Angelica's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
Lakers, because I grew up with a family supporting the Lakers, so they're my favorite or else my family would disown me =p
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
Just Dance, Hell yes I would kick your butts at it! I own that game!
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
3 small tattoos, theyre all concealed one on my neck, my upper right butt cheek and a "shhh..." on my index finger dedicated to my mom. Ha! I have an industrial piercing on my left ear, and 2 on both my earlobes.
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
Backstreet Boys' Larger Than Life!
What's your best party trick?
I kick ass in beer pong...& beer bong! Oh and it seems to cheer people up when I dance the gangnam style! Hahaha..
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
It was a bit too much but here it is..."a human body has 206 bones, let me know if you want the 207th" ...I splashed my drink at his face for sure!
What's the worst job you've ever had?
Oh goodness, I worked at a fast food place where I served wearing roller skates! I dropped food all the time!
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
I was probably around 7 years old and I didn't want to go to school, so I jumped off the moving school bus right in front of my mom! Yup, so ever since then, if I ever told her I didn't feel like going to school, she let me stay home. #BOSS.

I was dared to grab a guy's ass at the club, & intoxicated or not, I am a very daring person...How about them apples!
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
just a pair of sexy panties and a guy's shirt
Tell us a joke.
A man walks into a bar and orders three beers. The bartender brings him the three beers, and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third, until they're gone. He then orders three more and the bartender says, "Sir, I know you like them cold, so you can start with one, and I'll bring you a fresh one as soon as you're low." The man says, "You don't understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the Ireland. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night, we'd still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three beers, too, and we're drinking together." The bartender thinks it's a wonderful tradition, and every week he sets up the guy's three beers. Then one week, the man comes in and orders only two. He drinks them and then orders two more. The bartender says sadly, "Knowing your tradition, I'd just like to just say that I'm sorry you've lost a brother." The man replies, "Oh, my brothers are fine -- I just quit drinking." HA!!!!

Hi Everyone,
Iron Mountain has always been one of my favorite mountains. I find it to be really intriguing because it is so rich in history. I did some research on the mountain and wrote up a quick history, or at least what I could piece together. If you're interested, my post is at the following address:
I also want to thank 1HappyHiker for helping me out with some of the information!
I hope you enjoy! I had fun writing it.

101 Cookbooks has a really delicious recipe for caramelized tofu tossed with shredded brussels sprouts and pecans. I was dubious at first but was immediately won over. Amazing! http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/caramelized-tofu-recipe.html
Just a quibble, but it's odd to see "zucchini and summer squash" in a listing of 20 ways to eat FALL vegetables for dinner. (Although, I've got a recipe for zucchini boats filled with parsnips...)
A local restaurant makes delicious butternut squash lasagna with roasted root veggies as the side. No recipe from them, but worth researching a similar one...
I cut up a few potatoes and sweet potatoes and an onion, toss in oil, then lay chicken breasts on top. 400 degrees for 40 minutes or so (you can check), and in the last 10 minutes toss dried cranberries into the veggies. SO GOOD, like Thanksgiving or Mom's roast chicken dinner, but all in one pan and very, very easy. You could toss in whatever other veggies you like, too.
We just got a "last hurrah" of summer squash from our CSA! And winter squash, though stored through the winter, grows in the summer, too. =)
I made a kale and potato soup last night! Except it also had tomatoes and chickpeas and chorizo ... !
It's a great collection with variety but I typically can't get anymore eggplant, zucchini or tomatoes in the fall. Where I live they are considered summer produce. But I do like the different techniques used in this recipe collection!

5 Ways to Defeat Skinny Fat
Take better care of yourself — no matter what you weigh.
- Get regular preventive health care — and know your numbers.
- Exercise regularly.
- Eat smart. Go big on vegetables, fruits, and whole grains — and easy on red meat, fats, refined grains, and sweets.
- Learn positive ways of coping with stress.
- Gather support for your healthy lifestyle by hanging out with healthy people.
by Beth Shepard, M.S., ACE-CPT, ACSM-RCEP, Wellcoaches Certified Wellness Coach
Most people know that being overweight or obese increases your risk of serious health problems — it's old news. If your body mass index (BMI) is within a normal range, you probably think you're off the hook, even if you don't exercise or eat right.
Think again. More than a decade of clinical research shows that many people are skinny fat, a popular buzzword describing men and women who appear healthy and fit on the outside. Many of these unsuspecting people have healthy BMIs, but are normal-weight obese; they're over-fat and at risk for developing obesity-related illnesses like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and more. What about you?
BMI vs. Body Fat Percent
Body mass index is a number used by health professionals to assess whether or not your weight is in a normal range based on your height. But a normal BMI of 18.5–24.9 offers a weight range of about 35-40 pounds — you could be at either end of the range, or somewhere in the middle, and still be considered normal. It doesn't account for body composition — fat or lean percent — and it's not accurate for heavily muscled or pregnant individuals. In essence, it's an imperfect measurement that offers a quick and easy, best-guess approach for assessing weight-related health risk.
