, 13-9. Two leaders sit on top of the leaderboard with 16 wins each.

I just had to share to cover of the book.
It's so beautiful!!!
You can get a little sneak peek of the inside on PickleDish
The book was inspired by the Lidya Corker sampler that you can see framed in the background on the cover. The colors and motifs of the sampler really drew me in.....and the verse is oh so sweet.
The original was stitched on silk with silk threads but I reproduced it on linen with silk threads.
I made my reproduction into a Sampler Roll but it can be framed as well.
I love the verse 'Of Improvement' and the pale blues, salmons and tans are my favorite.
And I designed 8 other projects that have the same color pallet and similar motifs.
Each one is something Lidya could have used during her days sitting in the sunny meadow enjoying nature and stitching.
And what a great time to introduce the book.....in the Spring, when everything is coming to life again.
The birds are singing and the flowers and trees are waking from their long winter slumber.
The landscape still has that pale color pallet as it wakes just like Lidya's sampler.
And oh how I wish I could sit in the meadow and stitch away the days just like Lidya.
I hope you enjoy the book as much as I have making it.
I still have a few signed copies left if you're interested.
They are $27.95 plus shipping
and you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for your copy
And they will also be available at your favorite shop.
Check out the Shops that Sell My Patterns
Sydney and I want to thank you for all of your kind words.
We feel stronger today and I know that we're going to be able to have many good days together.
Happy Stitching My Friends

Sunday mornings I wake up bright and early to head to Rikers Island with a group of Fordham Law School students. We volunteer with the 16-18 year old male youth that are housed in the Robert N. Davoren Complex (RNDC) at Rikers. Based on the curriculum developed by some of the law students in the Prisoners Rights Advocates group, we teach the young men about their rights with respect to the 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments. Unfortunately true to what we know and what we have been told, most of the men we've seen there are Black and Latino.
Since we get to RNDC around 9am, the guys are usually being awoken upon our arrival (which can probably suck on a Sunday morning). The workshop literally takes place in their living area, so while most of us sit in a big circle, some of the guys choose to sit on their beds to listen and participate. As with any regular class setting, we have a few guys that are always participating, the guys somewhere in the middle, and those who don't say anything at all. But ultimately, the hope is that each and every one of them is getting something useful out of each lesson.
We're there to inform them of what their rights are, what the law is, engage discussion with them and ultimately learn from them. And they're there to learn a bit about the law, tell us how the law actually is applied through their own experiences, and engage in discussion with us and each other. For me, one of the the most difficult but important parts of going there every Sunday is hearing the (pre-incarceration) experiences of the young men there and their thoughts on the law and how it is applied.
When we talked about Terry Stops, or what many know as "stop-and-frisks," they spoke of their frustration with the unfair and biased nature that "stop-and-frisks" are often carried out by the NYPD. The Center for Constitutional Rights actually has an active federal class action lawsuit, Floyd, et al. v. City of New York, et al., against the NYPD's unconstitutional stop-and-frisks and their use of racial profiling. CCR has been instrumental in raising awareness and gathering statistics on NYPD's stop-and-frisk program, as well as the New York Civil Liberties Union.
Some of the guys also expressed frustration with their public defenders. Some complained of lack of communication, annoyance with being asked to take a plea, and others thought that their attorneys were working against them hand-in-hand with the prosecutors on the opposing side. We tried to assure them that many public defenders are well-meaning but are burdened with huge caseloads of 100+, limited time to really talk extensively with their clients before seeing the judge, and the smaller salaries as a result of the lack of funding public defender offices receive from the government. But then I thought to myself, how much does that really matter to someone who is incarcerated or to someone when they're about to see a judge? How does that help their present situation? Should they really care? These thoughts came to mind because while I felt it was necessary for them to know a bit about being a PD, I didn't want to come across as trying to convince them that they must feel sympathetic and just accept it…for lack of a better way to put it.
Although the Supreme Court said that juveniles in juvenile court, are not entitled to a jury trial in federal court ,we did take some time to discuss rights to an impartial jury in a trial. Today there are 20 states that allow for a trial by jury for certain crimes if a jury is requested. However, New York does not allow juries in any kind of juvenile court case. This can only happen in New York if the juvenile is being tried as an adult. During this workshop, the sentencing issues in cases like Sean Bell and Oscar Grant came up in discussion. This was probably the most difficult class for me. One guy asked how is it that a police officer could get off for murdering someone like Sean Bell but if the situation is flipped and the officer is the one murdered by a regular person, it could mean life imprisonment. I could feel my heart breaking and small tears forming just at hearing that question. While one of my co-instructors gave their response to the question (which I can't remember), I sat there for a moment thinking. I thought of the heartbreaking moment when I learned that Oscar Grant's killer and former police officer, Johannes Mehserle, only got sentenced to 2 years in prison. He ended up serving less than a year which was even more enraging. In response to the young man's question, I could only say that there are real problems with our justice system and that sentencing is unfairly less harsh for law enforcement and often non-existent but that it's all of our jobs to do something about it if we want it to change. We spoke a bit more about it after class and also talked about the latest news coverage on the NYPD planting drugs on people in order to arrest them and meet their quotas.
Tomorrow morning is the mock trial the guys participate in at the close of the program. We'll have them playing different roles: defense attorneys, prosecutors, jury, witnesses, defendant, and so on. We have outside attorneys come in to act as the judges. The guys were really excited about it and apparently this is the most fun part of the program so I'm really looking forward to seeing how the guys do.
Have you been stopped by the NYPD? Tell us your story.
The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) is collecting testimonies from New Yorkers who have been stopped by the NYPD. This collection of stories will appear in an upcoming report that documents the impact of stop-and-frisk on peoples' lives, highlights data regularly provided by the NYPD (CCR receives this data regularly as part of our legal action against the NYPD) and discusses relevant human rights standards.
Tell us your story. Contact us to set up an interview:

