The food was good, my waiter wasn't very knowledgable, but he got the manager who was very helpful.
Good menu. They also worked with me to change an item on the menu to accommodate me. The waiter wasn't that knowledgable but quickly found the answers for me.
10125 W McDowell Rd, AVONDALE, AZ
I was disappointed that the GF menu was different than the one on the corporate web site. Food was good, no reaction.
5500 Grossmont Center Drive, LA MESA, CA
Ordered Gluten free potato skins, but they tested Gluten on my Nima Sensor
18725 33rd Ave. W, LYNNWOOD, WA
The gluten free menu is very small. I was horribly sick about 2 hours after eating a supposedly gluten free meal there. I won't be going back.
250 Harding Blvd., ROSEVILLE, CA
The waitress double checked when we ordered off the GF menu whether it was preference or not. Then the manager personally checked my daughter's order to make sure she understood what they were modifying to make it gluten free and why. It was wonderful, especially since we were there with a very large group.
1530 West Baseline Road, TEMPE, AZ
They knew their stuff i had the cheeseburger with coleslaw. frys are not GF
1981 Diamond Blvd., CONCORD, CA
I have eaten here a few times but this last time I got extremely sick. I usually order their gluten free cheeseburger and this time around they accidentally gave me a regular cheeseburger. I took a bite out and realized that it was real bread and it had thousand island dressing which is stated on their menu as being not gluten free. Within 10 mins I was miserable and had to go home. Not sure how you can ruin that so bad. Also, they changed their menu form 'Gluten Free' to 'Gluten Sensitive' which indicates to me that they really cannot cater to those with any real serious issues. Don't go there if you are a sick person like me.
29540 Rancho California Road, TEMECULA, CA
Two strikes you are out. This is the second time I took my wife out and she got sick. We gave them a second chance and they served her a gluten bun despite requesting gluten free. They apologized and brought us another burger with a completely different bun. Their menu says gluten sensitive instead of gluten free now. I guess we know why. Never going again.
I have eaten here many times. the staff is very knowledgeable and takes eaxtra care to make sure it's gluten free. love it
1981 Diamond Blvd., CONCORD, CA
Usually have no problem until they accidentally give you fries when you didn't ask for them. They took it back but just removed the fries from the plate. Got glutened unfortunately.
18000 SW Lower Boones Ferry Road, TUALATIN, OR
Excellent gluten free choices. Didn't get sick.
29540 Rancho California Road, TEMECULA, CA
The staff at this location were not trained well enough to tell you about their "gluten free" options. They definitely didn't know what gets cooked where to know about cross contamination either. They even brought out salad with croutons and told my son it was his gf dish. He has Celiac and if he would have dug in, he would have had stomach pains for months.
43330 Pacific Commons Boulevard, FREMONT, CA
They have limited Gluten Sensitive options but you have to be very diligent in ordering your food. One time we ordered a gf pasta dish after stating our Gluten allergy and the dish was delivered with Gluten tortellini on top of the GF pasta. The waiter returned the dish to the kitchen and the manager served us again with the Gluten tortellini. One another visit the GF salad cane with croutons which they quickly replaced. But the GF main dish was delivered with a Gluten side dish we hadn't even ordered. Had to return that meal to be re-made. I'm sure these are just careless errors and mostly due to staff not properly trained in dealing with allergens and cross contamination. Please eat at your own risk.
12384 Carmel Mtn.Road, SAN DIEGO, CA
They have a gluten free menu and are knowledgeable of risks of exposure. They warn about cross contaminations when you are ordering. The time I went the server was very aware of the concerns and knew the questions to ask and foods to avoid. I've gone to another location and it was a totally different experience.
10125 W McDowell Rd, AVONDALE, AZ
They do have a gluten free page inside their menu. Very good BBQ ribs. I ordered French fries and found out they were NOT gluten free. Our server came back just before our food was brought and he warned me and I changed to baked potato. Very good food. No gluten free deserts.
514 Opry Mills Dr, Nashville, TN 37214
They have a gluten free menu. Went through all the precautions. Had a hamburger with a gf bun and a salad. Specified no croutons. My salad came out with croutons. They immediately replaced it when I pointed it out...but it makes you wonder if you'll get sick or not. Not great when you're a long ways from home. I did not get sick.
2250 E 17th St., SANTA ANA, CA
The Manager Bailey is also a Celiac and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Service is always wonderful. The menu has a vast amount of items for a gluten free menu. However, it isn't laid out in a way that makes it easy to order from. They also list their fries and loaded potato skins on the menu and they don't have a dedicated fryer. Other than that I love this place and would recommend to anyone especially if a celiac.
3500 West Olive Avenue, Burbank, CA 91505
Don't go on a busy night. They cannot promise to guard against cross contamination. :(
6629 Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119
I should've ordered the roasted chicken but instead ordered a steak off the GF menu. They refused to use clean water for the pasta so I informed them the pasta isn't GF then. I ordered only salt and pepper on my steak, the plain mashed potatoes and the salad with no croutons. After about 15 minutes completely done eating j had to run to the restroom and my DH hives started to come to service. 😭😫
25740 The Old Road, VALENCIA, CA
Not celiac friendly. Do not trust it.
5500 Grossmont Center Drive, LA MESA, CA
Second time eating at a Claim Jumpers with our wheat allergic child, different locations. This time she had GF pasta with the Alfredo sauce, mashed potatoes, and apples with caramel sauce from the kids menu. The Alfredo sauce was listed as GF, however I asked our server to make sure it was not made with flour. She said the Manager verified it was GF. My daughter enjoyed her meal very much
Pretty decent gluten free selection. Server seemed nervous when I told her I had celiacs and I still got a salad with croutons, but overall I was pleased.
3500 West Olive Avenue, Burbank, CA 91505
Very good stuffed potato and a staff willing to modify the menu if needed.
514 Opry Mills Dr, Nashville, TN 37214
So, the two appetizers are NOT GF!!!! My server informed me that they fry them in the regular fryer, (even though the potato skins said ROASTED)! The only dressing that is GF is the balsamic dressing! I asked about the ranch cuz its my favorite and server said no. My salad came out with a crumpled up receipt on it!! Good looking out staff, especially since i said I have Celiac disease and will get very sick if my food isn't prepared correctly. Our party of four didn't even think the food was that great. wouldn't eat here again!! Especially because of the false advertising on the GF menu!!!
2250 E 17th St., SANTA ANA, CA
Great gluten free food. Tell them your allergy and the service is exceptional! The waitstaff and managers go above and beyond to make sure everything is right and eliminate cross contamination! Hands down fav restaurant as a celiac
5001 Jefferson St NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109
They give me a toasted GF hamburger bun as bread. They have GF appetizers-chicken wings are my favorite. And they have pasta, chicken and steak. All are very good and very filling. They don't have seafood that's GF, but everything they have GF is good!
3063 W Aqua Fria Freeway, PHOENIX, AZ
The gluten free menu is quite limited. I paid more for my 10year old daughters cheeseburger (on a gf bun), than my meal. The French fries are not gluten free. The service and the food were just meh.
18000 SW Lower Boones Ferry Road, TUALATIN, OR
They have a gluten free menu and the waitress I had was overly conscientious. Loved it. I could relax because she was so attentive. Had chicken salad and it was delicious. Pasta was also recommended.
514 Opry Mills Dr, Nashville, TN 37214
Our server was gluten free. We ordered the absolute pasta This place was a great find
3500 West Olive Avenue, Burbank, CA 91505
Had a great gf menu. Very yummy. No reaction. My fave place on my trip to LA
1981 Diamond Blvd., CONCORD, CA
Awesome amazing love the food
12499 Foothill Blvd., RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA
My daughter was sick with in 24 hours of eating there we told our server she was celiac and needed gluten free they first brought her salad with croutons and had to send it back don't think they care
514 Opry Mills Dr, Nashville, TN 37214
I was very nervous about trying out this place but I was pleasantly surprised! Our server happen to be gluten free, too, so that helped a lot. My daughter and I split a gluten free pizza and salad with ranch which was gluten free. Service and food was great!!
7971 Beach Blvd., BUENA PARK, CA
The were out of the gluten free pasta but the kids said the GF hamburgers were good. The buns seemed fresh. I had the GF salmon dinner and thought it came with mashed potatoes. I was brought two sides of broccoli instead. Rice or a Potato would have been nice. I don't think they are used to celiac but they were nice and made an effort.
18725 33rd Ave. W, LYNNWOOD, WA
No stars Wife immediately sick. Someone probably careless in the kitchen.
1100 S. Fort Apache Road, LAS VEGAS, NV
Do NOT dine here if cross contamination is an issue. Gluten free pasta is boiled in the same water as regular pasta. Management from another CJ admitted that there isn't anything on the menu that is truly celiac friendly. Eat somewhere else.
380 McKinley Street, CORONA, CA
RUDE!! I said i have a gluten intolerance, not only did they bring the wrong order twice (regular bun) but they had no customers at the time, AND THE MANAGER SUGGESTED I LEAVE AS TO NOT BE A BOTHER TO THEM. Worst. lunch. ever. If you have Celiacs or intolerance do not eat here! Manager asked how severe my intolerance was and if it was okay to have a little gluten. NO! its not okay. never ever going back.
I eat here about once a month with family. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. The food is a little pricey but tasty. The quesadillas are my favourite. I've never had an issue with cross-contamination. 5 stars all the way!
Our early supper started out nice, asked about a gluten free menu and the server was very knowledgable about the handful of items they offer. They offer gluten free burgers, sandwiches, salads, chicken, steak, and fish but just beware you pay more when it is gluten free! Why should we have to pay more just because of being gluten free. Oh and who wants mashed potatoes with their hamburger?!?! No french fry option. Ended up with the Gluten Free Absolut Pasta and it was not worth is $17.99, I paid. On to the next place...
18000 SW Lower Boones Ferry Road, TUALATIN, OR
My husband and I were very impressed. Our server was very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten making sure everything was separate in the kitchen and as she brought it to us.
wings (baked), burgers, sandwiches, all GF bread. ribs, steaks and they all get it. nicely done!
1111 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95814
I am gluten intolerant and the food on their menu definitely is not gluten friendly. Within an hour I had reaction. It was great tasting food, just not gluten-free. I had the barbecue chicken sandwich, supposedly on gluten-free bread. I was assured the barbecue sauce was gluten-free. The only reason I'm giving it a two, is because the food taste.
9085 SE Sunnyside RD, CLACKAMAS, OR
My wife got very sick after having a steak and explaining to waitress that she is a celiac.
18000 SW Lower Boones Ferry Road, TUALATIN, OR
I had a very knowledgeable waitress and the menu is very easy to choose from. They have a full gf menu. I had a chicken Alfredo penne pasta dish and it was amazing! Defiantly recommend this place!
1530 West Baseline Road, TEMPE, AZ
Gluten free section of menus, with a decent amount of choices, including pizza. Warning of cross contamination on menu. Wait staff excellent, just let them know about allergies, intolerances (I can not eat wheat or onions as an intolerance). Tomato basil pizza (wheat free crust) was good. Tomatoes roasted, lovely flavor. Crust is decent, thin, a little crispy, but not too dry. Would definitely return.
250 Harding Blvd., ROSEVILLE, CA
Horrible service and they cross contaminate everything. Not safe for celiacs
18050 Brookhurst Street, FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA
Well I came here as an out-of-towner & I'm disappointed. The server seemed diligent about taking my order. They have a decent menu. My salad came and it was premixed with dressing and all and I bit down onto a crouton. I can see how it was missed but still unacceptable. If you eat here, ask that your salad not be pre-mixed -- dressing on the side and toppings VISIBLE. I have Celiac and I'm out of town. Great mix!!
1530 West Baseline Road, TEMPE, AZ
Cross contamination is definitely an issue here. Both my wife and I got sick after eating here. don't recommend it. Update: we reported this to HQ and they were VERY responsive. We had a response from them in 48 hours, which indicated that the location's staff would be retrained on food issues. Since then, they've been worlds better. I'm updating this review as a result.
1905 South Commercenter East, SAN BERNARDINO, CA
Lots of vegetarian/gluten free options. It's a little more complicated for me because I was put on a gluten free, dairy free diet but the wings and baked potato with char grilled chicken and roasted veggies that I ordered were delicious!!! My waitress was very knowledgable on the gluten free menu
601 North Green Valley Parkway, HENDERSON, NV
My daughter has celiac and cannot tolerate any gluten. We have been here about 5 times and she has never gotten sick. She does the bbq ribs (gf) and a side of GF mac and cheese. The waiter informed me that the shape of the GF pasta is different, so I could verify it is the GF pasta when it arrives. We had a problem at Macaroni Grill, so I was very suspicious. It's really great. Her only complaint is there aren't enough ribs :-) She loves them.
7971 Beach Blvd., BUENA PARK, CA
Was served regular gluten pasta after specifying an allergy. My daughter ate some and was sick nearly immediately. I have gluten and dairy allergies and was served a sandwich with cheese in it after specifying. Manager and server not apologetic and did not comp meal with gluten.

