|We got about halfway up this route the first time we visited Angel Food Wall. It took us about 3 pitches to figure out we were not on "Tunnel Vision!" What we did of it was fun.

So maybe I've done this route. If so, it was great. Began left of TV, climbing an easy crack to a juggy roof. The crack/groove above narrowed until it squeezed shut under a dark chimney. Ascended into the darkness to a ledge, then traversed right towards some light. Exited a small hole with a bolted belay.
I think the route goes straight up from here but, for full value, we traversed right across a nice face to the base of the tunnel pitch on TV. Compared to the dark abyss on our route, the TV "tunnel" was light as day and a cake walk.
I thought this was one of the coolest routes I've done at Red Rock, and I've done a lot of climbing here. Way more interesting than clipping bolts up Levitation, in my mind. Plus, we were back to our car in about an hour. Fun stuff.

This route looked fine for a starter at RR, but we had a late afternoon start and belayed off the first rap anchor, where we should have gone to the second rap anchor. After that, it was suddenly 3:30 when I was scrambling into this deep, poorly protected dark chimney filled with bat guano. It didn't look like anyone had been thru it, and I wondered if the route was out on the face to the right. The dark chimney was the proper route, but we decided it was crappy and we bailed, as our second group wasn't going to make it before dark. While just rapping from the 2nd rap station to the first 50 feet lower, rope got stuck and had to climb up to free it and then rap down again. Then, the team after us got their rope sucked while rapping down from the first rap anchor so they had to commit to coming back the next day to do the route again... and it made their whole next day suck. But, that's a story they can tell you. Thankfully, after 1.4 pitches of this turd, we did Tunnel Vision and were partially redeemed.
TL;DR, Sandy's Hole is a bat shit filled rope-eater.

I do not get how the administrator can rate a route that he does not know if he was on it or not? As well as a guy who bails after 1.4 pitches?
We climbed this route a few years ago and found it pretty damn fun for 5.6. Go up and through the squeeze chimney that is full of shit, but you stay right of the shit, top out where the chimney stops and head to the light to the right, the route heads to the left to the walk off, or you can head up and right the the Tunnel pitch of Tunnel Vision. This gives you 2 interesting Tunnels.

We recently climbed this route, having arrived at the base of the Angel Food Wall to find 3-4 parties on all the other routes. We read the minimal beta in the guidebook and set off for a "quick" climb so we could do one of the other routes.
It did not end up being quick, but it was a definitely a classic Red Rocks adventure. You will know you are on the right route when you head up the sandy hole in the dark chimney. We did not find there to be that much poop, although it had just stormed recently so maybe we got lucky. We pitched it out like this:
P1: climb into base of chimney, belayed above the 2nd tatty rap station. 200+ ft pitch (we had 70m ropes).
P2: tunnel through sandy hole in back of chimney, horizontal ledge traverse back out of chimney.
P3-4: wandery climbing on jugs diagonally up and left. I think we ended up finishing near the top of Tunnel Vision, although we could have escaped left on a ledge about half a pitch lower.
Walk off.
While this route isn't gonna make it into the SuperTopo any time soon, it was good quality fun and a great and fairly mellow adventure. Plus we didn't have to deal with the hoards on the other routes. It's totally worth doing once.

|+1 for steve and lizzys comments. for a 3 pitch 5.6 this did turn out to be quite an adventure. one of the most unique bits of climbing I've done crawling through that tunnel, way more intense but just as easy as tunnel vision. as steve says, easy to link over to the base of TV tunnel for a good day of vertical caving. great alternative when other routes are busy. don't be afraid, just keep heading up into that darkness!

rating: 5.8- 5b 16 VI- 14 VS 4c PG13
|This seemed much more difficult than the grade suggests due to 2 overhangs and exposure which is impossible to safely protect. The top of of the first pitch has the first which is visible in the picture submitted. You must climb over the left overhanging edge to the ledge on top in order to find rappel slings wrapped around a chock rock deep and slightly high in a corner. Then easy climb till chimney where we had to negotiate around a huge pile of bat guano which was in the middle of the preferred (safer route). We then went up the squeeze chimney which was very tight for me due to my stocky build. Then the easy traverse was not that easy with someone with a fear of heights (like me). The exit was overhanging and with no visibility of the route above as there seemed to be a lot of exposure and minimal areas to place gear. What we could see of the wall seemed like the left wall (as you are looking out) had good hand and foot holds at first and turned slabby after 8 feet of climibing. We could only see 16 feet at most up the wall and it looked pretty vertical to us so we bailed as it was getting late. I had to leave a 9,10 and 11 stopper at the ceiling of the chimney w/ webbing and quick link for a rap anchor. I would definitely suggest that if you haven't climbed long(like myself) that you consider the rating to be STOUT! Oh and we got rope snagged in three different places on rappel. Two of which I was able to climb up but the final rappel had to leave rope and come back the next day to retrieve .

rating: 5.8+ 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c
We attempted this today. When we found it, we wondered why someone bailed 7 meters up a 5.6. About 30 minutes later we found out why and took advantage of the same bail nut.
Agree with a few above, this is STOUT - aka, this is not a 5.6. The squeeze is not only awkward, but lacks as well.
If you are on vacation and find yourself climbing Cookie Monster, Cat in the Hat, Great Red Book, Lotta Balls wall... avoid this route as a "fun" day. It's anything but. Obviously we cannot say we even began to climb the route - maybe it's a cakewalk after the first moves...
Perhaps we should have given the proper Tunnel Vision a go instead.

