America's Castles® explores three classic homes that define the nation's most popular and recognizable architectural styles.
On 3,000 acres dotted with distinguished out-buildings, Pebble Hill is the ultimate Georgian Revival plantation home. Designed by President Garfield's son, it features one of the first elevators in a private home, and has hosted the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Presidents Eisenhower and Carter.
Proctor & Gamble owner David Gamble was determined to make his home the most innovative, unique and daring of the time. A visit to the Gamble shows he succeeded. With its exquisite inlays, extensive built-in furniture and gorgeous rare woods, it is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, a showcase of the Arts and Crafts movement.
Modeled on a luxury hotel, the Victoria is a classic of the Italianate Villa style. Go inside the Maine masterpiece to see the extensive frescoes and original carpeting that were essential to the overall design.

Shop for the Earth DVD collection it is a must-have for everyone interested in how our planet survives, from top to bottom, with the help of the sun and moon.
If We Had No Moon:
Without the moon, we wouldn't exist. Life, if it had started at all, would be in the earliest stages of evolution. Days would last four hours, winds would blow at hurricane-force and there'd be a dense and toxic atmosphere resembling the runaway greenhouse effect of hell-like Venus. What luck that 50 million years after the formation of the solar system, our proto-planet is smacked by a planetesimals more than twice the size of Mars. From that mother-of-all impacts is born the Moon. It is born in less than a year from debris blasted into orbit an enormous object in the sky, just 14 thousand miles away, 17 times closer than today. What was the earth like before this? What would the earth be like if the moon went away? What would it be like, "If We Had No Moon?"
What Lies Below:
"What Lies Below" centers around a young female team of cave explorers that will travel to any location on the planet Earth to passionately explore and document the millions of uncharted miles of caves that rest beneath our feet, much of which has never been seen or tread on by mankind. Each member of our team comes with a specialty that will be used to make scientific discoveries, map uncharted territories, discover new species of animal life, and uncover fantastic wonders never before seen. Our team leader and expert caver is Nancy Aulenbach, who says her first caving experience was in-utero, while still in her mother's womb and has not stopped since. She will lead biologist Dr. Jean Krejca, and geologist Andrea Croskrey MSc, who are all renowned experts in the field of cave exploration.
The team will travel to the most magical and dramatic environments in the world. They will uncover the history, the lore, and dangers of the location as well as the indigenous cultures of each country they visit. Together they will then descend the dangerous deep, cold, and dark world of subterranean Earth where endless mysteries abound. From deep ocean grottos, lava tubes, glacier caves, thermal oven-like caverns, edible cave walls, bottomless ice crevasses, and endless mile deep maze like corridors, that push every primal fear and phobia we've come to dread. This is a world that with one wrong move, the pitch black and silent labyrinth will swallow even the most experienced caver, sometimes never to be seen again.
The team will encounter millions of bats, bugs, and animal life, 60 ft tall redwood sized crystals, prehistoric cave paintings and bones, massive underground lakes, rivers, and more. Viewers will watch as these women venture through horizontal, vertical and terrestrial caves; weave their way through tiny passages, swim through flooded underground vaults, drop into amazing blue labyrinths of ice and enter a whole new world that most people don't know about and have never seen until now. These finds are just the starting point in this breathtaking and crisply shot HD series, where our female team will bond, live together, explore, discover, and deliver viewers a world yet unseen and as mysterious as a journey into the far reaches of space.
Fearless Planet:
4.56 billion years ago, a planet the size of Mars collided with our Earth. It set off a chain of events that would transform the Earth from a lifeless wasteland into the fertile, blue planet we know today. This is that story. Our intrepid team of scientists gets hands-on with the evidence to find out how volcanic eruptions, collisions with comets and the unstoppable drift of the continents across the globe have combined to push up some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world. In this epic tale, we shall learn how life has survived catastrophe after catastrophe to emerge ever stronger in a constantly changing world.
Inside Planet Earth:
Humans have explored the moon a quarter million miles away, yet more than 99 percent of Earth remains unexplored. But this final frontier isn't on the surface of the Earth. Below the rain forests and the mountains are thousands of miles of inaccessible rock and metal, searing heat, and crushing pressure. But what if a crack could be opened all the way to the center of the Earth? The Earth is like an onion, divided into layers. Each layer plays a vital role in making the world a place where life can survive. Above Ground: The outermost layer, the atmosphere, is painfully thin. It makes up just one percent of the volume of the planet. The journey begins by discovering what it's like to free-fall through 19 miles of atmosphere a feat accomplished by American legend Joe Kittinger in the 1960s.
- Ground Level: Plunging through the crust, discover how the Earth's inner heat breaks up this layer into multiple continental rafts, the tectonic plates.
- 1000 Feet Inside Earth: Broken strata and faulted layers created by the process of mountain building. See the awe inspiring effect of underground erosion inside the spectacular Carlsbad Caverns.
- 1.5 Miles Inside Earth: Float past seams of coal to understand the role the crust plays in conserving life on Earth. The crust is a vast reservoir of carbon. At Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp discover how coal is made.
- 2.5 Miles Inside Earth: Find gold in the deep-level mines of South Africa and discover life that can exist up to 7 miles inside Earth, surviving radiation and 130 degree heat, and living on nothing more than iron.
- 20 Miles Inside Earth: Glowing seams of red rock, pure iron ore, laid down in massive volumes by early photosynthesizing bacteria.
- 30 Miles Inside Earth: Cross the Moho, the boundary layer between crust and mantle. Discover the significance of this bizarre fudge-like layer and how it acts like a lubrication layer for plate tectonics. Walk along a beach made of Moho in Cornwall, England.
- 100 Miles Inside Earth: Dive deep into the mantle, full of convecting magma and diamond caverns.
- 1500 Miles Inside Earth: Find a place populated by awesome chemical horizons and magnificent mantle plumes 2000 mile high.
- 2000 Miles Inside Earth: Cross into the Core to discover how this moon-sized sphere of molten iron is the Earth's Great Magnet, generating a magnetic field that keeps humans safe from the lethal radiation of space...or is it? Evidence suggests the magnetic field is experiencing a significant wobble and could even be in the early stages of shut down. Mars and its history suggest what Earth would be like if the magnetosphere vanished.
- 3100 Miles Inside Earth: Underground metallic forests growing on the Inner Core, potted divots, and vast subterranean mountains.
- 3981 Miles Inside Earth: The Center of the Earth, where gravity is absent...
The Sun:
Nothing less than all life on earth gets its energy from the rays of the sun. Our very existence relies on the Sun's unique size, temperature, and location. Yet, with so much depending on it, you'd think we'd have a better understanding of this, our planet nearest star. The truth is that the Sun is still a mystery one that has always driven, and continues to drive, scientific inquiry and ingenuity. Why, against logic, is the sun atmosphere hotter than its surface? Why does its magnetic field reverse every 11 years? Why do the thousands of violent eruptions on its surface virtually and suddenly stop like clockwork every 70 years? And what will happen to Earth in 5 billion years when the sun consumes all its fuel, and burns out?
In this hour, we'll take a journey to the Sun using the latest technology, advances in astronomy, and cutting edge CGI. We'll ask scientists and experts to explain its mysteries and help us to understand the massive opposing forces of nature that hold it together. We'll see how it was born, exists today and finally, how our world will end when THE SUN consumes us all.
Faces of Earth (Building The Planet):
From the Pacific Northwest to the shores of the Atlantic seaboard, the breadth and scope of America is like no other place on Earth. The land we see today was shaped over hundreds of millions of years. Guided by leading geoscientists, and with the aid of dramatic special effects and animations, we unravel the mysteries of continent-building and the almost unimaginable span of geologic time. Using high tech science tools and even Ultralight aircraft, viewers will travel with geoscientists as we discover America's prominent geologic features and how they formed.
Sunrise Earth (Ep. 18: Edge of the Atlantic):
Coast Guard Beach, Cape Cod National Seashore, Massachusetts. From the place where the Mayflower made her first landfall in the New World, we stand at the beginning of what Henry David Thoreau called "The Great Beach." Here along the backside of Cape Cod, the sun's orb rises directly over an endless Atlantic Ocean swell. But not today, a day when the vestige of a fierce Atlantic storm sends a crashing surf onto the beach. Waves, wind, and sand dance together, alternately eroding the coastline and building the dunes back up. Shorebirds, seals, a lone surfer, and distant surfcasting fishermen search frigid waters for fish, as waves pound the shoreline slope.