During the last two decades the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has been increasingly recognized as a distinct clinical entity. This condition is caused by recurrent upper airway obstruction during sleep, is manifest as loud snoring, arterial oxygen desaturation, sleep fragmentation, and excessive daytime sleepiness1,2. Epidemiological series have shown that about 4% of the population suffers from symptomatic OSAS that requires treatment3–5. OSAS is associated with increased rates of many chronic diseases6,7 and is a serious and potentially life-threatening disorder that is far more common than generally believed. Thus, untreated OSAS may pose a significant public health problem8. Epidemiological data demonstrating the relationship between OSAS and cardiovascular morbidity highlight the potential importance of early recognition and treatment9.
The mechanisms responsible for upper airway obstruction in patients with OSAS are highly complicated and as yet not fully understood. Several causes for OSAS have been suggested. It appears to result from a variable combination of anatomic and pathophysiologic factors, some of which may be under genetic control10. The relaxation of upper airway musculature has been studied in relation to OSAS11-13. Anatomic narrowing of the upper airway as a result of alterations in craniofacial morphology or soft tissue enlargement, the Bernoulli effect, sleep posture, age, male gender, and adipose tissue in the pharynx have been suggested in the etiology of OSAS14-17.
Several studies have suggested that ethnicity may be an important risk factor in OSAS17–20. Recent reports have suggested that Asian subjects with OSAS have a greater severity of illness compared with white subjects21,22. Some studies reported that obesity is the strongest risk factor for OSAS in middle-aged adults3,23,24. However, we have treated many non-obese Taiwanese young adults with severe OSAS. Previous researches have suggested that there may be differences in obesity and craniofacial anatomy as risk factors between Asians and whites25 and that the etiology of OSAS in obese patients may be different from that in non-obese patients16,26,27. It is still unclear whether there are differences in clinical evaluation parameters between non-obese Asian patients with severe OSAS and simple snoring.
We hypothesized that there are predictor factors in routine clinical examinations for diagnosis of OSAS in non-obese young adult patients. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to compare the clinical parameters in non-obese patients with severe OSAS with those of simple snorers and to find the risk factors for OSAS in a non-obese young adult Taiwanese population.

