Stuck Fermentation

Hi, I'm relatively new at home brewing so this may seem like an obvious question.

I have recently (about a week ago) cooked up a batch of honey beer from a kit from Midwest Suppliers.

It has been about a week now and the fementer (gas lock) is showing no signs of fermentation (buttles).

What to do? Any help will be appreciated. Feel free to email me personally.

Yep, probably fine.  Let it finish up for another ten to 15 days and then keg/bottle.  The more complex sugars may be slowly fermenting and the yeast then cleans up by-products after that.  "No bubbles" is not a sign that it's ready to package.
 
I just checked on an ale I brewed on Monday, and it's all done.  Yeast is falling out already.  I'll rack it tomorrow or Saturday.
