This heirloom quality crystal is characterized by visual purity, sharp faceting and precise polishing, offering shining clarity at industry standards. Also available in an array of beautiful colors.
Remarkably refractive, optic crystal was formerly used exclusively in optical and scientific instrumentation, until Schonbek's engineers began to incorporate it into their chandelier designs. Optic crystal is also available in selected Jewel Tones™ colors.
This machine-cut crystal is characterized by visual purity, sharp faceting and precise polishing that offers clarity at industry standards.
|Vintage Crystal®
Recalling the fashions of a bygone era, these fanciful beads, dainty droplets and antique-style faceted ovals are woven into chains creating a jewel-like brilliance. Vintage Crystal® is also available in a selection of Jewel Tones™ colors.
|The Legacy Collection®
Legacy Crystal® comes from the traditional glass-making region around Venice. Modestly priced compared to cut crystal, this Venetian crystal is molded and fire-polished to produce a subtle luminosity.
|Rock Crystal
When Adolf Schonbek began crafting chandeliers in 1870, social life was illuminated by candlelight. This weak flickering light was refracted and magnified by quartz pendants adorning the chandeliers. The same crystal that illuminated the grand palaces of Europe centuries ago is still available to those who value lighting as an art form and a Schonbek chandelier as a work of art.
Rock crystal is mined, not manufactured and therefore it cannot be mass-produced. Skilled gem cutters grind, cut and polish each rock crystal by hand to enhance its splendor and luminosity. No synthetic process will ever replicate the natural prismatic beauty of rock crystal

Corn futures rose moderately Tuesday morning. Early Tuesday losses in nearby soybeans and wheat seemed bearish for corn prices as well, especially with the U.S. dollar rising significantly. Traders cited short-covering for a portion of the surprising rise, while we are inclined to give some credit to harvest delays caused by current Corn Belt rainfall. December corn futures climbed 5.5 cents to at $4.425/bushel Tuesday morning and May rose 4.75 cents to $4.63/.
The soy complex was decidedly mixed. Although persistent rumors of Chinese buying have recently supported soybean futures, the nearby contracts dipped Tuesday morning. One has to wonder if the concurrent U.S. dollar bounce undercut prices somewhat. Talk of strong demand seemed to boost soyoil values, whereas the likely unwinding of meal/oil spreads may have depressed meal futures. November soybeans slipped 2.25 cent to $12.7075/bushel in Tuesday morning trading, while December soyoil surged 0.49 cents to 40.88 cents/pound, and December soymeal sagged $4.4 to $403.1/ton.
Indian news may have depressed the wheat markets Tuesday. In contrast to Tuesday morning gains in the corn pit, wheat futures moved generally lower. U.S dollar strength may have weighed upon golden grain values somewhat, but bears were probably reacting to news that Indian officials are set to lower their floor price for exported product, which has the potential to undercut the global market. December CBOT wheat tumbled 4.5 cents to $6.88/bushel around midsession Tuesday, while December KCBT wheat slid 2.75 cents to $7.5875, and December MGE futures lost 3.25 cents to $7.5325.
Delivery news may have depressed cattle futures. Last Friday's cash strength and Monday's talk of wholesale firmness seemed to set a bullish tone for the short-term cattle futures outlook. However, the afternoon CME report indicated that 33 fresh delivery notices had been posted against expiring October futures, thereby suggesting short-term prospects are less promising. December cattle futures fell 0.32 cents to 132.82 cents/pound just before lunchtime Tuesday, while April slid 0.35 to 135.30. Meanwhile, November feeder cattle plunged 1.25 cents to 168.15 cents/pound, and January dove 1.20 to 167.27.
The hog market proved surprisingly strong Tuesday morning. Although major seasonal weakness over the next 6-8 weeks is expected to depress the hog and pork complex, Monday's expiration of the October contract left nearby December hog futures at a substantial discount to suspected cash values. That difference seemed to spark active buying this morning. December hog futures leapt 1.32 cents to 87.67 cents/pound late Tuesday morning, while April jumped 0.80 cents to 90.25.

THEY'RE new. But are they different? Can California's new Congress members bring much- needed change to the nation's capital?
Of the congressional freshmen sworn in Thursday, 14 were from California. The Golden State's incoming U.S. representatives embody the changes in the national political landscape we heard so much about after the November election: They're overwhelmingly Democrats, more than half have Latino or Asian surnames, and one will create a whole new congressional demographic as the first openly gay non-white member of the House.
But these are not exactly fresh faces: Most come from the state Legislature, and a couple of others have been serving on city councils.
In other words, they are politicians. And they are mostly Sacramento politicians, hardly the people you'd choose to deliver lessons in effective government to Washington.
Still, here's hoping the first class of California congress members elected after reforms in the redistricting and primary systems will prove to be less partisan and short-sighted in their approach to writing the nation's laws than their predecessors have been.
Southern California's congressional lineup changes dramatically this week. Out are Reps. Elton Gallegly, David Dreier and Jerry Lewis, who are retiring from the House, and Howard Berman, Laura Richardson, Joe Baca and Mary Bono Mack, who lost bids for re-election.
In are Tony Cardenas, who becomes the San Fernando Valley's first Hispanic-surnamed U.S. representative; Mark Takano, a Rialto schoolteacher who is Congress' first openly gay non-white; Julia Brownley, Gloria Negrete- McLeod, Raul Ruiz and Alan Lowenthal.
The departures of Republicans Gallegly, Dreier and Bono Mack have helped Democrats to add four seats to their edge in the California delegation, where the partisan score now reads 38-15.
These changes won't improve the ways of Washington unless the new congressmen and congresswomen demonstrate independence and courage. A few do come in with political clean slates, including Takano, Ruiz – the physician who defeated Bono Mack in November – and Ami Bera, the doctor who unseated Sacramento-area Republican Dan Lungren. But the rest are politicians climbing the ladder.
As the fiscal-cliff mess reminds us, a lot needs to change in Washington. Could it possibly come from veterans of the often-dysfunctional government in California? That's hard to believe, but the state's new representatives have a chance to prove skeptics wrong.

