Mjolnir obeys Thor's commands as though it were alive, and if Thor's will is strong enough, the hammer can pass through nearly any barrier to reach him should he so desire. Using this command over Mjolnir's flight path, Thor is able to use the hammer to fly, achieving escape velocities. Mjolnir can also transform Thor into his civilian guises. When Thor is a civilian, the hammer most often becomes an old wooden cane. While employing a mortal guise, Thor will transform back into his mortal form should he be separated from Mjolnir for more than 60 seconds.By spinning Mjolnir in a circle, Thor can open portals to other dimensions. Formerly, it also allowed him to travel in time, but Immortus removed this power. Enchantments surrounding Mjolnir prevent it from being wielded by anyone except those who have been found worthy. Thus far, this includes Thor, Odin, Tiwaz, Red Norvell, Beta Ray Bill, and Captain America. To anyone else, Mjolnir cannot be lifted from the ground nor wrested from Thor's grip.
Ages ago, Odin, lord of the gods of Asgard, desired a child of both Asgard and Midgard (Earth), and therefore sought out and wooed Gaea, the eldest goddess of the Earth. Gaea gave birth to Thor in a small cave in Norway, and Odin took him to be raised in Asgard by his wife, Frigga.
The young Thor grew up alongside his step-brother Loki, who was always jealous of Thor, the favored son. Thor excelled in power and popularity, and on his eighth birthday, Odin had the hammer Mjolnir created, enchanting it with powerful magic. He decreed that Mjolnir would be presented to Thor when he had been proven a worthy warrior, and Thor spent the next several years training and performing heroic deeds. Indeed, eight years later, Odin gave the hammer to Thor, declaring him to be the greatest warrior in Asgard.
Thor traveled to Earth for the first time in the Ninth Century A.D., in response to his worship among the Vikings. Thor reveled in his worship, leading many in battle and extolling the way of the warrior. Years later, a set of Vikings killed innocent inhabitants of a Christian monastery in Thor's name. In shock and disillusion, Thor cut himself off from his worshippers and returned to Asgard. The Asgardian religion would never be as fervent, eventually dying out completely over the centuries.
Although Thor continued to perform many acts of battle and adventure, he unfortunately grew headstrong, proud, and selfish. It pained the heart of Odin. One day, Thor chased a monster into the land of the Frost Giants, a breech of protocol that nearly sparked a war in all of Asgard. Odin had to teach Thor a lesson. He created a mortal body for him, one with a lame leg, and sent Thor, stripped of his powers and memories, to Earth. Thor arrived on the campus of New York State College of Medicine as Donald Blake. Blake proved to be the humble and patient man Odin had hoped for. He eventually graduated with top honors, gained a reputation as a caring family doctor and a brilliant surgeon, and opened a private practice in New York City. His nurse, Jane Foster, was equally caring and competent, and the two began to fall in love.
This idyllic life was not to last. The alien Kronans were coming to invade. When taking a vacation in Norway, Blake stumbled onto the Kronan scouts' spaceship and fled into a cave. (It was, unknown to him, the same cave in which Gaea had given birth to Thor.) In a secret chamber, Blake discovered a plain walking cane. Taking it with him, he tried to escape, only to find his way blocked. Frustrated and scared, he struck the boulder with the cane, transforming it into Mjolnir and himself into Thor. He fought the alien scouts, who retreated from Earth and called off their invasion. By tapping the ground with Mjolnir, he transformed back into Don Blake, holding a simple wooden cane.
Blake returned to New York, using his secret identity of Thor to fight crime, defend Earth, and contend with Loki, who, after learning of Thor's return, felt all the old jealousy and hatred, plaguing Thor with many tricks and outright confrontation. One such trick led Thor and other heroes to fight the Hulk, after which the heroes bested Loki and decided to form the Avengers.
The love between Thor and Foster continued for many years, made more difficult by Odin's displeasure in the relationship between god and mortal. He forbade Blake from revealing his identity to her, creating a strange love triangle between Foster and the personas of Thor and Blake.
Even though Donald Blake knew he was the legendary Thor, he still had no memory of his former life. Over time, his memories slowly returned, until one day, Odin finally revealed himself and restored Thor's complete memory. Odin also revealed that it was he who had discovered the Kronan invasion force and implanted a suggestion in Blake's mind so that he would arrive in Norway and battle the aliens as Thor. He also reintroduced Thor to his childhood friend, the woman warrior Sif, and they renewed their friendship, further complicating Thor/Blake's love life.
The love affair between Thor and Jane Foster eventually ended when Foster fell in love with a mortal man, Kevin Kincaid. Their engagement was cut short when Foster lay dying. Sif allowed herself to merge with Foster, saving the woman's life. The two were later separated when Foster was sent to a limbo-realm accessed by the Runestaff of the Possessor. Thor, Sif, and Kevin Kincaid were later able to rescue Foster, and the two mortals were then married.
