I started from cecret lake and topped the summit then headed east along the ridge. bumped into a deer, mtn goat. I love the exposure and the climbing! awesome hike!

|A Classic Scramble
Date Climbed: Jun 30, 2007
|This was my first time in the Albion Basin and I loved it! The views and exposure would be really hard to beat in any other trip that takes less than three hours car-to-car. Threw in Sugarloaf on the way down since it was so close. Saw several moose, including a massive bull near the campground and a smaller cow on a plateau above the lake.

|Twice to west and middle peaks
Date Climbed: Aug 21, 2011
|First time August 1996. Don't remember if we had intended to complete the traverse, but were intimidated by the east peak and went back down the west side. Our route to top out the west peak was on the American Fork side of the ridge.
Second time Aug 21 2011. Topped the west peak on the LCC side this time, seemed much better. Watched two guys complete the traverse, which was educational as to the route, but one in our party was sketched out between the west and middle peak so we stuck together. I went to the middle one myself, but was sorta glad for the excuse not to expose myself on the east one. I can't speak for that section, but as for the west and middle (true) peaks, I don't see where there were any 5th class moves.

|Route Climbed: Cecret Lake Route
Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2013
|This was a very enjoyable hike/scramble and I feel it's by far the best of its length in the Wasatch. It was really short (up and back in 3 hours), but after leaving the crowds at Cecret Lake and getting up to the ridge, the scrambling/climbing was really fun and the rock quality was much better than most other places in the Wasatch range. I only tagged the western summit since my wife didn't want to do any difficult scrambling that day (9/4/06).
Came back with David and climbed to the highest middle summit from the west on 7/16/13. The exposed scrambling was really fun, and the various summits do look a lot like the towers of a castle when you're up on them. See "Best Bang For Your Buck" trip report for details.

|This is a great peak and a fun climb, but how can people call it Class 5 by the standard route? Have they been on real Class 5 routes, or is the Wasatch idea of Class 5 more liberal than that in other places? (I guess one thing in Utah must be liberal) I would call the climbs to the summit towers Class 3+/4. Stay away if you don't like exposure, though, especially on the ridge above Cecret Lake.

|This was fun. Good 4th class scrambling and easier than I thought it would be. I climbed over all of the summits to make sure that I made it to the top. I couldn't tell which one was higher. I think it was the middle summit.

|Route Climbed: via Secret Lake Date Climbed: October 1, 2004
|I didn't reach the highest summit, but I did reach the lower of the 3 pinnacles. I was hiking alone and heavily comtemplated going for the upper 2 peaks, but my common sense prevailed (thank Heavens!). Scrambled around the back side of the upper 2 (with the view of Pittsburg Lake) then ascended up. Will try again next year!!!

|Nice fun scramble. My friend Peter and I were looking for something short yet fun to do, and this scramble was perfect. Good opportunities along the way to try various routes and make the route harder :)
I didn't like the loose rock much, though

|Route Climbed: Cecret Lake Date Climbed: Sept. 14 2003
|Woke up Sunday and decided for a short but exciting hike, so off to Devils Castles I went. Had good weather and thanks for the steps cut into the snow\ice on the switchbacks the climb went well. Other than a mountain goat I had the ridge\peak to myself. After passing the helivac retrieving someone off the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon I kept thinking of hand graps while climbing the class V areas.

|Route Climbed: Cecret Lake/Traverse Date Climbed: 8/23/03
|Awesome climb! Only a half day, yet some of the wildest terrain in all the Wasatch. Traverse really wasn't as scary as I'd expected...still fun, challenging scramble. Descent to east was more tedious and challenging than expected.