The cardboard came in damp bales so it had to be pulped and re-fabricated locally. Nearly four thousand triangular components were assembled by folding strips to make triangular frames and inserting with fill pieces. The cells were glued together using a parametric computational map. The result is a cavern like space, intimate and sparse except the long cardboard table running the length of the installation. Chairs made from 180 wooden pallets and 252 leather cut offs complete the space. The acoustic properties of the cardboard skin add function to the meeting space as well, although the glare of lights seems to be a bit off mark.
The materiality of the cardboard and softness of the overall shape is an inviting non-pretentious alcove. The form and mass of the newly created space plays off well in the dull white interior. The project was developed to inspire employees to rethink what they take for granted – a common theme it seems this past year. It is also interesting how the cardboard, known for its strength and ubiquity, can also be used for space making and sound control, upping the stakes of the capacity of the brown stuff.

McLaren may have had the upper hand in recent races, but Force India team principal Vijay Mallya insists they can still catch them.
Having found themselves ahead of McLaren during the early stages of the season, the Silverstone squad have lost their way recently as they have picked up only three points in five races while their rivals have scored 39 points in the same time.
That means McLaren are now 14 points ahead of Force India in the Constructors' Championship, but Mallya believes they have more than enough time to get their act together and reclaim fifth place in the standings.
"The objective has not changed. McLaren have a points lead over us, but they are not totally out of reach," he said.
"As I've said before, turning on the tyres is paramount and we are working hard to achieve this. There are a lot of points on offer and we need to try and regain the performance level we showed in the first part of the season."
Adrian Sutil scored the team's lone point at Singapore last time out, but the squad are determined to bounce back in Korea this week despite struggling there in the past.
"It's never been our strongest track, although we did score some points there last year," Mallya said.
"It's quite low-grip and the cooler temperatures make it a very different challenge. We will go there ready to learn as much as possible, try and improve our qualifying pace and come up with a smart strategy for Sunday."

Macedonia looking for a few geniuses
SKOPJE, Macedonia — Macedonia's health minister is looking for assistants — but they have to be certified geniuses.
Nikola Todorov's ministry announced Thursday that it needs seven to 10 advisers, to consult once or twice a month for a daily fee of 3,000 to 5,000 denars ($64-100).

I wonder if Wandy is really going to put some money on Shogun!?In the days leading up to UFC Fight Night 26, where he fights Rua at TD Garden in Boston, Sonnen has said publicly he wants Silva next. However, he doesn't believe the Brazilian would ever put pen to paper and sign a bout agreement.
For someone on a two-fight losing streak, Silva believes Sonnen is in no position to make assumptions as to what fights he would or would not accept.
"This is a joke he's a clown," Silva told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) in response to Sonnen's statements. "He's a second-level fighter. He's not Top 10 he's not a top fighter. He can't say anything about that because he's not in the position. His results don't give him the right to talk like that."
Before any real conversations regarding the potential grudge match can be had, Sonnen must first get past Rua, a former UFC light heavyweight champion who is eager to get back in the win column after losing to top contender Alexander Gustafsson this past December.
Rua is a dangerous opponent with a legitimate chance of handing Sonnen his third consecutive defeat, something Silva is so certain will take place that he is willing to wager a significant amount of money on it.
"'Shogun' can beat him anywhere. In the standup or on the ground he can submit and he can knock out," Silva said. "I don't see any chance for Sonnen in that fight. I don't gamble, but I talked to my wife. I want to put $100,000 on 'Shogun.'"
While Silva has an obvious bias towards Rua due to their close relationship, he believes a gap in skill will be too much for Sonnen to overcome and believes the level of violence his countryman brings to the table will not only be enough to get the win, but perhaps force the 36-year-old Sonnen into retirement.
"'Shogun' is going to hurt him," he said. "I think it's maybe going to be Sonnen's last fight. He's not going to fight after that fight anymore."
The main event of Saturday's fight card from TD Garden in Boston is "Shogun" vs. Sonnen. But as UFC President Dana White said Thursday, Silva was originally offered the slot opposite Sonnen, but turned it down due to injury.
While Silva wouldn't have been fit to fight at Saturday's event, he revealed he is now back to proper health and eyeing a return to the cage by the end of 2013.
"I had a problem with my sciatic in this last fight and the pain comes, the pain goes," Silva said. "I don't have that problem anymore and I'm ready to get back."
Silva knows fans are clamoring to see him sort out his differences with Sonnen inside the octagon, and regardless of the outcome against Rua, "The Axe Murderer" is eager to give the people what they want.
But more than anything, he finally wants to settle the score with Sonnen and make him regret ever speaking ill of him.
"When I fight with him, it's going to be a great fight, it's going to be a good match," Silva said. "But when I fight with him, he's going to know what's going to happen.
"I'm not going to just fight. I'm going to hurt him."

