Safe Gluten-Free Halloween Candy!
Posted By Heather On October 26, 2013 @ 12:27 pm In Candy,Product Advisory | 145 Comments
Oct. 26, 2013 – I didn't scour the shelves to make updates to the Gluten-Free Halloween Candy List this year. However, I did make updates as I came across new products and reviewed ingredients labels on candy previously listed. Scroll down for the Complete Gluten-Free Halloween Candy List and unsafe halloween candy list. Check out a few of the new ones I recently found:
Details and links about these items can be found at More Gluten-Free Halloween Candy Information [3].
October 25, 2012 – You can read the 2010 update below for the details about the organization of the list. The short version is this: The green listing is for candies I believe to be gluten-free and safe to eat. The orange listing is for candies that don't have gluten ingredients listed, but may have gluten due to cross-contamination or other possible concerns. You may want to avoid candies in the orange listing if you are a celiac and/or are strict about adherence to a gluten-free diet. The red listing is candy that contains gluten and should not be eaten by anyone on a gluten-free diet.
We all want to make the best decisions we can for ourselves and our families. So, as I've said in the past: If you find additions or corrections to make to the list, please put them in the comments so that others may benefit from the information and discussion. Thank you, and have a safe and happy Halloween!
[Oct. 23, 2010 – The candy list is updated! I made some changes to the list because I get so many questions and comments. First of all, you should know that the category I put the candy in is determined by me, a concerned parent, based on reading the ingredients, allergy statements, and cross-contamination warnings on candy packages I find in the stores in our area. I also review websites for product information and contact companies if necessary. If you see a date after the product, that is the last date I actually read the label. If you see any statements in quotation marks, that means I have taken it directly from the packaging. If, while I'm shopping, I read allergy statements that refer to other allergens, I may include them in my list for people avoiding them. It's always best if you can check the ingredients of the candy yourself because it can vary if they were packaged or manufactured in different facilities or on different dates. But let's face it, there is a lot of different candy out there. So, I hope this helps some of you.
Second, I've reorganized the candy list a little. The first green section is candy that I believe to be safe for people avoiding gluten. I didn't find any questionable ingredients on the labels, nor did I find cross-contamination warnings. Or, I was able to confirm with the company through their website or emails that the candy is safe. The second section I created is for questionable candies. These are candies that appear to have no gluten in the ingredients. However, I feel uncertain about its gluten status, or the candy packaging may include a statement that warns of possible cross-contamination with gluten. Whatever, the case, I have listed the reason for being in this section so you can determine what you are comfortable eating. I personally do not allow my kids to eat any candy unless it is in the safe, green section. The last red section is for the Unsafe Candy. This is the candy that I would not recommend to anyone on a gluten-free diet. The packaging labels clearly state that the candy has gluten in the ingredients. I color-coded the sections to make it easier to determine which list you were reading. Let me know if you think that it makes it easier to read or worse.
Now, my disclosure statement: I'm not a doctor, nor an expert about candy or gluten. I'm simply someone who has been trying to keep gluten out of my family's diet for 7+ years. I hope that the information I've provided helps other families, too. If you find additions or corrections to make to the list, please put them in the comments so that others may benefit from the information. Thanks. I hope you have a Happy Halloween!]
History of my Halloween Candy List:
Ever since my kids started getting candy from trick-or-treating, I've been trying to figure out which candy has gluten and which doesn't. It was easy in the beginning because they didn't really get much candy, and I could always just throw it out (or give away to non-celiacs) without them realizing it. Then, I found the list that circulates around the web every year. It's a list that Melonie Katz and many other parents of celiac children put together. They combined resources to look up ingredients and call companies to get a list of safe and unsafe candies for celiacs. Here is the 2009 GF Candy List [135] .
Then, my kids started having Halloween parties at school, and getting more candy from trick-or-treating. Sometimes, they would get some unusual candies that you only see at Halloween time. They are a little more difficult to look up online. As a result, I just started reading all the packages of candy in stores. I started doing it just casually, out of curiosity. Then, I started to write it down, so I could better remember come Halloween night. Now, I go to several stores (grocery, discount, dollar, etc.) to see what candy our neighbors and classmates might be offering for Halloween treats. Since not everyone is as crazy as me, I thought I would share with you my findings.

