Tyler Keup appeared in Lincoln County Court Thursday to be arraigned for possession of amphetamine with intent to deliver and carrying a concealed weapon.
Deputy Lincoln County Attorney Jennifer Wellan told Piccolo that her office would amend the weapons charge to possession of a deadly weapon by a restricted person (from possession.) Wellen said the other charges -- two counts of drug distribution and two counts of drug possession -- would stay the same.
Keup attempted to discuss the weapon (knife) with Piccolo. He said it belonged to Brandi Sanchez, the passenger in the car and pointed out that the knife was under that seat.
Piccolo advised him that he should wait and discuss that with his attorney. Keup asked Piccolo if he could get a bond reduction and Wellan objected saying,, he has a prior conviction that was drug related and I would not agree to any bond reduction.
Piccolo denied the reduction and left Keups bond at $250,000.
Quincey Shugart, 34, of North Platte, charged with aggravated assault in the stabbing of a North Platte man on Thanksgiving Day.
Shugart waived his preliminary hearing and Piccolo bound the case over to district court.
A preliminary hearing on a charge of third-degree assault, for which Shugart was cited on Monday, was continued until Jan. 31.
Defense attorney Amanda Speichert asked for a bond reduction with no objection from Deputy Lincoln County Attorney Jennifer Wellan. Piccolo reduced the bond from $100,000 to $50,000.
If Shugart pays the required 10 percent, that will also fulfill his requirement on a $10,000 bond for the separate third-degree assault charge.
A charge of third-degree assault was dropped against David Lee Shutler, 43, in a plea bargain with the Lincoln County Attorneys Office.
The agreement is that Shutler plead no contest and be convicted of criminal mischief and trespassing. Shutler accepted the agreement.
He was sentenced to nine days jail with credit for nine days served.
Shutler was arrested Nov. 20 when the North Platte Police were called to the Alamo Bar about a disturbance inside. As the officers went in the bar they saw Shutler yelling and throw a pitcher of beer at the bartender. When they ordered him to leave, he refused and was taken to the jail to ponder his situation.

Peter Friedman, Sarah Steele and More Set for SCHOOLED Reading at Davenport Studios, 12/3
Ken Davenport of Davenport Theatrical Enterprises presents a reading of the new play Schooled, written by Lisa Lewis and directed by Jules Ochoa, as part of the Davenport Developmental Reading Series. Schooled stars Tony nominee Peter Friedman (Playwrights Horizon's Circle Mirror Transformation), Sarah Steele (Lincoln Center Theatre/LCT3's Slowgirl), Harry Zittel (Lincoln Center Theatre/LCT3's All-American) and Zoë Winters (Lincoln Center Theatre/LCT3's 4000 Miles). The reading will take place on Monday, December 3rd at 8pm at The Davenport Studios, located at 250 West 49th Street, Suite 304, in New York City.
Schooled by Lisa Lewis explores the widening chasm between privilege, economic class and the opportunities for success. Two students vie for a competitive grant from their roguish professor in a taut threesome that tests their romantic relationship and their ethics. A biting drama with surprising humor, Schooled is an examination of the lies we tell ourselves, and the truths we refuse to believe.

Do you think that everyone from the Big Ten tournament is from Indy? Of course not. Indy should host the Big Ten tournament not because it's a great sports town (I used to believe it was, but I've changed my mind), but because it has a perfect set-up:
a). Central Location in the Midwest
b). The best basketball arena in the country.Code:Driving Distance from Indianapolis Ann Arbor 4 1/3 hrs. Bloomington 1 1/4 hrs. Champaign 2 hrs. Columbus 3 hrs. East Lansing 4 hrs. Evanston 3 1/2 hrs. Iowa City 6 hrs. Madison 5 1/2 hrs. Minneapolis 9 3/4 hrs. State College 8 1/2 hrs. West Lafayette 1 1/3 hrs.
c). The best basketball arena in the country located DOWNTOWN. Although Chicago's downtown is 100x better than Indy's, the United Center is not located in the middle of the city.
d). Headquarters of the NCAA (an obvious factor)
e). A compact downtown with plenty of hotels, bars, and restaurants (and unfortunately, abundance of chain restaurants which offer safe dining options), and a full scale mall. On a free day, you could walk from your hotel to plenty of monuments/memorials, visit the NCAA Hall of Champions, walk the Canal, and eat on Mass Ave.
f). A mall, convention center, and hotels connected via a Skywalk system incase it's too chilly outside.
That's why we're hosting the Big 10 tournament, not because we're a great sports town.
Just for the record:
The Blazers didn't get "lucky" in the 2006 draft to get Aldridge. In fact, they were UNLUCKY. They had the worst record in the league and wound up with the #4 pick in the draft, the worst possible lottery scenario. Nobody cried for them when this happened.
They moved up to #2 in a trade with Chicago. Call them lucky for John Paxson being a moron.
Then they traded Sebastian Telfair and took on an extra year of Raef Lafrentz's contract (and traded away Theo Ratliff who expiries a year earlier) to get Brandon Roy. Definitely took the owner's wallet to do that, but took some good GMing as well.
They also drafted Travis Outlaw, a relatively unknown highschooler in 2003, with a pick in the 20's.
The Blazers still have not cut Darius Miles. He's still on their roster and they haven't bought him out. The guys they've bought out have been Shawn Kemp and Steve Francis (who had a shorter deal than Zach Randolph).
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
No you can't. You can't even guarantee that you'll be alive tomorrow. None of us can guarantee anything.
Kemo, your point is well taken, and I think most of us who who criticize the bad guys on the Pacers team yearn for the day when Foster, Granger, Dunleavy, Diener, Rush, Murphy, Owens, Graham and a few other good guys are the face of the Pacers. But that day has not arrived yet.

