2014: The Year That Film Broke
Best of 2014 By Landon Palmer on December 16, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWhen Interstellar's credits rolled, I felt satisfied and relieved – not only because I enjoyed the stunning but imperfect film, but because the very experience of seeing the film on film went smoothly. In a packed house at an Indianapolis IMAX theater late on a rainy midweek opening night, all sub-three hours (and an unfathomable number of feet) of 70mm film cycled through the light of the projector without incident. I had heard stories of disastrous projection experiences at advance screenings from London to San Francisco, and the theater's manager didn't assuage my concerns about the volatility of the epic undertaking when he announced, via microphone, how full the plate of 70mm film is, and how Nolan's 168-minute work could not be a minute longer without the celluloid literally falling off. Even though the 70mm projector and all its needs were invisible to us, Interstellar was not the only spectacle on display that evening – the existence of the apparatus that made the experience possible was a powerful reminder of the increasingly rare experience of filmgoing as an event. And what a strange experience it is to emote over the same massive images with a room full of strangers. I had this experience twice in 2014 – once with Christopher Nolan's Hollywood epic, and the other with Goodbye to Language 3D, the most recent work of octogenarian cinematic provocateur Jean-Luc Godard. Though it's hard to imagine two theatrically released 2014 films that are more different, each of these works fully inhabit and embrace the […]
Does Time Actually Pass Slower in Dreams?
Features By Kevin Carr on December 3, 2014 | Be the First To CommentOne of my favorite things to do as I've gotten older is to take naps. I am an expert nap-taker, even a better nap-taker than sleeper most nights. I never understood why children fight them so much, considering they have been a hobby of mine since college. Four years ago, Christopher Nolan made one of the highest-profile films about sleeping. In the summer of 2010, Inception did more for dreaming than films like 1985's Dreamscape ever did. Like his most recent film Interstellar, Nolan also brought to life on the big screen some concepts and possible misconceptions about dreaming. One of these was the idea that there is a sort of time dilation in dreams. As the character of Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) points out rather succinctly in the film: "Five minutes in the real world gives you an hour in the dream." In other words, it's a bit like the opposite of what happens to Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway while prancing around black holes in Interstellar. Is Nolan simply obsessed with time dilation for his characters, or is he on to something? This got me thinking: Does time really move slower in a dream?
Is the 'Interstellar' Unlimited Unlimited Ticket For You?
Features By Kate Erbland on November 17, 2014 | Be the First To CommentChristopher Nolan's outer space opera, Interstellar, has yet to crack the $100 million mark domestically — although it is close, and could potentially pass that marker as you read these very words — but Paramount Pictures is already banking on return viewers to help drive the film's box office. In fact, they're making it even easier for 'stellar superfans to see the film again (and again and again and again) with a shiny new unlimited ticket program. The studio, in tandem with AMC Theatres, has just released word that they've launched an "out-of-this-world opportunity" to see the film as much as you'd like. In AMC Theatres. Until the movie is out of theaters, we guess. Although this specific ticket is the first of its kind, similar specialty deals have recently been offered for other blockbusters. Regal Theatres offered a so-called "super ticket" for Transformers: Age of Extinction — another Paramount offering — just this summer, allowing moviegoers to tack $15 on to their ticket price to get two different digital Transformers movies and a digital copy of Extinction upon its home video release. The year before, Paramount gave a "super" treatment to their Anchorman 2, a $33 offer that gave fans the chance to the sequel in theaters before its official release date, along with downloads of the first film, the "lost movie" Wake Up, Ron Burgundy and a pre-order of Anchorman 2 via digital download. Still, this Interstellar unlimited ticket is the first offer to specifically offer fans the chance to see the same film for a set price. But should you do […]
Could Humans Colonize a Planet on the Rim of a Black Hole?
Features By Kevin Carr on November 12, 2014 | Be the First To CommentAs one might expect following the release of any highly anticipated film from a well-respected director, Christopher Nolan's Interstellar was met with some rave reviews but also some harsh criticisms. All character issues aside, many people have been taking aim at the science in the film. It seems odd that such scrutiny is given to a movie when the director's previous film involved a billionaire who dressed up as a bat to fight crime, who also managed to heal a broken back with a rope and some push-ups in an undisclosed hell-prison with only a dedicated CNN feed and an insane inmate to keep him company, but there you go. In fact, all the science dissection of Interstellar prompted celebrity astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson to offer his support for the film's underlying scientific themes. He certainly enjoyed the film and was willing to forgive a number of science fiction issues, but we have to remember that the CBS interviewers are asking the difference between a black hole and a wormhole, so there's a certain degree of dumbing down his answers needed. Tyson also claims Contact to be his favorite and the most realistic science fiction movie he's ever seen, so we have to wonder if he's just pushing for the McConaissance above all else. Instead of focusing on a sweeping examination of the science as a whole in Interstellar, I have to wonder about one part, and let's give a big, fat SPOILER ALERT before getting to it. If you haven't seen Interstellar, you'll […]
'Interstellar' and the Relativity of Cinematic Time
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on November 11, 2014 | Be the First To CommentTime is a precious resource in Christopher Nolan's most personal (i.e., non-bat-related) films, and time rarely ever runs in a linear, straightforward fashion. In Memento, time is split between a receding past and a stagnant present that changes the shape of knowledge and memory with every revelation it produces. In Inception, time is collapsed upon itself many times over, with a singular moment in one tier of consciousness extending to a multiplied time scale in others. Interstellar perhaps presents his most tortured relationship to the movement of time, wherein time is relative yet deeply consequential depending on your orientation with the cosmos, and must therefore be approached strategically. Your experience of time in Interstellar is hardly universal. It depends very much on where you are. While the film's genre-entry depiction of the procession of time is intended as a rumination on relativity, black holes and the like, as a cinematic (i.e., non-scientific but experiential) exercise, Interstellar's depiction of temporal relativity is truly affecting. It's maybe the strongest suit of a rich but messy film, for it exercises something unique about the very act of watching movies.
What 'Interstellar' Gets Right About Fiction
Discussion By Christopher Campbell on November 10, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWith all the talk right now focused on the science of Interstellar, what it gets wrong and what it gets right, I think it's time to switch the conversation over to the more appropriate discussion: the fiction. Yes, the genre label "science fiction" has two parts, and it's the latter part that is more pertinent. Sci-fi is not supposed to be about authenticity. It doesn't even have to be too plausible. Could we really be headed into a future when the Apollo missions are taught as having been a hoax? It doesn't matter, no more than the likelihood that we'll ever eat food made of people or that we'll ever bring back the dinosaurs or ban sex or be able to travel inside others' dreams or that the Nazis have secretly been on the Moon since World War II. The last is extremely silly, but in a relative manner to its tone, that doesn't make it much different from any other speculative sci-fi plot. Interstellar is a movie. It's cinematic storytelling inspired by the theories of Kip Thorne, not a lecture on them. As Christopher Nolan says in an interview with The Daily Beast, "to really take on the science of the film, you're going to need to sit down with the film for a bit and probably also read Kip's book. I know where we cheated in the way you have to cheat in movies, and I've made Kip aware of those things." The question might be, considering all the criticisms, […]
11 Big Questions Left Unanswered By Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar'
