Kcal 556 Fat 38.1g Fat(sats) 23.1g Carbs 40.9g (per 100.0g)
'New Product Mondays' have been a common occurrence for us here in May 2011 and the trend doesn't stop today. Kicking us off this week we have a limited edition bar from Thorntons - the Dark Chocolate with Rose. This is the first of three chocolates being released this year to commemorate the '100 years' of Thorntons, with the other two following later on in 2011 (I've tried the other two aswell and boy are they great!!). All three of these chocolates will be being released in the Thorntons Chocolate Blocks Collection and are based on classic British flavours. Whilst I could understand the symbolism of the 'British Rose' I wasn't quite so sure most of us Brits would have Rose as classic flavouring in our food!? I'll let you debate that one.
Like all the limited edition Thorntons Chocolate Blocks this one came in the slightly smaller 80.0g bar form. Although I have questioned the colouring of some of the previous chocolate block flavours in the past, I thought the use of a light pink option was suitable for this particular rose variety. I feel I must also give acknowledgement to the fact that Thorntons have resisted going overboard in the celebrations of their 100 years of trading - the sticker you see on the top right of the box was the only reference aside from the on pack blurb. Inside the box the chocolate was kept in a layer of bright silver foil and was sectioned into the usual block sizes and with the same moulded markings providing decoration. Unsealed, the bar emanated some pleasant cocoa scents with detectable sweeter, fruity hints detectable every so often.
This bar came described as '64% Peruvian dark chocolate with crystallised rose petals' - an interesting and unique concept at least. I don't know if any of you girls or girls remember the last time I tried some flower flavoured chocolates, but it was the Zotter Labooko Ein BlumenstrauB (See HERE) and they turned out to be rather fine. Hoping that this rose chocolate could create a similar impression I went in to the taste test with an open frame of mind and I'm pleased to report that this was an enjoyable chocolate. The 64% dark was of a better than average quality and liked the way the initial cocoa flavours were built upon by tones of red wine and citrus fruits to create a nice edgy flavoured chocolate. The crystallised rose pieces were at times a little infrequent in number, but where present they tempered the sharpness of the chocolate with a fruitiness that had influences of sweet raspberry and cherries. The culmination of these bitter and sweet taste tangents created an interestingly flavoured chocolate, though one can't deny that the chewing of the crystallised rose pieces was an unwelcome textural drawback.
Overall one may question the choice of 'rose' to represent a traditional British food flavouring but we can at least feel solitude in the fact that the actual chocolate delivered was pretty decent. The blend of the dark chocolate and sweet rose influence is a combination that works, and I'm glad that Thorntons were able to create a decent enough synergy with the two. As I said above the only drawback for me was the nature in which the rose was implemented in it's crystalised form. Given that dark chocolate is most pleasantly consumed when left to simply melt on the tongue it might have made better sense to integrate the flavour using some sort of rose flavoured oil. That criticism aside there really isn't anything to dislike here if you are a fan of flavoured dark chocolates. Out of the three bars being released to celebrate the 100 years of Thorntons this might possibly be the weakest, but that is more a reflection of just how grand the other two are - reviews coming soon.

He gave it to me and said, "I know you don't really like flowers, but here." Yes, yes, I admit that I don't really like flowers. It's not that I dislike them. I'm just not big on them. I'd rather that people not spend money on something that's going to die in a few days. And if you give me a plant, I'll just end up killing it within a month. Really. I kill air plants. They just need air! I kill them. Yeah.
But, even though I'm not overly fond of flowers, I love, love, LOVE the thought behind them and that's what counts. So I pinned on my corsage and wore it proudly.
When I got home, I walked in the door to see the table set with a pink tablecloth. Clay had set the table while Savannah made French toast, cheesy eggs, and crescent rolls. How sweet are they? Austin slept the whole time. Five out of six isn't bad, right?
We ended the evening with grilled chicken I sort of, a little bit, burned and a Dairy Queen run to make up for the sort of, little bit, burned chicken and peppers. I went to sleep with a smile on my face because I'm so blessed to be called "Mom" by six awesome kids.
But alas, payback was just around the corner.

"Sure. Do you need help?" Stupid question. Stupid. Yes, of course, they need help! You always go help them in the kitchen. Always. Those two are not to be trusted around any kind of small appliances.

Not quite sure what prompted them to pour soapy water on the plate o' sugar.