In contrast, body fat percent offers an entirely different picture — it's a measurement that reveals whether or not you're carrying too much fat weight, regardless of the number on the scale.
The Big Deal
The concept of skinny fat is getting a lot of attention because we all know people who seem genetically blessed — maintaining a healthy weight without exercising or watching what they eat. But weight isn't the only thing that matters. Studies show that whatever you weigh, poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle elevate your health risks. Check out these research highlights related to the skinny fat concept:
- A recent study found 29% of subjects classified as lean and 80% of subjects classified as overweight via the BMI method fell within the obese category when body fat percentage was measured. Compared to subjects with normal body fat percentage, these individuals also had higher levels of cardiometabolic risk factors such as C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation.
- Another study of BMI-assessed normal-weight subjects found abnormal metabolic profiles associated with obesity, including elevated triglycerides, glucose, and C-reactive protein; low HDL cholesterol, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure. Subjects with higher body fat percentages were most likely to have abnormal metabolic profiles, despite having a normal BMI.
Its true – big things do come in small packages. Chia seeds are edible seeds rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3s that contain 2.6 g of ALA (alpha-linolenicacid) in only 1/2 a tablespoon. As if that that wasn't enough, Tiffani Bachus, RD, creator of Total Balanced Body, LLC, shares that they're a great source of both soluble and insoluble fiber, which helps support digestive function and acts as a natural detoxifying agent. Talk about packing a punch!
Ways to Enjoy:
So how can you enjoy these tasty little treats? For a new twist on toast and jam for breakfast, try Bachus' "Banana Jam" recipe.
- 1/2 tbsp. chia seeds
- 2 oz water
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 tsp. honey
- Cinnamon to taste
- Combine chia seeds with water in a bowl. Wisk vigorously for 30 seconds and set aside for 20 minutes until a gel is formed
- Mash the bananas with a fork. Add the honey and cinnamon and mix together
- Combine gel chia seeds with the mashed bananas
- Can be served on top of toast as a "jam"
Refrigerate the remaining chia gel. Use within 2 weeks.
If you ever get frustrated with your rate of progress (and who doesn't), just remember; success is always guaranteed to the persistent. Nothing in the world can stop someone who knows what they want and is willing to continue paying the price until they get it. It just takes time.
Become the architect and builder of your own dream body. You WILL build the body you want eventually if you're patient enough and you refuse to quit. And set your goals HIGH! Create a fantastic blueprint. Michelangelo said, 'The greatest danger is not that we set our goals too high and miss them, the greatest danger is that we set our goals too low and we reach them.'
Fitness Tip: Stand and Sit Up Straight - No slouching on the cardio equipment please! Stand up straight, hold your head up high, and get more out of your cardio workouts! Standing upright and supporting your own bodyweight uses the stabilizing muscles of the torso. The more muscles you use during any exercise, the more fat burning your body can do!
Fitness Tip: One Size Does not Fit All - Don't forget that weight training machines are designed to fit all different shapes and sizes. Make sure you take the time to adjust each weight machine to fit your body height and dimension. A few extra moments will reduce your risk of injury and make the exercise more effective.
Exercising While Your Pregnant
A Pregnancy Fitness Guide
Exercising While Your Pregnant - A Pregnancy Fitness Guide
There was a time when exercise during pregnancy was discouraged-but not anymore! Times have changed and we've gotten smarter about women's health. Most experts now encourage exercise during pregnancy.
In 2002, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists began recommending that pregnant women should exercise moderately for 30 minutes most days, if not every day (unless there are medical reasons prohibiting it).
Exercise benefits mom by:
- Improving muscle tone and cardiovascular fitness
- Reducing the risk of developing gestational diabetes
- Preventing excess weight gain
- Improving sleep patterns
- Preparing you to hold and carry your growing child
- Improving appearance and posture
- Promoting circulation and stimulating the digestive processes (which help prevent hemorrhoids, constipation, varicose veins, leg cramps and swelling in the ankles)
- Alleviating some of the discomforts of pregnancy, such as lower back pain
- Strengthening the muscles needed for labor and delivery, which can ease delivery and labor time
Exercise benefits baby by:
- Preparing the fetus to transition to the non-maternal environment
- Increasing placental efficiency for blood circulation, which supplies oxygen and nutrients to fetus
- Decreasing fetal fat without decreasing overall growth of the fetus
- Increasing newborn's readiness to self-calm and self-quiet
- Increasing fetal movement, which possibly helps develop oral language skills by age 5
The exercises you can do during pregnancy depend on two things: your current health and how active you were before you became pregnant. If you were not active before, don't use pregnancy as the time to begin a strenuous fitness regime; if you did exercise before pregnancy, you can continue your program with some slight modifications.