And I won't be here to see the day
It all dries up and blows away
I'd hang around just to see
But they never had much use for me
In Levelland. (James McMurtry)
Why the heck did Indy support those ABA teams? Why have Indy fans supported the NBA Pacers all these years? It is an issue but that is a smoke screen for what is really wrong with
the Pacers currently. Plus this town is really only able to handle WELL one professional team.
Two teams really put the strain on what fans are willing to spend. Throw in all the other factors at play as Geez said and you have what you have.
I'm not going any further on that.
My thought was, even if K. P. was our GM, I don't know if we would get the same results because of where the owner is with spending more money when we are this far away. I know the Simons spent when we were close and before the Luxary Tax, but we are far away and now there is the Tax.
...Still "flying casual"
A GM making trades with other teams isn't simply luck. It's finding a trade that another team is willing to do, which is a skill. When they traded up to get Aldridge, John Paxson was a smart guy and Chicago knew what they were doing and knew who they wanted.
OK this is how I see it. And I had 4 season tix 4 rows from the floor at the 3 pt line during the 80's....the 80's for Pete's sake, There are a ton of reasons the fans fail to show up to the games now...but as sated earlier, that doesn't mean they aren't watching. I can watch from the compfort of my Barkolounger and not have to shell out $300/game (if I take the family, which they don't even watch at home so why take em?) that doesn't mean I'm not interested, only pragmatic.
But here's the problem...and I am prolly more dogmatic that most about the P's...
If the Pacers left Indy today, I would never watch another NBA game. at least not until another team moved here...and that wouldn't be long IMO. I'm a Pacer fan...NOT an NBA fan and I'm 100% convinced that is true of most "fans" in Indy.
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
Can we move on to a different straw man?
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
You know what? This whole subject is really starting to me off!
If I decide I don't want to pay to watch a team play that's my prerogative. It doesn't mean I'm not a real sports fan.
I quit getting Pacers season tickets because Reggie retired and the team was raising the price my ticket to a level I didn't think was worth paying in relation to the enjoyment I was getting out of going to the games. (And that was when the team was good.)
As I recall when Stephen Jackson was here and he was getting booed people were raising a big stink about it. Now we're supposed to go to games and boo? I don't know about anyone else but I'm not spending $3.45/gallon on gas plus the price of a ticket just so I can go boo at a team. Not when I can stay at home and watch IUPUI and Butler play in their tournament final games. Heck, these days I'd rather go watch a high school team play than watch an NBA team.
It seems a few of you don't understand what Benner meant when he said what he did about race. Though it's a lot deeper to me than I care to explain (UB already touched on it a bit), I'll say this much.
I hate the word "thug" and the way its used to describe black NBA players that find themselves in a bad position with the law. I call Rae Carruth a thug. That's because he actually did something that the true definition of a thug does. He killed.
Thug: 1. a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber, or murderer.
Yet I only hear the word referenced to black players, and recently black people. I take offense to it because it's being used like it's the new 'N' word, not for it's true meaning. Ron Artest, Jamaal Tinsley, Stephen Jackson, Marquis Daniels, and recently Shawne Williams have all been called thugs. Going by the words definition I don't see them as thugs. Lacking judgement, hard headed, troublesome, idiot, etc. ok, that's a good definition of them. But thug is definitely not.
It seems to me these things help make the case FOR Indianapolis being a good sports town.
Funny part is that when I was younger, a "thug" in terms of basketball was an enforcer/dirty player. It was interchangable with "goon" or "hack". Rick Mahorn was a thug. Maurice Lucas. Jeff Ruland. Bill Laimbeer.
Now, however, there's a new, nastier connotation, and I do agree with those who say it has racial undertones. I think it's a broad brush that gets used too easily these days.
Well, I guess I could say "those *** holes who keep getting in trouble with the law." It's just easier to say "thug" (plus thug makes it through the bad word filter). It's not my fault those who keep getting in trouble happen to be African-American.

Everybody needs some sunshine.
Some people think it's the losing. Some think it's the incidents.
The truth is, it's both.
You have to ask why the Pacers are LAST in the NBA in attendance when they are not the smallest market and not even close to the worst record.
Some conveniently explain this away by stereotyping Indiana fans as being some monolithic mass that can be characterized as fickle fans. That's grasping a false conclusion to avoid the truth.
Again, the truth is, it's both. Why isn't the same being said of other cities? What about Memphis? How in the world is their attendance significantly higher than the Pacers?
The truth is, sharing the Pacers with a friend is like sharing a disease. Sharing the Pacers with a client is equivalent to losing your client. Sharing the Pacers with your children is child abuse. At least, that's the reputation...and it does matter to *SOME* people....both when they decide to spend their entertainment dollars...and when they decide to buy merchandise.
Now, losing probably still accounts for 70-80% of the attendance drop....but that extra 20-30% is worth a solid 1000 fans...which would make all the difference in the world.........
I remember back the year of the brawl when we were playing the Orlando Magic on TNT a week or so after the brawl. During halftime, Charles Barkley brought up the exact use of the word I'm talking about now and how it has some racial undertones. Kenny Smith kept nodding their heads agreeing with Charles. Maybe it's an argument only black people can really understand.
And that Jason Williams kid down in Miami. It's racist to call him a thug.
Just cut out all the racism, you guys. It's just not right!
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
I think most people are using the term as a synonym for "criminal".
Personally, I simply don't make a connection with race at all. I may have used the term before, but it's not commonly used in my arsenal of slams. Now, I do think that the term "gangsta" has racial connotations....
BTW, most words have multiple definitions. Here is another one:
Thug: an aggressive and violent young criminal [syn: hood]
IMO, regardless of the term, that definition applies to some of our players based on their own actions. For example, Jackson fits that definition at Club Rio. Tinsley is facing an felony intimidation charge. Both guys are fairly young and facing criminal charges involving aggression/violence. So, thug is a perfect definition here and it could just be that people are using this definition.
BTW, how do you explain the poster who loves Granger or Reggie and calls Jackson and Tinsley thugs? Is he a racist? Or is he sick of off court incidents? Seriously, I doubt people are using the term the way you think they are. In any event, I will refrain from using that word here just to be civil.
Me Too!
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
Chris Anderson seems like he deserves the label...but did he do anything violent. I think the term connotes violence along with illegality. In any event, he deserves to be called a criminal...

Just got back from the game. The Pistons played so bad they made Roy Hibbert look like an all-star.
An interesting thing that people who watched the game on TV didn't see. Some woman turned down two free tickets to Friday's game against Miami for what ended up being a David West autographed jersey. Just incredible. Some guy in front of her snatched them up immediately when offered.

Lance was amazing tonight. He made a bunch of electrifying passes, and he was just super aggressive driving it into the paint. I wouldn't be surprised to see him taking over the Point soon if Granger has any set backs. Slide Hill to the 2 spot. My only criticism of him tonight was that he becomes incredibly unfocused once he give up the ball. Sort just turns his back on the play. But he was super gassed there in the 4th.
Poor Gerald Green, couldn't even get a shot off in the garbage minutes. He was almost froze out of the offense.
PG is gonna have to play lot better on Friday.
I'm looking for Granger to return Friday the 8th against Toronto.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
Paul seemed off tonight
Smothered Chicken!
He needs to stop staring down the refs every time he doesn't get a call. Somebody needs to beat into his head that you don't stop until the whistle blows. If he looking for respect from the refs then he has to realize that giving them the death stare isn't going get him there.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
That was one of the great Pacer moments, they were playing 'Let's Make a Deal, when they asked he if she wanted to trade the jersey for what was in the playmate's box.
Yeah, perhaps she already had tickets for Friday's game...
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
Maybe she already had tickets. Since I do, I probably would have taken the jersey myself. Depends on how much you value a jersey, too, I suppose.
The updates for Rose are much clearer and official. We get Granger news during the FSIN broadcast. Makes me nervous...

@AschNBA: @MikeWellsNBA So Derrick Rose is ahead of Danny Granger? Rose is practicing now, Thibs divulged.
Few things feel better than blowing out Detroit...God I hate the Pistons...as well as their fanbase.