Jordan's King Abdullah vowed to make the desert kingdom a "free Internet" country as he began his rule more than a decade ago. On June 2, when local Internet providers were ordered to block hundreds of news websites across the kingdom, Web publishers protested the broken promise and international media watchdog organizations charged censorship.
The protests are getting louder in Amman, as websites go dark across the kingdom, more than 300 in all. Government officials say the new law protects citizens against slander and blackmail on unregulated websites. The controversial new requirements include a government license; a member of Jordan's press council on staff, a group that excludes electronic media journalists; and site owners being responsible for all content, including commentary posted in open discussions.
"The Internet is one of the only places that people have a voice that is outside of the gatekeepers of the government," said Daoud Kuttab, the founder of Amman.net, one of the blocked sites.
'Where Is Independent Media?'
He is a pioneer in Jordan's independent news culture, overseeing an electronic newsroom for more than a decade. He has joined other web publishers in an act of "electronic civil disobedience" by refusing to apply for a license.
"Freedom of the press is something that Jordan and the king are trying to sell to the rest of the world," he says, but points out the country's major newspapers are owned by the government.
The major private newspapers are "owned by businessmen who are totally in bed with the government, so where is independent media?" he asks.
Kuttab charges that the new law is political, targeting online dissent.
The government imposed the new regulations amid rising dissent. The list of complaints includes high-level corruption and a faltering economy as electricity prices are set to rise. Jordan has been on the frontlines of the Syrian conflict, hosting more than a half million refugees, straining the country's meager resources.
The latest protests focus on the U.S. deployment of Patriot missile batteries, a squadron of F-16 fighter jets and more than 700 U.S. military personnel now based in Jordan. The White House described the deployment as protection against violent spillover from the war in Syria. The Web was one place where Jordanians could have a freewheeling discussion, much of it critical of government policy.
The new regulations don't include Internet giants like Google and Facebook. They also don't touch Jordanian bloggers like Nassem Tarawnah. His website, 7iber.com, is a platform for open discussion and debate. He escaped the ban, but joined the protest against a government regulation he believes sets a dangerous precedent.
"There is nothing to say that, a year from now, or two years from now, this is not going to affect a larger segment of the Internet," he says.
We meet in a café where young customers pay for frothy cappuccinos and logon to the Web for free. Jordan leads the region in Internet penetration with more than half the country online. The Facebook generation, more than a million Jordanians are Facebook users, is young, well-educated and Web savvy. They bypass the country's traditional media and read news and commentary online, Tarawnah says. He believes the intricate laws and regulations aim to create a culture of self-censorship.
"It's about pushing the offline culture of fear online," he says.
He's already seen online opinion dry up on his site since the government imposed the block on specific sites.
"It makes it even more difficult and challenging to get average people to say, speak up you can post it, it's safe, because that safety has kind of eroded," he says.
Eroding Press Freedom
Jordan's record on media freedom has been slipping for years, according to Freedom House, a U.S.-based organization that monitors media freedom around the world. The 2013 report card labels Jordan's media "not free" with a lower rating that Egypt, Tunisian and Libya.
But government officials insist the new law protects citizens from dubious journalism. Some sites in Jordan have published damaging allegations about individuals or groups, and then offer to remove the charge for cash. Web editor Kuttab acknowledges there have been online abuses.
"That's true – but that's the price of openness," he says. "You know, and if someone has actually broken the law and blackmailed people, put them in jail. Don't kill all the messengers using a machine gun just to get rid of a fly."
Kuttab has joined a law suit against the government. Other Web publishers have called for a national campaign to break the blackout through technology. Young Jordanians are creating all kinds of software, said Kuttab, to get around the blackouts.
"They are sending it around for free," he said, "people have reacted by trying to beat the system."
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm David Greene.
The nation of Jordan has moved past an important milestone. More than half the population there has the ability to get online. That makes Jordan the Arab world's leader in Internet access, which means many people noticed when the government, earlier this month, began shutting down local news sites. A new law requires official registration, a large fee, even a government-approved editor. Critics say the government, facing a protest movement, is engaging in barely disguised censorship.
Here's NPR's Deborah Amos.
DEBORAH AMOS, BYLINE: The protests are getting louder, as websites go dark across the kingdom, more than 300 in all. The government says it's protecting citizens against slander and blackmail on unregulated websites. But website editors charge the law is political, not legal, and targets online dissent.
DAOUD KUTTAB: Internet is one of the only places that people have a voice that is outside of the gatekeepers of the government.
AMOS: That's Daoud Kuttab, the founder of Amman Net, one of the sites now blocked. His newsroom has been in operation for more than a decade. He's a pioneer in Jordan's independent news culture.
KUTTAB: The major newspapers are owned by the government. Radio and television is owned by the government. The private - the two private newspapers in Jordan - are owned by businessmen who are totally in bed with the government. So where is independent media?
AMOS: Some of that independent media disappeared in Jordan on June 2nd. The domestic blackout doesn't include Internet giants like Google and Facebook. The law also doesn't touch Jordanian bloggers like Nassem Tarawnah. He runs a site called Hiba.com. He escaped the ban but he joined the protests.
NASSEM TARAWNAH: Absolutely, I mean we are angry because it sets a very, very dangerous precedent. There is nothing to say that a year from now, two years from now, this is not going to affect a larger segment of the Internet.
AMOS: We meet at a cafe where young customers pay for cappuccinos and log-on for free. Jordan's Internet culture is most popular among a generation that bypasses the country's traditional media. The go-to places for news and comment are Facebook and popular local websites, says Tarawnah.
TARAWNAH: This intricate web of laws and regulation really aim to kind of create this culture of self-censorship. Self-censorship is incredibly high in this country. It's about pushing that offline culture of fear online.
AMOS: He's already seen online opinions dry up, even on his site.
TARAWNAH: It makes it even more difficult and challenging to get average people to say, speak up, you know, you can post it - it's safe, because that safety has been kind of eroded.
AMOS: The government imposed the Internet law as dissent in the kingdom has grown, over high-level corruption, a faltering economy. The most recent protests focused on the deployment of Patriot missile batteries and U.S. fighter jets, sent to protect Jordan, according to the White House, against violent spillover from Syria.
So it's no surprise Internet publishers accuse the government of trying to stifle critics. Government officials insist the law protects citizens who've been unfairly slandered online.
Daoud Kuttab acknowledges that there have been abuses.
KUTTAB: That's true, but that's the price of an openness. You know? And if somebody has actually broken the law and blackmailed people, put them in jail. Don't kill all the messengers using a machine gun just to get rid of a fly.
AMOS: He's joined a lawsuit against the government, as other Web publishers have encouraged a national campaign to break the blackout with technology - using what's known as a proxy to log on to servers outside the country. Jordanians are creating programs to do just that, offering the service for free online.

Candid Thoughts on Education, Love and Life. Also, prayers for all occasions, news on Life , love, health, learning, blogging and the thoughts in between.
And the Truth Shall Set You Free
I also believe that at the time of reckoning you answer only to Him and Him alone because He alone knows the truth about you and what you have done in your mundane existence.
The Clin Chem bloggers are part of the truth I have right now. These are young men and women who derive their values from what we set as examples. Filipino values like : respeto sa sarili at sa kapwa, pagiging matulungin, may utang na loob, hindi makasarili, may sariling sikap , makatao, makabayan at higit sa lahat may malinis na konsensya. ( self-respect and respect for others, helpfulness, has a grateful heart, not selfish, is resourceful and has ingenuity , is pro-man and nationalistic and most of all –lives with a clear conscience. )
I had introduced them to the blogging world because I had wanted them to experience the immense information and learning modalities they could avail of online; how we are a supportive, helpful and dynamic group of people that they can learn and interact with. I see the blogging world as a new tool to enhance their learning skills and I was encouraged because of the vast technology they could utilize; hence the birth of the Clin Chem Bloggers.
I have assigned scheduled posts in between exams and other school work. Blogging is not everything they do; they have to turn in assignments on time, prepare oral presentations and take their exams. And their posting depends upon the on-going schedule they have in school. This week is their midterm exams.
College life is toxic. I 'm sure you have experienced this yourselves, so for the whole semester and the next semester, they have a scheduled activity.
In fact, their next assigned activity - which was posted August 4, (take note of the date) - is due on or before August 19. And there will be continuing posts up to the next semester.
The Clin Chem Bloggers are genuine blogs with real people behind who voluntarily voted for the Jedi bloggers - after visiting the Jedi blogs. How could they describe the blogs if they hadn't? They have not violated any rules of the contest and are therefore valid votes.
Let's not dampen their trusting and sincere enthusiasm in blogging by clouding their honest votes and labeling them spams. Instead let's encourage them and show the beauty and wonder of the blogosphere.
If I really wanted to create splogs for the contest, I could have enlisted all the other blogs which were recently created by the incoming students. There are a handful of them.
The blogs voted by these Clin Chem Bloggers are worth your precious time, I can assure you. These are truly emerging blogs which could positively "influence" people across the globe. You'll come across interesting , artistic, entertaining and info- laden posts in these blogs. Being influential for me is being able to evoke the positive traits from your readers, and I am proud to be a Jedi Blogger!
I wanted to remain mum at first, but remaining silent may be interpreted by some as being acquiescent.
This would be the first and last time I'll be posting about this topic.
My parting words would be, " In time, truth will prevail."
August 15, 2009
I would like to add this quotation which is apt for this post: (courtesy of Mon)
"Sa taong may paniniwala sa iyo- Hindi mo na kailangang magpaliwanag. Pero sa taong walang paniniwala sa iyo - walang sapat na paliwanag."
( To people who believe in you, explanations are not needed, but for those who don't have faith in you - no amount of explanation would be enough.")