Breedlove scores on punt returns as Guyer advances
MANSFIELD — Guyer running back D.J. Breedlove wasn't perfect Friday night.
But on a night when the weather and wet footballs caused headaches for both teams, Breedlove did plenty right in helping Guyer to a 42-13 win over Waco in the area round of the Class 4A Division I playoffs at Vernon Newsom Stadium.
Breedlove rushed for 150 yards on 17 carries and scored a touchdown to lead a vaunted Wildcat rushing attack, but he might have won the game with his punt returns, scoring twice from 28 and 97 yards — the shortest and longest punt-return touchdowns in school history.
"We knew all week long that if we got our hands on it, we had a good chance of scoring on those returns," Guyer head coach John Walsh said. "They keep their offensive linemen in on punt coverage, and we feel good about D.J. in space."
Guyer will advance to play the winner of today's El Paso Chapin-Amarillo game in the regional semifinals at 1 p.m. Nov. 30 at Lubbock's Lowrey Field.
Down 7-0 after the first quarter, the Wildcats tied the game at 7 with a 7-yard run from quarterback Jerrod Heard, and after the Guyer defense forced a three-and-out on Waco's ensuing possession, Breedlove went to work.
Waco (8-4) was forced to punt from its 4-yard line into a stiff 20-mph wind, and Breedlove went untouched to score on the return from 28 yards out, giving the Wildcats their first lead with just less than 10 minutes to play in the first half.
Guyer (10-2) struggled offensively for the remainder of the half and overcame a Breedlove fumble deep in its own territory to hold Waco off the board, aside from a 102-yard kickoff return from Tyler Taylor.
The Lions had a chance to reclaim the lead on the first drive of the second half with the wind at their back, but Guyer's defense forced a three-and-out, and Breedlove made the Lions pay once again while redeeming himself for his two fumbles.
With the wind at his back, Waco quarterback Traynham Moore punted the ball over Breedlove's head, as the senior running back retreated 30 yards back to his own 3-yard line before picking up the ball and taking off.
He hit a pile of players at the Guyer 25-yard line and emerged from the mess to scamper for a 97-yard touchdown.
Walsh said he was yelling at Breedlove to not field the punt inside his own 5-yard line, but his concern quickly changed to joy.
"I was going to do it regardless," Breedlove said. "I wanted to make a play for my team because I knew I messed up earlier on that fumble. I just wanted to do whatever I could to help my team out, and I knew if I just got past their gunners — their fast guys — I could make a big play."
Waco stayed in the game in the first half with the help of two Guyer turnovers and the big kickoff return for Taylor — his fifth of the season — but Walsh was never concerned as he took his team into the locker room at halftime.
"There was maybe a series in the first half where we didn't hurt ourselves and they made us punt, but the other times we just kept hurting ourselves and putting the ball on the ground," Walsh said. "I told them we were going to do some bad things in this weather, but it's how we react that's going to decide the game."
The Wildcats dominated in all three phases in the second half, holding Moore to an 0-for-7 passing clip after passing for 56 yards in the first half and keeping the Lions to just 40 total yards in the second half.
Waco entered the game averaging 46 points per game in its previous five contests but was held scoreless in the second half.
"Defensively, all year long, people haven't been able to sustain drives," Walsh said. "They saw us put the ball on the ground [offensively] a little and knew they had to hold the rope a little bit, so they held the rope."
Heard didn't have a spectacular game statistically, rushing for 99 yards and a score while going 5-of-6 passing for 26 yards and a touchdown, but Walsh said that was the plan all along.
His touchdown pass, a 15-yarder to Jonathan Pershall, capped a 13-play, 80-yard drive that chewed more than six minutes off the clock and gave Guyer a 28-13 lead.
"We knew going into it we wanted to establish the run, and once we got it rolling, we didn't need him to throw the ball," Walsh said.

Learn how to quickly and efficiently gain control over the financial aspects of your small business with this powerful accounting software program.
In 12 lessons, you'll master the tools you'll need to set up a chart of accounts; reconcile your checking account; create and print invoices, receipts, and statements; track your payables, inventory, and receivables; create estimates; and generate reports.
With QuickBooks, you get the same ease of use of Quicken coupled with a more traditional approach to accounting to meet the needs of small to midsized businesses. Whether you're new to QuickBooks or have already used earlier versions of this accounting software program, this course will empower you to take control of financial accounting for your business.
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
The Chart of Accounts is the heart and soul of QuickBooks. In today's lesson, you'll learn how to take fullest advantage of this powerful tool to add, edit, and access accounts that you can use to track the value of your business or monitor your income and expenses.
Today, we'll learn how to use company lists in QuickBooks to gather and organize all of the information you'll need to properly conduct your business. By the time you finish this lesson, you'll know how to store and retrieve all manner of useful facts, including data on customers, vendors, products, services, important events, and more.
Today, you'll become comfortable working with bank accounts in QuickBooks. You'll learn how to tell QuickBooks about checks, withdrawals, and transfers between accounts. You'll get firsthand experience with adding, finding, and editing or voiding all manner of checking and savings account transactions. You'll even be prepared to reconcile your QuickBooks checking account with your monthly bank statement to ensure that no errors were made.
Without an organized system for managing all the bills your business receives, they can really start to stack up. And when bills pile up, it isn't hard to overlook one or two from time to time. That, of course, can result in late fees and credit difficulties. Today, you'll learn how to use QuickBooks to make sure you are paying all of your bills right on time—not too early, and not too late.
Today, we're going to finish our discussion of QuickBooks' accounts payable tools. You'll learn how to get QuickBooks to memorize bills that you find yourself paying over and over again, month after month. Then, you'll learn how to create some useful accounts payable reports.
You'll find today's lesson useful if your business ever finds itself required to collect payment from a customer long after the products or services have been delivered. Today is the day you'll get some hands-on experience with invoicing. You'll find out how to create an invoice, fill it with invoice items, edit it, print it, and even email it to your customers.
Okay, so you've created an invoice and delivered it to your customer. With a little bit of luck, your customer will place the invoice on his or her "to do" list and, eventually, you'll receive some form of payment for your troubles. Now what? You'll find out in today's lesson.
Today, we'll explore some useful customer-related reports that can help you keep track of exactly who owes you what. Then, you'll learn what to do if you ever incur a charge on behalf of a customer and wish to be reimbursed for that expense.
Today, you're going to learn how to customize your QuickBooks invoices to give them a more professional look. You'll also learn how to work with two of QuickBooks' more advanced features: inventory tracking and estimating.
In our final lesson, you'll find out how to create, use, and memorize a wide variety of useful reports that can help you locate, organize, sort, total, summarize, and otherwise make sense of all those transactions you've painstakingly entered into QuickBooks.

