As a close-to-nature experience, sea kayaking is hard to beat. With the gentle slap of the water and the cries of seabirds to keep you company, the archipelago stretches out before you, a hypnotic landscape of remote granite and gneiss islands floating on a blue sea. Life's possibilities seem as limitless as the wide skies above.
This experience offers the ideal combination of the freedom of a self-guided tour and the convenience and confidence of an organised tour. You will be provided with a map of the area and recommended route, including suggestions for the places to pitch camp for the night and even small restaurants and local stores along the coast if you would like to stop off for refreshments and supplies.
Your tour begins from the kayak centre just outside Uddevalla, heading south to paddle outside the islands of Orust and Tjörn, a sheltered area with varied scenery. When your sea kayaking adventure ends (3 or 6 days later depending on the route chosen), you will be met at the designated end point for return transfer.
Accommodation along the way is wild camping, and there is no shortage of islands to choose from, many of which are completely uninhabited. Camping on your own private island is a unique experience!
Your self-guided sea kayaking tour takes place in the Bohuslän archipelago, a lovely area with a picturesque coastline dotted with small fishing villages. The archipelago is made up of thousands of islands and forms part of the Gothenburg archipelago, Sweden's second largest archipelago. Sweden's west coast is a world-class location for sea kayaking, attracting paddlers from far and wide with its dramatic rock formations of gneiss and Bohuslän granite.
Self-guided sea kayaking is suitable for a wide range of ages and levels of ability. If you are an inexperienced or novice kayaker and would like to brush up on your technique and get a feel for life on the water before you set off, there is an option to add a 1-day sea kayaking course before your self-guided kayaking tour begins. More experienced kayakers can choose to extend the route and explore further into the network of islands, rocks and skerries.
This is an experience to be taken at your own pace and enjoyed in your own way. Self-guided sea kayaking allows to you create your very own voyage of discovery!
Start/end any day by arrangement between 01.05 and 30.09.15 NB: No starts/ends 19.06 or 20.06.15, though tours are possible spanning these dates.
Standard tour durations 3 days/2 nights or 6 days/5 nights (4-day and 5-day variations are also possible).
The experience begins at 09.00 on the start day and ends with pick-up at the designated end point at 15.00 on the end day.
Prices are in British Pounds. If you wish, you are also welcome to make your payment by bank transfer in Euros or Swedish Kronor. If this would be of interest, please let us know and we will be happy to provide prices.
*If choosing 4-day or 5-day options, you can choose to base your tour on either the standard 3-day route (minimum distance to cover approx. 50km) or standard 6-day route (minimum distance to cover approx. 80km). The tour is not intended to be demanding in terms of distance covered, and the nature of the archipelago landscape means that taking detours to explore particular islands or sections of the coast is an integral part of the experience. These minimum distances are therefore not an indication of actual distance paddled, which can be extended almost indefinitely, but are simply a guide to help you choose the most suitable basic route. The pick-up points at the end of the tour are different in each case, but do not affect the price.
Please note that equipment must be returned in the same condition as rented. At the end of the tour, the equipment should be cleaned and rinsed with fresh water at the kayak centre. If you have a return flight on the evening of your last day, it is possible to arrange for your equipment to be cleaned and returned for you (see Optional Extras).
You will be given a 30-minute introduction before launching at 09.00 on your start day. For novice and less experienced paddlers, a 1-day kayaking course before your self-guided tour begins can be added as an optional extra.
NB: Please be careful with the kayak and the rest of your equipment! If some part of the equipment should break as a result of misuse or carelessness, you may be charged for the damage caused.
If required, components of the camping package can be hired separately. Please contact us for details and prices.
Sleeping bag is not included in the standard camping package above but can be hired separately. Sleeping sheet/liner is included.
You may wish to use a wetsuit or kayaking jacket during your tour, especially if paddling during the cooler parts of the season. Please provide sizes in advance (S-M-L-XL-XXL).
For novice or inexperienced paddlers, it is possible to arrange a 1-day kayaking course before your tour begins. The course takes around 5 hours and includes all rental equipment as outlined above under "What the price includes". Please bring food for lunch.
Price: £70/person (private lessons are also available on dates by arrangement for £79/person/2-hours for 1 or 2 persons).
Public courses are offered on specific dates - please contact us for details. For groups of minimum 4 persons, courses at standard prices can also be arranged on other dates.
A wetsuit is required for the course. Wetsuits can be hired on site for around 100 SEK (about £10)/person. The course begins at the kayak centre at 09.00 with instruction until around 13.00. Participants then have the opportunity to practise the techniques taught until around 17.00. You can keep your kayak equipment for the evening/night at no additional charge, giving you extra time for your self-guided tour if you wish. If you have hired the camping package as an optional extra, you can also use the equipment for the night following your course at no additional charge.
Camping in the immediate area of the kayak centre is not permitted, but you can kayak a short distance to camp for the night. If you require accommodation for the night before your course or would like accommodation for the night following the course, there is a comfortable hostel adjacent to the kayak centre.
Please note that equipment must be returned in the same condition as rented. At the end of the tour, the equipment should be cleaned and rinsed with fresh water at the kayak centre. If you are not able to do this (e.g. because you have a return flight on the evening of your last day and time is short), it is possible to arrange for your equipment to be cleaned and returned for you at a cost of £27/person.
Minimum 2 adults (18+) required for safety reasons. Recommended minimum age 15 years. For younger participants, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
It is not necessary to have previous experience of kayaking, though if you are a novice or inexperienced paddler, we strongly recommend you add the optional 1-day kayaking course before your tour begins. Novices may also prefer to request double kayaks, which are the most stable option. You should be used to and enjoy the outdoor life and be able to swim. The experience is completely self-guided and it is important that you are comfortable on the water in different weather conditions. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions regarding your suitability for the tour.
A detailed recommended equipment list will be sent with your booking confirmation.
NB: We advise you not to buy equipment or clothes for your trip or to incur other non-refundable expenses such as flights until you have received confirmation of your booking from us in writing.
This experience is suitable for groups. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Bohuslän is an area noted for its rocky coast and with a long history as a centre for herring fishing offers some of Sweden's best sea kayaking.
The archipelago consists of about 3,000 islands and 5,000 islets or skerries in total, and makes up the northern section of the Gothenburg archipelago. The largest of the islands are Tjörn and Orust.
In the past, the many reefs and submerged rocks along the coast were known as a considerable hazard to shipping, and there were a number of wrecks in the area.
This provider has received a prestigious Swedish Ecotourism quality mark for its commitment to high standards to cultural and environmental sensitivity.
Detailed information on travel options will be sent with your booking documentation. We are happy to advise on suitable connections and assist you with any aspect of planning your journey.