Jen, I could not have said it better. Welcome, to all the Clin Chem bloggers! And don't you worry - while the "blogosphere" isn't always a reflection of people's finer selves, that, too, is a valuable lesson in dealing with difficult people. Or in ignoring them, and rising above pettiness and poor sportsmanship. There are more worthy people and pursuits to focus your energies on, and they appreciate your friendship and your talents; they cheer you on and support you in your aspirations. Study hard and learn; Jen's right, the Internet offers a wealth of resources for deeper learning. And it offers opportunities for networking and forming personal and professional relationships.
Pleased to meet you all. I hope you'll drop by my blog often; remember that you are always welcome there.

hi Jena,
as is my position on the issue, it is an issue of contest rules that were clearly not wise and non-transparent. while i don't say these chem bloggers are splogs, clearly if one could do it, spam blogs could fill the votes.
quite obviously, this is a bloc-voting done by the chem bloggers, to whom it is their sole discretion. i believe there is no fault that can be found on these kids. if they ever read those blogs they voted for, or somebody asked them to vote, it is entirely up to them.
as is most popularity contests, it is the way of the game.
however, i found fault on the promoter of the contest itself. having no clear and transparent voting process. and if she did act for ethical reasons, she would not count votes that came from blogs formed recently after the contest started.
that's my take.

Hi Buraot,
Thank you for that unbiased comment. Indeed they visited the blogs before they voted.
I appreciate your vital input and concern. I'm sure Janet would welcome valid suggestions about the contest rules.
Thank you for the faith.
All the best.

You're back. Yes the Philippines is a bloggers' world. This is because English is a second language.

Thank you for this post... I guess I'm just two coffee away from my sanity

Hi Roy,
It is simple Roy: We know what the truth is and we stick to it.
Enjoy your well earned triumph. Remember the code, "Not to give in to the dark side from within."

Upon hearing the issue, I was dumbfounded to hear that they have been accusing us of being spams! If you people could see for yourselves how much time and effort we put to this and this is what we get in return? I don't think we deserve such treatment. You guys are older than us, so I guess you know better, but a lot of you proved me wrong. I looked up to you people as influences, and you have disappointed me, and my fellow Clin Chem Bloggers. As said above, truth will prevail. We stand by the truth, knowing we are right, we fight for our rights. It is unjust that you have stepped on us like this, there are 29 of us, we stand by our mentor, we stand by our rights, we are not SPAMS and TRUTH is OURS!

Welcome Clin Chem Bloggers to the blogosphere. It seems that your presence was greeted by more than smiling faces, but by intrigues as well.
There are more people out there who are true to what they say in the blogs. Respectable and intelligent people worth knowing and worth reading. Don't be disheartened by the dark side of blogging.
See you on the 22nd!
Keep blogging!
- August 12, 2009 at 12:35 AM
The truth shall prevail,
We ride in the truth so we'll never fail, may God be with us for that all Hail.
Negative comments and issues cannot bring us down, but can make us sad and can make us frown.
It can also make us strong and make us one. Those who oppose us, where are they? Gone.
The blog i made was for my own sake. I learned, I shared my knowledge what more can i make?
My poems? They're imperfect but you'll be more awake, like a cup of coffee excited to sip in another take.
Let's go to the issue for it concerns us all. I voted in my own free will, for that i stand tall.
We are not spams or whatever they call us. We think, we choose, we decide and NO ONE can force us.
I nominated those who i think deserve it. For those of you who made it "Congrats!" for those who don't Im sorry.
THANK YOU our mentor for introducing us in the blogosphere. I think i'll be more likely to be staying here. You have made us a family and I have started to love it. All for one and one for all, that is our motto and NO ONE can break it.

Wow! a great poem. You're a great poet like Doc Z. and very well written too. I couldn't see any loophole in your flowing verse.

Thanks Timz.

Hi Doc Z,
Their first experience in blogging is unpleasant. But that is only a small dark corner of the blogosphere.The truth is there are lots of helpful and generous people around who would be willing to help them out.
Congratulations again doc Z for truly being the emerging influential blogger that you are!

Bago ang lahat nais ko munang magpasalamat sa aming butihing tagapagpayo at pasimuno ng lahat ng ito, walang iba kundi ang ang aming butihing guro na s si madam Gaces,, siya'y walang sawang umalalay sa amin at nagbigay ng mahahalagang aral para sa ikagaganda ng aming mga "Blog"
Naintindihan ko kung bakit ganito na lamang ang naging reaksyon niya laban sa mga taong pilit kaming inaapakan at niyuyurakan ang aming pagkatao, sapagkat bilang isang pangalawang ina sa amin, Mas subrang sakit ang kanyang nararadaman sa tuwing kami ay iniinsulto ng mga kritiko at natural lamang sa ina na ipagtanggol niya ang mga anak laban sa mapagsmantalang tao...
Bagkus, Hindi kami magpapaapekto sa mga ganitong isyu dahal kami mismo alam namen sa sarili namen na wala kaming inagrabyadong tao at higit sa lahat malinis ang aming kunsyensya na kami mismo ang nagpakahirap at nagtuon ng panahon para sa ikakaganda ng aming "blog"

In a contest there is a "WINNER" and a "LOOSER" when some people cannot accept the fact that they loosed in the contest they blame persons that they where been cheated isn't it?
Just like in our government right? If you join i a contest you must know these fact. All that i wanted to say is that "SPORTS LANG". Thank for defending us, i know many readers will realize that what we did is TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH.