Before you begin (or continue) any exercise program, discuss it with your healthcare provider. Together, the two of you can plan an exercise program that is consistent with your current level of fitness and health conditions. It is mandatory that you consult a doctor first, especially if you have any of these conditions:
- Anemia
- Heart Problems
- Asthma or chronic lung problems
- High Blood Pressure
- Diabetes
- Thyroid Problems
- Seizures
- Extremely over or under weight
- Muscle or joint problems
- History of spontaneous miscarriages
- Repeated C Sections
- History of previous premature labors
- Carrying multiples (e.g., twins, triplets)
- Incompetent cervix
- Persistent bleeding
- A previously sedentary lifestyle
NOTE: If you experience problems such as bleeding, premature labor, dizziness, severe abdominal pain, or feeling unusually tired, during or after exercise, you should stop immediately and contact your healthcare provider before continuing.
You've been here before.
You told your friends that you were going to lose weight last year...only to fall off the wagon two weeks later and give up.
You managed to successfully fit into those old pair of pants back in January...before getting sick.
You won that weight loss competition at work...and immediately put all of the weight back on.
You started a blog to track your progress...and then gave up after two weeks.
You went to the gym for a whole month straight...before things at work got busy.
You've told yourself dozens of times before that "this time its going to be different" ...before doing things the same way as before and getting the same results.
No more.
This time, it really IS different.
This time, you've identified your kryptonite and know how to avoid it.
This time, you've identified how to build systems and remove emotion from the equation.
This time, you've built your support team.
This time, you've finally learned how to eat right and not let drinking stand in the way.
This time, you've decided to put your money where your mouth is, like Saint.
This time, you've stopped collecting underpants and put your focus on phase two.
This time, you've learned how to track your progress.
This time, you've finally realized that "eventually" never happens.
This time, you've finally realized that the ONLY person who believes your excuses is you.
Prove them wrongWhen you tell your friends you're going to get in shape, they might say "good for you" while secretly doubting you.
And who can blame them? You've been here before.
Prove them wrong.
And while you're at it, prove that little voice in your head that says "you can't do this" WRONG too.
Every single day, quietly "go to work" and get a little bit better.
Be thankful for all of the times you've failed before.
They got you where you are today.
And today's a brand new freaking day.
This time, it's different.
Now prove it.

Conniving. Manipulative. Scheming. I'm not talking about your ex; I'm talking about your grocery store. On your next trip, be prepared to fight back against the tactics most supermarket chains use to get you to spend more money on "extras" that you don't really need-tactics that affect your wallet and your health.
You're on your weekly grocery trip. You've got your list in hand, and you're ready to purchase the items you need for your healthy, preplanned meals. You walk through the supermarket doors and?oh! Look at the Fourth of July decorations! Visions of cookouts, party favors and kids with sparklers are now dancing through your head. You hang around the display, pick up a "two-for" deal on red, white and blue wrapped chocolates, and grab streamers and balloons because your sister-in-law might have forgotten supplies to jazz up the kids table for the party next week. 2,549 calories and at least $10 unplanned dollars later, you've been the victim of a grocery store scam.
Distractions at the grocery store happen, and that's no accident. Strategic product placements purposely distract you from your well-intended list and entice you to purchase those little extras. Supermarket chains spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to know exactly how, where, when, and why you shop. They use this information to get you to linger longer, fill your basket-make that your cart-to the brim, and spend more of your hard-earned cash than you intended to spend. But your grocer may be scamming more than just your wallet with these marketing maneuvers.
Let's put on our spy gear and take a mental tour through the supermarket to investigate the nooks and crannies where stores hide their tricks. Take note so the next time you head to the grocery, you'll have a plan of attack.
End the End Cap Enticement
Conveniently placed on the end of every aisle, "end caps" are home to sale items and seasonal kits that may not have been on your list but look oh-so-inviting when you see them. Items for s'mores, pumpkin pie, or green bean casserole are often creativity combined on these aisle ends. Foods on end caps are generally low in nutrients and high in added fat and sugar. Battle plan: If it's on your list for greater health, you just saved a trip down the aisle. If it's not, smile, but keep walking past the pretty display and find your next listed item.
Shelve Your Impulses
Major brands pay grocers to shelve their top-selling items at eye level. They even go so far as to place products geared toward children right within their little paws' reach-cartoon characters, bright colors and all are low to the ground or cart-level for wee ones who sit in the seat of your shopping cart. Battle plan: Make an educated decision. Glance up and down before choosing an item (less inexpensive generic items, often the same nutritionally, might be lower or higher on the shelf than more expensive brand named products). And always check out the nutrition facts label. Also, if you are shopping with the kiddies, ask them to help you find healthful foods in the store. Turn your grocery list into a scavenger hunt checklist to play as you shop.