The actual number of people infected may be considerably higher, since not everyone who gets ill with salmonella seeks medical attention, officials said. Some estimates put the actual number of those sickened at 30 to 38 times the number reported, said Dr. Christopher R. Braden, acting director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Foodborne, Waterborne and Environmental Diseases.
Potential sources of salmonella contamination can include rodents, shipments of contaminated chicks or tainted feed, Hamburg said.
On Saturday, it was reported that both Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms share suppliers of chickens and chicken feed.
In healthy people, salmonella can cause fever, abdominal cramps and diarrhea and usually lasts four to seven days. However, contamination can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
The FDA advises consumers to:
Harmful bacteria such as salmonella are the most common cause of foodborne illnesses, according to federal health officials.

Hello everyone, This is the first time I have decided to start a thread. I thought I would post some photos of me riding during my 5th lesson with my new trainer. I have ridden before but mainly just trail rides and not very much and I had not ridden for about 18months (except one or two 2hour trail rides) before starting lessons, now I'm taking proper dressage and jumping lessons and loving it!.
I know I need to keep my heels down (and I am improving with that a lot, only got yelled at four times instead of a hundred in my last lesson lol) and need to close my fingers on the reins. What else do you guys think.
The horse is unfortunately not mine, he belongs to my instructor. His name is Sox and is 14.2 hands. He is a school master. These photos are from two weeks ago. Last week I got him to collect up properly for the first time. I was so excited!
This lats one is just because I love how we have the same expression of concentration on our faces

Ronny Turiaf has traded elbows with Nikola Pekovic in the post and chased Ricky Rubio around the court in international competition long enough. The eight-year veteran said he's happy to join the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he will serve as a mentor and an extra big man off the bench to help prepare the younger players for what everyone expects will be a run at the franchise's first playoff berth since 2004. ''It's a great thing for me to fit in. I'm tired of playing against Ricky in Spain. It's good to be on his good side,'' Turiaf said on Wednesday, drawing chuckles from the crowd. ''I'm actually really being serious about it.'' Turiaf has averaged 4.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in his career and played just over 10 minutes per game last season for the Clippers. But when Flip Saunders went looking for a veteran big man to beef up the team's bench, he immediately thought of Turiaf. Saunders coached Turiaf in Washington two years ago, and grew to admire not only his te...

I was reading an article on Kotaku about this and seems like a good idea. I'm going to give this a shot because I already have a big enough backlog, I don't want to make it any bigger now. The four that I'm going with are:
- DmC: Devil May Cry
- Fire Emblem: Awakening
- Parasite Eve
- Darksiders II
I have a lot of other games to pick, but I have made up my mind on these. This will start today and will continue until the end of the month. I will keep an update throughout and give my thoughts on these games as well (I want to write a review for these games when I'm done).
The first game to go on this is Darksiders II. I'm looking forward to this.

46 year old woman | Tannersville, PA, USA | Seeking men 44-52 in Pennsylvania, United States
Seeking a fine gentleman with a sense of humor, romantic, loves to travel and willing to take chances in life, with lots love to offer.
Looking for a friend. One who is humorous, outgoing and fun to be around. Before a relationship can take off, it is imperative to establish a true friendship. I had the greatest friend and husband for 18.5 years, but unfortunately he passed away. He could never be replaced, but I am hoping to replace that love with a new loving friendship. I live for the outdoors, laughing and doing things together with my friend and hopefully companion. Someone to come to and cuddle with to alleviate the office issues. I am searching to fill the void in my life. The void of offering and receiving LOVE.

Very Liberal
I would have to say that my favorite sport is fishing. I have not had the opportunity to go camping, though it is one of the things on my bucket list.
The Colorado College, Colorado Springs, CO
My favorite thing is cooking, reading, gardening, fishing, now playing video games with my 16 year old son and hanging out with my grand daughter, until she start to cry, then its time to go back to her mother.
Fun for me is going to work and coming home. I am more than willing to find someone that will take my hand and assist me in living and sharing their happiness with me.
The last thing that I read was a 40 page brief. My eyes are still spinning from all the crap involved.

