I have a Vitamix to help me with my vegetable intake. I just toss in a bunch of fruits to mask the veggies.
Anyway, I was searching for some smoothie recipes, and I stumbled upon something that blew my mind - you're not supposed to mix fruits and veggies. Purportedly, it creates a chemical imbalance because your body breaks down fruits and veggies differently. Worst case scenario, you don't absorb the nutrients and toxic builds up in your body.
Anybody else heard about this?
Seems these days, science is getting way too advanced for my peace of mind. I also read you're not supposed to mix meat and potatoes.
The Fitness Industry is a 1 billion dollar industry.
--Dairy Queens Blizzard pulls in 3/4 of a billion.
--------------We are the elite.------------
Well first off, our perjorative definition of a "fruit" versus a "vegetable" isn't usually correct...
If you read something online that sounds ridiculous or stupid, it probably is.
I would also hazard a guess that if you google "toxins" about 99% of what turns up complete bunk.

So I did some research, and this is what turned up.
To fully understand why you should not combine fruits and vegetables while juicing, you may want to get a book from the library about food combining.
When you learn about food combining, you will realize that certain foods work well together and other foods do not.
Vegetables require different enzymes for digestion than fruits. When you combine the two, you create bad digestion. Since the whole purpose of juicing is to improve your nutritional intake, mixing fruits and vegetables together is not a good idea because you sabotage your digestion which in turn hampers your ability to absorb the nutrition.
The only exception is apples which have a neutral effect and can be blended with vegetables.
Saying that, when you juice, you want to focus more on juicing vegetables than fruits anyway. It's better to eat fruits since fruits are easily digested and most of the health benefits, such as fruits ability to cleanse the body, are only obtained when eaten whole. Drinking fruit juice is more a treat. Fruits are just too high in sugar to be juiced all the time.
One possible reason why others say that you can juice vegetables and fruits is because they are in the business of selling juice machines. As a result, they need to make juicing glamorous and delicious in order to sell their juicers. But if you are serious about juicing, you will quickly realize that the sugar content of fruit makes them unsuitable for frequent juicing. Why? Because a sugar is a sugar is a sugar, no matter its form or origin. All sugars, in excess, lead to sugar related health problems hypoglycemia and diabetes are the two most common sugar related health problems.
Here's the first paragraph of another article, that gets way technical.
The principle behind food combining is that different food classes require different enzymes, different rates of digestion, and different digestive pHs for proper digestion. If the foods of the different food classes are combined incorrectly, the specific requirements for their proper digestion tend to cancel each other. For example, flesh foods require an acid media for digestion, whereas milk is highly alkaline, so it can neutralize the acid required for digesting the flesh foods. Fruit digestion results in the release of an alkaline secretion, which neutralizes the acid secretions, needed for protein digestion. Because of this, it is not a good idea to eat fruits and proteins at the same meals. Some foods are digested faster than others. If fast-digesting foods like fruits are held up in the digestive system for a longer time than necessary through being combined with foods that digest more slowly, fermentation takes place. For this reason, it is good for digestion to eat fruit and starches, which are digested slowly at different meals. Fruits and vegetables require different digestive enzymes, which tend to neutralize each other, so these too are best taken at separate meals. The simplest rule of food combining is to eat foods or combinations of foods that in our direct experience are easiest to digest. It is usually easy to digest foods from the same food group or from two compatible food groups. Vegetables should be eaten with protein meals and carbo meals. However, too much of even a single food is taxing on the digestive system. Easy to digest combinations include predigested proteins with vegetables or sweet or sub acid fruits.
Okay, so I did a search on "food combining." I guess that's the term for it. Here's the chart you should stick to, for healthy absorbtion and digestion of nutritional intake. Bummer indeed.

If you are really curious about digestion/foods pick up a textbook about biochemistry, or ask Holto some questions as he knows a lot more about the nutritional side of things than I do.

i could see maybe acidic fruits and alkaline veggies not being good... dont know why
For those who respond ridiculous, it does seem that some of the "food combining theory" is ridiculous - such as the notion that protein and carbohydrate cannot be combined. That is fundamentally ridiculous because many foods found naturally in nature (such as legumes and nearly all leafy greens) contain both starch and protein.
However, I do think there is some merit to the the "no fruits and veggies" thing. I recently started trying to get more veggies in my diet. I was already at 3-5 servings a day, but I wanted to get more like to 8-12. So I tried shoving spinach, kale, collard greens and carrots into a blender. Not a juicer...a blender. That way I still get the fiber.
It tasted like licking the lawn mower....
So I tried adding fruit to mask the horrible earthy taste of the veggies.
I added an orange one day...incredible rancid horrible gas ensued about 30 minutes later and continued for hours.