A Surfeit of Churning
Well, at least the market wasn't down another 1% Wednesday. In fact, the pattern changed to feature some bounces along with the intraday declines.
The good news is that breadth was quite positive for such a down day. The bad news is that, even with that positive breadth, the McClellan Summation Index will need yet another positive day for it to turn upward again. It stopped rising a week ago, when the S&P 500 was at 1501, and I think the key takeaway here is that it hasn't been able to get going again, even despite positive breadth in four out of the following five trading days. It won't take much of a decline to turn send this indicator south, either....378 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Ratings for Dr. William C. Shiel
I was hospitalized for 21 days in the Mission Viejo hospital with unknown desease of losing weight fever low red blood cell count and no body knew what I had the doctors there screened me for from Aids to cancer to whatever else I dont exactley remember, but thank God for Dr Shiel he showed up one day like an Angel sent from God, he diagnosed me w/ poly mialgia rheumatica (PMR) , and immidiatley I started feeling better, I cant thank him enough for what he did for me. I love r Shiel , he is very caring and ind , may God give him a long and healthy life...
office staff is excellenthe is great doctor very detail-oriented doctor,who has agreat bedside manner (and i find most men dont)the office was helpful with all my issue. glad i fouund him.
While Dr. Shiel and his nursing staff are very good his officed staff is extremely unhelpful, rude, and incompetent. A good doctor and the patient experience relies on the ability of the office staff to do their job. The staff in Dr.Shiel's office should be replaced immediately.
I would rate Dr. Shiel as fabulous on many levels. He is compassionate and caring, and his medical knowledge and ability in diagnosing my health issues, along with his follow-up care, makes him deserving of at least 6 stars (which I unfortunately cannot do here). : )
Excellent doctor! Very compassionate and very knowledgeable. I have recommended Dr. Shiel to several people due to his experise and attitude towards his patients.
I ran across this website accidentally, but wanted to respond because I feel so strongly about my doctor. Dr. Shiel has been my rheumatologist for 8 yrs. I have moved out of the area, but continue to travel 1 1/2 hrs. each way to see him because he is such an excellent dr. I have always felt that my comments, opinions, questions, etc. were treated with a great deal of respect. He has NEVER been even the slightest bit condescending or in a hurry (unlike other rheumatologists I've visited). He has a great deal of compassion and seems very genuine in his concern. He is always "up to the minute" with my condition and possible treatments, and usually one step ahead of me. I would highly recommend him. He's sharp and efficient while exhibiting concern and realizes the most important thing to me: I have a life and I need to live it with as little impact from my rheumatoid arthritis as possible. And the doctor who administers remicade in his office, Maureen, is also very compassiona

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone/Downes-O'Neill in Chicago, Ill.
The Class III futures finished Tuesday's pre-holiday trade in a slightly higher fashion on a quiet 532 contracts changing hands. While outside markets ― in particular grains ― rallied into the mid-week 4th of July holiday, we might be best served looking at Tuesday's trade as consolidation from Monday's futures price losses.
Although dairy traders will keep a close eye on the grain complex, it is our opinion that a slow-demand holiday week may continue to bring offers to the CME spot market and trump any further grain-complex gains for the balance of the week. And that's assuming the grain complex, which is materially overbought, continues to climb when it re-opens at 9:30 CDT this morning.
The USDA also offered up a mixed Dairy Products report for May, as people were buying fireworks Tuesday afternoon. The report looked slightly bullish for cheese versus our expectations, as May American cheese production was 375.9 million pounds ― up 0.9 percent from a year ago, but below our estimate for 383.3 million pounds. Mozzarella cheese production fell 2.1 percent from a year ago. No real surprise here as this number goes hand-in-hand with poorer sales in that category since about March of this year. Overall, total cheese production was below expectations at 915.8 million pounds vs. our estimate for 924.7.
Ultimately, we expect the report to have little impact on a Class III and cheese futures market that is already carrying sizable premiums against a stable to lower spot market this week. Hot weather across much of the U.S. will continue to underpin futures, but be aware the dairy complex has been trading hot weather for weeks now.
Producers ought to look at their profit margins for the balance of the year. Don't try to keep up with Chicago, just do what you know is right for the dairy. If you are one of those producers who could take advantage of the rally in prices, great. If not, it is fine to sit tight.
Weather helped prop grains up again Tuesday and high pressure continues to dominate as temperatures throughout the Corn Belt were 90 to 100 degrees yesterday. The six- to 10 day period features mostly below-normal precipitation, except normal in northwestern and far southern crop areas. Temperatures are expected to be above-normal in northern crop areas, slightly above in central areas, but normal in southern crop areas.
As for corn, the 30%+ price increase over the past several weeks has been almost entirely driven by the supply side of the grain equation. The question traders will eventually ask themselves is how we will compete for what was purported to be increasing export demand by the USDA when pegged squarely against a cheaper competitor: Brazil. Not to mention the rationing that is occurring domestically for livestock and ethanol. These may still be on the back-burner this week, but as we re-test all-time contract highs, expect some shifting of thought to the demand side of the balance sheet.
The grain complex will re-open the week's trade at 9:30 AM CDT. We look for a firm open simply on the fact that there was no material rain over the holiday trading hiatus.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study investigates gene abnormalities in Primary Immune Deficiency(PID) with a goal of improving the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
The specific disorders include:
- X linked hyper IgM Syndrome which is caused by an abnormality in the CD40L gene.
- NEMO associated immune deficiency which is caused by an abnormality in a gene called NEMO.
- Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) which has an unknown genetic basis.
- Other disorders of immunoglobulin production.
This study will:
- Better characterize the clinical features of CD40 L deficiency and NEMO associated immune deficiency and other related primary immune deficiency syndromes.
- Determine the frequency of CD40 L and Nemo abnormalities.
- Determine whether particular abnormalities in these genes are associated with more of less severe illness or with specific symptoms.
- Explore the basic mechanism by which these altered genes cause immune dysfunction.
- Identify other genes causing low immune globulin levels and related primary immune deficient states.