Have an opinion about the NYPD's practices in your neighborhood or an experience you would like to share? Take our survey and contribute to our campaign research.
The NYCLU is building evidence that the NYPD's over-reliance on broken windows policing not only places far too many New Yorkers into the criminal justice system but also has negative effects on public safety. We are currently surveying thousands of New Yorkers to find out what effects broken windows policing has on their lives.

Oscar Pistorious To Serve Jail Time
Today, in what is possibly one of the most popular court cases in recent South African history, Honorable Judge Thokozile Masipa handed down sentencing on paralympian Oscar Pistorius. It was announced that Oscar will serve a maximum of 5 years in jail for the culpable homicide of his then girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
As Oscar is lead into the cells and fingerprinted, which will be checked as he enters prison, news of his sentencing and the leniency of his sentence is discussed in newsrooms and on social media across the world. The minimum amount of time that he will serve in prison will be 8 months, after which time correctional services will review his behavior and determine if the remainder of his sentence will be served from home under house arrest.
The public has voiced emotional reactions via Twitter, a stark contrast to the unemotional reaction of Pistorious to his sentencing in the courtroom. He grabbed his uncle Arnold and Aunt Lois's hands as he was led into the holding cells.
Pistorious, who was also convicted for negligent disarming of a firearm in public will serve 3 years suspended sentence concurrently for that conviction.
The lawyer for the Steenkamp family have said that they feel justice has been served. Father of the deceased, has suffered weakening health conditions since the trial has begun.
There is a 14 day period in which the state can appeal the sentencing that was handed down.
What are your thoughts on Oscar's sentence? Let us know in the comments below.