The next day I tried blueberries...same rancid gas.
Next day I tried strawberries...same rancid gas.
Got rid of the fruit and went back to pure veggie shake - fine again.
In both instances, I was also eating protein and fat with this meal.
The only variable that changed was whether or not I ate fruit.
Pure veggies in shake = no gas.
Veggies + any type of fruit = horrible, frequent, uncomfortable gas.
And just to cover all angles, fruit doesn't bother me any by itself or when combined with anything else. Been eating it for years. It wasn't until I came up with this "super shake" idea and had to deal with the "peel paint off the walls" gas that it caused that I came across food combining.
something to consider...

Thanks guys, I'll continue to mix fruits and veggies... for now.
If it's true that you shouldn't combine fruits and veggies, then you were probably experience the digestive complications that are supported by the theory. Different chemicals are employed by your system to break down the food you consume, and sometimes they can counteract and cause problems.
I've also read that blending fruits and/or vegetables pulverizes all the cell walls of the food, and hence all the nutrients are readily available when you consume the liquified result. This could be too much, too soon for your body to absorb, and thus resulting in complications.
I have the same thing with apples. I don't know what it is. I can eat apples with no problem. Once I juice it or blend it, I'm running to the bathroom two or three times over the span of a couple hours. This happens once every two times I drink natural apple juice out of my kitchen.
Funny thing is, it doesn't happen when I blend the apples with other fruits, like grapes, kale, spinach, berries, etc. I don't get it, but I try not to delve into it too much, 'cause it seems like the more I do, the more I find out how scary science can be. I'm having trouble getting my veggie intake, as is. I don't need more deterrents to throw me off course.
Thank's fir share
This was big in the seventies (the dark ages of nutrition). I believe is grew out of the concept of vegetarians needing to mix sources for a complete protein. The next stage was considering what did not mix well. Different types of foods are digested at various stages of the digestive process, based on the enzymes and co-factors required for their breakdown.
If two foods upset your stomach, then obviously don't eat them together. ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING TO NEVER MIX THOUGH is do not brush your teeth right after drinking grapefruit juice. Tastes nasty!
It's so easy to think the "basic" nature of something like milk would neutralize the acid of HCL and yes, the overall PH of chyme would indeed be lowered but not nearly as enough to impact it's effectiveness in breaking things down. This is a clear case of just having a surface understanding. It's like thinking that foods that increase insulin are fat promoting. The reality is much deeper.
The Fitness Industry is a 1 billion dollar industry.

--------------We are the elite.------------
I have a vitamix as well. When I first got it, I went nuts mixing everything I could think of. I didn't have a problem with digestion as far as stomach pain, but I had the worst gas imaginable. I don't know if it was from the blends I was making, or maybe I was getting "too-much" fiber, etc... Anyways, I stopped blending fruit vegetable smoothies and have been just using it for my PWO shake and other fruit blends. Again, I don't know the exact cause, maybe I had a bug or something. As mentioned in this thread, I too came across food combining as I was researching "why" on the Web. It may be BS, but I feel there is some validity to it.

The Explanation
(for those who require one)
And, of course, that is what all of this is -- all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs -- that song, endlesly reincarnated -- born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 -- same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."

Volunteer travel abroad and in the United States appeals to many vacationers. "We travel a fair amount, but it's valuable to us to really feel connected with other communities above and beyond seeing tourist sites. It's understanding what we all have in common and getting beyond our own individual day-to-day aspirations and seeing the bigger picture." says Warren, a Hawaiian physician. He, his wife and two children, ages 11 and 16, spent two weeks over Christmas at a refuge for troubled boys near Guatemala City. "It was very rewarding and actually one of the most enjoyable vacations we've ever had."
Last year, one-quarter of the travelers queried in the Voice of the Traveler survey by the Travel Industry Association said they were currently interested in taking a volunteer or service-based vacation. Baby Boomers formed the group expressing the strongest interest, and the largest share (47 percent) of those interested in taking a volunteer vacation fell into the 35-54 year-old range.
If you decide you'd rather be an armchair traveler, most of these organizations have a link where you can donate money to support volunteer projects or to help fund other travelers who want to donate time but may not have sufficient funds for a volunteer trip. Choose a cause that you feel passionate about, or one that sounds like a project where other travelers could offer valuable physical or mental expertise.
If you are trying to decide if a volunteer vacation is right for you read Visit How To Decide if Voluntourism -- Volunteer Travel -- Is for You.1) i-to-i
i-to-i is a company that sends more that 5,000 people a year to volunteer at local projects around the world and immerse themselves in local cultures. These travelers choose voluntourism -- combining traditional travel with volunteer work -- to help make a difference in their lives and others.