After some false starts and a childhood as an undiagnosed dyslexic and "king of negative thinking" Winkler earned a bachelors degree from Emerson College and a masters degree from the Yale School of Drama. Then he moved to California, where he landed a part as a tube of toothpaste in a commercial, then guest roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Bob Newhart Show. In 1973 Winkler received the biggest break of his career when he was cast as Arthur Fonzarelli on what would become one of the most successful shows in television history. He has since acted in several movies, gained a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and become a director, producer, and activist whose work has been honored with numerous awards, including the United Nations Peace Prize and the BNai Brith Champion of Youth Award.
Winkler shared some of his wisdom with the class of 2000 during the Colleges 105th Commencement on May 13. "I stand before you being mostly who I want to be, and I say mostly because it is astounding to me how ongoing the process is," Winkler told the 1,325 graduates and their guests at the somewhat shortened (rain threatened, but didnt materialize) ceremony at Butterfield Stadium. "Unless [you] align [yourself] mentally, physically, and spiritually, then becoming who you want to be is almost unobtainable."
Winkler reminded the graduates that the process of self-discovery evolves slowly and lasts a lifetime. "Every one of you has a greatness inside of you," he said. "It is your job to dig down deep, find out what it is, and then give it to the world as a gift."
The ceremony began with chairman of the board of trustees Herman E. Muller Jr. 51 welcoming the new graduates to the fold of Ithaca alumni. Senior class president John Walsh (below right) gave a rousing talk filled with memories of his and his classmates four years at Ithaca as well as some cautions. "Striving for knowledge and perfection is admirable," he said, "but have the courage to maintain your personal identity. Put your emphasis on the qualities that define our individual personalities and contribute to our harmonious diversity." Walsh and class treasurer Alex Walton then presented President Peggy Ryan Williams with the class gift of $8,580.
President Williams spoke of the inscription on the traditional graduates medallions. This years medallions bore a quote by American novelist Edith Wharton: "There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."
"Each of you has lived this quotation here at Ithaca College," Williams said. "Through your character and your actions, you have shaped the nature of this College in your various roles as leaders in some dimensions of your life here and as mirrors or informed followers in other dimensions of your College experience. In all of these, each of you has discovered and shared your voice, your gifts, and your passions.
"Ithaca College has been the place to practice being the candle and the mirror a place to learn the difference between these important roles as well as a place to learn which role suits you better in any given situation. Whether it be the candle or the mirror, each role has an effect on the whole community."

Sandoval OK after pitch hits right wrist
SAN FRANCISCO -- No fractures were found on the right wrist of Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who underwent X-rays after being struck by a Paul Maholm pitch during the fifth inning of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves.
"He's going to be a little sore," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said, who rushed onto the field with head athletic trainer Dave Groeschner to tend to Sandoval. "I'll check him out [Sunday] and see if he's available. I'm a little concerned, obviously, when you get hit there."
Sandoval remained in the game but left as part of a double-switch after grounding out in the seventh inning. Following San Francisco's 10-1 victory over Atlanta, Sandoval told Spanish-speaking reporter Manolo Hernandez-Douen that he felt fine.
Sandoval, who missed 99 games in the previous two seasons, has appeared in 36 of San Francisco's 37 games so far. He's batting .375 (21-for-56) with two home runs and seven RBIs in his last 14 games, hiking his overall average to .315.

PARENTS of asthma sufferers in North Yorkshire are urged to make sure their children take their medication during the summer holidays.
Hospital admissions for asthma-related illness can increase in summer as children forget to take their preventer inhalers during the long school break.
Dr Paul Twomey, medical director for North Yorkshire and the Humber at NHS England, said: "Children with asthma may be more likely to forget use their preventative inhaler when they are out of their school routine and may therefore be more likely to fall ill when they return to the classroom in September. They're also more likely to need treatment for their asthma in September than at any other time."
"It is important that children use their preventative medication properly during the school holidays. This will help to keep them well and to cope with common infections when they return to school or nursery in September."
For more information, parents are advised to talk to their pharmacist, GP, asthma nurse or paediatrician, phone NHS 111, or go to asthma.org.uk

