“Let’s Eat Out!” covers a very difficult topic, restaurant dining for people with food allergies and intolerances. For adults who should avoid top allergens due to mild to moderate food allergies and intolerances, this can be a very useful book. I have already referenced it a few times for some restaurant inspiration, outside of my usual Asian selections.

The book itself is stylishly laid out with color-coded chapters, strategically placed photographs, useful charts, and sample menus. It addresses ten of the most common food allergens: dairy, eggs, wheat, gluten (an intolerance), soy, peanuts, tree nuts, corn, fish, and shellfish.

It should be noted, that this book was written with celiac disease, multiple food “sensitivities”, and gluten intolerance in mind. It may not be very appropriate for those who have life-threatening food allergies or severe intolerances. This is not to blame the authors. The various styles of food preparation combined with a high risk of cross-contamination in food service kitchens, make this a complicated area to address. Though, as one food allergy mom pointed out to me, the “Allergy-Free” title is a bit deceiving in this respect.

Also, for those who do have true food allergies, this book should not be used as a dining bible, but more as a suggestion based resource for further research and diligence. As someone who lives with a milk protein allergy, I unfortunately noted many errors with respect to the foods listed as “not containing the allergen.” Guacamole (often made with sour cream), margarine (frequently contains lactose and/or milk protein), and sausages (many brands contain cheese) were just a few that caused me to raise the red flag. Your own questions and food label reading would still be required when utilizing this book.

Luckily, the authors do relay what questions to ask, and in many different languages. Kim Koeller has traveled extensively while living with multiple food allergies. This is well evidenced b

I was looking for a quiet and dependable pedometer. This one is with me everyday and no noisy clicking. Nice to have the 7 day memory to help keep on track too. This pedometer has a nice sturdy clip to keep it in place that I personally have not had a problem with. I’m not a large person (130 lbs), but if what I’m wearing doesn’t allow the clip, you can put this in your pocket and it keeps track of your steps as well. As far as accuracy, I really haven’t made the effort to do a scientific study on it, but it seems to be fairly accurate.

Like many others, I’m a Verizon wireless customer that doesn’t want to switch to AT&T just to get the iPhone. Well, I got this a couple of weeks ago and now I see why iPhone users are so crazy about their phones. This thing is a blast. It’s basically got everything an iPhone has, except the phone and camera — but you can download apps that should let you make calls and text, at least when you’re in a wi-fi network. There’s no need to go into much detail; other people have done that. I will say the touch screen is excellent, very responsive, but definitely get a screen protector. A case wouldn’t hurt, either.

The iPod touch has wi-fi capability, so if you have a wi-fi network set up at home, you can use it to check your email, surf the web, get the weather forecasts, download songs from iTunes, get directions through Google maps, etc. Pretty much all of the apps available in the iTune store for the iPhone are available for iPod touch as well. You can download and manage songs and apps directly through the iPod touch, or by using a computer with iTunes installed. Syncing is easy (and you can also sync contacts, etc, depending on what programs you have).

Most everything is very intuitive and easy to learn, though if you’ve never used the Safari browser it will take a few minutes to realize how to switch pages (the equivalent of tabs in Firefox or internet explorer) [hint: the little icon in the far right corner with a number tells you how many pages you've got open]. It saves the pages, so even when you’re not on a wi-fi network you can still see what you were last viewing (all pages that were open). You can view YouTube videos, and then email them to friends. And you can set the iPod to automatically play videos in landscape mode (as if you were tilting the phone sideways). One note of caution: if you get a case, then you may want to watch videos and listen to music with headphones, because the speaker goes out the back of the phone and a case that co

This is a powerful film filled with high tension and intrigue that is done quite well better than most in the genre. And by no means whatsoever is Kevin Costner one of my faverite actors and to me most of his films are dull and boring except for this one and THE UNTOUCHABLES. But i must admit he pulled off a credible performance as a naval hero who takes on a Pentagon job and lands in hot water when he is entagled in a murder conspiracy involving his boss(played rather subdued by Gene Hackman)and by untalented actress Sean Young who is so annyoning in this film i was actually glad she got knocked off in the first half hour of the film in the tradinatonl Hollywood style. Terrifc on foot chases thougout the offices of the Pentagon to the streets of Washington D.C when Costner was being pursued by secret service agents. A great story backed by decent performaces make this story about an innocent man caught in a complex web of romance,murder, and corruption a sight to see But the surprise ending was unexpected and was out of step with the entire film.