Voluntourism.org is a Web site with lots of information about taking volunteer vacations, and combining volunteerism and travel during Voluntour(sm)
3) CheapTickets.com
CheapTickets.com has teamed up with United Way to offer travelers a route to setting up volunteer vacations, or adding a day or more of volunteering during a planned trip.
4) Sierra Club Outings
Sierra Club Outings runs volunteer travel trips around the United States from New York City's parks to Wyoming's rugged backcountry.
5) International Volunteer Programs
International Volunteer Programs Association is a consortium of international volunteer programs that have one- or two-week to six-month programs.
6) Volunteer Abroad

7) United Nation's World Volunteer Web
The United Nation's World Volunteer Web is an online global clearing house for information and resources linked to volunteerism.
8) Earthwatch Institute
On a volunteer vacation or trip with the non-profit Earthwatch Institute you could take an Amazon river trip to help with the conservation of monkeys, sea otters and birds; trap and track puma, jaguarundi and other cats in Argentina's pampas grass; or collect data to help save the endangered forest marsupials in Australia.
9) responsibletravel.com
Run by a United Kingdom-based travel agency, the responsibletravel.com Web site focuses on eco-holidays, including many that offer a volunteer work component.
10) American Jewish World Service
The American Jewish World Service (AJWS) offers individual and group service programs for Jews interested in traveling to foreign countries to volunteer for grassroots social change projects.
Are You A VolunTourist?
Combining a vacation or trip abroad with volunteering on local projects is one way you can immerse yourself in local cultures and make a difference. First, however, you need to ask yourself some serious questions to help decide where and what type of volunteer travel you'd enjoy. What's your passion? Animal conservation? Teaching kids or helping them? Rebuilding homes destroyed by hurricanes or a tsunami? Are you willing to live and work with people whose culture and outlook is very different that your own? Can you handle living in a tent or shack with an outhouse or do you want to be in a hotel? Visit How To Decide if Voluntourism -- Volunteer Travel -- Is for You.

The Emmay Baby Care Brush and Comb Set is designed especially for your baby's hair. The soft brush is designed to reduce pulling at tangled hair
Bought this for the brush as my two month old has cradle cap and needs regular brushing. Nice and soft and perfect for the job. Cheap price too.
As we have been bathing out 7 week old more frequently due to the recent heat wave, I've been looking for a soft brush to keep her hair from being a mess afterwards. When I've found appropriate brushes within little grooming kits, the brush is always a bit misshapen so was pleased when this arrived perfectly packaged in great condition. Now our little one's first hair gets a little brushing after her bath to keep it neat as it dries.
I needed a brush for my 3rd born. I was worried about buying one online because I'd prefer to feel the stiffness; however, the other review made me think it was worth buying. Im glad I did - its just right. I can massage the skin to clear up cradle cap. I even got a smile from baby
Cute n nice
I bought this brush to help with daughter's cradle cap, its soft so I don't need to worry about it ripping bits of skin off that aren't loose yet. She doesn't mind having her hair brushed with it at all.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — According to the New York State Police, there were 769 murders in the state last year. The New York State Division of Criminal Services reported that there were only five murders in all of Niagara County. However, according to the New York State Department of Health, there were 813 induced abortions taking place in Niagara County that year, while the state experienced 115,008 of them.
With their stronger intrusion into Second Amendment Rights, now you guess which deaths that our legislature voted to pretend to do something about.
That's right, it was the demonstratively responsible law-abiding citizens that they were after; because you don't think for one minute that the criminal is going to turn in or register their ill-gotten weapons, or reduce the size of their clips and magazines, do you? But, it goes one step further. With the same mindset that the state feels that they should further control responsible citizens who own legal firearm, the state is looking at making late-term abortions more readily available on the premise of the necessity to protect a woman's health — not her life, but her health. Will the state allow the woman to deem that her unwanted, not necessarily unintended, pregnancy would affect her mental health? All of this is a part of the governor's Reproductive Health Act, a 10-point plan that he says that he believes would advance women's equality. Let's see: the federal constitution gives specific rights for the people to bear arms, but mentions nothing of a woman's right to terminate the child that is growing inside of her. But, it is the clearly stated constitutional right that our government is out to curtail, and the non-specified right that they are looking to expand upon.
Does that make sense to you?
With violence, outside of the abortion clinics, actually dropping, we are extending the term in which women can abort their babies, and we are calling it an equal rights provision?
What provision have we made for the father of that fetus who may have either wanted that child, or not wanted that child? The woman, with her equal rights, could determine that though the father wants the baby, and could even pledge to take total responsibility and provide lifelong care for the child, that she will abort it anyway, because she simply wants to do so. But, if the father does not want the child, she could also choose not to abort, even if he makes provision for the procedure, and then encumber him with her decision with the care of that child until it is in college — all under the auspices of "her" equal rights? Does that sound 'equal' to you; or does it sound like the woman has superior rights because it is her body, her baby?