Focusing on Strengths and Opportunities for Professional Development
To: ComETS Members
From: ComETS Events Subcommittee
Re: Focusing on Strengths and Opportunities for Professional Development
This will be the last event in a series of ComETS events related to professional development this fall. Please contact event liaisons Lisa Jansen (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Cheryl Diermyer (email@example.com) if you have any questions.
Title: Focusing on Strengths and Opportunities for Professional Development
Date: Wednesday, December 8, 2010
Time: 9:00-10:30 am
Location: 21 N. Park Street
Note: REGISTRATION REQUIRED (see below)
Description: We all know that professional development is important, but getting it can seem like a luxury when we're pressed for time and resources. We can overcome many of these challenges by:
- expanding our definition of professional development
- identifying and developing our strengths
- taking advantage of opportunities that fit within our budgets (both time and money)
At the workshop we'll explore all of three of these strategies. Don Schutt, Director of the Office of Human Resource Development (OHRD), will lead the discussion about strengths.
There is no fee to attend the workshop. However, registration is required. Go to
by Friday, December 3 at 12:00 noon. A minimum of 8 participants is required to hold the workshop.
Hope to see you there!
Lisa Jansen and Cheryl Diermyer, on behalf of ComETS Events Subcommittee

Great place with fantastic hosts who made us feel completely at home and have great local advice (including a fab pizzeria). Our room was more a mini apartment with chairs and fridge. And yes although there was no window, there was a large wall with glass doors so it really wasn't a problem!

Just installed an X2 Pro on a friends xbox. Everything seems to work ok, except Px HDD Loader, when I try to load a game to the HDD, it tells me "Your modchip does not support the eject on reset trick found. Disc must already be inserted to install" I even read the install help file that comes with a standard distro of Px HDD and it told me to boot the HDD Loader prog into the root C folder which I did and inserted a menu link to it and it still does the same thing. I have a same model xbox with an X2Pro and the same BIOS flashed onto the modchip and mine works ok. I can still copy games to his HDD via FTP and execute them there with no prob, just won't let me do it from DVD to HDD. Anyone ever heard of this before, or know how I can get around this eject trick problem? Thx in advance for any help !!

This is NOT news. Who Kerry has sex with is his private business. Leave him alone and find some real news or, at least, something that should be public knowledge.
Originally written on Jocks and Stiletto Jill | Last updated 4/22/13
This Kerry Rhodes saga continues to take bizarre turns. Following Russell "Hollywood" Simpson's confession that he was allegedly romantically involved with the free agent safety, Rhodes people have come out stating that Hollywood isn't telling the truth and the photos are just showing Kerry's friendly side. He's the type of guy that makes a lot of physical contact with people in his circle. So of course, Hollywood decides to release more photos, gave a follow up interview and through in text messages as well. On Making Kerry Rhodes Relevant "He can make money off this. Before now, people didn't even talk about Kerry. If you walked into a room and said, 'Kerry Rhodes had a nice game', the first thing the guys would say is 'Who is that?' If you walked into a room and said 'Ray Lewis had a great game' everybody knows who Ray Lewis is. I have really put him out there to make a little bit of money. It's not like I'm trying to hurt him. I have really helped him because before now, nobody was even thinking about his ass. He can make money off of it. I hear Nike is looking for the first gay athlete and they're going to pay him millions." On Whether He Personally Outed Kerry "It was definitely [already] out just nobody was talking about it. The football players that played for Arizona have talked about it. It's been talked about. I'm not 'outing' Kerry, Kerry outed himself when he was asked a question and he responded. The people who are saying I'm outing him should be happy if you're a girl. If you run into him, now you know he likes boys so you won't be playing yourself. I'm helping you b**** at the end of the day, if you think about it. I'm not outing Kerry. I'm helping the little groupies standing outside the gate. Thing about it, I wasn't the little girl standing outside the gate, I was the girl inside the gate, getting in the truck with him with my red bottoms on." The response from Kerry's side, to leak information that Rhodes is in fact engaged and the wedding is scheduled to take place this summer. The alleged fianceé is from DC and works a corporate job OR, she's a model… so that's why she hasn't been spotted around Arizona the last few seasons…Listen, I don't know if Kerry is really engaged but, his team needs to get on the same page and decide a strategy moving forward. I'm over it.

Whichever console your leaning on and have alligned yourself with, im sure we can agree on one thing, someone needs to make don mattrick shut up.
he's apparently speaking out and defending the price point of the xbox one, saying that its a reasonable price......im just gonna post the quote from don mattrick here.
"It's a lower number than some of the analysts had forecasted," Mattrick said on Bloomberg TV.
"We're over-delivering value against other choices I think consumers can get. Any modern product these days you look at it [and] $499 isn't a ridiculous price point. , so I think they're going to love it when they use it."
Competitor Sony will offer its PlayStation 4 at $400 this holiday season, but Mattrick believes consumers will choose Xbox One for its suite of exclusive services and applications like an improved Xbox Live, as well as Skype, Twitch TV, SmartGlass, and Kinect.
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS of value folks,
even though its a crazy comparison, i do get where he's coming from when he says when compared to other electronics $499 isnt too bad,
but saying consumers are getting THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS of value...............jesus
Microsoft's hubris is quite fascinating to see on display,
ultimately curious to see if it pays off for them and if nasty policies and ok exclusives (except titanfall) be dammned, and this thing takes off due to the "shiny appeal" of controlling your tv and changing inputs with your voice.
or if they become the sony of 2006 this gen.
also if you're tired of seeing the "internet hivemind" response to the xbox one, why are you even clicking on the thread or even posting in this thread.