These free-rolling furlers make all the difference in headsail control by allowing racers and cruisers to quickly furl and reef from the safety of the cockpit, while maintaining great sail shape and optimal speed.
Halyard Swivel Turns Freely Strong, lightweight halyard swivel reduces windage and weight aloft to minimize pitching and heeling. Stacked bearing races evenly distribute radial and thrust loads to ball bearings; foils turn freely under halyard loads. Independent halyard and tack swivels furl sail center before head and tack for improved sail shape and upwind pointing.
Drum Installs Over Existing Turnbuckle Units are adaptable to a variety of rigging options for easy installation. Harken toggle assembly accepts standard turnbuckle using swage, rod, Norseman® or Sta-Lok® terminals. Toggle flips for fork or tang chainplate installation. A single stainless steel clevis pin provides access to the turnbuckle for adjustment.
Stainless Steel Feeder Stainless steel feeder allows fast singlehanded hoist and quick sail changes.
Removable Split Drum Line guard and spool come off easily for racing.

In this month's web exclusive, we decided to show you the best way to add a tilt chromed steering column to your classic. Aside from modernizing the car and adding comfort, this addition also dresses up the interior of the car by giving it some extra luxury and style as well. Today, there are several steering columns out on the market, but we opted to use one of the staple figures in our industry − ididit. Who did it? "I did it." That was the answer that Ken Callison constantly told people whenever he would set up a booth, and the name stuck from there. From its inception in a humble two car garage, the company has now grown into a full blown company with almost 40 employees.
These made-in-the-USA columns are easy to work with and will only take you a couple of hours to install. For this special Tech Feature, we decided to install a keyed ididit column into our '70 Caprice and as you will whitness, these columns can be added with ease as they dont take that much time to install from start to finish. Now follow along, as we take on the task of installing this steering column, leaving us saying "ididit" once we finished up with the install.
1. We were ready to install the chrome ididit column.
2. With all of the work we added to the car, this stock straight column and steering wheel has become well just old, and was ready for an upgrade.
3. The rag joint needed to be loosened to allow the old column to be removed.
4. Two bolts hold the steering column in place and they needed to be loosened and removed when it was time to remove the column.
5. As soon as the mounting bolts came loose, the turn signal wiring harness was unhooked.
6. The straight column needed to be removed so we could begin the swap out.
7. You can see how this new column will improve a whole new look. You will need to remove the mounting bracket from the factory column.
8. The mounting bracket went on to the column and will lock in the steering column.
9. The new ididit column comes retrofitted and was ready to be put back in place.
10. The spline on the column was connected to the Borgeson rag joint.
11. The column was bolted back onto the stock locations and was held in place because of the bracket that was installed earlier.
12. The steering wheel adapter was lined up to make sure that the steering wheel bolted up straight.
13. With the column locked in place, we installed the CFR steering wheel adapter.
14. The wheels pointing straight allowed us to center the steering wheel.
15. The horn ring was installed finishing up the install. With the new ididit column, you will be able to get in and out while looking stylish as the chrome finish will give your car a custom look but the new function of the column will give you the reliability and feel of a new car.