We have all heard the talk for the past couple of years: December 21st, 2012 is the day the world will end. YNN's Bill Carey says if you put off Christmas shopping, putting all your money into a big pre-apocalyptic vacation, you probably made a mistake.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- If you're surfing the web this Saturday, NASA hopes you come across its newest video.
"If you're watching this video, it means one thing. The world didn't end yesterday."
NASA has led the campaign to try to convince people that all this talk of an end to the world on Friday is just talk. All based on a misinterpretation of the Mayan Calendar. That calendar reached the end Friday, but even the descendants of the Mayans living in present day Mexico say all that means is you go back to the beginning and start again.
People behind the "end of the world" claim have different scenarios. One has a planet, long hidden by the sun, suddenly careening into the Earth.
The problem is we should have seen the planet heading our way by now. But, the proponents have an explanation for all that. They say all of the people manning all of the telescopes around the world are involved in a massive cover up.
"Can you imagine thousands of astronomers who observe the skies on a nightly basis keeping the same secret from the public for several years?" said Don Yeomans, NASA Near Earth Program.
Other theories are that the Earth will suddenly roll over in its orbit. Not possible, say scientists. Or that its magnetic poles will shift. That takes thousands of years to happen and the only effect is to make some compasses obsolete. Oh and did we mention massive solar flares? No indication of any apocalyptic outbursts, so far.
Intellectually, we all realize these claims are silly, but such predictions are nothing new. Various groups and religions have prophesied an "end of times" again and again over thousands of years.
"Maybe it's a kind of, to use a Freudian concept, a death wish. In other words, sometimes, maybe, I think people want this all to end. I mean that's a pretty harsh thing to say, but, I mean, why would people be so passionate about expecting, and almost hoping, for the prophesy to come true," said Darryl Caterine, Le Moyne College Religious Historian.
So, the evidence is clear. The world is not going away on Friday. But if Jon Cusack shows up at your house Friday with a limousine? What the heck, get in.
There has been something of an economic boost from all this talk about the end of the world. Various stores are reporting a big jump in sales of so-called "survival kits" and manufacturers of "pre-formed" underground shelters report their business has been up substantially.

When I was involved in socialist politics many years ago, some of us thought that the need to establish a black caucus, or an ethnic minority only group, unnecessary. Devisive. Irrelevent to the cause.
Likewise, a feminist splinter group. We had a common goal after all and our shared humanity.
And this would have been my initial reaction to a "people of color sangha"
But I think Mr Smith may be serving a need here. And it is a pretty brave attempt, given the "Buddhist" brickbats which will surely befall him.
What do you think?

This table was exactly what I wanted! I was looking for a slim table that would fit in-between my 2 recliners. Easy to put together. Looks amazing. My 2 children and husband noticed it right away and loved it. Can't beat the price! Easily compares to the small tables sold at one of the major furniture/recliner stores but for a fraction of the price.
Cheap table, but I suppose it's worth the low price I paid. It is for a gift for my elderly mother. It does not sit squarely,...wobbles.
It was very easy to put together. Color matched great with other furniture. Fits perfectly.
I was impressed by the quality and appearance of the product. It is exactly what I want and at a great price. Once assembled, however, it was a little wobbly. That is entirely likely due to my inability to construct it perfectly, but that was the only downfall. I am very happy with the table so far.
We needed a small side table to complete the furnishings in a large room. The table is exactly like the picture. It fits right into our room and matches the other pieces we have, as the table has straight lines and deep, rich stain. It's a great table for the money! We are very happy with this purchase!
This is not a bad table if priced properly. Worth about half of what was charged.
This is a pretty table and is exactly what I needed in my den. It was super easy to assemble. I was disappointed in the quality, though. Overstock almost never sends less than A+ . The legs' edges are a bit rough and there was a tiny chip on one of the corners, however, if you don't examine it too closely, it looks nice and serves the purpose as a resting place for my books, magazines and TV remote.
This is what I expected, and I am happy to have made the purchase. The color is perhaps a bit darker than the word "cappuccino" suggested to me, but is pretty consistent with the picture. Shipped quick, assembled in minutes, does the job as a pleasant occasional table to fill in a space in my office at a pretty good price.
I needed a small side table to fit between 2 leather reclining chairs. This one looked perfect. The size and color are fine but the quality of the workmanship is poor. The table top has some minor scratches but the legs are the worst part. One is quite visibly scratched/dented and the finish of the inside of the legs is bad. The inside of the legs is quite visible when the light shines on the table. I would not recommend this product. I seriously considered returning it but I had already assembled it and it looked like too much trouble to take it apart and try to figure out how to put it back in the box it came in.
Ordered on the 1st...arrived on the 4th! Perfect for the space. Just as pictured. Easy to assemble.