Volume 13, Number 2—February 2007
Maculopathy and Dengue
On This Page
Suggested citation for this article
To the Editor: We thank Su and Chee (1) for their interest in our article, "Retinal Hemorrhages in 4 Patients with Dengue Fever" (2). We reported the findings of this small case series to highlight the presence of retinal hemorrhage as a manifestation of ophthalmic complication in patients with dengue fever. We wanted to describe characteristic clinical features (such as association of onset of visual symptoms with resolution of fever and nadir of thrombocytopenia) and propose epidemiologic explanations for the sudden rise in the incidence of observed ocular complications of dengue fever in our population. Our article did not attempt to conclude that the retinal hemorrhages were responsible for the patients' visual symptoms, as suggested by Su et al. In fact, we stated that in all 4 patients "fundoscopic examination showed macular hemorrhages and exudative maculopathy."
The range of dengue-related ophthalmic complication is still being investigated, and we agree with Su and Chee that other ophthalmic manifestations may occur in patients with dengue fever. In a retrospective observational case series involving 22 eyes of 13 patients with visual impairment from dengue infection, carried out in our hospital, Chan et al. (3) found evidence of retinal hemorrhage, macular edema, cotton wool spots, retinal vasculitis, exudative retinal detachment, and anterior uveitis. Therefore, physicians and ophthalmologists should be aware of the possibilities of ophthalmic complications in the management of patients with dengue fever.

Lexmark Z2490 Review
One of the best things to happen in the technological world in the past five years is the advancement of wireless printing. What used to be science fiction is now something that has become commonplace, and it's something that you can use with a wide variety of different types of machines. Now even printers come with the ability to utilize wi-fi connections, and if you're looking for a printer that is able to access wi-fi, is sold for a decent price, and can print beautifully, the Lexmark Z2490 is a very good option for you to look into.
What Is It
This printer is one that is created for light printing. It's not something that you'd look to if you have to print a number of pages every day, as the printer would not be able to handle that amount of printing, but it is something that is perfect for the person who only needs to print here or there. Many find it the perfect student printer, as it is small and compact which is ideal for a student's room. It is one of Lexmark's first wireless printers and has a decent networking range.
The Good
As we stated, the wireless capability of this printer is definitely the best thing about this printer. Unlike other printers from the same company, the Lexmark Z2490 is actually very easy to set up to your wireless network. If a student is going to be using this printer in a college dorm, they may need to hook it up to their computer directly as the range of the printer is not as good as it could be. Another good thing about this printer is the price of the Lexmark ink. Unlike some printers, the ink price for this printer is actually very low, which is ideal for people who are on a budget.
The Bad
While the price of the printer is great, many people complain that it does not last very long. If you're looking to get two or three years out of your printer, this is a good option. If you want something that will last longer, you may want to avoid this specific printer.
The Verdict
For an inexpensive printer, the Lexmark Z2490 is definitely more than good enough, especially since it has wireless capabilities. But if you're looking to purchase a printer that has the ability to last for a long time, this is definitely not a good option.

Reputation management is going to be a massive growth area for brands over the next few years. Imagine the power in being able to monitor, track and aggregate everything that people are saying about your company and brand online, on blogs, websites, forums, everywhere in fact that your potential clients can find it. With more and more people researching potential purchases online it won't just be useful to monitor online sentiment, it'll become vital.
There are several free tools online that will help you to dip your toe into the world of reputation monitoring.
Google Alerts
This is something everyone should have setup. Google alerts will notify you by email every time they find a mention of a specific keyword anywhere online. By setting alerts for keywords like your company name, brand/product names, key staff etc you can keep track of when and why you're getting mentions online. Key queries include [domain name], [domainname], [domainname.com], [your name], [Brand Name], [yourname], etc.
Google Blog Search
Play with the date parameters to see what people have been saying about your company in the past few days
Lets you find out what people have been saying about you on forums and discussion boards. Many companies keep a close eye on this and react to positive/negative comments.
Twitter Search
While Twitter is still quite new to a lot of people, it has a huge user base, and many larger tech and media companies are already using it to connect with their audience. Using Twitter Search you can monitor mentions of your company. Subscribe to the RSS feed to be alerted with new brand mentions.