If it will be, at some point, both of their babies, should not the father has something to say along the way, other than, "Yes, dear?" But, now here's the caveat. Is it really whose baby?
According to various sources, a Kansas man is being pursued by the state to pay child support for a 3-year old little girl who was born as the result of a sperm donation to a lesbian couple; who then subsequently broke up and applied for state aid in raising the child.
The state contends that the man did not go through a licensed physician to make the donation, even though he apparently had no personal relationship with either of the two women. He had signed a contract with the woman stating that he was to have no responsibility for any child born because of his donation.
Do you know how many babies a single donation can create; and none of those children being his until after the woman — even a lesbian with whom he had not personal relationship — decides it to be so?
However, in the man's case, it was the state that decided it was his.
Since the Sandy Hook massacre of 20 innocent children, there has been an extrapolation of 13,233 abortions of innocent children in New York, and 88 in Niagara County. Answer me this: How will reducing the size of a magazine or clip from 10-rounds to seven rounds reduce any of this, and why are we really doing so?Contact Ken Hamilton at email@example.com.

Last night they were everywhere. On the couch, the chairs, the sofa bed, in the upstairs bedrooms, even in the basement.
But this was no heinous infestation. It was was 20 California college students (my daughter included) who had traveled east to spend the first week of their winter break cleaning out houses in Atlantic City which were severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy. When they arrived late in the night exhausted from their labors, piling suitcases and shoes wherever, they pretty quickly found their spots, curled up in sleeping bags and went to sleep.
They had spend the past few days pulling up ruined flooring and rotted wallboard, stacking mountains of rubbish at curbs and going back for more, while grateful homeowners and supervising AmeriCorp people directed the action.
This morning, when I came downstairs, most of them were just rising, sweetly sleepy and tousled. A bagel run was made and a large pot of coffee brewed. My two dogs were in heaven for all the attention and petting they got! I listened to their stories -- from their week in New Jersey to stories about their families, their pets and their passions.
None of them had ever been to New York and they were excited to spend their last day -- today -- sightseeing in Manhattan, guided by their savvy native guide (my daughter).
And then, just as quickly as they had come, they were gone. Off to trek the Big Apple. Off to home and hearth and holiday. Off to save the world.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — North Tonawanda Mayor Rob Ortt will deliver his annual State of the City address Jan. 30 at the Remington Tavern, 184 Sweeney St.
Ortt said the address will focus on the progress made with regard to the city's financial outlook, as well as on "several economic development and capital projects throughout the city."
He is also expected to talk about plans for a new recycling program and new legislation aimed at improving some of the city's housing stock, with an emphasis on curbing what officials termed "nuisance properties."
"I believe we've turned a corner in the last couple of years in how government and services" are provided he said, adding "tough decisions" have yielded benefits for taxpayers through renegotiated union contracts.
Proposed changes to increase recycling citywide through larger totes is one way Ortt said the city can help the environment and add to revenues it receives through recyclables.
Priorities to be discussed in the speech also include work at long last expected begin to extend Meadow Drive, work on the Durkee Bridge and plans for a restaurant in the long-defunct city marina clubhouse.

The Cleveland Cavaliers became of part of the NBA in 1970 as an expansion team.
Over the years, the Cavs have had their highs and lows. Their highs included three
Central Division Championships in 1976, 2009 and 2010. During these years,
Cleveland Cavaliers tickets were highly sought after.
The first division title was made with the help of Nate Thurmond. The coach, Bill
Fitch, received the Coach of the Year Award that year. However, following that year,
there were several years of hardships for the team. By the year 1986, the Cavs had
players like Brad Daugherty, who was a five-time NBA All Star, Mark Price, Ron
Harper and Larry Nance. With a coach named Lenny Wilkens, any Cleveland
Cavaliers tickets purchased allowed you to witness 8 playoff seasons in 9 years.
After that playoff streak came to an end, another period of lows for the Cavaliers fell
upon the team. Excitement returned with the purchase of Cleveland Cavaliers
tickets when the Cavs drafted a player named LeBron James.
LeBron truly brought high-flying skills to the Cavaliers' games. However, one thing
Lebron never brought to Cleveland was an NBA championship. Although they made
it to the NBA Finals in 2007, the exciting season ended in a thump when the Cavs
were swept in the finals. The Cavs had another brief and futile play-off appearance
the following year. So close but yet so far—- left the fans itching for a championship.
However the big question was will Lebron even return to the team?
