-- Hello welcome to -- -- and got demanding according to the CDC about one in 88 children have been identified.
With autism spectrum disorder he used to be one in a 150 so what's going on.
Doctor Robert and a little co-founder of the brain balance centers is here today to talk about.
The science behind autism and answer a lot of the questions Paris may have.
Thank you for coming dot com thank you I know -- we have met before we have talked about -- does because I have an autistic child so this is a topic.
That always on their interest it.
And but are the numbers accurate is it 1000088.
Children that we -- seeing nowadays.
It's probably more than that I think that the the numbers are accurate and that's where things I explored the book right of the bad all we in fact facing an epidemic and where things are really looked dead in the book.
Was all the different sides about whether it is an epidemic or is -- bottom line is it is it's an epidemic at this point.
And we're seeing significant increase which means that the only -- and explained it is really through environmental factors that there's no such thing as genetic epidemic it takes a lot longer.
For genes that cause this type of -- So we have had many offers before.
-- because we still don't know.
That what the bullet is that is causing all of these autistic children to develop these symptoms but.
You mentioned environmental pollutants and things of this sort.
And I have had here -- -- that talk about genetic predisposition.
Right but do you believe sometimes it's just like a perfect storm into the -- exposure to some of these pollutants.
-- conjunction with vulnerable children that are -- genetically determined.
Absolutely and I -- that all in the book where I talk about all the different genetic predisposition is that -- -- familiar with.
But also all the different environmental factors but actually what we're finding is that.
The most common environmental factors and that increase risk of having a child launches are really lifestyle factors like diet and exercise and inflammation in your body let let me ask you a quick question because a recent study came -- a couple of weeks ago that said.
That there was a subgroup of autistic children that are able to Al -- -- symptoms as they get older -- do you think that's true all absolutely we have centers -- brain balance center is where we work with children with all different types of disabilities.
And we see many of these children recover completely.
By objective measurement -- it what this really shows is that if he can get children that can recover from it.
Then he can't be -- genetic mutation it has to be something environmental that.
We can actually not only work with the child.
But more importantly.
If it's an environmental base problem it can be prevented and that's the idea the -- commercial about a little bit of prevention because I think a lot of especially pregnant patients and nowadays and one of the first questions they asked me is about.
You know how to what how can I prevent autism.
From your point of -- in this research that you have done.
What are some of preventable things parents can do well in the book unidentified over forty known risk factors well documented risk factors.
That will increase the risk of -- of -- mother or father of having a child with autism so.
One of the things that we've looked that is things like -- that are nutritionally with this prenatal vitamins taking prenatal vitamins 392 months before.
And for the first month of pregnancy lowers the risk of having a child with autism like 60%.
We know that if you have obesity.
Diabetes or hypertension -- one of those each wind increase your -- 60%.
Of having a child with autism -- 150%.
For -- disability.
So there are many different things that we can do as well as looking at the fact that there imbalances in the brain and in the nervous system.
That actually can also contribute to this.
All right one of the controversy is always that comes up with -- -- -- his.
Who should be making the diagnosis.
And who should be treating the child and went.
So let's talk about who should be making the diagnosis of what the in the of the autistic spectrum disorders.
Well you know I think that the the final diagnosis should be somebody really who specialize in -- whether it's a developmental pediatrician or pediatric neurologist or psychiatrists.
But the only things I'm more concerned with is not actually just making a label but what's happening in the brain.
You know we do research we have a lab called the F -- -- research institute that we've been studying this and and I think we have -- in the foremost of understanding research wise it is an imbalance in the brain.
That actually causes autism that is what autism is an imbalance in the brain.
And understanding that there are different degrees of -- is not just about the label to better understand what's actually happening in the brain and and one shoot let's say understand the imbalance what is the best treatment according to U.
Once you understand what the imbalances -- children with autism and AD -- -- the right hemisphere delay.
Along with children that are exceptional with their left Wayne's skills.
So we look at any child is different they have a different makeup of strengths and weaknesses in this is why.
These children with autism often have these and even this of skills where they -- these incredible left -- memory skills were musical skills.
But it -- very poor social skills are non verbal communication.
So we -- identify where they have weaknesses where they have delays in these can be measured.
And then we exercise and stimulate that in a program this will we do and I'll bring balance centers across the country tell me about and myth that you think a lot of people me.
Have when it comes to this disorder.
I think there's two major -- one is that it's -- genetic mutation.
And that there is nothing he can do about it.
And the other is that you know these children.
You know -- never -- -- better that they can't be helped I think those are two huge myths.
That we we -- -- is unproven and I think the other myth is that people don't.
Were believed that it could be prevented that you can identify people that are at risk.
For having children were locked as we can -- those risks.
And we can eliminate those risks.
You know objectively what are you see the future of this disorder -- going.
I think the future is gonna go towards prevention I think it has to be.
I think it's gonna go towards really under I understanding what's happening and understanding how the brain regulates the body you know people realize that the brain regulates.
Your immune system to digest this system most food sensitivities analogies and immune problems that people have.
Really start in the brain and I think all of this is gonna go towards understanding the brain.
Had the brain affects the body.
How this can affect.
Somebody before you know before they're actually having a child and this is how this is actually affecting the child itself -- right last question -- -- folks get more information.
If they oranges didn't finding out how to prevent.
Or reduce their -- they noted doctor Robert below dot com that's my website if they want to know about dealing with a child battery has a disability.
They can -- -- bringing balance centers dot com all right well thank you so much.
And remember the -- autism by doctor Robert -- low.
And is the scientific truth about preventing diagnosing and treating.
The autism spectrum thank you so much for being here if you -- maybe have a new health questions you can email me here at fox -- document -- -- dot com thanks for watching for Fox News.