Reputation management – What is it?
If you don't read and respond to this post I will sully your brand by writing vicious articles about your company and I will make sure these articles appear top fo search engines.
Yes, this is the sort of world we live in now where criminals and less than scrupulous companies will seek to dominate what is being said about your brand.
In reality the above is pretty uncommon though it will happen. What concerns most of us is how do we know what is being said about our company online and by whom.
We all know that word or mouth opinions are the most powerful in terms of influencing customer behaviour. Most of the time word of mouth extends to just 2-3 people, but what if this opinion finds its way to the top of Google each time someone does a search on your brand or company name. This can be disastrous.
Consider these listings for Dabs.com and laptops direct. These companies could be suffering hugely because of these postings. They may have been made by lone protesters but whoever they are their views are appearing on the first page of Google and that's going to hurt.
Laptops direct
Online reputation management is a relatively new "industry" as companies have caught on and comprehended the power of bloggers and opinion formers.
The service usually involves applying software to "monitor" comment and stories being written within the blogoshphere. The comments are then graded as to their content (positive, negative, neutral) and the writers influence (obviously a comment from the on the BBC site is obviously much more important than one from a lone blogger in Antartica.)
If a client's reputation is seen to be suffering then a "reputation repair" service is instigated. The purpose of this is to drive any negative comments from Google's index, and to post more positive comments within the blogs where the damage is being done.
As always, with any PR it is important that companies do not lie about their product or service. If people are posting genuine grievances "The steak was like leather", "the cashier was rude" etc then a this should be addressed politely and any improvements that have been made should be highlighted. Accentuating the positive rather than prolonging the negative is key here.
Datadial have launched their own Reputation management service this year and have already enabled blue chip clients to stifle negative press appearing Google and other search engines. The service breaks down into personal reputation management, brand reputation management and corporate reputation management.

CEO of Tesla Confirmed to Launch the New Roadster in 2014
The Model S saloon that was previewed earlier this month in Beta form, the upcoming performance version of the same model as well as the RAV-4 EV that it will be produced in cooperation with Toyota, are not the only plans Tesla CEO Elon Musk has in mind for the Silicon Valley-based brand.
The company is also working on an EV crossover based on the Model S while Musk recently told Autocar magazine that Telsa is also planning to launch a BMW 3-Series rival and an all-new Roadster in 2014.
Musk said that the second generation of the electric-powered sports car will no longer be based on the Lotus Elise, but on a "third-generation, more mass-market platform for cars like a 3-Series and the new Roadster."
Tesla's CEO remains upbeat about his company's future, despite posting losses in 2010 and reportedly losing money on every Roadster sold: "Bob Lutz has said that the Roadster prompted GM to do the Chevrolet Volt", he said. "We're trying to change the industry."

