Cups of coffee are not created equally. Any coffee drinker can agree upon that. Aside from what type of device is used to brew the coffee, beans, name brands, added sugars, milk, and sweeteners attract debate.

So, how can one who is definitive about their love of coffee go about brewing the ‘perfect’ cup of coffee? Read on to learn more about the craft of brewing coffee.

Fresh Beans

Do you think a chef at a popular restaurant is okay with using dated meats and ingredients to craft their menu? Of course, they would be very selective in wanting only the freshest ingredients. Coffee drinkers are the same whether they know it or not. Fresh beans taste way better when brewed versus drinking grounds that have sat in a can for months on the grocer’s shelf.

Car Review: 2015 Honda CR-V Touring

2015 Honda CR-V.

The Honda CR-V is a compact crossover that has been a leader in its segment for years and is now in its fourth generation. It’s America’s best-selling SUV for the past decade and was substantially refreshed for the 2015 model year. AS a result, the 2015 CR-V was named Motor Trend’s 2015 Sport/Utility of the Year.

So we knew we had a well-received vehicle on our hands when we tested the new CR-V recently for a week. We also had the all-new Touring trim model loaded with extra features like the leather interior and moonroof, and after a week in the vehicle, we can safely say it lived up to its reputation.

2015 Lexus GX 460 a

The Lexus GX is a midsize, luxury SUV that probably qualifies for the “dream car” list for soccer moms all across the country. We had one of those soccer moms as one of our team of test drivers, and she certainly loved this vehicle. The rest of the team was pretty happy with it as well. And what’s not to like? It’s big and comfortable and loaded with the modern luxuries we all love in our new cars.

But it’s also a traditional SUV with body-on-frame construction, a standard V8 engine, a 4WD system and advanced dynamic control technologies. So if you’re looking for a luxury vehicle that can do more than pick up the kids and groceries, the GX offers an excellent option.

Running Injuries

Running is a great way to burn calories, release endorphins, and improve your cardiovascular health. It can be a healthy activity to do with friends and loved ones, and many enjoy the thrill of competing in races of various lengths. While the number of benefits one can gain from running is vast, so is the number of injuries that may come along with it – especially when covering longer distances. Running injuries are the result of different factors, which include not stretching properly, insufficient footwear, or possible musculoskeletal problems. These injuries can potentially put a stop to running and cause further damage if not cared for properly. Below are some of the most common running injuries, and how you can treat and prevent them so you can get back on track.

1. Runner’s Knee
What is commonly referred to as “runner’s knee” is actually patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), and it is irritation of the cartilage beneath the kneecap. This irritation may be due to biomechanical factors such as over pronation (excessive rolling in of the foot), and weak hips, quadriceps, and glute muscles. If you are experiencing this pain, it is best to decrease the amount of running, or taking a break altogether if the pain persists. While on your hiatus, work on strengthening the surrounding musculature of the hip, glutes, and quadriceps. Look into alternate forms of cardio such as the elliptical or swimming until you are ready to hit the pavement again.
