Manda, spayed female, 2 years old, 33 Lbs.
Manda was found at a mountain side. We didn't know where she was from and how long she had been there. But the good thing was she wagged her tail and initiatively came approaching to us for pet. We hang out with her for awhile and ready to leave. Manda followed us to the car, sat down and watched us getting into the car. Her eyes turned into sorrow that made us upset. By looking around the area, there weren't houses around. We started to think how she gonna survived. Not for too long, my partner and I opened the door, and Manada hopped in without a second thought.
After thorough physical checkup, Manda was amazingly healthy. She had vaccines on time. She was a little shy when first time meeting our dogs at home. But soon she got along well with them. She follows the rules and never gets into a flight. When we walk out, Manda is quite excited. She stays cautious to observe strangers. If they are friendly to her, she will come closer to make friends. Manda is right now in leashing training. She walks well but sometimes gets distracted by the sudden annoying sounds which make her nervous. Manda is not a picky eater. She stays calm when left along. She is a very submissive, cuddly and happy sweet young dog. She could be playful and fun being with doggie friends. Manda was born with optimistic nature. She surely would bring lots of joy to your family.

New England Blueberry Muffins
Recipe by mollypaul
A wonderful little bread bursting with berry goodness. From the New England chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.
Top Review by HokiesMom
Well I made these again since the first time I flubbed it up. These muffins should use only fresh blueberries - frozen makes the batter set up too quickly and makes the muffin too dense. With fresh berries, the flavor is fantastic and the muffins are light in texture and I LOVE the fact that there are so many blueberries within the muffin. Made for Camera-less Chef June 2008. Thanks for sharing Molly and for your patience with my first attempt the other day! :D

Advantages of a Saltech Remote Backup Solution
A Remote Backup Solution from Saltech does not require user intervention. The user does not have to change tapes, label CDs or perform other manual steps. The system also maintains data offsite. Perhaps the most important aspect of backing up is that backups are stored in a different location from the original data. Our system runs nightly, backing up all the files that have changed, and maintains a list of past versions of your files.
Opened File Backup
The ability to back up files that are extensively opened, such as Outlook files or SQL database files. Such ability allows IT administrators to run back up jobs any time of the day, not requiring setting aside server maintenance time.
A Multi-platform backup service can back up multiple platforms such as the various flavors of Windows, Macintosh, and Linux/UNIX.
Anytime Acces to Files
Some services allow you to access your backed up files via a normal web browser. Many tools do not provide this type of functionality.

If you don't have a website design strategy it's going to be very difficult to succeed. You need to be nimble so that you can adjust or enhance your company's attractiveness and effectiveness towards new customers by having a solid website design and marketing strategy. CD Media works with you to ensure that your website is not just a pretty brochure, but functions as a productive part of your business model. We work with you to ensure that your website has a tangible ROI that enables your business to grow and thrive.
When coming up with your website design or redesign, we ask specific questions (lots of them!) to make sure we get the complete picture and direction that we should take in designing the pages and structure that will help enhance your company and add to its bottom line. We do this in order to provide a streamlined work process, but it also helps us in determining website development costs and staying within your budget. Some of the concepts we'll work with you on include:
- What is the purpose of this website?
- What business need will it satisfy?
- Who is the target market?
- Who is your competition?
- How are you addressing social media in your business?
Website Redesign with Form AND Function
Your website design should be planned from the user's perspective, but executed from the business perspective. Form must always follow function, but only as part of a successful marketing and design plan that takes all of your needs and goals into consideration.
Every project needs a timeline and budget, and we strive to always stay within both. By working with you at the outset and developing a Requirements Definition document, you'll ensure that everything needed for the success of your website and maketing development plan is taken into account before the majority of the budgeted work begins.
Website Marketing and Search Engines
Marketing and designing your website (or redesigning an outdated website) has got to be the first thing on your list, not the last. Even a successful service-run business can see dramatic improvements through the use of some online marketing. Your products and services can be effectively brought to the attention of your target audience, be they customers or commercial B2B clients. CD Media can work with you to develop effective marketing methods and materials such as:
- Cross-promotion and banner advertising
- Sponsored search engine positioning and PPC
- Traditional marketing and print advertising
- Development of mailers and brochures
- Organic search engine placement

LGBT Rights
LGBT rights in Somalia fall under the scope of Somalia's federal laws. As such, homosexuality is illegal in the country and is punishable by imprisonment.[1]
Under Article 409 of the Somali Penal Code, introduced in 1973, sexual intercourse with a person of the same sex is punishable by imprisonment from three months to three years. An "act of lust" other than sexual intercourse is punishable by a prison term of two months to two years. Under Article 410 of the Somali Penal Code, an additional security measure may accompany sentences for homosexual acts, usually coming in the form of police surveillance to prevent re-offending.[2]
Family planning services are hard to access as is fact based information on human sexuality. Humanitarian workers have stated that Islamic social mores often make it difficult to publicly talk about how the virus can be spread.[3]
Since 1999, much of the AIDS/HIV education and care has come from international organizations such as United Nations.[4]
Despite the apparent lack of information regarding HIV/AIDS, only 0.5% of the population has been infected by the virus.[5]
LGBT organizationsEdit
In 2004, one group reportedly existed for LGBT people in Somalia.[6]

The New Hampshire Senate
Republican Majority Office
Hampton, NH – Senator Nancy Stiles (R-Hampton) today congratulated the NH Department of Resources and Economic Development for making great progress on the Hampton North Beach Seawall Project this year, and looked forward to the Seawall's completion in 2015.
Crews from DRED's Division of Parks and Recreation have halted work on the $4.7 million reconstruction project for the winter, but anticipate finishing the work early next year. Stiles has worked for years to make repair of the Seawall a top priority, and a recent winter storm proved how critical it was to complete the project.
"I'm pleased that reconstruction of the Hampton Seawall will finally be completed in 2015," Stiles said. "This project is not only important for public safety, but keeping Ocean Boulevard open is vital to the local and regional economy."
DRED Parks Director Phillip Bryce says depending on the weather, crews could be back to work as early as March, and plan on completing the Seawall Project by June 15th. DRED has responsibility to maintain the 12-foot high Seawall, which was first built in the 1930's. This project marks the first major repairs on the North Beach Seawall since then.
"We greatly appreciate the support of the Legislature, and especially the support and leadership of Senator Stiles, so we could finish the project in 2015," Bryce added. "As a result, we were able to save over a million dollars."
A 140-foot section of the seawall was severely damaged in December 2012, leaving Ocean Boulevard vulnerable to flooding and storm surge. Stiles authored an amendment to the 2013 Capital Budget to secure $4.7 million to complete repairs, half coming from the Capital Budget itself and the other half coming from revenues from parking meters on Hampton Beach.