Although Thor maintained his Blake persona for many years, he permanently gave it up shortly after meeting Beta Ray Bill. Bill had twice proven himself worthy of the hammer of Thor, after picking it up during a battle with Thor and, later, against the forces of Surtur. Odin brought Beta Ray Bill to Asgard, giving him a similar weapon in Stormbreaker. The enchantment that transformed Thor into Blake was transferred to Stormbreaker, and Thor abandoned his Blake identity, residing in Asgard and commuting to Earth when needed. Later, in hopes of creating another identity so as to more easily remain on Earth, Thor sought help from Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.. The organization helped Thor create an identity as Sigurd Jarlson, a construction worker. In this identity, Thor simply pulled back his hair, wore glasses, and dressed like a normal human.
When Surtur joined forces with the Dark Elves, Thor, Loki, and Odin protected Asgard by mingling their essences and thereby increasing their powers. But it was Odin that gave the greatest sacrifice, grappling with Surtur and throwing themselves into a huge chasm. Asgard was left without its leader. Lorelei, with the help of Loki, enchanted Thor and caused him to fall in love with her in hopes that Thor would then help Loki become the new ruler. Thor broke free of the enchantment, but the incident had strained Thor's relationship with Sif.
The gods of Asgard continued with the Great Althing, a ceremony to chose a new leader. But before Thor could return to Asgard, he was turned into a frog by Loki. Thor became embroiled in the battle between the frogs and the rats of Central Park until Thor the Frog could find his hammer. When he did so, he turned into a frog-like humanoid, the Thunder Frog. Meanwhile, in Asgard, Harokin, an Asgardian warrior, pretended to be Thor so as to cast his vote for Loki. Thor captured Loki, but it was Volstagg who found a machine that was using power from Surtur's sword to provide energy for Loki's transformation spell. Volstagg destroyed the machine, which returned Thor into his normal form. Thor then talked the Asgardians into making Balder their new leader.
Balder, Thor, and others then traveled to Hel, the realm of the Asgardian death goddess, Hela, to rescue a number of Earth souls that had been unrightfully taken by Hela. In battle with Hela herself, Thor's face was badly scarred, but he and his allies were able to save the souls. Immediately afterward, the omnipotent Beyonder transformed the leader of the Dark Elves into Kurse, and Thor defeated Kurse by sending him to Hel. With Kurse rampaging through her realm, Hela grew furious. She cursed Thor that so his bones became brittle and so that he could not die from his injuries. Humiliated but determined to remain a warrior to the end, Thor grew a beard to conceal his facial scars and donned a suit of battle armor to support his fragile body.
Loki took this opportunity to release the Midgard Serpent, the beast that was prophesized to kill Thor and start Ragnarok. Despite his weakened condition, Thor was able to kill the Midgard Serpent and, thanks to Hela's curse, Thor survived the battle although his body was completely broken and battered. Loki then sent the Destroyer armor to torment Thor, but instead, Thor managed to send his spirit into the Destroyer armor take command of it. He traveled to Hel in the Destroyer and began wreaking havoc. The desperate Hela had no choice but to fully restore Thor's original body and release him from her curse.
After a battle between Asgard and the Egyptian god of death, Seth, which resulted in Odin's restoration to the throne of Asgard, Thor began having many problems of his own. He began to suffer sudden and momentary bouts of weakness during times of stress. When Thor's spells of weakness almost caused his death several times, Thor asked for help from Doctor Strange, who entered Thor's mind and traveled with him in spirit. Inside Thor's mind, they discovered an evil version of Thor, who battled the real Thor. They then discovered that it was actually a portion of Loki's evil essence caused by the time Thor, Loki, and Odin had become mingled during Surtur's first attack on Asgard, and the Thor defeated the alternate version.
Thor, in his identity of Jarlson, had became friends with the architect Eric Masterson and Masterson's son, Kevin. Masterson was kidnapped, however, by the Mongoose, who had previously attacked Thor, trying to gain a cell sample from the god of thunder. Thor tracked Masterson to the High Evolutionary's base, freeing him and learning that the High Evolutionary was missing, along with Hercules. Thor, accompanied by Masterson, freed Hercules and the High Evolutionary from the Celestials holding them prisoner in the Black Galaxy. Upon returning to Earth, they were attacked by the Mongoose, and Masterson blocked a blast of energy meant for Thor, giving Thor and Hercules a chance to defeat Mongoose.
Unfortunately, Masterson was dying from his wounds. Thor pleaded with Odin on Masterson's behalf. Odin reluctantly agreed to save him, but did so by merging Thor and Masterson together, body and soul.