In order to create the healthy, happy and harmonious reality we all desire, we will need to create emotional harmony.
This process can be divided into six basic steps:
1. Recognize our emotions.
2. Accept them as they are.
3. Release them when necessary.
4. Understand how they are created.
5. Transform the negative ones through understanding and create more positive ones.
6. Transcend them.
Here we will present a short profile of some of the basic emotions. We have developed specific questionnaires for understanding each one.
As this book would have become prohibitively large if we included them here, those who are seriously seeking to understand themselves can download these questionnaires from our web site at http://www.HolisticHarmony.com/research/emotions.html. (for members – but membership is free)
Answering those questions will help you discover how those emotions are created and how you might transform them.
Anxiety and worry, although obviously forms of fear, have become so common that it is worth looking at them separately.
Anxiety often concerns the factors of time and results. We are anxious because we fear that we will not have enough time to complete all that we have planned, or that the result will not be successful, perfect or acceptable to the others.
We worry often for the same reasons, but also when we fear something may not turn out as we hope. That "something" may concern ourselves, our children, or our parents or spouse, which of course, ultimately, through our attachment to these people, has to do with ourselves.
We learn to worry as children, and this becomes a habit causing us to search for issues to be anxious or worrisome about, even when there is nothing really important enough to merit such a concern.
We may wonder at times why our mind thinks so much about a particular matter, creating anxiety and worry, when in reality that matter is not so important to us.
Anxiety and worry contain a feeling of danger, that we are unable to achieve what we want or protect ourselves from others or events. It is a form of self-doubt and lack of faith in ourselves, others and the Divine Laws of the universe.
For this reason, we would do well to employ a daily program of:
1. Exercises
2. Breathing techniques
3. Deep relaxation with positive projection,
4. Meditation
5. A healthy diet
6. Creative self-expression.
These activities will help reorganize our energy patterns, freeing us from the hold of negative thoughts.
Positive antidotes to anxiety and worry could be:
1. Faith in divine wisdom and justice; that all will occur as is necessary and beneficial for our growth process. This belief allows us to surrender to the wisdom of the universe and feel secure even when externally we are being challenged by difficult situations.
This does not mean that we do not seek to create the reality we prefer, but simply that we feel sure that the results of our efforts will be the best for our growth regardless of whether they are what we prefer.
2. Confidence in our ability to deal with whatever life brings us. Why should we doubt that we can deal with whatever comes? We have encountered so many tests in life, and here we are – alive and reading this. We have survived. We, as spirit, are greater than any possible human experience.
3. Realizing that we are worthy of love and acceptance as we are.
Much of our anxiety has to do with our doubts about our self-worth which we tend to measure by what others think and by the results of our efforts. Accepting ourselves as we are removes much anxiety.
4. Living in and enjoying the present moment.
Our fears, regrets, anxiety and worry seldom have to do with the present, but rather with the past and future. But neither actually exist. The past exists only to the degree that we carry it in our minds. The future is equally an illusion.
Focusing on what we are doing in the present moment releases us from anxiety and worry.

Our Gate 1 Travel tour of Portugal and Spain on Day 2 repositioned from Lisbon to Seville for the Seville Cordoba Ronda tour. The comfort of the bus and the access to wifi made for easy traveling, which made the day extremely pleasant. The Meliá Lebreros was home for the next two nights.
Seville (Sevilla)
Our Seville Cordoba Ronda Tour started in Seville. It happened to be on the date of the April Fair. Locals camp at the fair grounds and party late into the night. In the morning, the streets were full of horse drawn carriages transporting men in fancy suits and women in brightly colored dresses. The cathedral was closed that morning, so we visited the alcoves of the Plaza de España and the palace and gardens of the Royal Alcázar (Moorish Castle). By noon, half of the Seville Cathedral was opened to the public and we caught a glimpse of the statue of Christopher Columbus.
The traditional Spanish dress of Spring Fair made this stop unique, but Seville also has an unusual permanent display. The half size statute of a native America on horseback and wearing full head dress was provided by Seville's sister city of Kansas City. Meanwhile Seville constructed a half size copy of the Giralda tower minaret and bell tower. Seville came out on the short end in that exchange.
The Seville Cordoba Ronda Tour to Córdoba in the afternoon was excellent. The ancient mosque / basilica of Córdoba was an astonishing. The ancient building is a tribute to the ability of different religions to coexist peacefully. The Moorish structure has an active altar facing Mecca. The original Islamic building has an entire Christian church built completely inside it. You wander through the Moorish columns and suddenly, without passing through a door, you are in the church instead. Our bus driver said to be thankful for the cool, cloudy weather, because in summer it is often 120 F in Córdoba.
Our Gate 1 Travel tour continued on Day 4 by traveling to Ronda. A breeding ranch for bulls, used in bull fighting, was the first stop on our route. Although I'm not a supporter of bull fighting, the breeding ranch staff did a good job of explaining the relevance of bull fighting in Spain. The fact that a bull can only fight once in the ring was particularly interesting to learn. The second time, a bull will know that the matador is the prime target, not the cape. Ronda was a very pleasant small town, but it was over run with tourists.
Our group walked from the Ronda bus depot to the bull ring for a tour inside it. Then we walked the main street, full of shops catering to tourists. The famous Puente Nuevo bridge over the narrow canyon that divides the town was our next tour destination. The view of the bridge spanning the gorge is an iconic photo stop, which was very popular with the crowds. On the other side, the St Mary Major Parish provided an interesting mural, which portrays Christ and his 12 female disciples.
A bus ride to the Meliá Costa del Sol hotel in Torremolinos was next. This completed our day and the Seville Cordoba Ronda segment of the tour.