The cervical spine is the part of the spine in your neck. The spinal cord sits inside a tunnel created by the vertebrae (bones making up the spine). It is also protected by a soft layer of tissue called the dura. The epidural space is the area between the boney canal and the dura layer of the spinal cord.
An epidural injection is a procedure to deliver medicine into this epidural space. The medicine may include an anesthetic that will numb the pain and a steroid that can decrease swelling and irritation.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
An epidural injection may be done if you have pain in your neck and upper limb that is not responding to conservative treatment, such as oral medicines and physical therapy.
Damage to local joints or discs of the spine can irritate the nerves exiting the spinal cord. This can cause inflammation around the nerves, which leads to pain. The pain may be in the neck or may travel down to the shoulders and arms, and even to the hands and fingers.
The injection may provide relief for a few weeks or even a couple months depending on the exact cause of pain.
This procedure may help manage the pain until the injury that caused the nerve irritation has time to heal.
Potential problems are rare. But, all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
may increase your risk of complications.
Your doctor may not want to do this injection if you have:
Talk to your doctor about these risks before the procedure.
Your doctor may begin with conservative treatment, such as rest, medicine, physical therapy, and exercise.
Before the procedure, your doctor may:
In addition, talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may have to stop taking some medicines up to one week or more before the procedure, like:
Additional considerations include:
You will be awake during this procedure. A local anesthetic will be used to numb the skin before the injection. Your doctor may also give you medicine to help you relax.
You may have devices attached to help monitor your blood pressure, heart, and oxygen levels. You will be asked to lie on your stomach or side on an x-ray table or sit in a chair. The skin around the injection site will be cleansed. A local anesthetic will be given to numb the area.
The doctor will inject a contrast dye. This dye will help highlight the area to guide the needle. This is done using a type of x-ray called fluoroscopy. Next, when the doctor has reached the epidural space, the steroid will be delivered.
The nurse will place a small bandage over the injection site. You may be able to go home after being observed by the nurses.
The injection only takes a few minutes. The entire procedure may be 30-60 minutes.
There is local discomfort as the numbing medicine first goes in. But the rest of the procedure should not be painful. Once the injected anesthetic wears off, you may have some discomfort.
Your doctor will assess your level of pain relief.
When you return home, take these steps:
If you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar levels more carefully a few weeks after an injection. The medicine that was injected may cause elevated blood sugar levels.
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
If you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Obama Calls Out GOP on Benghazi Smears, Pushes House on Middle-Class Tax Break
Photo Credit: whitehouse.gov screen shot
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This article was published in partnership with GlobalPossibilities.org.
In yet another demonstration of the changed tone he debuted in his election-night victory speech, President Barack Obama, in his first press conference since winning re-election, both challenged his opponents to act in the interest of the overwhelming majority of Americans, and castigated two high-profile senators for launching a media campaign against the possible nomination of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to head the State Department when Hillary Clinton leaves the post. He also dinged his former rival for the presidency, Mitt Romney, with faint praise.
Asked by ABC News' Jonathan Karl to respond to calls from Senators John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-Ga., for a "Watergate-style investigation" into the events surrounding the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the president's expression hardened as he addressed the media campaign the two have waged against Rice. Republicans have targeted Rice because of statements she made on the Sunday talk shows following the attack that it appeared to be a spontaneous action triggered by the same anti-Islam video that set off a mob in Egypt that same week.
After first praising Rice for her work as the U.S. representative to the U.N., Obama, speaking in the East Room of the White House (video here), issued a dare to the two senators.
"If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me -- and I'm happy to have that discussion with them," Obama replied. "But for them to go after the U.N. ambassador, who had nothing to do with Benghazi and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received, and to besmirch her reputation is outrageous...when they go after the U.N. ambassador, apparently because they think she's an easy target, then they've got a problem with me."
The implication was that the two were focusing on Rice because she's a woman. (She's also African American.)
Obama went on to say that he has not decided who should replace Clinton if, as expected, she resigns as secretary of state, but wouldn't hesitate to nominate Rice if he thought she was the best person for the job.
The exchange is significant because Obama's new, sterner tone reflects not only the broader latitude any president has in a second term, but also the post-election makeup of the Senate. The Republicans took a shellacking in the 2012 elections, with the Democrats making a net gain of two seats despite an electoral advantage for the Republicans, who had only 10 seats up for election, compared to the Democrats' 23.
Asked whether he intended to enlist Romney's help in shaping policy on the economy, the president noted that he admired some things about the former Massachusetts governor's record. "I do think he did a terrific job running the Olympics," Obama said. "And you know, that skill set of trying to figure out how do we make something work better applies to the federal government." Romney once boasted of getting more federal help for the Salt Lake City Olympics he oversaw than any other Olympics held on U.S. soil. Much of that money was invested in roads and infrastructure, with labor provided by union workers.
Climate Change and Immigration
Fielding a question from Lori Montenegro of Telemundo, Obama named comprehensive immigration reform as a priority, as well as passage of the DREAM Act, which would allow a path to citizenship for people who were raised in the U.S. by parents who were undocumented immigrants.
"This has not historically been a partisan issue," Obama said of comprehensive immigration reform. "We've had President Bush, John McCain and others who have supported comprehensive immigration reform in the past. So we need to seize the moment... And in fact, some conversations, I think, are already beginning to take place among senators and congressmen and my staff about what would this look like." He said that he expected to see a bill introduced not long after his inauguration.