I recently got a Revell Steve Kinser sprint car kit and it has some kind of aluminum looking plating that looks like chrome with flat clear on it. Does anyone know how to strip it? I've tried bleach since it works on regular chrome and it doesn't work at all on this stuff.
Stripping "Satin" chrome
Posted 08 January 2013 - 09:55 AM
Posted 08 January 2013 - 11:31 AM
I've had that problem with regular chrome too. I mix some isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol with the bleach, about 1 part alcohol to 4 parts bleach. The alcohol dissolves the coating, then the bleach can react with the aluminium. It should strip the chrome in a minute or so.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 12:18 PM
I've always heard that you Never mix ANYTHING with bleach, as it could create chlorine gas!! What I would do is try sanding off the clear coat, then soak in something a little less dangerous.......
Posted 08 January 2013 - 02:04 PM
Point taken, some things will react violently and/or produce toxic products when mixed with bleach, so yeah, best to avoid mixing it. I wouldn't suggest experimenting with anything else.
The OP could always do it in stages: soak in IPA or similar to remove the clear coat, rinse thoroughly, then use the bleach.

That's acid and chlorine (bleach is 5%)......NASTY MESS. Easy off oven cleaner in a baggie...outdoors and with gloves and eye protection ... when clean rinse in running water.
Edited by G Holding, 08 January 2013 - 02:34 PM.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 06:05 PM
try brake fulid or ez off oven cleaner..
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:06 AM
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm going to try the Easy Off and see if it does anything.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:38 AM
If this is an older kit with the 1980's Monogram dull chrome, a dip in brake fluid for 5 minutes will remove the dull and leave the bright chrome underneath. Overnight will remove all of the chrome. Experiment on a a couple of pieces of sprue.
gloves to protect your hands and good safety precautions with this stuff
Edited by Muncie, 09 January 2013 - 07:47 AM.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 07:57 AM
The purple stuff strips it just fine.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 11:12 AM
One thing I have found using bleach to strip chrome is that it needs to be fresh. I have a jar on my work bench and fresh bleach will start knocking off the chrome within the first 5 - 10 minutes. I know it is going bad when I drop parts in and come back the next day and there is still chrome.

"Amazing product"
Annabel Burgess-Durston
20 November 2014
I have been hankering after one of these for years and my husband treated me to my Christmas present early this year. We had to test it out immediately and within the first few days we have made meringues, cakes, cupcakes and bread! It is so easy to use and my 8 & 5 year olds have mastered it easily! The cakes are the lightest I have ever made and the dough hook makes dough a doddle! I can't wait till I get my free I cream maker then we can see what fun we can stir up with that! Often when you have wanted something for so long it's a disappointment but not in this case!

Remember a few weeks ago when Kanye West had that bizarre BBC interview rant which included him getting emotional over leather jogging pants and making confusing references to Wreck-It Ralph? Then Jimmy Kimmel made fun of it on his talk show, because duh?
Of course Kanye was p*ssed about Kimmel's parody video, in which a little kid plays Kanye and recites the exact interview transcript because it's all nonsense anyway.
Kanye then proceeded to post meme's online about Kimmel's "stupid face" and how Kimmel must not have gotten any "good p*ssy" in his life. Kanye even called Kimmel and asked him to apologize. Kimmel did not.
Things got heated and it's about to go south real fast because Kanye is going on Kimmel to hash things out.
Kanye might be the most angry celebrity in Hollywood. So the idea of him going on national TV to apologize or get more angry at Kimmel (we don't know) is giving us tingles.
Anyways, the momentous occasion is happening tonight on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" according to a statement from ABC.