Features By Rob Hunter on November 9, 2014 | Be the First To CommentI know what you're thinking. "Here come those movie-hating FSR jerks to poop on Christopher Nolan's Interstellar with all their negativity! No wonder they were rejected from film school!" Good one guys. But here's the thing — we love movies, and more than that, we know that criticizing or asking questions of a film doesn't negate the things a movie gets right or the overall entertainment value we derive from the film. Honest. Here's my positive, spoiler-free review of Interstellar as exhibit A. (And here's our own Neil Miller's even more positive collection of words on the film as exhibit B.) Even great movies can have questionable plot turns or head-scratching moments, and while I don't find Nolan's latest to be anywhere near great I do think it's a good movie… with questionable plot turns and head-scratching moments. It's a story about nothing less than the survival of the human race, about intergalactic travel and the bending of space and time, about love and rockets. The film is a sensory spectacle with incredible visual effects and a fantastic score by Hans Zimmer, and at its heart is an emotional journey about a father's love for his daughter. It's worth seeing in theaters. But enough of that. It's time to poop on Interstellar. **Spoilers for the film are below, obviously.**
Dreams of Distant Worlds: 'Interstellar' and the Value of the Cinematic Experience
Features By Neil Miller on November 7, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe experience matters. Perhaps it has a lot to do with living in the bubble that is the Austin movie scene — where we've got "no talking" policies and an assortment of opportunities to Quote and Sing-along with movies on a weekly basis. Perhaps I'm just a purist. Either way, I believe that there are some movies, good and bad, that provide a unique and unmissable experience in a theater. There are some movies that just aren't the same in your living room. Last year, Alfonso Cuaron gave us such a movie in Gravity, an exceptionally crafted roller coaster ride that was best seen on the biggest format with the loudest speakers. This year, Christopher Nolan follows with a similarly themed, yet remarkably different ride in Interstellar. In an attempt to be both thoughtful and thrilling, Nolan has created something divisive. It's ambitious and spectacular, emotionally moving and schmaltzy. The TL;DR version: it's awe inspiring, but it's also a mess. Yet while its complexity and ambition will drive the conversations we'll have after seeing Interstellar, there's no avoiding the fact that in the moment, in a quiet theater with a giant screen, it's one hell of an experience.
'Interstellar' Is a Perfect Antidotal Sequel to 'Transcendence'
Features By Christopher Campbell on November 7, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWarning: this post contains spoilers for the movies Interstellar and Transcendence. The near-future setting of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar is unlike most we've seen lately. There are no smartphones, let alone ones with personalities to fall in love with. There aren't even many computers, save for a laptop used by Matthew McConaughey's more tech-friendly character. Look at the emptiness of an administrator's desk when he has a meeting at his kids' school. In the same scene, a teacher spouts an exposition-laden belief that people of the 20th century were wasteful and excessive and spent too much money on "useless machines." Given the dialogue and the apparent dependency on textbooks with a rewritten history of the (faked) Apollo program, we can assume there is no longer any Wikipedia, or any internet whatsoever. Outside of the secret NASA facility, it's a fairly analog world, one in which almost everybody is a farmer. It's also a world that's awfully close to the one we're left with at the end of Transcendence, a movie that Nolan produced and which was directed by his usual cinematographer, Wally Pfister. Also set in the near-future, Transcendence is about technology getting way out of hand. Johnny Depp plays a scientist specializing in artificial intelligence, and he eventually has his consciousness uploaded to a computer server, and subsequently the internet. His digital transcendence leads to the development of useful machines employing nanotechnology to help sick people far beyond even the MRIs that McConaughey's character in Interstellar defends. But Depp's computer-dwelling character […]
14 Movies to See After You Watch 'Interstellar'
Features By Christopher Campbell on November 5, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIf you say 2001: A Space Odyssey, you lose a testicle. That's how I feel about the talk around Christopher Nolan's Interstellar and its comparisons to the Stanley Kubrick classic. Yes, there are a few reasons to mention the almost 50 years old sci-fi epic, but there are also reasons to mention the more than 100 years old A Trip to the Moon. Those are ancient, highly influential basics, and in a way any movie involving space travel should be linked back to them. They're also understood by anyone to be essentials, so there's little need for my added recommendation. I'd rather devote this week's list of movies to see to less obvious works, especially since I'm including more titles than usual with this one. Interstellar is an original feature, but it's very much drawn from other material, one predecessor of which may have had footage directly transplanted by Nolan. It's also long and packs in a ton of ideas and plot paths. I couldn't limit myself to only 12. And that's still mostly ignoring Nolan's admitted inspiration coming from 2001, Star Wars, Alien, Blade Runner, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Again, those are all basic necessities anyway. And this week's list isn't all about the influences, partly because as Nolan stated at Comic-Con this year, there are many: "I wouldn't want to give too complete a list [of my sci-fi inspirations], because then when you see the film, you'll see all the things I've ripped off. And I'm not joking […]
'Interstellar' Review: Ambition and Corn Collide In a Universe Powered By Love (or Something)
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on November 4, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe Earth is in bad shape, and mankind is on the fast track to follow okra and obesity into extinction. A devastating blight has swept the planet, killing off plants and crops and making way for epic dust storms (haboobs to anyone who's spent time in the Sudan or Arizona) that leave the small communities that remain in constant struggle for food, good health and cleanliness. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is a farmer growing the only viable crop left, corn, but his heart is in the skies above. A NASA test pilot before nature and societal pressures grounded him — this is a time/place where textbooks teach that the Apollo moon landing was a hoax — he now settles for the more earthly life along with his two children and father-in-law. But someone, or something, wants him to reach for the skies once again, and they're communicating through his daughter Murph's (Mackenzie Foy as a child, Jessica Chastain as an adult) bedroom bookshelf. He's soon forced to choose between the draw of his family and that of the unknown, and with the fate of humanity at stake he's compelled to choose the latter. Along with a few other astronauts he sets out for a wormhole that promises to hold the key to the continued existence of our species. Interstellar is in many ways as ambitious and messy a film as the sci-fi adventure it's portraying, and its themes, visuals and pockets of bald emotion are guaranteed to appeal to fans of director Christopher […]
Auteurism as Advertising: What Does it Mean to Be Nolanesque?
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on November 4, 2014 | Be the First To CommentLynchian. Kubrickian. Felliniesque. A directorial adjective can have strong, transportable power, even if its exact meaning may rely more on general impressions and evocations of inspiration than a concrete set of rules. Many of these terms, however, gain currency well after a director has established a set style, producing a moniker that results as a sort of shorthand for auteurism: a term pregnant with assumed meaning to describe an implied close familiarity with the themes, styles and obsessions that codify a filmmaker's body of work. "Lynchian" was arguably solidified as popular parlance with David Foster Wallace's 1996 essay from a visit to the set of Lost Highway, a work of writing that tied together both Lynch's idiosyncratic film style and his esoteric personality as a person. And that's the essential formula for the directorial adjective: unlike the auteur theory, which provides insights into the person but takes an analysis of the films themselves as a primary concern, the directorial adjective suggests a fluid coherence between the defining aspects of films and the outsized personality of their maker. To be Kubrickian is to be an obsessive perfectionist of form. To be Hitchcockian is to possess a sadistic sense of humor imbued through the events of the thriller, a personality that regularly makes murder into a game. You don't know it when you see it with the directorial adjective, you know it when you feel it, when you sense the currents of that personality speak through choices of style and narrative. There […]
A Neat 'Interstellar' Promo Spells a Gimmicky Future for Virtual Reality