Villa Park trustee Taglia charged with disorderly conduct after dispute with neighbor
VILLA PARK – Trustee Robert Taglia, who was re-elected to a second, four-year term in April, was charged with disorderly conduct on Monday after a neighbor decided to file a complaint for an incident that happend during the evening of Sept. 6, according to police.
Taglia, 41, of the 100 block of North Wisconsin Avenue was charged with one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct after allegedly shouting at his neighbor after her son hit his son with a plastic baseball bat.
According to police, Taglia's 4-year-old son was playing with neighbor children when a 10-year-old boy who lives across the street hit him with the toy bat. Taglia confronted the boy's mother who alleges in the police report that he pounded on the front door, yelled at her, pointed his finger inches from her face and referred to the woman and her family as "you people," which the victim told police she believes was racially motivated because they are Hispanic.

It helps kill the germs and contaminants that are trapped within. They are positioned such that they can trap the dust mites and pollutants before it reaches the motor and the exhaust. There are various kinds of filters available including the ultra fine air filter and some vacuum cleaning systems even use water as a filter. Water filtration helps trap wet dust that is not airborne. Having a fully functional vacuum filter is critical to maintain the suction and dirt handling ability of the vacuum cleaner. You are not just saving yourself from the harmful effects of these dust particles but also saving the critical parts of the vacuum cleaning system from failure. We recommend you change vacuum filters regularly, once in six months atleast.

Long Tall Deb debut on WEMU
Long Tall Marcia Ball is beloved in the blues world and by WEMU listeners, so when we received a new disc by newcomer Long Tall Deb, we had to see if she could live up the name like Ms. Ball. Long Tall Deb Landolt is worthy of the name and our attention.
While Marcia Ball makes her home base in Austin, Deb Landolt is transplanted Texan now living in Columbus, Ohio, but her Texas twang and blues swagger remain intact. With great guitar licks from Columbus' Sean Carney and guest appearances by Jimmy Thackery, Reese Wynans and the Roomful Of Blues horn players it's a fairly sure thing that this disc would work for WEMU and it does. We premiered two of Long Tall Deb's original tunes on International Women's Day and mixed it in with Friday's requests for beautiful blues women during 89.1 Jazz.

Apparently if you live on the East Coast this 2012 Super Bowl is a HUGE deal. Maybe even if you don't live there, but enjoy the American football. I don't know about all that, but I do know how to make some amazoids Super Bowl snacks that are also gluten-free. Your celiac friends who also enjoy that kind of thing, will totally thank you, and nobody else has to know your little wheat-free secret.
Frankly, it's not that difficult for an appetizer-loving, fried food, dipping sauce eating, kind of gal to pull together a gluten-free menu for a sports event. In fact, I call this menu "Gluten-free Sunday afternoon at home with the family." That's how much fun we are over here.
So pull out your deep fryer, and strap on your feedbag! This is how you go gluten-free while enjoying the Giants beating the crap out of the Patriots. (So I lived in New York for a long time, I can't help but take a side here. Even though I really, really, really, don't care. Really.) Go, Giants! (No, really.)