Friday Mail Sack – Mogwai Edition
Hi folks, Ned here again. This week we hunt down some documentation gremlins and give them a well-deserved smack.
Also, things will be a bit slow next week as I will be out in Redmond teaching this rotation of Microsoft Certified Masters. Never heard of it? If you're at the IT career tipping point, this may be just what the doctor ordered. No really, it is, and I will be there!
What exactly does the dcdiag.exe /fix command do? According to this it fixes the SPNs on the DC machine account. But according to this it ensures that SRV records are appropriately registered (I thought the NetLogon service did this?!). And what exactly does the netdiag.exe /fix command do? This article says it "fixes minor problems", whatever that means.
1. Dcdiag /fix writes back the computers account's AD replication SPN (DRSUAPI with an index value of "E3514235-4B06-11D1-AB04-00C04FC2DCD2") entry only. More info on this SPN here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207876(PROT.13).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee791539(PROT.10).aspx
If someone (else!) has destroyed all the other SPN's, you will need to recreate them or restart whichever service recreates them. For example if the DFSR SPN goes missing, you restart the DFSR service and it will get put back.
2. Netdiag /fix reads the %systemroot%\system32\config\Netlogon.dns file and attempts to register all records in DNS.
I confirmed both in source code, regardless of what old TechNet goo states. :-)
In Win2008 DFSR has been improved regarding the asynchronous RPC connections and 16 concurrent connections for upload and download. Do you have any further info on how improved the performance will be from Win2003 R2 to Win2008/2008 R2? Are there any other factors that would drive me to start rolling out the later OS versions?
I will be posting posted some new info about performance improvements in 2008/2008 R2 as well as registry tuning options in the coming weeks. But we don't have any specific case studies that I am aware of yet – I'll see if I can find them, and if you do, feel free to comment. We do have some rather unspecific ones, if you're interested.
From testing and customer experience though, we see anywhere from a 4 to 20 times performance improvement of 2008 over 2003 R2, depending on a variety of factors that are often very customer specific (network speed, bandwidth, latency, loss rates, errors, overall uptime + memory + CPU + disk subsystem + drivers). Not only did DFSR improve, but the OS got improvements and it makes better use of newer hardware. Besides the RPC and other changes, Win2008 tweaks the DFSR credit manager, and 2008 R2 really improves it – much more evenly-distributed replication with greatly lowered chance of servers being starved by updates.
Other factors:
- Win2003 enters extended support on July 13 2010. This means no further hotfixes that improve reliability or performance, and 5 years of crossed fingers until end of life.
- You would now have the option on DC's to switch to DFSR-enabled SYSVOL and no longer use FRS there.
- If deploying 2008 R2, you would also gain read-only and cluster support, which is unavailable in 2003/2008.
I am using your old blog post on making custom registry changes and…
Ewwwww… The only reason to use that old document is if you are still running Windows 2000 somewhere. Otherwise you should be busting out Group Policy Preferences and wowing your friends and family.
Oh, and really? You're running Win2000? That's very uncool of you…
I am doing USMT migrations with /SF. What is that switch and why are my migrations absolutely busted to heck?
This one came in late last week and was so gnarly that it ended generating a whole blog post. Read more here. Sometimes your questions to us generate more than a Friday reply.
Good work, Internets!