Breast Augmentation with or without lift? (Photos)
Doctor Answers 24
Breast implants with lift
You appear to be a borderline candidate for just placing an implant. If you are concerned about the scars from a breast lift you can certainly do a breast augmentation and wait a few months to allow for settling of the implants to determine if a lift is needed. Then, at a second stage, a breast lift can be done in a more predictable way. I realize that most patients just want one surgery, but in some cases, it's best to "stage" the procedures in two separate operations for a better cosmetic result and fewer complications. Consult with a few plastic surgeons in person for a more detailed exam as the angle with which these photos appears to be slightly different from the front view and the side view.
Best wishes,
Definitely Augmentation with a Lift
Thank you for your photos. You will do very well with this procedure but you will need a lift.
The breast implants will sit at and above the breast fold. An implant can not raise the nipple position significantly and so an augmentation alone will exaggerate the low nipple position.
I want to point out what you have done with your photos. The side view of the breast shows a much higher nipple
position than the view from the front. This is because you are raising your arms which has the effect of raising the nipple position. What you see in the side view is the nipple over the most projecting part of the breast and most of the breast is above the breast fold. This can only be accomplished with a lift.
Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate you and take measurements of your breasts. These measurements will dictate an appropriate volume implant to give you the look you desire.
Good luck and I hope this was helpful

You are best suited for breast augmentation with mastopexy. Breast implants alone will create a suboptimal result.

Breast lift with implants
Thank you for your question. You seem to be a good candidate for a breast lift with implants. This procedure will reshape and give you the volume you desire. Unfortunately, if you opt for implants alone, you most likely will not be happy with the outcome as implants can only supply a very minimal lift. I recommend undergoing Vectra 3D Imaging to get an idea of your post-procedural results. You need to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for precise recommendations.

Breast Lift and Augmentation
Hello, thanks for sharing your inquiry and your pictures. My thoughts are that you need a breast lift and you might or might not add volume depending in your desires.
Please make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page. Don't forget to discuss all your concerns, options and expectations thoroughly. Have a safe and pleasant PS Journey!
Dr. Jaime Campos-Leon
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
The right size for you
It is very difficult to determine the best lift you will need (recommended based on your photos) or the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast "foot print". Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let's say a 300 cc implant to make her go from a "A" cup to a "C" cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. The same process goes for just filling in the upper part of your breast without becoming much larger. Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn't work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using "want to be" photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the link below including silicone vs saline implants
Learn more: http://drnichter.com/breast-augmentation/
Breast Augmentation with or without lift?
Thank you for your question. From your photos, you would benefit from adding a lift to your augmentation. A breast lift and augmentation surgery is commonly performed during one operation, but has a lower revision rate when the two operations are separated. Careful examination and measurements in the office help decide whether a one-stage, or two-stage operation would be recommended. Giving recommendations about the implant size is impossible over the web. Implant sizing depends on your goal look, and your breast measurements. In person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will give you the opportunity to pick the perfect implant to achieve your goals.
Learn more: https://www.drhayescosmeticsurgery.com/a-twenty-four-hour-breast-augmentation-recovery.html
Do I need a lift
No question in my mind, you need a lift as well as an implant. If you only get implants, your breasts will never appear right.
Breast augmentation and lift question
Hello and thank you for the question and the photos. I would suggest that you need both a lift and implants. The degree of sagging or loose skin will require the lift. Although a breast implant does help lift the skin, since it fills up some of the loose skin, it will not be enough to fully lift your breasts.
As far as size is concerned, this is best determined in person. Your measurements and goal size will determine the best size options for you.
You should have several consultations with board certified plastic surgeons before making any final decisions.
As always, best to be healthy, no smoking, and make sure any health concerns you have are managed by your primary care md.
Best to you.
Breast aug with or without lift
It is really helpful to include your pictures, thank you. The best option for you will be a lift procedure with an appropriately sized implant. In order for you to achieve a desired breast appearance with implants alone, a very large implant will have to be chosen which is a BIG mistake in the long run. You will have a much better result with a lift and implant. It's hard to give you a "cc" number without knowing your current breast measurements and your desired size. Talk to your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon about your goals. Good luck.