Show Seasonal Spirit Who's Boss
Memorial Day (Super Bowl Sunday, Thanksgiving, or really, any other holiday) is right around the corner and you can bet your buttons the local grocer won't let you forget it! Decorations, party favors and supplies are mixed in with fat- and sugar-laden desserts and snacks, all in one convenient center aisle display. Grocery stores play on your holiday spirit, enticing you to pick up extra goodies on a whim! These add-ons amp up your bill at the check out and can add loads of calories to your stash very quickly. Battle plan: Plan your celebration, complete with healthy snacks and recipes, and stick to it. Ditch the "we just might need" mentality. Simplicity is best (and healthiest) during these times of year!
Boycott the Bakery
The smell of fresh bread, cinnamon rolls and apple pie is wafting through the baked goods area as you're picking up your whole-grain bread this week. Your senses are begging you to bring some home; it just smells too good! Many grocery stores strategically plan their baking times during the busiest hour of the day. It has been proved that shoppers pick up more items when the luscious smells are present in the store. Battle plan: You've heard this one before. Never shop on an empty stomach. Shopping after a meal can help stave off cravings and keep you focused on the task at hand. Think about the delicious meals you are shopping for and don't let distraction get the best of you. If you must, send in the troops to grab your items and avoid any too-tempting aisles altogether!
Bust by Bargains
You see the signs: 5 for $10! Buy two get one FREE! 2 for the price of 1! These "bargains" can seem like a great idea, but consider the product you're saving on. If it's on your list of super-healthy, nutritious foods, go for it! You've helped your health AND your pocketbook. However, consider the product-healthfulness should trump a bargain every time. Do you really need five rolls of cookie dough or a free box of pastries? It's not likely. Battle plan: If you're only getting it because it's on sale, you probably don't need it. The same rule goes for non-food items like toiletries, cleaning products and household items. No excuses here.
Free Yourself from Free Samples
When you see little carts set up with mini toasters and microwaves handing out bits and pieces of goodies, you've entered the realm of free samples. This tactic is widely implemented by grocers to increase products sales because it works wonderfully. Free sample stations are great ways to demonstrate the versatility of certain products, but how often are the featured foods healthful or nutrient-dense? How often are they full of vitamins, minerals, lean protein, healthy fats and fiber? How often do they feature whole, unprocessed foods that are naturally good for you? The products grocers generally hand out to promote sales are convenience items, ones that shouldn't be on your shopping list if you're trying to eat healthier. Battle plan: If the product is free of trans fats, made with whole grains or free of added sweeteners, enjoy a little nibble. Use your label-reading skills to determine if it's a healthful item you can pick up during your next grocery trip. Look at the amount of protein, calories, fiber, added sugars, salt, and types of fats to assess how healthful the food might be.
Outsmart Checkout Impulses
And the last, but certainly not least dangerous contact point between you and your supermarket's products is the checkout lane. Fully stocked with sugary, salty and saturated fatty snacks, these grab-n-go items can pack a punch when it comes to piling on empty calories. Along with the plethora of candy situated in the checkout aisle are cold sodas, foamy fountain drinks, salty trail mixes and magazines touting the latest weight-loss craze. You can easily add hundreds of calories and a few extra bucks to your bill in the minutes you spend checking out. Battle plan: Flip through a magazine you know you won't buy, chat with the person standing behind you in line, organize your groceries perfectly on the conveyor belt-anything to keep your hand from wandering to those impulse purchases. If you haven't eaten in hours and you don't think you can make it home, plan ahead and purchase an extra piece of fruit to eat on your ride home.
Focus first when it comes to grocery shopping. Be mindful and make your moves with intention to keep impulses at bay. Many times, our habits drive our purchase decisions and "wants" trump "needs." Making a list, sticking to it, and questioning yourself each time an "extra" almost lands in your cart will not only save you a pretty penny, but will also keep your healthy living habits on track.

Last year, we made passing mention of Malori Wampler, the ex-Indianapolis Colts cheerleader who had been fired for posing in "risqué" photographs at a Playboy magazine-sponsored party — and by "risqué," we mean clad only in body paint. For all intents and purposes, Wampler was basically naked. (And don't worry, dear readers, we've got photos, if you're interested in seeing that sort of thing.)
But rather than simply contesting the team's decision to fire her (after all, these pictures had been taken before she became an NFL cheerleader, and the team was aware that Wampler had worked at these parties in the past), Wampler decided to sue, alleging that the Colts had terminated her because of her sex, race, and national origin. Wampler wasn't fired because she had violated the team's rule against cheerleaders appearing in nude photos; no, she was fired because she was Indonesian.
Earlier this week, Wampler's case got some action in federal court. Let's find out what happened….