Thor and Masterson shared a body much as Blake and Thor had, although the latter were never separate beings. They dealt with their new condition, despite the problems it caused for Masterson's private life and custody of his son. Thor continued his adventures, and Loki continued to plague Thor and his friends. Eventually, the two's bodies were separated by a Celestial while they were involved in the birth of a new Celestial in the Black Galaxy. During a tremendous battle between Surtur and Ymir, a battle that signaled Ragnarok, Thor recovered Surtur's sword from the Sea of Eternal Night, hoping to confront the fire and ice elementals. Unfortunately, he was weakened by his separation from Masterson and was easily stopped by the two creatures. Masterson willingly merged with Thor again, even though it meant giving up part of his life. Ymir and Surtur fought over the sword, and Thor opened a dimensional rift that sucked them both into the Sea of Eternal Night.
When Thor returned to Earth, he quickly found himself in battle with Loki over the fate of Kevin, Masterson's son. Although Loki was defeated, he fired one last blast at Kevin and his mother Marcy, but it was blocked by Masterson's secretary, Susan Austin, killing her. It was the last straw. Angered as never before, Thor absorbed all of Loki's lifeforce with his hammer, presumably destroying the evil god forever, although this broke Odin's sacred rule forbidding Asgardian gods to kill each other.
However, this was all according to Loki's plan with Mephisto, as Loki was able to send his spirit into that of Odin and thus send Odin's spirit to the realm of Mephisto. Loki posed as Odin, banishing Thor from existence. Instead, Masterson's body was left intact, and it was Thor's soul that became banished. Masterson could still assume Thor's form after striking his cane, and Masteron tried to pose as Thor on Earth, including his membership in the Avengers. Loki's decrees as Odin became increasingly irrational and persecuting. Thor battled Loki but was left near-dead, rescued by Sif, Balder, and the Warriors Three. Surprisingly, Mephisto betrayed Loki, giving Odin's spirit over to the heroes, and Odin reclaimed his body, forcing Loki into Mephsito's waiting clutches, who claimed this to be his true goal all along. Odin revealed that Thor's spirit still resided with Masterson, and he separated the two. (Masterson was still able to transform into a version of Thor, and he created a separate heroic identity as Thunderstrike.)
This experience sparked Thor's anger at his father regarding his discipline of humility. He left Asgard, allying with the High Evolutionary and his newly created godlike beings, the Godpack. In the meantime, Odin decided that the time had come for Ragnarok to begin, and he needed Thor. Odin resurrected Red Norvell, who once held the mantle of thunder god but had died in battle, and re-made him into Thor. He declared Norvell to be his son and disowned Thor. He also told his son the truth about Donald Blake-- that he was never a separate being. Enraged, Thor severed his ties with Asgard.
Odin hoped to bypass Ragnarok by transforming the gods into mortals, but his plan was hijacked by Seth, and put it into action prematurely. Asgard fell, and its gods were banished to Earth. Odin hoped Thor would restore the gods to power, but before he could, Thor fell in battle with Onslaught. Thor vanished, along with other heroes such as the Avengers, but, like them, he was merely reborn to another dimension and was eventually returned.
When Thor returned, he discovered the Dark Gods had claimed Asgard and held the Asgardians captive. They sent the Destroyer on a rampage on Earth, and Thor and the Avengers confronted it. The Avengers were defeated and even Thor was left near dead. The mysterious Marnot offered to restore Thor in exchange for taking the place of Jake Olsen, a paramedic who died during the battle. Thor agreed, fighting the Destroyer again and banishing it to another dimension. Thor found he could transform between himself and Olsen, although he had none of Olsen's memories and that made it difficult to maintain two identities.
The Dark Gods, in the guise of Asgardians, attacked Olympus and left it in ruins. Thor and Hercules uncovered the truth led the battle against the Dark Gods, eventually freeing both Asgard and Olympus and restoring them to glory. Marnot revealed that the Dark Gods had once invaded Asgard ages ago, and Odin had prepared an enchantment on Hescamar, his raven, to seek out a way to defeat the Dark Gods should they return. The raven had fulfilled this by transforming into Marnot and helping Thor. Afterwards, Thor remained on Earth with his dual identity of Jake Olsen.
Shortly afterward, Loki brought the Destroyer back to Earth, animating it with the soul of Tarene. Ultimately, the Destroyer was thwarted and Tarene was restored, but during the battle, Thor was severely wounded. Dr. Jane Foster could heal Jake Olsen's wounds but remained unable to treat Thor's. Odin brought Thor to Asgard and physically separated Thor from his alter ego to allow Thor to heal and to allow Jake Olsen to return to his life on Earth.
When Surtur appeared on Earth, an assemblage of Asgardian heroes and their allies confronted the demon and his hordes. Tarene used her powers to restore Thor to full health, joining with Odin and the Asgardian warriors against Surtur. In the end, Odin tapped into both Thor and Tarene's powers to deliver a fatal blow against Surtur, sacrificing himself in the process.
In mourning the loss of his father, Thor initially refused to take Odin's place, until a discussion with Jake Olsen convinced Thor to assume the responsibilities of the new monarch of Asgard. Thor did so, gaining the Odin-power as a right of rule.