I've done Sandy Hole 5-6 times, and the route has some interesting moves on it. Essentially it comes down to technique, like the beginning which requires stemming/chimney/smearing/mantle/layback in the first 20 ft. This is the crux, well protected with a #4 cam in the OW. I would say it's 5.7 and a little weird, but there's no way this route is 5.8. It's not a linear route like Birdland, it can be confusing and scary at times, but this does not change the climbing grade. The gear opportunities are sometimes creative, and the traverse at the top past the squeeze can be sewn up. Belay at seat/bolt on tcus. It's not a normal bolt, but I use it anyways. Crank up steep ground outside the hole and traverse right across ledges to find the bolts of Eigerwand, then right and up again to Tunnel Vision.
Bailing anywhere on that route is going to suck A LOT.

|we climbed this route on 3/12/17 after seeing the line for TV(get up early), anyways we think we left a C4 .4 at the first belay(actually it could be anywhere, we don't really know for sure other than its on the route somewhere). If you find it, and happen to read this, and feel like being really cool(buy you a beer or three?)and returning it...hmu Im a Vegas local and could pick it up from you anywhere in town. 702-266-6403

The State of the State 2016-17
Brexit and the business of government
This year's State of the State finds the UK Government moving from an era of challenge around one objective – eliminating the budget deficit – into an era of multiple and complex challenges. The next five years will see additional demands on the public sector as it manages the UK's departure from the EU, continues to drive major reforms and maintains business as usual.
Explore Content
The State of the State report provides a unique, independent analysis of the UK public sector through a business lens. Produced in collaboration with think tank, Reform, the insight is informed by interviews with public sector leaders, citizen research and an in-depth analysis of government data.
For a discussion on the report findings and the Autumn Statement register for our webinars.
The citizen and the state survey
A survey of 1,000 people found seven key findings including:
- 41% of citizens expect public services to worsen because of Brexit
- Public support for taxes to fund public spending is on the rise, for the first time since the 1990's
- 57% feel that the NHS is the top priority, compared with Brexit at 33%
- A digital divide exists amongst citizens by age and social class.
In the words of public sector leaders
Public sector leaders say:
- Brexit will impact on funding, the workforce, priorities and local economies
- Digital transformation is struggling to meet the ambition
- Collaboration and workforce flexibility are key characteristics of the future public sector
- Leadership will be challenged to become more effective, high profile, diverse and continually renewed.
Government through business lenses
Government is not a business. But applying 'business lenses' to the public sector can allow for distinctive perspectives and fresh thinking.
The productivity lens: Ten elements of public sector productivity are exposed to Brexit including public spending levels, Whitehall's capacity and capability, workforce arrangements and research funding in higher education
The talent lens: automation is set to save the government £17bn by 2030 and will drive the use of data to support decision makers
The balance sheet lens: The UK Government's latest balance sheet shows £1.46 trillion of assets and liabilities of £3.56 trillion. The state's net liability rose by £263 billion to reach £2.1 trillion at last count for the 2014-15 financial year.
The state of the public finances
Four questions arise from Brexit as the Government considers its fiscal options:
- Will the mandate or the objective change?
- Will infrastructure spending replace austerity as the dominant fiscal theme?
- Will Brexit compromise or support public sector transformation?
- Will the Government continue to run a deficit and increase its debt?
Government in numbers
- 5.3 million – people employed by the UK public sector
- 73 – UK members of the European Parliament
- 17.4 million – the number of people who voted to leave the EU
- 716 billion – Government income in 2016-17
- 722 billion – Government spend in 2016-17
Governments of the UK
Observations on devolved administrations include:
- Northern Ireland is on a promising path but is uniquely exposed to Brexit and leaders will need to be fully engaged in Brexit negotiations as they unfold
- The EU referendum has marked a second inflection point in Scotland's relationship with the UK. Scottish government policy continues to diverge from the rest of the UK in its approach to public spending and public sector reform
- The central questions for the Welsh government in Brexit negotiations are whether trade deals will support Welsh export industries and whether the UK government will replace EU funding streams.

From headlines in The Onion to commercial parodies on Saturday Night Live, the little cleaning robot known as the Roomba seems to have bumped, turned and swept its way into as many areas of pop culture as it has floors since its 2002 release.
Now, nearly 10 years later, the little-vacuum-that-could is starring in "Roomba Revenge," a new game developed by iRobot for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.
So what can Roomba fans expect from the 99-cent iOS application?
If you guessed "cleaning," "vacuuming," or some combination thereof, you would be correct.
According to Mashable, the game is pretty simple: You control the ersatz Roomba 200 on its dust-eating quest around the house, navigating past furniture obstacles and going head-to-head with dust bunnies as they continue their mission to cover everything in sight.
Watch out though: one touch from a bunny and you'll drop all the dust you've collected.
In other words, there's a reason the game has earned the Apple Store's rating of 9+ for "Infrequent/Mild Cartoon or Fantasy Violence."
The verdict is clear: if Apple users expect to fire up a quick game of Roomba Revenge and be coddled like they would in a game of "Angry Birds," they are sadly mistaken. But as with any vacuum-centered third-person fantasy game developed for the iPad, users should still expect to have plenty of fun.
A representative for Roomba manufacturer iRobot recently explained the impetus behind the game's release to TechCrunch:
No, iRobot isn't becoming a gaming company. They did this just because having fun and making cool stuff is part of their DNA. In fact, the idea for a game featuring the world-famous robot was born via a casual text-message conversation between two iRobot employees.
Just another instance of two great vacuum-robot engineers thinking alike!
So if you have an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch and a hankering for some handheld competitive cleaning, head over the iTunes Store and drop a buck on "Roomba Revenge."