Guckert), a "reporter" for Talon News Service, a front operation run by the conservative Republican-oriented GOPUSA.com, was using an alias as a cleared White House reporter, details are emerging that threaten to immerse the Bush administration in a major scandal.
"Gannongate," which is only now being mentioned by the mainstream news media, threatens to expose a potentially damaging GOP pedophile and male prostitution ring dating back to the 1980s and the administration of George H. W. Bush. James D. Guckert, using the name Jeff Gannon and possibly other aliases, was also running gay porn sites, one with a U.S. Marine Corps theme that solicited males for prostitution.
White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said he did not realize Gannon was using an alias until recently. However, rumors in the gay community are circulating about McClellan frequenting gay bars in Austin, Texas.
Gannon bypassed established Secret Service security controls, including a background check requiring a social security number, to obtain a White House press pass that identified him by an alias, an action seen by many seasoned Washington journalists as only being possible if he had favorable treatment from White House staff, especially McClellan and his predecessor, Ari Fleischer. One White House reporter expressed revulsion over the fact that it was Fleischer who took away press credentials from the late long-time White House correspondent Sarah McClendon and handed them to Gannon.
GOPUSA.com is run by a right-wing Texan and Bush friend named Bobby Eberle.
In 2003, GOPUSA.com launched a vicious anti-Semitic attack against international financier George Soros, a leading philanthropist for progressive causes and a major contributor to the Democratic Party.
In 2003, Gannon was reportedly given access by White House staff to a classified State Department Bureau of Intelligence and Research memorandum regarding a CIA meeting involving the dispatch of former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson to Niger to investigate claims, which turned out to be false, that Iraq had attempted to procure yellowcake uranium from the West African country. The Wilson case ultimately led to a leak to the media by unnamed White House staff of Wilson´s wife´s name and identity as a covert CIA agent.
It was also revealed that Jeffgannon.com had been registered by the same Delaware-based company that had registered other Republican-oriented web sites, along with those catering to pornographic military gay themes and male escort services.
After the Gannon story broke, militaryescorts.com and hotmilitarystud.com were redirected to a secure log-in site at Cupertino, California-based www.dividezero.net/, which was registered to GKG.Net, which had a contact email in College Station, Texas, the home of Texas A&M University and the George H.W. Bush presidential library. Dividezero.net had a secure log-in window but no subscription information. Experts who track illegal content on the web, including child pornography, report that such sites are common where log-in information is provided separately by regular mail so that the identities of subscribers cannot be easily tracked by online enrollment and entry of credit card information.
Gannongate is reminiscent of a huge political scandal that surfaced in Nebraska in 1989 when it was learned that Lawrence King, the head of Franklin Community Credit Union in Omaha and a rising African American star in the GOP (he sang the national anthem at George H. W. Bush´s 1988 nominating convention in New Orleans), was a kingpin—along with top Republicans in Nebraska and Washington, DC, including George H. W. Bush—in a child prostitution and pedophilia scandal. King was later convicted and jailed for fraud but pedophile and prostitution charges were never brought against him and other Nebraska Republican businessmen and politicians.
The scandal, investigated by Nebraska State Senator Loran Schmit, his assistant John DeCamp (a former GOP state senator), State Senate Committee investigator Gary Caradori, and former CIA Director William Colby, reached the very top echelons of the George H. W. Bush administration and GOP. Child prostitutes from Boys Town and other orphanages in Nebraska as well as children procured from China were reportedly flown to Washington for sexcapades with Republican politicians. GOP lobbyist Craig Spence and a number of GOP officials in the administration and Congress were implicated in the scandal, including Labor Secretary Elizabeth Dole´s liaison to the White House. Young male members of the military in Washington, DC, were particularly sought after by the prostitution ring. During the early 1980s, a number of naval officers were implicated in a child pornography ring that extended from Oregon to the San Francisco Bay area and to Chicago and Washington, DC. The story about that ring was covered up by then-Secretary of the Navy John Lehman.
The Nebraska pedophile scandal was similarly covered up on orders from the highest levels of power in the senior Bush White House. Caradori and his young son were killed in a suspicious plane crash in Illinois in 1990. Colby was found floating dead in the Chesapeake Bay, near his home, in 1996. Craig Spence allegedly committed suicide in 1989. Witnesses, many of whom were abused themselves, were intimidated and subsequently jailed in Nebraska and the investigation of the pedophile scandal eventually collapsed. The entire military aspect of the King-Spence scandal is now being repeated in Washington in Gannongate.

A New Burger Features an Entire Cheeseburger Cooked Inside Another Patty
Ever since Pizza Hut stuffed cheese in a pizza crust, people have been coming up with more and more creative ways to make unhealthy food even LESS healthy by STUFFING it. This burger takes that to a WHOLE other level.
A restaurant called Mister Eaters in Preston, England is now serving a hamburger where one of the patties has another ENTIRE CHEESEBURGER stuffed inside it.
They take a regular cheeseburger WITH the bun . . . surround it with more burger meat . . . then grill the whole thing.
Then they stack that monstrosity plus two MORE regular burger patties on four buns, with cheese, lettuce, and tomato.
It comes to at least 10,000 calories, and they're selling it for $33 . . . although it's FREE if you finish it. (Metro)