Thor allowed Tarene to take his place as a crime-fighting super-hero on Earth, under the guidance of Jake Olsen. When Thor Girl was nearly destroyed in a battle with the Grey Gargoyle, Olsen sought help from the Enchantress. She agreed to transform him into a version of Thor, but Olsen didn't know that the transformation came with a price, as it would rob Thor in Asgard of some of his power while Olsen was Thor. Desak, the self-styled destroyer of gods, confronted the Olsen-Thor, nearly killing him. Thor managed to return from Asgard to defeat Desak, with the help of the Executioner's mystic axe, given to Thor by the Enchantress. However, Thor seemed to be influenced by a corruption of the Odin-power he now possessed coupled with the influence of the Executioner's axe.
With the help of a Thor (Earth-3515) from an alternate future, Thor re-merged his younger self with Jake Olsen to again bring humanity back to Thor's perspective. In doing so, he lost the Odin-power but freed the world from its potential terrible history. Asgard was returned to its regular plane of existence.
Almost immediately, Thor was attacked by Loki, who had teamed with Surtur to create weapons for Thor's enemies that were forged in the same way as Mjolnir. The fight for Asgard ascended to a level of Ragnarok. Although Thor managed to defeat Loki, severing his head, the war left many of Thor's allies, such as Sif and the Warriors Three, dead. Thor forced Surtur to re-forge Mjolnir, which had shattered during the battle. While Asgard succumbed to Ragnarok, effectively wiping the Asgardian world from existence, Thor sought out the gods known as Those Who Sit Above In Shadow. Thor refused an offer to join them, instead confronting them in battle. Thor destroyed Those Who Sit Above In Shadow as Asgard died. The Odinpower congratulated Thor on succeeding at his greatest mission. Thor then closed his eyes, apparently joining his people in death.
Shortly following Thor's actions, the Mjolnir sped through the cosmos and landed on Earth, bringing the seemingly deceased Doctor Doom with it. Doom sought out the Mjolnir, believing he was worthy. However, when he reached the hammer, there was a blast of light, and Doom found he was not worthy of the Mjolnir. Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four stated that he believed the flash may have been a signal to someone, perhaps signifying the return of Thor and the Asgardians. Mr. Fantastic was right. Thor has returned, and is seeking to rebuild Asgard.
Thor did indeed rebuild Asgard, in Oklahoma, and he embarked on a quest to liberate his fellow Asgardians who were trapped in mortal shells. Thor tried not to give life to those who would harm his people, but the ever-mischievous Loki tricked Thor into releasing him and a slew of others. Still, Thor was pleased Asgard was filled with his subjects, and he was determined to make things work this time. Too bad for him, Loki had other plans. First, he stole the form of Sif, keeping her trapped within the form of a dying old woman. Then, Loki orchestrated a fiendish plot to force Thor to kill a member of the royal family - his own grandfather, Bor. Loki succeeded in bringing his plan to fruition, and after a furious battle between Thor and Bor, Bor was dead, and Balder had no choice but to cast Thor out of Asgard. Thor has his suspicions who was behind his current predicament just as he is sure he will one day have words with this individual.Since his banishment, Thor has come to learn Balder had struck a truce with Doctor Doom and moved the Asgardians to Latveria. What Balder did not know was that Doom intended to dissect his people in order to discover the key to immortality. Loki had his hand in this scheme as well, but once Thor learned of Doom's fiendish plot, he joined his brothers-in-arms against the mad despot. Doom would have easily been destroyed if not for his newest weapon against the God of thunder, the Destroyer armor. Doom had retooled Odin's creation so he could pilot the armor after he stole enough of Thor's energy to power it.

It takes approximately 21 days to get into a routine, so it's important not to skip workouts. But, if you do, don't get upset. After missing a workout, it becomes easier to skip the next, and before you know it, you're off your plan. Find a group of people to work out with so they can help keep you motivated. Eat healthy and don't overdo your workout in the beginning. A hard work out is great, but if you get really sore you might not want to go back. Also change it up, don't just do the same workout every day. This will help you get into better shape and not become bored.
Remember, you're not an Olympic athlete, so have fun, eat something decadent once in a while and don't get so wrapped up in your routine that it becomes stressful.

First, congratulations on taking steps towards improving your heart health and longevity! Exercise not only helps keep your heart healthy, it can even reverse some heart disease risk factors. The American Heart Association recommends individuals perform moderately-intense exercise for at least 30 minutes every day.
Aerobic or cardiovascular exercise is any form of activity that challenges your heart to work harder and become stronger. Cardiovascular fitness also improves the way your body uses oxygen, allowing you to perform physical activity longer without losing your breath. All aerobic exercises are great for your heart, but with these five physical activities, you're well on your way to great heart health:
Before starting any new exercise plan, talk with your doctor to make sure the physical activities you want to begin are safe for your age, health and fitness level.