Through the years the Cleveland Cavaliers tickets granted you access into the
Cleveland Arena (1970-1974), Coliseum at Richfield (1974-1994) and currently the
Quicken Loans Arena, which was formerly called Gund Arena (1994-present).
Cleveland Cavaliers tickets are now allows you to see Moon-dog, their current team
mascot. Moon-dog is infamous for his behind-the-back shot from half-court. This
stunning shot awarded him a trip to the NBA All-Star game in 2004. The Cavs also
have a second mascot, Sir CC. Sir CC is a Three Musketeer-like character. He made
his debut in 2010. Sir CC and Moon-dog now team up and provide the game time
entertainment for all Cleveland Cavaliers tickets holders.
All hope for a championship run was lost when Lebron James announced he would
be joining the Miami Heat team as opposed to staying with the Cavaliers. Needless
to say, the fans were furious. The Cavs fans are true and value their Cleveland
Cavaliers tickets. However, the quick departure of Lebron James has left a sour taste
in their mouths. It is what it is, they say. They are now trudging forward with new
coach, Byron Scott. Kyrie Irving, 2011, Rookie of the Year has also raised the hopes
of the fans. They have great expectations that the Cleveland Cavaliers tickets value
will rise again and the Cavs will return to be a playoff contention team. They hope
that the rise will eventually culminate into a NBA finals championship. Hopefully
Cleveland Cavaliers tickets will sour again. There is a lot of work to be done.
Cleveland Cavaliers 2014 Draft Overview
Round 1, Pick 1, Andrew Wiggins, SG/SF, Kansas
Round 2, Pick 33, Joe Harris, SG, Virginia
4-7-14: With a 2-1 week, the Cavaliers have now won five of their last six games, but it looks like they will not be able to sneak into the playoffs. However, Kyrie Irving, who was out since suffering a biceps injury on March 16, might give them a chance. He practiced on Tuesday and played the following night after missing eight games. In his return, Irving put up 17 points, eight assists and six rebounds in the blowout victory over the Magic in Orlando. Dion Waiters also helped Cleveland as he put up game-highs in points in each of the Cavaliers' victories this past week.
4-1-14: The Cavaliers are hanging around as we approach the end of March. They won three of their four contests this past week, and most importantly, they went 3-0 against Eastern Conference opponents. After losing to the Houston Rockets on Saturday in Cleveland, the Cavaliers went to Madison Square Garden in hopes of ending their four-game losing streak. Jarrett Jack put up 31 points and a game-high 10 assists as the Cavaliers made a huge comeback to beat the New York Knicks, 106-100. Cleveland then beat the Toronto Raptors by two points on Tuesday and defeated the Detroit Pistons by one point on Wednesday.
3-24-14: As the projected Eastern Conference playoff teams continue to play well, the Cavaliers are looking less and less likely that they will make the postseason. They dropped three of their four contests this past week, and Kyrie Irving could be out for the rest of the season. On Friday, Spencer Hawes scored 22 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to help the Cavaliers to a 103-94 victory over the Golden State Warriors. Unfortunately, Cleveland has struggled since then. On Sunday, Irving suffered a left biceps injury, and the Cavaliers lost by 22 points to the Los Angeles Clippers. Then, Cleveland dropped games to the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder.
3-17-14: The Cavaliers are fighting for their playoff lives as we get closer to the end of the season, but they unfortunately lost to two of the teams that are nearby in the standings. On Friday, Cleveland fell by nine points to the Charlotte Bobcats. Then on Saturday, Kyrie Irving put up game-highs in points and assists, but the Cavaliers lost to the New York Knicks by double digits. However, the night was not all bad. The organization retired Zydrunas Ilgauskas' No. 11 at halftime that evening. Then, the Anthony Bennett-less Cavaliers got some rest before their three-game road trip. They started it off very well, as they beat the Phoenix Suns, 110-101.
3-10-14: Friday was a fantastic night for the Cavaliers. They hosted the Utah Jazz and put on a show. Kyrie Irving registered his first career triple-double as he put up 21 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds in the Cavaliers' 99-79 win. However, the success was short-lived. The Cavaliers brought their two-game winning streak into Memphis the following night and lost by 14 points. Then, on Tuesday, former Cavalier Danny Green scored 24 points to help the San Antonio Spurs beat Cleveland. Dion Waiters returned from a seven-game absence to score 24 points that night.
3-3-14: The Cavs will continue their popular bobblehead giveaways this season with a Kyrie Irving bobblehead night at Tuesday's game vs San Antonio. While the basketball allure of the late 00's battles between Duncan and LeBron may be gone, the Cavs counter with some of the cheapest tickets in the NBA. It'll currently cost you $11 for a ticket to the game and your bobblehead.