40 year old man | Irvine, CA, USA | Seeking women 29-38 within 100 miles
Active within 24 hours
To best describe myself you'd have to ask my friends and family to tell you about the kind of person I am but since this is up to me, here goes nothing; I'm a passionate individual when it comes to my career and doing what is right versus what simply gets the job done. I smile all of the time because it takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown ( 43 versus 17). I'm extremely loyal when it comes to my family and friends and no matter what disagreements we may have, I like to resolve and get over any of our issues rather quickly. I enjoy traveling and lived in Europe for six years (worked in Germany but lived in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg). I'm a sucker for small dogs especially rescues since they cheat death on a daily basis (I've rescued two thus far and have managed to find them loving homes). I'm extremely active and would like to consider myself somewhat athletic and though I'll never be confused with being a world class athlete, I can play just about any sport and you'd never know whether I played it my entire life or not! I enjoy working out on a daily basis if for no other reason than to let off some steam. Factoids you should know about me: #1 I played professional baseball in Europe (German team and a French team) #2 I completed most of my bachelor's degree online #3 I 'will' complete my entire graduate degree online #4 I drove to Colorado with a friend when I was 16ish...told my mom I was spending the night on the other side of town #5 I broke my left ankle...twice! #6 I got hit by a drunk driver and fractured my seventh vertebrae...(not sure if my mom knows about that one yet!) #7 I lived and worked in Europe for six years (worked in Germany, lived in Luxemburg City, Luxemburg) What I'm looking for would best be described as a person who knows what she wants, can be independent but at the same time not afraid to rely on each other for moral support! I'm looking for someone who is athletic, enjoys the outdoors but at the same time doesn't mind watching a movie at home. Someone who is educated and challenges me to continue on with my education as well. Someone who is classy, can get dressed up to enjoy a night out on the town but who can also throw on a pair of jeans at a moments notice and look just as good. Basically I'm looking for someone who is; adorable, ambitious, bright, calm, capable, cheerful, confident, courageous, cultured, decisive, delightful, detailed, determined, diligent, dynamic, encouraging, energetic, enthusiastic, exclusive, faithful, fearless, friendly, funny, generous, gentle, harmonious, helpful, joyous, kind-hearted, knowledgeable, loving, mature, modern, receptive, responsible, romantic, self-assured, silly, sincere, skillful, successful, talented, thoughtful, trustworthy, upbeat, vivacious, warm, wise, witty, and wonderful...that's it! And, if this isn't enough well here are ten words I thought of which hopefully describe myself a bit better. (no particular order): spontaneous (not every thing should be planned out) hardworking (though I don't know every thing, the worst feeling is being ill prepared) dependable (I'm punctual and I do what I say I'm gonna do) eager (to learn about new things, cultures, people, places...etc.) passionate (to a fault...but if your not than why do what it is that you do) confident (definitely a difference between cockiness and confidence and I think I exude the latter) determined (once I set my mind on a goal, I see it through) faithful (gotta be faithful...if for no other reason at least to be able to sleep good at night) generous (there are different levels and I'd like to think that I cover them all) mature (not into playing games or leading people on) So that's me in a nutshell send me an e-mail and let's chat it up!

For the second day in a row, The New York Times' photography blog, Lens, asks one of its photographers in Gaza about covering the Hamas-Israel war.
Q. Have you had pressure from any of the parties involved in Gaza to take certain photos or not take certain photos?
A. Never. Not once in all my years.
The exchange on Lens with Times freelance photographer William Nassar comes on the heels of heavy scrutiny of the Times for its response to questioning from JTA last week about why the paper of record had failed to show photos of Hamas fighters during the conflict.
"Our photographer hasn't even seen anyone carrying a gun," Times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy told me.
The Q&A's on Lens are interesting (Tuesday's was with Tyler Hicks), but they don't answer the central question of why the Times has failed to obtain or show images of Hamas shooting at Israelis — a crucial element of this war. Even after two TV stations aired footage this week of Hamas rocket crews operating in Gaza, the Times failed to run images of the footage in the paper.
Here's what Nassar had to say about taking photographs in Gaza, where he lives:
Q. Have you seen and photographed any Hamas fighters or other militants?
A. There was only one time I saw militants and photographed them and that was on the first day of the humanitarian pause which the sides agreed to on July 20. I did not find any problem photographing them. I have not seen any other militants since then.