"BITTERNESS", is all I can say to those bloggers who are formulating any negative issues about us. Hahaha! How pathetic of you guys. Stop accusing us, Clin Chem Bloggers, as SPAMS. You don't know the whole story, so you are not in the position to say anything against us. I'm sure if you had just received any of the award, there will be no issues as such. So please, kindly shut your mouth and open your eyes.

Anjelica, you wrote "You guys are older than us, so I guess you know better, but a lot of you proved me wrong. I looked up to you people as influences, and you have disappointed me."
I remember the day I had this epiphany about older people that I respected and looked up to, and my heart aches for you. There will be other disillusionment in life, but this is one of the hardest lessons to learn, because it shakes the foundations so carefully built in childhood, it shakes our trust, and it makes us question everything. That said, it's also a big step to adulthood, and to becoming someone others can respect and trust. Remember how let down you feel now, and make every effort not to pull the rug out from under someone who looks up to you.

Oh THAT'S how you do it. My mom had it all wrong. :)
I gave up on hangers and just put up coat hooks in our laundry room. But do coats make it on said hooks, oh no, they're all draped over dining room chairs. Sigh. And we have a one year old. Those coats are ours!

So.. hows that going for you Dawn? Are they hanging up their coats yet? My kids still haven't figured out how to put Shoes away. And the dog hasn't figured out how to stop chewing on them...
- November 11, 2009 at 7:42 AM
Hi Dawn,
I have 3 kids and have given up on trying to get them to hang their coats up.I have a big basket by the door for their coats now and they can't even manage that! lol
By the way,your little boy has the cutest laugh!

- November 11, 2009 at 8:06 AM
We installed a coat rack next to the door - we even hung it at the kids' height....Yep, they still throw their coats on the floor everyday. I will be sure to show them this informational video today after school :)

Oh my gosh, I am roflol!
Mine hang up their coats. They cannot, however, put their shoes on the shoe rack. They will place them on the rug in FRONT of the shoe rack. I started collecting any shoes found on the rug and charging $1 to their owner for their return.
It's working pretty well!

- aceiatx said...
get one of these and your shorter kids will be able to reach the lower bar to hang their coats -
- November 11, 2009 at 8:40 AM
Coats go on hangers? Really? We have hooks by the door and my kids (who are both old enough to reach and to know better) still just toss them in a pile!
- November 11, 2009 at 8:43 AM
- pattymerry said...
What kind of monster mom are you? You expect them to do all that work, OPEN a door, get a hanger and hang up coats when they can just toss them on the floor?? I have hooks on the wall by the door, and still we have coats on the floor. Good luck and thanks for the laugh!

THAT is too funny! Love the look of sheer boredom and annoyance on the face of your big boy. Classic.
May I recommend 2 hooks on the inside of the cupboard door for your two shorties to use? Works good in my house.
- November 11, 2009 at 8:56 AM
ha! lol! would use it, but here in south Louisiana, you really only wear a coat once a year when there's a freakish below 80 day!

Halarious Dawn! We have had the same talk, did the coat hooks, all to no avail. We have also had a similar conversation about the toilet paper. Sigh.... just to tricky I guess. Have a great day.

- Jess in MI said...
my little tip for kids that are too short. Buy the little Command Hooks and hang them behind the living room door. You can hang then right at their height, so no excuses. AND...they come off clean because of the handy little tab thingy. Your welcome Clay :)
- November 11, 2009 at 12:14 PM
- November 11, 2009 at 12:26 PM
Oh my goodness!!!!! That's too funny! I am in love with Clay's laugh! That would brighten even the darkest heart of stone. Thanks for putting a smile on my face. I am still LOL'ing.
And I must agree with the previous poster who called you a monster. What kind of cruel person are you anyway? That is clearly much too difficult of a task for those little darlings. All that coat hanging will cut into their eye rolling and heavy sighing time...
-Beth in MI
- November 11, 2009 at 1:27 PM
Well, I thought I'd have an original comment, but nevermind. Just another person to say that we have hooks. Much easier than hangers. Not that it makes any difference to the coats on the floor--they're still there. But at least I don't have empty hangers flying around, too. One sure-fire way to get one of my children to hang up her coat, though, is to hang somebody ELSE'S coat on her hook. Voilá--her coat is on the hook, hung up by her very own self. And the someone-else's coat is on the floor. But if her hook is empty, her coat goes on the floor, too.
- November 11, 2009 at 3:38 PM
- Jen said...
I totally LOL'ed at this, Dawn. Your kids are awesome and they look so much like you. <3 Thanks for the awesome lesson on how to hang a coat... Now... if only hubby would figure it out, too... *giggles*
I'm only kidding. Honest.. He gets it hanging about 50% of the time.. *bats eyes*... :P
Thanks for the laugh, gal! *hugs*

I noticed in this video that you changed your Ektorp sofa slipcovers from beige to navy blue. This is the exact same change we made earlier this year when we realized beige+small children is a really bad idea. Although navy blue shows milk stains a lot more easily.

Your kids take you about as seriously as mine do! As for hanging up clothes, I've almost given up cause the closets in the kids rooms are so tall, I almost can't reach them.
- November 12, 2009 at 9:14 AM
Dawn, get one of those gizmos that hangs from the metal bar in your closet and provide another, lower bar for the little kids to hang their coats on. Then get ready to nag,nag,nag,nag about using it! My teens graduated from the little bar, but still think they can just "hang their coats" on the railing banisters... Oh well better than the floor!
- November 12, 2009 at 3:08 PM
- Karen said...
Um Dawn....you asked the kids the wrong question. You asked them if they could hang their coats up.....you didn't ask them if they WOULD hang their coats up. Sure they CAN do it, but will they? Tee hee!!!
- November 12, 2009 at 5:31 PM
Hilarious! I thought your oldest boy had that wonderful look of teen boredom. My brother had that look for 5 years. Age 13 to 18. And no, his face did not freeze that way, so when my ten year old gets that look I cannot threaten that! Ha ha! Thanks for the laugh!