MORE REAL DEAL: Friday at Real Deal
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- Saturday at the Real Deal in the Rock provided another day of big outings. The day was highlighted by an overtime win for the Atlanta Celtics over the Compton Magic to close out pool play as guys like Shaq Goodwin, Isaiah Austin and Gabe York were all playing at a high level during the Celtics 80-78 win. There was no shortage of guys looking to join in on the fun and sophomore Chris Walker exploded.
Saturday's top performers
Chris Walker, PF, ATL Xpress- Usually we would wait until a rankings update to boost a prospect's star-rating, but the 6-foot-9 sophomore deserves an immediate move to five-star status. From a physical standpoint the long and lean greyhound of an athlete has everything that you would want in a prospect. An effortless athlete, Walker also has good hands, some scoring tools and blocks a lot of shots. When he adds strength and refines his footwork, it will be curtains.
Robert Carter, PF, ATL Xpress- The 6-foot-8 junior played up to his four-star status during a playoff win. There's still some baby fat that he's losing, but he can really run the floor and is a load when he decides to be active around the rim. His hands are good, his touch is soft and he's got some crafty scoring moves in his arsenal.
Shaq Goodwin, PF, Atlanta Celtics- Goodwin picked up right where he left off last weekend in Hampton. Back with his usual team, the 6-foot-8 forward was running the floor for dunks, exploiting his quickness around the rim and playing with a little more purpose on the glass.
Solomon Poole, PG, Atlanta Celtics- The 2013 five-star just recently moved up to the Celtics older team, so he's still adjusting. However, he's a blur in the open floor and ridiculously explosive leaper near the rim. While not a natural point guard, at about 6-foot-1 that's the position at which he projects down the road. Didn't shoot the ball from deep like he usually does, but was still very solid and played some of the best on-the-ball defense we've seen in a summer game in quite some time.
Isaiah Austin, PF, Compton Magic- Against the Atlanta Celtics, Austin came out inspired and with determination to play in attack mode. The Baylor commitment is still thin, but he is getting stronger and looked to play with much more physicality than in the past. Didn't always finish offensively, but he makes up for it as the last line of defense around the rim where he swats shots.
Jarnell Stokes, PF, YOMCA- Matched up against fellow five-star prospect Grant Jerrett, the 6-foot-7 Stokes struggled early with the Arizona commitment's length. However, it didn't take long for Stokes to go to his power game and become unstoppable near the rim. His free throw line jumper was working and the motor was running high. In an era where guys know all about their opponents, Stokes is a throwback who doesn't know anything about the guy in front of him and doesn't care because it's not going to change his approach.
Gabe York, SG/PG, Compton Magic- There aren't many scorers in the class of 2012 who can hang with York when it comes to efficiency. Alert with or without the ball, he doesn't dance once he gets the rock in his hands and attacks defenders with purpose. He shoots with deep range and if he can gather his feet a bit, will dunk on just about anybody in the build. He is pretty smallish for a two, but it's not out of the realm of possibility for him to end up a point guard in college because of his solid handle and willingness to pass.
Ricardo Gathers, PF, Brandon Bass Elite- Simply put, Gathers is built like a full grown man and he does full grown man things on the floor. A beastly interior player who has a nose for the ball, a will to score and a need to play with physicality, he tests the manhood of his opponents. A strong transition finisher, he's improving as a spot up jump shooter. Listed St. John's, Connecticut, Syracuse, Texas, Kansas, California and LSU.
Grant Jerrett, PF, Belmont Shore- Although Jarnell Stokes got the better of him, the 6-foot-8 Arizona commit didn't exactly play bad. A lack of strength remains an issue that will need to be addressed before he arrives in the Pac-10, but he's very skilled facing the hoop, has soft touch and is a developing back to the basket scorer. Plays much bigger than his size because of very high shoulders and excellent length.
Sam Craft, PG, YOMCA- The sophomore isn't the biggest kid in the world, but few can match his heart and will to win. A true floor general who gets his teammates where they need to be, he's the kind of guy who imposes his will on his teammates.
Stanley Johnson, SF, Belmont Shore- Friday night, we got a look at one of Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei's impressive freshman, Shaqquan Aaron. Saturday, it was Johnson's turn to impress as a freshman playing up on the 17 and under level. A big time athlete and finisher around the rim, he's a transition attacker who also crashes the glass.
Carlos Morris, SG/SF, Dwight Howard Warriors- When we last saw him during the winter, Morris looked like a kid with high major potential. After watching him again we so no reason to change our opinion. A sleek athlete with long arms, Morris does most of his damage via a very dangerous pull-up jumper that is good out to beyond the three point line. Morris listed Providence, Cincinnati, Miami, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Seton Hall and Missouri among those he's been in contact with.
Kaleb Tarczewski, C, New England Playaz- While it would have been nice to see the seven footer get more touches on the offensive end, there's no beef with his play. Considerably stronger than in the winter, he owned the paint, secured rebounds and served as somebody who makes opponents think twice at the rim.
Andre Drummond, C, CBC- Because he's so talented, Drummond will get judged differently than his peers. That's a good thing because it means that he's a player and he had a pretty good effort during an afternoon win. Ran the floor, controlled the glass and scored some off of high post dribble drives. A baseline spin move is his bread and butter move and there's nobody who is stopping it.
Alex Poythress, PF/SF, Georgia Stars- The question was whether or not he would replicate his efforts from Hampton and he answered it convincingly. The 6-foot-8 combo forward ran out for dunks, hit corner threes and was very active on the glass during a first round playoff win.
More news and notables from Little Rock
Kordario Fleming came off the bench and had an outstanding morning for YOMCA. A 6-foot-6 junior forward from Memphis (Tenn.) Ridgeway, Fleming is a lengthy kid who can hit the glass and knock down baseline jumpers. … If Ian Baker plays out the summer like he's started the spring, then the sturdy six-foot point guard from Jacksonville (Fla.) Arlington Country Day is going to find more high majors sniffing around. The demand for 2012 point guards far exceeds the supply at this point but Baker is on the verge of stepping up to help and fill the void. Plays under control, scores at the rim and can slide off the ball and make some jumpers. Playing in Little Rock with the Dwight Howard Warriors he listed Providence, Boston College, Central Florida, Seton Hall, East Carolina among others. … Our first look at Jarrell Martin of Brandon Bass Elite was a bit of a mixed bag. A long, slender 6-foot-7 combo forward from Baton Rouge (La.) Madison Prep, Martin is a sophomore who shows promise. He runs the floor, dunks anything he can around the rim and is a pretty good spot-up shooter to the three point stripe. Not sure whether he's more of a face-up four or a guy with legitimate wing potential, but he looks like a guy that should be on high major watch lists. …
From a straight up athletic standpoint, there aren't many who can come close to touching Nino Jackson. Not only is the 6-foot-2 Ardmore (Okla.) High product blazing fast from end to end, he has super lateral quickness, long arms and is explosive at the rim. Struggled with to's early, but was very good for the Compton Magic during the second half and overtime. ... Marcus Hunt of the Georgia Stars is a physical 6-foot-5 wing scorer. The junior shot it very well and used his powerful shoulders to go through defenders at the rim and finish while getting fouled. He rattled off a list that included Alabama, Miami, Florida State, Nebraska, Missouri, Louisville, Georgia Tech, Georgia and Georgia State. … 6-foot-6 lefty wing Calvin Hermanson of the Portland based Clutch Players is a nice prospect. Although his shot is a bit unorthodox, he hits it with regularity from deep and the Lake Oswego (Ore.) High product is a competitor as well. … Duke bound Alex Murphy was effective during an evening playoff game. A long and angular wing, he's at his best on the baseline as a transition finisher and slasher. He's lengthy, a pretty good ball handler and his ambidextrous finishing is a major plus. … Finally, we are looking forward to seeing more of 6-foot-3 class of 2012 combo guard Eric Robinson of the ATL Xpress. A fine shooter with good range, he can also create a bit off the dribble and is a fine athlete. …

