Editor's note: This is a guest post from Kimberly, The Food Allergy Mom
As the fall holidays approach, parents of children with food allergies collectively cringe at the food-related challenges they bring. After all, both Halloween and Thanksgiving are completely centered around food!
Still, if you've visited my blog, The Food Allergy Mom, you know I don't believe in letting food allergies define our kids. Kids deserve to be kids…no matter what.
Halloween is a little more than a month away and it's time to start thinking about how you can safely capture the magical fun and food of the holiday.
Before I break down the different ways to safely celebrate the day, there is one cardinal rule to remember. Foods and candy that are normally considered "safe foods" are not necessarily safe at Halloween.
Many popular candies and treats can have altered ingredients or are processed on equipment that also processes a known allergen. Many of these changes are due to special packaging and festive appearances of brand name products. Never let your child consume food or candy that is individually packaged unless you checked the ingredients and warning labels of the larger bag it came in. Ingredients and warnings are required to be labeled on the exterior of the product, but not necessarily on its individual components.
Now that you know what not to do, how can you safely celebrate Halloween with the family? Here are few frightfully delightful ideas:
The Candy Swap: Older children or children with very mild food allergies (not requiring epinephrine), may be able to safely trick-or-treat around the neighborhood if the ground rules are laid out beforehand. The most important rule is for kiddos not put anything in their mouths! Accompany your child from house to house allowing them to collect candy with friends. When done trick or treating for the night, let your child swap out the candy they collected for safe candy (candy you personally bought and approved) or a non-food prize.
Selective Trick- or-Treating: If you have family or other food allergy friends in the area, take your child to trick-or-treat only at those "safe" houses. This may require driving around the neighborhood rather than walking but is still just as much fun when in costume! Make sure the treats served are truly safe by providing friends with an approved list of treats ahead of time and then double-checking the ingredients again before your child consumes them.
Pumpkin Party: Halloween parties are usually a high-risk zone for those with food allergies and require extra care. Even if you are the host or hostess for the party and are providing allergy-friendly food for friends, a well-meaning guest usually shows with a special dish they think is allergy-free.
If you do decide to host a Halloween party, consider making it a non-food party or make sure your children know to eat only the food you personally place on their plates. If you are attending a Halloween party, bring an allergy-friendly dish. It is a great idea to bring extras of the allergy-friendly dish in your purse to provide your child with so there is no chance for cross contamination or look-alike mix-ups.
Falling For Fall: Another option is to avoid food all together by enjoying the simple pleasures Halloween has to offer. Load the family in the car and head out to a local pumpkin patch. Enjoy the fall weather and take your time picking out the perfect pumpkin before enjoying a picnic. Some pumpkin patches even host a festival on the weekends with lots of food-free activities such as carnival games, hay rides, and costume contests.
Whatever you do this Halloween, make it a safe and boo-tiful experience for you and your family!

It's Essentially Mayonnaise; stupid with money
Two theories:
1) Truth in labeling laws. It may taste like mayo, but it doesn't have actual mayo content, and by law they can't refer to it as mayo.
2) They are so full of themselves that their condiments should transcend ordinary descriptive norms. I think this is the real reason.
At least McDonald's still calls their Ketchup "Fancy Ketchup."
A friend and I once visited a Chili's Restaurant and were the only ones there when they opened. The hostess asked: "Smoking, non-smoking, or first available?"
I said, "It depends. What's the wait for non-smoking?"
It's a pet peave of mine when a preacher or other religious teacher uses the word "Faithfulness" but pronounces it like "Fatefulness"
Faithful = being a good Christian by following God's plan of salvation.
Fateful = Being on the S.S. Minnow stranded on Gilligan's Island.
Preachers also tend to be more likely to say "That's very unique." Well educated men who write theological books and can read ancient Greek must be quite unique.
I did something stupid with money, but it's not what you think.
When the U.S. State quarter program began, I was very interested, So much that I wanted to save every single one I got. After 2 or 3 years, I needed a place to put them all. Somehow, I decided to put about $20 of them in a mostly empty candle. This was not wise.
6 years later, I don't keep every state quarter I find. I just hold onto the first 3 or 4 real shiny ones of each state I get. While packing for my upcoming move, I found this candle with all the quarters in it. Over time, the wax would sometimes heat up, and the quarters would sink. Now, they are long from being collectible quality. In fact, they're all slimy and smelly.
I hate the thought of literally throwing away money, yet I don't want to turn these into a bank or spend them in a story. Obvious solution: vending machines. At work, I wanted a soda, I dropped a quarter in the slot and it stuck to the inside of the machine.
And, so did the next one.