At S.W. Basics, we make our products from scratch using only whole, high potency ingredients. For us, less isn't just more; less is everything. We've found that if we stick with only absolutely essential ingredients and don't add a bunch of extra stuff, we don't need to put a hundred things into our products. Using fewer ingredients means more potent skincare. We don't water it down with cheap synthetics or exotic fillers. It also means that our products are more likely to be safe even on the most sensitive skin. That why everything we sell only has 5 ingredients or less. And they still make you look amazing and smell pretty. Another thing we take really seriously is the sourcing of our ingredients. We want our products to be as healthy for our communities and our planet as they are for our customers. That why we support sustainable agriculture by buying only from organic, Fair Trade, or small-farm sources.
S.W. Basics Exfoliant is pure kitchen-cabinet awesomeness.

Ask a Vet and Get Your Veterinary Questions Answered.
hi there....i did a masters in physiology and my focus was in canine opthalmology and i have seen this may times before.
Several things could be wrong. first off did they discuss the possibility of post-op glaucoma? This can cause moderate pain and therefore cause stomach upset and vomiting and diarrhea. My advice is to start pepcid AC, Prilosec or zantac tonight. Go to your ophthalmologist and get the ocular pressure taken. If it is normal they will give you some GI meds and possibly an anti vomiting drug like Regaln or Cerenia.
Also, after surgery some dogs have a few days of poor regulation of their diabetes. this may play a role as well.
I would definitely get the pressures taken as soon as possible. I hope this helps. Let me know if i can be of further assistance.
Dr. Vitucci
this is great news... therefore i would try basic GI mediations. Have your vet start metronidazole, pepcid (or similar drug), continue sucralfate and the bland diet. The use of an anti-vomiting drug may be necessary to stop the vomiting. I would also be curious if she has pancreatitits. This is a condition of the pancreas when there is inflammation present. Remember diabetes is when the beta cells of the pancreas don't produce insulin...dogs with diabetes are more likely to develop pancreatitis. Goto the vet in the am and have a CBC taken and a canine pancreatic lipase test to make sure pancreatitis is not present. Because she has diabetes we need to be extra cautious!

A young girl's disappearance drives The Lost, Roberta Kray's thrilling page-turner about the London underworld. This tight crime novel bursts with characters of varying degrees of nobility, insights into the mind of the criminal, the journalist and the detective, memorable bit players and a sense of locale that feels lived in.
One reason these coalesce so well may be that Kray, who has written two other crime novels, is the widow of Reggie Kray, a famed gangster who, with twin brother Ronnie, maintained a high profile in London in the 1950s and '60s, flourishing in such rackets as armed robbery and protection. They even owned a nightclub like Ray Stagg, one of the more complex characters in The Lost.
What triggers The Lost is a conversation between Len Curzon, a city reporter gone to seed and booze, and BJ Barrington, a big thug in jail for a small offense. BJ wants Len to write his biography; Len, who has written a few gangster-celebrity bios, is not interested in chronicling the life of a 24-year-old minor criminal. But he is interested in Paul Deacon, another prisoner in jail for the murder of Tony Keppell, the young scion of a well-known gangster family. Curzon's curiosity about Deacon's tete-a-tete with an attractive young woman triggers a complicated, enthralling story.
Among the key players: Harry Lind, a private eye who straddles mainstream and underworld; Jess Vaughan, a sensual reporter who is a gofer for Curzon; Sharon Harper, an opportunist who weds and beds some of London's most authoritative gangsters; and Grace Harper, the missing girl, and her (maybe) evil twin, Ellen Shaw.
Eventually a sort of justice begins to surface, putting all the worlds Kray conjures into some sort of order. The dialogue crackles, the plot negotiates hairpin turns, and the characters are always credible. Is The Lost a great novel? That might be too high praise. But there's no doubt it's great entertainment.

Romney, Obama veer back to economy in foreign-policy debate
worf Mcallen, TXOct. 23, 2012 10:39 a.m.
This election:
takers vs makers
consumers vs producers
Republic vs Communism
Independence vs Government control
Ever notice how elementary school children look like prisoners?
Third try screen name Mapleton, UTOct. 23, 2012 8:21 a.m.
Good point. After all, any reporter can watch the actual debate just like we did.
Why give the AP view when DN's political reporters are capable of watching and reporting?
They are playing right into the hands of new media.
worf Mcallen, TXOct. 23, 2012 12:51 a.m.
Ying Fah,
Sorry, but the Navy of today is not as advanced as you think. All this technology is going to cost us a trillion dollars less? That makes sense to you?
Capability? We just lost a big chunk of NASA to Muslims, while giving billions to there Brotherhood.
Obama can't tell the difference between a video and terrorist attack. Can't even protect the embassy?
Blocking an investigation of thousands of American weapons to Mexican cartels. These weapons killed men, women, and children.
What good foreign policy are you seeing?
Joe Moe Logan, UTOct. 22, 2012 11:38 p.m.
I may be a Republican, but I believe Obama has been quite good in foreign affairs; Romney never had much hope of taking an edge in this category. His goal was probably a tie, and he came close to that tonight (CNN poll gave a 8 point spread, which is pretty close). Really, his main goal tonight needed to be to put undecided voters at ease that he could be at least OKAY at foreign affairs, so they can turn their attention to what they really care about, which is the economy, deficit, unemployment. I think he did that.
As a CBS commentator said, "This was the least important debate" to Americans (not to be confused with UNimportant). My question is, this is the one that happens a week before the vote, so does it stick with voters more? If so, I think Obama wins in two weeks. But if in those two weeks people refocus to the economy, it will be close.

@worf Mcallen, TX
?????? Modern warfare has changed considerable since the days of confrontation with the former Soviet Union. With the shift to asymmetric warfare and the problems introduced by dysfunctional nation-states like Syria and Iran or terrorist groups operating out of dysfunctional nation-states like Mali, Yemen, and Somalia, how many nuclear supercarriers (with associated aircraft and support naval forces), nuclear ICBMs, nuclear attack and missle-carrying submarines are necessary for carrying out combat operations in the Middle East?
The United States no longer faces a war on continental Europe and the high seas of either the Atlantic or Pacific. Those days are gone. Today's military is dependent upon technology and fast response. The use of drones, technology and cyber security are are the center of the new frontiers of modern warfare.
With reference to your juvenile remarks about " . . . the commander has learned about a ship which has air planes landing on it, or can go under water", according to the transcript of the debate, it appears you were criticizing Romney for his desire to rebuild the old navy rather than understand the new navy of today.