After the overly stressful day I had in cyberspace and in real life, I did not feel like cooking on Thursday. So, I ordered Chipotle for my husband and Noodles and Co. for myself. Noodles was great, as usual. Here's the email I ended up sending to Chipotle regarding my experience there...
I am extremely disappointed in the service I received at the Algonquin store this evening. My husband and I adore your burritos and chips and salsa, but after tonight's events, I may have to rethink my preferences. I placed an order online for pickup at 5:25pm. I arrived at the store at 5:27 pm (according to my watch). When I arrived, I went to the register and asked for my order. The cashier looked to the wall where the tickets were posted and called for another employee while they hurriedly made my order. When they bagged my food, they tried to ring up the order when I informed them that I had already paid when I ordered online. I then asked for the extra salsa that I had requested in the order and asked why the order wasn't ready when I arrived. They gave the excuse that they like to have it fresh and hot. While I appreciate their concern for the quality of the food, I informed them that the point of ordering ahead is for the food to be ready when the customer arrives. If I was concerned about how hot my food was, I would order it when I arrived at the store. I asked to speak with the manager. When the manager came out, he apologized but gave the same excuse about having the food hot and fresh. At this point, I had to ask twice more for my extra salsa. When they finally gave it to me, I left. When I arrived home and started to eat my chips and salsa. I noticed that the salsa tasted as though the tomatoes were rotten! This has to have been the worst experience I have ever had in one of your stores and I think it will be a long time before I set foot in it again. I work too hard for my money to throw it away on rotten food and terrible service.
Here's their reply...
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am sorry that your online order with our Algonquin restaurant on Thursday was not ready for you at the specified time. Online ordering is a convenient option designed for customers who would rather bypass the wait in line. Therefore, you should never have to wait for your order to be made upon arrival. I can also imagine your frustration with having our team make excuses for your order not being ready on time, along with having to request several times for your salsa. Additionally, our salsa should never taste rotten, as it is make fresh, twice daily. I will communicate these issues with the folks who oversee this location and make sure that our online orders are being completed by the designated time and that we are serving simply the freshest ingredients.
I would like redeem your order by sending you a couple free burrito cards and a free chip & guac card (good for salsa too). Simply send me your mailing address and I will get those out to you shortly. Rest assured, your feedback and satisfaction is important to us, and your next order will be top-notch!
Thanks for your patience.
See? That's how customer service is supposed to be! Some of the businesses we complain about here should take note.
***Update 9/11/10***
Chipotle has not send me the promised cards. See my next review with this company.

I love eating at Chipotle one of my fave Burrito places. Glad Chipotle made things right.
clutzycook on 08/21/2010:
Me too, wally. I haven't eaten there much this summer since I've been on WW, but with free burrito cards coming (hopefully), I might have to have a "naughty eating day" and have one :).

The Burritos are huge and filling. I dunno why they charge almost 2 bucks for some Guac or salasa though.
Alain on 08/22/2010:
Great to see a problem corrected as it should be, Clutzy!
Ytropious on 08/22/2010:
Wow, a COUPLE of free burritos, that's good stuff!
raven2010 on 08/22/2010:
Glad to see good customer service is a focus of this place. I LOVE their burritos.
And I agree, why order ahead if they are going to wait until you get there to make the food??
clutzycook on 08/22/2010:
That's what I was trying to explain to them, raven. I don't know if there was a language or an intelligence barrier in place there, but after the day I had on Thursday, I was in no mood to break it down into small syllables for them.
Alain on 09/12/2010:
They promised the cards. Time for them to deliver.

Smaller Portions Continue to Get Smaller!
Posted by
LAKE FOREST BETWEEN ROCKFIELD AND EL TORO, CALIFORNIA -- I have been a fan of Chipotle ever since I discovered them back several years ago. I used to eat there at least once per week for lunch. What caught my attention was the taste and size of portions. It was a bit pricey, but I thought that the size and taste compensated for the price. About six months ago I started noticing how the portions of the rice and beef where getting smaller and smaller. I talked it over with couple of my coworkers and they all agreed to my finding. So, I knew it wasn't me over reacting. Today 12-26-13 after not trying Chipotle for over 6 months I decided to give it another chance. To my surprise, the portions were smaller than before. I guess I should have been thankful for experiencing large portions at one point in this restaurant.

Boycott Chipotle Until The VP Washes My Car Seat
Posted by
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA -- On 6/6/12 at around 2:30pm I purchased a burrito bowl. when I got home I lifted the bag and there is a stain that made me think I spilled the bag. I looked and the bag had been upright along with the product. There were no signs of spilling over the top either or around the edge of the bowl. What I did notice was the bottom of the bowl was leaking. I took it back and asked for the store manager his name was Ben. He inspected it said it doesn't happen a lot but it looks like I got a defective bowl. I explained it leaked on my car seat cover and asked what they would do about it. he looked confused. I asked about getting it spot cleaned and being repaid the cost. He said he would need the GM to authorize that, he couldn't. I asked how I would get ahold of him and Ben went and got Patrick who also admitted the bowl looked defective as it had no damage or obvious holes but was leaking and soggy. He said he could replace the bowl as there are health issues with serving it like that but he could do nothing about the car. I asked his name and the other guys name so I could take this further and he handed me his card then walked away without saying anything. He didn't even care enough to look at the seat or that we were really talking about a few dollars to spot clean the seat an I would be fronting the cost.

Have you tried emailing corporate? They've been pretty responsive any time I've had to contact them. That being said, I wouldn't hold your breath on getting them to pay to have your seat cleaned.
FoDaddy19 on 06/07/2012:
I think it's just an inherent risk that goes with ordering food that comes in a bowl or cup. I would doubt if they are going to pay to have your seat cleaned.
KevinTX on 06/07/2012:
I agree with FoDaddy... putting food in your car seat has a risk of spillage.
Of course, even if you put it on the floor you'd have a stained floor mat.. so hmm, not a win win either way :)

MEDINA, OHIO -- The employees were just rude to me. I felt like I wasn't welcome there. Also, I felt like half of them smelled like alcohol and drugs. I don't know if the managers are okaying them to do so, but I feel like that's against the law and company policies. I would like this place to be invested or shut down. I will never return back to this company again until I know that the managers and employees are clean. Also, I overheard one of the employees talking about doing drugs at the work place. I cannot believe the manager was allowing them to talk about it at a work place.