Here's my latest T-Shirt Idea:
While looking for a new car, I went to the dealership and found a car that utilized a perpetual motion machine for its engine. The test drive went fine, but there were no brakes. I had to aim the car at the dealership and jump out the window.
Picture of the week: Fox's Donut Den sign
I went across the street to the top of a parking garage and took multiple images, and combined them to make this animated image. (it should look animated. If it doesn't, the problem's on your end.) It came out the way I wanted except for the power lines.
For those of you not familiar with the Donut Den, it's been a mainstay in Green Hills for over a couple of decades, a favorite with the Lipscomb and Hillsboro High School crowd. The Owner, Mr. Fox, used to be a Lipscomb University professor until the store became so popular, he had to run it full time.

Online graphics at the portuguese Publico
A short time ago (don't know exactly when) Público (the portuguese one) redesigned its webpage, converting it in one of the ost abicious of the lusitan country. A web that, as the print edition, has a Guardian look, althought te differences between webs are much bigger. In this new web version, the page includes an infographics section, somethig typical at the big spansih papers, but not so common at the anglosaxon news webs, where they come along in the multimedia section or just inside the related news.
Having an eye over the online graphics and not being an expert on this field myself, I have a bittersweet feeling (but sweeter than bitter). The big sweet point is to have done this section. But looking graphic by graphic my sensation is of irregularity. Mybe this come because I'm used to the great graphics by ELPAIS.com or elmundo.es. But they deserve more time. They've just started and that's more that what I could say.
Congratulations to our neighbours!

Marcial Ama y Perez
alias "Baby Ama"
Baby Ama's biography was filmed in the 1976 movie "Bitayin si Baby Ama" starring the late Rudy Fernandez and actress Alma Moreno. According to the film, he was jailed for stealing money to support a friend's education. Inside the prison, he was nicknamed "Baby" because of his youthful good looks.
He was abused, including sodomizing him repeatedly by the inmates. His pregnant wife was lured to a small hut by a prison guard and was raped. These events led traumatic experiences to the couple, to the point that Baby Ama's wife committed suicide.
Baby Ama's transformation broke by becoming a "hit man" and "SIGE SIGE" gang leader in his own prison mob. He disposed his tormentors and led the biggest jail-riot in Muntinlupa Penitentiary history. He was sentenced to death via electric chair in 1961 at the age of 16.
The movie "Anak ni Baby Ama" which starred Robin Padilla was not really Baby Ama's son, but another prisoner who also became a gang leader, and as with Baby Ama, was electrocuted for the same reason.
Leonardo Manecio
alias "Nardong Putik"
Nardong Putik was a Filipino gangster turned folk hero. An amulet-wielding hoodlum from Cavite province, Putik credited his ability to survive and escape numerous ambushes and gunfights to his anting-anting (amulet). Nardong Putik's ability to elude the law and his enemies made him a legend to many people.
Manecio's career started in the early 1950s when he participated in the Maragondon massacre where the mayor, police chief, and several policemen were killed with hunting knives. He was jailed as one of the suspects. Manecio escaped. Then his group encountered the group of Lt. Col. Laureano Marana, then Cavite PC commander. Marana and his men were killed on Election Day of 1957. Because of that incident, the biggest military operations in Cavite's history was launched against Manecio resulting in his wounding and capture in Binakayan, Kawit, on May 22, 1958.
After several years of detention at the Camp Crame stockade, he was sentenced to a total of 182 years and two months for the killing of Colonel Marana and his men. He was transferred to the national penitentiary in Muntinlupa, Rizal, where he escaped on October 31, 1969.
Manecio became Cavite's Public Enemy No. 1 again as he was able to organize a gang armed with modern weapons, including Armalites and AK-47s. His group engaged in carnapping, cattle rustling, planting and distribution of marijuana, smuggling, and other rackets, according to PC authorities.
Putik's life was made famous in the Philippines in the 1972 and 1984 movies Nardong Putik (Kilabot ng Cavite) which capitalized on the supposed incredible magic of Putik's anting-anting. The movies, which was loosely based on his life, depicted his anti-hero ways and was a very popular film in Filipino pop culture. Putik, in both movie versions, was played by Ramon Revilla, Sr., an action star turned politician, who was elected to the Philippine Senate and served from 1992–2004.
Warlito Toledo
alias "Waway"
Waway's life was made into movies like the 1984 Batuigas II: Pasukin si Waway which starred Rudy Fernandez and Johnny Delgado, and the 1993 Cesar Montano-starrer Alyas Waway.
Nicasio Salonga
alias "Asiong Salonga"
In the later part of the 40s and early part of the 50s, the name Asiong Salonga brought fears and chills to the residents of Tondo and its environs. Salonga, a dreaded and notorious gang leader, and the likes of Totoy Golem, Toothpick, Boy Zapanta and other toughies that time, Tondo became a bloodbath of gangland violence.