One of the fun things about blogging that I never expected is that people who are faithful readers quite often send me recipes to try. Unfortunately, I have such a huge backlog in my own "recipes to try" folder that I often file them away and forget, but once in a while a recipe really strikes me.
It was a nice coincidence that I had just noticed my dill really needed trimming when a reader named Robin Oliver send me this recipe for Strawberry Spinach Salad with Almonds and Dill! I was intrigued with the idea of dill in a salad with spinach, and I also loved the sound of the slightly-sweet dressing that had a touch of dry mustard and onion powder. Robin told me she loved the salad, and absolutely, so did I! Thanks Robin, for a recipe that's a definite keeper.
If you don't like dill, or don't have any fresh dill in your garden I think this salad would be delicious with sweet basil! This is a lovely salad for a special occasion; hope you enjoy!
Strawberry Spinach Salad with Almonds and Dill
(Makes 4 -6 servings, recipe slightly adapted from a recipe sent to me by Robin Oliver. Robin got it from a pot-luck where she asked the host for the recipe.)
(Note: Robin's recipe called for 2 lbs. baby spinach. I cut it down to 1 lb. spinach, since that's the size I see most often in the store. I did not decrease the dressing ingredients, but you could cut it in half if you don't want to have extra dressing.)
1 lb. baby spinach leaves, washed and spun dry if needed
1/2 cup sliced green onions (or less, I love green onion)
1/3 cup slivered almonds, slightly toasted in a dry pan (or use regular chopped almonds if that's all you have)
1 cup sliced strawberries (or more)
2-3 T chopped fresh dill (or more; I would use basil if you're not a fan of dill)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar, Splenda, or Stevia Granulated Sweetener (use Splenda or Stevia or other approved sweetener for the South Beach Diet)
1 tsp. finely minced fresh garlic
1/4 tsp. salt (I used fine sea salt)
1/4 tsp. black pepper (I used fresh ground pepper)
1/4 tsp. dry mustard powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Wash dill and spin dry or dry with paper towels. Trim off feathery ends, discarding thick stems. finely chop dill and set aside. Wash strawberries, cut into slices and set aside.
Wash spinach if needed and spin dry or dry with paper towels. Place spinach in large mixing bowl. Thinly slice green onions and add to spinach in bowl. Add slivered (or chopped) almonds and chopped dill and mix together.
Whisk dressing a few time to be sure it's well-mixed, then add desired amount of dressing to salad and toss. (You will not need all the dressing.)
Arrange salad on individual serving plates. Toss sliced strawberries with 1-2 T of dressing, then arrange strawberries over salad on each plate and serve.
South Beach Suggestions:
Made with Stevia Granulated Sweetener or Splenda, this salad would be a good option for phase 2 or 3 of the South Beach Diet. This would taste great with Roasted Salmon with Balsamic Sauce or Chicken and Quickly Roasted Asparagus with Tahini Sauce.

More About Dill:
Dill is a short-lived perennial herb that's used in many types of recipes. If you have dill in your garden, try to keep it trimmed during the summer so the dill doesn't go to seed. At the end of the season you can let it go to seed and re-seed the spot for dill the next year.

While retailers have done a great job promoting sweet onions, the flat yellow onions don't get a lot of love in restaurants, said Dave Munson, corporate chef for Keystone Fruit Marketing, Greencastle, Pa.
"There's so much interest from consumers and it's such a wonderful onion — first cousin to the Vidalia with similar looks and flavor — we can't figure out why that doesn't blow over into foodservice," Munson said.
Mayan Sweets out of Peru are Keystone's longest-running sweet onion crop, he said, after Georgia's Vidalias and Walla Walla sweets out of Washington.
Price could be one barrier to sales, he said. Especially today, as the soft economy forces chefs to squeeze every penny to keep their doors open.
One bright spot is the Vancouver, Wash.-based Burgerville chain, which reported a 15% to 25% bump in sales during its annual summer promotion of fresh Walla Walla onion rings.
"They've marketed them to the nth degree," Munson said, "and consumers look forward to them."
Chefs in small restaurants will often pick up a few Peruvians from the supermarket for a daily menu feature, said Munson, who dices them into cheese omelets for breakfast and loves their sweet flavor in salads.
"Eating a Mayan Sweet raw is one of the best things you can do," he said.
"Sweet onions shaved or cut in half moons pair beautifully with fruit — think peaches, raspberries and caramelized pecans. Or pick your favorite green, add sweet onion, tomatoes and artichokes and get the whole thing going with a bit of dressing."
When it comes to chefs and sweet onions, "it's a little slow out there," said John Vlahandreas, national onion sales director for Wada Farms Marketing Group, based in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
"There are some great chefs who use only sweet onions," he said. "They're going to demand it because it's a specialty they really want to play with."
One big sweet onion fan is Rick Vargas, owner of Sonoma Wine Shop and La Bodega Kitchens in Sonoma and Sebastopol, Calif.
Vargas uses the onion's sweetness to soften the acidity of tomato in a simple marinara sauce, and he is working on a new ravioli of slow-cooked onions with Port Reyes blue cheese in a port wine sauce.
"Higher prices on sweet onions for specialty uses don't deter me," said Vargas, whose parents are from Peru. "If you're a quality place, then put your money where your mouth is. Any vegetable is only good if it's fresh."
Culinary Institute of America grad Josh Bonanno of Tampa, Fla., who works for a coffee roaster during the day, recently discovered certified sweet onions when the daughter of the president of National Onion Labs, a regular customer, gave him a 10-pound bag to try.
Bonanno served the onions sliced raw over steak and slipped them into a smoked fish dip at a bimonthly supper club he organizes with his brother.
After the five-course meal, he praised the onions in his blog and responded to guests who wanted to know where to buy them.
"I'll never look at an onion the same way again," said the 23-year-old cook, who munched on the sweets while preparing dinner and is sold on the idea of choosing only certified onions.
"If I'm making French onion soup, I won't use a sweet onion because you want some of the bite to stand up to all that cooking," he said.
"But if I'm making Vietnamese pho soup, which often has raw onions in it, I won't use a regular spicy onion anymore. The sweet finish on the sweet onion doesn't linger and ruin the rest of the dish."