"It may not happen when you want it to, but it'll be right on time."
I remember watching a documentary where a grizzled blues musician sipped flat beer and coughed up those little pearls of wisdom during the course of an interview. Not sure if it's a lyric from an old song, or a dated Mississippi Delta self-help mantra (a way to keep yourself sane when you were getting paid $4 for a seven-hour set in some smoke-filled blues bar in the middle of nowheresville); but the expression struck a chord with me then, and now, now that the new Strat-O-Matic web site and Negro league All-Star set is available.
It's been a long time coming, buddy, but it's right on time.
As a long-time fan of Strat-O, I'm excited about the new web site. Slick, intuitive; it's a fantastic jumping-off point for the future of a great little company and their innovative selection of games. Like the new Yankee Stadium, Strat-O-Matic's new online home was long overdue. A franchise such as Hal Richman's deserves only the best and this bodes well for those of us who care about the game.
As has been repeated enough over the past year, to the point where its become nauseous (sorry about that, guys), I've spent the past several years working as a consultant to the Strat-O-Matic game company, focusing on their Negro League All-Star set. The opportunity is really the product of happenstance, lucky timing on my part.
The Negro League set couldn't have been produced 30 years ago, as our knowledge of blackball then was mired in what fellow baseball researcher Gary Ashwill has called the "hazy netherworld of unverifiable myth, tall tales, gut feelings and subjective judgments." Truth is the set couldn't have been produced ten years ago, let alone thirty. The data, or more accurately, the access to raw data in the form of box scores, was still outside our grasp. The timing wasn't right.
So why now? How's the research game changed over the past ten years? What's different? As my involvement with the project winds down, I've given this question a little thought. I've settled on what I believe there are five key elements at play here, things which have coalesced in recent years and made the set a reality. In list form, they are:
- HISTORICAL FOUNDATION. We have forty years of Negro league research upon which to build. During the research phase, I must have consulted close to 100 books about the black leagues and/or its players, teams and ballparks during the past several years, all of which have had an impact one way or another on the set. But out of this small library, there are really six author/researchers without whom I couldn't have survived. They are Robert Peterson, John Holway, James A. Riley, Dick Clark, Larry Lester and Phil Dixon. Four books in particular; Only The Ball Was White (Peterson), The Complete Book of the Baseball's Negro Leagues (Holway), The Biographical Encyclopedia of the Negro Baseball Leagues (Riley), and The Negro Leagues Book (Clark and Lester), are really the walls of support in the foundation of blackball knowledge. These four volumes; with their rosters, biographical info, statistical data and oral history provide the road map which all subsequent baseball historians can follow. These authors (and the anonymous people who have helped them behind the scenes), have produced work representing what must exceed 100 combined years of indispensable research.
- BILL JAMES. Yeah, I know, I know; he has an excellent chapter on black baseball in The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract, but blackball (by his own admission) isn't his strongest suit. Yet it's the other stuff, the sabermetric gadgets: ballpark effects, MLEs and league context issues, which are invaluable for creating a realistic baseball simulation.
- WINDOWS, INTERNET and EXCEL. I don't want to insult anybody's intelligence by trying to explain why these things are crucial. I was a member of the last group at my high school to take a typing class (on a genuine, good old-fashioned typewriter). We spent a few weeks studying the dewey decimal system. We had to learn how to track down specific magazine articles using a gigantic Hogwart's-like book of tiny font citations, then, if we were lucky enough to discover an abstract which may (or may not) be of value, we'd check our Library Catalog to see if they actually carried the specific magazine we needed. They never did, so we'd return to the thick book and start over. Certain aspects of the old days sucked.
- NEWSPAPER DIGITIZATION. Last night, in the span of only an hour or two, I uncovered 15 or 20 new historical box scores I'd never seen before. These are Negro league teams versus white semi-pro outfits, part of a new "mad scientist" project I'm working on. The point is, every single day literally thousands of scanned newspaper images become available on the web, through a variety of different sources. When I started the Strat project (before it was actually the Strat-O-Matic project), I needed to use the old-fashioned microfilm editions of the Pittsburgh Courier (and other papers) to get those Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords box scores, which required, um, leaving the house and going to a library. Sitting in front of a machine and paying for photocopies. Near the end of the research phase for the game, I finally got access to the Courier in digital format, which allowed me to back track and double check things with ridiculous speed. Because of the internet and digitization, we can do things in five months which previously took five or ten years. By the end of next year, we'll be able to gather information in five days which might have taken five or ten years to compile in the past. It's a great time to be a researcher.
- CULTURE SHIFT. The country is simply a much different place than it was back in 1970, when Peterson first released his watershed book on black baseball. If anything, it's a much more inclusive place. The Negro league legacy (warts and all), has been embraced by the Major Leagues and dozens of veterans from the black leagues have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. In his Afterword to the 25th Anniversary Edition of Baseball's Great Experiment, author Jules Tygiel writes "Ironically, Americans, black and white, seem more aware of the Negro Leagues than they did in their heyday."
Well, it's about time. I hope you enjoy the game.
QUICK TIP FOR PEOPLE NEW TO STRAT-O-MATIC: I suggest beginning with the board game to get a feel for the game engine before graduating up to the computer version. Remember- You'll need to get the game parts with the Negro League card set. After putting the Negro League set in your shopping cart, you'll have to go under the Baseball Board Game section and look under "Individual Game Parts." Under this section, scroll down to the product called "Baseball Game Setup." For just $16, this has all the charts, dice, etc. that you'll need to play the game.
By the way, if you have the coin, I'd strongly suggest getting the Hall of Fame/Negro League combo card set. For just $69.95, you'll have all the greats, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb…and Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige and Cool Papa Bell.

