Poured into a standard pint glass meium brown with amber hue, a thinner but well formed off white head atop.Aromas were fruity, with bitter chocolate,molasses,earthy,and lightly roasted nuttiness,alot going on for a brown ale.A little sharp in the feel if it smooths out it's really top notch.Flavors are mildly sweet upfront with some brown sugar and fruity tones,a big drying earthiness really takes over into a nice finish.I really like the flavor profile of this brown,it's American to the hilt with it's big earthy hopped up finish.Tweak the body and this is really top notch.

Breckle's Brown comes out of the bottle not so brown. It's more of a mahogany-dark amber. This body is quite see-through. The head is a medium tan and is rather billowy after a hard pour into a pint galss. Lacing left from the head is clumpy and sticky.
The aroma is quite sweet and a little fruity. Notes of vanilla and brown sugar are evident, along with a smell of cola and root beer. Also, some pecan pie sweetness comes through. The fruity smell is like melon- cantaloupe, specifically.
The taste echoes a lot of the characteristics of the smell, but the strength of the taste does not match the strength of the aroma. The fruitiness evidenced in the aroma never quite formalizes like I thought it might. Toasted malts come through strongly and the finish is quite bitterly dry and roasty. Good taste, but I was expecting a little more after smelling the beer.
The mouthfeel is on the light side of medium and has just a slight coating sensation. The finish is rather acidic and biting- much drier than most brown ales that I have had.
This is different than most brown ales that I've had, and I don't think I like it quite as much as the top ones I've imbibed. I really enjoyed the aroma, but the taste seemed like the component flavors were a bit disjointed from each other, and the mouthfeel is quite a bit drier at the end than other browns I've had. This is a good beer, but just not quite a top brown, in my opinion.

A - Pours a deep clear amber/brown with two fingers of tan head. Head has very good retention and leaves rings of nice lacing.
S - Aroma is pretty faint, but I think I pick up some toasted malts and a bit of brown bread. Also a faint sweetness.
T - Mostly malt, with toasted brown bread and a bit of caramel. Citrus hops come in midway, but the finish is again very malty.
M - Medium mouthfeel with a bit of bitterness and a dry, earthy finish.
O - Not the most exciting, but a pretty solid brown ale. I was watching the Prohibition documentary from Ken Burns recently, and all the still photos from the '20s and '30s with people holding dark beers in hand made me wonder what beers were like in America before the adjunct lager took over. While I know bocks were pretty popular back then, I couldn't help but feel like I was drinking a historical beverage while downing this one (minus the Citra hops, of course).

Anchor' s brown is nice addition to their catalog, but not a home run...more like a single in the gap.
Pours perfect brown with a nice oatmeal colored head, however I was expecting a old brown ale malty taste, but a subtler mild malt flavor. Citra hops for a brown ale, huh... Maybe not my first choice, but cheers for a good try.

Bomber pours a hazed chestnut brown body with a two finger beige head. Good retention and some delicate spiderweb lacing is left on the glass.
Aroma is subdued, with faint toffee and caramel notes edged by citrusy pink grapefruit.
Mouthfeel reveals a light medium body with moderate carbonation.
Taste features caramel malt, baked bread, brown sugar, and a balancing bitterness from grapefruity hops. The use of Citra hops contributes to a one dimensional feel, overall. Finishes with a slightly astringent quality.
A decent American brown ale but I think I would have enjoyed it more with Cascades hops instead of the Citra.

The Beers of California
Freshness Date: None
A: Deep mahogany with a finger of khaki head. Good retention and ample lacing. Looks enticing and full.
S: Timid nose of mostly toasted brown sugar. Herbal notes in the background.
T: Sweet brown bread with a herbal, slightly medicinal astringency which builds toward the finish. Some hints of citrus zest in the middle.
M: Somewhat syrupy with appropriate smoothness and overall moderate body with medium carbonation.
O: A hop heavy brown with clashing charachteristics. I was hoping for a bit more sweetness and cohesion. The combination of flavors are somewhat confused and lack harmony which is the hallmark of a great brew. I love that this brew takes a chance with the citra hop notes but overall needs a bit more work to attain greatness.

The beer pours a medium brown color with a tan head. The aroma has a mix of toffee and some pine from the hops. The flavor has quite a bit of pine and resin from the hops, as well as some light bread and toffee. There is also some cream in the flavor, but what really stands out is the hop character. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Abnormally high carbonation, but I can get past that. Crazy aroma, like chocolate, coffee and tropical fruit (thinking candy, like jolly ranchers or gummy bears).
Light body, good flavor and virtually no finish. It tastes great but is there and gone in seconds. A complex, interesting craft brew that you can chug by the case without feeling too guilty about it.
A little pricey at 9 for a sixer. Have I ever seen a sixer of this before? I think today might be the first time, at trader joe's.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Appearance: Somewhat dark orangish-brown with nice initial head, leaving slight lacing.
Smell: Caramel and roasted malt with some definite citrus and spice from the Citra hops.
Taste: Tastes like a Brown Ale with Citra, with caramel, nuts and a light roastiness offset by a somewhat spicy, bitter and citrusy finish. Some sips it seems like there is too much Citra; other sips not enough. Odd that the balance never seems quite right. Some lingering sweetness as well.
Feel: Moderate carbonation, medium body, fairly dry finish.
Overall: While definitely enjoyable, it does not mesh as well as hoped and is somewhat of a letdown for Anchor.

Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a deep dark brown with tints of amber/ruby red. Lots of rising bubbles and a huge foamy five finger head with good retention and lots of lacing around the glass.
Smell: Sweet malts that are slightly roasted. A good amount of caramel and toffee. A pretty vibrant presence of hops for the style with some citrus orange and a hint of pine resin. Also some light hints of nuts and brown sugar.
Taste: Starts with some sweet lightly roasted caramel malts up front with hints of toffee and nuts. A fairly vibrant taste of hops comes in with notes of citrus orange and some herbal, grassy hops. Also some hints of brown sugar and banana. Nice balance of sweet malts and hops.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate level of carbonation. Very creamy and somewhat sticky. Starts sweet and finishes fairly dry.
Overall: A very nice take on a brown ale. More hoppy than you would expect from a brown but still well balanced.