This October 5th weekend Mighty4 will be celebrating its 15th Year Anniversary. I've been greatly blessed to be able to spread awareness of Hip Hop culture through Mighty4 in the San Francisco Bay Area as well through out the world for 15 years thanks to many NYC and worldwide pioneers and elders who were kind enough to lace me up with knowledge and wisdom.
This years "M" art was created by the Great father of Hip Hop cultural Style, Phase 2 Bronx, NYC. Im very honored being its my 15th Year and was able to receive a design from a founding father of the culture and personal mentor. Phase 2 had practiced every street art form within the culture since its birth and his contributions to Hip Hop will forever be remembered -not to mention he is the original super fly jam flyer designer and he still creating for the culture and keeping in touch with whats going on, he's forever in the "know".
The intention of Mighty4 (M4 name created by DJ Shortkut Invisibl Skratch Piklz) was and always will be to educate people that Hip Hop was more than what was on tv or the radio (Rap music) or just one art form, it is a full blown American born culture that unites people from all over the world through music, artistic skills and knowledge.
Growing up in the west coast Hip Hop underground during the early 1990s with influences like Rock Steady Crew, Universal Zulu Nation, Radiotron & BBoy Summit it was no secret that Hip Hop was based on principle of culture and its 4 main artistic "elements". Witnessing what was being taught by our NYC and West Coast Hip Hop cultural elders we took it in and ran with it.
Sadly in 2013 each art form within Hip Hop continues to grow far apart from each other with younger practitioners rarely appreciating/supporting other Hip Hop art forms or not even realizing their particular art form is relative to the entire culture. Mighty4 will always work to keep the spiritual and cultural integrity of Hip Hop culture alive.
Below are a few flyers I managed to scoop up over the last 15 years that shows the evolution of mind state I went through with how I wanted the flyers to look. In the beginning Mighty4 represented the 4 art forms of Hip Hop, as I evolved spiritually with this culture the Mighty4 to me now also represents the 4 basic principles of Peace, Unity, Love & Having Fun.
June 27th, 1998 we produced our first Mighty4 highlighting dance battles, DJ battles, MC showcases and our flyer design created by San Francisco aerosol Writing King Crayone TWS. Spent long hours and nights with Crayone working on where we wanted to go with this flyer in terms of theme. During the time I spent w/ Crayone creating the flyer Crayone dropped so much knowledge and wisdom on me from his perspective of when Hip Hop came to San Francisco in the early 1980s, always thankful to him for that. RIP Gerald.
2001 connected with Crayone again and flipped out the Westcoast tour flyer. This was the first time I had represented Dream TDK RIP on one of my flyers. Since his passing in 2000 and hearing stories from elders, reading about his work I was inspired early from him, and knew that I always wanted to keep his work alive if possible through Mighty4.
2001 Done TDK had shot me a design and broke it down to that raw street flava. He told me "Skeee, I aint coming with that cute pretty shit, im coming with that True Bay Area street culture". The illustration has rising fists above the Mighty and brothers below who were forced into street life but strived to over come it with the rising fists above. Done was one of the realest cats I ever met and told me so many Dream TDK RIP stories that inspired me. One Love to Done.
2003 I got together with a child hood friend KMOS of SRXMM and again wanted to flip a Phase2/Buddy Esquire flavor flyer. Looking at it today this flyer was definitely fly in my eyes and is still clowning on flyers out today put out by jams.
2005 I was fortunate to hook up with the artist David Garibaldi. Broke down what I wanted to represent in terms of repping the art forms as well as making sure that ladies were repped on the flyer as most flyers at that time and in the past were primarily all males. Garibaldi had painted it with the earth tones get down and killed it. Big RIP to Dream and DJ Leacy.
2006 I met up with G-Rok of San Diego and sent him past flyers of M4 and he came through and just shut it down with an illustration repping HipHop culture in SF as well as my Pinoy roots.
2007 I finally got a chance to get down with Pres1 of San Diego (designer of BBoy Summit and Freestyle Session flyers) Had spent time building with Pres and at this point in my life I really wanted to do something that no other jams were doing for their flyers in terms of social justice and reppin for ancestors/freedom fighters. James Brown had recently passed and if you look hard enough you can catch all kinds of subliminals. Have to credit my brothers from San Diego Kid Dragon, Living, Ali and the Discourse family for the inspiration and guidance. Also was very hype that he was able to have my son on the flyer rockin a barong like his Pops.
2008 Another Pres 1 sure shot. By this time it was our 10th year anniversary and you already we had to go in. Pres went in and handled his biz. Got to represent a lot of Bay Area street dance pioneers, RIP Granny Robotroid, Frosty Freeze, DJ Rob1 and Respect to the Freedom fighters. Look deep in the photo with your 3rd eye.
2009 Rawkbeez had put together ideas I had in my head to represent as we were producing Mighty4 at Defermery park aka Lil Bobby Hutton (RIP) park in Oakland. You already know what time it is if you do the math just by being in a legendary park like this so we paid full respect for the ancestors and freedom fighters. Its always been bigger than HIPHOP.