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the JVC Everio GZ-EX250 by Woody Sherman Shoot videos for posterity or posting online From birthday parties to YouTube antics, camcorders let you capture moments you can share with friends and family, or the world at large. Most newer camcorders save your videos to built-in digital memory or a removable memory card. Some models come with a built-in hard disk drive that gives you much more storage. For maximum portability, check out our smaller cams that fit into a pocket or purse. For high-def videos that look awesome on your HDTV, go for a slightly larger model with a better lens and image sensor. The JVC Everio GZ-EX250 features an intuitive touchscreen interface The camcorder busts out There are plenty of times when the trusty home camcorder lives in a closet or drawer, just waiting for the next family road trip or beach vacation. Rest assured that's not likely to happen with the JVC Everio GZ-EX250. With Wi-Fi® woven into every aspect of its feature set, it's just way too useful. Don't tell mom, the babysitter's electronic Because the 'EX250 can latch onto almost any Wi-Fi network, it's developed a bit of a split personality. Need to keep an eye on the baby while she sleeps? The '250 will send you a video feed, direct to your smartphone. With JVC's free app for iOS® and Android devices, your phone or tablet can be your critical viewfinder during shoots, your camcorder's remote control, or your home security alarm. The useful data travels both ways, as the camera will use GPS information from your phone to geo-tag your videos. The camera has a few network tricks all on its own: it will email a 15-second video clip to up to 8 preset addresses, for instant reports from your vacation. And it can email snapshots to your PC through any Internet access point. It's got the essentials down When it comes to the things you should ask every day of your camcorder, it's got you covered. The 'EX250 boasts a top-of-its-class 40X optical zoom ratio, to get you that shot when you can't move closer. It has an Advanced Image Stabilizer, to take the shake and shimmy out of those long zoom shots. And the JVC Everio Series Super LoLux technology, in combination with the 'EX250's light-gathering f/1.8 lens, ensures superior sensitivity to low light. Those dusk, night, and candlelight scenes will retain their sharpness and color saturation. Plus, the '250 has 16GB of on-board flash memory to get you up and rolling right away. There are creative touches like a Smile Meter that measures smile levels to make sure you're rolling when the fun's pegging at maximum. Add an intuitive touchscreen interface and variable-interval time-lapse recording and you've got a camcorder that deserves to make the leap from closet to pocket, purse, or daypack. With all those skills, why would you ever leave it at home?

General Features Wi-Fi Recording Features Power Requirements Inputs and Outputs Software General Features Full HD Recording: The JVC HD Everio GZ-EX250 compact digital camcorder is capable of recording Full 1920 x 1080 HD video onto the 16 GB built-in memory or optional SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards. You can copy files from the built-in memory to an SD card. In addition, the unit can output your recordings at 1080p resolution for superb picture quality on TVs that support 1080p input signals. SD Card Slot: The GZ-EX250 has a slot for SD memory cards. The unit is compatible with SD cards up to 2 GB, SDHC cards from 4 GB to 32 GB, and SDXC cards up to 64 GB. A 64 GB SDXC card can hold over 5-1/2 hours of Full HD video at the highest recording quality. Class 4 or higher SD cards are recommended for video recording. No SD cards are included with the camcorder. Seamless Recording: If you are recording onto the built-in memory, the Seamless Recording feature allows you to continue recording onto the SD card without stopping when the remaining space on the built-in memory runs out. The videos that are recorded on two separate media can be combined into a single video. 3" LCD Touch Screen Monitor: The GZ-EX250 is equipped with a "frameless" 3" Touch Panel LCD monitor. The monitor can be set to one of four brightness settings, or Auto, which sets the brightness to 4 when used outdoors and 3 indoors. The LCD has 230,000 pixels, and can rotate 270° for best visibility when shooting at difficult angles. The camcorder includes a stylus pen for more accuracy when using touch controls. Imaging Device: The camcorder has a 1/5.8" back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with 1,500,000 total pixels. It has a recording area of 630,000 to 1,250,000 effective pixels for recording video, 930,000 effective pixels for recording 4:3 still images, and 1,250,000 effective pixels for 16:9 still images. The image sensor, along with the Falconbrid high-speed processor, lets you shoot clear color images in low light situations, as well as high-speed recording for super slow-motion playback. Konica Minolta Lens: The GZ-EX250 has a bright F1.8-6.3 Konica Minolta HD lens with a 40x optical zoom, and a focal length of 2.9mm to 116mm. The 35mm equivalent focal length for video is 45.6mm-1824mm (AIS on) and 42.0mm-1680mm (AIS off). For still images, the focal length is 51.4mm-2056mm in 4:3 and 42.0mm-1680mm in 16:9. Zoom: The camcorder offers four options for zooming. In addition to the 40x optical zoom, you can select dynamic zoom of up to 70x (Standard Definition