A 355ml bottle with a BB of July 2014. Purchased a while back from Trembling Madness in York, and stored in my garage. Described on the label as a tribute to Gottlieb Brekle, the founder of the original Anchor brewery in the 1850s.
Poured into a tulip pint glass. Bottle conditioned. A deep reddish-brown hue with medium carbonation. Yields a large head of creamy beige foam that lasts for a few minutes before reducing to a surface layer. Aroma of grainy caramel malt with hints of roasted malt, brown sugar, faint chocolate, stewed leaves and earthy yeast. Somewhat sweet, with a twinge of harsh cardboard in the background.
Tastes of subtle roasted malt with a dry finish. Notes of grain, caramel/toffee, brown sugar, mild chocolate, stewed leaves, harsh cardboard and faint earthy yeast. Possesses a slight malty sweetness followed by an acrid bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with pleasant carbonation and decent body for the style. Could perhaps be a tad thicker. Rather astringent, with an aftertaste of harsh cardboard, stewed leaves and mild caramel malt.
OK, though nothing special. To be fair, I've never been particularly enamoured of brown ales. This one looks nice, with a lovely colour when held to the light. However the aroma and flavour, while malty, are quite bland and plagued by an undesirable harshness. Body is par for the course. It meets expectations, though the taste could be cleaner and fresher. Worth trying, but no need to seek it out.

Brown pour, a little thin but great clarity for a brown. Then again, Newcastle, uh, nevermind.
Nice sweet aroma, not much of a toasty malt thing going, but I like the sweetness.
Mild taste, smooth, sweet but not overly, enough substance to it to ride it out. No hops. Could make an Oktoberfest fan happy I bet. A little toffee in the mouthfeel, seemed par for course. Might pick up a 6 of it if I ever see it bottled, simply because its a nice agreeable beer to have around when people come over to the house empty handed.

Brown murky mahogany red body, with a big thicket of deep tan head forming thick large bubbles flowing up from the depths of this dark brown libation. I smell a beautiful expressive hop profile with more citrus and earthiness than anything else. Complemented by candied malts with mild layers of roast, caramel, and nuttiness. Very faint tartness arises within the glass as well this is a balanced single hopped single malt brown ale. Super drinkable effortless, really. Pronounced nutty, dark chocolate, roasted malts with caramelized maltiness. Very good depth in the malt department with an earthy herbal hop note that lasts in cohesion with malts throughout each sip. Mouthfeel is velvet, silky smooth on the palate graces my palate with ample carbonation. Even flowing slick full malt profile sticks to the sides of palate with a lingering herbal dry finish, really perfect balance with little to no alcohol peaking through on the palate. Overall impressive brown quite possibly my favorite I've tried in a very long time, some people are scared of this style since it's hard to nail, but Anchor did just that out of the park fuckin' homerun!!!

12 oz bottle served in an Anchor Steam pint glass.
Pours a very dark, reddish-brown with moderate size but thick tan head. The head dies down to a ring rather quickly but leaves some splotchy lacing.
There's plenty of unexpected piney hops in the aroma, and a bit of this carries over to the initial part of the taste. The flavor, however, quickly becomes dominated by a fine dark malt flavor that lingers for a while. The dark malt is evident in aroma, just less than might be expected given the flavor. Hints of dark malt, molasses and citrus fruits in the aroma, and of toffee, coffee, roasted nuts and caramel in the flavor.
M: clean and rather crisp for style, thanks to the extra hops and a medium or higher level of carbonation. Medium body.
O: unusual, easy-drinking, and flavorful, with interesting and well-balanced flavors that change from the time this hits the tongue until the lingering aftertaste slowly fades away.

About Captcha, Inc.
"Today, Captcha Inc's mission is to provide the best CAPTCHA software accompanied by the best customer support service on the market"
– Mr. Marijan Plestina, Captcha, Inc CEO
In the very beginning, Captcha, Inc (then called Lanap/Lanapsoft) was formed around one simple idea – to build the first commercially available CAPTCHA software on the market. Following a period of frantic development, we succeeded.
Being the first is always great, but as numerous software vendors before us have discovered - being the only game in town doesn't last long. Accordingly, our mission evolved into having the easiest to use, most customizable and feature-rich CAPTCHA software available. In short, to be the best. And somehow, we succeeded with that one, too.
Today, the CAPTCHA market is slowly evolving from an early market (of technology enthusiasts and early adopters) towards maturity (more conservative mainstream buyers). The latter requires far better customer support, and sometimes even a fair measure of hand-holding. Thus our mission has evolved once again – we now aim to provide the best CAPTCHA software accompanied by the best customer support service on the market.
The jury is still out there on that one. However, according to the growth of our BotDetect CAPTCHA customer reference list, it would seem we are succeeding in this as well :)
Quick Facts
- In 2004, BotDetect™ CAPTCHA components were the world's first commercially available CAPTCHA components.
- Since then, BotDetect CAPTCHA components protect from automated registrations and spam submissions online forms on more than 10000 domains.
- BotDetect CAPTCHA protected websites are created, owned, or hosted by over 2500 paying customers.
- BotDetect CAPTCHA customers are located in 70+ different countries all over the world.
- Despite our best efforts, however, Captcha, Inc still doesn't have any customers from either the Arctic or Antarctic :)
- Captcha, Inc is incorporated in Anguilla, with headquarters and development recently relocated from Split, Croatia to Phan Thiet (Mui Ne), Vietnam.
- Captcha, Inc has eight employees, and is completely dedicated to its only product – BotDetect CAPTCHA.
Marijan Plestina, CEO
Previous Employments:
Marijan's experience extends from frying hamburgers in a nearby McDonald's (that financed a good part of his student days) – to years of C++ coding, first at UltiTech / OmegaSoftware, and later again at Polar. Captcha, Inc is the first company that he founded, and so far it seems to be faring quite well :)
Matej Saric, CTO
Previous Employments:
Matej financed his student days through software development; first at Polar and later here in Captcha, Inc. He was Captcha, Inc's first full-time developer. Following Captcha, Inc's growth, and after getting his engineering degree, Matej joined the executive team in his present position.
Lukrecio Mioc, VP PR & Marketing
Previous Employments:
- Uniqall
- Alterbox
- Globalnet
- Envox
After 19 years of career in different roles at various (mostly technology) startups, it would be unwise to expect that Lukrecio join anything less than – another startup – although this one has a reference list that is somewhat too fat for his liking :)