Nobody's safe
That's what Kevin Short says about the leaders in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Northern Open race to the 2011 Bassmaster Classic — and he is one of the leaders.
"It's amazing how tight the points are. I think Ryan (Michigan's Ryan Said) has a pretty good lead on everybody, but I have to say even he's not safe. I say nobody's safe," Short said heading into the season finale next week on the Chesapeake Bay, from which the Northern's two Classic qualifiers will emerge.
As the Northern's No. 5, Short will be taking a second shot at the 2011 Classic after failing to qualify through the 2010 Bassmaster Elite Series.
He has, by his reckoning, two chances. His 502 points from the Northern's first two events puts him only 10 points behind the No. 2 angler, Wisconsin's Travis Manson. But even the 83 points he lacks on leader Said does not scare Short.
"The way the points are, you could have a mediocre event and you could be gone, you could be wiped completely out," he said. "A couple of guys in the 6th through 10th spots could finish in the top two or three, and … that's your two Classic qualifiers."
Short likes his chances on the Chesapeake.
"I'm actually pretty excited about going up there," Short said. "It's more along the lines of the way I like to fish, (compared to) the smallmouth fishing we've had to do."
Short said he has competed on the bay only one other time, at the April 2009 Northern Open, where he finished 17th. Conditions included cold water, sparse grass and a big field of anglers. An end-of-season tournament reverses all that, he pointed out.
Hosted by Cecil County, Md., the Sept. 16-18 Northern Open will take place out of Anchor Boats Marina in North East.
Federation Nation anglers go for it
Just about any angler would give up their Labor Day barbecue to go bass fishing. That goes double for those competing in this week's BASS Federation Nation Mid-Atlantic Divisional out of locations in Delaware and Maryland.
After their Monday and Tuesday practice on the Nanticoke River, the anglers will compete Wednesday-Friday, Sept. 8-10, for the right to advance to the BASS Federation Nation Championship, coming up Oct. 27-29 on the Red River out of Shreveport-Bossier City, La. The championship will narrow the field further to six, the only Federation Nation anglers to compete in the 2011 Bassmaster Classic in February.
Junior Bassmaster anglers will also compete on the Nanticoke, joining the adults Sept. 10. Junior qualifiers will be vying to advance to their championship on a date and at a location to be announced soon.
Last year's Mid-Atlantic Divisional winner was Jeff Freeman of Max Meadows, Va., who also led his state to victory over five other state teams. This year the Virginia team will defend its title against the teams of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Delaware and Maryland, each composed of 13 to 14 anglers.
This week's divisional competitors will take off out of Phillips Landing in Laurel, Del. Daily weigh-ins will be at the Gander Mountain store, 2410 N. Salisbury Blvd., Salisbury, MD 21801.
After this week's event, only one more Federation Nation Championship-qualifying event will remain: the Sept. 22-24 Eastern Divisional on Candlewood Lake out of Danbury, Conn.
BASS mags win awards
All three of the magazines published by BASS Publications in Celebration, Fla., won top prizes in the 2010 Florida Magazine Association competition.
Flagship publication Bassmaster won a Charlie (a gold) in the "Upfront Column" category for the editorials written by Editor James Hall and designed by Bassmaster head designer Laurie Tisdale. Bassmaster also won a bronze award for Jonathan H. Milo's illustration, "Bass Basics: Catch Bass on Small Crankbaits."
BASS Times garnered a Charlie for excellence for senior writer Robert Montgomery's piece, "New Threats to Angler Rights." Writers Steve Price and David Jones won for their "2010 Classic Preview" work. BASS Conservation director Chris Horton's BASS Times column won a bronze award.
Trade publication Fishing Tackle Retailer won a Charlie in the "Best Department" category for the monthly presentation of "What's Hot, Where," compiled by Ken Freel. The magazine's head designer, Holly Julien, won a Charlie for "Best Single, Original Color Photo."
Julien shared silver honors with writers Darl Black, Louie Stout and Mike Pehanich in the Writing Excellence competition. They won for "You Should Be Selling," a product review feature. Another silver was taken by Editor Ronell Smith for his "You're Kidding…Right" editorial.
Fishing Tackle Retailer also won two bronze awards. One was for an illustration by Mile, and the other was for a cover design by Julien.
Scores of publications based in Florida were entered in the awards program, including Islands, Healthy Living, Florida Wildlife, Golfweek and Bonnier publications, such as Sport Fishing.

GEORGE CLOONEY wants to have DRINKS with BLAKE SHELTON!
Blake Shelton is tickled to find out that George Clooney knows who he is. George said that he really liked him on The Voice. The reporter even mentioned that the two should get together for drinks sometime. Blake says, "Well, I'm up for that, George. Let's do it! We'll go drink together. Bring that pig… I've heard about it!" He was referring to George's pet pot-bellied pig Max, who died back in 2006. Whoops!

April 8, 2013
Back in early February, goalkeeper Rebecca Holden was named to the United States' Under-19 Junior National Squad. The selection process began last summer at the 2012 National Futures Championship and Futures Elite Championship. In total, 102 athletes were selected from both events to attend the Junior National Camp, presented by Longstreth, and held at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, July 9-12, 2012. At the camp, athletes received daily tactical sessions from some of the top field hockey coaches in the country, followed by test matches in the evening.