"Economy and foreign policy is like ham & eggs"
and Romney sure seemed to agree with Obama's recipes, But thats alright I am sure Romney will give his etch a sketch a good shake an come out with all new positions tomorrow.
FT salt lake city, UTOct. 22, 2012 10:22 p.m.
Saw another Romney tonight. The Etch a Sketch is still working. No wonder he left as Govenor after only term and a 35% approval rating.
Mad Hatter Provo, UTOct. 22, 2012 10:14 p.m.
Never thought I'd see it, but Romney morphed again! There were times where it appeared that Barack Obama was debating with himself. Romney the moderate, agreeing with Obama on foreign policy. What ever happened to Tough Talking Romney? He even agreed on sanctions with Iran and the success Obama has enjoyed. It was mind-boggling. And there wasn't even a wink to the neocon architects of the pre-debate Romney foreign policy.
Of course, there was the discussion on the economy and national debt as essential parts of maintaining a strong America, and again there was the question of how Romney was going to grow the economy and reduce the debt while cutting $5 trillion in taxes across the board and increasing defense spending by $2 trillion.
Romney's desire to increase the military seemed to focus on the days pre-WWII when there was a demand for quantity not quality. Nowadays, a single naval strikeforce has 10x the power of the entire U.S Navy during WWII. He argued for a military designed more to fight the last war than to be prepared to fight the next war -- a true Cold Warrior!

Yo Fred!
The topic of the debate was "Foreign Policy".
Important topic to the majority of voters.
Say No to BO Mapleton, UTOct. 22, 2012 9:47 p.m.
After a half hour they were just repeating talking points we've all heard before.
Repeat after me: "Mr. Romney has pledged $2 trillion additional dollars that the military has not asked for."
or Mitt tells us for the 100th time: "I know how to create 12 million new jobs."
I'm tired of these two regurgitating their scripts.
I'm a proponent of the Mulligan election process. We put None of the Above on the ballot and if he wins both parties have 90 days to bring us another candidate.

What the first two comments have failed to acknowledge is that the most important issue to voters is the economy. Mitt Romney didn't need to win the debate on foreign policy. He pivoted back to the economy every chance that he got. I watched the PBS commentary afterwards and they agreed that this was a draw with maybe a slight edge for Romney.
Moderate Salt Lake City, UTOct. 22, 2012 9:32 p.m.
Romney changed the subject to "economy", because he clearly had nothing on foreign policy.

Brief Introduction:
After the integration of Xinjiang, the Qing government respected the religious belief of minorities and protected the religious rights of people of different nationalities. So the Qing government appropriated ten thousand liang silver (equals to 1.8 million RMB at present) and ordered Erluo Muzhabu of Aqimu Boke(a highest position in Tajik group), the highest administrative governor at that time in Ningyuan city to build a mosque for those who believe in Islam. Besides the money coming from central government, Erluo Muzhabu, using his power, collected money, grain, and labors from all villages.
At the same time, he also employed many experienced craftsmen from inland to build the mosque. It was completed in the 38th year of Qianlong period (namely, 1773). After Beytulla Mosque had been completed, the mosque became famous and it attracted many people to study and preach there. At that time, the number of people studying there is as many as two hundred. They would graduate from the mosque after five years' study. And they would be given a religious position according to their scorings. So Beytulla Mosque was also called "Mai Di Li Si" which means senior religious school.
The original mosque occupied an area of 18 hundred square meters and was composed of minaret, the Religious Service Hall, and preaching hall. Beytulla Mosque has been repaired and extended since its complete two hundred years ago. After the extension in 1865, the mosque could hold 15 hundred people to do religious service.
In the year 1983, the central government of People's Republic of China appropriated a large sum of money for repairing and decorating the mosque. The repair made the old mosque have a new face and at the same time the mosque was ranked as the important protection of cultural relics at national level.
In recent years, the mosque received many friendly organizations, religious people, and famous scholars from both home and abroad coming for doing religious service or touring. In October 1996, the mosque was repaired and extended again. The repair was sponsored by Chinese Islamic Association and supported by governments at all levels and religious people.
Now, except keeping the minaret, the original preaching hall was dismantled because of long being out of repair and a new preaching hall of Islamic style was built. The new mosque occupies an area of 6950 square meters and it can hold 30 to 35 hundred people for a time.

My friend's daughter's front teeth began to rot (I don't know the specific term, but they appear to be rotting - turning brown and getting smaller) at about 18 months. She read the book you folks keep mentioning, and immediately took her off all grains. I do not believe she is doing anything else except the avoidance of All Grains. The rotting, which would visibly get worse every day, stopped within days/weeks. Or at least slowed to an almost halt. The dentist refuses to believe it has anything to do with mother's actions, of course.
Same friend's other daughter, now five, had an extra adult tooth coming in behind her baby tooth (yes, extra, there's yet another adult tooth still up there). Same dentist wanted to knock her out to pull the tooth. My friend, who is a nurse, did an awful lot of research on general anesthetic on young children, and decided this was not a safe route to go. She found another dentist who agreed to pull the tooth while she was awake (with a bit of laughing gas).
The idea of eliminating all grains sounds challenging, but worth doing if it will help. I need help to clarify which foods are and are not grains for the purpose of healing tooth decay. Would beans, peas, lentils, potatoes be okay? Some grains I am thinking of that my family eats are rice, quinoa, millet, wheat, oats. Seems like any bread, pasta, or cracker product would be off the list, yes? I'm also thinking that one would want to eliminate or greatly reduce sugars/sweeteners also? Would agave be okay or are there any sweeteners that would be okay? Dairy and fruit would be okay?
I am just starting my mission to treat my daughters terrible teeth naturally but wanted to say that for those who tried and had to resort to the conventional.... there is a new method of drilling that uses a lazar instead of a drill and is painless. My daughter (at 3.5yrs) so far had 3 cavities filled without any pain, sedatives, numbing agents or anything. I really hope we can avoid anymore conventional dental work using all of these suggestions but for the person who posted they ended up not having a choice just wanted to put it out there. BTW... every other conventional dentist told me we had to pull her two front teeth and that fillings wouldnt work but despite having to have it re-filled a couple of times, this is working for her (for now).