"We've changed the natural history of breast cancer through better detection and treatment," said Pamela Goodwin, MD, Professor of Medicine, Mt. Sinai Hospital, University of Toronto. Her remark as a panelist at the medical Symposium that preceded the annual BCRF Luncheon underscored the changes that research has brought to breast cancer and complemented Jill Rose Awardee Dr. Patricia Ganz's explanation of what question drives a new generation of research: "What is the impact of primary breast cancer treatments on women's health?"
In their nearly two-hour discussion followed by a Q & A session, the five scientists, led by Ganz's opening summary of the field of quality of life research, revealed important insights:
--Treatment for breast cancer has been shortened to 2-9 months over the past 20 years, but recovery often takes 2 years or more.
--Women are primarily concerned with the risk of death due to breast cancer, making them willing to undergo difficulties associated with long courses of chemotherapy.
--Breast cancer patients are resilient women. However, high-risk groups include: young women whose fertility is jeopardized by treatment, and women who lack family or social support while undergoing treatment.
--Remarkably, many patients experience a measurable positive growth as a result of their cancer, reframing life priorities.
--Incremental return to pre-cancer activities is vital in the early survivorship stage.
Goodwin explained that women's weight is an indicator of recurrence. "Overweight and obesity have proven to be adverse qualities in breast cancer," she said. Her studies have revealed that "insulin resistance syndrome" is a possible indicator that breast cancer risk and recurrence have increased. Goodwin advocates greater awareness about weight as a risk factor and changing lifestyle through food and exercise to reduce the risk.
Edith Perez described her project of tracking women taking the drug Herceptin for evidence of risk factors for cardiac disease. "There is a small but real risk," says Perez, "and now we know how to carefully monitor and redirect those who will not respond well to the drug." Perez and her colleagues made news in 2005, when the National Cancer Institute released the results of two large clinical trials showing that Herceptin given with chemotherapy reduced recurrence of breast cancer in women with HER-2 positive breast cancer by 52 percent. Perez was the principal investigator for one of those trials.
Stanton has helped identify "islands of disruption" that breast cancer survivors experience. Her research extends Ganz's findings in determining risk groups among survivors. "Breast cancer is not the same experience for all women," said Stanton. ""Women who adopt an active approach to their experience fare particularly well, while others are at risk for depression." She and her colleagues focus on strategies for supporting survivors with different psychological needs.
By sifting through the Young Breast Cancer Survivor Cohort Study to determine overlooked factors in breast cancer survival, Electra Paskett has learned that nearly 30 percent suffer chronic lymphedema-post-surgical swelling in the arms, due to removal of the lymph nodes in many breast cancer surgeries. Now, using data from the historic Women's Health Initiative Study she is striving to understand how lymphedema might be prevented or reduced. "With such a high incidence of lymphedema in survivors, we must work on improving this chronic condition," she told the audience.
BCRF's Symposium and Scientific Retreat engaged scientific and non-scientific attendees alike in vigorous discussion about breast cancer as a collection of diseases with increasingly manageable outcomes. Dr. Norton observed that breast cancer research is revealing new insights in other areas of women's health, such as heart disease, obesity, menopause and post-menopause. As quite a few attendees pointed out, the research gains of scientists in the U.S. and other developed nations supported by BCRF must someday be translated across the globe. Breast cancer is international, and its improved treatments should be, too.

June 7, 2012
The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) deferred action on preliminary and final site and building plans for Phase 1 of the Intelligence Community Campus-Bethesda, as submitted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The one month deferral to the July 12 meeting allows the applicant time to resolve community concerns regarding stormwater management and views.
This first phase includes all redevelopment and new construction proposed for the site's North Campus. The USACE plans to completely redevelop the approximately 39-acre site, former headquarters of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, into a secure campus for the Defense Intelligence Agency. The 12 acre North Campus is currently used primarily for surface parking. Plans for this area include replacement of existing parking lots with a parking deck (six stories and space for 1,800 vehicles), a small 24 space visitor parking lot, a new temporary vehicle entrance, vehicle inspection station, visitor control center, and related site and security enhancements.

The Commission adopted updated policies for the Federal Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan for the National Capital. Last updated in 2004, the Transportation Element sets policies that guide the federal government's efforts to support and enhance the region's transportation network. The policies in the updated element will not take effect until the Commission adopts updates to all seven existing elements and the new Urban Design Element under development. NCPC anticipates completing the update process for all elements by February 2013.

The Commission approved a master plan modification for the Department of Homeland Security Headquarters (DHS) Consolidation on the St. Elizabeths West Campus. The master plan places all DHS employees on the West Campus, except for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) headquarters which would be placed on a Federal Use Parcel on the East Campus.
The modification proposed by the General Services Administration (GSA) includes plans for the new 750,000 gross square foot FEMA headquarters building on the East Campus along with a 775 space parking garage, roadway improvements for Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue, and a new interchange linking Malcolm X Avenue, Interstate 295, and an access road through the existing Shepherd Parkway.
In its approval NCPC commended GSA and DHS for developing a well thought out and thorough master plan modification. It also commended these agencies, along with the Federal Highway Administration, for working with the National Park Service to develop a solution for the access road through Shepherd Parkway.

price range: $239.99 - $399.99
- Reviewed by: Eric Franklin
- Reviewed on: 05/13/2012
The good: The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is a well-designed tablet with powerful speakers, a responsive screen, and comes with Android 4.0 installed.
The bad: At $400, the tablet is overpriced compared with more-powerful competing tablets that offer better features for around the same price. The tablet's dual-core CPU has trouble running large 1080p movies smoothly, and its screen color accuracy isn't as high as on the previous Tab 10.1.
The bottom line: The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 comes up short in performance, features, and value compared with competing tablets.