For the most part the flyer of your jam is what sets your jam apart from the rest. It shows who you are as a promoter -which is an element of Hip Hop culture in itself and a title earned no different from BBoy, DJ etc. To me I just wanted to be different and do something that other Hip Hop jams were not doing in terms of social justice consciousness, ancestors that came before us and representation of Hip Hop culture as a whole -not just one particular art form. I hope the next generation of Hip Hop cultural organizers can find it within themselves to dig deeper than just putting 4 elements on a digital flyer -something thats been done to death since the 90s. Elevate the game and challenge yourself to be different, sometimes taking it back to black and white without using any Hip Hop image references on a flyer (just pure art) can be just as Fly. You don't have to scream Hip Hop on a flyer for people to know that you are already Hip Hop. Respect and One Love to all.
Aspire to Master Culture,
It's deep rooted out here, the Culture, the Family type of feel, the Respect for the Land & Water is big. In every era since the 80s till now here in Hawai'i, maybe 2-3 Writers survive because they all get knocked, & if they get knocked & theyre quitting its defeating the Purpose. How are we going to Elevate dope Writers if theyre just getting knocked & discouraged?
Im not trying to push it to anyone else except for Hawai'i cats.
With the technology advancements given, with the paint, i mean Montana 94, that wasnt meant to do Throwups, that was meant to do Burners. Theres no excuse in this day & era to be doing Great work. From a Krylon can that had high compression to a Montana 94 w/ a special tip & low pressure, that was meant to do something Great with that. I just want the Hawai'i Writers to keep that in mind, we aint trying to be like the mainland US or Anybody, we just need to do us." -EAST3 www.east-3.com
Aspire to Master Culture,
Keeping this in steady rotation for those on the path (as well as for the ones who aren't). Peace to ICE-T for constantly promoting Hip Hop as a culture honoring all art forms and the legends that came before him. Really fly to see a legendary west coast icon repping the essence and continuing to do his part in enlightening the masses on what the culture is about. When you do the math on his history you will def catch on that he's always been a student to the game from day one till day done. Respect.
Aspire to Master Culture,
Aspire to Master Culture,
One of those rare moments in Hip Hop culture that sent chills sheddin tears. Havikoro with a dedication performance to their crew member NAT (Rest In Peace) at the BC ONE. Been watching these heads get down since they were teenagers when I was touring with the Out For Fame US National Breakin Championship in 2000. Beautiful thing to see these brothers stick it out over a decade later still representing for Houston Hip Hop culture. Marlon's words took us (our era of the 90s) back to a time not so long ago when we were innocent to the senseless politics of what would become of Hip Hop culture in 2013. A time when it was just being free with these art forms, when getting busy with your fam was all that you wanted to do. Gotta salute Marlon and Havikoro for reminding us what it means to represent our culture with Love and Integrity. One Love to all of our Ancestors in Hip Hop that will never be forgotten.
"And so the story goes, these brown kids
From brown blocks
Hearing the same music, dodging the same shots
Sharing the same o same o, the same crooked cops
Leaning on bricks, on same bus stops
And it was bad circumstances
That created these dancers
Step on children with limited chances
Maybe it was the beat to the unforgiving concrete
Which led to these hooligans to finally meet
And they became KNIGHTS OF RHYTHM ODDYSEY
So Check out my B E A T
Check out my B E A T
Fresh like the 1980s, fresh like the 1980s
And these 90s kids became mighty kid
And in the home of draped up and dripped out
Know what im talking bout
we broke out
And it was house music
Dirty hole in the wall hip hop music
Cassette breaks rewound way too much
Second hand Adidas with second hand touch
Life as a short shouldn't be so rough MUSIC
And some picked up records some just kept wrecking it
Some just got jazzy some picked up books
Cause ain't no such thing as half way crooks
While the world she kept on passing me by
And it was those boys turned knights
It was the lab
Those broke kids rocking Pro Keds sleeping in broke beds and dreaming of flying
Its was the better tomorrows, sweating off sorrows
And its always been the game,The flow
The struggle, the concrete
The beats, these damn beats that wont let us sleep 2x
It's the flow that keeps us flowing
We are the culture THAT KEEPS US GROWING
We are the legendary ROCKSTEADY crew spirit,
Yo FROSTY FREEZE that was for you did you hear it???!!!
the STYLE ELEMENTS killin em,
The killa KAOS,The ACTION FIGURES,the G TRIBE, the WHYNOS chillin em
We are the BATTLE SQUAD,the SQUADRON,the GRIMEEZ, ORIGINAL MOPTOPS dancing on roof tops,
THE FAMILY,BRIAN GREEN so fresh so clean,the zulu spin the zulu spin
We are the ROCKFORCE crew, GERALD my brotha that was for you
the jazzy SKEME RICHARDS,
THE WANTED POSSE,the big get off me'
we are the get down in james brown, the FLIPSIDE KINGS now
We are the ground zeros, the Japanese hiro, dope as IJO
The MICHAELS THRILLER, KOREAN RIVERS
We are the gurus Jazz mattaz ,we are the cardboards battlnig FLOOR LORDS
THE BOOGIE BRATZ , the wassup with that THE WHATS UP WITH THAT
We are the knuckleheads on the run
The PRINCE IN KEN SWIFT, A CULTURES THEFT
A MASSIVE MONKEY getting down and funky
the old DIRTY BASTARD, THE STREET MASTERS
And WE FLOW MO CUS OF FLOW MO'
And we are hip hop we are hip hop
We are hip hop CULTURE…WE ARE HIP HOP CULTURE…..
- Marlon. HAVIKORO.