It takes a long time and a lot of work to turn a hard-shell gourd into a beautiful piece of art. The same can be said for staging an annual art festival. Sondra Hodson is busy with both as the Friday-night opening of the annual "Art, For Heaven's Sake!" festival gets closer.
"It does become a little bit complex," said Hodson, who does publicity for the festival and also - like dozens of others involved - is quick to dive into whatever final chores need doing. "I'll be running around doing setup all day on Friday, putting up pop-up tents, showing artists where to be, getting messy, and then running home to change just before we open - and I come back and I'm an artist."
Hodson has helped to put on the festival for about 20 years, she said, and began showing her artwork about 10 years ago.
"Art, for Heaven's Sake!" is a longstanding tradition for Hodson's family and many other members of Redlands United Church of Christ, which introduced the event in 1979. Her father, Richard Hodson, takes care of plumbing and electricity. Before the 7 p.m. Friday opening, for example, he will circulate among the artists with equipment they might need to light their artwork.
"Dad is the fix-it man," Hodson said. "If something breaks he usually can make it work again."
Her mother, Mara "Dee" Hodson, makes signs for the show, creates brochures for guests and maintains the mailing lists for guests and artists -- festival organizers mail several thousand postcards each year. She also sets up Friday's decorative lights and assigns jobs to volunteers.
Hodson's brother Paul takes charge of logistics, getting the pop-up tents and security fencing set up, and making sure the artists have everything they need. He also works with the security guards and schedules the musical entertainment.
"And of course, it takes many more people to do this," Hodson said, including a trio of co-chairwomen, a team of cashiers, a pair of treasurers, an artist hospitality manager, food organizers and many other helpers. "Church members and even some who are not church members work as a team to pull this show off."
Hodson, an English teacher at Cope Middle School in Redlands, said she creates 15 to 20 gourd pieces in a year. She starts with green hard-shell gourds, a variety used by local Native Americans to make many types of carriers and containers. The gourds are sometimes available pre-cleaned, but Hodson prefers to dry them herself.
"The gourds are green, and they dry from the inside out," she said. "Some take two years to dry all the way through. As they dry, they grow mold on the outside, which can give a mottled pattern to the finished product. Once dry, they are as hard as wood."
Then it's time to open them, Hodson said. She starts by deciding whether she wants a lid on the piece. If so, she figures out how to cut so the parts will fit together nicely, and makes her incision.
"When you look inside, it's not that impressive," she said. "Think semi-moldy dried-up pumpkins." She has, however, found unexpected residents -- including a nest of carpenter ants.
"That was a surprise," she said.
With the gourd open, Hodson uses a drill with a special bit to smooth the inside, and sands the outside to prepare it for painting. She draws decorative inspiration from cultures all over the world, she said, and also comes up with her own designs.
"I do what seems to work best for each individual piece," she said.

My FMIL is overbearing, no question about it. She's even more overbearing with her two grandsons (not biological, they are from her stepdaughters) and seems to think they are hers. She's particularly fixated on the oldest one, who is six and is constantly trying to position herself as his favorite - grandmother, caretaker, you name it. She's carefully constructed GS's universe to revolve around her. She has a bedroom for him in her home, takes him for weekend long sleepovers at least twice a month and he usually spends school vacations with her. So, basically she kind of has this unspoken shared custody with the parents. FI and I had talks about this early on in our relationship and I let him know that if we were to end up together, I wouldn't want his mom (or my mom, or... well, anyone for that matter!) taking my child that much. He admitted he thought it was overboard too and agreed with me that that would not be the case if we were to have a family.
Fast forward to now... we are happily engaged and very soon to be married and starting a family! Last weekend, I hosted a brunch for my mom, FMIL and FSIL. FSIL brought her son, the "favorite." I heard him call for his GM from the bathroom... my FMIL disappeared for a bit, came back to the table and explained that she had to help her GS wipe himself, because he "still hasn't gotten the hang of it on his own." Okay, so my first question is, I feel a little creeped out by this... is this normally what grandparents do? I grew up very close to my grandparents but cannot for the life of me ever remember my gram or even my own mother wiping my bum as a first grader! I'd like to think maybe I'm overreacting here but can't seem to shake the icks it gives me....
Second question. FILs are planning on building a new summer home. FI and I are expected to spend some weekends down there every summer (annoying, but for another post!) Well, this will also be the expectation once our first baby gets here. I don't have too much of a problem with this since FI promised we would split time equally between our families, but here's where I feel like it gets dicey again. Where they are building, space is kind of at a premium. There will be three bedrooms, and a spare room that they will use as a bedroom, over the garage, that can only be accessed by walking through the master bedroom. FI and I will have our own designated room for when we visit, FSILs will have theirs. FMIL wants the room over the garage to be the spare bedroom for the grandkids, even though they plan on finishing the basement and at first, planned to put the kids bedroom down there. Maybe I'm overreacting, but... I don't want to have to walk through my ILs bedroom if my child needs me during the night! If I'm in the same house, I feel strongly that I should be the one to comfort my child from a nightmare. Again, FI agrees and we will have our child with us in our room. Not ideal but...so, my question is, is this weird that she insists (and I mean, INSISTS) that the kids bedroom be accessed through hers? I just kind of feel like it's a power play.
Also, last but not least. During the brunch, the conversation somehow turned to getting stains out, laundry detergent, etc. I know, weird, but that's my FMIL for you! Well, she said, "I use Dreft, even though I don't have a baby right now.." And those were the exact words she used "even though I don't have a baby right now." It immediately caught me off guard and creeped me out (she's 60, I don't think another baby is in the cards for her?!). Well, my mom picked up on it too and casually brought it up the next day, which unfortunately just reinforced how uncomfortable it made me feel! I did not bring this up to FI because I know he will confront his mom about it and it will only lead to a she said/she said since FMIL is a master manipulator.
I love FI very much and I can't picture a life without him. At the same time, FMIL's behavior seems scary and inappropriate to me (I should probably also mention, when FMIL first met my mom, she told her that she was going to be the favorite grandmother. Thankfully my mom has a thick skin but ugh). FI is very close with his mother and is only now just beginning to see her manipulations. He insists he will set appropriate boundaries with her and that if she cannot respect them, she will have no place in our lives. I'm just concerned that she will manipulate him and he will back down.
I'm a huge fan of therapy and would strongly like to suggest it to FI, but, I don't want to make an issue where there isn't one yet... please help, I need thoughts on whether or not what my FMIL does seems like normal grandmother behavior and also, if FI and I should start therapy before we start a family!