1. The Lord has revealed the Word of Wisdom to Joseph Smith the Prophet.
If we obey, and follow in faith, beautiful blessings are promised:
2. A clean body, a clear mind, a spirit in tune with the Lord;
These are promised to all who follow the word and will of God.

90s flashback
song of the day
music videos
Little Boots // Every Night I Say a Prayer
"Every Night I Say a Prayer" is the latest single from everyone's favourite nonchalant popstar Little Boots. After releasing "Shake" last year, the small footed singer has released this new song for Record Store Day 2012. There aren't many record shops about anymore, so if anyone knows of any good ones in Belfast let me know.
Enough of my desperation to find a good place to buy music, let's talk about Victoria's new track. With a a slight house bassline, the song starts off cold and pensive, before the 90s house influences really kick in with a bouncy piano melody. Mixing the past with the sophisticated electronica of today, the singer has created a pop song which manages to be both sophisticated and restrained, yet zany with it's big pop chorus.
With enough hooks to reel you in for another listen, "Every Night I Say a Prayer" is better than most of the material on the good, but patchy "Hands". Hopefully this is the last of these low key releases from Ms Hesketh, and we'll get the big Little Boots comeback you all the odd person has been waiting for.

Looking Back at 2012: Dropping 300 Pounds on Design
Designer Yves Bèhar isn't kidding when he says, "Every molecule in the SAYL chair had to work harder." To achieve Bèhar's vision of an eco-dematerialized design, every piece of SAYL was examined, sculpted, and hollowed out to use the least amount of material without compromising strength. Was it successful? Well, SAYL survived having a 300-pound sack dropped on it—multiple times.
The Herman Miller Test Lab, where SAYL was put through its paces, is infamous among our designers. Some have even dubbed it "the place where designs go to die." Weights, pulleys, and pistons test every design to the brink of failure—and beyond—to ensure they meet the requirements of our standard 12-year warranty.
Engineers weren't sure SAYL would make it. It did, thanks to some hard work making every piece work harder.

A young artist struggling with his career and his muse is getting more than a little aggravation from Cupid in this romantic comedy written and directed by Woody Allen. Jerry Falk (Jason Biggs) is a promising 21-year-old comedy writer living in New York City. While Jerry has talent, he's having a hard time getting his career off the ground, which might have something to do with the fact his agent Harvey (Danny DeVito) is a well-meaning, but ineffectual, blowhard, and his mentor David Dobel (Allen) is an increasingly paranoid eccentric whose twin careers as a teacher and standup comic are both floundering. Poised at the top of Jerry's mountain of anxieties is his relationship with his girlfriend Amanda (Christina Ricci); from the first moment he saw her, Jerry has been in love with her, but Amanda's multiple neuroses, fear of commitment, and frustrating intimacy issues make her all but impossible to be around. Jerry is approaching his breaking point when the small flat he shares with Amanda becomes home to a third roommate -- Amanda's mother Paula (Stockard Channing), who has decided to come to New York to chase her dream of becoming a cabaret singer. Anything Else also features supporting performances from Jimmy Fallon, William Hill, and jazz vocalist Diana Krall. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

One of the most financially successful independent films of all time spawns a sequel that at once honors and confronts the pseudo-documentary style of the original in this follow-up to The Blair Witch Project. After The Blair Witch Project becomes a box-office smash, tourists begin to descend upon the small town of Burkittsville, MD, wanting to learn more about the truth and legend of the Blair Witch. Jeff Patterson is a local resident with a checkered past who sees a chance to make some fast money; he inaugurates "The Blair Witch Hunt," offering a tour of the woods where the ill-starred student filmmakers were lost. Four students from Boston sign up for the witch hunt, and end up spending the night camping near the home of notorious child murderer Rustin Parr. The next morning, they discover that they have no memory of a five-hour stretch of the previous night; as the day wears on, they realize they encountered something profoundly evil during their lost night in the woods, which has begun to manifest itself with a vengeance. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 was the first dramatic feature directed by Joe Berlinger, who previously helmed the award-winning documentaries Brother's Keeper and Paradise Lost. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A down-on-his luck auteur gets one more chance at the big time -- provided his neuroses don't swallow him whole -- in Woody Allen's 33rd feature release, Hollywood Ending. Allen plays Val Waxman, a one-time cinematic genius who's resorted to taking advertisement work to pay the bills for himself and his airhead live-in girlfriend, Lori (Debra Messing). Val finds his luck is about to change, however, when he receives the script for
The City Never Sleeps
, a period noir set against the backdrop of 1940s New York City. It seems his ex-wife, Ellie (Tea Leoni), now an executive at Galaxy Pictures, has been pulling for him to direct the picture, claiming he's the only man who can do justice to the script. She even manages to convince her boyfriend, Hal (Treat Williams), Galaxy's high-powered studio head, to take a chance on Val's "unique vision." Just when the cameras are ready to roll, however, Val finds that unique vision in jeopardy -- literally -- as he's struck with a psychosomatic case of blindness. When physicians and psychiatrists fail to cure him, Val contrives a scheme to forge ahead with the picture, for fear of blowing his one last chance at greatness. Hollywood Ending co-stars George Hamilton and Mark Rydell. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