This question can be a very difficult one to answer. Alcohol, though consumed like juice, food, or soda (though your liver hopes not with the same frequency!), isn't governed by the same regulations or even the same agency as these others. While foods and most beverages fall under the domain of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), alcohol falls under the guidance and regulations of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, a subdivision of the Department of Treasury. This INCLUDES labeling rules and regulations. So while your mega-jumbo-can-o-caffeinated-monkey-juice will most certainly have a label listing the nutritional value and all the ingredients, alcohol is almost always devoid of the former (and often the latter as well). Though it is often easier to determine how many calories are in your alcoholic beverage of choice, finding the actual ingredients that make up that drink is another story entirely.
Many producers do list ingredients on their website or have at least become savvy enough to list some of the common allergens that are NOT in their products, particularly nuts or nut derivatives. Beyond visiting websites and doing your own investigative research, many people are left with only anecdotal evidence as to whether a type of drink can cause a reaction or not.
Distilled spirits (think whiskey, rum, etc.) have a list of standard requirements when it comes to labeling. These include
- Name
- Alcohol Content
- Address of Distiller Country of Origin
- Net Contents (a metric measurement of volume)
- Coloring Agents (colored with caramel, annatto, etc.)
- Wood Treatment ("beechwood aged" ring a bell?)
- Other Ingredients like Dyes, (Yellow #5), Saccharin, or Sulfites
- Specific Type of Commodity (redistilled, blended, compounded, etc.)
- Statement of Age
- Distillation/Production Location
- A Health Warning
As of right now, major food allergens can voluntarily be listed for wines, distilled spirits, and malt beverages, but again, this is only voluntary. There has been a proposal to make this mandatory, and since 2006, nothing has been finalized... eight years later.
And, even if you do find a list of ingredients, this still may not cover a statement regarding the processing. Though some can tell you that there are no nuts in their products, many can't ensure their products were produced in a facility that is also nut-free. This touches on another problem, cross-contamination.
Bartenders and those mixing drinks work in fast paced environments and worrying about cross contaminating a drink is likely not high on the priority list when there are half a dozen orders rolling in at a time. A good general tip is to skip the garnish. One garnish in particular that can be troublesome for those with nut allergies is maraschino cherries. These are often processed or flavored with almond extract. If you know a favorite mix or type of drink that is safe for you and you order it with no garnish, you can dramatically reduce any risk. At that point ingredients should be coming straight from the bottle to your glass.
For reference purposes, here's a quick list of some common alcoholic beverages that contain nuts or nut extracts. Keep in mind, things can and do change, so contacting the producer is still your best bet.
- Amaretto
- Creme de noyaux
- Creme de noix
- Frangelico
- Galliano
- Kahana Royale
- Nocello
- Beefeater
- Bombay Sapphire
- Harp Lager
- Phillips Dirty Squirrel
- Southern Comfort
- Eblana
- Nocino
This list is by no means comprehensive, and there are MANY varieties of wines, beers, champagnes and other types of alcohol I excluded because they to be rather obvious choices to avoid (many had things like "Nut", "Cashew", or "Almond" in the actual name).
In general, I advise people to stick with what they know. For people with severe nut allergies being adventurous around the holidays can likely lead to some not-so-festive memories. Check producers websites whenever possible, and if you don't see the information you need listed, call or email them. Most producers would much prefer you contact them and err on the side of safety when consuming their products. Lastly, make sure you keep your auto injector (and a backup!) handy at all times.
Unfortunately, all we've covered today is nuts. If you are one of the rare people who has a wheat or gluten allergy, that's a whole other ball of wax. Be safe and enjoy the holidays responsibly!
For those with pet dander allergies, the relationship with dogs and cats can be bittersweet. Despite the benefits pets can offer, their dander can trigger sneezing, congestion, watery eyes, skin reactions and even asthma attacks. But to better understand this, let's get microscopic and explore what triggers these allergic reactions. The American Lung Association explains pet dander as a composition of "tiny, even microscopic, flecks of skin shed by cats, dogs, rodents, birds and other animals with fur or feathers." Proteins found in saliva and excretions from cats, dogs and other pets can also cause allergic reactions.
Unfortunately, cats are the largest culprit for protein allergy reactions due to a Fel d I protein they carry. Not only is cat dander some of the smallest, but it's also "sticky," meaning it's difficult to remove. Curiously, female cats produce more Fel d I protein than males, but it's not quite clear why this is. Research from the University of Cambridge has found similarities in Fel d I protein and Der p 2, the dust mite allergen, both of which can promote airway hypersensitivity reactions for asthmatics.
So you've been diagnosed with allergies to dander or you have asthma, now what? Most people aren't willing to give up their pets, and given the strong bonds that people can and do form with their furry friends, this is understandable. There are a few things that you can do to try to limit your exposure to dander and hopefully keep your allergies or asthma in check.
- Limit where they can roam. Keep your pet out of the bedroom and off of the furniture. Bedrooms can be the single worst place for your pet to be if you're dealing with pet allergies or asthma.
- Clean as much as you can. This means not only surfaces, but also the air in your home and even your pet itself.
- Keep up with any medication. Don't skip things like your preventative asthma medication or a doctor prescribed treatment.
Bathing your pet regularly with an anti-allergen pet shampoo is a good first step, but too many baths can dry your pet's skin and cause itching and scratching. So between baths Allerpet is a handy solution to pet dander. Allerpet/C gently cleanses your cat's hair of saliva and dander, and can make all the difference for those with allergies.
Cats and dogs all have hair, and pet hair can be the primary vehicle of spreading dander throughout your home. The FURminator deshedding tool is a specially designed shed-less tool for cat and dog owners. FURminator's unique blade is designed to remove loose hair like no other. Dog groomers love this pet brush because it removes undercoat and loose hair from dogs and cats, while leaving the shiny top coat intact and healthy.
Most pets spend at least some time outdoors, and just as their hair can carry dander, it can also pick up outdoor allergens and bring these unwanted guests into your home. This is where Pet Wipes can help. These wipes make it easy to remove dander, pollen, dirt and saliva off your pets. There are couple sizes available, but each pet wipe is stronger and thicker than most others sold today, and one wipe can generally clean your entire dog or cat.
So you tackled the source of the allergens, what about your home? For floors, surfaces and even furniture, a quality vacuum cleaner can make a big difference. With an Active Clean filter, 12 stage filtration, and an array of cleaning attachments, the Miele Cat & Dog vac provides all the tools needed to keep your home clean and free of dander no matter what four-legged friend you have indoors. As with the Cat & Dog upright, the included STB 101 turbobrush comes included in the box and works well on carpeted and upholstered surfaces. With an encased motor and silence insulation, these vacuums are nearly quiet enough let your sleeping dog lie.
Dander is light enough to easily become airborne, so how can you remove allergens from the air in your home? Designed specifically for pet owners, the Austin Air Pet Machine air purifier traps the allergens produced by pets, specifically pet dander. The Austin Air Pet Machine has a filter that traps these microscopic particles as well as a special blend of carbon that reduces the unpleasant pet odors that linger in the air. With 4 stage filtration, five color options, and an effective coverage area of 750 sq. ft., the Pet Machine fits well into nearly any size of room.
Best of luck with your beloved pets! If your allergies are excruciating, even after trying all methods of taming pet dander, you might unfortunately have to consider removing them from your humble abode. If it comes to that, please find them a home where they will be just as loved or even more.