Very limited gluten free menu. Has 2 chicken option.
815 Browning St, Redding, CA 96003
Should be a zero. NOTHING HERE IS GLUTEN FREE. Had to go there for a family member's bday and was told by the cook that everything has gluten. Had to starve and drink water. Pathetic!!!!
3001 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408
Don't do it.. it's basically a wheat-a-palooza. Nothing on their menu is truly GF as there is basically a guarantee of cross contamination. Also, the staff have no idea what being celiacs means. Left right away.
2340 U.S. 93, Kalispell, Mt 59901
Online recommendations out of date. Manager was kind and knowledgeable. extremely limited he items. I do not recommend. I was ill after eating here.
3001 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408
Their BBQ sauce is not gluten free
1011 N Dobson Rd, Mesa, AZ 85201
My girlfriend is celiac. We've eaten BBQ here on several occasions and she has never had any problems whatsoever. They have a good selection of entrees and all but one of their sauces (there are several at your table) is GF.
14601 Minnesota 7, Minnetonka, MN 55345
Good food but not celiac safe. :(
2340 U.S. 93, Kalispell, Mt 59901
I found a feather on my chicken wing. Never eating there again. They don't have many options for gluten free people either I felt
3001 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408
We should have left when we sat down to the table and it was full of crumbs and had to ask them to clean it off. Then I thought I would be safe with the sassy salad. Which was brought out with the cornbread muffin and corn chips on top. Basically bagged lettuce,cabbage,carrots with some brisket on top. No dressing! Won't be coming back!
3276 Northwest Plaza Road, Silverdale, WA 98383
Worst bbq choice if you have celiac. don't go.
1320 Village W Pkwy, Kansas City, KS 66111
This place has GREAT Ribs...order them without sauce and they're gluten free and amazing! Kids basket has ribs and corn on the cob. Vanilla bean ice cream for dessert!
815 Browning St, Redding, CA 96003
I would give this 0 stars if I could. They have a very complicated allergen list that I ordered from... Only to have the manager come and tell me what I ordered WASNT gluten free. The allergen list they have is WAY outdated apparently. I asked them several times to not give this menu to future diners.
2945 S Rochester Rd, Rochester Hills, MI 48307
No actual GF menu and the staff was clueless. I ended up with nothing to eat!
2945 S Rochester Rd, Rochester Hills, MI 48307
I spoke with Jay (the manager) and he was very nice. The items that are GF are: BBQ or Roasted Chicken, the Rich and Sassy sauce, coleslaw, broccoli, mashed potatoes, and potato salad.
9911 NE Cascades Pkwy, Portland, OR 97220
Great chicken breast with choice of 4 gf BBQ sauces. Limited gf menu but a few things I really like such as a plain huge baked potato with butter - they have additional gf toppings too.
43350 Crescent Blvd, Novi, MI 48375
There are limited gf safe options but the roasted chicken, broccoli, grilled pineapple and mashed potatoes are all delicious. They are very allergy aware and careful. My daughter with tn and fish allergies eats there safely too. The company lists ALL ingredients online.
1603 Morrissey Dr, Bloomington, IL 61704
One person told me they would bring me an allergen menu and then someone else said they don't have one because nothing is really gluten free.
3001 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408
it's a joke, hand you a huge binder showing ingredients of each menu item... even the items listed as wheat free are sure to be cooked on the same surfaces
2945 S Rochester Rd, Rochester Hills, MI 48307
I spoke with kitchen manager because I'm celiac. They use gluten in there rubs! Some sauces are not GF. They do not have a gluten-free designated fryer.
3001 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408
My daughter had a cheeseburger without the bun and raw carrots and celery. I thought that would be safe but she's sick today..
3001 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408
Manager was very nice.. Told me nothing is safe on the menu for celiacs. Only option is to get chicken and peel the skin off which is obviously not safe either.
3001 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408
Not GF!!! They only have a wheat free menu and a lot of their sauces contain barley malt flour!
2910 Chain Bridge Rd, Oakton, VA 22124
They used to have a gluten free menu, but not anymore. Manager was actually rude when we asked.
435 Broadway, Wisconsin Dells, WI 53965
Had a great experience at Famous Dave's in Wisconsin Dells! We had the BBQ Chicken with the garlic mashes potatoes, broccoli, and corn on the cob, and there were no leftovers!It would be great if their beans were GF, but we found enough to make a delicious meal and even the kids were happy :)
3276 Northwest Plaza Road, Silverdale, WA 98383
When I called they said there's no completely gluten free food that isn't crossed with wheat/gluten. So if you have celiac disease or a high intolerance don't bother. Very disappointed.
20600 Seneca Meadows Pkwy, Germantown, MD 20876
Closed down No longer at this location
15725 E Briarwood Cir, Aurora, CO 80016
There's not much on their menu that is GF, but I had an excellent wait staff that really took the time to help me. He let me know I had two options for a meat (roasted chicken and mild sauce wings). The wings were great paired with fries and garden/side salad minus the croutons. Ranch or blue cheese is the only dressing options, but both go great with wings. I've gotten sick at other restaurants that have GF menus and was a bit unsure. It's been 4 hours since my meal and no ill effects (and my reaction is quite bad and usually happens in the first 30 minutes of eating). So, if you like tender flavorful wings I highly recommend this option. Even thou I was limited it was so uplifting to have someone take the time to care about another's dining experience 😃
3276 Northwest Plaza Road, Silverdale, WA 98383
Stated they have NO gluten free food
3276 Northwest Plaza Road, Silverdale, WA 98383
The manager told us that wheat is present in about everything in order to keep them "hot". For the record, my wife has celiac while I'm sensitive.
1603 Morrissey Dr, Bloomington, IL 61704
two dinner options. char grilled chicken or lemon pepper chicken. couldn't believe how small the menu was.
1603 Morrissey Dr, Bloomington, IL 61704
Great gluten free option we go there at least once a week
2910 Chain Bridge Rd, Oakton, VA 22124
Actively hostile to gluten free requirements
245 Houston Circle, Idaho Falls, ID 83402
Untrained and removed their gluten free menu because they couldn't guarantee anything was safe.
3001 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408
Dismal GF menu--in fact, what they refer to as a GF menu is only a wheat-free menu. And wheat is in just about everything there. The fact that they don't know the difference between wheat & gluten is sort of terrifying, and renders it not an option for celiacs at all.
245 Houston Circle, Idaho Falls, ID 83402
no gluten free menu. waitress not willing to help find something gluten free.
20600 Seneca Meadows Pkwy, Germantown, MD 20876
Famous Dave's has a GF menu listed below but also states they can not completely prevent cross contamination.

wide variety, does catering. Memphis ribs and BBQ chicken were delicious
2945 S Rochester Rd, Rochester Hills, MI 48307
BBQ chicken on the bone only. It is not on the menu but have been ordering a plain grilled chicken breast. Most sauces are gf. Good coleslaw. Several other sides are gf as well. Fries are supposedly gf but I am guessing they do not fry in a separate fryer. I did not ask.
3276 Northwest Plaza Road, Silverdale, WA 98383
The waiting staff was friendly and knowledgeable about my gluten sensitivity. She was also honest about the possibility that not all items on the menu may be gluten free. I had down loaded Famous Dave's allergies list and she suggested that would be the best bet to order from. I am very pleased with this restaurant. Well done Famous Dave's in Silverdale Washington State!
7777 Rosedale Highway, Bakersfield, CA 93308
No longer have gluten free options. I got the appetizer nachos, dry meat and no BBQ sauce on nachos. We shall see if I get sick. I am only intolerant, not celiac.
7777 Rosedale Highway, Bakersfield, CA 93308
They do not have gluten free bbg sauce nor a gluten free menu what do people put these in an app whwn its lies
303 Vista Village Dr, Vista Village, Vista, CA 92083
Worst GF experience ever. No GF menu. Refused to give ingredient info. Refused to modify an order (served brisket on bread and cornbread as a side even after being told of allergy and request for no bread).
14601 Minnesota 7, Minnetonka, MN 55345
They dropped their gluten free menu. Cross it off the list.
7777 Rosedale Highway, Bakersfield, CA 93308
they have gluten free bbq sauce and you can order most their meat dishes and I think their cagun catfish is safe too.
11741 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS 66210
Not Gluten Free!
2340 U.S. 93, Kalispell, Mt 59901
Casual restaurant w good food. Has a GF menu.
11741 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS 66210
Delicious barbeque. Great staff!