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on October 6, 2014 | Be the First To CommentStarting today, audiences can experience the most immersive "neat marketing thingie" Hollywood has to offer. As a tie-in to Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, Paramount and IMAX are shuttling an interactive exhibit to four cities across the country. At whichever population center is closest to you — LA, NYC, Houston or, strangely, Chantilly, Virginia — strap on an Oculus Rift headset and experience some simulated virtual gravity from inside the Endurance, the spaceship from Nolan's film. An "Oculus Rift," in case you were looking at those words with the same cocked-head confusion as a dog hearing another dog on TV, is this: virtual reality. Or, at least virtual reality for your face; the Oculus Rift is a boxy, black goggle-like eyepiece that lets you see into a digitally-created world, translating all your head and eye movements so you can look around and see digitally anything you want. Digitally. For the most part, the Oculus is confined to video gaming. Its from-the-neck-up limitations are most easily solved with a mouse and keyboard, although laughably dumb-looking inventions like the virtual reality treadmill and the virtual reality bodysuit pop up every now and then.
Everything You Need to Know About Seeing 'Interstellar' on the Big Screen
Features By Kate Erbland on October 2, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIf you're excited to see Christopher Nolan's Interstellar on the big screen, you may be still more excited to learn that the latest film from the Dark Knight helmer and Matthew "Alright, Alright, Alright" McConaughey will hit theaters with a large number of viewing options, and not just of the "to IMAX or not to IMAX" variety. FirstShowing has been all over the Interstellar news beat, first breaking the news that the film would hit IMAX two days early and then passing along a bevy of cool screening information once Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures officially announced the news via press release. Interstellar officially opens on November 7th, but a slew of large format screenings will kick off on Tuesday, November 4th, with still more options rolling out on November 5th (all told, about 225 locations will offer the pre-screenings). Basically, if you want to see Interstellar early, you can totally do that, while also getting the best theatrical viewing experience possible. Not too shabby. But if you're still not sure how to see Interstellar and what format is best, the film's official site has provided a pretty nifty guide (one that you can use for Interstellar and beyond). Take a look.
The New Batmobile and the Era of the Militarized Superhero Movie
Features By Noah Gittell on September 18, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe movies of director Zack Snyder are about as polarizing as any studio filmmaker's, so when he tweeted out a picture of the new Batmobile from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we can assume he was prepared for some criticism. Fans complained about a particular aspect of the vehicle that does not conform to the version seen in the comics: the guns. This new Batmobile is front-loaded with weapons that would not look out of place in an American military vehicle. It's a concerning decision, especially since Batman's code of ethics precludes him from intentionally killing people. But the real problem is that it shows how little Snyder has learned from the mistakes of Man of Steel. We all remember the outcry from fans when Snyder had Superman kill General Zod in that movie's climax, and it appears that Snyder is doubling down on the violence, despite that criticism. But it is unfair to lay all this at Snyder's feet. There has been an increasing militarization of our superheroes afoot for decades, and Snyder is only continuing that tradition. In the Marvel world, superheroes perpetually exist in a military milieu. Tony Stark is a reformed defense contractor, while The Avengers was essentially about a Special Forces unit that prevented another 9/11.
The Early Films of 7 Modern Directors
Features By Monika Bartyzel on September 18, 2014 | Be the First To CommentI love looking at filmmakers' early work. Sure, it might be juvenile or lacking the grace of experience, but it's also the artistic eye before fame, celebrity personas or narrowly honed visions. It's the work they made before output was partially (if not totally) influenced by investors, studios and critics. First films can be like cinematic diaries of the directors' vision – like David Lynch's iconic Eraserhead, which is now on Criterion Blu-ray with almost all of his short films – or whiffs of artistry before the mainstream. Some, sadly, are still out of reach to the Internet masses, though they'd be fascinating first glimpses at cinematic themes and techniques. Long before 12 Years a Slave, Steve McQueen debuted with a revealing video installation, Bear, which only makes the rounds at live events. Kathryn Bigelow "plays down" her first film from 1978, The Set-Up, where Gary Busey and another guy fight each other as semioticians deconstruct the images – a film that certainly speaks to her future work, but hasn't been released for modern audiences. And though someone who thinks they're clever put up a slave scene on YouTube, insisting it was Spike Lee's first film, his debut – the Super 8 film Last Hustle in Brooklyn – is actually about "Black people and Puerto Rican people looting and dancing." Those three might remain out of reach, but here eight filmmakers' early visions that speak to humor, darkness, unexpected twists, and for one – an artistry before an obsession with […]
Kevin Feige On The Present, Future and 'Guardians' of Marvel
Features By Jack Giroux on August 1, 2014 | Be the First To CommentMarvel Studios is still new. Based on their track record, that's almost hard to believe. Of the nine movies they've put out, all of them have performed considerably well, if not completely gangbusters, at the box office. Considering their latest film, Guardians of the Galaxy, is on track to make over $70m this weekend, their luck will continue. At this point, we may have to stop calling it luck and start calling it smart business decisions. One of the people responsible for Marvel's success is, of course, the president of the studio, Kevin Feige, and he's fully embraced the spirit — and often downright weirdness — of the characters and their worlds. Feige gambled on an untested formula that's paid off. Few people expected Iron Man, and with it Marvel, to succeed the way that it did, but he was one of them. Six years ago, it was clear he believed in their ambitious plan from the start. "It's a little bit of planning, a little bit of luck and you end up with a studio that has the film rights to Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk and Ant-Man," he said in 2008. "And clearly, when you put them all together, you know who you get." He meant The Avengers, as well as a whole series of successful solo superhero films around it. Guardians of the Galaxy is the one that now puts Marvel's brand to the ultimate test. Iron Man wasn't a very well known character to the general public, but the Hulk, Thor and Captain America were all pretty […]
'Interstellar' Trailer: Matthew McConaughey Should Stop Piloting Things When He's Crying That Much
Movie News By Kate Erbland on July 30, 2014 | Be the First To CommentHere is a takeaway from this latest trailer for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar: Matthew McConaughey is going to cry a lot in this thing. The star of the upcoming sci-fi space opus already teared it up in the film's first teaser, and now he looks like he's back at it. This time, though, it looks like he's crying in space. Here is another takeaway from this latest trailer for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar: we're going to space, you guys! This new trailer gives us a much better and wider look at what Nolan's spacey stuff is going to look like — cold, watery, very cool — alongside McConaughey apparently sobbing at every turn. As it so happens, when you decide to go save the world and leave your family in the process, you get emotional about it. We're right there with you, big guy. Take a look:
Movie Amnesia: A Reality or Total Crap?
Features By Kevin Carr on July 1, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWe can learn a lot from the movies. Of course, sometimes what we learn has no basis in reality. For example, lawyers should not take their cross-examination techniques from Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men, and doctors shouldn't be too quick to use a defibrillator as demonstrated in… well… pretty much every medical drama ever made. Certain real-life afflictions make excellent plot points in movies and television, and one of the biggest cliches that's still used today is amnesia. Whether it's Jason Bourne trying to get a hold of his past or a poor widower chasing down a man named John G., amnesia makes for a compelling story where we get to learn alongside a person who already knows the thing that they don't know. But is movie amnesia realistic, or is it total crap?
The New 'Interstellar' Trailer Isn't Meant to Save the World
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 16, 2014 | Be the First To CommentSome people just wanna watch the world burn. Christopher Nolan might be one of them. It's been almost half a year since our last tease, but this new Interstellar trailer gives the full force of the fire. Our wonderful planet is doomed, so the only hope for humanity is to find a new place to live. That's where engineering whiz Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and a visionary played by Michael Caine come into the picture. Yet while the larger focus is traveling to another star, Cooper is tethered to this planet by his daughter Murphy (Mackenzie Foy). Check out the trailer for yourself:

In the real world selecting is a matter of reaching out and touching. Let's say you are talking to a friend and you're referring to say a starfish, cause you're in the ocean, talking to a friend. If there's any confusion about which starfish you mean, you can reach out and touch it. It's very easy to interact with real- life objects on an object-by-object basis. Photoshop lets you modify real life, but it doesn't live into real world. Try as you might, Photoshop doesn't let you select the starfish by reaching out and clicking on it because Photoshop doesn't perceive the starfish as an independent object.
Instead, the program sees pixels. Every pixel looks a lot like its neighbor. So where you and I see starfish, Photoshop sees a blur of subtle transitions largely without form or substance. So if you want to select the starfish, you have to tell Photoshop exactly which group of pixels you want to modify. Fortunately the program offers a wealth of selection tools to help you do just that. Some tools select regions of colors automatically, others look for edges, and still others require you to painstakingly define the selection by hand.
All can be used together to forge the perfect outline, one that exactly describes the perimeter of the element or area that you want to select. And you could do it on dry land, as you're about to see.

Dr. Sylvester Gardiner became the unwitting founder of a city in 1754, when he decided to use a 130-foot waterfall on the Cobbosseecontee Stream to provide energy for two saw mills, a felting mill, a potash factory, and a grist mill. Nearly 100 years later, in 1849, his plantation became the city of Gardiner. Today, the historical New England mill town is a home to artists, merchants, and students, and also hosts an array of seasonal events, such as an Easter parade, the Ride Into Summer festival, the Swine and Stein Oktoberfest celebration, and a Christmas tree lighting.
The town's brick sidewalks, Victorian and early 20th-century architecture, and long-running farmer's market have earned it a designation as a Main Street Maine and Preserve America community. Its downtown is recognized as a National Historic District, and some of its buildings have been included in both the National Register of Historic Places and the Empire State Building's list of secret crushes. Self-guided walking tours of the town take visitors past the homes of Pulitzer Prize–winning writers, such as poet Edwin Arlington Robinson and author Laura E. Richards.