Summary: I just received my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 inch wifi-only and am completely blown away by this. There is nothing negative I have to say. This is THE tablet to have! Bar none!
I also own the 7 inch Samsung wifi-only tablet, and this is a bigger, faster, better version of that (by a long shot) in the 10.1 inch size. I love Samsung's tablets. Perfect form factor and shape. And they are absolutely gorgeous.
This 10.1 Tab 2 is amazing! It's very fast and snappy. Takes gorgeous pictures, the screen resolution and pixel density is amazing. The screen brightness (when turned all the way up) is brighter than anything I have ever seen on any device! It's blindingly bright! All my apps run perfectly well. It has stereo speakers that are nice and loud. It has Android 4.0 ice cream sandwich and a Samsung overlay over it. It's not overly bloated though. Seems very minimal with the Samsung specific software.
The Peel app that allows you to control your TV, Direct TV, and audio receiver is a huge bonus. You can control any device. It's an amazing app and even let's you search for and schedule recordings, learns shows you like and will present them to you. Very well made IR remote control app for your home theater or television set. It can control everything.
Netflix, Amazon, or Samsung Hub movies play in 720p HD and look amazing on this screen. The sound is amazing as well with the stereo speakers. The screen is actually 1280x800, and can do better than just 720 lines of horizontal resolution.
The Chrome browser syncs with your desktop, phone, and other device browsers so that all your bookmarks, favorites, cookies, passwords, and recently viewed all show up on every device.
Social media apps are optimized for the larger screen in a pretty amazing fashion. Twitter, Facebook, Google+ are all excellent and function very well.
Your Google account backups everything, so you never lose a thing. Never lose another video, picture, application setting, or anything if your phone falls into a river. It's all backed up and can be restored.
It even has a GPS radio so you can benefit from navigation, maps, places, geo location, and all sorts of services and apps that require location information.
Reading books with the Kindle app is flawless. It keeps track of where you are on each page, makes life easier. Whether I am reading on my phone, or my Tab, or my desktop computer, you never lose your place, notes, markup, bookmarks. Pretty awesome.
The battery life is amazing. Still haven't been able to run it out. It's been almost 2 days of usage. Not heavy usage, but surfing the net, downloading all my apps and setting them up, rearrange the homescreens, and playing some movies and songs.
Samsung is the world leader in smartphone sales and this really shows why. They aren't overpriced products. They are well made and perform better than any other product out there. The Samsung brand is reliable and amazing!
P.S. before you will buy this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, I suggest check for best deal at: Andriod4tablets.blogspot.com/p/samsung-galaxy-tab-2.html
I hope this review is helpful.

Summary: CENET. you need real world reviews on info and specs foind on the interent. Forget "Benchmarks" Is it fast, easy to use in hand? Does it do what it is supposed to do? Its all a numbers game - Just like in all of electronics. Think of Dual then Quad Core and beyond as the new "Megapixel" marketing scam cameras suffered! I own a MacBook Air 2011 and hoped to keep the IPAD but they scam you by disabling GPS in the WiFi only version forcing you into higher priced models where they get carrier kickbacks! You fanboys must be loaded!! I use my tablets in a work seeting and light media consumption at home. I am on the road a lot and wanted reliable GPS and WiFi. Unless you drop north of $630 for a 16GB IPAD PLUS pay for more mobile data monthly you cant get any GPS on an IPAD, its also far to heave for reading a book - So I turned to CNET reviews and The Transformer Prime. I read tails of problems but A BB employee told me they had held production on the Asus to fix GPS WiFi issues. So I bought one the other night. Guess what Asus fixed the problem by removing GPS as a feature! Yes folks its still in the unit and will work about 10% of the time for a lock but It is defective out of the box because the aluminum back still cuts the WiFi signal and totally KILLS GPS!
So, I deside to switch to the $399 Samsung Tab 2 that CNET says is a step backwards and just awful and the color and the brightness suck so what do I get for just $399? Flawless performance, I dont have to pay $100.00 for the $6.00 worth of 16GB memory because it has an expansion slot And (this is huge), they had cases for them!
HEY CNET I saw your "In Depth" interview with Asus today where they report they cant and wont ever fix the Transformer and claim the coming replacment T700 is not a replacmet, you gonna keep that 4 Star Higest rated crap going forever?
One last this, I tried the 399 Asus 300, it is a nice unit but it seems your hand covers the single speaker on the back - poor placement. Also after remving no less than 3 crazy "Sync" programs from my day with the prime, I dont want the added haasle. Plus - You guessed it - No cases!

Good tablet for the price
by codykenny on January 28, 2013
Pros: Large screen
Competitive price
Cons: Lower specs than the high end models

Summary: This is my first tablet and I have not used one before so I can't compare to other products. However I wanted to write this review to convey a few points that aren't addressed in other reviews I have read.
After a rocky start (see below) I think this is a very good tablet for the price. I was in the market for a tablet at $300 or price range with a large screen. I just wasn't willing to spend $400 or more for the higher end tablets and I have an aversion to Apple products for some reason. The price was actually $350 at Best Buy but I used some rewards to get it down to $300. There really isn't many choices for a large screen tablet at $300 - $350 price range. I think Cnet's review is mostly accurate however they should reconsider their opinion based on what else is available for large screen tablets at this price point. I considered the Google Nexus 10 ($400) which had better specs and reviews, but currently it isn't available to purchase from Google or at any stores.
I am pleased with the performance, graphics, and features. It has a nice feel and is very smooth. I think typing on a large tablet is awkward but have noticed a quick learning curve. I have used the voice recognition to type an email and am impressed at how well it works (much better than on my Droid X2 phone). I am also impressed with the remote control app (peel Smart Remote) which lets you control your TV and Cable box using the built-in IR port. It is different than a normal remote because it looks up shows that are on based on categories. You can pick them, read info about it and if you want to watch it will change the channel for you. It even has some limited controls for my DVR. It doesn't seem to have volume control however. It defiantly won't replace my Harmony remote but it is a cool alternative to the guide on your cable or satellite box!
A word of caution, when setting it up the first thing it will have you do is create an account with Samsung for software updates and their own marketplace. When I did it, I left out one letter in my email address and thus couldn't get the authorization email to activate the account. I didn't realize until I had done about 5 hours of setup and customization. There is no way to delete the bad account or edit the email address if it isn't authorized. Samsung support said I had to reset to factory defaults and start over. It was my mistake but very frustrating to have to start over and lose everything. So, learn from my mistake and don't enter the wrong email address on the Samsung account setup!!
My tablet would randomly restart while I was using it. This happened about 3 or 4 times in 4 hours. Then when I did the factory reset it would boot up for 15 to 60 seconds then restart again. Nothing I could do would stop it. It stopped on its own for a bit so I got the software updated and did some setup but then started again. I promptly returned it to Best Buy and they exchanged it for me. The second tablet has been perfect and has not crashed one time. So, if you get a lemon like I did, take it back and give it a second try!!

Summary: If you are on the fence about buying this tablet don't be it is a solid device that gets the job done. As a teacher and public speaker this tablet has really streamlined my workload and having a tablet with an IR port comes in handy when the remote goes mysteriously missing at the end of a long day. Overall if you are looking for an affordable, reliable, customizable tablet experience that will not skim where it counts get yourself a tab 2 10.1.