I am DYING of laughter! Thank you so much for posting this -- so true, and yet you make it so amusing instead of frustrating!! You're the best!
- November 13, 2009 at 10:04 PM
I love Clayton's laugh oh my gosh that is the cutest!!! So how well did the lesson take? We had hooks my kids did use them but they got older and didn't want to use it anymore so now, it's coats on the stairs on the floor oh it's a nice mess will have to show them the video!
- November 13, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Adorable! And your voice is so cute.
My kids can't reach, so their version of hanging up their coats is throwing them down by the closet door, and then I hang them up. At least that puts them in the vicinity of the closet!
- November 14, 2009 at 1:13 AM
Oh so that's how it works!! Can you do one on putting up the backpacks next? My pile consists of both coats and backpacks!! LOL
- November 14, 2009 at 10:45 AM
- janet in ft worth said...
So please, please tell me how I get my husband to hang his coat on something other than a dining room chair. Then he'll decide to wear a different one, leaving the first on the dining chair. When he comes in the house with the second one, he hangs it on a different dining room chair.
Oh, yeah...my daughter does this, too, but she has her own house to do it in now.

Another View -- Karen Feldscher: Remembering my friend Cissy Taylor, lost one year agoKaren Feldscher
May 04. 2013 2:40AM
A year ago, my good friend Cissy Taylor died unexpectedly, just shy of her 65th birthday. Her birthday was May 1, and Cissy - a Kentucky girl - always celebrated with a Derby Day party that I looked forward to every year.
Cissy worked for many years at the Union Leader as a crime reporter and editor. Before that, she was my first editor at my first newspaper job, at the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune. She was a great boss - supportive, good at giving advice, matter-of-fact, fun. I worked for her for about a year and a half, and after that we could focus on simply being friends. It stayed that way for 30 years.
Her Derby Day party was a big deal. It was when everyone in Cissy's circle came together. The party would start slow, a few people milling about under a big tent in her backyard, a few watching the sportscasters' pre-race banter on the television in the living room. Cissy's brother Richard, twirling the edges of his mustache, would case the room with a basket filled with tiny slips of paper featuring the horse's names. "A dollar each," he'd call. "Bet on a horse!"
Each slip had the name of one of the racehorses - intriguing names like Strike the Gold, Go for Gin, Thunder Gulch, Super Saver. You'd pick a few slips, hoping this would be your year. If your horse won, you got the pot; if your horse came in last place, you'd get that year's Kentucky Derby shot glass.
As it neared post time, the crowd swelled. People huddled around the television, fingering their little strips of paper, murmuring their horses' names, commenting on the odds that flashed across the screen.
The food was oh-so-fun - perfect frozen mint juleps, ham-and-beaten-biscuit sandwiches, baked beans, Cissy's one-of-a-kind spinach salad with strawberries and blueberries, hot mustard dip with pretzels, and a giant chocolate sheet cake with a thoroughbred galloping across the icing.
Many years I'd arrive early so I could spend time alone with Cissy. She'd unwrap the ham that her Kentucky relatives - the actual Taylor ham family! - had shipped to her, along with a big plastic bag full of biscuits. We'd sit at the table, slicing open each biscuit, sliding in a few small slices of ham, nibbling as we went along. Often it had been a year since we'd seen each other, so there was plenty to talk about: work, relationships, friends, kids.
She was just the same way she'd been as an editor: supportive, good at giving advice, matter-of-fact, fun. She was quick to smile and had warm laugh lines around her eyes that made you want to smile and laugh with her. And she was a natural storyteller. I got to hear choice tidbits about her work as a crime reporter - about state cops, prosecutors, murderers, crime scenes.
Her bout with breast cancer was an ordeal. An operation, then chemo. Before chemo she gamely threw herself a scarf party in anticipation of losing her hair. I couldn't be at the party, so I sent one in the mail; she expressed her gratitude. Later, after her treatment was over and we met for dinner one night, she told me something about chemo that's stuck in my mind ever since. "It's one of those weird side effects you don't really know about ahead of time," she said. "You know how when you're washing a pan and you go to scrape off some dirt with a fingernail? You can't do that when you're having chemo because it makes your fingernails weak."
She got through the chemo. She was back working, living her life. She'd left the newspaper and worked briefly as a consultant, then as information officer for the New Hampshire House of Representatives. After that job was eliminated, she wound up working as a waitress. She said she loved it.
And then - she was gone.
Unfortunately, I missed any chance to formally mark Cissy's death - I didn't learn about it until after there'd been a memorial service in Manchester. On Facebook, I saw pictures of a small group of friends who stood on a street corner after the memorial and released balloons in her memory. Before Cissy's death I hadn't given much thought to funerals or memorial services. They were grim, something you had to get through. But not being able to mark the passing of someone you were close with? Very bad.
So, one year after Cissy's birthday - and with Derby Day coming along - I am pausing again to remember her. I suspect there are many people in southern New Hampshire, Kentucky and elsewhere doing the same thing.
On Derby Day I hope to find a mint julep somewhere - I'm sure it won't be as good as the ones at those Derby Day parties at Cissy's house, but I'll do what I can - and raise a glass. And remember.
Karen Feldscher is a writer in Needham, Mass.

I've been in a play once a year for more than 10 years. This has been my one outlet throughout the years, where I've been able to do something for me; something that I enjoy; something for Dawn the person, not Dawn the mom or Dawn the wife. Of course, now my life is a little different and over the past year and a half I've had the chance to do many things for myself. But in the past especially, this has been the one thing I've taken time to do for myself simply because I enjoy it.
This year I'm playing the part of Gay Wellington, a drunk actress. I go on stage, get drunk, and pass out. So easy a caveman can do it. It's actually a really fun part to play. At one point, I have to flip over the back of the couch. I'm afraid I'm going to tumble head-over-heels one of these times. It hasn't been a big deal, however, because I've just been wearing jeans at rehearsals. Today, I had to do it in my costume (which is a dress.) Because I had this

I have a couple of old computers to donate or take to a recycling facility, but first I want to remove the hard drives and destroy them. Researching the current best approaches to destroy old hard drives led me to some downright scary stories of identity theft or potential identity theft from consumers just following requirements for hard drive warranties or computer store repair policies. I thought I'd share a sampling of stories and recommendations on how to safely physically destroy those old hard drives. In addition, I'm including some humorous, light-hearted, and creative approaches to destroying those old hard drives. Destroy Those Old Hard Drives ... continued

Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero urges women to realize the power they hold, claim it — and make a difference in the world around them.
Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero urges women to realize the power they hold, claim it — and make a difference in the world around them.
"We all have the power and responsibility to make the change we desire," Rogero told the crowd gathered Friday at the Oak Ridge Associated Universities' Pollard Technology Conference Center.
The many women listening, and a few men, were attending the day-long International Women's Day Conference in Oak Ridge.
A common way of giving up power is to think you don't have any, Rogero said. She reminded the women that "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world," citing the fact that the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote was approved when legislator Harry Thomas Burn Sr. voted in favor of the measure after reading a letter urging such action by his mother, a Tennessean.
Rogero is the first woman mayor of Knoxville, elected in 2011, and the only woman ever elected mayor in Tennessee's four largest cities. Her life has included working with migrant farm workers in California, along with Cesar Chavez's United Farm Workers in the 1970s, and women coal miners in Kentucky.
Rogero pointed out the Oak Ridge ties to her political career and the women miners.
In the 1970s, it was women lawyers in Oak Ridge — Oak Ridger Jo Ann Garrett mentioned local attorney Dorothy Stuhlburg as being one of them — who wanted to inspect the underground coal mines but were stopped by the mining companies because superstition held that allowing women into coal mines was bad luck and would lead to disaster. The women returned to their offices and found that those coal companies were selling to the federal utility TVA and that Kentucky women were being prohibited from working in those mines — which paid more than other jobs in their area. The Oak Ridge women lawyers began the effort that led to the Kentucky women being allowed to work in the mines.
In regards to her political career, Rogero said when she moved to Knoxville she began exploring how to run for office and went to the library. She found a book called "See Jane, See Jane Run, See Jane Run For Office," by Shirley Hendrix of the League of Women Voters of Oak Ridge, which provided her the how-to information.
When she first ran for office, she said, her opponent didn't consider her a serious threat and would introduce her to people, commenting on how pretty she was. She said she'd try to act that much prettier — all the while working to get elected and organizing her campaign.
She won, beating out the 24-year commission veteran.
"When being a woman is used against you, just use it to your advantage," Rogero said. In response to a question, she said she wished more young women were getting into politics. In addition to area women, Friday's conference was attended by a large group of young women from the Women's Center at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Rogero recommended the book, "Composing a Future Life: The Age of Active Wisdom," by Mary Catherine Bateson, the daughter of anthropologist Margaret Mead.
"Life is an improvisational art form, she says," Rogero cited, and the peaks and valleys are part of the rich tapestry we weave on the way to empowerment and wisdom.
Rogero told of Lindy Boggs, the U.S. congresswoman whose actions helped stop women from being discriminated against from getting home mortgages because of their gender and martial status. The men involved in writing the law were just not aware of the discrimination. During an anti-slavery talk, Rogero said, an older white man told former slave and abolitionist Sojourner Truth that he didn't pay her anymore mind than he would a flea bite. Sojourner replied: "Perhaps not, but Lord willing, I'll keep you scratching."
"We can be the fleas biting (for change)," Rogero said.

Jai Ho,....!
Met Sushmita Sen after ages at a wonderful evening put together by the India chapter of the IAA (an international body that represents the advertising community). She was the chief guest at a contest to determine the best pitch to take Nobel Laureate Dr. Rajendra Pachauri's solar lantern initiative forward. Remember the 'Light a Billion Lives' campaign? Most of us noted it but didn't act. All it takes is 3, 600 rupees to donate a lantern, and 3 lakhs to bring electricity to a village. There are 40 crore Indian citizens living without electricity in this day and age!! What a shameful statistic. As Dr. P briefed a few of us, who formed the final jury, left to government intervention, lighting up these villages would take another 240 years!!! But with the support of NGOs, corporates and individuals, this life transforming initiative could achieve its ambitious target within a few short years. Annapoorna, Dr. Pauchari's attractive programme director demonstrated how very easy it was to get the Lantern movement to take off - and Sushmita was gracious enough to kick start the process by handing over 2 cheques, from herself and her daughter Renee, as her personal contribution. She made a charming and sincere speech.... and looked like a million bucks, clad in slim-fitting black trousers and a black shirt. There was no evidence of the extra kilos the press has been commenting on. The best thing about Sushmita is that she radiates positivity. There is an infectious exhuberance about her that is entirely appealing. Whether or not her career is going anywhere, is irrelevant. She is obviously in a happy space.... and glowing! Love ke side effects???

On the occasion of the Republic Day of our country, i take this opportunity to present this award to my blogger friends who have made a difference by writing their frank opinions in their blogs as well, as in the comment columns of other blogs. These bloggers have not written any sensational or luscious stories to attract traffic to their blogs, but they have put down in prose as well, as verse, whatever they have felt strongly about, may it be about their personal lives or about a burning issue of the society. The sole purpose of their writing has been to make a difference. I wish that their ideas may fructify and bring a change in the society for better. I salute them all.

I think its wonderful that you brought this campaign to our attention. Bringing development to India's villages should be the priority... yeah even more than creating new Shanghais. I firmly believe India's prosperity and healthy growth of the economy requires this. It is in India's villages that the silent majority lives.Grassroots, little itty bitty steps.
That Sushmita lends her support to this is no surprise to me. She has many times in the past demonstrated grace and compassion with a realistic eye to the public good.
Congratulations to Dr. Pachauri for his initiative and personally, I will find out more so that I can contribute my little bit for it.
Thanks for bringing this to our notice Shobhaa.

May be Sushmitha lacked the maturity 10 years back than now, while Ash maintained her dignity. Sush was all over media for her stints with Sanju, drunken and found in foriegn hotel. Aish was a silent,mor glamourised, more beautiful,matured as she is now and then. She got her break getting married to most successful bachan family. Which I believe Sush lacked!

Even I read all of them reviews + the wikipedia page. Only the BBC site as as much abuzz as the media in India. Everyday those ppl at BBC are coming with something or the other abt Slumdog.
Yes, I think there is a sophistication and radiance to Sush. As for Ash, I think she comes across as a somewhat lost soul. And that reflects differently on differently ppl, as these comments show.
- January 25, 2009 at 3:15 AM
I fully agree. Sushmita Sen seems like a great person, inside and out. From the little that I know (from TV and movies and interviews), she exhibits a rare combination of both strength and elegance. No pretense of fragility. No vanity. She keeps it real! It's a pity that she isn't in as many films as I would like to see her take part in.
And the "Light a Billion Lives" campaign... how wonderful.

Hi Shobhaa,
Convey my regards to Sushmita Sen on Shah Rukh's behalf of "Main Hu Na". I think that's cute: trousers & black shirt. Wonder how you would look in the same attire & shorter hair perhaps? Role reversal is fun!