Gluten Sensitivity menu available. Waitress was incredibly nice and helpful in ordering.
245 Houston Circle, Idaho Falls, ID 83402
Overall staff tried to help the best they could. When the waitresses were also a celiac it was a better visit.

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. - These days, the latest buzz word in nutrition seems to be superfoods. But what exactly are they? And how can they impact your health?
"You'll notice a difference in your skin, you'll notice a difference certainly in how you feel, your energy level will increase dramatically," says Rik Napoleon, the owner of the Wheat Berry Cafe in Altamonte Springs. His business is a one-stop shop for raw, organic living.
"Superfoods are packed solid, densely full of nutrients," says Napoleon. "They're giving you things that you can't get elsewhere."
But Napoleon says there are misconceptions about what superfoods really are.
Take blueberries. You've probably heard that they're loaded with antioxidants, which can lower your risk of cancer. But stack them up against the superfoods, raw cacao, or raw chocolate, and Napoleon says there's no comparison.
"There's 100 times more antioxidants in raw chocolate than there is in a blueberry," says Napoleon. "You can buy raw chocolate in a paste form, you can buy it in a butter form, you can buy it in the bean itself, and then you can do it in a powdered form."
While you're there, you might also want to check out another powder -- blue green algae.
"They grow in the ocean, in the saltwater, they grow in freshwater," says Napoleon.
He adds that when you put blue green algae up against a healthy vegetable like spinach, this one isn't even close.
"It has 70 times the amount of chlorophyll than spinach would," says Napoleon. That means more energy.
Napoleon also says that when you hit a wall late in the day, skip the coffee and instead go for the superfood, maca root -- also available in a powdered form.
"Good for your working out, after workouts, before workouts, just to increase your energy level throughout the day," says Napoleon.
He also recommends a handful of goji berries every day. They look like dried cranberries, and can improve your mood and brain power.
All of the superfoods are available at places like Whole Foods, GNC, even Walmart.
"They're so dense in nutrition that it's requiring a teaspoon, a tablespoon of this, a teaspoon of that, a quarter cup of this, and it's all you need," says Napoleon. That's why he doesn't want you to be turned off if the price of superfoods is a little higher than what you normally pay for food.
In the end, these things last a lot longer, so the cost evens out.
As for the easiest way to get superfoods into your diet -- Napoleon says you should make a smoothie with those powders before you head to work.

Why Fight It?
Even if you have been respectful of the market downtrend, the selling is not moving to the point where it is becoming downright disgusted. Once again, we had a slightly positive open that provided false hope for the bulls, and then it was just a steady stream of selling all day. We couldn't even manage a decent intraday bounce. The selling became even worse following the president's press conference.
Unfortunately, there isn't any positive news that can be used as an excuse for buying. The fiscal cliff is far from any resolution, the issues in Europe continue to worsen and hopes aren't very high for the next quarter after a lousy earnings season. Even the Fed has been rendered impotent now that it has used up its QE bullets....200 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

LOS ANGELES -- A small plane that flew out of Gnoss Field in Novato made a rough emergency landing on the campus of Cal State University Northridge Sunday afternoon, coming to a rest upside down but resulting in only minor injures, authorities said.
A man and woman inside the plane were able to open the door and climb out of the damaged plane after the landing, which was reported just after 3 p.m. at the university, according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.
No injuries on the ground were reported.
Authorities have not released the names of the pilot and the passenger.
The Cessna 206 is registered to a Newport Beach business called Clipper 29 Uniform LLC. It initially appeared the pilot of the six-seat, single-engine airplane attempted to make an emergency landing on the campus' athletic field, but overshot it, Humphrey said.
The plane crashed through a chain-link fence and ended up overturned just southwest of the intersection of Plummer Street and Zelzah Avenue, at the eastern edge of the campus, across the street from an apartment complex and homes.
No buildings or students at the campus were endangered by the incident, he added.
The plane, a Cessna 206, departed from Novato for John Wayne Airport.
It lost power near Van Nuys Airport and made a forced landing at Plummer and Zelzah, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said.
In addition to the FAA, the National Transportation Safety Board was expected to look into the crash, officials said.

|Study Start Date:
|September 2003
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2006
In Latin American countries certain procedures commonly used in obstetrical care (e.g. episiotomy) have been shown to be ineffective or harmful. This study hypothesizes that obstetrical procedures can be changed and new guidelines implemented via peer opinion leader training. It tests an intervention designed to motivate and facilitate health care professionals' development through the implementation and maintenance of simple evidence-based guidelines to increase the use of evidence-based practices by birth attendants at the hospital level in Argentina and Uruguay. The primary outcomes are the use of episiotomies and of oxytocin during the third stage of labor; secondary outcomes include perineal sutures; postpartum hemorrhages; birth attendants' readiness to change status. The sample size was based upon a 10% frequency of oxytocin use and 20% use of episiotomies in the control group. The study hypothesizes a 40% absolute increase in oxytocin use in the intervention group; a 20% absolute reduction in use of episiotomies in the intervention group, calculated at a 0.05 significance level with 80% power.
Following baseline data collections in 24 hospitals, 19 hospitals met inclusion criteria in three urban districts of Argentina and Uruguay and were randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. Baseline data collection has been completed with a total of 6597 single vaginal spontaneous births. The 19 hospitals met inclusion criteria with a rate of active management of third stage of labor under 25% and an episiotomy rate in spontaneous vaginal deliveries above 20%. Opinion leaders in the intervention hospitals have been identified and trained to develop evidence-based guidelines that will be diffused by a multifaceted approach including seminars, academic detailing, reminders, and feedback on utilization rates. The hospitals in the nonintervention group will continue with their standard in-service training activities.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|Child, Adult, Senior
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria for Hospitals
Hospitals were invited to participate in the study if they fulfill the following criteria:
- have an Institutional Review Board (IRB), or existing committee which could serve as such, or have an agreement with an IRB which reviews the research protocols implemented in the hospital;
- have at least 500 vaginal deliveries per year;
- do not have an explicit policy for selective episiotomy and for active management of third stage of labor;
- are located within the study area in Argentina and Uruguay; and
- agree to participate in the study.
Exclusion Criteria for Hospitals
Preselected hospitals are performing baseline data collection. According to the results of the analysis of the baseline data collection, hospitals will be excluded if the episiotomy rate is low or the rate of active management of the third stage of labor is high, according to the following cut-off points:
- Episiotomy rate in spontaneous vaginal deliveries below 20%
- Rate of active management of third stage of labor over 25%
The sample size of the study was increased to allow for exclusions.
Expectant management is defined as "a hands-free policy" during third stage of labor until the placenta is expelled: no use of uterotonics or special maneuvers.
Sampling, Recruitment, and Screening Procedures
Latin American Center for Perinatology (CLAP) coordination team will be responsible for the hospital selection. The hospitals' fulfillment of selection criteria will be obtained through a survey of the Heads of the Obstetrical Departments.
Besides the selection criteria, the coordination unit will invite the hospitals to participate according to:
- their participation in previous trials coordinated by CLAP,
- their participation in other trials or research activities, and
- their location.
Of particular interest are the characteristics of each preselected hospital regarding the structure of the professional staff, number of deliveries, and clinical guidelines policy.