Sure, it's the former home of "Uncut," but BET has been cleaning up its image with shows like "Sunday Best" and the network continues in that direction with a new talk show hosted by T.D. Jakes.
"I'm talking about everything and I'm talking to everybody. It's a very open forum," T.D. told "Access Hollywood" about the weekly program titled "Mind, Body and Soul."
The show doesn't just feature celebrity guests, like LL Cool J. T.D. will also have town hall meetings and discussions on important topics like gun violence.
Though he's a well-known pastor whose Hollywood films always include a positive message, he won't only be tackling subjects from a Christian perspective.
"It's not just faith-based. We will talk about faith, but we're gonna talk about economics. We're gonna to talk about weight loss. We're going to talk about families—a lot about families and relationships. As you look into my ministry, you'll see there's a great emphasis put on relationships," said T.D. who believes our relationships determine how happy we are.
"It's not how long you live. It's how well you life," he said.
T.D. talks more about his show and offers some parenting advice. Watch.

Customer Reviews for Eco-Friendly Wood Bedroom Graber Window Blinds
"AMAZING Customer Service"
By LK from SoCal
I ordered two blinds (one quite large) in the maple. They are PERFECT in my open kitchen! We had to accommodate a tile detail which created a measuring challenge. The customer service rep (Cynthia) went out of her way to help us. She even called the manufacturer to get our order right! That is real customer service, not just lip service. My future window purchases will be with Blinds Galore and I will reach out to their window specialists prior to my order to get it right every time.View this product
By customer from TN
I purchased these blinds for nine windows in real wood cherry without holes. They were delivered in perfect condition and installed with no problems.View this product

First & foremost, RateCity is a financial comparison website that is free for consumers to use.
We make money by generating qualified leads for financial institutions. A lead is generated when our users visit a financial institution's website via a link from the RateCity website. If you visit a bank's website via RateCity, we may get paid either for that click itself, or more likely, for you "doing something" with the institution - for example, opening an account, or completing an application form on the bank's website. If you apply for health insurance via RateCity, we will be paid a fee by the health insurer if your application is accepted and the policy is issued.
We also generate revenue from display advertising, which are the graphical ads you see on many websites.
Sometimes, there are institutions which don't appear in our search results, and this can be for one of three reasons:
If institutions aren't displayed in our search results, you can generally find their products in RateCity's "A-Z directory".

They try which is great - but for those who are highly sensitive this is not the best chain as mistakes are frequent -
It's a great pizza place for gf- when they get your order right. Ugh. My family went once and loved it but, the next time they got our order wrong. I ordered a gf small Italian pizza with no ham and they gave me that- but not gf. So, they got me a new one. Gf this time. The worker was very sorry and gave us a whole gf pizza- free! They have some gf cookies at the counter- try the lemon dream, it's really good. I recommend it. Kind of.
Decent GF pizza.
Practically all the pizzas can be made gluten free if you pay a bit extra for the GF free crust. All the sauces are GF and most, if not all, the toppings. The GF crust is thin and very, very crisp. They also have GF chicken wings and some desserts. This location is directly accross from the Burbank AMC 16 theaters.
1200 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96814
Delicious gf pizza prepared by knowledgeable staff.
806 H St NW, #2E, Washington, DC 20001
Best pizza we've had for so long.... Bonus that it's GF. Highly recommend the Mexican. Fantastic service. Thanks zpizza!!!
11720 Medlock Bridge Road, Duluth, GA 30097
Great pizza! They're offering free gluten-free crust option on their pizzas on Thursdays.
806 H St NW, #2E, Washington, DC 20001
Great gluten free crust and toppings and wonderful understanding staff.
833 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103
I ate here several times during my stay for a conference. I didn't have any issues. Good Togo
833 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103
Their gluten-free pizza is thin and crispy - and delicious. They will make any of their pizzas gluten-free for a dollar more. Staff is super friendly.
148 Main Street, Seal Beach, CA 90740
They cleaned and wiped everything down and took special precautions for my pizza. They seemed very knowledgable. They were unorganized and slow, but they still took care of me in a GF sense.
2710 Washington Blvd, Arlington, VA 22201
Realllllly good gf pizza!
46703 Mission Boulevard, Fremont, CA 94539
Best gf pizza I have ever had! Little bit expensive must buy a bigger pizza not small pizza so didn't give it 5 stars but the pizza was delicious!
1200 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96814
My daughter has celiacs disease and they make gluten free in another part of the kitchen. They also keep the dishes separate as well great place
12932 Newport Ave, Tustin, CA 92780
Great gluten free pizza !!