In the heart of Florence 1921, Guccio Gucci established the small family-run luggage company, Gucci. Over the years, Gucci has transformed into one of the leading luxury brands worldwide.
Gucci made headway in the late 1950s-1960s under the management of Aldo Gucci, better known as Dr. Gucci. During this time, then, Princess Elizabeth, and Elizabeth Taylor were among the many who adorned Gucci's accessories.
It was Aldo who helped expand the Gucci brand into the US market after WWII, allowing Gucci to be a world-renowned symbol. After Aldo's son Paolo introduced the ready-to-wear line in the late 1960s, it was easy to find a fashion icon or influencer wearing Gucci.
In 1994, the talented Tom Ford revitalized Gucci and once again made it one of the go-to brands for luxury. Today, the brand is owned by French holding company, Pinault-Printemps-Redoute and run under the creative direction of Frida Giannini.

Nedroid comics are great, especially when they're about pizza! AHT editor, Robyn, zeroed in on this and this comic through the Twitter byways announcing the Nedroid book. That made me wonder what pizza-related comics I might have missed in the past, which led me to the one pictured above.

Astros claim Darin Downs from Detroit
HOUSTON, TX - The Houston Astros have claimed left-handed pitcher Darin Downs off of waivers from Detroit. The announcement was made by Astros General Manager Jeff Luhnow.
Downs, 28, posted a 4.84 ERA (19ER/35.1IP) in 29 games across two stints in the Tigers bullpen this season. He struck out 37 hitters in his 35.1 innings pitched, while limiting left-handed hitters to a .219 (14x64) average. Downs also made 13 minor league appearances in 2013 and posted a 2.16 ERA (4ER/16.2IP) combined between Triple A Toledo (12g) and Class A West Michigan (1g). Downs has pitched in parts of the last two seasons with the Tigers and owns a career 2-3 record and a 4.34 ERA (27ER/56IP) in 47 games. He's collected 57 strikeouts in his 56.0 Major League innings pitched.
With the addition of Downs and the removal of left-handed pitcher Erik Bedard, who filed for free agency yesterday, the Astros 40-man roster remains at 36 players.

The purpose of this thesis is to study the concepts of hell and heaven in Theravada Buddhism by means of the sources which are Tipitaka scriptures, world science scriptures and some modern Buddhist literary works, to present the theory confirming that the hells and the heavens really exist as both lodging places and mental states, and to give the pictures of the development of the concepts of hell and heaven in Theravada Buddhism from ancient age to present.

Friday Links: This Week in Historical Archaeology
This week's photo was taken by the PAST Foundation, on the 2008 Florida Keys Field…
This week's photo is of a calligraphy pen excavated from an Aboriginal settlement "at the margin of a Presbyterian Mission site near Weipa" that archaeologist and blogger Mick Morrison (@mickmorrison) has been excavating. Credit for the photo goes to Flinders University graduate student Amy Della-Sale. Mick was gracious enough to write an accompanying blog post about the pen, suggesting that the pen may have been part of a system of donations between the mission and a church goers in Melbourne or Brisbane. Please read more about this fascinating artifact, see additional photos, and give Mick your insight into this fascinating artifact!
This week, there were not many news headlines, but the blogs were full information regarding the recent television shows being broadcast by National Geographic and SpikeTV. As you probably know, the SHA has written two blog posts and two letters to Spike TV and National Geographic. You can read the SHA's official letters here and here.
Two Facebook Groups have also been started in opposition to the SpikeTV and National Geographic Show, and have been cataloguing the various responses from archaeologists and archaeological organizations. They also include a number of discussions between metal detector enthusiasts and archaeologists. This is the best place to get up-to-date information on the topics.
Bloggers have also had some opinions about the importance of context and the dangers of looting:
FPAN's Shovel Bytes argues that you can't put a price on context.
Anthroprobably states that "America's Heritage is Not for Sale".
John Roby at Digs and Docs also weighs in on the ethics of profiting on heritage.
Believe it or not, other things have been happening in historical archaeology this week:
FPAN's recent public workshop about archaeological advocacy received some news coverage this week.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service has a useful chart for determining soil texture by feel.
March is Archaeology Month in Arkansas! Here's a list of the activities. Please, if it's Archaeology Month in your state, share with us!
Mt. Vernon has a question for the public about their mystery nails: do you know why they're coated? Help them out at their blog!

England rises to fourth in FIFA rankings despite Euro failure
London: England has gone past the Netherlands and Brazil to reach its best ever position of fourth in the FIFA world rankings, despite bowing out of the ongoing Euro Cup in the quarterfinal stage.
Despite another penalty shoot-out loss, England's exit after four unbeaten games including topping Group D will see them move up from their current ranking of sixth when the new list is announced next week.
Unless either Portugal or Italy wins the tournament, Hodgson's men will start next season in fourth, only fractionally behind third-placed Uruguay.
For Hodgson and England the improvement will be a justification of his brief and so far unbeaten spell in charge in which he has restored lost credibility and given the national side a platform for the advances that need to be made.
The FIFA calculation is based on results over the previous four calendar years, meaning that England have also benefited from the results under Hodgson's little lamented predecessor Fabio Capello.
If Spain and Germany progress to Sunday's final showdown in Kiev, then the winner would also be crowned as the new world number one.