AMAZING. It's extremely fast and the screen's beautiful
by cnutennis21 on July 16, 2012
Pros: Everything.
Cons: Screen is very very slightly choppy at times, but if you install Nova Launcher (its free) it will eliminate any choppiness. Personally I think it makes it just as smooth and look even better then the new Ipad. Get NOVA LAUNCHER! You will be satisfied

Summary: Be sure to get Nova Launcher, I would even recommend upgrading to the Pro version as well. You get so many customization features and you can design your tablet to the centimeter just the way you want it. This tablet is amazing on it's own, but while running Nova launcher, it just puts everything else to shame. I'm running Nova launcher on my Samsung galaxy s2 phone as well. I've never had any problems with it. Everything about this tablet exceeded my expectations. Colors are crisp, screen is smooth, tablet is fast, apps are great. BUY BUY BUY.

Summary: I bought this so I can watch movies, view/take photos, use heaps of apps and view content from my Samsung TV/Bluray Player with the Samsung Smart View App also I would definitely recommend buying this instead of the Apple iPad because it is more user friendly for watching movies and you can do a lot of more with it as well.

Summary: Bought this since I have been way to apple dependent for too long.
I have always had Android phones and I have loved them. This showed up on Amazon, and I bought it with out reading anything about it. And its PERFECT.
As I mentioned above the screen is amazingly clear, you can never go wrong with Chrome, and all my apps from my phones downloaded in a heartbeat.

No service at Samsung, a dud.
by monbutton on July 5, 2013
Pros: I had I hopes for this android tablet, but it is unable to go online. It is unable to find the ip address of my network.
Cons: The tablet cannot connect to my network and the customer service is horrible. Live chats that leave you hanging, emails with no possible reply. I have never encountered such poor service. I am returning the tablet.
Summary: I was never able to solve the connectivity problem of the tablet. If it cannot connect to the internet, it cannot download apps. Without apps, it is not very useful.

New Orleans, La. - A left ankle injury kept Hornets rookie forward Anthony Davis out of the second half of the team's 114-105 victory over the Kings, and now the team says he is "day to day" for Wednesday's game in San Antonio.
It is unclear when the injury happened but Davis did not play in the second half after recording 11 points and six rebounds in the first half.
A stress fracture in the same ankle forced Davis to miss 11 games earlier in the season.
He is averaging 13.2 points and 8.0 rebounds. Davis was the first pick in last year's NBA draft.

UPDATE 6 p.m. Wednesday: With little more than wet pavement and a few occasional snow flakes during the rush hour, weather forecasters are now predicting less than an inch of accumulated snow from this winter weather event. Most of the accululations will remain far north and west of the D.C. area and in elevated areas.
Thursday's weather will be sunny and much warmer. The high temperature should be about 48 degrees, allowing
UPDATE 8:55 a.m. Wednesday: Area weather forecasters predict Northern Virginia will see a wintry mix of rain and snow beginning at about noon on Wednesday, falling until about 10:30 p.m.
NBC-TV Channel 4 metereologist Tom Kierein forecasts 1-4 inches of snow, mainly north and west of the metro area. The Capital Weather Gang's Dan Stillman says we may see just enough snow to whiten the ground. The weather could impact the evening commute, he noted.
The National Weather Service forecasts a sunny Thursday with a high of 45 degrees, and weekend temperatures only reaching as high as the mid-30s.
Original post, Tuesday morning:
Maybe Punxsutawney Phil was right in predicting six more weeks of winter.
Temperatures Tuesday night will dip into the low to mid-30s before a wintry mix starts during the Wednesday morning rush hour.
The precipitation should move out by the end of the day. The high temperature Wednesday will be 39.
Very little accumulation is expected and anything that might accumulate will probably stick only to grass and cars.
Warm, Dry Winter So Far
Wednesday's potential snow is an anomaly this winter.
In Northern Virginia, the normal average snowfall through the end of January is 8.4 inches. So far this winter, we've had just 1.7 inches of the white stuff, according to the Capital Weather Gang.
Temperatures in the region also have been well above average. The average high temperature in January is 43 in the D.C. area. This January the average temperature was 48, with four days reaching a high of 60 degrees or above. On the first day of February, the high temperature in the area was 72 degrees.
It's been so warm and dry, in fact, that at least one .
Virginia isn't alone: Nationwide, this has been one of the warmest and least snowy winters on record. January was the third-least snowy on record for the lower 40 states, according to the Global Snow Lab at Rutgers University, which has been keeping snowfall records since the late 1960s.
Alaska is this year's outlier. Several towns in Alaska have broken snowfall and low temperature records this winter.

FGCU Falls At No. 2 Ohio State, 83-55
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Senior Jon Diebler equaled an Ohio State record with nine three-pointers as the No. 2 Buckeyes (9-0) stayed unbeaten with a wire-to-wire 83-55 win over the FGCU men's basketball team on Wednesday night at Value City Arena in front of 12,613 fans.
Diebler knocked down 9-of-14 from beyond the arc en route to surpassing his career-best by one point with 29 points. All 14 of Diebler's shot attempts came from beyond the arc, as the Buckeyes knocked down 13 long range field goals for the game.
"We knew we wanted to stop their big guys inside, so we packed the lane and, unfortunately, they made shots," said head coach Dave Balza. "This is a terrific team that excels on both ends of the court so we had to pick our poison."
The loss is the fifth in a row for the Eagles (2-6), who were led by freshman Chase Fieler (Parkersburg, W. Va./Parkersburg South) who notched a season-best 12 points all on three-pointers. Redshirt sophomore Anthony Banks (Lantana, Fla./Santaluces HS) was the only other Eagle in double figures with 10, his seventh double-digit performance of the season.
After falling behind 42-16 at the half, FGCU turned in a much better showing over the final 20 minutes by shooting 52 percent (14-27) from the floor and battling the stout OSU frontline to a 14-14 draw on the boards.
For the game, the Eagles shot 44 percent (20-46) from the field and a respectable 38 percent (8-21) from three-point land. On the flipside, the Buckeyes made 49 percent (32-66) of their shots and 13-of-28 from long range.
One of the biggest differences in the game came in the turnover department where 22 FGCU miscues, including 14 in the first half, led to 22-12 advantage in points off turnovers for OSU. The Buckeyes were able to get extra possessions with 12 offensive rebounds, while limiting the Blue and Green to a season-low five offensive caroms. OSU finished with a 37-28 edge on the glass.
Senior Reed Baker (Naples, Fla./Bishop Verot HS/Michigan) and sophomore Sherwood Brown (Orlando, Fla./Olympia HS) each chipped in with eight points, while freshman Christophe Varidel (Versoix, Switzerland/Worcester Academy) had seven points in the second half. Junior point guard Marlon Rivera (Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico/Sagemont HS/Santa Fe CC) had a solid floor game with a game-high seven assists and five rebounds.
After Diebler's 29 points, it was junior William Buford with 17 points and six rebounds. Midway through the second half, Buford became the 47th Buckeye to surpass 1,000 career points. Two-time Big Ten Player of the Week and freshman superstar Jared Sullinger was limited to 11 points, seven below his season average.
Aiding in Sullinger's slow night was the debut of junior Kevin Cantinol (Clearwater, Fla./Calvary Christian HS/Ole Miss), who saw his first action as an Eagle after transferring mid-season in 2009-10 from Mississippi. Cantinol, 6-foot-9, 253-lbs., saw a career-high 24 minutes.
FGCU will stay in the state of Ohio to complete its two-game road swing when it takes on Toledo on Saturday evening. Tip time at Savage Arena is slated for 7:00 p.m. while the game can be heard live for free on www.FGCUAthletics.com through the service of Stretch Internet. Voice of the Eagles Tom James will have the call.