My 4month old girl has so little or less hair. She looks like a boy in a pink dress. She was even mistaken for a boy by others. Is there a shampoo or something to make her hair grow? I want to clip her hair or tie a bow but theres no hair to tie.....
29th October 2013 06:51 AM #2
Dear Nadinne,
I really would not be concerned about this. Many babies get mistaken for the opposite sex when they are young. I would not be tempted to do anything to physically alter her appearance (e.g. hair dying, ear piercing) etc as I believe that a person should make their own decisions about cosmetic changes to their body when they are old enough to do so. I feel this is in-line with the gentle parenting way. I would not believe the claims of any shampoo which claimed to make hair grow quicker.
You can get head bands (also known as Alice bands) to put over a baby girls head/hair even if they do not have any hair. If it still concerns you then you could dress her in girls clothes that specifically mention girl/girlie/little lady etc on them in words.
Personally, I have learnt to not let the opinions of others' stick. Some people will always think that girl babies look like boys and vice versa but that will not affect the way I get my children ready in the morning
Warm wishes,

In my experience, most people working with clay start off realizing that they don't know much about it. Then they reach a point where they feel they are gaining a little knowledge and skill but stuill realize they have a lot to learn. Then they "progress" to thinking that they know a lot about it. It is only much later that they then realize that they don't really know diddly in the big scale of the ceramics field. It is those in the middle ground that tend to make those kinds of sweeping statements. It is those in the last category that should be the ones to listen to.

Ogden • As Weber State completed a perfect conference home record Saturday, at halftime senior guard Scott Bamforth was recognized as one of the top 50 players to ever don the Wildcat purple.
A big honor, indeed.
And the 6-foot-2 guard finished the season in style, with 18 points and a game-clinching 3-pointer with less than a minute to play. The game before, Bamforth secured his first-ever collegiate double-double, including a career-high 12 rebounds as WSU won its 11th consecutive game to enter Thursday's Big Sky Conference Tournament as the No. 2 seed against No. 7 Northern Arizona.
Yet, anyone who witnessed Bamforth's performance at the conclusion of 2012 would have never guessed at the heights he gained this season. By the end of 2012, Bamforth was a nonfactor. Weber State coach Randy Rahe left Bamforth home when the Wildcats traveled to Loyola Marymount in the second game of the CIT Tournament, a game lost in overtime.
"Scotty has grown up so much this year," Rahe said. "His maturity level has gone through the roof. He invested into his team. He took everything away from himself and put his whole energy into the team."
Bamforth's start to last season would have challenged anyone. Before the first exhibition game, his wife Kendra, pregnant with son Kingzton, was diagnosed with preeclampsia, a condition characterized by high blood pressure and significant amounts of protein in the urine. She needed to give birth four weeks early. Afterward, Kingzton needed a ventilator to breath.
Both are healthy today.
Still, Bamforth, fresh off an all-conference first-team performance as a sophomore, started well, scoring 28 points in a season-opening game against Utah State. Yet, there were warning signs of what was to come, including a game where he didn't take a single shot, intentionally passing up scoring chances.
Bamforth began this season as a questionmark and finished with another first-team selection.
"By far this has been the best year of my life, of my career," Bamforth said. "I remember sitting in the locker room [after last year's championship loss at Montana] thinking of [teammate Damian Lillard], tears in my eyes. I didn't help him enough to get it done. This year, I still feel it, but now I want to feel the joy."
Rahe entered this season worried about the loss of leadership, his team's toughness and togetherness.
"It scared the hell out me," he said.
Bamforth emerged as a leader.
"Last year, we were a close-knit group, but nothing like this year," Bamforth said. "I've never been apart of anything like this any time in my life. There's real love in the locker room. We feel like we're going to get the job done. I can imagine how it's going to feel."