3-2-14: At the beginning of the season, the Cavaliers did not expect to have such a difficult schedule at this time of the year. However, the Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards have become two of the Eastern Conference's best teams with the exception of the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers. The Cavaliers kept it close in each of those three games, but they lost to the Raptors twice and to the Wizards once. However, Cleveland bounced back to stop a three-game losing streak with a double-digit win over the leading team in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kyrie Irving led the way with 31 points as the Cavaliers snagged the important victory.
2-24-14: It was an eventful All-Star weekend for the Cavaliers, as they had participants on each night. Even though Dion Waiters was a part of the random draw during the Rising Stars Challenge draft, he was stellar in the exhibition contest. He scored a team-high 31 points on 10-of-14 shooting and dished off seven assists as well. After taking part in the 3-Point Shootout, Kyrie Irving stepped up his play for the All-Star game. He scored 31 points and dished off 14 assists en route to winning the MVP award. Although Waiters went down with a knee injury on Tuesday, the Cavaliers kept up the great week by pushing their winning streak to six games with wins over the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic. Cleveland also acquired Spencer Hawes from the 76ers this past week.
2-18-14: It only took a firing of the team's general manager to get the Cavaliers into gear. By winning each of their four games this past week, they now own their longest winning streak since 2010. Mike Brown's squad outshot its opponent in all four of those victories to push the franchise's record to 15-6 this season when having a better field-goal percentage. Although Luol Deng missed Friday's game because he was under the weather, Kyrie Irving played through an illness of his own to put up 23 points and a game-high 12 assists in the two-point win at Washington. Although Deng only scored nine points in his return to the lineup on Sunday, Irving's game-high 28 points led the Cavaliers over the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime. Then, Anthony Bennett's career-highs in points and rebounds in addition to Deng's game-high 22 points equaled a double-digit win against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. On the next night, Tristan Thompson's game-high 25 points in Detroit got the Cavs another win.
2-10-14: Unfortunately for the Cavaliers, their losing streak continued this past week. They played three opponents from the Western Conference and lost each of the games by double digits. Cleveland's three-game, five-day road trip did not go well at all. They lost those games by more than 20 points per contest. They finished the trip on Monday at Dallas and even had Anderson Varejao in the lineup after a three-game absence. However, with the 17-point loss to the Mavericks that evening, the Cavaliers dropped their 32nd game of the season, which meant that they had twice as many losses as victories in 2013-14. Then on Wednesday, the franchise's week got even worse. Kyrie Irving was benched for the entire fourth quarter as the extremely depleted Lakers' roster beat the Cavaliers, and consequently, they fired general manager Chris Grant.
2-4-14: Although the Cleveland basketball franchise is trying to make the playoffs, wins have been rare for the 2013-14 Cavaliers. They finished their five-game homestand with a 1-4 record and then began a difficult three-game road trip. Their only recent victory was at home against the league-worst Milwaukee Bucks. Kyrie Irving's 10 points and game-high 10 assists led the way as the Cavaliers won by 15 points. Then, the team's current losing streak began. After Cleveland fell to the Phoenix Suns, the news got even worse. Anderson Varejao was diagnosed with a knee contusion and missed the team's next two games. Anthony Bennett scored a career-high 15 points on Tuesday, but the Cavaliers lost to the New Orleans Pelicans. Mike Brown then took his team to New York, and Cleveland lost by 31 points.
1-27-14: The Cavaliers continue to falter in their attempt to move into playoff position. Although they defeated the Nuggets in Denver on Friday to move to 10 games below .500, they then dropped home games to the Dallas Mavericks and Chicago Bulls. The Cavaliers' comeback in their matinee game on Monday fell just short against the Mavericks, and they then lost in Luol Deng's first career game against the Bulls. While the Cavaliers fell in their final two games of the week, Anderson Varejao is finally staying healthy as he continues to put up impressive numbers. He averaged 12 points and 16 rebounds in the three games this past week.
1-20-14: The Cavaliers sacrificed some of their future to try to make the playoffs this season, and thus far, they are on the outside looking in at the top eight in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland traded Andrew Bynum and three draft picks to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Luol Deng, who will be an unrestricted free agent after the 2013-14 season. Deng has scored double-digit points in each of his four games with the Cavaliers, and the team already has four wins in the month of January after having just five in all of December. In addition, it was great for Mike Brown to get revenge on the Los Angeles Lakers, as his squad won, 120-118, in his return to the Staples Center.