Quinoa is not considered a grain, but we limit our consumption because it is a seed, and the Peruvian people are suffering so since quinoa is big business. It was their staple food, and now most cannot afford it. They are being forced to subsist on processed foods and/or go hungry. Ugh.
Anywaaaayyy, the rest of your list is considered grain. It is a challenge to eat this way, but we all eat so much less now because our foods are more nutrient dense. Some people interpret "grain-free" as "all you can eat bacon," but that isn't the case, sadly. LOL. We are not strictly paleo, so we still have raw, grassfed milk and raw, local cow and goat cheese. LO swishes with water after he eats, especially after fruit, and he gets plenty of virgin coconut oil in his diet and on his toothbrush.
If you're having a hard time finding local sources for grassfed and foraged meats and dairy, check localharvest.org and your local co-op. We use Nutiva coconut oil that we order from Amazon.
Do you have any good reading to explain why to avoid grains? I understand avoiding sugar, but not the grains... what if they're whole grains? We eat oatmeal nearly every morning, sprouted bread for sandwiches for lunch, and usually rice, quinoa, or whole grain pasta for suppers. No grains would definitely be a challenge!
Check the Weston A. Price study for the role of grains in tooth decay. The children in that study were fed rolls with their meals every day, but the clean wheat had been sprouted and fresh ground every morning to make the bread. Today's wheat, even organic, has been so hybridized that it is gut poison to everyone.
For those of you who are making your own toothpastes.. Where are you buying your supplies and how exactly are you making it (like the proportions you are using)?
~Agnes Sallet Von Tannenberg
Thank you for all your informative posts. We are currently battling this issue with my almost-2 year old. I have been trying to heal his cavities naturally but it is very, very hard. We brush with Xylitol 4 times a day and I wipe his teeth after he eats anything (besides drinking water) and during the day after he nurses. (We are beginning to work on gentle, gradual night-weaning. It's a process... For now he is still nursing 2-3 times a night ) He is taking fermented cod liver oil and butter oil, and a D3 supplement.
I have two questions:
1. Do any of you have practical suggestions as to what to give a picky toddler to eat (besides just more fruits/vegetables) that does not involve grains? Or websites/recipes/information about toddler-friendly non-grain recipes? He's small anyway, and not a big eater.
So much "kid food" (and the food my guy likes best) are grains- toast, oatmeal, rice, pasta... I have read Ramiel Nagel's book, but my toddler is very, very picky and I can't imagine him eating liver, fish eggs,organ meats etc. He already eats a lot of vegetables and fruit ,and I have eliminated cereal and wheat pasta and drastically cut back on the bread.... I've been soaking his oatmeal and rice overnight. I am vegetarian (except for fish occasionally) but my husband is an omnivore. My little guy has not yet eaten any meat, although we've tried giving it to him lots of times. He likes eggs, yogurt and cheese, but will not touch cow's milk or kefir, What do I feed him? I feel like we have been relying on the same few tried and true meals but I am looking for more ideas, especially grain-free.
and 2. Anyone out there also suspect their toddler has a "lip tie" that is contributing to tooth decay via night nursing? Maybe that's another thread. I'm new here.
Thank you!
But Gabby isnt baking soda an abrasive? I know a lot of people use it for teeth whitening for this purpose. If you do it too much you can scrub your enamel away and im worried people would be overzealous and damage their teeth even further :[
You don't need to spit out the toothpaste since there is nothing dangerous in it. It is safe to use on toddlers and babies too. This is where I got my recipehttp://wellnessmama.com/2500/homemade-remineralizing-toothpaste-recipe/
I'm trying out this recipe and the xylitol gum. Dd has a small cavity in a molar that the dentist says will need to be filled at some point. He doesn't want to put her through it now since she's only 4yo. We'll try this for a few months and see how it goes at the next checkup.
Treehugs im a big fan of Dr. Johns lollipops :x They have ones with natural flavors/colors as well! Something to consider if the gum doesnt work.
Try to look for the ones with "natural flavors and coloring" I just feel like 1. They dont stain as much and 2. Well..why not if they taste just as good :)
It really tastes just like a lollipop! And I figure it'd be something they like but of course you'd have to let them know the difference between these lollipops and the bad kinds! My only complaint is that the shipping is expensive, maybe 10 dollars a box. Also i'd avoid the drink mixes since they have something like 4G of xylitol and I really feel like thats too much. I think you're just begging for gastrointestinal issues with that kind of dose and I feel like the lollipops are better anyway since it sits on your teeth and tongue for longer.
They also have xylitol hard candies with 1/4 gram xylitol but the choking issue makes me weary for a child that age
I think this is an awesome post. My daughter had a deep cavity filled a silver filling. I was so devastated with the whole process and afraid that this metal can cause harm to her health. My son has a cavity and I would like to do anything I can to avoid a filling. So please keep your natural and homeopathic solutions coming. I am listening. Thanks!