From the Junior National Camp, a select number of athletes were invited to attend a winter training camp at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. Following the winter training camp, eighteen under-17 athletes and eighteen under-19 athletes were selected to represent the U.S. Junior National Squads on an international tour in the Netherlands.
The team had an eight-day stay in the Netherlands, playing five games including taking on the Dutch Junior National Team. Holden sat down with VirginiaSports.com to talk about the experience.
The team was selected in February. How much time did you have playing together before having to play together as a team?
Once we got there, we did two days of training before we did competitions. That way we could figure out everyone's positions and the flow and where we needed to be before we jumped in and starting playing some Dutch teams.
How did the team fare?
We were 2-1-2, which I am happy. It would have been nice to have those two other wins instead of the ties. The only team we lost to was the Dutch National Team. That score was 4-1. It was a good match. It was a friendly, so we played three 20-minute thirds. It was exciting! At the end, we did a shootout under the new rules with the eight-seconds to score from the 25. We ended up winning the shootout. We lost the match but won the shootout. As a goalkeeper, that is exciting! Myself and the other goalkeeper there, Shannon Johnson, we split them, so we each did three. We each got two saves to get the win. Holding our own against Dutch teams, I can be happy.
What were some of the take-aways you have from playing with the US Junior National Team on this trip?
This was my first time being on one of the Junior National Teams. It was a great experience because it showed me what was expected of the National Team in an introductory way. It was `Here is your itinerary. This is the dress code. This is what we expect. This is international play. This is how you conduct yourself.' It was a really exciting experience to be able to play against a level of athlete such as the Dutch. Their team won the gold medal at the Olympics. While we were there, we were watching these five-year-old girls and boys shooting on goal, doing reverse shots better than high school students here can. It was awesome to see that culture and see the level of commitment they have from an early age to get to the highest level.
I have aspirations of going to the Olympics and trying to get on those teams, so going to Amsterdam and being on this team and playing with those girls and wearing the USA jersey and performing well against international teams was a huge step in the right direction. It helped me with my confidence. And it also made me feel I can bring that confidence here to UVa and I can step up my game at UVa. I can bring that to other USA events that I have to do to get to the U-21 team. Now I move up in age group to U-21, which is intense because that is collegiate and post-collegiate. We'll see what happens with that. Training sessions to get to the tournament and tryouts for that squad begin this month. That's the next step to keep progressing.
What was the biggest difference in the hockey that you saw?
I noticed a big difference in watching the goalkeepers that they stay back on the line of the goal line more than we do. That puzzled me because you are giving them more angle. It's against everything I have ever learned in terms of goalkeeping and what Annie Zinkavich has told me to do. It was a different style of goalkeeping. The biggest difference in the hockey overall was the intensity of it, especially with the Dutch U-18 team when we were playing them. The intensity and their effectiveness on shooting and executing give-and-goes and passes is seamless. They just do it. It's a lot faster.
When I was playing in-cage for the Dutch U-18 game, the ball would be over there and it would be fine and suddenly the ball was on the other side and a girl was one-timing it and the shot was coming at my face. It is a much faster game and it was exciting. It was good to be introduced to a faster style of play because we see that at the collegiate level against certain teams, but I don't think we see THAT intensity. They were `I have the ball. I'm in the circle. I'm shooting no matter what.' They were taking high-risk shots all the time. It was a `go for the risk to get the reward' style of play in the relentless way they were playing. It was exciting and a little intimidating being in that, but it was also eye-opening.
Did you get to do any sightseeing?
Five days into the trip, on a Wednesday, we went to Amsterdam. We went on a canal tour, so we got to see some of the Dutch harbors and the canals that were built up during the Dutch Golden Age. A lot of things that they used to do in the 15th century, they still do now. When they want to get a refrigerator or a couch into the second story of an apartment building, they put a pulley system up, like they did in the 1400's, and they pull it up and into the window. It is exciting to see that, especially since I had learned about that last semester in one of my history courses.
We went to the Anne Frank House, which was incredible. Just being there and seeing the small spaces... Myself and Alyssa Parker from Maryland were going through the exhibit together and we stopped and just listened. And it was so loud, the people walking around. It was incredible that they lived and survived for two years in that environment of having to not move at all. We saw the pencil markings on the wall where the kids were growing up and they were marking where their height was. It was heartbreaking.
We went to an authentic Dutch restaurant where we had potato chips that smelled like fish but tasted like air. The chicken was cooked in some sort of peanut sauce, which was strange. The French fries were delicious. There was also some sort of sauerkraut.
We went on a huge ride almost as tall as a Ferris wheel. You are strapped into these seats that spin while the wheel is spinning. That was intense.