Helmut Rilling, who is known for his recordings of Bach's cantatas, as well as many other of Bach's works, directs a recording of Bach's motets, sacred, choral works which are among Bach's finest works for the choir. Motets are essentially choral solos, with a limited instrumental accompaniment. They can be performed in many different ways, with forces ranging from one to two voices per part (such as Cantus Colln's recording) or with a huge choir, as here, with almost 40 singers. There are differences in tempi as well, with some of the smaller ensembles performing them at what can rightly be called top-speed, and others, such as Rilling's choir here, performing them slowly and meditatively.

July 14, 2014
A thick band of cirrus clouds obscured the morning sun as we awoke at our camp at Henry Flats (10,560 ft). The only sounds came from a gentle lapping of water from the tarn we were camped next to, and a soft breeze whistling through the trees. Besides the nagging mosquitoes, it had been a near perfect night, with temperatures in the mid 50s and a slight breeze coming in from the southeast. By 7am, we had set off along the ridge for our first peak on the traverse: Upheaval Peak.
camp at Henry Flats
Initially, the ridge was easy, involving nothing more than class 1-2 walking on flat clinky rocks. As we approached Upheaval's northwest ridge (which began at the ~11,000 ft mark), the terrain turned into fun class 3 scrambling with a few class 4 moves on generally solid rock.
Upheaval Peak northwest ridge
a class 4-5 pull-up move
All too soon, our short but fun ridge came to an end, and we found ourselves standing on the summit of Upheaval Peak.
view northwest from summit (11,442 ft)
Descending Upheaval's southwest ridge involved similar terrain as climbing its northwest ridge, but was a little more tedious. We were able to keep it class 3 by dropping a few feet down on the east side of the ridge when class 5 pinnacles stood in the way.
Upheaval Peak southwest ridge
Next up was Heather Peak: a small red bump between Upheaval and Henry. Even though the peak seemed insignificant in the midst of its higher dominant neighbor, it still bore 320 ft of prominence, which usually would get it considered as "peak" status. From the lowpoint (11,220 ft) between Upheaval and Heather, Heather's northwest ridge was a simple class 1-2 walk-up.
view north from Heather's summit (11,620 ft)
Getting from Heather Peak to the lowpoint (11,330 ft) between Heather and Henry involved short spurts of class 3 and a few short knife edges. Ahead, the north ridge of Henry looked vertical and daunting, seeming more difficult than its reportedly class 3 rating.
As it turned out, the north ridge was not nearly as bad as it looked, and turned out to contain some very fun climbing. As we got closer to it, the numerous cracks and boulders of the ridge began to show themselves, and the climbing got no harder than a few moves of easy class 4 if one stayed directly on the ridge. It looked possible to keep the entire route class 3 and below by heading slightly to the left at the large section of white rock near the top.
Once the north ridge ended, a short section of knife edge brought us to the summit plateau. The actual summit was a short walk away to the southeast.
view south from summit (12,196 ft)
The next peak (which Andy Smatko had dubbed "Mt. Henryetta" in the register) was plainly visible to the south. Shortly after descending Henry, we ran into a short section of class 3 on Henry's south ridge.
After the next saddle (11,580 ft), the majority of Henryetta's northwest ridge contained class 2 terrain on slightly wobbly rock. The final bit of ridge steepened into a short class 3 finish.
As we reached the summit of Henryetta, the first drops of rain from a thunderstorm that was developing right over our heads began splashing down. We remained on the summit for about 5 minutes, then began a hasty descent down Henryetta's southeast ridge. Thankfully, the wind was blowing the storm west and away from us, and after another 15 minutes or so, it had moved a good distance away. Henryetta had contained one of my favorite views on the traverse. A large unnamed lake sat in a deep bowl east of the summit, bordered on three sides by steep dark cliffs. It looked incredibly surreal, like a portal into another universe.