only), or digital zoom of up to 80x or 200x. When the digital zoom is used, the image can become grainy as the subject is enlarged digitally. Note: Digital zoom is available for video recording only. Optical Image Stabilization: You can choose from two levels of image stabilization. The Optical Image Stabilizer reduces camera shake during video recording. The Advanced Image Stabilizer (AIS) is available when recording bright scenes at the wide angle end of the zoom range (5x or less). Wi-Fi Built-in Wi-Fi: The GZ-EX250 has built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing you to monitor your videos in real time using a smartphone or computer using a wireless connection. Wireless connections can be made via an Access Point or Wi-Fi Direct (Everio Sync), using a free app for Android phones and tablets, iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Wi-Fi functions include: Live Monitoring: The one-to-one wireless connection of the camcorder to your smartphone or PC allows real-time monitoring from another room. Home Detection Monitoring: When a subject enters the detecting area, the camcorder will automatically take a digital still image and send it via email to your smartphone or computer through Wi-Fi. Video Email: You can record a 15-second video clip and have it directly emailed to up to 8 registered smartphone or computer addresses via Wi-Fi. Smartphone Linking: Using the free app for your smartphone or tablet, you can do the following: Geotagging: Using Google Earth and the GPS function on your smartphone, the current location data can be embedded into the recorded video and stills. When played back using the included Everio MediaBrowser 4 software, the images synchronize with Google Earth. Data Transfer: You can access the camcorder via your smartphone and download recorded video and still images. If desired, you can upload them to your favorite sites like YouTube or Facebook. Remote Recording: You can use your smartphone as a remote control, and operate the camcorder from a distance, including the zoom and record start/stop functions. Wi-Fi Specifications: Wireless LAN Standard: IEEE802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz band) Using Everio Sync: Supported Terminals: iPhone/iPad iOS 4.3.5 or later (presesntly does not work with iOS 6), and Android 2.1 or later Signal Strength: minimum line speed of about 5.3 Mbps is recommended Using Web Browser: Operating Environment: OS: Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 9 (or later) and Windows Media Player 12 (or later) installed CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz or higher Memory: 2 GB or higher Signal Strength: minimum line speed of about 10 Mbps for Full HD, 3 Mbps for SD, and 1.7 Mbps for Motion JPEG. Recording Features Video Recording Quality: When recording video you can choose from four Full High Definition (1920 x 1080) and two Standard Definition (720 x 480, interlaced) image quality settings. The image quality settings include UXP (24 Mbps bit rate), XP (17 Mbps), SP (12 Mbps), EP (4.8 Mbps), SSW (6.2 Mbps) and SEW (3 Mbps). The approximate video recording time using the 16 GB built-in memory is: UXP: 1 hour 20 min XP: 1 hour 50 min SP: 2 hours 40 min EP: 6 hours 40 min SSW: 5 hours 10 min SEW: 10 hours 40 min Still Image Sizes: In addition to recording HD and SD video, the GZ-EX250 can record still images in 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. You can set the image sizes to 1920 x 1080 (2M), 1440 x 1080 (1.5M), or 640 x 480 (0.3M). Still images can also be taken during video recording by simply pressing the Snapshot button. The size of the still image captured in video mode is 1920 x 1080. The 16 GB built-in memory can hold 9999 still images of any size. High-Speed Video Recording: By recording videos at a high speed, the videos can be played back in smooth slow-motion. High-speed video recording can be handy for emphasizing movements, such as a golf swing or a tennis stroke. Video is recorded at 300 frames per second at a resolution of 720 x 480. Playback time is 6 times the actual recording time. The maximum recording time is 2 hours, which would take 12 hours to play back. Intelligent Auto: You can record video or still images without worrying about the setting details by using the Intelligent Auto Mode. Exposure and focus will be automatically adjusted to suit the shooting conditions. Super LoLux: The GZ-EX250's Super LoLux feature ensures superior sensitivity to low light. The back-illuminated CMOS sensor lets you capture clear images with precise colors, even in low light. The camcorder's minimum illumination is 3 lux. When the NightAlive scene is selected, the minimum illumination is 1 lux. Face Recognition: The camcorder will recognize human faces, and will track the faces while they are in the frame. The Smile Shot feature keeps track of how much the detected faces are smiling (using a % display), and automatically takes a picture every time the smile % reaches a certain level. Faces can be registered in the camera and given an identifying name. In addition to Face Recognition, the camcorder will also perform Pet Shot when the face of a registered pet is recognized in the monitor. Picture Decorating: After a still image is captured, you can decorate it with decorations or hand-written captions. There are 8 types of decorations and 16 types of stamps that can be added to photographs. Using the supplied stylus pen, you can draw on the