Basic Essentials for Stocking the Gluten-Free Pantry
Diagnosis & Change in Lifestyle
Have you been diagnosed as having a wheat or gluten allergy? Do you have celiac disease? Life after being recently diagnosed with wheat or gluten allergies, or having been diagnosed with celiac disease, can be very overwhelming. You've been told to avoid all foods containing these ingredients, and are now faced with eating rice cakes the rest of your life. But your new diagnosis doesn't mean a life of doing without the good foods you love. How do I know? Several years ago I was diagnosed with allergies to wheat, barley and oats, and told to stay away from these completely. The time just after the diagnosis was one of the hardest in my life. But with self-education and research I've been able to maintain a very good diet with no wheat or gluten, for eight years, now.
I would like to share with you advice on how to start out on your journey of living a wheat- and gluten-free life. It can be done! The process of changing over from a wheat and gluten lifestyle, to wheat- and gluten-free takes time and education, but once you're established, Life goes back to a new normal, allowing you to have your favorite foods by using alternative ingredients. With trial and error you will learn how to make fabulous dishes for your whole family. Now, I would like to concentrate on the steps leading you to buy the basic contents of a well-stocked wheat- and gluten-free pantry.
My Favorite Gluten-Free Cookbook
Assessing your Allergies & Self-education
The first job you have is going through and making a list of all the ingredients you've been told are now off your menu. My allergists have always given me an extensive list of allergens that make me sick. This list includes everything from foods and spices to pollen and dust mites. Go through your known allergy list and make note of those food ingredients you must avoid. It is very important to completely avoid these ingredients and foods in order for you to stay healthy. This is not something I'm writing lightly. There are a number of allergens on my own food list that I dearly love, including apples and cinnamon, along with wheat, barley and oats. After taking these foods and ingredients out of my diet, my heart sank as these foods are in most everything I enjoy eating. I know exactly how it feels to lose some favorites, including wheat, etc. Life takes on a dismal hue at this point, and you wonder how on earth it will be possible to live on this new, restricted diet. But don't give up—keeping reading! Life will get better again!
Learning how to read ingredient labels, the next step in establishing your wheat- and gluten-free pantry, is an education and an art. At this point, I would recommend finding very good books about wheat- and gluten-free diets. One of the first books I came across has become my cooking "bible," and this is a cookbook by Bette Hagman called The Gluten-Free Gourmet: Living Well without Wheat, Revised Edition.
The Gluten-Free Gourmet offers great recipes, but the book also offers a great list of common ingredients that actually contain wheat (though these ingredients are often called by other names) or have wheat in them. These "hidden" wheat and gluten ingredients can be the undoing of your health, so careful label reading is a must when grocery shopping. The Gluten-Free Gourmet also offers advice on how to travel and eat-out with wheat and gluten allergies. The author also offers lists of companies you can find online to buy products for your new diet. Bette Hagman's book started me out on the journey of cooking with alternative ingredients. Her recipes are not only easy to follow, but are also very delicious. This book is a great starting point on your wheat- and gluten-free lifestyle.
Now that you've made a list of the ingredients and foods you must avoid on your new diet, the next step is to actually begin stocking your pantry with the foods you can eat. Read all labels very carefully and you'll have a safe and wonderful diet rich in your favorite foods.
Yes! This is possible!
One Note Before You Shop
Re-stocking your pantry, after allergy testing, appears to be daunting at first. Reading labels, searching out exactly what the ingredient labels mean, and then shopping is all quite a bit of work. You will truly receive an education just by reading labels and learning exactly what is in the food you're eating. Actually, when I first began reading labels I was dismayed by all the extra ingredients that go into our food; ingredients that aren't really necessary, except to preserve taste and freshness. The process of reading labels led me to cooking from scratch. Also, eight years ago, it was more difficult to find pre-packaged cookies, meals, etc. for a wheat- and gluten-free diet.
Cooking from scratch puts you in complete control of what goes into you food and into your body. Preservatives, salt and other unhealthy ingredients are cut down in your food. Not only is the food healthier for you, but also for your family. Most of the dishes in each meal, at our house, are usually completely wheat- and gluten-free. This is because cooking double of everything is both time-consuming and expensive. Most of the meals I cook taste as good as the "real" versions of these dishes. It took trial and error (insert the word "experiments") to reach this point, but it can be done. Learning to cook from scratch is also a bit overwhelming for those who are have very busy schedules and have family members to also take care of. With time, experience and research you will once again be able to shop and cook efficiently knowing your food is good, healthy and safe for you to eat.
However, if you're just not up to cooking from scratch, there is a wonderful variety of pre-packaged foods now readily available for wheat- and gluten-free diets. You can find many items—from cookies and crackers to breads and more—at health food stores, and even at most grocery stores. So, you don't have to cook from scratch—you also have the option of cooking with pre-packaged foods!
Reading Food Labels
Gluten-free Pre-Packaged Foods
Stocking Your Pantry
Now you have your allergen list (food and ingredients you must avoid) in hand it's time to visit the grocery or health food stores to find what you will need to have to re-stock your pantry. What are the basics needed for a well-stocked wheat- or gluten-free pantry? The list is pretty much the same as for a regular wheat kitchen, but you will need to have a few different ingredients. Here's a list of items most pantries stock as basics (does not include refrigerated or frozen foods):
Alternative Flours. It is best to start out with rice flour and then move on to experiment with other alternative flours. This is because the rice flour is usually the least expensive and the easiest to find in health food and grocery stores. And rice flour, in my experience, was the easiest to use when I started out on this journey. Otherwise, there are so many alternative flours to try that you will never grow tired of experimenting with new textures and flavors.
Vinegar. Distilled, white vinegar is the safest for those who need to avoid wheat and gluten in their diets. Do not use if the ingredient label includes "malt." Also, if you are allergic to apples, stay away from cider vinegar. Otherwise, most flavored vinegars (made from distilled vinegar) are safe.
Oils. Most oils are safe for those on a wheat and gluten restricted diet. Be sure to read the labels for any allergens that might be used to flavor the oils. Basic oils recommended for cooking are extra virgin olive oil and sunflower oil, or canola oil.
Spices. Some spices include wheat in order to keep the spice from clumping together and to add texture. Try to buy only from manufacturers who use straight spices with no other added ingredients. Of course, if you're like me and have a spice you're allergic to (cinnamon in my case), avoid that spice all together.
Worcestershire and Soy Sauces, Ketchup. Unfortunately, these sauces, including Ketchup, do contain wheat. However, it is possible to find safe versions of these sauces to use in your cooking. Look for brands that are wheat- and gluten-free. These brands are most often found at specialty stores, such as health food stores or online stores catering specifically to those who must avoid wheat and gluten.
Other cooking and baking
staples. Other cooking and baking staples include
baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla.
Who would have thought these staples might contain wheat? But they often do. The wheat is used as a stabilizer. Again, you
must read labels and find those products that are wheat- and gluten-free. You can find these at health food stores,
some grocery stores, and online stores catering specifically to those who must
avoid wheat and gluten. And don't forget to add either xanthan or guar gum to your wheat- and gluten-free pantry. These are added to certain recipes as a binder (to replace the gluten), and they also offer a bit smoother texture to baked goods.