While wet, warm conditions are very conducive for the production of pollen, it tends to be drier days that see some of the highest pollen counts. This is because dry, low humidity days are better "pollen travel days". When not encumbered by moisture, pollens are freer to float about in the air and coat, well, everything. Ever notice the air feels "heavier" or "thicker" when it's humid out? There is some merit to this as humidity does make microparticles, like pollen, heavier and more likely to precipitate out of the air rather than continue floating along, tickling the noses of people across a very wide area.
Often rains spell relief for many folks since the humidity levels rises and grounds pollen faster than one of those new Boeing Dreamliners with a faulty battery (too soon?). Rain not only inhibits the spread of pollen, it also washes it away. Areas of the country, like Atlanta, that experience high levels of pine pollen often get that yellow, powdery coat over everything. While these larger, visible particles can sometimes be less responsible for allergic reactions than their smaller cousins, this pollen nonetheless is a good indicator to all that allergy season is in full swing.
So whether you're a farmer in many parts of our drought stricken country or just a seasonal allergy sufferer, spring rains bring welcome relief. Check out a few of the pictures I shot recently. No, it's not a chemical spill. That's pollen!
You can't always wait on the rains to give you a break during week long stretches of high pollen counts, but you can help to reduce the pollen you breathe by wearing an allergy mask, rinsing your sinuses and using OTC allergy medications when symptoms flare up. Or, there is always a rain dance.

So what are some common cross reactive allergens? Birch is one of the biggest culprits. A protein found in apple peels is very closely related to one found in birch, and this means the body can sometimes confuse the two. You may be diagnosed with an allergy to birch, but then, while eating a raw apple, you might experience tingling, swelling or itching around the mouth and lips. This type of symptom is most common for people with cross reactions to foods. Another example of this is with grass pollens and seemingly unrelated foods like kiwis, tomatoes, or peanuts. Sometimes referred to as "latex-fruit syndrome," a third common cross-reaction stems from a latex allergy and a sensitivity to certain fruits like bananas and kiwi.
Unfortunately, the problem with this can be felt year round. So while your spring allergy season may play hell on your birch pollen allergy, a reaction to eating fresh apples is likely to appear regardless of the season.
Challenges in identifying and categorizing these reactions can be difficult and cause false positive test results. Common allergen tests, like the skin prick test, can reveal a sensitivity to a particular allergen, potentially a cross reactive food, but then lead to a diagnosis of a full blown allergy to this food. Cross-reactivity does not mean that someone will have a reaction to ALL types of food that share a particular, similar protein. Because of this, eliminating an entire class of foods from the diet because of cross reactivity can sometimes be a bit unwarranted, though not uncommon.
One interesting away around this can be by cooking foods. While the cross reactions can be common when it comes to fresh food, cooked food often alters the proteins enough that the body no longer misidentifies them. This is not always the case (particularly with a cross-reaction to nuts), but this does explain why someone with a birch pollen allergy can feel a tingling in the lips and mouth when eating a fresh apple but experience no symptom at all when eating apple cobbler or drinking apple cider.
Without a doubt, cross reactivity complicates our understanding of allergies and the allergic response. Yet, solving the problem of allergies can't be solved until more is known, and cross reactivity is just another part of puzzle. If you think you may be cross-reactive, talk to your doctor or allergist. While the knowledge in this area is still rapidly expanding, he may be able to help further pinpoint the actual cause of the issue.

Masks come in a variety of styles and sizes, and being such a personal item, it can be difficult to find the one that balances all your needs: filtration, breathability, aethestics, and price. Here at Achoo, we focus on filtration and breathability first, then comfort and price.
One big complaint about allergy masks is the look of them, but would you be willing to sacrifice some filtration for style? You may be familiar with some of the masks below, but browse our Andy Warhol-esque selection below and see which you would prefer.
- a. Vogmask (Microfiber) - Non-woven microfiber, 3-ply, that offers basic particle filtration, roughly equivalent to the Silk Mask.
- b. Vogmask (Organic Cotton) - Organic cotton, 2-ply, that offers slightly less filtration and the Vogmask microfiber.
- c. ICanBreathe Organic Cotton - This organic cotton face mask uses no latex, dyes, perfumes or plastics. The filtration is similar to the Silk Mask.
- d.Respro Techno - With the European equivalent of N95 filtration and activated carbon, the Techno filters chemicals, smoke and particles.
- e.Respro Aero/Allergy - Like the Techno, the Aero offers N95 equivalent filtration of particles with optional smoke/chemical filtration.
- f. ICanBreathe Silk - Very popular, the Silk is lightweight, easily stored and blocks medium to larger particles, like dust and many pollens, less than N95 filtration.
Ammaria Johnson had a peanut allergy. While out at recess, she broke out in hives and began complaining of shortness of breath. Though she was taken to the school clinic, they had nothing they could give her and called 911. Sadly, she didn't make it.
Head of the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network Maria Acebal says of the incident, "When consequences can be life-threatening, then you've got to have schools prepared for an allergic reaction. It's very straightforward. There is no magic to this. It's just proper education, how to recognize it, and how to treat it."
Since 8 percent of American schoolchildren have food allergies, it seems imperative that schools have on-hand the life-saving equipment and medication to treat a food allergy attack. But as Shawn Smith, spokesman for the Chesterfield County school district points out, although there are extensive guidelines for treating students with severe allergies, the parents of the allergic children must provide prescribed medication to the schools, along with a form authorizing the school to administer it if an emergency arises.
In the absence of these, the nurse attempts to make contact with the family in time to obtain and give medication – an outcome that seems unlikely given the speed with which allergic anaphylaxis can cause death.
To me, this whole situation seems like a tragic, bureaucratic gap in addressing the severe consequences of an allergy attack. Yes, health officials must know how to recognize an allergy attack, but it seems like we have to find a way to allow schools to carry and administer epinephrine when an allergic attack is evident and death is imminent.
In summary, the hazards highlighted were:
- Licorice can lead to heart attacks. The FDA recently came out with a warning that too much black licorice could lead to heart trouble in adults, especially older ones. These heart problems include arrhythmias, and are due to the glycyrrhizin in black licorice, which can cause the body's potassium levels to fall.
- Sugar substitutes can cause diarrhea. Sorbitol can lead to diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues. Look for it especially in "dietetic" type candies.
- Eye injuries from thrown eggs. Shells from tossed-around eggs can cause blood in the front of the eye, scratches to the cornea, and retinal swelling. Eye injuries reported around Halloween time confirm that this danger is real, not an imagined paranoia.
- Lead contamination. Halloween-themed toys, from candy buckets to fake teeth, that are contaminated with lead can cause to children to ingest unsafe amounts of lead.
- Glow stick "poisoning." Increased incidents of children ingesting the liquid found in glow sticks occur around Halloween. Though the liquid is minimally toxic, poison control facilities should be contacted if this occurs.
Another truly frightening Halloween risk is to those who have food allergies. We wonder if this danger didn't make this list because it's a "known" risk or because, as we fear, lack of awareness of the dangers of food allergies is still the norm. What do you think?