3217 Duke St, Alexandria, VA 22314
Seem to understand cross contamination issues. They are not a dedicated GF kitchen but the GF crusts are separate from the other crusts, they are cooked on their own pans in a separate part of the oven and are cut in their own box with a dedicated/separate GF cutter (all according to the person on the phone). I have eaten there before with no issues...but everyone is different. :)
833 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103
The pizza was really crispy and delicious!You can get almost all toppings.They charge $1 extra for small and $2 for medium size but it worths it :)
4902 Courthouse St, Williamsburg, VA 23188
Excellent pizza!!! Decent size. Best crust I have had. Wish there was one in NJ.
5701 W Slaughter Ln, Austin, TX 78739
My Yelp review: I drive from Houston to Austin for their Gluten Free Pizza! Well... sort of! Been making day trips this past year to visit my grandmother in a nearby nursing home and it used to be hard to find somewhere I could safely eat. But the "Find Me Gluten Free" app led me here and this is by far the best pizza I have found since my diagnosis 5 years ago. And the fact they offer GF pizza in two sizes is a huge bonus, I can now share with my newly diagnosed aunt!
4902 Courthouse St, Williamsburg, VA 23188
Awesome GF pizza and ingredients! Very crispy, nice flavor, reasonable pricing and very helpful staff. Wish there was one of these near where we live! Not sure if they have a dedicated oven and prep surface (I'm highly gluten-intolerant but not confirmed celiac).
26 Old Mammoth Rd, Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546
I watched them make the pizza and they seemed to take all the right steps to prevent cross contamination but I only keep the give about 10 mins and spent the next two in the bathroom. The pizza was good but if I ever went again I would watch the prep very closely
3600 Warren Way, Reno, NV 89509
UPDATE: ordered a pizza 9/2015 and they have now learned how to cook it properly so that it is crispy. Much better! Staff on the phone should be more knowledgeable but as this was a chain I knew what to order. 12/2013 Great that there are gluten free dairy free pizza options. About $25 for a 14inch two topping pizza. However, they needed to bake the crust before adding toppings a little more, it wasn't crusty enough. And they should use cheddar daiya- it has a better taste. Overall though I recommend it.
53 W Thomas Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85013
If I could give negative stars I would. I specifically asked for gluten free crust and they gave me regular. double check everything from this location.
2549 Eastbluff Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660
We were glutened after eating their pizza. The crust also had a fishy after taste....very off-putting. Never again.
73607 Hwy 111, Palm Desert, CA 92260
Sunday Aug.16 I ordered 2 extra large pizzas with free chicken wings. I was the 4th person to grab a slice of and I saw a baby cockaroach in the box. Immediately I grabbed a paper towel and killed it. I tried to contact zpizza but they were already closed. I ordered after 8pm. The next morning I contacted management and she had me call the owner. Originally Pablo (the owner) told me I would have to return the uneaten pizzas to get a refund. I explained to him that I was there for work and I lived over an hour away. (Why would I save food with a cockaroach in it?) He then told me 2 give him 2 days and he would refund my money once he got back to his office. 2 days later I called him and no answer. I called the pizza shop directly and was told by the manager that Pablo (the owner was not going to issue a refund. As a business owner why would you tell your customer one thing then ignore their calls and have your managers tell them the complete opposite? Bad customer service. They are making no attempt to rectify the problem or even apologize that my food had a roach in it. So basically, I just gave them $43 for pizza we had to throw away. I do not like dishonest business owners. I would not recommend this place, not because the food was bad but because they have poor customer service and a dishonest business owner!
3600 Warren Way, Reno, NV 89509
Best pizza I've had in probably 5 years!! Will go back if I'm in the area again!!
1200 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96814
VERY expensive, two large pizzas cost us $63, and only one was gluten free (which they upcharge for). My families regular pizza came out first, leaving me to watch them eat for 25 minutes (needless to say they had finished their pizza) before mine even arrived. It was not worth the wait or price.
10035 Adams Ave, Huntington Beach, CA 92646
July 29 2015 updating my last review: we just went here again we ordered 4 gf take and bake pizzas I explained I needed no cross contamination and was assured it would be safe. When we picked up the pizzas we again asked if they were all gf and made in a separate location we were assured they were. When we got them home one crust looked different than the rest when I called about it I was told that they made 3 gf and the other HAD gluten. The staff never apologized but offered to refund me for the one pizza. I will Not be back.
1021 Avenida Pico, San Clemente, CA 92673
Delicious gluten free pizza. Gluten intolerant
26 Old Mammoth Rd, Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546
Very happy with our lunch there. Best gluten free pizza crust I've had so far. We also ordered a pear & Gorgonzola salad that was delicious!
1200 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96814
Great pizza and DF options as well. Plenty for left overs! A bit pricey but seems like everything is here!
12817 Galveston Court, Manassas VA, 20112
They have a great tasting gluten free option but it does not appear to have a separate preparation area and communication with the owners/cook seems a little limited. Hard to know how seriously they take gluten free preparation. I would caution those with extreme sensitivity and Celiac- however, my hubby (Celiac) seemed to eat the pizza without issues.