RESOLVED: Overpriced and unfairly portioned
Posted by
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- I stopped by today to grab lunch to go before work, and ordered my usual steak burrito minus rice and beans. Keep in mind this is not my first time visiting Chipotle. Today the girl making my burrito put an insanely small amount of steak on my burrito. I asked her if the portions got smaller. She said "No, it looks like less because theres no rice and beans on it". That was the silliest thing I've ever heard because I order the same thing all the time and this was the first time out of all my visits I could actually count the pieces of steak. Anyway I asked how much it would be for extra steak and she said 2.75!!! I said no thank you and almost thought about cancelling the whole order but there were people behind me. The gentleman behind me even had to ask for more beans on his burrito bowl so it wasn't just my imagination that the portions were being rationed more than usual. I guess I am complaining because when a burrito is 6.00, you would expect a decent size amount of meat. I will go to another location in Jax and compare and if it's still a half scoop of meat I'll just go to Taco Bell from now on.
UPDATE: I received a very nice email from corporate regarding this experience. It is as follows:
Thank you for writing to us. I'm sorry we skimped on the amount of steak we added to your burrito the other day. We have not, as a company, instructed our servers to reduce portion sizes so we'll contact our Orange Park restaurant to ensure they're offering the appropriate portions.
For your troubles, we'd like to cover your next meal with us. If you reply with your mailing address, I'll send out one of our burrito bucks (good for any of our meals). I'm confident, the next time you dine with us, your meal will be hearty and delicious.
We look forward to serving you again soon!
Joel Bond | Marketing Consultant
Chipotle Mexican Grill
I was very happy that they took the time to reply to me. A lot of these emails to companies go unanswered. I haven't had the chance to go back to Chipotle yet, but I will soon and will do another review regarding the portions.

Eh I can see where your coming from. I love Chipotle, but I order the same thing every time, a chicken burrito with just rice and cheese. Every time it seems like a different size, and it is. It looks like they just eyeball portion size for meat so if you have someone with a big eye you get more meat. They don't have time to weigh portions out so it's just how it has to be.
Jrodriguezfl on 08/23/2010:
Thanks Ytropious! Yeah, it was just my observation that during my last visit the portion was unreasonably small. From most servers putting a whole scoop of meat versus barely a half scoop in my last visit. Like I said, I could could eight little pieces of steak, and I was really shocked.

Where Will I Change My Child There???
Posted by
ALL ARE WITHOUT -- Why aren't there any changing tables in any of your restaurant locations? That is really not "mommy friendly". Picture this, I have my nine month old son with me and I am almost through my delicious meal at Chipotle when all of a sudden my son has dirtied his diaper. I would think to myself, "I'm sure they have a changing table, everyone nowadays has one in their facilities....why wouldn't they, a multi million dollar company can surely afford a changing table right?" Well to my surprise NO, there is nothing. I have to resort to sitting on the toilet, put my son on my lap laying down and try to change his poopy diaper as quickly and cleanly as possible. Now you give that a shot and see how fun that is! As I did some research I found out that the Founder, Ceo and Co-Ceo are all males, maybe that has something to do with the fact that it never even crossed anyones mind to add changing tables in the restrooms. You know what the saddest part of this story is? Well before I had my son, it never even dawn on me that you did not have them in you restaurant. Now that I would need them it has become as obvious as day, and it is not pleasant to change your child in that such way. I absolutely love Chipotle; my family and I eat there about four times a month, if not more. I would hate to have to stop eating there over a silly little issue that can be resolved in a matter of days, and I am sure there are many mothers (and fathers) out there that feel the same way I do.
Please add changing tables to your bathrooms, why would you not? Wal-mart has them, McDonnald's has them every restaurant has them....so tell me, why would you not?

When my children were young, there was no such thing, I had to leave my husband in charge of some of the kids and take whoever needed changed out to the vehicle, plenty of room on the back seat...seat belts and carseats were not a requirement at that time....wouldn't dream of doing that now with carseats and other supplies in the vehicle, not to mention the crazies out there who try to carjack you.
BokiBean on 01/31/2009:
You're serious, aren't you? You honestly expect eating establishments to put changing tables in so you can lay your kid out in all his glory (not to mention the smell) in a public bathroom? Get real! Dirty diapers are disgusting, and a lot of people don't want to see them in the middle of or after a nice meal. Get a grip. BTW, I'm female..so don't even go there.
Either change your kid in the car, leave him at home with a babysitter or do your fellow diners a favor and quit eating there. Changing stations aren't a requirement, they are optional.
madconsumer on 01/31/2009:
wasn't there a floor? you do carry a blanket of some type correct with you right?
if you ate there so often, then you previously knew of the changing table arrangements, was it never an issue before?
flipper on 01/31/2009:
I agree with CristalSword. When my kids were small there was no such thing as a changing table. Your best bet would be go out to your car. It's probably more sanitary than any changing table.
jktshff1 on 01/31/2009:
I am an old male, been there, done that (and thrown up while I was doing it), got the t-shirt, I've changed my kids in the front seat of the car.
I'm usually the last one to gripe about gender discrimination
but lady, you take the cake.
Nohandle on 01/31/2009:
BA and most reasonable response goes to Crystal on this one. Those changing stations are a courtesy provided by some establishments, not a requirement. I'm for putting them in the men's room for a change and let them enjoy the pleasure of the experience. I've yet to see a mother wrap up a soiled diaper and put it in a zip bag. They just toss it on the floor, in the trash or wherever.
Anonymous on 01/31/2009:
I read CrystalSword's comment to mean she would NOT change her child out in the car in today's world, and I agree with her.
It may not be a requirement to have changing stations, but it IS a convenience and restaurants should be with the times by now and have them. I don't have children and it doesn't bother me a bit to walk in and see a parent changing their kid, it's part of life.
jktshff1 on 01/31/2009:
Yep Crystal, best answer.
But she is not complaining about the lack of a place to change the kid or blaming someone for that.
Next thing you know, they are going to be pushing for a "private" space to breast feed.
CrystalSword on 01/31/2009:
30 - 40 years ago, it was common to see a parent changing a child in the car....my mom did it, I'm sure grandma did it, but in today's world, it's just to dangerous.
Maybe the changing table isn't a requirement but they are convenient. As far as leaving diapers lay about...I have diaper diaposal bags in my pockets at all times...you can buy a convenient box of 100 for a buck at Dollar Tree in the baby section. I use them for cleaning up after the dogs....very handy, cheap and every parent should have some for diapers. Back in the day, parking lots were littered with disposable diapers, as well as a few cloth ones....it's not a new problem!
jkt....you can sit in a restaurant BOOTH and nurse a baby discreetly...its part of life! A light weight blanket hides all....sheesh...what did YOUR mama do when YOU were a baby??
GenuineNerd on 01/31/2009:
It's only in recent years that I've started to see those "Koala Bear Kare" changing tables in restrooms. Some Wal-Marts even have vending machines for disposable diapers and baby wipes. I assume that parents changed their babies in the car or on the sink in the restroom before those "Koala Bear Kare" tables started appearing. And used disposable diapers still end up in the trash.
GenuineNerd on 01/31/2009:
Breastfeeding, which more and more mothers do, is controversial because the female breast has been sexualized. It is possible to hide the breast under a blouse or sweater when breastfeeding in a public place, and I feel that women have the right to breastfeed wherever they please. However many women don't breastfeed in public places because they don't want men staring at their exposed breast.
jktshff1 on 01/31/2009:
It's controversial because the people complaining about it are idiots. A little modesty helps, but the last thing I find sexy is a kid on a boob.
BokiBean on 02/01/2009:
They make portable changing stations that any mother can buy if she feels that they are absolutely necessary. Keep it in the trunk, use it when you need it.
If this poster wants one, she can buy one, but trying to blackmail this restaurant with her business is a bit beyond the pale. Why should they with a changing station for her kid if she hasn't?
And if its too dangerous to be going to your own car to change the baby, then its probably just safer to leave him at home, because they're going to have to pull up and take the time to get him out of the car seat, then when they finish eating, put him back in the car seat, etc on their way out.... and apparently, that would be "dangerous" too.
Sparticus on 02/01/2009:
I bet if you whipped out a disposable changing pad and did the diaper on the table out in the restaurant, they would get some changing stations installed very fast! ;-)
BokiBean on 02/01/2009:
hedra on 02/01/2009:
jktshff1, if my child needed to eat right away I would not be too worried about a "private" space to breast feed. I would just pull it out and pop it in.... as for changing him in the car I have done that, many times. And you may all confine your children at home but mine is stuck to my hip, where I go, he goes......oh n who changes their child on the floor? Even if it is on top of their balnket....so you can turn around and cover him up with the same blanket you just had on the floor????
*Brenda* on 02/02/2009:
hedra, I think you're completely right. I hope they consider your suggestion!!
BokiBean on 02/02/2009:
Hedra's completely right in the way that only a person who pulls the gender card, "they're all males", to someone who claims to eat there 4 times and month and suddenly decides she won't eat there anymore if they don't stand on their heads for her...that kind of right.