In the last few months Seattle has taken the plunge toward the fresh-pressed fashion, with star restaurateur Tom Douglas and farmers' market entrepreneur Kari Brunson of Juicebox each stepping up to join the juicing scene, pouring vivid drinks alongside longstanding health-focused juice bars around the city.
As Seattle's exceedingly beautiful summer fades into what can be known around the office as "sick season," most people are scrambling to find ways to fend off whatever the kid brought home from daycare, and a visit to the juice bar may be just the ticket. The scientific jury is still out on the effectiveness of the drink, but if immunity-boosters taste like Thrive's Northern Lights, there's no reason not to give 'em a try.
Here's our guide to the best drinks in town to get a taste of the season, a few servings of your five-a-day, and possibly fight off that nasty bug that's going around.
The V6 ($6) with Daikon at Assembly Hall
There are not too many juice bars where you can also order up bacon fried rice, but if anyone in Seattle knows how to give people what they want, it's Tom Douglas, whose 14 restaurants are perennial favorites. At his brand-new juice bar, the V6 is a deep burgundy reminder that fall is here, with beets and purple cabbage lending their hues and flavors, alongside spinach, celery, and carrot. The kicker comes with the final option: fennel for sweetness, or daikon (pictured here) for spiciness, which gives it a "wake-up!" zing.
Assembly Hall: 2121 6th Avenue, Seattle WA 98121 (map) 206-812-8413; assemblyhallseattle.com
The Pure Bliss ($6.95) from Chaco Canyon Cafe
Pure Bliss is an egotistical name for a juice, but this one does have an ethereal foam on top and a fruity scent reminiscent of olive oil. It's pretty blissful. Pineapple is the star ingredient, but apple, wheatgrass, spinach, and mint provide balance to both the acid and sweetness of pineapple, giving the juice more heft and savory depth than most.
Chaco Canyon Organic Cafe: 3770 Southwest Alaska Street, Seattle WA 98126 (map) 206-937-8732; chacocanyoncafe.com
The Cold Buster ($6) from Healeo
The four-year-old organic superfood shop and café isn't new to the juicing game—years of knowledge have honed the Cold Buster. The drink glows with flavor—and traffic-cone-orange color. The clean, modern shop does not skimp on the cayenne sprinkled on top of the juice, and the heat plays remarkably against the sweetness of this season's carrots. Ginger draws the line from the heat to the sweet, while the advertised garlic was, thankfully, nearly imperceptible—though surely helping keep those colds away.
Healeo: 1520 15th Avenue, Seattle WA 98122 (map) 206-453-5066; healeo.com
Yam Juice ($6) from Juicebox at La Bete
Yams are more likely to bring to mind upcoming Thanksgiving dinners than brunch juices but Juicebox, squeezing fruits and vegetables at La Bête on weekend mornings, changes that association. The calm of the tuber is lit on fire by the heat of fresh ginger, which dominates the drink. Carrot and cinnamon are barely perceptible, providing background for the ginger star of the show. Juicebox, which started at Sunday morning farmers' markets and grew to its current restaurant-within-a-restaurant state, is opening its own brick-and-mortar space this fall.
Juicebox at La Bete: 1802 Bellevue Avenue, Seattle WA 98122 (map) 206-607-7866; juiceboxseattle.com
The Northern Lights ($7) from Thrive
This juice from Thrive is a cilantro revelation. Paired with crisp juice of apples, the herb carries on the sweet tones. Lime, ginger, and basil play supporting roles in the juice, which is vaguely reminiscent of what Thai papaya salad might be like if it were a dessert: bright, herbaceous, and emanating freshness.
Thrive: 1026 Northeast 65th Street, Seattle WA 98115 (map) 206-525-0300; generationthrive.com

Campaign starts to help with Ruth & Naomi's expansion
Chilliwack's most needy can now get a free haircut, a refreshing shower and a chance to do a load of laundry in downtown Chilliwack.
It's all part of the new daytime programs at Ruth & Naomi's Mission, which have been up and running since the beginning of November.
Expanded services are now being made available since getting settled in their new two-storey building on Margaret Avenue, said Bill Raddatz, executive director at Ruth & Naomi's.
The local faith-based mission is currently launching its annual fundraising campaign, in the hopes that the larger community will see fit to offer affirmation of their work in the form of generous financial donations.
"With our new building double the size, it's meant double the programs and double the cost."
They've set a fundraising target goal of $50,000 for this campaign.
"The theme is, 'Help us to help others' and that's been our main message," said Raddatz.
That dovetails with the mission's tagline: "Our people. Our Community. Our Opportunity."
"Most of our donations to date have come from the faith community but we want to reach out with this effort, going beyond that and see ownership taken as well by the community at large."
In terms of the new daytime activities, the new Refresh and Replenish program is held four mornings a week where hampers or clothing are handed out, and there's a chance for street people to freshen up or do laundry.
There are services for women only starting at 1 p.m. on those four days, with tea, games, crafts and more, then a general drop-in from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. for socializing and refreshments.
Dinner and devotions are between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. and the emergency shelter service runs from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., which is part of the "step in" programming.
Nightly they average about eight men guests, to three women in the shelter.
The "step-up" program on the second floor offers supportive housing for up to 24 months to help the homeless and addicted men get off the streets and reclaim their lives with the help of counselling.
"We try to get their confidence back up so they can eventually find their way," said Raddatz.
They have eight residents currently in the supportive housing program, but have room for more.
"We know we're changing people's lives. We just need some help."
The mission provides more than 65,000 meals every year.
All gifts over $20 are income tax deductible.

This commentary originally appeared at 8:44 a.m. EST on Nov. 9 on Real Money Pro -- for access to all of legendary hedge fund manager Doug Kass's strategies and commentaries, click here.
Similar to many, I historically (let's call it over the last five years) failed to recognize how successful a Steve Jobs-led Apple (AAPL) would be as a disruptive innovator of product.
In my "15 Surprises for 2012" (written eleven months ago), however, I waxed enthusiastically about the prospects for the profit cycle and share price for Apple. (At that time Apple's shares stood at $403.)
Again, in July 2012, I told a positive tale of Apple's long-term prospects.
Nonetheless, when the shares hit $700 in late September, I turned cautious in "The Bear Case for Apple."
My concerns were multiple and the major risks (most of which I thought would play out over a few years, not a few quarters) were as follows:
- Global economic weakness in 2013 would likely have an adverse impact on Apple's relatively high-priced stable of products.
- Challenges of delivering a high-quality product in quantity.
- The risks associated with the loss of Steve Jobs were being underestimated by the markets.
- Investors may look beyond the recent new product offerings. The steady stream of "wow factor" products in the company's pipeline may be in jeopardy following the release of the iPhone 5 and of iPad mini.
- A changing competitive landscape could be a challenge to the company's market share and profitability.
- Apple's shares were overowned and were the beneficiary of fund flows. The almost religious belief in the company (on the part of individual and institutional investors) represented an extreme in investor sentiment.
- Apple's valuation, though inexpensive relative to the market and its projected growth rate, was very expensive (on a price-to-sales basis) relative to other hardware companies and on an absolute sales basis.
Ten days later, in "More Bruises on Apple," I raised additional concerns. I again asked whether there was anyone left that doesn't own Apple's shares at this point in time and how many money managers (in part because of the weighting in the indices) are now overweight in the stock, particularly after the aforementioned period of outperformance.
Later in October, I underscored why the easy compares and salad days were likely behind this iconic company and that risk/reward seemed uninspiring with the shares being range-bound (and with a lower end of the range at about $550 a share). I concluded that there are now blemishes and bruises on the world's favorite fruit. Specifically, there were early signs of Apple losing its first-mover advantage (and the elevated gross margins previously achieved). I further suggested that investors now must closely watch whether the company's upgrade cycle is lengthening because of a less-differentiated product, they must monitor the ability to deliver a large amount quality product with limited flaws (e.g., apps such as Maps, scratching, Siri, weight/feel, etc.), and they must closely track cost and margin trends and, of course, the competition.
Since I expressed my initial concerns in late September, Apple's shares have fallen by $165.
The shares now stand at $536, and I am buying.
Now let me explain why I have just purchased shares in Apple (my answers correspond to the list of concerns listed at the beginning of this column):
- As I have expressed in my writings over the past few weeks, I am now less concerned about a global economic slowdown than most.
- Investors are no longer smug and have grown increasingly (and arguably fully) aware of the challenges of the delivery of current and future new products.
- Apple's shares are no longer the beneficiary of fund flows -- just the opposite has been occurring, which has materially pressured the shares down to attractive levels.
- At $700, Mr. Market was likely imputing a 2013 new "wow" product (Apple TV?). At current prices, the next "wow" product has been discounted away, and the company's completely refreshed product line (no mean feat in such a short time frame, and if supply comes in line, CEO Tim Cook's main goal for 2013) should be plenty enough new stuff to once again propel earnings throughout 2013. Also, here is a link to AppleInsider, which hints about a possible new product associated with the automotive industry.
- At $536 a share, a discounted dividend model implies that the future growth rate in profits at Apple will be only about 5%. This is too low -- Apple's share price decline has likely now overly discounted most (if not all) of my concerns.