Another slow cooker meal–LOVE those! This sounds awesome. I love that my list of recipes are growing at a rapid speed–thanks to you gals. 🙂
Steph says
So glad you posted this! I'm doing some freezer "cooking" today and needed another pork recipe to use the rest of my pork. I made the rub by putting all the ingredients in a plastic bag and shaking it all together, then I added the pork to freeze that. I then made the glaze and sprayed a muffin pan and poured the glaze in the muffin tins to freeze so that I can just pop a couple in the microwave to use the night we're doing it. I'm hoping it works! 🙂
Anonymous says
I made this tonight and it was great! My husband and 2 and 4 year old boys had clean plates. I only cooked the tenderloin for 5 hours and that was more than enought time. Next time I would double the glaze recipe so I could use more after it is plated. It was soooo yummy! Thanks for a great and super easy recipe!
Kari C says
I made this tonight….so very good. I kind of suck at glazes, and the aroma from the crock pot was killing me so I think I was far too impatient to let it thicken all the way!!!
Maria N says
would this work with beef roast?
Maria N says
Would this work on a beef roast?
Six Sisters says
Hi Maria!
I think this would work fine with a beef roast. Let us know how it goes!
YUMMY!! I made this for dinner tonight and the fam loved it! This will definitely be on the menu again!
S. Crane says
I really want to make this but I don't have any sage!! Is sage a must? Is there any other spice that would work?
Six Sisters says
You can substitute sage with a few things. Poultry seasoning has sage in it, so that will work. Also Marjoram or Rosemary would work. Sage is used sparingly, so you will probably be fine if you don't have any of the spices listed. But these are a few options. Hope this helps. -The Six Sisters
S. Crane says
I used Oregano (it was the only thing I had) and it turned out great. My hubby LOVED it and said it was one of the best things I've ever cooked! Little did he know how easy it was to make. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
Jen says
I assume the pork loin is drained before the glaze as there is still water and pork grease in the cooker?? Also, do you rinse off any of the rub?? It looks very sage-y…or just slap the glaze on top?? thanks!
Cyd says
I didn't drain anything from my slow cooker or rinse off any of the rub. Just put the glaze on top!
Gemma Fowler says
Hello, can I cook this on High in my slow cooker for half the time? Thanks (big fan from Australia)
Heather Cash says
This is one of my favorite recipes from you guys. I am making it for my aunts tomorrow! But one thing – your print-friendly button doesn't work 🙁
Tara says
Yum. Turned out great and everyone loved it. I was expecting to be able to slice it, but mine turned out to shreds. Not as pretty, but just as tasty!
Laura says
Didn't have any sage so I made it without and it was great! A couple things I'll do differently next time – way too much water in the crockpot pre-glaze and I kept flipping the loin over to get it on all sides, but the water would clean it off. It resulted in having a sort of "broth" to spoon over the meat and rice I served it with, so not all bad, but next time I"ll use less water and double the glaze so we can use it for a sauce when serving
Michelle says
If I want to put this in the over, how long would I have to do that and what would I pre-heat it for?
Cyd says
The low temperature on a crock pot is about 200 degrees. Every crock pot varies. You would probably want to cook it around 275 to 300 degrees. You will want to watch it closely. The size of your roast will determine the cooking time. Probably around 2 hours for a 2 pound roast. Just be sure it's cooked through. Check often. We have only made this in the slow cooker, so I'm going off of cooking times for other pork loin recipes.
Maria says
I cooked this last night and we loved it!! I doubled the glaze and now have a bunch left.
Will this keep? And if so for how long and would you store it in the frig or pantry? I would love to have this around to use on veggies or chicken or anything else I could think of.
Cyd says
Hi Maria! We have never hung on to the glaze for any length of time to use at a later date. It should be fine storing in the pantry. If it does't mix up well when ready to use, you could easily make some more and you aren't out much!
donna says
Do you know what the time conversion would be for an electric pressure cooker? I just purchased one and I am still a little nervous without specific instructions. It is so much faster than the crockpot and has really helped out with dinner time.
Cyd says
You should refer to the instruction booklet that comes with the pressure cooker.
Elizabeth Oborn says
I just tried this recipe tonight and loved it! The glaze was delicious and very balsamic-y. It's more of an adult taste though so my kids begged me to wipe the glaze off their portions. And cook it for 6 hours on low–any more than that and it dries out. And one other idea–i substituted the 1/2 cup of water in the glaze for 1/2 cup of drippings from the crock-pot juices and it was great. If you like balsamic flavor, you'll love this recipe.
Stacy says
This is one of new favorites. I shred the pork at the end and put on nice rolls for shredded pork sandwiches. We spoon the glaze over the top. I double the glaze recipe because my husband and son love it.