Comfort-Aire's "S" Series, rated at 13 SEER, offers economical zone control because only the room or area being used is conditioned. Also, no energy is used to force air through a duct system. Since the unit is independent of any other heating or cooling system, specific comfort requirements can be set for the space. A wireless remote makes it easy to select both temperature and mode. The indoor air handler features a sleek design that extends just 9" to 12" into the room, depending on the model. For installation flexibility, the indoor section can be located up to 65 feet from the outdoor section. Not only is the air handler visually unobtrusive, it's also so quiet you'll forget it's even there. Fan speed and mode can be selected so the air flow provides the comfort needed without being disruptive. The 18,000 BTU models feature four fan speeds; other models have three fan speeds. Built with quality components, the system includes a three minute delay at start-up to protect the compressor from short cycling.
Important Addition to Installation Instructions
Complete your system by selecting a line set from the Accessories tab above. Line sets come in 15 foot, 35 foot, and 50 foot lengths.
Inside air conditioning systems are liquid/gas refrigerant. There are two types of this refrigerant available for use, R-22 (more commonly known as Freon), and a newer alternative R-410A.
An air conditioning system does not consume refrigerant, but reuses it. As long as there are no leaks in the refrigerant circuit, there is no need to ever add more refrigerant to an air conditioning system.
Although R-22 is an effective refrigerant, if it is released into the atmosphere it can contribute to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer. The EPA has mandated the phasing out the use of R-22. It is being replaced by R-410A.
As of 2010, manufacturers are required to make all new air conditioners with R-410A. However, R-22 is still available for sale in existing pre-2010-manufactured equipment, and for use in servicing existing R-22 equipment. By 2020, R-22 will no longer be manufactured, but will still be recycled and available for sale.

I have quite an odd issue with my 3650. When I open RealOne player, it shows the phone memory is always empty (incorrectly). When I press 'right' so that the memory card is selected I now see the contents of the phone memory. This leaves me with no way I can access the memory card to play files in RealOne.
Videos I've recorded on the builtin camera play fine in the normal Hantro 3.4 player. When I used the SelecQ file browser I was able to open the files in RealOne by selecting them in the SelecQ browser.
But I have no idea why I can't view the memory card contents from within RealOne.
I believe this was an issue from the moment I bought the phone, and not one that has developed afterwards. I have firmware 2.50.
Any ideas?

Bronx Business and Community Groups United
in Call for Ramps from the Bruckner to Hunts Point
Hunts Point businesses and South Bronx community groups held a press conference calling on Governor Andrew Cuomo to move forward with the construction of direct access ramps from the Bruckner Expressway to the Hunts Point peninsula. The peninsula is home to the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center and hundreds of other businesses. With no direct connection to any highway, the 15,000 daily truck trips associated with these businesses must use neighborhood streets to enter and exit the peninsula, causing health and safety issues for residents, aggravation for truck drivers and lost productivity for local businesses. The seven groups comprising the Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance called the press conference and were joined by representatives of Jetro Cash and Carry, Down East Seafood, Il Forno Bakery, Baldor Specialty Foods and Assemblyman Marcos Crespo.

City Concludes Two-Year, $1.5 Million Study of
Sheridan Expressway Corridor
SBRWA Calls for Action
Coinciding with the official conclusion of a two-year, $1.5 million Sheridan Expressway-Hunts Point Land Use Study, SBRWA was joined by elected officials and other community groups in calling for action to address dangerous neighborhood conditions. TO READ THE PRESS RELEASE CLICK HERE
The City's final recommendations were revealed by several city agencies during a public meeting on Tuesday, June 25th. The recommendations build on and include various aspects of a SBRWA's Community Plan including:
* direct access from the Bruckner Expressway to the Hunts Point Peninsula
* creation of developable land in the Sheridan footprint
* closure of at least two Sheridan ramps
* extensive pedestrian improvements including safer access to Starlight Park and the Bronx River
* the re-routing of trucks off of local streets.
If implemented these actions will take thousands of trucks off of local streets, increase pedestrian safety, create better access to our parks and the Bronx River and create the potential for affordable housing and local economic development.
The City's recommendations aren't all that we need but they are a strong foundation on which to build. We are encouraged to see so many pieces of our vision incorporated into the recommendations and are committed now more than ever to work to fully realize our vision for environmental justice
Next Stop: STATE!
The next step toward implementing these recommendations is to secure a commitment by the State Department of Transportation to complete an environmental review. Equally important is political support from the incoming mayoral administration to see that the process continues to move forward.
"Our neighborhoods have long endured some of the highest asthma rates in the country and are plagued by dangerous local streets. The status quo is completely unacceptable," said Kellie Terry-Sepulveda of SBRWA member organization The Point CDC. .
"The State must capitalize on the two years of engagement from community stakeholders, City agencies and elected officials and take a step forward to create transformative change in the Sheridan corridor. The environmental and economic health of South Bronx communities is at stake," said Vincent Pellecchia of SBRWA member organization Tri-State Transportation Campaign.