Photo illustration on Health Care Reform. Photo/Shutterstock Images
- Filed Under
It was three years ago this weekend that President Obama signed a law that fundamentally changed our nation's healthcare system. While reform was needed, change is only good if it brings with it real reforms that reduce costs and empower individuals and small-business owners in making healthcare choices for themselves, their employees and their families. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) does neither of those things. Three years later, the law is not living up to its moniker.

Burlington Police Cpl. Ethan Thibault (left) shot and killed Wayne J. Brunette, 49, of Randy Lane in Burlington after he and Cpl. Brent Navari (right) were responding to a disturbance at Brunette's home.
Vermont State Police Detective Lt. Bob Cushing, left, and Detective Lt. Thomas Hango, right, investigate the scene of an officer-involved shooting on Randy Lane in Burlington's New North End on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2013. / April Burbank/Burlington Free Press
The two Burlington Police officers who were sidelined following a fatal shooting two weeks ago have returned to work.
Cpl. Ethan Thibault and Cpl. Brent Navari were undergoing training Monday, Police Chief Michael Schirling said.
The chief told the Burlington Free Press that both policemen are expected to be back patrolling the city Tuesday.
Meanwhile, two investigations are continuing into the Nov. 6 shooting death of Wayne J. Brunette, 49, outside his home on Randy Lane.
The Vermont State Police are investigating a criminal complaint, while Burlington police are undertaking its own investigation to determine if policies and procedures were followed.
Brunette, who has a history of mental illness, was reported to be destroying property and acting irrationally when his mother, Ruthine Dolly Brunette, summoned police at about 4:20 p.m. that day, the authorities have said.
Neighbors had reported that Brunette, who had an upstairs apartment in his parents home, had cut down a crab apple tree in the front yard shortly before the shooting.
When Thibault and Navari approached the house, Brunette suddenly appeared wielding a long-handled pointed spade shovel, according to the authorities. Witnesses reported Brunette failed to respond to multiple demands by the officers to drop the weapon, state police have said.
Thibault fired multiple shots from his handgun and hit Brunette multiple times, according to police. Navari did not fire his weapon.
In a statement Monday, the state police said Brunette was shot in the torso, and that the medical examiner recovered four projectiles from his body. The Burlington Free Press reported last week that Brunettes death certificate indicated he died of multiple gunshot wounds to the torso. The manner of Brunettes death has been classified as a homicide which the state police noted was a medical classification rather than a legal definition.
The Burlington police computerized dispatch log shows the entire episode took about 2 minutes and 31 seconds from the officers radioing that they were arriving at the scene in separate cruisers to when they reported that shots had been fired and an ambulance was needed.
Brunette was pronounced dead about 40 minutes later at Fletcher Allen Health Care.
Schirling said the internal investigation is still in progress. He said depending on what is found an outside police consultant might be asked to review the case.
There is a parallel investigation by state police, he said.
Once all the information from both investigations is in, Schirling said, his office will review the material and determine any future steps.
The state police said that its review would be forwarded to the offices of the Chittenden County states attorney and the Vermont attorney general.
The Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, meanwhile, has called for a grand jury to investigate the incident.

One-off (Product) RED Mac Pro fetches $977,000 at auction
updated 07:49 am EST, Sun November 24, 2013
First official new Mac Pro to be sold sets record for most expensive personal computer
Apple is known for making history by inventing the future, but even its designer could not have predicted a new record shattered on Saturday as a special one-off red version of the new Mac Pro (which is not officially available for sale yet) was sold at a charity fundraising auction for $977,000 -- an all-time record for the priciest personal computer ever made or sold. A couple of other items also designed by Sir Jonathan Ive of Apple and designer Marc Newson also fetched record sums.
The Sotheby's auction in London also commanded high prices for other items from the pair, including a custom-designed Leica Rangefinder digital camera which sold for $1.8 million; a Product (RED) custom desk that sold for nearly $1.7 million, and a unique pair of rose gold Apple Earpods that sold for $461,000. The Mac Pro, the normal versions of which will become available next month, was only expected to fetch between $40,000 and $60,000 - some 10 to 15 times the machine's starting retail prices - but ended up selling for nearly $1 million as part of a benefit for the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Maleria.
The Global Fund and Product (RED) fundraising have been spearheaded by U2 lead singer Bono, who enlisted the help of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Jony Ive in 2006 - a collaboration that saw the iPhone maker release a string of (Product) Red items and accessories, most memorably a series of iPods, along with Smart Covers and Smart Cases for the iPad and a special leather case for the iPhone 5s. Since 2006, the company has donated over $65 million to the cause, not including this latest auction.

VIDEO: Police say a 19-year-old teen walked in to American Pawn Brokers early Wednesday morning, asked to see a shotgun, loaded it and shot himself. He later died from the injuries. Police continue to look into this case.
We're told it took only seconds this morning for a 19 year old man to pick up an unloaded shotgun at a pawn shop, load it, and shoot himself. Now, we are learning more about the minutes before the suicide .. about the interaction between the young man and a store clerk who tried to get him to put the gun down. This tragedy was at American Pawn Brokers on Southwest Main Boulevard in Lake City. Channel 4's Kumasi Aaron is there and is joining us LIVE .. Kumasi what have investigators been able to find out about this teen? 3 3 3 00-1012-1659-1'03Police cars and crime scene tape, an unimaginable ending to what started as a normal day here at American Pawn.Just after 10 this morning a 19 year old walked in, and asked to see a shotgun.OFFICER CRAIG STRICKLAND/LAKE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT 14:58:09-15 They have not given us any indications of any wild sayings or anything strange that he did he just acted like a normal customer.The teen had been at the gun shop the day before asking to see a shotgun but couldn't because he didn't have an ID.This time he had one, so the clerk handed him the unloaded weapon, never expecting the teen to load the weapon right in front of him. OFFICER CRAIG STRICKLAND/LAKE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT 15:00:18-30 He drew his firearm to point it at him cause he didn't know if he was going to point the shotgun at him or exactly what was going to go on maybe be thought he was going to get robbed and he just told him to put the gun down put the gun down the next thing he know the young man stuck it up underneath his head.The 19 year old died almost an hour later.As the shop began trying to get their business back in order, investigators worked to find out who the teen was.He had drivers license from Michigan, and they found his car parked here at at Popeyes, less than a mile away from the pawn shop. JILL JACKSON/WORKS NEARBY 15:07:08-14 It's sad that anybody has to see that you can't imagine what it must be like to see somebody kill themselves.Jill Jackson works in a barber shop just a few doors down, and knows the pawn shop owners.But she says in a situation like this her heart goes out not only to the people she knows but to the young man she didn't.JILL JACKSON/WORKS NEARBY 15:05:08-17 15:05:40-49 It's just sad at 19 you feel like they have you have so much more to live for so it's sad when you hear of a 19 year old kid taking their own life. 3