Updating now...but the best bit is yet to come...roll on the jailbreak...thank you evad3rs
Jailbreak or not, I only care about software unlocking, will I be able to unlock iPhone 5 via software after this jailbreak? When I travel abroad, I need to keep my iPhone around me because all of my contact information are there, but I have to carry another phone for local phone calls and network access, I need to be able to combine them into one device. No, never international roaming, cannot afford that ridiculous rate.
So I updated over the air, will that mess me up and I will not be able to jailbreak or what?
Damn but if I do a restore it will delete everything...oh well thanks!

Listen to Willie Nelson on iHeartRadio
Willie Nelson's birthday celebration has already begun, and will continue well after the country legend turns 80. Jamey Johnson and Ashley Monroe were among the stars on hand last week to tape a special episode of "CMT Crossroads" in Willie's honor.
Neil Young and Sheryl Crow also took part in the event, along with Leon Russell and Norah Jones. Rocker Jack White hosted the concert at his Third Man Records studio in Nashville.
Willie turns 80 at the end of the month, but the premiere of "CMT Crossroads: Willie Nelson & Friends From Third Man Records" is slated for June.
Willie Nelson's birthday is also being celebrated with a special video campaign. Details on how to submit a clip are posted on Nelson's website.

Salt Ultra Lounge, on site, is Scottsdale's newest gathering place for evening cocktails and music. Reverse happy hour takes place from 9 p.m. to midnight on weekdays, and every one of the drinks are organic and made fresh.

Will the MegaWarrior accept two extensions to add 44" of extra space. I realize this in not what the rack was intended for but just curious if it would fit two extentions.
Yakima MegaWarrior with Extension
Ok if you never want to put it back to regular length
This is good if you need the extra space, as I do. I only use my MegaWarrior with this. That being said, the screw inserts can be a pain/get stripped making removal a pain(I had to drill the screws out...not a fun process). This needs to be redesigned.
Excellent doing business with. I bought 2 at different times and the price increased. They match the cheaper price.

They had a spot on this on the evening news the other night. And a feminist group was boycotting the store and saying it should be stopped. It was a degrading and deplorable depiction of women.
Now I know for a fact that there are some darn good looking, and down right beuatiful, feminist out there (am I a sexist pig for even saying that?).... so why is it that every time I see a situation like this on TV, and where a feminist is interviewed, they look like Rodney Dangerfield with breasts?
I'm sorry, but they are having a hard time winning their case.