picture or print a name or date right on the image. Time-Lapse Photography: The GZ-EX250 can take a series of frames at a set interval to illustrate within a short time changes to a scene that occur slowly over a long period of time. This feature can be used to photograph the opening of a flower bud, or the passing of clouds over several hours. You can set the interval at 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, or 80 seconds. The longer the interval, the faster the video will be when played back. (Example: recordings taken at 2 second intervals will be played back at 60 times speed.) Auto Recording: The Auto Recording function lets you record video or still images automatically by sensing changes in the subject's movement within a designated area displayed on the LCD monitor. Recording continues as long as there is movement within the area, and stops after 5 seconds of no movement. This allows you to use the camcorder as a surveillance camera or to observe something. Power Requirements Battery: The GZ-EX250 is powered by the BN-VG114U Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery (3.6V/1400mAh). Optional, longer-life batteries, such as BN-VG121U and BN-VG138U, will also work with this camcorder. The batteries charge while attached to the camcorder, using the supplied AC-V11U AC adapter. The approximate recording and charging times for each battery is as follows: Battery Pack Recording Time Charging Time Typical Continuous BN-VG114U (supplied) 1 hr 5 min 2 hrs 2 hrs 30 min BN-VG121U 1 hr 40 min 3 hrs 5 min 3 hrs 30 min BN-VG138U 3 hrs 5 hrs 30 min 6 hrs 10 min Inputs and Outputs HDMI: The camcorder has a Mini HDMI (Type C) output for connecting to an HDTV. A Mini-HDMI-to HDMI cable is required to connect the camcorder to an HDTV for viewing high definition video and still images. No HDMI cable is included with the camcorder. If the connected TV is compatible with HDMI-CEC (consumer electronics control), you can operate the camcorder using the remote from the TV. USB: The Mini-B Version 2.0 connector allows you to connect the camcorder to your computer for downloading your videos and photos. It can also be used for connecting to a DVD Writer, BD Writer (External Blu-ray Drive), or USB External Hard Disk Drive. A 40" USB cable is included. AV: The 3.5mm minijack AV output lets you connect the camcorder to a TV for playing back Standard Definition videos and still images. You can also connect to a DVD recorder or VCR. A 39" AV cable, with composite video and stereo RCA audio plugs, is included. DC Power: The camcorder has an AC adapter for connecting the camcorder to standard household electrical power.

Quick impressions from the Lab Comment by Ralph Graves Staff Writer - Creative, Compact and fun Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 5/1/2012 11:56:00 AM This is definitely a small camcorder! The Everio GZ-EX250 makes the most of its small space with some nice design efficiencies. Although it has a touchscreen, touchscreen controls are used sparingly. That keeps the 3" screen from getting cluttered up with a lot of icons. Control buttons on the side of the camcorder handle most of the major functions. The Everio is the kind of camcorder I could throw in a backpack (or even coat pocket). And why would I do that instead of just shoot with a smartphone? Higher-quality image resolution for one thing, in both video and photos. And with and 16GB of memory, I can fill up the camcorder and not clutter up my smartphone with video.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the NAD C556 by Dave Bar Vinyl is for music lovers You can always count on NAD to deliver the goods when it comes to no-nonsense audio gear for music enthusiasts. Their C 556 turntable is no exception. This 'table makes an excellent choice for vinyl newcomers and seasoned audiophiles alike who want outstanding sound quality without spending a fortune. NAD's minimalist design philosophy focuses strictly on the features that benefit sonic performance, without any unnecessary bells and whistles. Why not discover for yourself why audiophiles remain so enthusiastic about warm, detailed analog sound? A handmade tonearm and precision bearings help bring out the best in your records. Why does it sound so good? The C 556's sturdy chassis rests on shock-absorbing rubber feet that provide a solid, vibration-resistant foundation. Its pressure-cast resin platter is both inert and massive, ideal for suppressing non-musical resonances and acting as a flywheel to reduce speed variations. The platter spins on a special bronze and stainless steel bearing assembly for smooth, silent rotation. The motor mount and belt drive system are designed to isolate the motor's vibration from the chassis to prevent noise from being transferred to the cartridge. Finally, the table's hand-built aluminum alloy tonearm glides on precision bearings at the gimbal pivot point, and includes a cueing lever to gently raise and lower the arm protecting both the stylus and your records. Easy to enjoy NAD makes it easy to enjoy your vinyl right away. That's why the C 556 comes out of the box virtually ready to play. Its pre-matched, factory-mounted phono cartridge and tonearm take the guesswork out of installation, and give you optimized sound quality with minimal effort. A few simple steps to dial in key settings like tracking force and anti-skating are all it takes to get this player primed and ready to deliver spacious, detailed music.