I read that it was because of the starches. I can say, for one, that you DO NOT need to avoid whole grains while mineralizing teeth. I make breads that are 97% whole grain (note, not whole wheat...there is a big difference). I do not find that it is gut poison, but contrary to the popular belief and teachings online nowadays, quite necessary for my digestive health. I did not avoid that at all and still saw amazing results. I would not advise switching your diet in that way.
I had a cavity when I went to see the dentist 3 years ago. I was avoiding going for various reasons.
I started using spring water from a spring nearby and also made my own tooth powder, so that helped me avoid fluoride. I also avoided glycerin and mineral oil that was most likely in the toothpaste as well. This was a step toward helping my teeth remineralize. All I used for my tooth powder was 2 Tbsp. baking soda, 1 Tbsp. sage, and 1/2 Tbsp.sea salt. That's it...cheap and easy, and it doesn't go bad.
Last year, I learned about magnesium in bone broths and other foods and how most people are deficient. I was introduced to "The Magnesium Miracle" through a free online seminar. I also learned about magnesium chloride. I think it was this January/February that I started doing more bone broth for soup bases, making and applying magnesium oil (magnesium chloride mixed with water) to my skin, and for two weeks, I cut out sugar entirely. I fully believe that this, mixed with the addition of having raw milk and raw butter again made a big difference. In that time, I had found that the hurt that I had been experiencing from the tooth disappeared. When we went to see the dentist last week, she said that I had no cavities. What a wonderful, pleasant surprise! I honestly had doubts that it would work, but now having experienced it for myself, was very happy to tell others...who of course are just a skeptical as I was. Thing is, I know it worked and they cannot really argue with that!
I avoid xylitol. I suspected when it came out and had so many benefits that it was not as good as some would want us to believe. I am always skeptical of hype in marketing and quick acceptance of any teaching by the masses: http://www.naturalnews.com/022986_xylitol_health_sugar.html#ixzz2yDPfWia7 A better choice if you are looking to xylitol for the sweetness factor only in too powders and toothpastes would be stevia.
When you write "whole grains" can you give examples - would brown rice be included in this? Would wheat kernals be included?
Thanks for your post!
When I was referring to whole grains, I was specifically referring to wheat kernels. I have used both conventional wheat and organic for flour and making flour. Organic is by far my choice, but I don't always have it available to me. I know that giving a nod to modern wheat will make many people cringe, but that is what it is. I would use the ancient stuff too if I could get it to grow in sufficient quantities. I would like to try it.
I have not used solely brown rice for some time now. I have been using a mix of 5 types of rice. It is a mix that I found at the store. I have always been intrigued with wild rice, however, and might go for that next. White rice has not been a part of our eating for many, many years now.
I hope that you hear what I heard...no cavities. It is the strangest thing to hear when you KNOW that you had one/some. Haha...if there was a dancing emoticon, I would be posting quite a few here. Ah, maybe this will do:
I might need to start a new thread on this, but this is related to healing teeth in a different way. I am wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to heal an adult tooth that has been knocked nearly loose so that the roots will reconnect and you can save the tooth?

Potty trouble for Jessica Simpson!
In NYC on Monday, the singer and designer, 30, encountered some difficulties in the ladies room at posh department store Bergdorf Goodman. Naturally, she shared a photo!
"Short girl problems," Simpson wrote beneath a TwitPic of her feet, dangling from the toilet, evidently too short to reach the floor below.
The star is in the Big Apple with younger sister Ashlee, nephew Bronx and their mom Tina to work on their tween denim line for the Jessica Simpson Collection. One thing Simpson's not addressing head-on: Web rumors speculating her pregnancy.
Simpson, engaged to former NFL star Eric Johnson for nearly a year, was snapped yesterday in NYC clutching her belly, covered up with a winter-weather poncho.