Ms Shobhaa De, you certainly voice a collective opinion in seeking relief from more Jai Ho of Slumdog Millionaire! Let the movie run, let in rake in awards. And let us go ga ga over it, after the Oscars :)
Thank yuo for sharing that info. both on the Solar Lantern Initiative and on Sushmita. Have always admired her earthiness, and the with it human soul she is, more than a plastic doll... :)
Glad to have found this space, through Balvinder Singh.

Whoa! What a dumb way to hook an audience....you start off with Slumdog Millionaire....say you won't be talking about it but write one long dumb para about it that makes no point whatsoever except that you don't like others gushing about Slumdog Millionaire.
Then you say it's no surprise that it didn't open to full houses...not that you give Ghajini any credit for opening to packed houses...But suddenly popularity of the film becomes important because, you don't like people gushing about the movie so much.
Frankly, if you don't want to talk about Slumdog then don't talk about it! Or say something semi-intelligent about it.
- January 26, 2009 at 11:09 AM
Hi Shobhaa,
This is the original article by Arindam Chaudhari which I found very infuriating! I wonder what you think?
I wish you would use your power and pen to ciculate a different opinion than the hard-sold one of Mr.Chaudhari. This was my reaction to him...

Rabbi Kula says "you need to learn something new about yourself, someone else or an opinion you strongly disagree with, because doing so will help you become more conscious, aware and alert."
"You have to practice becoming kinder, more compassionate and more caring. The more we practice the better we become."
Michael Bernard Beckwith says "When one begins to really feel into the spiritual dimension of their beings, they bump into love. They bump into compassion. They bump into beauty,"
"Then you become an open vehicle for more inspiration, more wisdom, more guidance coming from the spiritual part of your being."
live in the spirit of blessing and not blame.

Some information on the rural electrification projects in progress in neighbouring Nepal is to be found at: http://www.hedon.info/DemandSideManagementForRuralNepal
These appear to be quite innovative and perhaps Dr. Pachauri and his associates should take notice of the simple, effective and relatively inexpensive techniques in use.
BTW, the movie has been written, produced and directed by foreigners. The only reason to exult, according to me, is the Golden Globe won by Rehman.

Not to nitpick but technically Dr. Pachauri cannot be addressed as Nobel Laureate: the organization he heads won the prize not him.
Having worked on env. & energy I feel that raising money and distributing millions of solar lanterns is the easier part. The problem is developing the infrastructure(including recurring costs) to service and maintain the lanterns.
- January 29, 2009 at 6:35 AM
Thank you for bringing the Lantern effort to light here. I think a lot of us would be delighted to contribute but lack the trust where the money will/may end up.
- January 30, 2009 at 2:23 AM
Let's see drunken and promiscuous Sushmita radiates positivity. LMAO
Why is the media always promoting this slut who lives off of rich usually married men? She had the same opportunities as the other beauty pagaent winners (Aishwarya, Priyanka, Lara, etc.) and wasted them due to her lazy attitude. She prefers to earn her money on her back.
BTW, the Bachchans have done more for the light a village initiative then Sushmita will ever do.

Oh God !!! Rajender Pachury and his LaBL (Lighting a Billion Lives) Campaign....!!! Well Madam Before you really write about this come to your senses at least. Answer some of these questions first
1> 40 c Indian lives without light...Now who gave you the right to bring in a bridge these people and provide them with somethin as stupid as lantern to start with...( Technically these solar lanters run for 4 hours and during moonson they are worth less. Thier battery needs to be replaed every year)
2> Why is the rural poor subjected to all the gueina pig experiments carried out by ill equipped people like Rajendra Pachaury
3> Rajendra Pachaury's own office ( TERI ) in Lodhi Road dosnt have a single light or desktops running on solar/biomass/biogas/any other whatsoever renewable energy....A Person who dosnt follows what he says..how can this person bring in renewable revolution
4> Why is renewable only for those rural villages where electricity from grid cannot reach under RGGVY Scheme (Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojona). [ most of these power plant projects have failed in india as the technology dates back to those of WOrld War II]
{{If you think Biomass Gasifier of Bio Diesel is something new then do carry out some more study}}
5> What is RKP tryn to prove to the world by striving for defection of the kerosene subsidy towards solar...( Tell that old man that in villages Kerosene is mostly used for cooking and then for lighting and NOT Vice versa) Solar lanterns wont help these people cook food in place of kerosene
6> THE TOTAL LCA OF SOLAR LANTERN IS NOT AT ALL CARBON EFFICIENT ( In other words the life cycle analysis of a solar lanter {its manufacturing, transport, batter disposal which is environmentally disasturous basically adds to the CO2 emmission in air})
7> Ask that person what plans does he makes for the disposal of 50 lead acid battery of the Solar Lanterns for each village where he is going to put up his lighthouse
I know he is an eminent person and I shouldnt question his LaBL projects but the juice is not worth the squezz

Subject: Fwd: FW: Danny Boyle planning to make 'Princedog Billionaire' next?