Walmart continues its superhero streak and courting comic book fans onto its website via social media — this time the superhero in question is Marvel's billionaire badboy and Iron Man alter ego Tony Stark.
The discount retailer posted a photo of Iron Man 3 to its Facebook page Monday, April 29, emblazoned with a burst bearing the Walmart logo and urging fans to 'Preorder Now,' even though the film did not release in theaters until Friday, May 3.
This is yet another way that Walmart is leveraging social media to entice shoppers to commit to purchasing products on its website that haven't even come out yet, and won't for a long time yet. It's certainly getting the jump on sites such as Amazon, which offers not only new releases but also pre-DVD releases via its Instant Video service.
Walmart's been getting its comic book groove on recently. Just a few weeks ago, the retailer announced it was teaming up with Warner Bros. to offer tickets for the exclusive screening of "Man of Steel." Tickets go on sale in more than 3,700 Walmart stores starting at 8 a.m. Saturday, May 18. The advance screening will take place in selected local theaters nationwide at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 13.

FOUR Pershore youngsters represented Worcestershire in the 11 and under age group at the Inter-County Invitation Gala in Stoke.
Against five other counties, who included several national and district swimmers, Simon Sweatman was second in the boys' 50-metre freestyle in 29.76 seconds.
Sweatman was just beaten into fourth in the 50m butterfly in 33.19, which was a personal best.
William Gearey was second in the 50m backstroke in 35.48 (pb) and third in the 50m breaststroke in 41.83 (pb).
Isabella Woodcock claimed fourth in the girls' 50m breaststroke in 41.12 and swam a strong breaststroke leg in the 4x50m medley.
Sweatman and Gearey were joined by Pershore club-mate Chris Vizard, who produced a new pb in the boys' 4x50m medley relay with a breaststroke leg of 41.55 to help Worcester county to fourth.
Sweatman and Gearey also swam the first two legs in the 8x50m cannon relay with Worcestershire just beaten into third.
Pershore head coach Tom Naughton said: "It's a real achievement for a small club like Pershore to get four swimmers called up to compete for Worcester county.
"The standard of competition was extremely high and all the swimmers performed exceptionally well."
Pershore handed competitive debuts to several youngsters at the John Neale Trophy Gala in Redditch with the team grabbing plenty of podiums and 25 pbs.
The final score saw Kingsbury win the trophy with 216 points, ahead of Redditch (185), Orion (169), Pershore (156), Bromsgrove (119) and Blythe (115).
Sam Brearley secured Pershore's first points with fourth in the boys' 10 and under 50m freestyle and Georgia Winkley was second in the girls' nine years 25m breaststroke,
Robert Thorner was fourth in the boys' 25m breaststroke.
Pershore grabbed maximum points with wins in the girls' and boys' 11 and under 4x25m medley relays through Olivia Howard, Rebecca Phillips, Holly Winkley and Alexandra Barry and Ronan Williams, Hamish Cross, Patrick Heeks and Owen Kirby.
Howard was third in the girls' 12 and under 50m backstroke as was Sophie Thomas in the 10 and under 50m breaststroke and backstroke.
Cameron Leach won the boys' 10 and under 50m breaststroke and was second in the 25m butterfly, while sister Helena was fourth in the girls' 12 and under 50m butterfly.
The 11 and under girl and boy relays teams were both second in the 4 x 25m freestyle through Imogen Harper, Barry, Howard and Winkley and Kirby, Cross, Williams and Heeks.
Barry finished second in the girls' 11 and under 50m backstroke and the fast-improving Williams won the boys' 11 and under equivalent.
The girls' nine years 4x25m freestyle team of Holly Styler, Thomas, Holly Wylde and Eleanor Christodoulou were second, while the boys, comprising Oliver Wycher, Oliver Smith, Brearley and Leach, were edged into fourth.
Holly Winkley came third in the girls' 11 and under 50m butterfly with younger sister Georgia fourth in the nine years 25m butterfly and Thorner fourth in the boys' nine years 25m butterfly.
William Clarke won the boys' 12 and under 50m freestyle and then teamed up with James Thomas, Josh Sharratt and Chris Vizard to claim the same age group's 4x25m freestyle relay.
Lewis Cribbins was second in the boys' nine years 25m freestyle as was Amy Cross in the girls' equivalent.
Hamish Cross claimed third in the boys' 11 and under 50m breaststroke and Rebecca Phillips went one better with silver for the girls.
James Heeks claimed silver in the boys' nine years 25m backstroke and Holly Wylde was fifth in the girls' 10 and under 25m butterfly.
There were also good performances from Jasmine Hoskins, Gabriella Barry and Nera Orthick.
Naughton said: "We were unlucky not to have finished second, especially as several of our swimmers picked up speeding tickets for being too fast. It was another determined performance from a young team."