New American Shame
New American Shame was put together in Seattle by founder/guitarist Jimmy Paulson (who had previously worked with the Lemons) and vocalist Johnny Reidt (often credited as the one-named Johnny) in 1998. Bassist Kelly Wheeler, drummer Jack Stringham, and second guitarist Terry Bratsch were soon slotted into the group's lineup. Almost immediately, New American Shame began making a name for themselves with their powerful live performances. After building up a small but rabid fan base, the band entered the studio to record their self-titled debut for Will Records. Produced by Paulson, New American Shame was also given a solid hard rock studio treatment by engineer and Seaweed guitarist Clint Werner and mixer Brett Eliason, whose services also appear on recordings from fellow Seattle artists Pearl Jam and Mad Season, Screaming Trees, and at least honorary Northwestern rocker Neil Young. Unlike grungier sounds still emanating from the Emerald City in the late '90s, New American Shame recalls more energetic '70s hard rock. Instead of using a Black Sabbath/Jimi Hendrix mold to shape a sprawling sludge, the Paulson-led outfit recalled the pulsing rock of early AC/DC with its smart-mouthed musical independence and grimy hard rock/metal truthfulness. Always a refreshing tact, such devotion to wide open power-chording is generally appreciated for its emotional simplicity and timelessness. This was indeed the case for New American Shame as the group was quickly given a major-label opportunity to spread their noisy message of stripped-down rock salvation. Around this time, Stringham left the group and Geoff Reading formerly of Green Apple Quickstep joined. After the 1999 release of their debut, the band signed with Atlantic Records, who decided to basically re-release the Will debut with some minor track and sonic adjustments. The revamped record was also released later in 1999, along with the first single "Under It All" as the album's lead-off track. While indeed a strong song, "Under it All" under-performed at rock and alternative radio stations and New American Shame failed to build enough of a national fan or sales base for the record to really take off. The group toured the States and even Japan in support of their album. With Johnny's screeching, reckless voice, and Paulson's ringing guitar tones, listeners get the feeling that it's not really success, rather recklessness and liberation, that concern New American Shame. In this respect -- expressing something central and significant about loud rock music -- it's hard to consider the group anything but a pre-eminent '90s throwback to a feeling, if not a total sound, that existed about and around hard music at a time when it was still subversive and valuable. ~ Vincent Jeffries

NEW YORK (CNN) A group of rabbis face kidnapping charges after allegedly arranging assaults of Orthodox Jewish husbands to persuade them to grant divorces to their wives, authorities said Thursday.
FBI raids on Wednesday night led to the arrest of three rabbis who were arraigned in federal court in New Jersey Thursday, according to court documents.
A criminal complaint alleges that the rabbis charged Jewish wives tens of thousands of dollars to orchestrate kidnappings and accepted $20,000 for such an operation from undercover FBI agents.
Their goal? To obtain "gets," a document that Jewish law requires a husband to present to his wife in order to be issued a divorce, the complaint says.
In one conversation with undercover FBI agents, the complaint alleges, Rabbi Mendel Epstein talked about forcing the divorces with the help of hired "tough guys," who he said used plastic bags to cover the husbands' heads and electric cattle prods and karate to assault them.

"We think that right now there doesn't exist anyone that can be a single point of contact for small businesses to obtain—or to even be aware of— technology solutions that can improve their business," Tom Healy said. Healy said Best Buy will use its so-called "Geek Squad agents" to sell technology to small businesses. Best Buy's 12,000 "Geek Squad" employees offer technology assistance, such as making house calls, to help customers set up new computers. The retailer plans to hire roughly 600 new Geek employees this year.

Uplay members will be granted "privilege access" to Far Cry 3's upcoming multiplayer beta, Ubisoft has revealed.
Speaking to VideoGamer.com yesterday during Ubisoft's Digital Days 2012 event, Uplay's brand development manager Alexandra Andrieux revealed that "there are programs for our Uplay members to have privilege access to the [Far Cry 3] beta when the game launches.
"In the American territories... they have the ability to participate in the beta because we know that they are a Uplay member and we put them first."
Access to the beta was previously only guaranteed to North American customers who pre-ordered Ghost Recon: Future Soldier at GameStop.
It's not yet known whether European Uplay members will also be granted automatic access to the beta, or how access to the beta will be managed.
In August, Ubisoft teased that European users "will have the chance to receive a code [granting access to the beta] as we get closer to the beta".
Far Cry 3's multiplayer beta was first announced back in May. It had been due to run on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 over the summer.
It still hasn't launched, presumably as a result of the game being delayed to November.
Uplay is Ubisoft's online service that allows users to track their stats and compare in-game achievements with friends. You can sign up for the service here or on your console through a Ubisoft title.

...bringing up how much it sucks that we lost Brad Miller.
You know, I'm starting to miss him a bit myself... but he's gone, he's not coming back, and IMO this constant harping over Brad Miller (it seems like every other day there's still a post *****ing about the trade, crying about how much it sucks that we lost him, etc.) is really getting old. He only played for this team for a year and a half and he got traded like six months ago.
To put it in perspective: I broke up with my fiancee last June, a girl I had been dating and living with for almost three years, and as bad as that sucks I bring her up a hell of a lot less often than some of you folks are bringing up Brad Miller.
Yes, it's obvious that we could have used him this year. Yes, he's playing awful well in Sacramento. Yes, he's an all-star again. But he's not Reggie Miller (a career Pacer); he's not even Dale Davis or Mark Jackson (guys who played here during the peak of their careers). He was here for a season and a half, played pretty well for us (most of the time), and now he's gone and probably never coming back. Get over it already. If you want to talk about us needing help at the 5 spot, let's talk about realistic solutions and possibilities instead of crying and *****ing over spilled milk.
IMO this constant harping is really an insult to the current team and their success. There's not even any guarantee that the team would be doing this well if he were still here, so why keep picking at an old scab?
When all-star announcements are made, I'd like to hear about the guys on OUR team that made it. When we lose a game and start talking about needing help I'd like to talk about REAL possibilities to get help. And when people want to reminisce about Brad, ***** about Donnie's mistakes/stupidity or moan about how well Brad is doing in Sac-town now, I'd like to see it in the Brad Miller thread so that I can make sure and avoid getting involved in that discussion, rather than watch thread after thread get hijacked with this stuff.
Because honestly, folks, this is getting old.