Danny Boyle planning to make 'Princedog Billionaire' next?
http://www.bbc. co.uk/shropshire /content/ articles/ 2009/01/09/ bollywood_ previews_ slumdog_feature. shtml
After the moving story about a slum kid winning millions on the Who Wants To be A Millionaire game show and its success, Danny Boyle has embarked on a more ambitious 'Princedog Billionare' film.
The story revolves around the real life story of the death of People's Princess Diana and her ill-fated boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed. Unlike the true story. Dodi Al Fayed in survives the car crash and rises with a vengeance to become the first Muslim prince of England with the help of the People's princess!
Dodi Al Fayed, son of Harrods Departmental Store chain owner Muhammed Al Fayed an Egyptian immigrant who strikes it big in England and grows to become a billionaire. His son, Dodi Al Fayed who grows up in the slums of London, also beats the odds of racism and rises in life.
The people's princess Diana is lost almost suicidal after being cheated by her husband the prince for another woman, when she meets the humble Dodi and falls in love.
But as luck would have it, it is frowned upon by the scheming royal family and the equally scheming English establishment. An assortment of henchmen and henchwomen from Mi5 eventually plan an accident in Paris tunnel to kill Dodi and the people's princess.
James Bond is sent by Mi5 to assasinate Prince Dodi and Princess Diana. James Bond actor Daniel Craig, who plays the role confesses "I always wanted to play the dark side of James Bond and Mi5 in a movie". "And Danny Boyle provides me with a perfect opportunity for that in Princedog Billionaire" adds Dainel Craig.
The accident is planned in a Paris Tunnel and the stage is set to be blamed on the chasing papparazi and executed by none other than James Bond 007 and Mi5. However, things dont go exactly as planned by James Bond this time and he ends up falling into the trap he set for Dodi. "This is one movie where James Bond doesnt come off beaming" quips Daniel Craig.
This is the turning point of the film and the story takes a twist from the true story of Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed's car crash in a Paris Tunnel.
Dodi and the people's princess are rescued by a sympathetic papparazi who reaches on the spot and pulls them out of the crashed car. After a nearly two month struggle for life, Prince Dodi and the People's Princess eventually survive. Desperate to fight against the injustice done, they decide to reach out to the people of England to challenge the English royal family and the English establishment. In the process he also chastises the wayward prince 'Potty Harry' to give up racism.
An almost fairy tale like rise after his accident in Paris tunnel along with the people's princess, Princedog has all the ingredients of Slumdog's success recipe, though dollops more of it!
Prince Dodi's rise in Princedog Billionaire is comparable to the rise of the slum boy in the movie Slumdog Millionaire. Prince Dodi starts off in a humble way in his approach to the people, but eventually becomes a phenomena in the country. The people of England embrace Dodi as the 'People's prince' along with the people's princess Diana. Prince Dodi is eventually designated as the next heir to English crown instead of William as he has people's mandate.
The Music for the film is composed by John Barry of James Bond Music fame. Daniel Craig plays the dark side of James Bond in the movie. However, despite the success, the winning star cast of Danny Boyle of Slumdog are missing from this film. Loveleen Tandon is missing from the direction and A R Rahman will not be composing music for this movie. "The cast and crew of Slumdog are not comfortable with English culture." says Danny Boyle. "I will recreate the magic of Slumdog in Princedog with a new set of crew altogether" says a confident Danny Boyle. "I may chose Dev Patel to play Prince Dodi, but the hunt is still on for an actress who can portray the people's princess Diana" concludes Danny Boyle.

Vegan Mofo: Big Breakfast!
This is another cookbook recipe. I've actually blogged the recipe before (last October, to be exact ... the recipe is here). It's based on my Granny's breakfast casserole that she makes every year for our family's Christmas breakfast. Hers contains meat and eggs. But mine is made with layers of bread, scrambled tofu, vegan sausage, and a cheezy nooch-based sauce.
As I've mentioned before, I've been counting calories on my Lose It iPhone app ... just for fun and because I'm slightly obsessive. Turns out this hearty breakfast didn't contain any more calories than a bowl of doctored-up oats or a cup of yogurt with granola. And the only added fat is about a tablespoon of soy margarine in the cheeze sauce. Filling, healthy, low fat-ish, and not too calorie dense (one-sixth of the casserole had 327 calories, in case you were wondering).

I <3 the Lose It app on my Iphone!!!!! It keeps me on track and concious of how many calories are in what I'm eating.
I've also been pretty neurotic in calculating calories for any vegan recipes I make from cookbooks - so that I can have an exact caloric estimate of course ;)
and so that I'm aware of the fact that most vegan cookies contain about 200 cals per cookie - damn. LOL but at least it keeps my hand outta the cookie jar!!!!!

Bianca, I'm seriously going to love your book when it finally comes out! I've been thinking about doing some sort of recipe collection of my own, and I think a lot of our ideas overlap.

Fall is a beautiful time in the High Sierra and some of my most memorable experiences have come during this season. This year was no exception with many great outings. On my last adventure run in the High Sierra before the peaks became buried in snow, I explored a region of the range I have yet to see (as hard as that might be to believe) – the LeConte Divide. This often overlooked area west of the Sierra Crest features spectacular scenery and numerous opportunities for off-trail exploration. The LeConte Divide is quite rugged belying its lower elevation compared to it's neighbors to the east. It's also one of the more remote sections of the range and therefore solitude can easily be achieved. All of the peaks along the Leconte Divide are guarded by long approaches as some are well over 20 miles away from the nearest trailhead, and that's just to reach the base of the peaks. These approaches are ideal for adventure running as they are fairly moderate (runnable) and are within the montane forest zone for a large portion (not much scenery to distract). Since the LeConte Divide is so remote, only a handful of peaks have names and the remainder are simply identified by their altitude. The peaks along the divide harbor dozens of gorgeous alpine lakes, tarns and meadows; quintessential Sierra scenery.
For my first trip to this region, I started out at Courtright Reservoir (which features numerous domes for quality rock climbing) and headed to Red Mountain Basin where I ascended to Hell for Sure Lake, over 15 miles from the trailhead and much of that mileage in the forest. I'm curious what is the origin and etymology of the name "Hell for Sure" since this region is simply stunning – beautiful for sure! This late in the season, I encountered substantial snow on the last few miles above 9,000 feet, but it was well worth the effort to reach the lake, which features a backdrop of the sheer north face of Mount Hutton. I continued from the lake up a steep path to Hell for Sure Pass with a perfectly framed view of Hell for Sure Lake below. After a few photos at the pas, I headed up snow slopes to the summit of Red Mountain where I encountered much post-holing along the way. Finally at the summit, I marveled at the 360 degree views including the Sierra Crest, Goddard Canyon, the LeConte Divide, and the Sierra foothills. I could see all the way to the peaks of Yosemite high country to the north and the Great Western Divide to the south. The position of the LeConte Divide to the west of the crest affords great views up and down the High Sierra. The best view of all, however, was Red Mountain Basin immediately below, with at least seven shimmering lakes tucked beneath Mount Hutton and Hell for Sure Lake being the large centerpiece. Back at Hell for Sure Lake after the descent from Red Mountain, I made a diversion to Horseshoe Lake at the foot of Mount Hutton. The route was mainly along the shores of Hell for Sure Lake over granite slabs and patches of unconsolidated snow. Unlike Hell for Sure Lake, Horseshoe Lake is aptly named with an obvious horseshoe shape. This lake is perhaps the most stunning in a basin filled with spectacular lakes. Horseshoe Lake is situated among polished granite cliffs, clumps of trees and the north face of Mount Hutton towering directly above. I enjoyed this trip so much that it produced at least three new ideas to visit other parts of the LeConte Divide in the future, including Bench Valley and it's numerous lakes, Mount Reinstein & Ambition Lake, and Finger Peak & Cathedral Lake. Beyond the LeConte Divide, I'm particularly interested in the upper Goddard Creek valley area and lake 10,232, one of the most remote spots in all of the Sierra with no trail accessibility for miles around. I would also like to revisit Red Mountain basin for further exploration including an ascent of Mount Hutton and stops at Devils Punchbowl, Little Shot Lake and Big Shot Lake.