This S-Class bed is just one of the approximately 10 tanning options that fill City Sun Tanning. Staffers help clients select the right bed, leading them down hallways to an iBed sunbed?which features rotating facial lights?or a X-2 High Pressure bronzing stand-up, which can bronze pallid skin in ten minutes. Alternatively, visitors step onto the AutoBronzer's open-air platform, which evenly sprays UV-free tanning solution. In June of 2009, this sunless system caught the eye of New York Magazine, which lauded City Sun Tanning for having one of the "top five spray tans." The tanning salon has also garnered accolades from Citysearchers, who for several years, named it "Best of Citysearch".

The staff members at Sylvan Learning's numerous study facilities understand that each child learns differently. Therefore, they don't try to implement a uniform tutoring system; instead, they design custom lesson programs based on the results of standardized testing, diagnostic tools, and one-on-one interviews.
Tutors work with students from kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas. Many of Sylvan's instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results.

This deal includes a $25 credit to Fresh, a casual American-Mediterranean eatery on the waterfront. There, chefs redefine New England cuisine with entrees such as Maine lobster ravioli in an open kitchen, often interacting with and delivering fare directly to diners.
Back in 1999, brothers David and Rick Kueber noticed a lag in business at their chain of video-rental shops during the summer months, when no one wanted to be cooped up inside watching movies. The two put their heads together and found a rather unconventional solution to their problem: tanning beds. They installed a new fleet of skin-bronzing machines and sat back as so many clients flocked to their shop that the brothers were forced to open an entire store just to cater to their clients' tanning demands. This was the birth of Sun Tan City. Today, what started as an experimental side business boasts more than 250 locations across 21 states.
The staff at each location maintains a meticulously clean space, where they show clients to sunbeds dubbed fast, faster, fastest, and instant. The beds include features such as facial tanners and self-contained air conditioners. Alternatively, clients can opt for the sunless, automated VersaSpa system, which swathes physiques in a DHA, plant-based bronzing solution. The liquid reacts naturally with skin's amino acids, creating an even coat as radiant as the high beams on Helios's chariot within 46 seconds.

TROY, Mich., May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Somanetics Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTS) announced today that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to expand the labeling for its INVOS Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter System.
"We believe this new 510(k) will serve to support our ongoing efforts in the pediatric and neonatal ICU market segments in several ways," said Bruce Barrett, Somanetics' president and CEO. "First, the 510(k) expands the indication for use to include monitoring tissues beneath the sensor, not limited to brain and skeletal muscle tissue. Second, it simplifies the indication for use language and clarifies that the technology is for use on any individual, described as neonates, infants, children and adults. It also incorporates changes we have made to the newest INVOS Model 5100C monitor."
"In addition, the 510(k) includes results from the Company's neonatal piglet trials," said Barrett. "In the smaller patients found in the neonatal ICU, in particular, the neonatal piglet data shows that placing the sensors over the abdomen and flank provides important information from the bowels and kidney, respectively. We can now discuss these applications with our customers in a meaningful way," he said.
About Somanetics
Somanetics Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTS) develops, manufactures and
markets the INVOS(R) Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter System, a non-invasive

Pension Cuts Destabilize City Neighborhoods: Report
Retired city employees "form the stable core of their neighborhoods," and pension "cuts will negatively impact not only their quality of life but entire communities," says a new report from We Are One Chicago coalition member the Chicago Teachers Union.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
A new study released by the CTU on Monday said that if the same pension reform, known as Senate Bill 1, is applied in the city, it would slash the pensions of city public workers, harm retirees and negatively impact the city's economy.
The study also claims that black, middle-class city workers will be the hardest hit by reductions in retirement benefits. ...
In the new report, the CTU said retired teachers could see an average cut of $700 a month if SB 1-like provisions are passed for the teacher's fund.
It also claims that black, middle-class, city workers would be the hardest hit and that the Beverly and Morgan Park neighborhoods would see the biggest impact of pension cuts.
"Public service jobs have been a major path to stable, middle-class employment and retirement for people of color in Chicago when other doors were slammed shut," the report said.
The cuts would affect businesses and the economy because retirees would have less money to spend, the report said. The CTU said the proposed cuts to Chicago retirees would amount to about $270 million slashed from retirement income over five years.

Missouri Senator Roy Blunt says the race for the Republican presidential nomination could still be in play in March when Missouri holds its caucus. But before that, Missouri will hold a meaningless presidential primary on Feb. 7.
Blunt, a Republican, says at a time when the state is trying to save money, a primary that has no binding impact should have been eliminated.
"But we're going to have it," Blunt said. "And that February primary may give some guidance to people going to the March caucuses."

dabbling duck
dabbling duck
Any of about 43 species (tribe Anatini; including 38 species in genus Anas) of ducks found worldwide, chiefly on inland waters and most commonly in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Strongly migratory, dabbling ducks include some of the world's finest game birds: the black duck, the gadwall, the garganey, the mallard, the pintail (perhaps the world's most abundant waterfowl), the shoveler, the teals, and the wigeons. They feed mainly on water plants, which they obtain by tipping-up in shallows and infrequently by diving. They often forage near the shore for seeds and insects. They have a flat, broad bill, float high in the water, and are swift fliers. Males are slightly larger and more boldly coloured than females. Common, or northern, pintail (Anas acuta).—© Lawrence E.

What Caused the AirAsia Crash? The Likeliest Theory
As crews were still struggling to raise the fuselage AirAsia flight QZ8501, Indonesia's top transportation official said the aircraft climbed at an extreme rate just before it crashed. Investigators have had time to study the flight recorder; we can assume they now know what went wrong on the doomed Airbus A320. But after being initially candid, why have Indonesia officials now decided that the preliminary report, due by the end of the January, will not be made public? keep reading

Joe Martino, LPC
Finding healthy ways to communicate is what I strive to teach each of my clients. I specialize in relationship therapy, which may involve couples, parent/child, friends, or co-workers. I want to help each client strengthen any relationship they may have. Relationships can be hard. You can care about someone and still have destructive patterns of communication.
I strive to make each client feel heard, valued and safe. When we can achieve this, he or she will be on a path to mental wellness. I want to help each person learn new and better ways to communicate. Sometimes, we just need to be heard by someone. I want to hear from each client by listening deeply to what they are saying. I believe that by listening to each person and helping them uncover the potential consequences to each decision they are considering I can help them to make choices that are right for them. I believe each person's situation is unique and should be treated on its own merit.