1-7-14: The Cavaliers' frustrating season is going from bad to worse. The organization announced Andrew Bynum is indefinitely suspended for conduct detrimental to the team. Then, Cleveland lost to the Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors and Indiana Pacers to push the team's losing streak to a season-long six games. In addition, Kyrie Irving now has a left knee contusion and will be out for at least a few more days. However, the Cavaliers oddly stopped their losing streak in the first game Irving missed this season. Anderson Varejao scored 18 points, which tied his season-high, and he grabbed a season-best 25 boards in Cleveland's home win over the Magic.
12-30-13: Dion Waiters' wrist tendinitis held him out of Friday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks, but Kyrie Irving stepped up with a game-high 39 points to get the Cavaliers their 10th win of the season. However, Waiters remained sidelined for the next two games, and Cleveland lost to both the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons. It marked the first time in 20 months that the Cavaliers dropped consecutive games by more than 15 points each. The Cavaliers fought hard on Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks, but Irving's 40 points and Waiters' return were not enough for them to win. Jeff Teague's buzzer-beater led to Cleveland's first overtime loss in over a year.
12-22-13: With their 109-100 victory at Orlando on Friday, the Cavaliers won three consecutive games for the first time this season. In fact, the last time they had a longer winning streak was during the 2009-10 season. However, Cleveland's schedule then took a turn for the worst. Kyrie Irving and his teammates had to face the Miami Heat on the second night of a back-to-back and then traveled home to take on the Portland Trail Blazers two days later. The Cavaliers dropped both games, but only lost by a combined 10 points. The team will have to keep fighting hard as Dion Waiters is dealing with wrist tendinitis.
12-13-13: After a rough start to the season, it has been going pretty well for the projected playoff basketball team in Cleveland. After defeating the Clippers and Knicks, the Cavaliers have won four of their last five games for the first time this season. Although their loss on Friday to the Hawks in Atlanta was by 19 points, the Cavaliers already have three wins in December after having only four in all of November. In addition, after Kyrie Irving was held scoreless in the Hawks game, he bounced back to score a combined 57 points in the last two games.
12-6-13: Although the Cavaliers lost their fifth game in a row on Friday at Boston, they bounced back with two important victories at home. Cleveland had yet another strong showing on the second night of a back-to-back, as they defeated the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Then on Wednesday, the rested Cavaliers won by double digits to snap the Denver Nuggets' seven-game winning streak. In addition, this is the first time this season that Cleveland has won two straight games. For a team that was reportedly shopping Dion Waiters a week ago, the Cavaliers might finally be settling into the 2013-14 season.
11-28-13: The disgruntled Cavalier locker room can't seem to right the ship, as they have now lost four games in a row and seven of their last eight. Cleveland, now 4-11 on the season, is also facing issues with former number four pick Dion Waiters who is firmly on the proverbial trading block. Cleveland's issues at the SF position have spurred rumors of Waiters going to Chicago for Luol Deng, New York for Iman Shumpert and to Philadelphia for Evan Turner.
11-22-13: After a players only meeting and a media-created "Where in the world is Dion Waiters" story, things aren't quite going on the uptick that Cavs fans expected. Sitting at 4-8 on the season and losing four of their last five games, rumblings are already being created in Cleveland that a move needs to be made. Is Kyrie a leader? Is Bynum alive? Will Anthony Bennett ever make a shot? After Wednesday night's loss to the Wizards, Mike Brown publicly called his team out saying that the only player that competed on the night was Matthew Dellavedova – an undrafted rookie, on a team filled with top lottery picks. Did we mention that Anthony Bennett is shooting 5-37 on the season? Yeah.
11-15-13: After a solid 3-2 start, the Cavs have dipped in their play in week three, dropping to just 3-6 with two straight losses leading into Friday night. After an intense win over the Philadelphia 76ers in a game that yielded 252 combined points, Cleveland got shut down on offense by the Bulls and simply couldn't keep up with the Timberwolves. In addition, Cleveland endured a minor injury scare involving star point guard Kyrie Irving. Irving would end up being OK, however, and with center Andre Bynum slowly working his way into shape, the Cavs are looking ahead with optimism.
11-8-13: Despite getting almost nothing out of their two new prized bigs, free agent acquisition Andrew Bynum and #1 overall draft pick Anthony Bennett, the Cavs are still 2-3 and playing competitive basketball. With wins over the Nets and Timberwolves on their resume through their first five games, it looks like the Cavaliers have some real upside with star point guard Kyrie Irving leading the way. And if Bynum and Bennett ever feel like living up to the hype, the Cavs might even start thinking seriously about the playoffs.
11-1-13: After missing the playoffs each of the last three seasons, the Cavaliers have a new coach and new confidence. Mike Brown is ready to instill a winning attitude in Cleveland. Health will determine the Cavaliers' chances, as they will be depending on Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters, Anderson Varejao and Andrew Bynum. Near the end of the preseason, Cleveland also made some roster moves. They waived four players to trim the roster for the regular season. In addition, the Cavaliers are shaping their core of players after exercising the fourth-year contract options on Irving and Tristan Thompson as well as the third-year options on Waiters and Tyler Zeller.