Highlights from the third quarter 2013 compared to the third quarter 2012 include:
» Total revenues increased 8.6% to $142.3 million from $131.1 million.
» Comparable store sales, adjusted to reflect the one-week calendar shift, increased 2.4%.
» Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% to $19.8 million from $18.0 million. As a percentage of total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA increased approximately 20 basis points to 13.9%.
Click here to see consolidated balance sheets. A live and archived webcast of the conference call will be available at daveandbusters.com under the Investor Relations section.
"We achieved another record-setting quarter despite a calendar shift negatively impacting total revenues by $3.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA by $2.1 million. Our investment in national cable television to promote ourselves as the premier destination for great food, beverages, and gaming, as well as for the social experience that comes with watching live sports, proved successful in generating strong comparable store sales that continued to outpace the competitive industry benchmark. Our marketing efforts were further enhanced by improved sports viewing areas as well as other ambiance enhancements at many locations that are resonating with guests," said Steve King, chief executive officer of Dave & Buster's Inc.
King continued: "The 2012 and 2013 store classes have collectively proven to be effective contributors to our revenues and Adjusted EBITDA and are generating exceptional returns. Our most recent openings have gotten off to strong starts, and in doing so, demonstrate the underlying market demand for a differentiated entertainment and dining experience. We have now opened a total of five stores this year and we are guiding to between seven and eight new stores for 2014. The potential for the Dave and Buster's brand is underpenetrated relative to our current footprint and we are addressing our development opportunity in an aggressive, yet disciplined manner."
Review of Third Quarter 2013 Operating Results
Total revenues increased 8.6% to $142.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $131.1 million in the third quarter of 2012. Across all stores, Food and Beverage revenues increased 9.6% and Amusements and "other" revenues increased 7.6%. Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2012, there is a one-week calendar shift in the comparison of the fiscal third quarter of 2013 to the fiscal third quarter of 2012. The company estimates that this calendar shift, which resulted in one more low-volume "fall week" during the third quarter of 2013, negatively impacted total revenues by $3.4 million.
Comparable store sales, adjusted to reflect the one-week calendar shift, increased 2.4%. The growth was driven by a 2.1% increase in comparable walk-in sales and a 4.6% increase in comparable special events business sales. Non-comparable store revenues increased $12.3 million to $21.8 million during the third quarter of 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% to $19.8 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $18.0 million in last year's third quarter. As a percentage of total revenues, adjusted EBITDA increased approximately 20 basis points to 13.9%. Adjusting for the one-week calendar shift in the quarter, adjusted EBITDA is estimated to have increased by 24.4%.
The company expects to add a total of five new stores in 2013 of which three were open as of the end of the third quarter. During the third quarter, two stores opened in Syracuse and Albany, New York, respectively. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the company opened stores in Cary, North Carolina, and in Livonia, Michigan.
Total capital expenditures for 2013 are now estimated at between $105 million and $110 million and include development costs for 2013 and 2014 store openings, seven interior remodeling projects and several exterior remodeling projects that have already been completed, along with new games and maintenance capital.
For 2014, the company is providing preliminary development guidance of seven to eight new stores.

REVIEW: RoboCop
By Derek Sante - Review Nation
follow Derek
It is 2028 and once again the city of Detroit takes a large hit as crime and corruption runs rampant. Half of the city is on the take including the police department and the media. Only a few honest detectives are left to fight the good fight; all the while living with a target painted on their back.
Leading this charge is Detective Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman), a family man that pushes back against the dark and grime of the city. Unfortunately, the first in is usually the first to get hit. Shortly after his partner is shot, Detective Murphy finds himself the target of a horrific attack. Close to death and with no other options, a destroyed Alex Murphy gets reconstructed by the huge multi-national corporation OmniCorp.
A police officer not revived, but rebuilt, this once man must find his humanity in the jumble of wires and circuits that has become his living tomb. So now a new mission is created, can RoboCop Rise to the challenge and put his new machinery and might to good use for the city of Detroit.
So yes, better graphics and special effects do make a better RoboCop.(Not even going to mention RoboCop 2 & 3) At the end, it is a simplistic story that we already know, but good visuals and some minor humor make it a fun night out of filled with Sci-fi and action. On a side note: Someone hired Samual L. Jackson to yell at the camera...a lot.
IMAX worthy = Meh, spend the extra money on a larger popcorn.
Grade: C+
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Running time: 1hr 48mins.

Look closely at the person in the picture because I think Topps made a mistake. I might be completely off of my rocker but take a look for yourself.
Who is the player in the picture?
Some clues to help you solve this case:
1. Plouffe wears Under Armor batting gloves
2. Plouffe's bat has been colored (bat in lower corner of card)
|Plouffe watching a ball off the bat.
1. Butera has used Nike batting gloves
2. Butera uses a wood colored bat

Am I right in making this assumption or am I totally off base?

US speedskaters ask to change suits
(NEWSER) – The US speedskating team is still without a medal after an awful start in Sochi, and the squad hopes it can turn things around by changing suits. The team has officially sought permission from the Olympic powers-that-be to ditch their fancy "Mach 39" suits made by Under Armour and revert to older suits when competition resumes tomorrow, reports the Wall Street Journal. The Mach 39 suits, never before used in competition, were supposed to have a whiz-bang design that would boost speeds, but now many think they're actually slowing the skaters down, reports the Chicago Tribune.