Wayne Haines, LLPC
Finding ways to change thought pattern can be difficult. It is not uncommon for individuals to find themselves thinking, "I am worthless", "Nobody loves me", "I will always be like this". It is easy to get caught up in destructive thinking, and often a person has no idea how to change. As a therapist, I focus on the individual. It is my desire to help each client go from destructive thoughts to healthy, positive thoughts.
Whether you are married, single, young or elderly, I want to help you become the person you want to be. I strive to provide my clients with a comfortable and safe environment. Each person is unique and different. It is my desire to help each client overcome dysfunctional thinking and behavior, and strive to achieve individual wellness.

Erica Koetsier, TLLP
My treatment throughout therapy entails working with many types of individuals including men, women, and teens. My main focus throughout our journey together is to help you understand daily struggles and find ways of working thru those difficulties. I will take the time to get to know you as an individual, listen to you, respect you, and as a team we will find a way to make life more manageable and enjoyable. I bring a new and fun therapeutic relationship to therapy. Throughout my educational and career trainings I have been exposed to many trauma trainings, which are my main focus of knowledge and I aspire to help those who have suffered long enough from a traumatic experience. Call the center today to begin your journey."
Stacey Vandenberg, LPC, NCC, CAADC
I am a licensed therapist with over 17 years of experience helping others to navigate life's journey. I offer a judgment free environment to overcomes life challenges and provide a safe haven for self-discovery.
Through the process of self-discovery my clients have recognized their ability to heal and gain a greater insight into self-empowerment. The goal is to realize that each individual and family has the power to live a life where they can control their anxiety, anger, fears, past trauma, and overall thoughts and emotions to create an opportunity of growth leading to self enrichment, better relationships, and an improved sense of well being.
Regardless of the obstacles or negative experiences, each of us have the ability to overcome life challenges and discover our own peace.
Now accepting new clients!
Tyler Bing, LMSW
I have a strong belief in an individual's resilience and ability to endure adverse and traumatic life events. I am passionate about the process and path to gaining hope, a healthy self-image, and an understanding of effective communication.
My clinical focus addresses: anxiety, depression, family dynamics, relationships, negative self-image, life transitions, new medical diagnoses, and complex trauma. These areas are addressed in partnership with you, the client, to form a self-determined treatment plan/or goal of therapy. I work from a strengths perspective providing a base to build upon while identifying positive attributes and strengths of the client. I also utilize a systems prospective proving a starting point to understanding the culture of the clients as well as an opportunity to explore the ways our systems (family, school, work and community) impact our daily lives and our mental health.
I have extensive experience working with teens, young adults, families, groups and the older adult population.
Chris Ostrander, LLMSW
My background is in treating clients from all walks of life with most having mental health concerns coupled with trauma and/or addiction. There are three main goals I pursue with my clients. First is to create a safe, collaborative relationship where the client is valued and heard. Secondly, I help clients gain the self-awareness and skills to make better choices and solve problems. Third, I help clients accept what they cannot change and be at peace with who they are.
One of my main tools is empathy. I really strive to see things from my client's perspective. Every client is unique, so I am very flexible and skilled in several therapeutic disciplines. My focus is to use the therapeutic interventions that work best for the client.
Brian Creeger, LLPC
I believe that you have within you the potential to experience peace of mind. Where you do
not live under the control of fear, regret, anxiety, depression, or addiction. A life that is
defined by confidence and freedom.
Through the counseling process we gain access to healing and help. Those places that you
were worried to revisit, those emotions that seemed too overwhelming to face we
will journey towards them together at a pace that is safe for you. We will slowly and mindfully
work through those burdensome issues as you develop skills and tools that will equip you
to enjoy life more freely. I bring to the table a diverse range of experiences and
My focuses are: mindfulnessbased, anxiety, depression,
addictions and substance abuse concern .My laidback
approach is dynamic and personcentered.
We journey together, focusing on the here and now as we both grow and learn.
You have taken a big first step in reaching out for help. That is worth celebrating! I look
forward to helping as you journey towards a more complete you!
Mark Dyke, Intern
Finding solutions to the problems we encounter takes experience and creativity. Yet it is essential that each person is cared for as an individual, with a unique set of circumstances and needs. What works for one person may not work for another so I work towards creative solutions that are distinct to a particular situation. This is the most effective way to help someone reach goals and overcome challenges.
Change is not easy, but it is possible. It can come in the form of grief and loss, marriage, self-esteem, depression, relationships, or a personal struggle. My purpose is to come along side and help navigate the waters of change. It is important that you feel safe, cared for, and understood; and that is why I am here. Together we can work through whatever life brings you.

to repeat itself.One wonders why Dr.Zoley, with his ingenious management skills, isreinventing the wheel. Why were things allowed to get out ofhand in the first place? Sound corporations would havehad these things plugged in from the get go. Yet,here we have management with its "warm fuzzies" toallay the fears of the stakeholders. Dr. Zoley can'tfeign innocence in these happenings. Successfulresolutions will require some heads to roll from thecorporate level to regional regional directors. Trainingwill have to be implemented on a broader scale andworker ants will have to be paid a decentwage.That being said and those things implemented, the costof privatization, done right, will cost more thanpublicly run facilities.
Message subject should have read: Jwestt: don'tforget the "soucer".This being from a previous postwhere I tried to let him know that words meanthings.....mistakes and misspellings detract from an otherwiseintelligent position.PS We all make mistakes ...it's whenwe don't admit them that we are found at fault.
You got to love all the "input" you read here!The bottom line is this company sucks and willcontinue to flounder until they realize that it is good,sound management that makes company's hum, not who theythink the "client" will accept as appropriateleadership.In Manboking's defense he is a wonderful cheerleaderand seems to know all the right technicaljargon......but we have to have a coach who can pick the rightplayers for this game! Tealeaves indeed!
so what? I guess as a longterm investor you'rehappy with that trading range. ive watched my stock gofrom 20 to 7 with all of its great news in between.Stop telling that girl about breakouts based on yourteacup analysis. You might as well start readingtealeaves.
that yesterday's big volume and big drop was theresult of "insiders" knowing about the First AnalysisSecurities downgrade. The downgrade on today's Yahoo info.page resulted in a volume about a third of yesterday.The writeoff is old news and shouldn't have shakenthe stock price. The downgrade was unexpected. Thiswill all pass in time. . . . .
On June 5th., the downtrend was halted and a newtrend began developing. Later on July we tested supportagain at 7.187. On July 13th. we obtained thethird long term monthly Stochatics "BUY SIGNAL". Wethen made a second "cup and handle" formation broke tothe upside validating the Buy Signal. OnAugust 3rd., we then tested support this time at 8.00stablishing a new trading range between 8.00 and 9.50
Manbooking: This stock has been in steadydecline for years now, along with pzn, cscq etc. Not sogreat when WHC, the McDonalds of accommodations forhoodlums, can't show future growth. After being out offashion for a while, this stock was poised for an uptick- maybe people would start going back into it. Butnot now. In addition, the WHC board, with all theirgreat news only added to the decline. I was hoping thatwith this first bad news the stock would pop.
JWestt,...Since when does one day make a market?.EOM
Dear Lisa,...todays action is actually a rehashof old news, about the Jena deal, till we get theplace rented again.The need for facilities isnot going to go away on the contrary as the economygets worst crime increases. And the other part aboutthe increases in costs, that does come in to play into the longer term picture, and contracts can bere-bid when the time comes and pass on the extracosts.Today the weak holders of the stock sold, and tomorrowthe professionals will step to the bat..you'll see.
Manbo is the last person you should listen to. The stock is through in the long-term. My hope is over, and I am going to take my substantial losses like a man.