901 10th Avenue South, Great Falls, MT 59405
My Boyfriend has Celiac Disease and we are so amazed by how wonderful this pizza is! We wish there was one in Wyoming! 10/10!
1200 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96814
Really great GF pizza options. A winner!
5079 N Hamilton Rd, Columbus, OH 43230
Great Pizza
17655 Harvard Ave, Suite D, Irvine, CA 92614
Consistently good, quick delivery. We even had them cater our 5 yr old's Bday party. The delivery was on time and everything was hot and yummy. I highly recommend. Tues. night is 1/2 price pizza, even large GF, and they will deliver it too (I think for $3) which is still a great deal.
96 Cornerstone Dr, Cary, NC 27519
Nothing about this place was good!! We walked in and no one acknowledged us-we had to ask to place an order. The counter boy tried to be friendly and pointed out the gf selections to me. We ordered and waited 45 minutes for my gf pizza andmy daughters small pizza. My husbands calzone didn't come out for 5 more minutes. There was NOONE there when we walked in and 1 other family came after us. They got their order before us. My gf pizza wasn't even cooked all the way and had to ask them to cook it longer. Even after they cooked it longer-and I had to go up and get it-it still was undercooked. None of our food had any flavor. My husband's calzone was a lil bigger than a hot pocket but tasted about the same. I broke a glass and had to ask them to come clean up the shattered glass. I use this APP frequently while traveling and that's why I picked this place. That is why I'm writing a review. I would never come here again.
1200 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96814
Love zpizza! I have never gotten sick from any of their locations. They are trained very well to prepare and cook food free of cross contamination for celiacs. I had the pear salad and BBQ chicken pizza from the Honolulu location. Both were delicious and full of flavor.
96 Cornerstone Dr, Cary, NC 27519
Great GF pizza straight from the oven. The owners are often on site and are very conscientious, as are the employees. The pizza is delicious and the toppings and sauce are so fresh. There is literally no other GF pizza like this to my knowledge. Our #1 pizza place.
3376 Princess Anne Rd, Virginia Beach, VA 23456
5175 Linda Vista Rd, San Diego, CA 92110
GF pizza is not baked in a pan, but directly on the oven surface with gluten pizza. Pizza peels and cutters are shared. Bits of gluten pizza stuck to the bottom of my gf pizza.
2710 Washington Blvd, Arlington, VA 22201
Best gluten free crust I've ever had!
111 S Broadway, Rochester, MN 55902
The Santa Fe with lime chicken and the Tuscan pizza are amazing. This was definitely some of the best pizza I've had. They keep everything separate to reduce cross contamination. A little pricey though!
1620 Broadway, Seattle, WA 98122
In town for a work conference and I don't like crowds or loud restaurants. Got a large Tuscany pizza to go and even went back 2 days later since it was so a good. No reaction or upset digestion.
3941 South Bristol Street, Santa Ana, CA 92704
I originally gave this place 5 stars because I was so excited to be able to have gluten free dairy free pizza delivered, but since then I have gotten sick twice. I thought maybe the first time was a fluke but then I knew there was definitely something wrong when I got sick again. They must not be taking precautions to prevent cross contamination. So if you're just gluten free for fun, have at it but if you have celiac disease, STAY AWAY!
9451 Lorton Market Street, Lorton, VA 22079
Sick every time I've eaten here, after being assured the toppings were safe as well.
3217 Duke St, Alexandria, VA 22314
So/so crust. The pizza came with green peppers, which we did not order. That's not a gluten concern but might raise concerns about quality control, in general.
1200 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96814
Best gluten free pizza! Vegan options too.
6328 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22306
pizza is delicious! my husband is not gf and tore up the gf pizza. we will be back!
945 N High St, Columbus, OH 43201
My mom loves the gluten-free zPizza option and that's really the most important part. For me, since I do not have to eat gluten-free - the pizza crust always seems rubbery. The pizza crust is never cut completely so we have to tear each piece apart with ends poorly. It tastes quite sweet, too. Sweeter than their normal pizzas. Overall, it's a great option for my mother and she's very satisfied. Their online menu allows you to view only they gluten-free items. This helps a lot when ordering!
111 S Broadway, Rochester, MN 55902
The gluten free crust is excellent. My teenager who recently had to go gf loved it.
1365 East Gladstone Street #500, Glendora, CA 91740
I have eaten here and not gotten sick. if you tell them that you have a gluten allergy, they will be extra cautious about cleaning the prep area and using different utensils. The crust is thin yet chewy. So far, I like their crust the best of the local gluten free pizza that I've tried. They have gourmet toppings and don't charge extra to get a pizza gluten free. Unfortunately, the lunch special of pizza by the slice does not include the gluten free pizzas. none of the sandwiches are gluten free, only the pizza.
833 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103
Pizza was good. Edges of the crust that didn't have toppings were burned.