Posted by Andy Benoit
Despite the NFL currently being busy fighting tooth and nail in the ongoing labor battle with the NFLPA, the league is still willing to put a spotlight on the idea of having an 18-game regular season. An 18-game season is an idea that most players hate vehemently and most passionate fans hate generally (more on that in a second).
But league spokesman Brian McCarthy tweeted over the weekend, "At fan forum, @nflcommish (Roger Goodell) asks fans, do u want 2 pre and 18 reg season games? 56-4 say yes."
So 56 out of 60 fans at this private forum told the NFL they wanted a longer regular season. That prompted the website Pro Football Talk – which is super popular with hardcore fans and league insiders – to put up its own poll asking readers if they want an 18-game regular season. As of Sunday afternoon, of the 10,000-plus people who responded, 64 percent said NO.
What's the difference between PFT's poll and the league's poll? In the PFT poll, fans were not casting their votes in a room with the most powerful man in football watching them. And while we don't know what was said during the NFL's fan forum, it's probably a safe bet that fans casted their vote sometime shortly after Goodell preached to them what he feels are the merits of an 18-game season.

Reviews of Azura at Quilalea
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
A beautiful resort
We arrived at Quilalea minus our luggage (which was still in Dar es Salaam), so it wasn't the best start to our paradise honeymoon! However the staff at Quilalea bent over backwards to help - we were taken shopping in Pemba on our way to the transfer and so had managed to buy a few essentials. Once on the island some other guests lent us clothes and our bags arrived after 3 days.
The island itself is beautiful - and our villa was spectacular. It was nice to meet in the bar each evening to discuss if we wanted to do any activities the following day. We did a Discover Scuba course and enjoyed it so much that we went on to dive nearly every day (accompanied by the Divemaster Janine).
The marine life and corals were beautiful and we also had the most amazing experience of snorkelling with dolphins.
Mark was also the first ever guest to do the 4 1/2 hour kayak to Ibo island (with Nathan, one of the staff.) We also chartered the Islands' catamaran for half a day which we really enjoyed as a change from diving and snorkelling.
The food on the island was superb and the restaurant staff very friendly and chatty. It's a pretty laid back place with a very relaxed atmosphere. As with the other lodges we stayed at, we couldn't find fault.
Barefoot luxury on an intimate island
We had a wonderful stay. Even after 10 days we left wanting more, especially as our days could get busy with two dives.
We had room 9 booked and confirmed but when we arrived we were allocated another room. We showed our voucher and luckily room 9 was to be used by other guests arriving that day so a swap was possible. Not sure what would have happened otherwise! Definitely go for rooms 8 or 9, then 6/7. Rooms 1-5 are nearer the generator which runs 24 hours.
Great dive school. Well organised, and everything arranged for you, including carrying of heavy equipment to the boat.
Great food too with lots of delicious local seafood. Staff very friendly and willing but their English was often limited to the extent they could not answer queries or take instructions, eg, coffee ordered for 7.15 came at 7.45. Language barrier also a bit of an issue with the massage girls as you could not tell them anything about the treatment you hoped for.
Good other range of activities - kayaking, walking round the island, picnic lunch, visits to other islands. The trip to Ibo, while very worthwhile, was rather overpriced at $400 we felt compared to the cost of other boat trips.
Expert Africa comments
Quilalea's owner, Marjolaine, commented that they realize that their luxury yacht, Kiraku, is costly, but that this due to the high price of maintaining and fuelling the craft in such a remote area. They had tried to find other guests who wanted to share the costs of the fascinating trip to Ibo, but sadly on this occasion it wasn't possible.
The staff on the island have come a very long way since this remote lodge started. Levels of education in this area of Mozambique were very low, and a lodge like this has to train most of its staff from scratch. Bearing this in mind, what the staff have achieved so far is fantastic.
Most already speak at least 4 languages, including Portuguese, and whilst classes for learning English continue, it will be some time before everyone attains a high standard.
Overall the experience was excellent.
Some of the activities appeared a little expensive, eg the trip to Ibo Island.