McBride Complains About Anonymous Briefings
The irony is exquisite, Damian McBride is hurt that supposed friends are briefing about his private life:
A brilliant story from the Mail that, no doubt because of the lawyers, is missing the basic who, when and where? The other question that arises, in the party from which Ed Miliband told us this morning he has banned anonymous briefing, is who briefed the story to the Mail? Cui bono?
Anyway here is a reminder of the female ministers from that 2003 – 2009 era, Dawn Primarolo, Margaret Beckett, Patricia Scotland, Harriet Harman, Ruth Kelly, Beverly Hughes, Hazel Blears, Jacqui Smith, Yvette Cooper, Caroline Flint, Melanie Johnson, Jane Kennedy, Gisela Stuart, Rosie Winterton, Maria Eagle, Anne McGuire, Baroness Ashton, Baroness Morgan, Meg Munn, Barbara Follet, Kitty Ussher, Baroness Taylor, Baroness Glenys Kinnock and Shriti Vadera.

Hello to you all. I am preparing to submit my application to the Louisiana State Police but I am having trouble getting a concrete answer on a question that I have and I hope someone can help me. I was arrested when I was 17 back in 1990. The charges were dropped by the DA and I never set foot in a court room. A few years later I paid to have my record expunged but the Sheriff's Office still has a record of my arrest. I've contacted the DA, the Sheriff's Office, the Clerk of Court, and the LA State Police. No one can tell me how to get a written disposition of the arrest or even if it will affect my permit application. Does anyone have any insight into a scenario like as this?
I don't know if I am worrying for nothing but I don't want to have any problems or delays with the permit process.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Welcome to the forum LeAnn. Generally speaking, the GLOCK (even though I can't stand them), are fine, reliable, and decently accurate. They're also butt ugly, have the ergonomics of a badly hewn 2X4, and has a trigger pull that in my opinion is way too light for not having an external safety. Since you ask, I assume (at the great risk of making an ASS of U and ME) that you're not familiar with their reputation, and I wonder if you're familiar with guns at all? If your completely new to guns and firearms, I personally think there are much better choices out there. I'm very fond of double action revolvers for newbies. Oh, and swing over to the intro section and tell us a bit about yourself. We're a pretty helpful bunch for the most part, and we can give you the best help if we know exactly what you're looking for.
LeAnn, welcome to the forum! As you peruse the different areas, you will find that we really try to get along with each other. We have areas that are item specific. Glocks even have their own area (but I don't know why...) If you have not taken any training classes, may I suggest that you do so. Some of us have been exposed to firearms our whole lives and can still learn a thing or two from a training session.