Unconcerned With Customer Satisfaction. Here's Proof
Posted by
MINNEAPOLIS -- I ate at Chipotle 3 weeks ago. My wife and I had been sent a "free burrito" coupon and we both ordered the vegetarian burrito bowl. My wife finished hers at the restaurant and I finished half and brought the rest home. Later that evening when I was finishing it I bit into something foul tasting and soft. It was a piece of already chewed gum (mint). Absolutely disgusting! I reported this to the restaurant manager who referred me to their liability law firm, Gallagher and Associates. Gallagher asked me send in the remainder of the food along with the gum, which I did. They called today to offer me a settlement: we'll reimburse you for the price of your meal - $7.49.
I was floored. It's not like I found a twist tie or a piece of a plastic fork in my food, I found something that's been in contact with body fluids and who knows what else. Was it also on the bathroom floor or in the garbage can? The point being, I highly doubt Chipotle's CEO, or anyone for that matter, would take $7.49 to put a piece of already been chewed gum that's been who knows where in their mouth. I told them that I wasn't interested in profiting from this, but that the compensation offered was disrespectful considering the nature of the incident: I patronized their business (isn't that what they wanted by sending me the coupon?) and paid for my meal only to have the most primary and basic expectation of restaurant dining breached: that my food was clean and safe. When I explained this to the claims clerk, she said yeah, I understand but that's all I'm going to offer.
Also, she said that had this occurred on the premises instead of at home, then I would have been offered a higher compensation. And having it occur on the premises vs. at home makes it more verifiable how exactly (I could have thrown a piece of gum into my food)? Needless to say, I think it speaks loudly of where this company's priorities lie.

'I told them that I wasn't interested in profiting from this,...' Then why was the amount of $7.49 they offered 'disrespectful?' If there were seven zeroes after the last figure, would that earn your 'respect?' I don't think I'd like to chomp down on a piece of gum in my food either, but c'mon, cut the give me grab while denying that's what you had in mind.
Anonymous on 06/13/2008:
Your complaint makes it painfully obvious that you were looking for financial compensation. How much would have been enough to earn your respect? $7.49? $74.90? $749.00? Should I keep going?
Slimjim on 06/13/2008:
Disgusting as it is, you have no real damages to speak of outside of a ruined meal, which they are refunding. I think a $20 voucher or something a tad higher than just the one plate may have been nice, but perhaps they just aren't convinced the gum was there all along and don't want to do anything else.
samtheman on 06/13/2008:
It's your word against theirs. The representative you spoke to is right, since you didn't find the gum while in the restaurant, your complaint holds little water. How do they know you didn't get your food home and slip the gum in there yourself? It's difficult to see that side of the coin, but in our litigious society there has to be some protection against frivolous lawsuits.
Anonymous on 06/13/2008:
Indeed because nobody could slip gum into their food whilst in the restaurant this can only be accomplished in the privacy of ones home with the shades closed and under the cover of nightfall. :)
I don't think I'd ever eat at Chipotle again. They sound too gnarly for my taste. Good review.

GAMBRILLS, MARYLAND -- Took my mom there for her first visit and we felt very rushed. They put wrong ingredients on our bowls. When we asked them to change employee rolled her eyes and made smart comment. I asked to speak with the manager. I told her the situation she said she would speak with her. We went to find a table which was dirty and the whole time we were there manager never spoke with employee. This is not how I wanted my moms first time being there to end up.

If the manager was any good they wouldn't be speaking with the employee in the front of the restaurant. They would pull them aside away from the public eye to give them their talking to. It could be that the manager was planning on addressing it later in the day when there weren't customers to take care of.