U.S. Department of Transportation
Federal Highway Administration
|ACTION: Section 112 of the Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, District of Columbia, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 - Highway Priority Projects REPLY DUE April 26, 2006
|April 11, 2006
Dwight A.Horne
Director, Office of Program Administration
|Refer To:
|See Addressees
Section 112 of Division A of the Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, the District of Columbia, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-115) provided $25,000,000 for the highway priority projects (24 projects) identified under this section in the Statement of the Managers in the Conference Report (House Report 109-307). This amount is reduced to $24,750,000 after applying the one percent across-the-board rescission set in Section 3801 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-148), which required each project amount be decreased accordingly. Additionally, by interagency agreement, the $4,950,000 made available for the "Maritime Guaranteed Loans (Title XI)" will be provided to Maritime Administration for administration.
These projects are being funded by a sum in an amount not to exceed 2.75 percent of all sums authorized for the following programs: the Federal Lands Highway Program (FLHP), Surface Transportation Program (STP), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) program, the National Highway System (NHS) Program, Interstate Maintenance (IM) program, Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program (HBRRP), the Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS) program, and the Equity Bonus Program.
We are, therefore, allocating $19,800,000 of program code LY70 funds (DELPHI Code 15X0R93050-050LY70500) to the States with an equal amount of obligation authority, as indicated in the attachment to this memorandum. These funds are available until expended, and the Federal share is 100 percent. These funds are also subject to obligation limitation, however, it is special obligation limitation that is also available until used. Since the contract authority is available until expended and the obligation authority is available until used, there is no deadline by which the funds must be obligated or transferred to another Federal agency.
The funding for these projects will be treated as demo or high priority project funding, and Demo IDs will be assigned for each project. We have determined that this is the best way to properly track these funds to ensure that they are only obligated and expended for the particular project for which they were designated. Each project has been assigned its unique Demo ID that links the funding to the specific project description as listed in Section 112 of Division A of the Statement of the Managers in Conference Report 109-307. The Demo IDs under which these funds are being distributed are also included in the attachment to this memorandum.
This section also allows the Secretary to use amounts made available to make grants for any surface transportation project otherwise eligible for funding under Title 23 or Title 49 of the United States Code (U.S.C.). But because Section 112 of Division A of Public Law 109-115 links this funding to the projects "identified under this section in the statement of the managers accompanying this Act," the project descriptions in the attachment to this memorandum define the proposed scope of work and limits for which this funding may be used. Any changes to these project descriptions would have to be accomplished through a letter from the Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittee chairmen or legislation.
Additionally, Section 112 allows for these funds to be transferred to another Federal agency, at the request of the State. For non-traditional projects unrelated to highway improvements or other activities that are normally not eligible under title 23, the receiving Federal agency may administer the project in accordance with their own appropriate Federal requirements. However, since the project description defines the scope of work on which the funds may be legally expended, the funding for the project can be only used for the activities within the scope and physical limits as defined by the project description.
In cases where the transfer is for a highway or other Federal-aid eligible activity, the project must be carried out by the receiving agency in accordance with title 23, U.S.C. requirements, although the receiving Federal agency may utilize their own Federal Acquisition Regulations for letting of contracts.
Please forward all requests from your State to transfer funds to another Federal agency by April 26, via email, to Joseph Taylor (firstname.lastname@example.com), of my staff. We are giving the States until April 26 to help facilitate these transfers in an orderly manner, and minimize the number of allocations that must be issued by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (HCF). For requests received by April 26, we will withdraw those funds and obligation authority from the States, and HCF will transfer or allocate these funds to the respective Federal agencies. We anticipate that a single allocation would be issued to each Federal agency by mid-May listing all the projects for which funding is being transferred to that agency. Subsequent requests from the States to transfer funds will be completed as they are received or possibly at scheduled intervals. Any subsequent requests to transfer funds to a particular Federal agency would then require a revision to the previously issued allocation to that agency. In cases where State Law prohibits a direct transfer to a Federal Land Management Agency (FLMA), Federal Lands Highway (FLH) will continue the practice of administering the project with the FLMA.
On January 12, the Secretary of Transportation received a letter from the Chairmen of the Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittees that provided clarifying information for several of these Section 112 projects. The Office of the Secretary of Transportation is currently preparing a response letter to the Subcommittee Chairmen outlining the Department's position on the clarifications. The Secretary's letter will be distributed to the States when finalized, along with any changes.
By copy of this memorandum, we are requesting that the Finance Division of the Office of the Chief Financial Officer process this request.
If you have any questions, please contact Joseph Taylor, of my staff, on 202-366-1564.

Median Home Prices Rise Most in Seven Years
Washington, DC, Feb. 12, 2013 -- A growing number of metropolitan areas had higher median home prices in the fourth quarter, with the national price showing the strongest year-over-year increase in seven years, according to the latest quarterly report by the National Association of Realtors.
The median existing single-family home price rose in 133 out of 152 metropolitan statistical areas based on closings in the fourth quarter compared with same quarter in 2011, while 19 areas had price declines, NAR said.
In the third quarter 120 areas showed increases from a year earlier, while in the fourth quarter of 2011 only 29 metros were up.
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said all the conditions for strong price growth are at play.
"Home sales are on a sustained uptrend, mortgage interest rates are hovering near record lows and unsold inventory is at the lowest level in 12 years," he said.
Home sales are being fueled by a pent-up demand and job creation, along with still favorable affordability conditions and rents rising at faster rates. Our population has been growing faster than overall housing stock, so supply and demand dynamics are very much at play."
Yun added that more housing construction is needed to relieve some of the pressure in the market and keep home prices from overheating.
The national median existing single-family home price was $178,900 in the fourth quarter, up 10.0 percent from $162,600 in the fourth quarter of 2011, which is the strongest year-over-year price increase since the fourth quarter of 2005 when the median price jumped 13.6 percent. In the third quarter the price rose 8.8 percent from a year earlier.

Lost in the hubbub yesterday caused by the resignation of School Reform Commission member Heidi Ramirez were signals from Superintendent Arlene Ackerman that she is taking a more conciliatory tone in negotiations with the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers.
Ackerman has said she wants full site-based selection of teachers, a longer day and year, and control of most teacher preparation time. Under the law that gave the state control over the District, she can impose those terms. In the past, Ackerman has made it clear that she is prepared the so-called "nuclear option."
The SRC has the power to dictate teacher assignment, lengthen the school day and year, and regulate the use of teacher time, among other things.
She is also looking to establish some kind of "strategic compensation," or pay-for-performance. The District must still negotiate compensation or benefits.
At a press availability following the SRC meeting on Wednesday, Ackerman said that the District and PFT negotiating teams have been meeting two or three times a week and are "making progress."
"I've been really pleased that on some of these tough issues, the PFT has been willing to engage in discussions with the District," she said. Asked whether she was prepared to use the so-called "nuclear option" and impose terms, she replied that "right now, we're just concentrating on trying to get some collaboration around these issues and not even go there yet. Maybe we can get there without even having to think about that because we are talking.... Nothing is off the table."
Although the PFT contract expires on Aug. 31, it is unlikely an agreement will be reached by then -- because, Ackerman also pointed out, serious talks about salaries and benefits can't occur until the state has adopted a budget, giving the District a clear financial picture. And that may not happen until well into September. "There's a lot hinging on when the budget is finalized," she said.
Last week, PFT president Jerry Jordan sent a letter to members outlining the District's proposals and saying they would "weaken your voices in your schools and workplaces, limit your professional opportunities, and eliminate all traditional transfers, replacing them with site selection and arbitrary administrative assignment." He characterized the District's proposals as focusing on "unilateral control, not quality education."
Jordan's letter also said that "the task of improving our public schools takes shared vision, shared responsibility and shared accountability. It requires reform done with us, not to us, as the Obama administration has said."
He is right about that, and maybe Ackerman and the SRC are coming to realize -- as did her predecessors -- that imposing terms on a reluctant or even hostile union will not get the District where it wants to go. Notebook board member Ron Whitehorne, a longtime teacher, observed that the administration, "instead of assuming it has an exclusive franchise on what children and schools need, should seek to engage teachers in the work of reform." He cautioned that the nuclear option also raises the specter of job actions by teachers and a buildup of teacher resentment that can only hurt student learning.
There are many activist groups in the city, some that include teachers themselves, who realize a need for reshaping the teachers' contract in significant ways. But let's hope that both sides recognize that it needs to be done collaboratively and not by fiat.