I have been browsing this forum and decided to join. I wanted to share my understanding of rebirth and see if anyone who opposes it can counter this. Alright I think we can all agree that consciousness or what we may call the mindstream, like all things, is dependently arisen and impermanent. Being so, it does not have a fixed being/identity/"thingness." It is not truly existent. This is part of emptiness. Now, there being no thing (existence) there to begin with, how could there be the absence of a thing, non existence? Just so, there being no consciousness present as a true existent thing to begin with, how could there possibly be absence of that thing? Now it is this dependently arisen and impermanent consciousness itself (not "self" but you know what I mean) that is not existent and thus cannot be non existent. So one can say that dependently arisen and impermanent phenomena themselves are emptiness.
There is no emptiness apart from phenomena. Thus emptiness is not existence (what we may call eternalism) and is not non existence (nihilism or annihilationism). To claim that consciousness ended at death would be to believe that there was something substantial there that could end in the first place. Therefore, the very view that, because apart from changing phenomena there is no emptiness the CONTINUITY of this mindstream as dependently arisen and always changing IS emptiness, IS itself the middle way - it avoids existence and non existence, nothingness, annhiliation, etc. If one believes that the stream of mind can end after death, I believe that one does not yet have right view of emptiness. I would in fact say that correct understanding of emptiness includes understanding rebirth as literal. I would very much like to hear refutations from rebirth deniers on this topic.

In Victorian times, everyone was well versed in what is called the language of flowers. Every flower has a special meaning and any bouquet given was chosen carefully by flower type to convey the
correct meaning. If you are planning to send or give flowers for Valentine's Day, you might consider the various types and meanings before selection. For instance, the Anemone is symbolic
of unfading love, the aster of love's preference, the azalea means take care of yourself for me, fragile passion and is the Chinese symbol of womanhood. The bachelor button means celibacy, the bluebell means humility and constancy, and baby's breath is everlasting love.

Most of us recognize callers as being from certain geographic areas right when we see the numbers, all because of usually unique area codes. That may soon be a thing of the past.
That is because Voice-over-Internet providers like Vonage Holdings Corp. want direct access to a national pool of unused numbers. According to The Washington Post, that would allow them to end reliance on middlemen tied to area codes, and introduce more freedom in assigning numbers.
The issue for some here is that many are attached to the significance of their area code numbers. Take New York, for example. In Manhattan, the coveted 212 area code signifies a business or residence in Manhattan, and not one of the other boroughs. It also, in many cases, signifies a long-time residence in the Big Apple, or longstanding business tenure. New Yorkers find that area code far more glamorous than more recent offerings, like 347.
By the same token, here in Central Florida, for example, you would no longer be able to be sure that callers from 407 are, in fact, local.
The reason for the change has little to do with wanting to branch out as far as that goes, but the proposal to the Federal Communications Commission is reportedly more about ensuring all communications entities have access to unused numbers.
Others speculate the move could also end up being a way to make a profit; in the case of the 212 area code in particular, you could potentially be able to pay a fee to ensure the area code you want.

Treating benign tumors outside the brain with CyberKnife Frameless Radiosurgery resulted in significant improvement in symptoms and minimal toxicity, according to a study by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers presented today at the 46th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) in Atlanta.
"While stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of benign brain tumors has become widely accepted, our knowledge about the use of this technology for benign tumors outside the brain has been limited," said Steve Burton, M.D., study co-author and assistant professor, department of radiation oncology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. "The results of our study indicate that treating these tumors with CyberKnife is safe and effective and can successfully control their growth and progression."
The study, whose purpose was to evaluate the feasibility, toxicity and local control of patients with symptomatic benign tumors treated with CyberKnife, evaluated 50 benign tumors in 35 patients who underwent radiosurgery between 2001 and 2004 at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The tumors were located in the spine (36), neck (6), skull (3), eye (3) and brainstem (2). Seventy-eight percent of patients treated with CyberKnife experienced an improvement in their pre-treatment symptoms, which included pain and weakness. The local control rate – the rate at which the tumors growth was controlled locally – was 96 percent for the 26 patients who underwent follow-up imaging from one to 25 months after the treatment was administered.

Controlling electronic current is essential to modern electronics, as data and signals are transferred by streams of electrons which are controlled at high speed. Demands on transmission speeds are also increasing as technology develops. Scientists from the Chair of Laser Physics and the Chair of Applied Physics at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have succeeded in switching on a current with a desired direction in graphene using a single laser pulse within a femtosecond ¬¬ – a femtosecond corresponds to the millionth part of a billionth of a second. This is more than a thousand times faster compared to the most efficient transistors today.

Plants and algae use the enzyme Rubisco to fix carbon dioxide, removing it from the atmosphere and converting it into biomass. Algae have figured out a way to increase the efficiency of carbon fixation. They gather most of their Rubisco into a ball-shaped microcompartment called the pyrenoid, which they flood with a high local concentration of carbon dioxide. A team of scientists at Princeton University, the Carnegie Institution for Science, Stanford University and the Max Plank Institute of Biochemistry have unravelled the mysteries of how the pyrenoid is assembled. These insights can help to engineer crops that remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while producing more food.

Our brains house extremely complex neuronal circuits, whose detailed structures are still largely unknown. This is especially true for the so-called cerebral cortex of mammals, where among other things vision, thoughts or spatial orientation are being computed. Here the rules by which nerve cells are connected to each other are only partly understood. A team of scientists around Moritz Helmstaedter at the Frankfiurt Max Planck Institute for Brain Research and Helene Schmidt (Humboldt University in Berlin) have now discovered a surprisingly precise nerve cell connectivity pattern in the part of the cerebral cortex that is responsible for orienting the individual animal or human in space.