Do you live a gluten-free life? How do you manage?
Excellent hub, you might also want to add the spelling variation "coelic", as this is how we write it in Europe ;-) SY
I haven't gave up the gluten yet. Baby steps.
This is an excellent article! I know I have a problem with wheat from my own trial and error experiment but the NHS in this country won't send me for tests and I can't figure what else it is that causes me such discomfort. It doesn't happen every day any more (thankfully) since I cut wheat out of my diet.
@Successful Living
Revisiting this hub again after some time, one additional tip, you also might want to put text links in to the books etc you recommend, not just Amazon capsules or link capsules, just link the anchor text also ;-) SY
Thanks!! I've been told that the cheapest and most effective way to test for celiac is to go on the gluten free diet for a while to see if I'll feel better. I haven't done so because I get so overwhelmed. I voted this Hub Up and Useful.

Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife.
This seven year old house is located on the St. George Tidal River and is surrounded on three sides by water. Just a short drive to Port Clyde, Camden and Rockland. There is a large deck, excellent for outdoor entertaining. The house has lots of windows with water views. The 3.8 acre property provides lots of privacy and scenic beauty with 1600 feet of shore frontage to explore.
I'm an avid traveler but always enjoy returning home to Tenants Harbor and my home on the peninsula. In 2006-07 I built the house with the help of local friends and contractors. The idea was to create a space that was welcoming in all seasons, with views from as many spaces as possible, and a layout that made visits from friends easy and comfortable.
Mike Metivier purchased this house in 2007
I spent summers in Tenants Harbor (from upstate NY) and we enjoyed it so much that now most of my immediate family has settled in the area. The location of the property is unique in that it is surrounded by water on three sides. With the exception of the small guestroom, all windows have a water view. It's a special place: very relaxing but also great for entertaining.
We loved everything about this property and our stay. The location is picture perfect and the home is modern, clean and so comfortable. We love that this setting is secluded yet convenient to attractions and the town. We love our time in Maine and this is our favorite location by far. Mike is a wonderful person to rent from! We had our 1 1/2 and 4 1/2 year old and the house was perfect for them as well. In fact, our 4 1/2 year old wanted to give our rating 6 stars and said 5 wasn't enough! We will be back!
Beautiful and comfortable home with peaceful, scenic views - perfect for a relaxing birthday weekend! Seller was also very accommodating to a change in our arrival plans. Would love to stay here again someday!
Four of us (two couples) rented this house for a week in mid October. It was great! It is located on a small peninsula on an inlet from the sea with water on three sides. In summer, it would be great to kayak (two tandems with the house) on the protected bay, but we were there for the leaves. The house is well located to area villages and sights (6 miles south of Thomaston; 10 miles south of Rockland; 15 miles south of Camden; 12 miles west of Owls Point lighthouse; 3 miles north of Tenants Harbor; 10 miles north of Port Clyde and Marshall Point lighthouse). There is a cafe in each of Thomaston, Tenants Harbor and Port Clyde and a number of great restaurants in Rockland and Camden. There is a hiking trail 2 miles to the north, several 3 - 6 mile loops in Thomaston and access in Thomaston to a 50 mile trail that goes along the coast.
The house is well laid out with a large living area, nice den and adequate kitchen and eating area. The high ceilings and really large windows let in a lot of light that provide nice atmosphere. The three upstairs bedrooms (master suite on rear; two bedrooms on front with shared hall bath) are well laid out with two having water views. Mike, owner, met us and contacted us several times during our stay to make certain all was well. Overall, great house and one we highly recommend for couples, friends or family.
Beautifully constructed house on a point of land facing an inlet from the St George River (saltwater). Neighbors are close by, but you can't see them and seldom hear them. You get the feeling of being in an isolated location - yet you can be in downtown Rockland in 20 minutes. Exceptionally furnished and well equipped. One of the best places we have rented in over 20 years of renting on the Maine coast.
My family and I just spent one wonderful week at this property. The house is outfitted with everything one would ever need to have the perfect vacation! Such a lovely home with a 3 sided view of the water and easy access to it. Great for making somores on the rocks or kayaking (which comes with the rental) or steaming lobsters. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and upon returning to Tenant's Harbor, the most lovely place in Maine, would look no further and rent the same property again!
Pick up some lobsters and enjoy them on the deck while looking at the water view. Catch the boat to Monhegan Island from the end of the peninsula and look for puffins. Go clamming in the tidal flats at low tide or go for a paddle (3 kayaks included with the house) at high tide, without leaving the property. Go blueberry or blackberry picking. Take a nap in the hammock. Enjoy a sunset sail out of Camden or live music in Rockland. This is Andrew Wyeth country...experience the subjects of his work all around you and then see his work at the Farnsworth Museum. Go antiquing down country roads. Shop for fresh produce at a local farmers market. Go for a scenic bike ride. Fish for squid off the pier in Port Clyde. Explore a nature trail and seek out the fairie houses unique to the area. Hike Mt. Battie and then cool off with a swim in Megunticook Lake. See an independent film at the Theater in Rockland. Play golf. The list is long...