1943 N Campus Ave, Upland, CA 91784
I got really sick eating here. They use a special paddle, change their gloves and use good handling procedures right up to the point where they put the GF crust on the stone with the regular pizzas. Other locations put the gluten free pizzas on a pan when firing them which keeps them from being contaminated. This is not a good restaurant for customers avoiding gluten for medical reasons.

Here she is, hangared at the IWM Duxford.
The wing, engine cowlings and cockpit sides are panelled in aluminium - the fuselage aft of the cockpit and tailplane covered in traditional doped linen fabric. The stirrup and open hand hold to help pilot and ground crew clamber up onto the wing root are ingenious. They are interlinked by an internal mechanism tensioned by a bungee loop. The hand-hold hatch is normally closed
and the stirrup retracted. From ground level pull the stirrup down and the hand-hold hatch opens in sympathy. Once you're up on the wing, close the hand-hold hatch and the stirrup springs back into its fuselage stowage - clack!
This is NOT the airframe's construction plate but instead what is known as the 'Mod. plate' - modification plate, bearing relevant drawing numbers etc. It sits beneath this little perspex window on top of the starboard tailplane stabiliser. The constructor's serial number plate, I am reliably advised, is a matchbox-sized brass affair mounted within the cockpit. The Hurricane's stitched and doped fabric skin is very evident on the patch seen here, with saw-tooth cut edges to avoid fraying.
Press photo call out on the aerodrome...
Starboard side of the Packard Merlyn engine fitted...centrifugal supercharger at the rear (left). See how Hawker used mechanical joints for their multi-tubular spaceframe structures - in the engine brace - not welded joints...
Port side of the engine bay - this shot also shows the classical fabric patch fairing-in the gun ports in the wings. This aircraft is quite rare in having twelve-gun wings, the hitherto standard four machine guns being mounted inboard as here, but in this case with two more added within each wing further outboard.
This port-side access hatch gives access to the modern battery and to control-surface cable runs, as you can see.
Under-belly radiator scoop and the undercarriage stowage bay... See how there's clear view clean through the radiator matrix to the pale-coloured hangar floor beyond...
Undercarriage bay into which the oleo legs and wheels fold inwards, each leg's attached door panels then fairing-in the closed bay as they latch shut.
Here's Sidney Camm's famously preferred method of fuselage construction, inherited by the Hurricane from the preceding biplane Hawker family of Hart, Hind, Nimrod, Demon and Fury. The mechanically-jointed tube frame is given a more rounded cross-section by the bolt-on wooden formers which are then linked and braced longitudinally by add-on stringers. The red-oxide-painted linen fabric is then stretched over the combined structure, dope shrunk and painted externally... This is the view down the fuselage, from just behind the cockpit - control cables very evident... There's the stirrup/hand-hold bungee loop on the right.
The office - no cushion 'cos the pilot would sit on his parachute pack, lowered into that bucket seat. Shiny divergent panels are the heel boards for the intrepid pilot's size nines.
If anyone else is interested, I'll happily post some more. Makes a change from bloody racing cars, dunnit?

Supply chains have become increasingly global over the latter half of the century, as the globalization of trade was fueled by cheap oil. Today, the transportation of goods consumes 15 million barrels of oil a day—roughly one-fifth of total production.
Explore levers for potential energy-efficiency gains in each stage of the supply chain.
In an ongoing study of energy efficiency in supply chains, McKinsey looked at numerous opportunities to reduce the amount of oil used to get goods from a manufacturer's dock to a retailer's shelf. These opportunities are available not only to manufacturers but to wholesalers, distributors, carriers, and third-party businesses. We've grouped these opportunities into six levers to illustrate possible next steps. Of course, the players in a chain operate independently from one another, so achieving all of these gains would require coordinated efforts and investments—a considerable challenge.
Finally, we examine potential gains in supply chain energy efficiency under three scenarios, based on low, medium, and high oil prices and electricity costs. In any scenario, however, companies would do well to set up energy-efficient supply chains, as their benefits greatly outweigh any downsides.

FF Zine Serif Display supports 101 different languages such as Spanish, English, Portuguese, German and French in Latin scripts. (Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.)
Berlin-based designer Ole Schäfer specializes in large families of business-like text faces. FF Zine is a fine example of his logic. Art Directors often have trouble finding matching matching typefaces across several different styles.
FF Zine's design grew out of an earlier project of Schäfer's. In 1996, he drew a two-weight headline face for Dresden's Sächsische Zeitung newspaper. A dedicated display system offering multiple "atmospheres" was called for. His solution was a type system with three different sub-families – Sans, Serif and Slab – which were developed simultaneously, although the Serif variant served as the "master" style from which the other two evolved.
All three sub-families offer five weights of type, and each weight includes a true italic companion. The fonts all contain two types of numerals. As the name indicates, FF Zine is optimized for use in editorial design, primarily for magazine headlines and subheads.