Editor's note: This article was written by Coleen Jones, research associate, and Jud Heinrichs, professor of dairy and animal science at Penn State, and originally appeared in the June 2010 Penn State Dairy Digest.
In a recently published study, heifers fed whole milk before weaning produced more milk during their first lactation than those fed milk replacer as calves. Israeli researchers published these results in the June issue of the Journal of Dairy Science.
Forty-six Israeli Holstein calves were allowed to consume as much fresh whole milk or milk replacer as they would drink during two 30-minute feeding periods each day. Free-choice water and starter were also provided. Gradual weaning began at 51 days of age and was completed at 60 days of age. All calves received the same feed from 60 through 150 days of age, at which time half of the heifers were assigned to a growing heifer ration and the other half received the growing heifer ration with an additional 2 percent protein supplemented. These rations were fed through 320 days of age. From 320 days of age through calving and throughout the first lactation, all heifers received the same ration. Body composition at 60 days and 300 days was measured using an additional 12 heifers that were fed and managed identically to those in the lactation experiment.
Calves fed milk replacer drank 2.58 gallons per day (2.62 pounds dry matter) compared to 2.37 gallons (2.40 pounds dry matter) for calves fed whole milk. There was no difference in starter intake, which averaged 0.4 pounds per day. However, calves fed whole milk weighed about 7 pounds more at weaning (189 pounds versus 182 pounds), had nearly 10 percent higher average daily gain (1.78 pounds versus 1.62 pounds per day), and were more efficient at converting feed to body weight gain. Height was similar between the groups at weaning and averaged 33.6 inches at the withers and 35.4 inches at the hips. Calves consumed similar amounts of metabolizable energy, but whole milk-fed calves had higher protein intake due to the composition of whole milk (29.4 percent fat, 25.9 percent protein) compared to milk replacer (13 percent fat, 23.7 percent protein).
Analysis of body composition at weaning showed that calves fed whole milk stored more body fat than calves fed milk replacer. The total fat mass in calves fed whole milk was 1.78 times that in calves fed milk replacer. Total fat as a percentage of empty body weight was 1.56 percent for whole milk calves and 0.96 for those fed milk replacer. By 300 days of age, weight of kidney and mammary pad fat was similar between the two groups.
Calves fed whole milk maintained their 6 percent to 7 percent body weight advantage from weaning through 600 days of age and tended to be heavier at calving than those fed milk replacer. Supplemental protein did not affect heifer growth through 600 days of age. Thirty-six heifers completed their first lactation, and those fed whole milk as calves produced 5.3 pounds per day more milk than their counterparts fed milk replacer (71.2 pounds versus 65.9 pounds per day).
Daily milk production (74.7 pounds) and 4 percent fat-corrected milk production (68.3 pounds) were highest in cows fed whole milk as calves and 2 percent supplemental protein in the heifer ration. Cows fed whole milk as calves also had greater fat and protein production than those fed milk replacer. The authors concluded that the effects of feeding whole milk were independent of the effects on skeletal growth. Whole milk fed calves also had more fat deposition, which the authors speculate may have been part of the beneficial effect to milk production in later life.

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — As Target's Canadian debut draws near, the company announced that it is opening three pilot stores in Ontario on March 5 at Stone Road in Guelph, Milton Mall Shopping Centre in Milton and Gates of Fergus in Fergus. The three pilot stores are the first Target locations to open in Canada, and the first of 124 Target stores that will open across the country throughout 2013.
The stores will maintain normal business hours on most days, however these may fluctuate as the stores are to be used to prepare systems, train team members and determine operational readiness as the first wave of 24 stores soft open across Ontario later in March.
"The Target team is excited to open these test locations as we put the finishing touches on our stores, assortments and inventory," said Tony Fisher, president Target Canada. "We look forward to delivering on our Expect More. Pay Less. brand promise and providing an outstanding shopping experience as we approach our grand opening in early April."

|I thought the R-hand variation was the better of these two routes, and certainly no harder (at most 5.10c). A straighter line and more even difficulty. Either way, fine climbing.

|Bold?? I can see the line as being sweet, aesthetic, plumb, pumpy, or pretty...but bold? Over- and mis-used come to mind. Lene's Dream offers a long fall, but clean, and that might be considered a bold lead. When I think of bold I think of a cool head and the courage of a lion to drop the clutch with perilous consequences waiting below. That, my friend, is bold!

|Wear on both of the cold shuts at the top warrants some caution. These are in need of replacement, but will serve just fine for raps or top-ropes - if one is top-roping through their own gear. Replacement of both anchors should be high on the priority list.

|I am somewhat confused about the routes (and variations) in this alcove. I think I know which way the original Winter Warmer goes, but Richard talks about an inverted V-slot - strange name for a layback crack. So I guess Winter Warmer goes up the line on the right (as shown in the photos below), then left under the roof to finish at the bolts on the left, where as the Variation goes straight up at the roof to finish at the bolts on the right (which seems the more logical line to me). So what is the start and line of bolts on the left and can these be climbed to the anchors on both the left and the right? Or more to the point is it worthwhile?

|The start, at least, has always confused me as well. Then again, I'm easily confused, so that may not mean much. The inverted slot to the left of the layback start, referred to in the description but conspicuously absent from the photos, seems quite a bit harder than 10d to me, and I always assumed it was separate from both WW and the WW Variation.

|One could use a different lexicon to describe the start - kinda-of-a-thin-slot-type-of-thing-with-a-kinda-undercling-sort-of-thing-on-the-right-to-start-sort-of. Or... The more logical line, it it matters, runs a bit right and in a bit more of a bee-line. That's why Dave bolted it. The line to the right is some kind of 5.11 thing for a move or two and then catches up with WW proper - kinda-of-in-the-middle-sort-of-thing... Ain't rocket science.

I agree that describing the start of this route is difficult, but I think it's worth a shot because it's really confusing. In the area of Winter Warmer, there appears to be two routes that start about 3-4 feet apart. The left start is in a deep v-slot with a bolt on the right hand wall of the slot. The first bolt on the right hand start requires a longish reach from atop a pedestal of rock, using a left hand undercling (-ish) and a right hand sidepull. I always assumed the right hand start was "Winter Warmer Variation," and the left hand start (in the deep v-slot) was "Winter Warmer." Both are given a rating of 10d. That's part of the confusion to me, because I've tried the deep v-slot start about 15 times, and have succeeded only once. The other start, on the right, seems far easier.

|The original start to Winter Warmer went up the layback flake on the right. The v-slot was added much later and if you stay strictly in the slot and don't climb around it to the left is clearly not 5.10 anything. Also, the original Winter Warmer route took the left hand variation at the top. More recent additions have obscured the original line, so now there's 4 routes instead of just one!

|I did the line on the right today, with a 50 m rope, just barely long enough. I thought the technical crux was probably passing the first bolt, but the route was really sustained at 5.10 a/b and quite pumpy. Probably the best route I've tried at Table, long and nice, some spots are quite polished.
By Edward Jenner

Thanks, I think I get it now.
For anyone confused about the variety of ratings, IMO all the ratings here 10b or 10d are appropriate depending on your philosophy for rating climb. Being unusually long for Table mountain, the sustained nature and one hard(er) move at the right hand start, results in somewhat wide grade variations.

|Climbed this great route again today - ! The start depends on some power and getting a good right foot to support the quick step up with the left, but there's another cruxy spot above, staying straight up, passing the third bolt, balancy and crimpy - excellent. If you don't stop and take the numerous rests this route affords you, the traverse left under the roof (what I have always understood to be Winter Warmer route proper) will pump you out and you'll hate yourself for peeling off of bomber 5.8 jugs, so milk every rest you get.