The Darwinian plight of a small Arizona town's youthful but aimless population leads to a series of strange confrontations in Lansdown director Tom Zuber's slacker-themed slice of life. While trim-and-tidy outward appearances give Little Athens the illusion of calm tranquility, a look at the life of the post-high school populace struggling to make ends meet betrays first impressions. Over the course of 24 hours, a revealing look at the population of Little Athens reveals a paranoid EMS worker named Heather (Erica Leerhsen), whose suspicions that her boyfriend is cheating drive her to drastic measures; a debt-ridden pizza delivery buy named Jimmy (John Patrick Amedori), who has turned to dealing drugs as a means of restoring his financial stability; an STD-infested teen whose boyfriend is itching for revenge; and a pair of pool-cleaning roommates (DJ Qualls and Jorge Garcia) whose fledgling business doesn't turn enough coin to cover the rent. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In addition to his love for birds and his uncanny ability to process numbers, Donald does his best to give back to fellow Asperger's sufferers by leading an autism support group. When the lovely but intensely complicated Isabelle (Radha Mitchell) shows up at one of Donald's meetings, the good-natured cabbie finds that love can be as painful as it is elating. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Guardian [TV Series]
Simon Baker stars in this weekly, 60-minute drama series as Nick Fallin, a hotshot attorney working for his father Burton's (Dabney Coleman) prestigious Philadelphia law firm. Arrested for doing cocaine, Nick is sentenced to 1,500 hours of community service. Reluctantly, he signs on as a part-time child advocate for an inner-city Legal Aid Services, all the while handling his usual high-profile clients. Ever so gradually, Nick finds himself caring more about his younger, poorer charges than he does about his wealthier customers -- and in so doing, he becomes the titular "guardian" of this CBS series. Also in the cast are Alan Rosenberg as Nick's skeptical new Legal Aid supervisor Alvin Masterson, Erica Leerhsen as Amanda Bowles, and Raphael Sbarge as Jake Strata. Created by David Hollander, The Guardian was originally set to premiere on September 18, 2001, but late-breaking news events caused the network to move the series up to September 25. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

One of the most infamous horror films of the 1970s is revisited in this remake produced by action-spectacle maven Michael Bay. In the summer of 1973, four teenagers -- Erin (Jessica Biel), Morgan (Jonathan Tucker), Kemper (Eric Balfour), and Andy (Mike Vogel) -- are driving through Texas on a road trip when they pick up a hitchhiker, Pepper (Erica Leerhsen), who is on her way to Mexico to score some dope. With Pepper adding to the party atmosphere, the other four decide to join her, but as they're passing through a small town in Travis County, they see a bloody and distraught girl (Lauren German) wandering by the side of the road, and after stopping to help her, they realize she's been involved in something horribly traumatic. As the kids try to help the girl piece together the story of what happened, they find themselves drawn into the web of a murderous family of subnormal cannibals. Inspired -- like the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, The Silence of the Lambs, and Deranged -- by the crimes of Wisconsin multiple murderer Ed Gein, this remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre also features narration by John Larroquette, who narrated the original film (it was his first screen credit), as well as supporting performances by R.

The malformed mayhem continues as a group of reality game show contestants descend into the West Virginia wilderness in order to participate in an apocalypse-themed game show, only to be brutally killed off by a deranged clan of redneck cannibals. Dale Murphy (Henry Rollins) is a former special forces soldier who now hosts a reality game show in which contestants must struggle to survive in the wilderness with few resources and only their wits to guide them. After the members of the group are split up into partners, they are sent into the woods to locate supplies that have been strategically hidden by the show's producers. Should they fail to achieve this and various other tasks, they will be sent back to civilization in shame while the others vie for substantial cash prize. But the cameras aren't the only things watching as the competition heats up, because within these woods dwells a terrifying secret. Later, as the day goes on and the body count begins to multiply, both the contestants and the hard-nosed host must fight to avoid becoming the catch of the day for a family of hungry backwoods cannibals. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Vitor Meira is out of the hospital three days after breaking two bones in his back in a crash during the Indianapolis 500.
Wearing a back brace, the Brazilian driver left Methodist Hospital on Wednesday morning in a wheelchair but stood to talk with reporters. He plans to return to his home in Miami this weekend if he gets the OK from his doctors, and he says he does not expect his injury will require surgery.
Meira crashed with rookie Raphael Matos, who bruised his right knee and was released from the track hospital shortly after the crash.
Meira hopes to return for the final race of the season in October. A.J. Foyt Racing has hired veteran Paul Tracy to drive in his place this week at Milwaukee.