Climbed Dreamweaver up to the escape behind the Flying Buttress on April 28. High winds and some some during the 26th, 27th, and 28th have left lots of unconsolidated snow behind. We were postholing to depths of 1 to 2 ft with sections of pure wading. The steeper narrow sections were also unconsolidated snow w/ lots of (loose) rock exposed. Expect falling rock if following another party up this route.
On the descent we got a good look at Dark Star. It looked to fairly full of snow, but appears to be unconsolidated. The gully leading up to Dark Star was unconsolidated snow.
The Right Chimney has no snow in it.
Talked to fellow who climbed Lamb's Slide on Apr 28. He also found unconsolidated snow, but the postholing was not as bad on on Dreamweaver.
Basically, we found winterlike conditions up there. The new snow will require a couple of freeze/thaw cycles to firm up.
There are a couple of small water ice smears coming off the Broadway and there is still water ice in Peacock Falls. We saw no water ice in Dreamweaver or Dark Star. My guess is that the chances of any real water ice forming in any of these routes is very slim. I hope I am wrong.

|Climbed Dreamweaver on May 5th but have been procrastinating. We encountered packed snow conditions and were punching in about to our ankles through most of the route. Overall, it was a spectacular route but lacked any true ice. There were a few short sections of rock along the way where you are forced to pull over some short steps.

|Went to Long's Peak yesterday (5/18) beautiful day, sun til late afternoon, w/ light winds. We went up Lamb's Slide, w/ the intent for Broadway to Kiener's. Snow was good up Lamb's, good steps in ankle deep consild. At Broadway cut off we saw 2 parties of 2 turning back from the [roadway traverse due to bad snow condit. We went up Lamb's a bit more and found deeper unconsild. Snow, punching through to the gray alpine ice below. (Unconsild. snow was 10+" deep) the reports from other climbers bailing said Broadway was the same way. one last note... we watched BIG slides come off Kiener's (every 10 min...) and shoot over Broadway to Mill's. Pretty much did this the whole time in sun. Cory Fleagle, Boulder Co

Climbed it Friday, April 11, 2003. No ice present - all snow which made it harder, but not impossible. It was a fun climb. There was no avalanche danger, most snow was pretty well packed. The gully was a little powdery. This was the first time I climbed in the area and didn't research the descent well and that was a mistake. Do your homework.

Climbed Dreamweaver on Friday. All snow conditions. Did not use crampons, ropes or pro. Three Chimneys of rock were the only real challenges, but very climbable. The weather was very warm up there all of last week through the past weekend meaning conditions will change quickly. I expect to see some alpine ice forming in the next two weeks.

Dreamweaver this past Friday and it was a complete snow climb except for three short rock chimneys. We did not use crampons, ropes or pro and it took about 3.5 hours to summit from our tent in the Meeker Cirque. Upon our hike out Saturday afternoon we noticed that the snow pack was diminishing greatly above treeline. My impression was that avalanche danger is not too bad as long as you are off the steep angles by mid-afternoon. Alpine Ice should start forming if the sunny, dry days persist. I imagine Dark Star was mostly snow as well. The Loft was nice and the rock band was downclimbable without a rope. That may change soon as the snow melts.

Did this route on 5/24. Great snow conditions except for a few rock steps - one in the lower part and a couple in the upper section. No rope, no pro - just perfect snow conditions and many thanks to the parties in front of us for the steps! We counted three other parties (or 8 others) ahead of our group of three. We summited around 11:45AM.-
Watch the decent if you come off the Loft via. the normal ledges. The snow was turning to mashed potatoes at that point and made for an "interesting" downclimb. In hindsight, we felt a short rappel would have been a better option to get to a little safer position on the ledge. An earlier start may have helped too. We left the TH at around 4:45AM.
I'll try and post some pics soon.
Great climb!Mike

We did Dream Weaver on 6/8/03.
We started fairly early and found hard packed snow most of the way.
There is a small rock step at the beginning of the lower section and a 30 ft rock step before the notch where the Flying Buttress ends. No chimney yet, although a deep hole on the upper step signalled that it will be appearing soon.
The upper section also had two rock steps. At the beginning and at the end of the "ribbon". They were both small.
There was a little ice on the rock steps but nothing to get too excited about .
We found the need to put on our crampons early due to the hard snow conditions but only used one ice axe. We belayed a couple of the steps with rock gear although they proved to be easier than they looked (5.0-5.2?).
We summited by 9am and found the snow was rapidly turning into slush. It was a wet ride down the [Loft]. We saw at least 6 parties on the climb including ours. Some folks we starting up it at 11am!
Fun climb.
Cheers, WT

|Climbed it on 6-14. Snow was soft in many places, icy in a few. Put on crampons about 2/3 of the way up. (Was on the route from roughly 6:30 to 10:30.) Found about four small rock steps that were not too hard, but I found a second tool helpful on a couple of them. the main "ledge" area of the loft decent was very wet, loose and snowy. It seemed sketchy to me so we belayed a traverse of maybe 100 feet.

|Lots of folks on Dreamweaver today. Counted at least 10. Snow was hard enough to need crampons from the bottom of the first snow field. Mostly it is a snow climb with ice on the couple of rock steps. Overall, it is in very good shape for climbing. Good steps are kicked in all the way up. Was on the summit by 8:30 AM. The snow on the Loft was pretty soft, but made for a very good butt slide. Use the ramp on the right side of the Loft to get down. Look for cairns.

|Dan - I just saw your comment today, so this maybe to late to be of use. By now, this route will defintely be a lot of rock in the lower section and very icy up high. In the end of June, there was already a tricky spot where we had to dry tool up about 15 feet of rock.
By James Balasalle
Jul 16, 2003
This is a great climb. Climbed it on 6/23/03, and conditions were great. Good snow down low, and ice up high. We roped up for almost the whole climb, so it took us a while. Although, we simul-climbed a decent amount above the Flying Buttress. Which, was where I felt the crux was.
Also, I felt this was a great first alpine/ice lead (it was for me). I was able to protect the whole thing with rock gear. I felt pretty secure, most of the way up. It was a little insecure up higher were there was ice, but the pro was good, it's not too steep, and the conditions were great. I took 2 short, technical tools, but I only used 1.
Phenomenal route.

|The Neptune employee actually finished the route and said it was a nightmare of loose snow and not a lick of ice.

|I did that route a few years ago in similar condition at the same time of the year - pure dry tooling and some open hand climbing the whole way, save for a 20 foot section of thin ice in the back of a chimney at one point. The outrage was that the chinmey was too narrow and I couldn't get to the ice! So I ended up dry tooling even that section. It was perhaps more interesting and challenging as a result. The point is - if you go up there expecting it to be a dry tool fest, it can be enjoyable. But if you go expecting a snow/ice climb then, yes, you will be dissappointed. Wait for spring to do Dreamweaver if you don't want to do any rock climbing on it.