New three bolt anchor, all 1/2" rawls with winch hooks as of 1/4/08. All the bolts are new too and color coded. A major hold broke just above the roof and the bolt that protects the headwall run-out got tested!
The nesting has always been crows, but the falcons are around. The presence of falcons has been good for climbers. All the pidgeons are gone and the routes they fowled have cleaned up again. I've also seen the falcon harassing the crows.

|The jug you need to clip the first bolt from 10 feet up has some cracks around it. I didn't feel any movement, but I'm not tall enough to clip the bolt without bringing my feet up high, so I backed off. Someone more familiar than me should go check it out to see if that hold is changing at all. If so, consider asking the FA team about moving the bolt a foot lower.

Bold only getting to and above the first bolt. From there, it is well protected. Four distinct and unique cruxes. One of my favs at NTM.
10c, but pretty sustained. Fun!

|FA: Dave and Ziggy as indicated. We were lucky to snatch this line, there were like 4 drills spinning at NTM the day we installed it. Ken Trout was hot on our heels but got involved with a short route nearby instead. The tentative name was "Poached Trout" (Dave's brilliant suggestion), but we were into Young's Winter Warmer and actually drank some later to celebrate this rig. The bolt prorecting the runout above the roof was first tested by Tripp about a week later.

Replay doesn't go Rockies' way
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- In the top of the sixth inning on Sunday, Chicago's Adam Eaton stole second base, beating Michael McKenry's throw. But Eaton bounced off the bag and appeared to be tagged out. Rockies manager Walt Weiss challenged, but the call was upheld because umpires ruled the replay inconclusive.
Weiss said after the game he had not been showed the play, but heard that the video seemed to contradict the final ruling.
"That's what I heard," Weiss said. "I think it's going to be a very different story during the season, because we're going to have 12 camera angles as opposed to the two or three that we have in Spring Training."
The decision took 1 minute, 7 seconds. Weiss talked at length after the game, not just about that call but about rules and communication with the league office, with MLB executive Tony La Russa.

Best Uses
I travel a lot in my RV and have a bunch of hunting dogs with me most of the time. I very often have to let dogs out in the dark to take care of business. I have a headlamp from one of the major outdoor stores which is fine but the beam is like a spotlight - that is what it was designed to be. And, the intensity of the beam is not adjustable. I can just imagine that, to my dogs, the light was like having someone shine a flashlight in your eyes..
Duluth's variable intensity Fenix headlamp is more like a flood light and I can adjust the light to dim when I am close to a dog - such as snapping on a lead - or I can increase the brightness when the dog is out at a distance and need to keep him in sight.
I really like this headlamp.
Well, shoot.

Topic: Second Opinions
Good Morning!
I am currently at MD Anderson. I am not connecting well with my doctor and am feeling like I need to know everything so I can ask all the pertinent questions to get the information from him that I need. Just this week I was told that the cancer is in my lymph nodes and that is what makes a transplant impossible. They are also watching a spot on my lung to be sure that it is not also cancer. (It could just be from past bronchitis or respiratory infections which I have struggled with my entire life). I have been seeing this doctor since May and this is the first time I've heard this! I was floored when I finally asked him the "right" question and was given this information. At times I feel like he thinks I'm going to die so let's not talk about being as aggressive as possible in fighting the cancer. Currently, I am doing Gem/CIS chemotherapy every two weeks with slight success. I realize that there are relatively few options for advanced CC but I have to know that my doctor is fighting as hard a possible with me.
I am going to ask for a consult with another doctor at MD Anderson, Dr. Javle, who seems to take a slightly different approach. I've seen many good comments about him here on this site.
I am also considering a second opinion from the Mayo Clinic. Does anyone have any experience with doctors at the Mayo Clinic? They have slightly better survival rates than MD Anderson and I was surprised to see that the GI Clinic at MD Anderson scored only 52 out of 100 on US News and World Reports. Maybe that means really means nothing but when I'm already concerned about the level of care it makes me think twice! (Mayo clinic scored 100/100).
Thanks for any advice anyone can offer!

The cover below was carried on the exceptionally well documented trip of the blockade-runner Lilian, also spelled Lillian, from Bermuda to Wilmington in June 1864. James M. Morgan, a passenger on the harrowing voyage devoted a chapter in his book "Recollections of A Rebel Reefer" to this trip.
The steamer was carrying onboard several CS Naval personnel including Morgan and Lieutenant William P. A. Campbell. However, as a private ship, the duty of captain went to a Daniel Martin. As the Lillan approached Cape Fear River she was pursued by the USS Shenandoah. Due to an inept approach by Martin, who had already started drinking brandy, the slower sailing ship was able to gain on the Lilian by deploying full sail. After a projectile from the Shenandoah passed a few feet from Martin's position on the bridge "he came scampering down the ladder, screaming 'haul that flag down.' I will not have anymore lives sacrificed!" although nothing besides the paddleboxes had yet been touched. CSN Lt. Campbell took command immediately and commanded:
"kill the first man who touches those flag halyards."
Campbell then changed course and managed to avoid further damage by edging-in to the shoals with the help of the approaching dark and the protection of Fort Fisher's guns. The Lilian arrived safely at Wilmington the following morning. Martin was "found in his berth dead drunk with an empty bottle of brandy beside him." The report of USN Captain Ridgely of the Shenandoah detailing the chase mentions that 140 shots were fired.

Miyazaki's first animated adventure in Hi-Def...

To insure your action figure collection, get in touch with our sponsor Collectibles Insurance.
Continuing the trend that began last year, yet another one of director Hayao Miyazakis phenomenal animated features is re-released to home video, this time on High-Definition Blu-Ray. Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind, or Kaze no Tani no Naushika, is widely considered the first film by Studio Ghibli, but was actually released in 1984, a year before the studio was founded. The film features an amazing English voice cast including Alison Lohman, Patrick Stewart, Uma Thurman, Chris Sarandon, Edward James Olmos, Mark Hamill, Frank Welker, Jodi Benson, and Shia LaBeouf. Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment gives Miyazakis definitive film the reception it deserves with a host of exciting special features and incredible quality on the Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind 2-Disc Combo Pack.
The post-apocalyptic film follows the adventures of Nausicaa, the young princess of the valley of the wind, who is shown to be brave, intelligent, and resourceful as she and her people deal with the everyday trials of living in a world where humanity is struggling for survival in one of the last infection-free pieces of land in a world ravaged by giant insect-infested, poisonous forests referred to a Toxic Jungles. Her people are endangered when a war-mongering kingdom invades their land to recover a Giant Warrior, a powerful being dug up from the earth and a remnant of the Seven Days of Fire, the war that destroyed the land 1,000 years prior. The kingdom hopes to use the Warrior to destroy the Toxic Jungles and take back the earth, but their presence not only leads to many deaths, but infection by poisonous spores and a plot by a rival kingdom to drive a legion of enraged insects to ravage their valley. Its up to Nausicaa and her friends to find a way to stop the Giant Warrior and the angry insects and hopefully save her people and the world from more violence and destruction.
The film is amazing in 1080p High-Definition presentation that the Blu-Ray version of the film offers, especially when compared to the original DVD release. The picture has been cleaned up and much of the film grain has been taken out. The soundtrack, including the music of composer Joe Hisaishi is seems to have been given a good polish as well and really adds to the overall presentation.
The special features are spread across both the DVD disc and the Blu-Ray and feature items carried over from the original 2-Disc DVD release and brand new features exclusive to the set. The DVD includes Behind the Microphone, a featurette showcasing voice talent from the film, The Birth Story of Studio Ghibli, and the original Japanese trailers and tv spots. Included on the Blu-Ray disc is the Original Japanese Storyboards from the older release, the Behind the Studio: Creating Nausicaa featurette, and The Enter the Lands section featuring a large interactive map with locations inspired by all the worlds from the various Miyazaki films, which also includes a Studio Ghibli Trivia Challenge.
Disney has done it again by providing fans of Hayao Miyazakis work a presentation that is worthy of this extraordinary classic animated film. Its nice to see the level of commitment spent on original Disney films applied to a non-Disney production. The quality in this Blu-Ray release makes it a must-have for anime and Miyazaki fans of all ages. The Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind 2-Disc Combo Pack is available now from Walt Disney Home Entertainment and is rated PG for Violence.