Hi I have just completed teeth whitening at home using Zoom 6% HP. I used a 3 syringe pack over approximately 2 weeks. I'm happy with results but was wondering if I could continue perhaps increase grade to 9%HP to achieve a whiter result. this is the first time I've tried whitening. Would it be safe for me to to it again so soon?
How Often Can I Repeating Teeth Whitening?
Doctor Answers 2
How Many Times can I Whien My Teeth With Tooth Bleaching?
Like anything in life, there can be a point that you get too much of a good thing. In general I wouldn't be concerned if you went through the bleaching process a few more times, and touched it up a couple times with tray bleaching every 3-6 months after your routine cleaning. One of the signs and symptoms of too much bleaching is tooth sensitivity, thus your body will start telling when to lay off.
There are very resistant circumstances (blue, gray or brown tetracycline discoloration)where patients bleach their teeth for 3-6 months. Even though I had yet to hear of any problems with these patients, excessive bleaching could always potentially cause so need for root canals, external or internal resoprtion. Thus, just try to use good judgment and don't over do it...ok?

A smartphone-supported weight loss program: design of the ENGAGED randomized controlled trial
Health behavior, health promotion and society
Obesity remains a major public health challenge, demanding cost-effective and scalable weight management programs. Delivering key treatment components via mobile technology offers a potential way to reduce expensive in-person contact, thereby lowering the cost and burden of intensive weight loss programs. The ENGAGED study is a theory-guided, randomized controlled trial designed to examine the feasibility and efficacy of an abbreviated smartphone-supported weight loss program.
Ninety-six obese adults (BMI 30–39.9 kg/m2) will be randomized to one of three treatment conditions: (1) standard behavioral weight loss (STND), (2) technology-supported behavioral weight loss (TECH); or (3) self-guided behavioral weight loss (SELF). All groups will aim to achieve a 7% weight loss goal by reducing calorie and fat intake and progressively increasing moderate intensity physical activity to 175 minutes/week. STND and TECH will attend 8 group sessions and receive regular coaching calls during the first 6 months of the intervention; SELF will receive the Group Lifestyle Balance Program DVD's and will not receive coaching calls. During months 1–6, TECH will use a specially designed smartphone application to monitor dietary intake, body weight, and objectively measured physical activity (obtained from a Blue-tooth enabled accelerometer). STND and SELF will self-monitor on paper diaries. Linear mixed modeling will be used to examine group differences on weight loss at months 3, 6, and 12. Self-monitoring adherence and diet and activity goal attainment will be tested as mediators.
ENGAGED is an innovative weight loss intervention that integrates theory with emerging mobile technologies. We hypothesize that TECH, as compared to STND and SELF, will result in greater weight loss by virtue of improved behavioral adherence and goal achievement.
Trial registration
Obesity remains a pressing public health problem. Approximately 36% of adults in the United States are obese (Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2)
The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) intensive lifestyle intervention, which targets decreasing caloric and fat intake and increasing moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity, has been successful in producing clinically significant weight loss and reducing the incidence of diabetes in pre-diabetic adults
Technology and weight loss interventions
Technology-based interventions hold great promise as a mechanism for disseminating efficacious weight loss programs to a broader portion of the population via a cost-effective, scalable platform
New generation handheld technologies have the potential to overcome many of the limitations of internet-based health behavior change interventions
Theoretical framework
The conceptual basis for the ENGAGED study is Carver and Scheier's control systems theory (CST) of self-regulation
Using CST as a guiding framework, ENGAGED will develop a persuasive, interactive smartphone application designed improve the saliency, timeliness, and accuracy with which participants receive feedback on their daily dietary and activity goals. Participants will monitor dietary intake and wear a Bluetooth-enabled accelerometer to receive real-time feedback on objectively measured physical activity. Persuasively designed goal thermometers on the application will display current behavior and goals to highlight behavior-goal discrepancies. We posit based on CST that the experience of receiving consistent and immediate feedback from the ENGAGED technology should reinforce adherence to self-monitoring and healthy behavior change, both during and after in-person treatment ends.
Social networks, peer support, and weight loss
Research on social networks and weight has elicited promising results. Christakis and Fowler
The ENGAGED study will utilize technology that enhances social networking capabilities on a smartphone application to promote the development and maintenance of a positive social network. The application will allow teammates who have been incentivized to help each other via a group weight loss competition to view each others' adherence to daily self-monitoring goals. Additionally, the application allows team members to communicate with each other via private message board or peer-to-peer messaging. By capitalizing on team-based performance incentives and enabling team building through the ENGAGED social networking technology, we aim to extend support, encouragement, and accountability for behavioral change, between and after in-person group sessions.
Study aims
Guided by CST and social networks research, the ENGAGED study will evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a technology-supported weight loss program for obese adults. Specifically, the primary aim of the ENGAGED study is to conduct a three-group randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of the ENGAGED technology-supported behavioral weight loss program, as compared to the same program delivered using standard paper and pencil self-monitoring, and self-guided behavioral weight loss supported by participants receiving DVD's depicting DPP treatment. Primary outcomes include: (1) weight loss and (2) behavioral adherence, which is operationalized by (a) self-monitoring of diet and activity and (b) attainment of diet and activity goals. As a secondary outcome, the time spent administering the intervention by lifestyle coaches will also be examined to assess intervention costs. The second aim of the ENGAGED study is to test whether the weight loss in the technology-supported condition is mediated by behavioral adherence to self-monitoring and achievement of diet and activity goals.
We hypothesize that using a theory-guided, technology-supported weight loss treatment will result in clinically significant weight loss with fewer in-person sessions by preserving regular social support, accountability, and feedback via mobile technology. Further, we hypothesize that technology-supported weight loss treatment will result in greater weight loss compared to the traditional paper self-monitoring approach.
Study design
The research design is a 3 × 4 factorial with one between subjects factor (treatment condition) with three levels and one within subjects factor (time) with four levels (baseline, 3-, 6-, and 12-months). Participants will be randomized to one of three groups: a) Standard behavioral weight loss program (STND); b) technology-supported behavioral weight loss program (TECH); or c) self-guided behavioral weight loss program (SELF).
A total of 96 participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria listed in Table
Recruitment and screening process
All study procedures are approved by the Institutional Review Board at Northwestern University. Participants will be recruited via flyers and advertisements in local newspapers and on public transportation. Interested candidates will be directed to a study website which includes study-related information and an online screening questionnaire to assess initial eligibility. Figure
Figure 1
ENGAGED Study Screening Flowchart
ENGAGED Study Screening Flowchart.
Online screening
Participants will complete an initial online consent process prior to completing the online screener, which assesses height and weight, physical activity readiness, group session availability, and exclusionary weight loss practices (i.e. participation in a weight loss program or use of weight loss medications). Study staff will contact eligible participants within 1–4 days of completing an online screener to conduct a telephone screen.
Telephone screening
The telephone screen will review details of the study and review additional eligibility criteria including health status and medication use. Eligible and interested participants will be invited to attend a study orientation session and will be instructed to begin a one-week run-in period of dietary self-monitoring. If participants indicate a health condition such as type II diabetes or hypertension, medical clearance from a physician will be required prior to the pretreatment session in order to continue participation.
In-person orientation session
During the orientation session, complete details of the study will be given and an equipoise induction will be performed to ensure that participants are aware of the pros and cons of the treatment conditions and to minimize the risk of differential attrition
Pre-treatment session
At the pretreatment session, participants will return the accelerometer, meet with a dietician to complete a dietary recall, and engage in a brief treadmill activity. During the treadmill activity, participants will walk on a treadmill at a moderate intensity while reviewing ratings of perceived exertion to become familiar with the physiological signs of physical activities at this intensity.
Eligible participants will be scheduled for a group time and assigned to a team with seven other participants, all of whom will be randomized to the same condition. Group randomization will be completed by a statistician, and neither participants, nor coaches, will find out group assignment until the first group session. The intervention timeline is presented in Figure
Figure 2
ENGAGED Intervention Timeline
ENGAGED Intervention Timeline.
Standard weight loss program (STND)
STND participants will be given a goal of 7% weight loss to be achieved through changes in diet and activity, similar to the DPP lifestyle intervention
The original sixteen session DPP protocol will be condensed to eight group sessions (see Table
In addition to in-person group sessions, STND participants will receive individual coaching calls. Coaching calls will be scheduled on a weekly basis during the initial eight weeks of the study and monthly during months 3–6. Coaches will review submitted Keeping Track diaries and determine the participant's level of achievement for each goal using standardized adherence criteria for the study. Coaching calls will last approximately 10–15 minutes and follow a structured script aiming to reinforce success and problem solve around barriers to change. Four content areas will be covered during each call: (1) weight loss, (2) adherence to dietary and physical activity self-monitoring, (3) attainment of diet and activity goals, and (4) goal setting.
Technology-supported weight loss program (TECH)
Similar to STND, TECH will attend eight in-person group sessions, receive regular coaching calls, and follow the same weight, physical activity, and dietary goals. However rather than paper Keeping Track diaries, TECH will be provided with a study smartphone, ENGAGED application, and an accelerometer to use during the first 6 months of the intervention. In addition to covering the topics discussed during the first group meeting (Table
ENGAGED technology
The ENGAGED technology includes a study smartphone (Motorola Droid™), pre-loaded with the ENGAGED application, and an accelerometer (SHIMMER™). TECH participants will use the ENGAGED application, which contains the CalorieKing® food database, a comprehensive nutritional source containing over 50,000 food entries, to self-monitor daily dietary intake. Goal thermometers will display participant's goal and actual amount of calories and fat grams consumed (Figure
Figure 3