Sergio Aguero Hurt His Foot Trying to Imitate Tony Jaa
By Chris Ryan atThat is not true. But since Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini would "prefer not to say" why his star striker injured his foot, forcing the Argentine to miss last weekend's match with Stoke, this weekend's clash with Sunderland, and possibly even the following game with the hottest team in the Premier Leauge, Arsenal, I am forced to wildly speculate.
"It is a stupid injury," Mancini said. "It was not his fault but he can't play with this injury; for one day, 10 days, or two weeks. I don't know." We can have a lot of fun imagining what Aguero did to himself; maybe he was doing the Bishop-Aliens-knife trick with his foot instead of his hand

We stayed here in October, 2013. We had to ask for another room after we found that our shoes stuck to the floor in the bathroom. Yuck.

In sheer emotion and rage, Lakers forward Metta World Peace swung his arms violently.
He had just thrown down his third dunk of the game late in the first half, and the 18,997 fans at Staples Center erupted with joy. No one looked more elated than World Peace, who pounded his right fist on his chest. He then cocked his arm back and swung an elbow at Oklahoma City forward James Harden.

About Me Midrange Shopper
The quality of the table cloth seemed ok, average what you would expect for a vinyl tablecloth. The pattern was cute, bright colors. It didn't fit and cost almost as much as the tablecloth itself to ship it back. In fact I paid more for shipping both ways than for the tablecloth. Make sure about sizes etc, double, triple measure before you purchase. I figured an oval fits the average oval table, I was wrong.