Brian McKnight is not the daddy of a 14-year-old boy who lives in Florida, TMZ reports.
Last year the boy's mother sued the R&B artist, claiming he was responsible for $341,640 in back child support payments.
When the singer didn't respond to her lawsuit, the judge issued a default judgement against him stating he had to pay up. But now that McKnight has taken a DNA test proving he's no longer responsible, the judge has tossed the case out.
Brian and his ex-wife are parents to sons Brian Jr., 19, and Niko, 17.

Following last week's teaser, the cat is finally out of the bag.
Jaguar has pulled the wraps off its fastest and most powerful saloon car ever at the Los Angeles Auto Show and just as we suspected, it'll be shunted along by the same supercharged 5-litre direct injection V8 as the XKR-S.
This means thunderous outputs of 405kW and 680Nm, putting it firmly in the same ballpark as the 386kW/700Nm E 63 AMG and 412kW/680Nm M5.
This urge is shoved through the back wheels via an eight speed ZF automatic gearbox with a corner recognition system designed to hold the correct gear for exits.
Expect it to take just 4.6 seconds to screech from standstill to 100km/h. Keep the pedal planted and it shouldn't take too long to reach the electronically-nannied top speed of 300km/h.
You'll also enjoy a more enthralling aural experience to go with your speed, as the super saloon's bespoke XFR-S exhaust system, with an X-piece and near straight-through rear pipes, is said to 'crackle' on deceleration.
The dynamic aspect has been well thought out too, with comprehensive revisions to both the front and rear suspension allowing Jaguar to boast about lateral stiffness increases of up to 30 percent.
Furthermore, the electronic active differential and DSC stability systems have been recalibrated to sharpen the Jag's cornering talent.
As you'd have gathered by glancing at the pictures, this cat's no sleeper thanks to some dramatic exterior styling modifications (including an 'ironing board' boot spoiler) and a set of 20-inch 'Varuna' alloy wheels.
Of course, the body mods have an aerodynamic purpose too, Jaguar claiming a 68 percent reduction in lift and, because many of the bits and pieces are hewn from carbon fibre, some weight is saved as well.
The racy theme creeps inside the cabin where a host of exclusive trimmings abound, including 'carbon' leather and contrasting highlight micro-piping and stitching.
Just don't haul that cheque book out just yet. Our local Jaguar contact tells us that the XFR-S is currently under investigation for the South African market, but hasn't been confirmed yet.

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
Pros: two tone leather interior with heated seats.
Cons: haven't found it.
Advice: try onegreat handling on and off road very nice interior. great turning radious and fantastic sterio.
Pros: windows
Cons: Power
Advice: BUY IT!Fun to drive, a real SUV.
Pros: Can't just pick a feature. This vehicle has many great features.
Cons: The only problem I have is, it needs a back up sensor or camera. BADLY! A friend of ours, who also is a Hummer 3 owner, already drove OVER a Wal-Mart buggy. Crushed it. No damage to the Hummer. :)
Advice: There are a lot of reviews out there to find out what people think, but to really find out about this vehicle, you need to go and test drive it for yourself.Absolutely had a blast on the test drive. Nothing like looking sideways and feeling like you're fixing to fall over and don't. Very nice smooth ride. The vehicle is no speed racer, but wasn't looking for a race car. As far as comfort, no complaints. Actually, our hummer feels and looks very luxurious. We are averaging about 17 MPG at this point. Better than our Chevrolet Suburban we owned. The only complaint I have is the limited view when backing up. With the smaller window and tire, a back up sensor is needed as a safety device.
Pros: Safety/Price/Appearance
Cons: Needs back up sensor.
Advice: test drive during the day and night/negotiate price/Awesome to drive. I will have back up sensor put on, should have come on vehicle due to size. Overall, very happy with feel and drive. Great purchase, so fun to drive.
Pros: Lots of room, sexy vehicle
Cons: 10 miles to the gallon
Advice: Like nothing else.This has to be the best SUV I have seen yet. It is a sleek, sexy and surpisingly powerful vehicle for its size. However, if you're looking for fuel efficiency... this (or any large SUV) is not for you. If gas is not a concern... you will not find a sexier SUV. The one I drove had a 6' lift, 37' tires and was glossy black. Lots of room, touch screen navigation, dvd player etc... it was loaded to the 9's. I figure with all the extras this vehicle had over $70k spent on it.
Pros: Off road ability
Cons: Would like more options in the cab
Advice: If your concerned about what people think of you buy a Toyota HybridJust bought a 06 H2 SUT and believe I made the right choice for me. I don't mind the gas mileage my wife's Jeep only averages 13 mpg and my old truck was the same. I don't off road very often but the area we go to has terrible roads that have claimed plenty of plastic bumper covers and extra body parts. The one Hummer I've seen up there always makes it through and has never lost any body moldings. I'll tell you one thing that made me pick the H2 is all the people who absolutely hate these vehicles for reasons that don't make any sense. Looking at the idiots on the FUH2 web site made we want one of these things even more. Thanks FUH2!
Pros: comfort
Cons: lack of horsepower
Advice: do not buy it if you are looking for quick acceleration or horsepowerThe truch is very sluggish at best!