Features Specifications Features Overview: The NAD C 556 Turntable will make your vinyl record collection sound lush, vibrant and spacious. The secret to a good sounding turntable is to make a rock solid mechanical connection between the platter and the pickup stylus. Any play or vibration will either add resonant coloration (making the smack of a snare drum sound like a thud) or subtract the fine detail that is the primary benefit of well-played vinyl. To achieve this goal NAD uses special materials and techniques. With its minimalist design, NAD's C 556 Turntable offers accurate reproduction of vinyl music by using performance-focused parts and components that put music first. High Quality Mechanisms: The three mechanisms that make up a turntable are the platter that supports and spins the record; the tone arm, which allows the stylus to accurately track the record; and the cartridge, which transforms the vibrations in the record groove into the electrical signals that are sent to your preamplifier. Rigid Platter: The platter of the C 556 uses a special phenolic resin that is pressure cast to create the ideal properties of being both massive and inert. The mass creates a "flywheel effect" that eliminates small, and very unmusical, speed variations called wow and flutter. The mass also rejects unwanted external vibrations, and combined with the extreme hardness of the phenolic material, suppresses vibrations in the audible range. This massive platter requires a precision low friction bearing to allow smooth and stable revolving motion. A special bronze body with a stainless steel ball bearing provides a point-perfect contact with the hardened steel shaft of the platter assembly. This is the ideal design for minimal friction, and a complete elimination of any play or "wobble". The bearing is firmly connected to the rigid and well-damped base that provides a rigid connection to the tone arm. A precision synchronous clock motor keeps the platter spinning at exactly 33 1/3 RPM and its own vibrations are carefully isolated from the platter by a synthetic rubber belt and from the base by rubber isolation mountings. Hand-Built Tone Arm: The tone arm must have the lowest possible mass while still maintaining a rigid, vibration-free connection to the record. To achieve this contradictory goal, the C 556 uses a hand-built arm featuring an alloy tube and precision bearings at the gimbal pivot. A simple counter weight balance is combined with a magnetic anti-skate bias control to make for a friction-free pivot that allows the cartridge to operate in an ideal environment. Pre-Mounted Cartridge: The pre-mounted Ortofon OM 5e cartridge (MM) is itself a masterpiece of modern engineering. Building on 50 years of cartridge design expertise, and including the latest materials and precision manufacturing techniques, Danish company, Ortofon, has created a cartridge that outperforms some of the most expensive cartridges from the not-too-distant past. The OM 5e (Optimum Mass) features an elliptical diamond stylus that can extract the maximum information from your LPs while tracking flawlessly and exerting only 1.75 grams of tracking force to preserve your precious record collection. Tailored Speeds: To further reduce speed inconsistencies and wear on the drive belt, you can modify and change the playing speed of your vinyl records. By removing the platter, you can move the belt to either the 33 or 45 rpm wheel of the drive pulley to attain the correct pitch of a musical track. Attached Output Cable: The NAD C 556 Turntable is fitted with an attached 41" stereo RCA cable. Connect the turntable to the Phono input of your home receiver. If your home receiver is not equipped with a Phono input, you will need to purchase an external phono-preamplifier (such as the NAD's phono-preamps, sold separately). Dust Cover: The NAD C556 comes supplied with a dust cover to prevent dust build-up on the turntable.

If you have had experience with turntables you'd find that some tables can HUM due to feedback/resonance or close proximity to system/amplifier. This unit will do that if you don't take the time to insulate it from it's surroundings. Once you get that down you'll find it is one of the finest units you can buy especially for the price. It does not do well when dropped down a flight of stairs as I found out the hard way, so I have to buy another...and I will... Pros: light weight, great preinstalled cartridge., Cons: doesn't do well when dropped from heights ! 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 out of 5 NAD C556TT Written By robert, Ashburn on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very low quality, light in weight, felt like it was made of plastic. The minute I began using it a loud hum was apparent. Called tech services, they couldn't really help getting to the bottom of it. The obvious problem with hums in turntables is the grounding wire. No way to repair this as the hook up's i.e..,, rca's, grouding wire, ac, etc. are built internal to the turntable, thus no access. I finally gave up and returned it. Crutchfield's excellent return policy allowed me to do so. They even paid for the shipping. I then went to a Music Hall 5.1 se. Now that's a turntable. Avoid NAD for turntables, they are better at amp, preamps, cd/br players and receivers. Pros: Crutchfield's return policy. Cons: Cheap feel to the turntable, unrepairable hum. RCA's are built into the turntable. 6 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good Product / Limited Documentation Written By PLG 3, Hudson, OH on Monday, December 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The turntable sounds very good--consistently. No wobble, no rumble. It has an inconspicuous profile that fits in well with my other NAD equipment. It sets up easily--IF you have had experience in the past with turntable set-up and know where to look for packing material, tape, etc. There is very little information on set-up in the provided documentation. Pros: Good design, good sound, quiet operation Cons: Very limited documentation, especially so far as set-up is concerned 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great turntable for the price Written By wayne, el paso, texas on Friday, December 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have been a turntable user since 1965 and in the interim, I have had some pretty nice ones - be advised , however, that this one is a winner - easy to set up, easy to use and the factory installed cartridge will surprise you - as part of a good home theater system, this table rocks - go for it - Pros: A+ Cons: none 6 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked I am comparing this turntable with the Pro-ject 1 Xpression. How do they compare?, I don't see the speed variance and wow and flutter for the Nad.