looking southeast towards our next peak: Turf Peak
Henryetta's southeast ridge was a mix of class 2 and 3, composed of sharp bits of metamorphic rock. At this point, Michael looked physically beat. He had been taking numerous breaks throughout the past two hours. As we stopped again for another break, he told me that he would not be able to finish the traverse, and wanted to bail from the ridge. The map indicated the next bail out point to be Hell For Sure Pass, which was located at the saddle southeast of Red Mountain, still two peaks away. Conveniently, the only trail to cross either the LeConte or White divides went through this pass. Michael planned to take this trail into Goddard Canyon, pick up the JMT, and set up camp at Evolution Lake. There, he would spend the next two days relaxing and bagging some peaks surrounding the lake (such as Mt. Darwin). Since I was to continue the traverse, we planned to meet back up at Evolution Lake either Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
After this point, we said bye to eachother and continued on at our individual paces. I was hoping to make it to Lake Confusion later that day. Overhead, the clouds were growing heavy and looking about ready to burst.

Turf Peak's northwest ridge was a pretty uneventful class 2 walk and boulder hop.

After some digging around, I managed to locate a "register" (if you could call it that). It was basically a business card stuffed into a Zipblock bag that was full of holes. There was no writing utensil included.
Traversing over to the next peak (Red Mountain) was pretty easy. It was a smooth class 1-2 descent to the saddle (11,520 ft) between the peaks and up Red Mountain's northwest ridge.
Red Mountain's summit was an interesting little spot. It seemed as though someone had taken cans of bright red paint and splattered them all over the summit. I did not linger for long, as it began to rain and a few loud thunderclaps sounded from the west.
Red Mountain summit (11,963 ft), looking southeast
There were several ways to descend Red Mountain's southeast ridge. I remained directly on the ridge itself, which contained a few sections of class 3 boulders and some small scraggly pines. Just east of the ridge were several patches of what looked like class 2 sand slopes with a few boulders strewn here and there.
looking southeast from Red Mountain's southeast ridge
The thundershower that had caught me on Red Mountain now looked much nastier.
Hell For Sure Pass (11,300 ft)
Shortly after Hell For Sure Pass, I became engulfed in yet another thundershower. This time the rain was heavier, and I sheltered under some rocks for about 20 minutes until the storm passed, then proceeded up Hell For Sure Peak's class 3 northwest ridge. I was surprised at how much slipperier the wet rock had become, and proceeded to climb more cautiously.
Hell For Sure Peak's northwest ridge
looking south from Hell For Sure Peak (11,837 ft)
Getting down Hell For Sure Peak's south ridge was an easy class 1-2 walk on small clinky rocks. Roughly halfway between Hell For Sure Peak and the next peak (Little Hutton) lay a tarn which I came to dub "Hell For Sure Tarn" (11,440 ft). So far, this was the only water source that lay directly on the ridge itself. The water looked pretty clean, and I gratefully recharged my bottles, feeling very thankful that I would not have to descend several hundred feet off the ridge to a lower lake to attain water.
Hell For Sure Tarn
view towards Goddard Canyon
After the tarn, I noticed a grassy bench which ran along just below the ridge on its western side. This bypassed a large chunk of tedious rock hopping that was found on top of the ridge. In what felt like no time, I was standing on the summit of Little Hutton (11,690 ft). The last hundred feet or so had consisted of class 3 boulders.
To the west of Little Hutton lay Mt. Hutton, which would be an out-and-back detour. Since I would be coming back to Little Hutton, I left my pack on the peak and continued towards Mt. Hutton via east ridge. Ahhhh....how good it felt to get that that heavy pack off my back, even if it was only for a little while!

lakes north of Hutton Pass
Mt. Hutton's east ridge was pretty much a big pile of boulders. Staying directly on the ridge itself involved very large class 3 boulders. Staying just below and to the south of the ridge involved hopping somewhat smaller class 2 boulders.
Several boulders later, I found myself on the summit. The storms had cleared, and the sun had broken through the clouds. It was a beautiful afternoon. Lakes all around the mountain were sparkling in afternoon sunshine. I laid down on the summit for a short while, taking it all in.