Really? There's so many different songs, and so many different ways they could go with songs. Fast intense skimming, with quick bashes and snaps needs a totally different song than something with some long liners and easy, more fluid wraps. Not to mention the effect a song would have on the editing, there's way too many things to consider for someone to suggest a song.

This post is sponsored by Boudreaux's Butt Paste®, the effective diaper rash cream that treats and prevents diaper rash with every change. Let's kick some rash!
If there is one thing that parents can ALL agree upon, it might be that diaper rash is not fun at all. Not for the baby, and not for the parents or caregivers. Sure, treatment methods may vary, but ultimately? If you find a diaper rash treatment that works for your child, you stick with it. Always. I know for me, once I knew what worked for my babies' skin, there wasn't much that could persuade me to try other products, brands, etc. Having seen my little ones' sore tushies and feeling like I wasn't able to help them feel better wasn't something I wanted to mess around with.
Boudreaux's Butt Paste was a brand I tried for diaper rash treatment because the name caught my attention. It's a brand I love and use even today because it works great on my kids. I still love the name.
My kids all had diaper rashes, but my daughter's first diaper rash was the most memorable. I was so diligent about changing her frequently, and keeping her clean and as dry as possible, and like many diaper rashes, started as just a hint of redness on her diaper area. I patted her dry and put a small amount of cream on her. An hour later, I changed her diaper again. I was very surprised at how red her diaper area was even after I'd used a little bit of cream. This time, I decided we'd do some naked time on a blanket, and I let her "air" for a few minutes. I applied cream much more liberally after this and diapered her again, making a mental note to check her again in an hour. Thankfully, things didn't get worse, and a few days of applying diaper cream liberally had her good as new. Other rashes we have had have been far worse, thankfully only a handful of them- most were about the same. I've tried to have quality diaper creams in the house that help to soothe tender skin and provide a barrier to wetness to keep that baby skin from getting worse and letting it heal. Like I said before, Boudreaux's Butt Paste has always been a favorite brand to Kick some RASH! with!

4 red chips have the same value as 3 green chips.
How many blue chips can you get for 8 yellow chips?
HintGet some chips and make the trades, or represent the trading with colored dots.
AnswerYou can get 20 blue chips for 8 yellow chips.
1 yellow = 2 red, 8 yellow = 16 red
4 red = 3 green, 16 red = 12 green

Here is a link to the site...
The problem is the phone number area and tagline near the top right which I have highlighted in red as shown here...
I have the HTML written like this:

Refined Home Remodeling

Call today for a free estimate (865) 254-1750

And the CSS for that area looks like this:
h2.description { height: 20px; width: 239px; margin: 26px 0px 0px 344px; background: url(../i/gfx_sprite.png) no-repeat -682px -47px; }
h2.contact-info { height: 45px; width: 190px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 393px; background: url(../i/gfx_sprite.png) no-repeat -731px -67px; }
Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this issue?Thank you in advance!
It's the expanding box bug and the double margin float bug.
Add this:
h2.description, h2.contact-info {
overflow:hidden;/* make sure small height doesn't overflow*/
display:inline;/* fix double margin bug*/
IE6 has a double margin bug on the side of any float that is adjacent to the containing block and the margin on that side doubles in error. Adding display:inline is a nonsense fix because it should have no effect but fortunately it cures the bug.
The expanding box bug is that IE6 will always expand a container to holds its contents. In your case the height of 20px is less than the current font-size/ line-height so IE stretches the container to accommodate. The overflow:hidden makes sure that the height is cut off at 20px as designated.
I'm not exactly sure because I don't have IE6 on this machine, but you forgot to mention that there is also this in your stylesheet:
h1.logo, h2.description, h2.contact-info {
display: block;
float: left;
padding: 0;
text-indent: -9999px;
And because your h2.contactinfo has a margin-left you may be a victim of the IE6 double margin bug. What happens if you give the h2.contactinfo a display:inline declaration?
Edit: whoa, there actually is an OT tag :rofl:
Edit #2: beaten by the master...
I don't think it's too bad to put everything in a sprite as long as you keep track where everything is and compact it as much as possible. It's certainly better for the server to have one call rather than multiple etc and usually a big sprite is a smaller size than the sum of its parts.
It may be easier to manage with a few sprites but one sprite is the most optimised way to do it. I suppose it depends whether you have hundreds of images to manage.
lol - took me years to find it also
At least we were both on the same track
I have never heard of the expanding box bug. Thats a new one!
Any ideas on why the slideshow is not showing up?
Oh, I totally agree with you on this, but every element in the sprite used here is in the exact same position as it is on the page. I mean, you could just as well use your Photoshop mock-up (or Fireworks in my case) and save it wholesale (is this correct English?) as a sprite.
Slideshow seems to be working for me. Is it a specific browser?
Ok, I see what you mean Yes you would usually fill all the spaces up with sprites etc rather than having it laid out like a photoshop page. I suppose some people could go overboard with that approach. I always try to fill all the gaps with something unless the gap is there for a reason.
I also do not have a machine running IE6 so I am relying on Adobe Browser Lab and it displayed no slideshow, just a white background area.
As for the sprites... I am still learning guys. I will try to close up some of the space in future instances of making my sprites... Little by little I am learning more. Bear with me.
Seemed to work in my IE6 although there's a slight delay so browserlabs probably took a shot before the page had finished loading.
