I am big fan of Allergic Living magazine, a Canadian-based 'zine that covers everything you need to know about living with allergies of all kinds and they devote a great deal of time to food allergies. Unlike some other allergy magazines out there, they don't dwell on gluten-and dairy-free eating--they always include nut allergies as a primary focus. It's the only magazine I know that really does this, so I love them for that. They also have a chart for air travel with peanut allergy that guides you on which airline to choose. Check their web site for details.

Right now, they have a 5th anniversary issue available--on newsstands in Canada, but if you live in the U.S. you may need to order it. I truly recommend a subscription! You can't afford to miss Allergic Living and what the awesome editor Gwen Smith brings to you. Follow Gwen and her magazine on Twitter!

The anniversary issue covers the future of food allergy--everything from a study of a hypoallergenic peanut to the use of Chinese herbs and their role in raising the threshold for allergic reactions. They also examine schools, workplaces, airlines and all public arenas and future policies for dealing with food allergy.

I hope you'll give Allergic Living a try. I realize that some of you may not know about it--so now you do. Let me know how you like it. I think you're going to wonder--as I did--how you lived without it!

Movie Synopsis

RAAVAN is not a story, it is a world.
Beera Munda – Undisputed, Unlawful, Untamed
Dev Pratap Sharma – The Punisher, The Law, The Righteous
Ragini – Conscience, Beauty, Music

Dev falls in love with Ragini, a spunky classical dancer who is as unconventional as him. They get married and he takes up his new post in Lal Maati, a small town in northern India,

A town where the word of law is not the police but Beera, a tribal who has, over the years, shifted the power equation of the place from the ruling to the have-nots of the area. Dev knows that the key to bringing order to any place is to vanquish the big fish; in this case – Beera. In one stroke Dev manages to rip open Beera’s word, and set in motion a chain of events which will claim lives, change fortunes.

Beera injured but engaged hits back starting a battle that draws Dev, Beera and Ragini into the jungle. The jungle which is dense, confusing, scary. And in this journey they must confront their own truth. A journey which will test their beliefs, convictions and emotions. Emotions which are as scary and confusing as the forest. The forest becomes the battleground. The battle between good and evil, between Dev and Beera, Between Ram and Raavan. But when the lines dividing good and evil are blurring fast whose side will you take. When hate turns to love and the good starts looking evil which side will you battle for? Love is a battle that nobody wins but everyone must fight. Even this Raavan.

Sienna's father Ed Miller with his ex wife Jo (L), current wife June (C) and second ex-wife Kelly Hoppen (R)







Guy Ritchie is rumored to be dating Kelly Hoppen. Hoppen is the former girlfriend of Nicky Clarke, the celebrity hairdresser. Hoppen, 49, actually met Guy Ritchie, 40, years ago but they have recently reconnected at a party.

A source said Hoppen was keener than Ritchie in developing their relationship. Hoppen has initiated the first move by inviting him to an exotic holiday location.

Kelly Hoppen was formerly married to Graham Corrett. Hoppen and Corrett had a daughter named Natasha, who is now 26. Kelly Hoppen was also once married to Ed Miller, a banker. Miller is the father of Sienna Miller. Kelly Hoppen once dated Sol Campbell, a football player.








It was the unlikely relationship that many thought could never last.
But the Daily Mail can reveal that computer tycoon Sir Clive Sinclair, 69, has secretly married his lap dancer fiancee Angie Bowness, who is 36 years his junior.
They have been engaged a year but have been seeing each other, on and off, for more than a decade.


The pair wed at the Civil Court in Las Vegas on April 16. The single witness is believed to have been a passer-by.
The inventor and Miss Bowness, 33, a former Miss England, had flown to the U.S. two days before and were staying at the luxurious Bellagio Hotel.
Before heading for the U.S., Sir Clive had bought a platinum wedding ring from jeweller Asprey.
Last night, Miss Bowness told the Mail: 'We're over the moon. We're very happy.'
Sir Clive said: 'I suggested on the plane that we get married. It was a spur of the moment thing.'
When asked what qualities attracted him to his future bride he replied: 'Well she is a former Miss England, isn't she.'
He added: 'We don't know where we will honeymoon yet - it's all been rather quick.'


On marrying at the age of 69, he said: 'I hadn't thought I'd get married at this stage'.
And, asked about the age gap between the pair, he replied: 'It's just an age gap. Our relationship works extremely well.'
According to sources, the vows were kept very simple because 'they just wanted to legally formalise their relationship'.
Last night, a friend of Miss Bowness said: 'Angie is absolutely over the moon to have married Sir Clive. And he's thrilled - he can't stop calling her My Lady.'
Indeed, Miss Bowness now takes the title of Lady Sinclair because of his life peerage.


She apparently wore a 'cute' short blue Alexander Wang dress for the ceremony and Christian Louboutin shoes. Sinclair, meanwhile, chose a suit.