NOT a "shitty summit!"

I trudged back up to Little Hutton, collected my pack, groaned as it made its way back onto my back, descended Little Hutton's short class 2 southeast ridge, and began hoofing up Thumb Peak's blocky class 3 northwest ridge.
Thumb Peak contained two summits of similar height. It was hard to tell which one was higher so I ended up doing both. The western highpoint was a pile of rocks which the ridge naturally ascended to. A few feet away to the east stood a thumb-like pinnacle protruding out of the summit plateau (which is why I dubbed this peak "Thumb Peak"). This pinnacle could be surmounted with a class 3 friction move.
the pinnacle
view south from Thumb Peak (12,020 ft)
The descent off Thumb Peak and ascent of Schoolmarm Peak to the east was uneventful, composed of more ridges of class 2 boulder hopping. The one thing that was nice about this section was the vivid orange glow the late afternoon sun cast on the surrounding terrain, especially towards several ridges to the east.
At this point, I realized that I would not be able to make it to my goal of Confusion Lake before dark, so I settled on camping at a spot which I dubbed "Holster Saddle." This was the soft and sandy-looking saddle which stood between Holster Peak and Horsehead Peak.
view southeast from Schoolmarm Peak (11,990 ft)
From Schoolmarm Peak, it was another stretch class 2 boulder hopping to Holster Peak. Between the two peaks lay a scattering of small tarns and flat areas which were good for camping. The only downside was the copious amount of mosquitoes.
glowing ridges to the east
Holster peak reflected in one of the tarns
By the time I had began ascending Holster Peak's northeast ridge, the sun was a few minutes away from setting. I reached the summit with just enough light to snap a few grainy photos.
looking southeast from Holster Peak
I made my way down to Holster Saddle, which was just as I had imagined it to be. The only downside was that there was no water. On the other hand, the terrain was soft, sandy, and generally flat. I pitched the tent and crawled in as quickly as possible before the few lingering mosquitoes could take anymore bites out of me. The moon rose shortly after, making it seem as though someone was shining a bright flashlight on the tent. I ate a few pieces of jerky for dinner, then fell fast asleep in no time.

Passed House without amendment (07/20/2004)
(This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the House on July 15, 2004. The summary of that version is repeated here.)
Stock Option Accounting Reform Act - (Sec. 2) Amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to require an issuer of registered securities to show as an expense in its annual report the fair value of all stock purchase options granted after December 31, 2004, to: (1) all individuals serving as the chief executive officer of an issuer, or acting in a similar capacity, during the most recent fiscal year, regardless of compensation level; and (2) the four most highly compensated executive officers (other than a chief executive officer) that were serving as executive officers of an issuer at the end of the most recent fiscal year ("named executive officer").
Defines the fair value of an option to purchase such stock.
Exempts small business issuers from the Act's requirement.
(Sec. 3) Amends the Securities Act of 1933 to prohibit the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from recognizing as "generally accepted" any accounting principle relating to the expensing of stock options unless it complies with both: (1) specified expense recomputation requirements; and (2) a required joint study by the Secretaries of Commerce and of Labor of the economic impact of the mandatory expensing of employee stock options.
Requires the recomputation and re-reporting of the expense of a stock purchase option that is exercised, to equal the difference between the price of the underlying stock and the exercise price.
Requires the re-reporting as a reduction of the total expense originally required to be reported if the option expires or is forfeited.
(Sec. 4) Directs the SEC to require each issuer to include in its periodic report more detailed information regarding stock option plans, stock purchase plans, and other arrangements involving an employee acquisition of an equity interest in the company, including: (1) a discussion, written in accordance with the Plain English Handbook published by the SEC Office of Investor Education and Assistance on the dilutive effect of stock option plans; (2) expanded disclosure of the dilutive effect of employee stock options on the issuer's earnings per share; (3) prominent placement and increased comparability and uniformity of all stock option related information; (4) the number of outstanding stock options; (5) the weighted average exercise price of all outstanding stock options; and (6) the estimated number of stock options outstanding that will vest in each year.
