Yup, you've missed some obvious spots. Take another look at these:
row 14 - two squares of the "4" can be placed
row 19 - the 1st "1" can be placed
I didn't check the whole puzzle; just found these two right away.
When I get stuck, I usually put it away for a day. When I come back to it, I re-count each row and column.

Yes, Charlene, I do the same.
Indeed I missed row 14.
However - I am not sure about row 19 - why can't the missing 1 be in column 10 or 11? why3?

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't see that you had already placed one of the 1s.

Take another look at row 14; you should be able to place another square of the "4". Count from the right.

Yes !!!
"everything because of a little nail..."
After adding this missing one, I was able to follow this one through to completion.
Thanks !!!
I guess I have to sharpen my eyes...
...but it's good to know I can rely on my friends to get me out of these deadlock corners...
Thanks again,
Arik

I'm actually not very good at the more difficult PaP puzzles. I don't know any of the more advanced solving techniques.