News analysis: Obama lays out his vision for the future
CHARLOTTE – The 2008 candidate of hope and change asked Americans Thursday to stay the course.
Older, wiser — and definitely grayer —President Obama picked up where Sen. Barack Obama left off in Denver four years ago when he said government "should ensure opportunity not just for those with the most money and influence, but for every American who's willing to work."
His record on that score remains incomplete, but he urged Americans, particularly those who helped elect him, to turn their hope into faith and desire for change into persistence.
STORY: Obama: Full recovery needs more time
STORY: Biden: Obama 'has always stood up for you'
MORE: Full coverage of the DNC
"It will require common effort, shared responsibility and the kind of bold, persistent experimentation that Franklin Roosevelt pursued during the only crisis worse than this one," Obama said, later recalling as well the man who nominated him the night before: Bill Clinton.
Obama's 36-minute address, as well as those by Vice President Biden and Sen. John Kerry, the party's 2004 nominee, all had a common theme: to portray the president as a man with "a spine of steel," in Biden's words. His most popular decisions — from rescuing General Motors to removing Osama bin Laden — were recalled often.
While Americans had heard him on this stage as an obscure state senator in 2004 and a U.S. senator in 2008, they had never heard him as president — the man who must order troops into battle and who has "held in my arms the mothers and fathers of those who didn't return."
What they heard was likely the last nationally televised speech of his last election campaign. In it, the 51-year-old president proudly defended his record and denounced his Republican opponents' alternatives. And he devoted much of his address to his vision for the future.
INTERACTIVE: USA TODAY/Twitter Election Meter
"I recognize that times have changed since I first spoke to this convention," he said. "The times have changed … and so have I. I'm no longer just a candidate. I'm the president."
From poetry to prose
Where his wife, Michelle, spoke from the heart Tuesday and his Democratic predecessor, Bill Clinton, from the head a day later, Obama spoke from his gut. And his gut told him the choice between himself and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney represents one between limited government — and virtually no government.
"This is the choice we now face. This is what the election comes down to," he said. "Over and over, we have been told by our opponents that bigger tax cuts and fewer regulations are the only way; that since government can't do everything, it should do almost nothing.
"We don't think government can solve all our problems. But we don't think that government is the source of all our problems - any more than are welfare recipients, or corporations, or unions, or immigrants, or gays, or any other group we're told to blame for our troubles."
Unlike many of Obama's soaring speeches, this one included the outlines of a second-term agenda. As a result, it reflected Mario Cuomo's admonition that "you campaign in poetry, you govern in prose."
Obama's prose came in the form of a five-point plan: to rally the country around new goals in education, energy, manufacturing, national security and deficit reduction. Rather than propose new initiatives, however, the goals were mostly retreads and the means of achieving them elusive.
Where Romney spoke in generalities last week in Tampa, Obama sought specifics and set timetables: Doubling exports by 2014. Creating 1 million new manufacturing jobs by 2016. Cutting net oil imports in half by 2020. Cutting the growth of college tuition in half by 2022. Slashing $4 trillion from federal deficits over the next decade.
Obama singled out the administration's foreign-policy achievements, from ending the Iraq War to killing Osama bin Laden. By contrast, campaign aides noted that Romney never mentioned the sacrifice of U.S. troops serving in Afghanistan during his speech last week.
It was a long way from June 3, 2008, when Obama locked up the Democratic nomination over Hillary Rodham Clinton and called it a moment "when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."
Romney, who joked about that comment in his acceptance speech, was no more impressed with Obama's new agenda. "We want a report on the promises he made," he said.
'Rhetoric is cheap'
Despite thunderous applause from an audience forced inside by the threat of thunder, it was not clear that Obama's three-day convention and acceptance speech would produce the bounce in public opinion polls his campaign hoped they would.
He spoke on a hopeful day for Democrats: The Dow Jones industrial average closed at 13,292, its highest level since Dec. 28, 2007. But less than 10 hours after he left the stage, the Labor Department was set to issue its latest monthly jobs report — almost certain to show unemployment above 8% for the 43rd straight month.
Without a pause, Obama was to leave North Carolina this morning for a three-day campaign swing to New Hampshire, Iowa and Florida. Next week, he'll visit Colorado and Nevada.
Republicans will be nipping at his heels. "When the speeches are done and this convention is over … the voters are going to decide who's got the best ideas," Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell said at the Republicans' "war room" in Charlotte. "Results matter. Rhetoric is cheap."