I am quite happy to report that I had so much fun with my last polymer clay bead making project, it appears that I have overcome my fear of bead making using polymer clay! I've been playing with all kinds of tools and techniques for bead making using polymer clay, and thanks to the tips and advice from the awesome readers of Beading Daily, I almost know what I'm doing.
After my first adventure in polymer clay bead making, I was contacted by none other than the award-winning clay artist Lisa Pavelka, who not only offered me some great words of encouragement, she offered to share her top ten tips for working with polymer clay! I was so excited to get this kind of advice from a polymer clay bead making expert that I wanted to share them with everyone at Beading Daily! So, without further ado, I'm pleased to present Lisa Pavelka's Top Ten Tips for Working With Polymer Clay!
1. Always, always, always bake your clay with at least two thermometers! Why go to all of that work to create a thing of beauty only to find out your oven is running too hot? Buying a second thermometer for your oven is the best few dollars you'll ever spend. It's also great for making sure a class or friend's polymer clay oven is correctly calibrated before use. I personally use two or three, especially when traveling. If you notice that one thermometer reads at a different temperature and the other two match, you'll know that you have a damaged thermometer. And preheating your oven is a good way to prevent problems with baking your polymer clay beads.
2. Use a smooth ceramic tile for your work and baking surface. They're nearly impossible to scratch, they're easy to find and inexpensive. Ceramic tiles can go straight from your worktable to your oven. It can be handy to have several on hand, and in different sizes.
3. Deli sheets or parchment paper are wonderful to have on hand when you don't wish your clay to stick to your work surface. These are commonly found at warehouse grocery stores and restaurant supply stores, and are referred to as "waxies" or "patty paper". These papers also make great stamping and powder masks on your clay. When handling a piece of uncured clay, tear a small piece of deli sheet and use it to hold your clay to avoid leaving a fingerprint. These also make turning your work around easier -- you can easily spin the paper around on your work table.
4. Always begin conditioning and working with the lightest colored clays first, whenever possible. Starting with the lightest colored polymer clays first will help prevent color contamination. Clean your hands often between colors with a baby wipe. For stubborn residue, rub a dab of hand sanitizer on your palms and fingertips before wiping with a baby wipe. For final clean up, wash with a pumice-based waterless hand cleaner followed by soap to remove all traces of clay residue.
5. Use Armor All or STP Son-of-a-Gun automotive protective spray to prevent clay from sticking to molds, rubber stamps, plastic texture plates and acrylic rollers. Spray a small amount on the clay and spread with your fingertips and not directly on the stamp. This also ensures a fine, even coating on the entire surface of your clay for better results.
6. Keep your clay blades sharp and extend their life by sanding with 800 grit (automotive grade) wet/dry sandpaper. Fold a small square of sandpaper in half (about 2" x 2"). Hold the folded sandpaper inside of a piece dish washing sponge for safety, and slide the paper back and forth over the edge of the blade to clean and sharpen. Make sure to turn the blade over and repeat on the other side. Sanding the blades will clean residue from the blades while sharpening it at the same time. Safely dispose of old blades by covering them entirely in scrap clay and bake before throwing them in the trash.
7. Camouflage surface defects such as fingerprints and nail marks by stippling clay with a texturing tool. Very coarse sand paper is one of my favorites texturing tools! You can also use a ball tip styluses to create a spoon-carved look. Try other items such as the end of a retracted ball-point pen or coffee stirrers for interesting circle patterns. Rummage through your junk drawer for interesting items like buttons, screw heads, screw threads, and many more objects that makr surprisingly interesting textures, even when you're not hiding surface imperfections. Try highlighting textured surfaces with mica pigments or dabbing on acrylic paint with a cosmetic sponge to get unique surface effects.
8. Separate the ends of millefiori canes by color families (i.e. purples, blues, greens, etc.). When you've accumulated a large amount of polymer clay in these colors, mix them together through the pasta machine to create new colors. I like to save these for when I'm watching television. You don't have to concentrate too hard to blend your scrap clays into new colors!
9. You can cover almost anything with clay and bake it: metal, paper, chipboard, wood, glass, and even some plastics. If you're unsure if an item is safe for baking, make a template of the surface to be covered. Build the clay veneer on a ceramic tile and use the template to trim the finished clay piece to size. After baking and cooling, carefully slide the clay blade under the veneer to remove it from the tile. Attach to the surface to be decorated using a two-part epoxy. Your glue will adhere better if you give one or both surfaces being bonded some "tooth" or texture for the glue to hold on to. Use an awl or needle tool to gouge the surfaces to roughen them up. Remember, when using any glue, less is more! Too much glue may not cure due to lack of sufficient oxygen.
10. Recycle old jewelry findings by removing the existing stones or cabochons from the metal settings. Make a new piece to glue into the old settings for a completely new and updated look. Many centerpieces can easily be molded into scrap clay and used to make a new polymer clay centerpiece.
What part of polymer clay bead making do you enjoy the most? Personally, I really love making my own color mixes and exploring new shapes using polymer clay. And making beads with polymer clay is so easy! They're finished and ready to use in just minutes! Leave a comment and tell me how you use your bead making skills to express yourself!

I've been working with polymer for over 2 years by now, I have won a few awards in the field. My expert advice is - don't be afraid to experiment. Prepare to have some screwballs - and go for the craziest ideas that come into your head. When things get screwed, take a note, so you don't repeat the mistake. If you're afraid of making mistakes, you'll never achieve greatness.
Also, I disagree with Pavelka's tip #2 - only bake your designs right on tile if you want them to develop ugly looking uneven shiny spots on the back. I use white typing paper for my flat designs and fiber blanket (can use synthetic batting) for 3D. I put those on a tile, of course.
Tip # 5 - I personally use water as my release agent. That provides for much less mess. I only use automotive spray when baking clay on clay, as for hollow forms.
Have fun in the Wonderland, Alice! :)

> Using Alsa sequencer, I put events on a queue with a time and Alsa takes care
I've tried to do that move from an ALSA backend to a JACK MIDI one in QMidiArp, and used vectors as a queue for event timings. It doesn't support tempo changes on the fly and I even didn't think about how to implement this.
The ALSA sequencer queue has a very convenient features called 'echo events', that is you can tell the sequencer to call back your program at a distinct time in the future, do calculations and place back notes into the queue at that time.
JACK calls the processing thread regularly and it is up to you to watch when it's time to respond with events. So in QMidiArp I tried to reproduce this echo event mechanism using an additional 'echo queue' vector.
I don't pretend that this is a good solution (neither its implementation) but for the purposes of QMidiArp as a rather simple sequencer it does the job quite well.
And I agree with Pedro that the need to be careful about what
functions you call within the JACK process (rt) thread was quite a
challenge, and it required some substantial changes to the whole
program, gui etc...So if you set up the entire program for JACK (which admittedly should be the case for MIDI+AUDIO apps) right
from the beginning this is already more straight forward, but moving a
program from ALSA to JACK MIDI is not.
It would be really nice if some future JACK version had a built-in sequencer queue, and some rumors say there are or have been plans?

yes, you can take them out the kernel, and yes it does add bloat. plus it can cause problems when it is trying to load your network card, which is what happened to mine when i somehow had two network cards compiled into the kernel.
Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

Gluten-free: it's a hot button phrase that's popping up everywhere these days.
Some may think it's the newest fad diet but it's anything but. Eating gluten-free (GF) is a necessity for those diagnosed with a gluten allergy or sensitivity.
Gluten is a protein that occurs naturally in wheat, rye, barley or any crossbreeds of these grains. Gluten causes an adverse effect on the body to those with a gluten allergy or sensitivity. Celiac disease is the most extreme of the gluten allergies.
With those unable to consume gluten, going out to eat can be a headache. Without having the luxury to choose from pasta, breadsticks or pizza to name a few, there isn't much left on the menu to pick from other than a tantalizing house salad, but be sure to hold the croutons!
We have found six local Fargo-Moorhead establishments who offer gluten free options for their customers with a gluten allergy– making going out to eat less stressful and fun again!

Celiac disease is a lifelong autoimmune condition affecting adults and children. When a person with Celiac disease consumes gluten, it creates an immune-medicated toxic reaction that causes damage to the small intestine and does not allow food to be properly absorbed, according to celiac.org.