Halls Chophouse
Online Reservations
We enjoyed spending our anniversary with the "Hall's Family"...they made our night very special and we cannot wait to visit Charleston and their establishment again.
Excellent food, great atmosphere. Owner was there to welcome you in and make sure you were well taken care of. Best dining experience I have had. Highly recommend the bacan steak for bacon lovers.
Not a copy cat. Unique in its own way, Hall's has perfected each facet of the dinning experience. From being greeted at the front door to our exit, the attention to detail is impressive. Ambiance, service, music along with outstanding steak and phenomenal side dishes makes this a must if you are in Charleston. We went in with very high expectations and it exceeded them. Can't wait to go back.
Hands down the best restaurant in Charleston for steak lovers!! Best customers service Ever experienced across the country. Definitely and simply the best!!
Can't wait to go back for dinner. The personal welcome by the Hall's family was warm and authentic and followed by friendly and professional service. The offerings were delicious and imaginative and the popovers a definite treat. The coffee is the best in town.
If one is looking for a great restaurant experience then look no further than Hall's Chophouse. From the moment my wife and I walked into the restaurant and were met by Billy Hall we had a terrific dining experience. Mr. Hall and staff made us feel welcome from the word go. We were fortunate enough to be at Hall's for Sunday Brunch - which I would highly recommend to anyone. Food was fantastic, atmosphere was great, and service was excellent. Great overall dining experience.
From beginning to end, an amazing dining experience. Service is above and beyond. The TRUFFLE FRIES were a dream come true for me because they were cut a little thicker than ones I've eaten at other restaurants. Beef was PERFECTION. This was a birthday dinner for my boyfriend...we can't quit talking about it. A dining experience at Hall's Chophouse is a MUST in Charleston.
The dinning at the Chop House is a must if you are in the mood for an incredible evening. Expect the best because this is what Halls is all bout. You will spend the dollars but the food is well worth the extra dollars and given the entertainment on the lower level, it is well worth it. The service is by far the best we have ever had and we have eaten at many 5 star restaurants. We look forward to our next visit because we know our expectations will be exceeded.
We had a wonderful time, the food was outstanding.
Great food, ambience, and service. I highly recommend.
We recently travelled to Charleston for my sister's wedding. We wanted to have a nice dinner while there to celebrate my husband's birthday. There were 7 adults and 3 kids, Hall's accommodated us nicely even when We were a little late for our reservation. They did not make us feel lesser for having kids. The food was amazing. We are steak snobs, but the buffalo filet was AMAZING!! I also don't usually like risotto, but would have licked my plate clean. They brought my husband a special dessert for his birthday, my kids loved it. Overall service was amazing as was the food. Thank You Hall's!
Love this restaurant!! You feel very special during the dining experience. Greetings and farewells are a nice touch.
We were there to celebrate my husband's 45th birthday. The service was attentive and knowledgable. The steaks were excellent and cooked perfectly. Wonderful time!
Better than Morton's, Ruth's Chris, Capital Grille and Michael Jordan's. Without a doubt, Halls Chophouse beats them all. Outstanding prime steaks, excellent side dishes and outstanding service. My wife definitely enjoyed her birthday.
Based on great reviews I took my wife there for a celebration. Filets were exceptional, twice baked sweet potato was outstanding. We recommended Hall's Chophouse to another couple staying at the same Inn and they also greatly enjoyed it. Next time we come to Charleston we'll be going there again!
My wife and I dines here recently at the urging of several friends. Halls is unbelievable- from the owner greeting us at the door to the 5 star wait staff. The service is impeccable. The food is amazing as well and the staff is extremely knowledgable about all the cuts of beef. Friendly staff and extraordinary food! We cannot wait o go back!
During a girl's weekend in Charleston we decided to dine at Hall's. We had a group of six. It was the best experience of our weekend. The food was wonderful and the service was even better. Being greeted by family members who own this restaurant was so nice and rare. Billy and Tommy both went out of their way to chat with us and make sure everything was perfect. Thanks for the great experience!
Have lived here a year now and finally made it here. It lives up to its reputation. Will be on the list to bring visitors to.
Hands down the best restaurant in Charleston!! I can't say enough about the service and the personal touch, from the hostess to the waitstaff. Great job a little on the pricey side but well worth it!! The pepperjack cream corn skillet is a must.
Steaks & sides of the creamed corn skillet, parmesan truffles fries & whiskey bread pudding were awesome, but what most impressive of the entire experience was the attention that not only the staff gave us, but the Hall family themselves which was incredible. I had indicated on my reservation that it was my birthday & as soon as I gave Billy Hall our last name, he shook my hand & congratulated me on my birthday. Mrs. Hall was working the tables & when she came to our table, she told me happy birthday. Stephan was our waiter & he was very attentive, but not intrusive with a fun sense of humor. He also wrote down key things to see & do. No wonder they are # 1 in Charleston per TripAdivsor.
We went for the Sun. Gospel Brunch after church. It was crowded but we were impressed at being greeted by one of the Hall boys himself at the door. We were seated upstairs. Food was good. Service was a little lacking....we had to ask repeatedly to have our coffee refreshed. But there was a large table of diners upstairs with us, so that might have had an effect on our service. That said, it wasn't bad service.
We went to celebrate out engagement. The service and food are second to none.
Hall's once again surpassed our expectations! We had a group of 12 gals for a birthday dinner - all seperate checks - all splitting this and that. They did a beautiful job and of course the food was amazing. They cut the cake we bought - served it up - everything was just flawless. Thank you Halls!
The customer service at this restaurant was beyond expectations. It was amazing and they made you feel like family. The food was to be expected top notch and it exceeded our expectations. I'm not an oyster lover however I've been converted and the lobster mac was out of this world. Oh and then there was the steak ..:) AMAZING!!!!!
Every single staff person from owner to coat check made the experience wonderful. Will certainly be recommendng and definitely coming back!
From the moment we walked in to our departure later that evening, we were cared for. We were treated like kings and queens and felt like we were dining at our favorite relatives' table. The quality of the service provided was truly impeccable! And then, the food! Oh the food!! The most amazing collards I have ever had. So many wonderful main course choices with unique and quality meats that aren't found in every high end restaurant. The Bison was a favorite at our table! Every last bite was delicious. We will be back and we hope it will be very soon!!! Thank you for a dining experience we won't ever forget!
Dined at Halls for first time. Had heard great things. It exceeded our expectations!