Sialonga was gunned down during a drinking session in 1951. He was only 27.
Nicasio Salonga, alias Asiong Salonga, 27, Tondo's No.1 "tough guy," reached the end of his shady career when he was shot and killed on Coral street, Tondo, at 5 p.m. yesterday. Apparently a victim of gangland vendetta and double-cross, Salonga toppled, mortally wounded in the head, from a sitting position atop a store counter at No.100 Coral down to the sidewalk gutters. A well-placed shot fired at close range from a Commando .38 caliber revolver by still unidentified assailant found its mark on Salonga's head, the bullet entering his left temple and coming out of his skull. He was taken to the St. Luke's hospital by his neighbors who saw him sprawled and bleeding in the gutters. Salonga died a few minutes after arriving at the hospital.
The police last night sought a certain Ernesto Reyes, identified as the alleged killer of Salonga. Several phone calls received by the police pointed to Reyes as the Tondo toughie's slayer. Reyes is a henchman of Carlos Capistrano, alias Totoy Golem. Up to early this morning, the police were making contacts to effect the surrender of Reyes. The alleged killer was expected to give himself up to the authorities.
Police reserves were rushed to the scene as precautionary measure to avert further flow of blood as the former's followers girded themselves to avenge their leader's death. Three men, one of them identified as Carlos Capistrano, alias Totoy Golem, were being sought by the police for questioning. Although investigators believed Salonga was a victim of gangland vendetta and double-cross, another angle, that politics was behind the killing, is being probed. It was learned that Salonga, formerly a rabid Liberal Party follower, had shifted his alliance to the Nacionalista Party lately.
Preliminary police investigation established that Salonga, Capistrano and the two others came from a baptismal party on Ricafort street. From the party, they went to the store owned by Apolonio Santos on Coral street where they continued drinking beer. Capistrano, whose bailiwick is San Nicolas, according to the police, had been feuding with Salonga, whose bailiwick is Tondo. Investigators presumed that when the two met at the party they decided to patch up their quarrel, hence Salonga invited Capistrano to a drinking spree. The circumstances preceding the killing, as pieced together by the police from reluctant witnesses, stated that Salonga, Capistrano and his two companions seated themselves in front of the store. Capistrano and his companions occupied a bamboo bench, while Salonga sat atop the store's counter. After downing several bottles of beer, Capistrano, apparently feeling sick, stood up and started vomiting. As if by a pre-arranged signal, one of his companions also stood up, backed up a few steps then pulled out the gun tucked in his waist and fired at Salonga once, then took to his heels losing himself in the maze of alleys in Tondo's slum area.
Salonga, a sanitary inspector, had several brushes with the law with 12 charges mostly for illegal possession of firearms. His name had been linked to several murder and homicide cases but somehow had always managed to squirm out.
The police arrested Ernesto Reyes, 27, of 235 Leonor Privado street, Tondo and no bail was recommended. He turned in the murder weapon, a .38 caliber Commando revolver. Reyes denied he shot Salonga intentionally and claimed it was an accident. He said his gun went off accidentally during his scuffle with one of Salonga's henchmen.
Grepor "Butch" Belgica
After the conviction, he spent the next eleven and a half years in the National Penetentiary.
He became one of the youngest gang leaders of the Philippine underworld; was radicalized and indoctrinated into a communist movement front organization.
He then started writing for various publications in prison and exposed the unjust systems practiced by prison authorities in the penitentiary.
Released in 1976, he was a changed man, not because prison life reformed him but because the Lord Jesus Christ found him and touched him.
He was called by God in an audible voice to proclaim His word.
In August 2008, Pastor Butch Belgica received his appointment from The Office of the President of the Philippines as Commissioner for Anti-Organized Crime.
Vicente "Bingbong" Singson-Crisologo
Bingbong, son of the Governor of Ilocos Sur used to make headlines terrorizing people in their province with guns, goons and gold. Eventually, he paid for his misdeeds in Muntinlupa when he was charged with double life imprisonment because of arson.
Vicente "Bingbong" Singson-Crisologo
During his stay in jail, the once notorious political terror was changed.
He is the incumbent congressman of the 1st congressional district of Quezon City, having served in the 13th congress of the Philippines and was re-elected and serves for the 14th congress.
Bingbong is the son of the late Floro Crisologo who was the representative of the Province of Ilocos Sur from 1961 until his assassination and death in 1972.
He is a maternal cousin of Luis "Chavit" Crisologo Singson who is the incumbent governor of Ilocos Sur.