Self-guided behavioral weight loss program (SELF)
SELF will attend one 60-minute in-person group session during but will not attend any additional group sessions nor receive coaching calls throughout the intervention. Similar to STND, SELF will be given "The Complete Book of Food Counts"
Team weight loss competition
In order to encourage members of each weight loss team to support each other's behavioral adherence and weight loss, a team weight loss competition will be held at 3- and 6-months during each cohort. The team with the greatest weight loss percentage at each time point will win $400, to be divided evenly among the group members ($50 per team member).
Treatment fidelity
Fidelity checklists will be prepared for group and telephone coaching sessions. Checklists for each session will specify a) good counseling practices; b) prescribed session content; and c) proscribed session content. Coaches will undergo training to become familiarized with the modified DPP protocol and to role-play potential conflicts and situations that may arise during group and telephone sessions. Study staff will also attend weekly clinical meetings to discuss any participant conflicts that may arise. All group and telephone coaching sessions will be audio recorded, and each month a random sample of 10% of the recordings will be coded by study staff to evaluate treatment fidelity. If fidelity falls below 90% on any of the fidelity checks, staff will be retrained.
Outcome measures
Assessments will be completed at baseline, 3-, 6-, and 12-months. Participants will receive $40 for completing each of the 3-, 6, and 12-month assessments. The procedures and measures are described below:
Height, weight, BMI, and waist circumference
Height will be measured using a wall-mounted stadiometer to the nearest 0.01 cm. Body weight will be measured without shoes, wearing light clothing on a calibrated beam balance scale to the nearest 0.01 kg. BMI (kg/m2) will be calculated using height and weight measurements. Waist circumference will be assessed by positioning an anthropometric tape midway between the palpated iliac crest and the palpated lowest rib margin in the mid-axillary lines. Two measurements will be taken and the mean value of each site will be used.
Dietary intake adherence
Dietary intake will be assessed at baseline, 3-, and 6-months via interview by a non-intervention registered dietician using the computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) 24 hour recalls
Physical activity adherence
Physical activity will be objectively measured by an accelerometer (Actigraph #7164, Pensacola, FL) over 7 days at baseline, 3-, and 6-months. The accelerometer will be attached to an elastic belt and worn on the right hip. Minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity will be measured in a modified bout lasting a minimum of eight consecutive minutes. Adherence will be ascertained on the basis of how well the participant's bout-corrected accelerometer count corresponds to the weekly activity goal.
Dietary self-monitoring adherence
Dietary self-monitoring adherence will be assessed as the number of days reporting dietary intake on the paper Keeping Track diaries (STND and SELF) or smartphone application (TECH). In order to receive full adherence credit for a day of self-monitoring, participants must have ≥ 1000 calories recorded and ≥ 25 grams of fat.
Physical activity self-monitoring adherence
For STND and SELF, physical activity self-monitoring adherence will be assessed as the number of days reporting physical activity in the paper Keeping Track diaries, divided by the number of possible days. For TECH participants, self-monitoring adherence will be operationalized as the number of days the accelerometer was worn ≥ 8 hours, divided by the number of possible days.
Coaching time
Coaches will monitor the number of minutes preparing for and conducting individual coaching calls throughout the first 6 months of the intervention.
Data analytic plan
Linear mixed modeling
Data will be analyzed on an intent-to-treat basis. The basic modeling approach will entail linear mixed models for longitudinal data. The primary aim is to test for treatment group differences on weight loss at 3-, 6-, and 12-months as well as differences in behavioral adherence and goal attainment at 3- and 6-months. Linear mixed models do not require that participants are measured at all time points, and therefore can include participants with missing data across time. In these analyses, we will examine changes across time by treating time as a nominal variable in the analysis to allow for non-linear trends. In addition to the effect of time, the main independent variable is treatment groups, a between-subjects factor with 3 levels: STND, TECH and SELF. A priori Helmert contrasts
Mediation analysis
We hypothesize that the weight loss advantage for those assigned to TECH would be explained (entirely or partially) by TECH's higher rates of adherence to self-monitoring and attainment of behavioral goals. To test this mediation hypothesis, we will fit a linear mixed model predicting weight loss similar to the model described above, but now including in the regression equation the potential mediating variables corresponding to adherence to self-monitoring. To the extent that adherence mediate the effects of the experimental condition, in the model with adherence included, we expect the coefficient on the treatment group by time interaction variable to be reduced compared to the treatment group by time interaction coefficient from the model without adherence. This difference provides an estimate of the extent to which adherence may mediate the effects of the experimental condition on weight loss. Bootstrapping will be used to estimate the sampling variability of the mediation effect.
Sample size and power
We will randomize n=32 participants to each treatment group and assume 6% of participants will drop out by the end of the study so that there will be n=30 participants in each group at the final endpoint. The power calculations below are based on the second Helmert contrast: TECH vs. STND because this contrast contains the fewest number of subjects (30 in each group) and we expect this contrast to have the smallest effect sizes. The first Helmert contrast: STND and TECH vs. SELF has a larger sample size (60 vs. 30) and we anticipate larger effects sizes in this contrast due to the limited intensity of the SELF intervention. Therefore, by powering the study based on the second contrast, we will have more than adequate power for the first contrast.
Weight loss
We measure weight loss at 3, 6, and 12 months. Using data from a previous weight loss trial
Diet self-monitoring adherence
We measure dietary self-monitoring adherence at 3 and 6 months as the ratio of actual days of diet self-monitoring relative to the possible number of days. Using data from a previous trial
Physical activity self-monitoring adherence
Physical activity self-monitoring will be assessed as the number of days reporting physical activity on paper diaries (STND and SELF) or wearing the accelerometer (TECH), divided by the number of possible days. Data from a previous trial
Dietary intake adherence
We measure adherence to calorie goals at 3 and 6 months using 3 day 24 hour recalls. Using pilot data from a previous trial, we observed a standard deviation of change in calories of 498 at month 3 and 431 at month 6, with a correlation of 0.9 between the two time points. With 80% power and an n=30 in both groups, we will be able to detect a calorie reduction difference of 375 calories.
Physical activity adherence
Physical activity adherence is measured by accelerometer at months 3 and 6 as the number of minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity per week. Using data from a previous trial
Obesity continues to be a significant public health issue worldwide and guidelines recommend intensive behavioral interventions for all obese adults
The technology-supported condition will utilize a smartphone application designed to target known health behavior change mechanisms. Participants will be able to track weight and dietary intake, receive real-time feedback on behaviors, and communicate with team members by using a private message board and direct messaging. The application will also connect wirelessly via Blue-tooth to an accelerometer to provide real-time feedback on objectively measured physical activity. The ENGAGED technology will enable participants to experience ongoing support and accountability by allowing study coaches to continuously view participant's up-to-date data, enabling them to provide timely support in the event of technical difficulties and tailored, immediate feedback during coaching calls.
Limited research has been conducted on smartphone-supported weight loss interventions, leaving numerous unanswered questions and directions for future research. Future studies are especially needed on the efficacy of mobile health interventions in underrepresented groups (i.e., older adults, ethnic minorities, uneducated, and low SES). Also needed are studies on the efficacy of technology supported interventions over the long-term, as weight loss maintenance continues to be one of the greatest challenges to obesity interventions
The ENGAGED Study is a theory-guided randomized controlled trial that will examine the efficacy and feasibility of a smartphone-supported implementation of the DPP on weight loss and behavioral adherence. Although smartphone usage is on the rise, the evidence base evaluating applications for health behavior change is extremely sparse. This study will make an important contribution by rigorously examining the effect of a novel, scalable smartphone technology system on self-monitoring adherence and weight loss outcomes.

Windsor Town Board puts brakes on pot club ban — for now
February 1, 2013
W i ndsor — What was expected to be a clear-cut vote on a marijuana club temporary will be put off for at least two more weeks in Windsor.
The Windsor Town Board pulled the item from Monday's meeting agenda before it could even be discussed. Board member Robert Bishop-Cotner made the motion to table the ordinance, urging instead that the vote on the temporary ban be made with a full, seven-person board rather than the five who were present Monday.
"We need to table this," he said simply. He was joined by Mayor Pro-Tem Kristie Melendez and Ivan Adams.
Mayor John Vazquez and Myles Baker were absent Monday.
Though the board won't formally decide this part of pot's fate until at least Feb. 11 — the next regular meeting date — no other enterprises will be allowed to set up because a Colorado marijuana licensing structure is still in the development stage. The state is expected to begin issuing retail pot shop licenses by Oct. 1, which is also when communities must decide to what extent the industry will — or will not — be permitted.
Any town ordinances could only apply to the retail sales and distribution. The voter-approved amendment to the Colorado's constitution decriminalized the recreational use and growth of limited amounts of marijuana for adults older than 21 years old.