Some friends referred us to this restaurant and it was amazing. Our server showed us all the cuts of meat and discussed how they they could be cooked. The restaurant is a little pricey, but most of the meats can be cut in half so you and someone else can share. Additionally, we had 2 servers, so you never feel like you are forgotten! Can't wait to return to Charleston as this is now our to go restaurant every time!
This is our favorite restaurant in Charleston and that says a lot in a great restaurant market. We brought friends with us who were dining there for the first time. He is a real steak guy (his picture is on the wall of The Palm in LA ) and he was impressed. The Manhattans (bar barrel aged) were excellent and while trying to have only one I ended up with a second one. We were seated upstairs right on time. The server was excellent although I believe the kitchen got in the weeds as the food came out slower than we're accustomed to. The dry aged Kansas Citystrip was excellent and we washed it down with two bottles of Silver Oak. All the sides; corn, baked potato, creamed spinach and spinach with garlic and oil were delicious.
The high standards expected from Halls are always met. The family involvement with the customers shows. Food great, service great, ambiance divine. The follow up card or phone call is a nice touch. Eat here about four times a year and this place just never disappoints. Recommend for the special celebration. It is our favorite in Charleston of many to choose from.
I absolutely love coming here for special occasions. The service is always amazing, right along with the food. I'm so glad I found this spot.
We went to Halls for Thanksgiving day. The Service was outstanding! Stephan was personable & professional we were never rushed through our meal! The owners Jeanine and Rick were on hand to greet you and make sure all was well even signing a menu for us! The food was impeccable my husband had the dry aged rib eye, and I had the flounder stuffed with crab! The side dish of corn with jack cheese a family recipe was delicious! Leave room for dessert for the bread pudding it is sinfully delicious! Highly recommended for a special occasion as it is pricey but worth it!
We went to Hall's for our Thanksgiving dinner, in part because it was open and in part on the strength of online reviews. We were met at the door by a member of the Hall family and were checked on by family members throughout dinner. We were seated upstairs in the front by a window, which gave us the chance to have a more intimate dinner. We could order either from a special Thanksgiving dinner menu, or from the regular menu. My husband chose to buck tradition and had the prime rib, but asked for an order of stuffing. Although not on the menu as a side, they gladly accommodated it. I got the traditional turkey dinner. Both meals were delicious; my Brussel sprouts were seriously the best I have ever had! Definitely will return.
Best food and service hands down. The Hall's really make you feel special!! Thanks once again for just a spectacular dinner and Sunday brunch. Gary DuVall
This was our second time at Hall's! Although it is expensive, it is well worth it! The service is outstanding and exactly what you'd expect from such a restaurant. The food was exquisite! A must try, even if only for a special occasion when in Charleston!
Regardless of how widely traveled one is, or their food preferences, Hall's is absolutely a must. The food was great, we had the Filet and Lobster and both were very good values. The salads and appetizers also were top-notch. The food was very good and better than most other restaurants of similar price range. The table service was attentive and personable. What we had never experienced anywhere else was the personal attention from the owners, the personal touches and special attention were truly above and beyond. Hall's will be a perpetual fixture on every visit to Charles in the future!
My family loved the Sunday gospel brunch! The food was excellent and the service outstanding.
Always have a excellent experience when i go there. I refer as many people about you any chance i get.
The Hall family is so warm and friendly that we feel blessed just to be greeted by themas we enter AND depart.
Best restaurant ever...the food was superb and the service outstanding. Highly recommend Hall's and will definitely not miss it when we visit Charleston again. P.S. I hope it's soon!
Can't say enough about Hall's Chophouse. The steaks are absolutely awesome. Service is stellar! The Hall family has created a great dining establishment. Can't say enough about this restaurant. We will definitely be back!
I'm from Chicago and have eaten at some great chop houses (Chicago Chop House, Ditka's, and Gibsons) and Hall's was just as good. Great chop house that would be successful in even the largest cities. Loved it and we will be back.
Top notch service, very good food at Gospel brunch. Sweet potato pancakes are not to be missed; share a plate with someone else, they are rich and delicious. Crab Benedict was delicious, 8oz filet perfectly cooked; best Bloody Mary ever.
It's good anytime.But for a special experience,try Hall's Gospel Brunch on Sunday.No, it's not all eggs.There are a lot of other delicious items on the menu .Couple that with great gospel music with talented ladies at the piano and you have a perfect Sunday brunch.I dare you to top this one .So go and have fun while eating a great brunch/ lunch. PS : Be sure to have reservations.
Our favorite restaurant when we come in town. Owners Billy & Tommy always there to greet! Great wait staff with fabulous menu. Steaks are by far as good if not better than some of the DC restaurants we frequent. One member in our party had the Bison with truffle risotto, incredible! Beet salad and Chopped salad our favorites. Lobster Mac, Creamed Corn and Spinach sides are a must. Whiskey bread pudding a perfect finish!!!
The best steak I've had this side of Chicago...the sides, salads, appetizers all outstanding. Not stuffy, very warm and friendly. My new favorite restaurant in Charleston. Owner greets you at the door; excel leant service
We had filet and lobster mac and cheese. wonderful place if you got the cash
Dining at Halls was a wonderful experience. The food was top notch. The fried okra was the best we have ever had. The steaks were total perfection! Everyone was friendly. The manager came to our table four times. To welcome us, to see how our food was (2) and to thank us for dining at halls. Hope to get back next year!
Food and service were excellent. Only drawback for us dining upstairs was the noise level. We could barely converse or hear our adorable and attentive waitress. She agreed it was especially "lively". Maybe it was office party Friday, but large parties (6-10) shouting and talking so loudly we decided not to stay for dessert! Owner stopped by our table and couldn't have been sweeter. Still, did not make for a comfortable experience. PS: we aren't oldies but do enjoy conversation at dinner!
We were greated after a mile walk in the rain, handed towels and napkins to freshen up and shown right to our table! All servers were attentive, if we looked ready for something, another server would come over to assist us...they even knew what we had been drinking. The owner checked in with us twice and before we left, his wife came over to check on us as well! Our only complaint, was we were seated upstairs in a side room which was empty except for us, and they gave us the only table next to the waiter stand where they were dumping dishes and placing orders. We asked to be moved a few feet away to another table seating two. They moved us right away, and we had less traffic passing us throughout our evening. PLEASE GO EAT HERE!