11.May.2010 Riemers WINs another Supreme Court Case!
Just got word from the State Supreme Court that I won another of my cases. This one dealt with the state constitutional right to a jury trial for a $20 city ordinance violation. The case is 2010 ND 76 if you want to look it up. By the way, I really didn't win the case as such, but just proved, against a roomfull of overpaid city lawyers, that the city was violating established state constitutional law by denying citizens all their rights to a jury trial. Not bad for just a first year law school graduate.
So, although I loose a majority of my appealed cases, I now have won I believe 5 cases (plus one AG opinion against the ND Supreme Court when they violated the open meeting law a few years back), which would be the historic record for ND if not the U.S. for a non-lawyer, self represented, litigant. It would also probably be more then the vast majority of lawyers in ND as well.
So, how many Supreme Court appeals have my opponents ever submitted, let alone won? How many cases have you blog reading, negative nay sayers won? Who really knows the law and would make a better sheriff? Training and experience are great, but mean nothing if you don't have the insight into what you really are suppose to be doing.
Have a great day all of you.

Riks has recently released information from JP Australia about a brand new shape concept that will feature in their 2011 board collection – and the great news is that it will be entering service early so sailors can benefit from the performance it offers throughout the coming summer!
Shaper Werner Gnigler has brought together a combination of characteristics from JP's proven Formula, Slalom and Super Sport board ranges and the result is a high performance yet forgiving shape that delivers planing in very light-wind conditions.
This is expected to be really popular with intermediate and experienced sailors alike given the desire most have to get out as often as possible without having to deal with the technicality of a formula board or the requirement to sail fully-charged with huge rig sizes. Sure it's not possible to buy wind to provide a regular fix of planing action but JP's Super Light Wind should prove to be the next best thing!
Initial details can be found on Riks website with action images following soon.
Stock of the Pro Edition build arrives at Riks from early May and he'll also have the Gold Edition available from early June. Supply is limited so if you are interested please be sure to get in touch. Rik promises to post some more information/findings once he has taken it for a spin…it's a hard life!

The enfranchisement of women would insure immediate and durable white supremacy, honestly attained, for upon unquestioned authority it is stated that in every southern State but one there are more educated women than all the illiterate voters, white and black, native and foreign, combined. As you probably know, of all the women in the South who can read and write, ten out of every eleven are white. When it comes to the proportion of property between the races, that of the white outweighs that of the black immeasurably. The South is slow to grasp the great fact that the enfranchisement of women would settle the race question in politics. The civilization of the North is threatened by the influx of foreigners with their imported customs; by the greed of monopolistic wealth and the unrest among the working classes; by the strength of the liquor traffic and encroachments upon religious belief. Some day the North will be compelled to look to the South for redemption from those evils on account of the purity of its Anglo-Saxon blood, the simplicity of its social and economic structure, the great advance in prohibitory law and the maintenance of the sanctity of its faith, which has been kept inviolate. Just as surely as the North will be forced to turn to the South for the nation's salvation, just so surely will the South be compelled to look to its Anglo-Saxon women as the medium through which to retain the supremacy of the white race over the African.
Miss Kearney's speech was enthusiastically received and at its end Mrs. Catt said she had been getting many letters from persons hesitating to join the association lest it should admit clubs of colored people. "We recognize States' rights," she said, "and Louisiana has the right to regulate the membership of its own association, but it has not the right to regulate that of Massachusetts or vice versa," and she continued: "We are all of us apt to be arrogant on the score of our Anglo-Saxon blood but we must remember that ages ago the ancestors of the Anglo-Saxons were regarded as so low and embruted that the Romans refused to have them for slaves. The Anglo-Saxon is the dominant race today but things may change. The race that will be dominant through the ages will be the one that proves itself the most worthy. . . . Miss Kearney is right in saying that the race problem is the problem of the whole country and not that of the South alone. The responsibility for it is partly ours but if the North shipped slaves to the South and sold them, remember that the North has sent some money since then into the South to help undo part of the wrong that it did to you and to them. Let us try to get nearer together and to understand each other's ideas on the race question and solve it together."