12/6/03: Lower part of route has good snow for kicking steps and front pointing. There is very little ice anywhere on the route. Crampons and axes are still necessary for grapling with the frozen dirt and snow covered rock. All the difficulties consist of constrictions in the gully and overcoming chockstones of various dimensions and position. All 7 constrictions, I think 4 on the lower section of the route and 3 on the upper section, protect well with stoppers, and are mostly overcome with 2-3 moves up to 5.4 difficulty. Rack up with a full set of stoppers.
After exiting the upper section, continue straight up towards Meeker's summit and then break to the North. If you break North too soon you'll end up on slabs that want to spit you off the hill.
The route is longer than it appears. I'd say a classic due to the magnificent vistas of Meeker, The Flying Buttress and Longs as well as the not difficult, but at times puzzling cruxes.

Did Dreamweaver on 5/8/04. The couloir is all snow and rock, virtually no ice. We came with a light rack and rope, but they never left the packs. I would expect that this may change quickly as the snow seemed to be disappearing before our eyes. But for now the route is in great M2+ conditions.
The descent is also more straightforward than it appears. Head for the apparent weakness between the cliffs below the loft and the cliffs below the summit of Meeker. Keep your eyes peeled for the cairns that guide you to the ledge that traverses the cliffband. This is key to a straightforward descent. Once below the ledge/cliffband, you can walk on snow all the way to the goblin forest tent sites. If you start early, I would recommend avoiding the temptation to carry snowshoes. We left the parking lot at 2:20, started the couloir at 5:30, summited at 8, and were back at the trailhead at noon. All snow was still solid, but starting to get cruddy. If you start later, the snowshoes may be more useful, but why start later?

|My friend Aaron invited me to climb the route July 5, 2004. We got to the route about an hour after sunrise. The snow was a little soft on the easy slope before the colouir narrows and obligates you to drytool up some rock. It must not be getting cold enough at night to freeze layers deeper than a few inches. In any case, there is very little real ice on the climb currently. Some ice exists atop a few of the stepped runs, while there will be snow at the bottom. The route might be better done with one long mountain axe to give you a self snow belay with the shaft plunged as you climb. Granular snowfall peppered us in the early afternoon, which seems to be this month's weather pattern.

|Holy Crap!! What an awesome route!! Did it today as my first mountaineering route. Took us 15 hours car to car, which might be slow to some, but it was excellent. The route is covered in snow, sometimes up to knee/thigh height. The snow is good quality and not too avalanche prone yet. Not much ice in, only 1 pitch had some ice, but it was good! Snowed off and on, but didn't accumulate. Descent is tricky, but just look for the 1st of two ledge systems. on the face connecting Meeker and The Loft. This is the one that connects to The Loft. Don't go all the way to the cliffs like we did!

Tim Barton and I had a go at Dreamweaver on Saturday; either we missed the window of ideal conditions or folks have been overly enthusiastic in their reports over the last week or so!
We only saw about 30-40' of ice on the entire route, the rest was more of a snow slog with dry tooling at the steep sections. Avy conditions still seemed stable but the snow was thigh-deep in most of the couloir.
Darkstar and the Notch Couloir appeared to be in about the same shape as Dreamweaver but we didn't get great looks at them.

|Climbed Dreamweaver on Wednesday, 8 June 2005. Snow conditions were great. We had some worries about the avalache conditions but it proved to be negligible.Very little rock fall on the route in very high winds. There had been a slide from the Loft but It was very stable when we descended it. What are called the first and third cruxs were solid AI2 ice the second crux was melted and we climbed the rocks to the right. If you plan on protecting the route bring short screws and rock gear. On the descent the cairns were confusing continue to your left and descend the Loft.

Did Dreamweaver/Mt Meeker yesterday 12/28/10. Originally I just went there to see if it would be "in" for a climb this weekend but upon closer inspection saw that it was in prime shape. I had been wondering about this route since I moved to Boulder a year ago and even wondered if it would be possible to ski?
With the conditions I had yesterday, I quickly realized it was now or who knows when. The weather was perfect - fairly cold but barely a breeze and blue skies. The first long slope was easy with perfect styrofoam snow. There wasn't a hint of ice in the first choke. The next slope went just as well with minimal but sufficient snow coverage. Past the Buttress, the next slope was steeper but just as good as the first one and the final mixed section was snow covered as well. After topping out and weighing the options, I decided to "give it a go". I played around on the top slopes, zig zagged down the slabs and gingerly down climbed the final mixed section. Once below this, the first "real" steep section was the crux of the descent. Past the Butress and another snow slope presented no problems followed by the lower mixed section which I down climbed as well. From here is was "all good" and I could let 'em run a bit on the main slope which was firm but just right to sink in the edges.
All in all it was pretty sweet and totally unexpected.
Hopefully the weather and conditions will remain favorable - I have a few others in mind.
Cheers 'n' Happy to New Year to all.

We left the TH at 5 am on 06/04/11 and put on crampons around 7:30/8 am to ascend the 600 of snow to the start of the climb. We spotted one two-person party ahead of us. We mainly dry tooled through the first obstacle - a pile of chunky, semi-vertical rocks - before reaching the bench at the top of the Flying Buttress. Above that bench, we hit the routes most technical part a 13-long narrow chute w/ some good dry tool placements w/ crampon smearing on the left wall; we werent roped-up, so my partner built a quick anchor and dropped me a cordellete (for me to have a back-up). The actual 1,500-route went quickly and easily, with decently firm steps and occasionally punching-through to mid-thigh. (The high was 69 degrees in near-by Allenspark.) Around 11:30 am, we left our packs and begin the traverse (on the left side of the ridge) to Meeker. Thats when the day became challenging for me, as that I really needed to trust my crampons on the rock. Then back to our packs for the long traverse across the sloping, dry, huge slabs from the top of DW towards the Loft Descent. That was challenging for me descending with crampons on the rocks - it wasn't very steep, but there were huge cliffs below. Then we took off our crampons and descended the dry boulder fields. We put them back on when we hit the snow and downclimbed the heavy snow, trying to follow the cairns. Once finally down on the snow (Lofts apron where we could glissade), we realized our mistake in the Loft Descent: we overshot the standard ramp (that nicely spits you out on the snow) and ended-up on the incorrect ramp below it, which involved an exposed traverse to grassy ledges - we set-up a handline for that. From there, we backed-up some pitons and rapped to the Lofts apron, barely making it w/ a 50m rope. By then, we were a party of four as that we caught two others. While rapping, a big rock got knocked-off one of the ledges. We were back on Chasm Trail around 5:30 pm and didnt post-hole too much back to the TH (which we sleepily reached before dark), tromping through a brief section (200 or so) of full on, thick mud near the TH. This was my first route in the Long's Peak/Mt. Meeker Cirque, and I loved it.

Climbed yesterday on March 31st, 2012. No ice to be found and very little snow hopeful of forming ice. Climbed it in pitches due to slightly overhanging chockstones (easy).

|Any beta on descent? Also, is the 600 ft wide birth snow gully-esque feature that is your initial approach to the route pretty skiable? Looks like a good time. Thanks!