Still ill, Panda rests along with Belt for finale
SAN FRANCISCO -- Ill Giants slugger Pablo Sandoval was out of Wednesday's lineup, as manager Bruce Bochy wanted to give the flu-stricken third baseman extra time to recover.
Since Thursday is a scheduled off-day for the Giants, Bochy figured that a two-day rest would benefit Sandoval, who won Tuesday night's game against the Nationals with a two-run, 10th-inning homer. Joaquin Arias started at third base and hit sixth in place of Sandoval.
"Hopefully, when we come back Friday, he'll be over this 'crud' he caught and be back to full strength," Bochy said.
A combination of circumstances accounted for first baseman Brandon Belt's absence from the lineup. Playing the percentages, Bochy started right-handed-hitting Brett Pill at first base to face Washington left-hander Gio Gonzalez. Moreover, Belt was bothered slightly by back tightness in Tuesday night's 4-2 win.
Bochy said that both Sandoval and Belt are available to come off the bench for pinch-hitting or late-substitution purposes.

Matt Carpenter is a third baseman by trade, but the St. Louis Cardinals already have a pretty good player at the hot corner in All-Star David Freese.
As a result, Carpenter, 27, was a super sub in 2012, appearing at five positions while putting up nice batting numbers (.294/.365/.463, five home runs in 340 plate appearances). He spent a lot of time at first base (44 games) and the outfield (21 games), but playing time at those positions figures to be limited in 2013 as well.
So the Cardinals gave Carpenter an offseason homework assignment: Learn to play second base. So far, he has taken to the task with gusto, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
"Obviously I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said I didn't want to be out there every day," Carpenter told the newspaper. "The reality of that at the positions I really play isn't very good. If I'm going to be a guy who plays every day, it's going to be second base, not third or in left field or right.
"I want to win that job. And worst case, if I can only be adequate (at second base), I could still get a few extra games out there and instead of 300 at-bats, I'll get 400 at-bats."
Carpenter has spent the offseason reviewing video, getting help from his father, a high school baseball coach, and trying to improve his foot speed and agility by jumping rope and doing other exercises. He has been taking grounders and turning double plays at second base at least five days a week for more than a month.
Manager Mike Matheny describes Carpenter as an "offensive spark" — in addition to his regular season numbers, he hit a key home run in Game 3 of the NL Championship vs. the San Francisco Giants — and is eager to get him at-bats in 2013. That's why he suggested Carpenter spend time learning the nuances of second base.
"There were quite a few times that we were looking for ways to get him into the lineup," Matheny said. "He was a catalyst for us. His versatility would give us a lot of options."
Carpenter never played second base in more than 300 minor league games, but he did log 18 innings over five games at the position for the Cards in 2012.

Biden Makes Last Minute Ohio Stop
Vice President Joe Biden is making an unannounced stop in Cleveland.
Biden voted Tuesday morning in his home state of Delaware and then boarded a plane for Chicago, where he's joining President Barack Obama to await the election returns.
An hour after takeoff, the small group of reporters traveling with the vice president alerted the rest of the news media that Biden had landed in the Ohio city just before noon.
The stop was described as long-scheduled but unannounced.
Republican candidates Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan also had scheduled Election Day stops in Cleveland at about the same time.
Ohio has become a central battleground in the presidential race.

Intra-coronary Infusion of Bone Marrow Derived Autologous CD34+ Selected Cells in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMR-1)
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Following a Heart attack the acute loss of heart muscle cells results in a cascade of events causing an immediate decrease in cardiac function that has the potential to persist long term. Despite revascularization of the infarct related artery circulation and appropriate medical management to minimize the stresses on the heart walls, a significant percentage of patients experience permanent cardiac dysfunction and consequently remain at an increased life-time risk of experiencing adverse cardiac events, including death.
There is a great potential for stem cell therapy, using a variety of cell precursors (particularly hematopoietic,)to contribute to new blood vessel formation (and possibly limited heart muscle formation) and muscle preservation in the myocardial infarct zone. The administration of cells via an infusion through the infarct related artery appears to be feasible and result in a clinical effect in some studies.
Therefore, we propose to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a CD34+ selected stem cell product (AMR-001), administered through the infarct related coronary artery 6 to 9 days after successful infarct related artery stent placement.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the feasibility and safety of prospectively identifying patients at risk for clinically significant cardiac dysfunction following a myocardial infarction and the ability to isolate and infuse via the affected coronary circulation an autologous bone marrow derived CD34+ cell product at four dose levels.
The secondary objective of the study is to assess the effect on cardiac function and infarct region perfusion. A concurrent patient group meeting eligibility but not receiving CD34+ cells will be evaluated similar to the treated group to assess the rate of significant spontaneous improvement in cardiac function without CD34+cell infusion.

SBC President Fred Luter Speaks at WCU
Hattiesburg, Miss., February 27, 2013 -
Dr. Fred Luter, Jr., president of the Southern Baptist Convention, spoke at William Carey University's chapel service in Smith Auditorium on February 27. A reception followed in the Lucile Parker Gallery.
Rev. Luter spoke with passion about the importance of renewing one's mind so that they can stand strong against temptations, make wise decisions, and always remember what Christ did for them on the cross.
He was elected as the Southern Baptist Convention's first African-American vice president in 2011, and he made history again when he became SBC's first African- American president in 2012. In addition to his duties as SBC president, Luter serves as senior pastor of 7000-member Franklin Avenue Baptist Church (FABC) in his hometown, New Orleans, La. Rev. Luter gave his life to the Lord in 1977 after a serious motorcycle accident made him realize he wanted to go into ministry. Every Saturday at noon he preached to anyone who would listen on the corner of Galvez and Caffin Avenue until he was invited to preach his first church sermon in 1983 at the Law Street Baptist Church. Soon after he was preaching regularly at Greater Liberty Baptist Church.
Rev. Luter became pastor of Franklin Avenue in 1986, and by 1989, he had grown his church from 65 to over 300 members. After Hurricane Katrina destroyed the church in 2005, Rev. Luter set up branches of FABC in Baton Rouge, La., and Houston, Texas, where some of his congregation relocated. For the three years following Katrina, Rev. Luter simultaneously rebuilt the New Orleans church. In 2008, he joyfully welcomed his members back to their newly built sanctuary.
Rev. Luter and his wife Elizabeth have been married for 32 years and have two children: a son, Chip, and a daughter, Kimberly.