The reason for worsening allergy seasons is two-fold: There's more pollen and it's sticking around for longer. As Estelle Levetin, Ph.D., chairwoman of the aerobiology committee for the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology puts it: "Pollen levels are increasing, pollen seasons are getting longer, and more people are developing allergies."
This year's fall allergies are estimated to last up to 27 days longer than average in some parts of the country.
Here is a summary of the reasons behind these more potent and longer-lasting allergy seasons, which occur both in the spring and the fall:
- "Spring allergies now start sooner and fall allergies end later, thanks to global warming," says Jeffrey G. Demain, M.D., director of the Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Center of Alaska.
- Carbon-based fuels trap heat over the earth's surface, causing temperatures to rise. This heat prompts an early spring, and delays the first frost – making both seasons longer.
- Increased temperature also heighten the allergenic property of each pollen grain. "There's more allergen now in each grain than there used to be," Demain says.
- Higher temperatures also contribute to more prolific mold, another fall allergy trigger.
Keeping allergen exposure to a minimum while travelling is a problem many allergy sufferers face. Bringing items like portable air purifiers and even your own allergy bedding can help control allergies while staying in a hotel, but these options are not always convenient. An allergy-free room, maintained by the hotel you're staying in, seems like an excellent alternative.
So just what makes these rooms hypoallergenic? According to Hyatt, Respire by Hyatt rooms undergo "an additional six-step process to reduce airborne particles and minimize the presence of potential irritants." These six steps include a one-time shock treatment to minimize irritants, complete disinfection of the air handling unit with application of tea tree oil, hypoallergenic mattress and pillow covers, a medical grade air purifier, vacuuming with units that have "special filters that trap pollen and dust mites," deep cleaning and disinfection of room surfaces to remove allergy triggers, and every surface treated with an application to eliminate bacteria growth.
This all may sound great – and it might be – but we did have a few question marks. Mainly, we wondered about the use of tea tree oil as well as what is being used to disinfect and treat the room surfaces. Of course, minimizing allergens is a plus for allergy and asthma sufferers, but sometimes the "cure" can cause additional problems. For instance, using bleach to deal with mold could trigger respiratory reactions due to noxious fumes.
An article in News4Jax.com, Jax Hotel Offers Allergy-Free Rooms: Hyatt Regency Uses Special Pillowcases, Air Filters, Vacuum Cleaners helps clarify this matter, however, by specifying that the cleaning products used are chemical- and fragrance-free.
But a statement by sales and marketing representative Casper van Eldik Thieme made us wonder about how consistent the effects of these allergy relief efforts are. He describes: "We do this every six months. We go through the whole process and make sure it's clean for the guests. When they are staying here, they know that this room is as fresh and as clean as it was six months ago." Knowing how important it is to maintain a clean environment weekly, even daily, we cringed at the mention of "six months."
The best way to know whether these rooms work is experience. Has anyone stayed in a hypoallergenic or allergy friendly hotel room?
The question is as follows:
"When I observe student teachers in a school auto shop, there is almost always an engine retrofitted to run on biofuels like used peanut oil. Is it safe for students with a severe peanut allergy to be around it or work on it?"
Fortunately, according to Dr. William Reisacher, ear, nose, and throat specialist and director of the Allergy Center at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell hospital, "The processing of the fuel minimizes or eliminates such a risk." Typical peanut oil used for cooking has all of the peanut protein – the allergenic part of the peanut – filtered out.
However, Dr. Reisacher warns that peanut allergic individuals must be wary of "products that are labeled as organic, cold-pressed, expelled or extruded" because they "may still have enough protein present to cause an allergic reaction in a person who is peanut-allergic."
Back to biofuel, Dr. Reisacher further adds that though passing through an internal combustion engine would most likely degrade any traces of peanut protein that might be present after processing, wearing a barrier mask or respirator would "add an extra layer of safety."
We'd of course recommend the extra layer of safety…