Vegetarians Beware
Posted by
The Customer Service Advisor
On 12/08/10, I ate at the Chipotle in Oak Brook, IL on 22nd St.
I asked to speak with the manager. She was a very short (4'11" Hispanic woman). I am a vegetarian and wanted guacamole tacos. In the past, when I have asked for quacamole tacos, I have ended up with very soggy tomato tacos with a garnish of guacamole. That wasn't what I wanted. I wanted guacamole tacos. So, I told her what I wanted. I wanted an order of tacos. That isn't what she charged me for (unbeknownst to me at the time). She charged me for two tacos, when I expected to get three. At no time did I tell her I wanted to buy my tacos individually. I was charged $2.20 per taco + $1.80 for guacamole (for a total of $6.71 with tax). The guacamole was the main ingredient for my vegetarian tacos. It was not like I was asking for extra garnish. When someone buys meat tacos you do not charge extra for the meat. When I left I was starving and had to go eat lunch someplace else.
Also, the parking spots in the parking spots only left about 14" in between cars. If I lived close to that location, I wouldn't go there anyway, because the chances of your car getting dinged are extremely high.
How is a vegetarian supposed to get what they order and not be overcharged?

What exactly does the woman's height have to do with anything. I'm not sure what they put in a veggie taco but I do know that Chipotles charges us carnivores extra for guacamole. Is it normally included in a veggie dish?
Anonymous on 12/09/2010:
If I understand your review right, you wanted to substitute the main ingredient, meat, for guacamole (a guac taco) and are upset b/c you were charged regular price for a meat taco and extra for the guac. And that this is not an actual item on their menu. Is that right? Do they have an actual veggie taco on their menu?
Not familiar with Chipotle, but can only assume they don't do substitutions like that and that's why you were charged the way you were.
jktshff1 on 12/09/2010:
guacamole is a separate item on the menu (with chips). You were ordering a "side" if you will of guacamole, therefore the additional charge. When you choose a lifestyle, you sometimes have to pay more. IE an organic only lawn, garden or diet will definitely cost you more than "off the shelf" non organic will.
momsey on 12/09/2010:
Avocados are expensive. I would think to have a taco stuffed with guac rather than meat would be a special order and would cost more. How much are tacos normally?
rockfishing on 12/09/2010:
If you don't want to be overcharged for being a vegetarian then simply go to a vegetarian restaurant. Since there is no guacamole tacos you simply got a regular beef taco without the meat and extra guacamole. Since the poor woman behind the counter had no other way to document your special order you got what you asked for. You still have to pay for the beef even though you did not want it and you had to pay for the extra guacamole. Otherwise the woman behind the counter would have to pay for it. Plus your special order caused extra labor. It's your choice not to eat meat and request special meals, you have to pay for it.
andbran on 12/10/2010:
why not just go to a restuarant that is vegetarian?

They Lied
Posted by
ALGONQUIN, ILLINOIS -- So, three weeks ago I posted a compliment for the restaurant about a negative experience and their positive response. Here it is three weeks later and I'm still waiting for them to come through with their promised gift cards. I waited two weeks before responding to corporate about the lack of cards. The following day (this past Monday), the manager of the store in question called me and was falling all over himself in apologizes about the poor service and he promised to send me the aforementioned gift cards. I gave him my address and waited patently to no avail. Even with the holiday, the absolute latest the cards should have arrived in my mailbox was yesterday or today. While I am not specifically angling to get free food, the service was poor and they have promised to make good. I'm just trying to get them to hold up their end of the bargain.
Resolution Update 09/14/2010:
Although I never received a word from Chipotle corporate, I did receive the promised gift cards in the mail this afternoon. No apology for taking so long, but I'm sure that my complaint on Saturday had something to do with me getting what was promised to me 8 days after I spoke with the manager and over 3 weeks after I was contacted by corporate.

You complemented a negative experience? If your not specifically angling to get free food, does that mean you are unspecifically angling to get free food?
clutzycook on 09/11/2010:
werelucky, I complimented how the company handled the complaint about the negative experience. And while I will appreciate getting some free food, my main reason for pushing this issue is that if a company promised to make good on an issue, they should do so and not just pay lip service to the customer. They said they would do something, and I am doing my best to ensure that they do so.
Venice09 on 09/11/2010:
The only thing worse than not getting a response from a company is when the company doesn't follow through on its promise. It makes the customer feel tricked and deceived.
I don't see anything wrong with complimenting a company on how it handled a complaint, and then complaining that the company didn't follow through. If clutzy was offered the gift cards before writing the compliment, then why would the compliment be considered angling for free food? And why wouldn't she now complain that the manager didn't make good on his promise?

clutzy, is the restaurant far away? Couldn't you just go pick them up?

The restaurant is in the same town that I live in but I would rather that they not get a look at me in case they decide to add a few ingredients to my burrito if you catch my drift.

Good grief. I hate it when businesses do this. I had a similar issue with Olive garden years ago.
I didn't ask for a gift card; it was offered then never arrived. Needles to say, after following up twice I gave up and just don't eat there any longer.

I agree, raven. I think it would have almost been better if Chipotle hadn't ever responded to my complaint in the first place. Then I would know for a fact that they don't give a flying fart.

A third-generation addict is on a one-way path to self-destruction, continuing a tragic family history of substance abuse.
- Reality TV at its most unvarnished and gripping.
- Watch as addicts and their families confront the compulsions that are destroying their lives.
- Chuckie was literally born addicted to heroin. Can he overcome this terrible heritage?
In INTERVENTION, people confront their darkest demons and seek a route to redemption. From compulsive gamblers to shopaholics, drug addicts to young people estranged from their families, INTERVENTION features real people at the breaking point as they are confronted by friends and family. In fly-on-the-wall style, INTERVENTION captures the drama as people grapple with their demons in an attempt to chart a course to recovery.
Joy to the World may have been his father's biggest hit, but there has been little joy in Chuckie's disastrous life. With drugs all around him - even in his own blood - from the moment of birth, Chuckie at 28 is, as his brother puts it, the dictionary definition of addiction.
He is now the last remnant of his family's sad legacy, the only one still unable to get clean. In a desperate effort to save Chuckie and redeem their family, his loved ones set out to undo decades of damage with an INTERVENTION.
Is there still time for Chuckie to fulfill any of his great promise? Is the family too late?