Last Sheridan TIGER Meeting!
Tuesday, June 25th*
6:00 -- 8:00pm
at The Cinema School (Monroe Campus)
1551 E 172nd St, Bronx, NY (at Manor Ave)
On Tuesday the City will hold it's final public meeting and present proposals for the Sheridan Expressway and our communities. This meeting will signal the end of the federally-funded "TIGER" study -- and the beginning of the push to get transformative changes for the Sheridan and Hunts Point implemented!! The Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance urges all to attend! Come see what parts of the Community Plan the City is recommending, as well as where their recommendations fall short.
...have you filled out the City's survey about the Sheridan?!
The Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance urges you to express YOUR priorities for the Sheridan and YOUR opinion of the study process. To fill out the survey CLICK HERE. To read the SBRWA's response to the City's recommendations CLICK HERE.
See you on Tuesday!!!

We Have One Week Left! Let The City Know Your Opinion!!
On June 25, 2013, the City will release it's "final recommendations" for the future of the Sheridan and our communities.
The Department of City Planning has put up a "feedback form" on their website about their "draft recommendations". Although these surveys have their limitations, The Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance urges you to express YOUR priorities for the Sheridan and YOUR opinion of the study process. To fill out the survey CLICK HERE or cut and paste this address into your web browser: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/sheridan_hunt/feedback.shtml
The City has put forward three scenarios for the future of the Sheridan. While we do not think that any of the scenarios goes far enough to address the critical issues facing our communities, the Alliance has taken the position that, out of the three, the "MODIFY COMBINED" scenario is the best first step toward the transformative justice that we all want to see. (to read SBRWA's response to the City's recommendations, CLICK HERE)
Of the three scenarios, Modify Combined allows for the greatest potential for affordable housing, local jobs, and new green space. Modify Combined would create three crossings over the Sheridan to Starlight park. Modify Combined would close two Sheridan ramps and build new ramps from the Bruckner into Hunts Point, keeping trucks off local streets.
A "Modify Separated" scenario would do some of these things but leave less space for housing, jobs and green space. A "Retain" scenario would leave the Sheridan as it is -- UNACCEPTABLE!
The Alliance does not endorse Modify Combined as the final outcome for the Sheridan Expressway. The City's recommendations are just that -- recommendations. But it can show the State that this is the direction we are going and begin the transformation from the current blighted highway system to better land uses that benefit our communities.
Let's make sure the City knows that Modify Combined is the very LEAST we will accept!!

Call on City and State to Take Action
South Bronx residents and community groups gathered at the intersection of Westchester and Whitlock Avenues to call for action to address dangerous neighborhood conditions and to present their response to City proposals for the Sheridan Expressway. Residents of the predominantly low-income, communities of color along the Expressway have long organized for comprehensive action in the area, citing dangerous streets, poor air quality, divided neighborhoods and inefficient roadways.
The event, called by the Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance (SBRWA), comes one day after a public meeting where the City's inter-agency team presented draft recommendations for the future of the Sheridan Expressway and the surrounding neighborhoods, as part of a two-year, $1.5 million study that will culminate with final recommendations released in June.

Battle for Future of Sheridan Expressway Continues
Over 100 South Bronx residents converged at the "Sheridan Town Hall" at Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School on December 5th. The meeting kicked-off the next phase in the campaign to radically trans-form the Sheridan Expressway corridor from a divided neighborhood

Is removing the Sheridan Expressway SBRWA's only goal?
Absolutely Not!
As community advocates, the economic development of the Bronx is among our top concerns, and we want the Hunts Point Market businesses to stay and thrive in Hunts Point. We believe that industry and residents can coexist in a more mutually beneficial way, and that is what we are working towards.
The poor design of the existing highway network costs Bronx businesses time and money, and undermines the health and safety of residents and workers alike. In the absence of any better highway connection, we know that many businesses now rely on the Sheridan, even though this requires them to drive through congested local streets to reach it.
To solve these problems, we are advocating for the following changes that will improve the highway infrastructure of the Bronx:
We are aware that each business will experience different impacts, but on the whole, we believe that the benefits of this plan outweigh its disadvantages for the community as a whole. We look forward to continuing these conversations with any and all people, businesses or residents, who are interested. We can be reached online at southbronxvision.org, or by calling 718-328-5622, extension 11.
Interchange at Oak Point Ave that will allow direct access to Hunts Point peninsula and keep trucks off local streets
Key points of the Bronx highway network that could be modified and improved to permit the removal of the Sheridan Expressway
May 24th, 2011
The 'Sheridan Expressway-Hunts Point Land Use and Transportation Study' (SEHP) is an study being conducted by New York City of the Sheridan Expressway and surrounding highway network. The Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance will be working closely with the city in the Community Working Group to ensure that the Community Plan to redevelop the Sheridan Expressway and improve access to Hunts Point is prioritized.
Since 2001, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has been studying the Sheridan Expessway and its inefficient interchanges. Because of the hard work of community residents and the Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance, NYSDOT has considered removing the Sheridan. NYSDOT did not include our plan to replace the Sheridan with housing, parks, and commercial space, but New York City's SEHP will address these aspects our the Community Plan.
Through the SEHP study, the City will engage community stakeholders in a visioning process to plan for the area's future. The study will allow the City to collect additional information about transportation, specifically truck access to the Hunts Point peninsula, and expand transportation analysis to include the broader highway network in the South Bronx.
Stay tuned for more information on community events through the SEHP webpage. Please share your comments/questions online through the Public Participation page and subscribe to an RSS feed for this webpage to receive notices of webpage updates.
For more information please contact us.
Thank you for a successful townhall on February 15th, 2011!
Residents of all the neighborhoods surrounding the Sheridan attended and shared their concerns with the Sheridan removal project, discussed ideas of what we can replace the highway with, and built relationships with other residents and local organizations. Numerous community organizations, political representatives, business interests and local school representatives were also in attendance. For those that couldn't make it, please keep in touch with the campaign through our mailing list and look out for events about the Sheridan Expressway through this website. Please check out our follow-up newsletter from the townhall to find out more information. If you have additional questions, please feel free

New York State Dept. of Transportation's Traffic Study Based on Flawed Data
Last spring, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) presented the computerized model they used to compare the potential impact on existing streets and roadways of keeping the Sheridan Expressway versus removing it. NYSDOT concluded that their model showed an increase in traffic if the Sheridan Expressway was removed. However, an independed technical consultant, Smart Mobility, hired by the Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance found NYSDOT's modeling to be flawed and to contain many errors.
Smart Mobility found the following problems with NYSDOT's model:
Independent experts agree - NYSDOT's model has too many flaws to determine the Sheridan's future!

Congressman Serrano announces $1.5 million grant will fund the creation of a vision plan for the Sheridan Expressway and Hunts Point area (Congressman Serrano's Press Release)
Congressman Jose E. Serrano supports TIGER II grant to plan the redesign of the Sheridan
"The TIGER II grant is fulfilling deep transportation and planning needs in our community," said Serrano. "Meanwhile, the creation of a vision plan that addresses the current and future needs of our community in the Hunts Point area and the Sheridan Expressway is of vital importance. We are eager to remake this area into a livable, walkable and green section of our community, and this is the first step towards achieving that goal. I am encouraged that this grant specifically states that this 'City-led, multi-agency, holistic planning process will be designed to respond to the needs and goals of the business and residential communities in the area.' This is precisely the process that all planning in our borough must undergo as we work to right the development and planning wrongs of many decades."
On Wednesday, July 15 2009 at 5.30 pm, the Alliance took a group photo on the Sheridan Expressway. The photograph was a repeat of a photograph taken nine years ago, and showed that at rush hour, there is still little traffic on the Sheridan. The traffic on the Sheridan is also cars commuting from Manhattan to the North Bronx and Westchester, not trucks. These cars could use the Bronx River Parkway if the Sheridan were taken down.
SBRWA is committed to envisioning and realizing a new future of the communities along the southern reaches of the Bronx River. Our neighborhoods are saturated with junkyards, waste transfer stations, brownfields, and truck-dependent wholesale markets that pollute our air, water, and soil. In the 1950s, Robert Moses built five major national highways in the Bronx without any thought to the people who lived there. As a result, for decades the Bronx has been a place that people drive through to get somewhere else. This legacy of economic and environmental injustice is what the Bronx has inherited, and our vision is to re-create the healthy environment, robust economy, efficient transportation network, and diverse community that used to exist here; all based around the Bronx River which is an ecological, economic, and social asset that should be enjoyed by all. Welcome to the Southern Bronx River Watershed!

Ladies of Mommy Makeover focus on nutrition
Check out Anytime Fitness' tips for creating healthy habits
By Erin Shultz
Anytime Fitness personal trainer Brad Webster said the ladies of Mommy Makeover can spend the rest of their lives in the gym, but the bulk of their results will rest on one thing.
"Nutrition is probably the biggest thing," he said. "It is probably right about 85 percent of weight loss."
Webster, personal trainer Rob Land and the gang at Anytime Fitness came up with a set of nutritional guidelines for our three moms, as they work out with personal trainers and let us peek into their weight loss over the next two months.
And just like the rest of Mommy Makeover, we thought we'd let you, the readers, up close and personal with the kind of changes Rebecca, Charity and Jennie are making.
Based on their heights and current weights, the three women will take in between 1,400 and 1,600 calories per day, broken up into three to four individual meals.
"Nutrition is like a roller coaster ride," said Webster. The idea, he says is to keep your blood sugar and calories pretty stable so you have energy all the time. You're looking for the little hills and small dips on the roller coaster when you eat three to four meals a day, rather than one meal, which leaves your body feeling like it's on the Tower of Terror.
Take a look at the kinds of changes the Anytime gang recommends to help these moms get back to their pre-baby bodies.
1. Fill up on colorful fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and veggies are the foundation of good health, Land says. Low in calories, nutrient dense, packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber — there's not much not to like about them. Land said they should be part of every meal and the first choice for a snack. And the women of Mommy Makeover are to eat at least five portions each day.
Land suggests getting a variety in the colors of the fruits and vegetables because different colors provide different health benefits. (Did you know greens are loaded with calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc and more?)
Land says to avoid fruit juices, which contain up to 10 teaspoons of sugar per cup, canned fruit, fried veggies and things with dressing or sauces.
2. Drink water.
Water makes up about 75 percent of our bodies, Land says, and helps our bodies flush our systems of waste products and toxins. If you're tired, have low energy or frequently get headaches, it could be because you're dehydrated, he says.
Caffeinated beverages cause the body to lose water, which fresh fruits and vegetables help with hydration.
Land suggests a minimum of 12 cups per day.
3. Eat healthy carbs and whole grains.
Healthy carbs — which digest slowly and help you stay full longer — include whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables, according to Land. They also help insulin levels stay stable.
Unhealthy carbs — which digest quickly and cause spikes in blood sugar levels and energy — include white flour, refined sugar and white rice.
Land suggests including a variety of whole grains in your diet, and trying to mix in whole grains little by little as you transition from something like white to whole wheat pasta.
4. Eat fiber.
Dietary fiber is found in plant foods — fruit, veggies and whole grains — and is important in maintaining a healthy digestive system, according to Land. It helps you feel full faster and for a longer amount of time, and also helps keep your blood sugar stable. A healthy diet contains approximately 20 to 30 grams of fiber a day.
5. Enjoy healthy fats and avoid unhealthy ones.
Newsflash — fats aren't bad. At least, not all of them. According to Land. Your body needs healthy fat to nourish your brain, heart and cells, as well as your hair, skin and nails.
The trick, according to Land, is picking the right fats.
Add to your diet:
• Monounsaturated fats come from plant oils like canola oil, peanut oil and olive oil as well as avocados, nuts — such as almonds, hazelnuts and pecans — and seeds — such as pumpkin and sesame.
• Polyunsaturated fats, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which are found in fatty fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines and some cold water fish oil supplements. Other sources are unheated sunflower, corn, soybean and flaxseed oils, and walnuts.
Reduce or eliminate from your diet:
• Saturated fats, which are found primarily in animal sources, including red meat and whole milk dairy products.
• Trans fats, which are found in vegetable shortenings, some margarines, crackers, candies, cookies, snack foods, fried foods, bakes goods and other processed foods made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
6. Protein, protein, protein.
Protein is important because it gives us the energy to get up and go — and to keep going.
Land suggests trying different sources of protein, which will open up new options for healthy meals such as beans (like black beans, navy beans, garbanzos and lentils), nuts (like almonds, walnuts, pistachios and pecans), and soy products (like tofu, soy milk, tempeh and veggie burgers.)
He also recommends focusing on quality sources of protein like fresh fish, chicken or turkey, tofu, eggs, beans and nuts.