10-18-13: Kyrie Irving is one of the up and coming players in the NBA and has a very bright future ahead of him as long as the injury bug doesn't bite him. The Cavaliers have played very good basketball this preseason which has led them to a 3-1 record, in their last game Irving was able to score 12 of his 15 points in the third quarter before being pulled. The Cavs have four games remaining in the preseason:
8-23-13: While the pain of losing LeBron James may never subside, Cavs fans once again have a team to be proud of. With Kyrie Irving blossoming into a superstar and Dion Waiters, Tristan Thompson and first overall pick Anthony Bennett ready to support, Cleveland is likely bound for a return trip to the playoffs this year. The ultimate free agency steal was signing Andrew Bynum to two-year, $25M contract with just $6M guaranteed. If Bynum returns to the player he was last season, Cleveland could make a serious leap into contention in a suddenly top-heavy Eastern Conference.
LeBron and the Miami Heat will make their boo-filled return to Cleveland on Wednesday, November 27th and again on Tuesday, March 18th. Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls visit Cleveland on a Saturday night on November 30th before making their final trip into Cavs territory on Wednesday, January 22nd. Dwight Howard and the Houston Rockets will show up ready to battle with Bynum on Saturday March 22nd.
Key Home Games:
8-22-13: The Cavs have signed top draft pick Anthony Bennett to his guaranteed rookie deal. It's not known exactly what he'll make, but the deal can be worth up to $22.8 million over four seasons.
7-10-13: The Cavaliers and Andrew Bynum have agreed on a two-year deal. The deal includes $6 million of $12 million guaranteed in year one and a team option for the 2014-15 season for $12.5M.
7-1-13: In what was a huge surprise for the first overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft The Cleveland Cavaliers selected power forward Anthony Bennett From UNLV. Coming off recent shoulder surgery Many analysts were not sure How this would affect his draft status. Apparently the Cavs were not worried. Bennett is an explosive forward with a wingspan of 7-1. This is the second year in a row the Cleveland Cavaliers have selected the first overall pick in the NBA draft And according to their owner Dan Gilbert he hopes this is the last year they're in the lottery. Anthony Bennett should make a good pair with the backcourt of Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters. Last year the Cavaliers one only 24 Games. Tickets at Cavaliers games average $69 last year And with the rebuilding process continuing with the addition of Anthony Bennett It would be no surprises to see an increase in average ticket prices for Cavs home games.
6-28-13: Cavaliers 2013 Draft Summary
6-12-13: Kyrie Irving had a sensational year. Averaging over 22 points per game, the all-star point guard is rising toward the top of the league in terms of point guards. To put it simply, the man needs some help. Fortunately for Kyrie and co. help might just be on the way. The Cavs will select number one overall and again in the 19th slot. This year's draft is not overly loaded with talent but with two picks within the top 20 they should find quality players ready to contribute. Already on the roster is shooting guard Dion Waiters, who if healthy, can be a consistent number two option for the Cavs offense.
2-27-13: Behind all-star guard Kyrie Irving the Cavs have had some signature wins despite a rough season in the last place. Although Cleveland has struggled since LeBron James left, the future is bright as long as they have Kyrie in it. At 20-38 the Cavs will next face the LA Clippers in Cleveland followed by the Knicks at home as well. Kyrie has averaged great numbers night in and night out, putting up over 23 points and 5 assists per game. Cleveland should be expected to continue to add talented youth to their roster using this year's draft to help them. Headed for the lottery once again should enable them to get a high pick and flip it into a talented young player who can join their productive youth movement.
11-26-12: The cavs are yet another young team who will be missing their best player for a good amount of time. Kyrie Irving, the team's all-star point guard is out with a broken finger. It would be safe to assume this team is headed toward the lottery once again as they continue to rebuild.

I can't wait for Finlandia! The two programs sound very promising.
I doubt that Marina shoves in music .. I hate the polka .. wish it could be abolished. Of course I miss the OD.
The polka parts in Paul/Islam's and Bobr/Soloviev's SD are not bad... if arranged with some elegance and brightness, it can be an enjoyable dance, much better than the Rhumba! but it's probably a matter of taste.
Could someone find Notre Dam, wich Ziueva did for Xintong HUANG / Xun ZHENG?
Is this it? It says on Ice Network that their 2009 season Notre Dame for their music, but it sounds like Romeo and Juliet
You could probably just say that they used it. Instead of running in here. Since everyone can read both threads anyways.
sorry, but with that signature you can't certainly blame others for "bashing" your favorites, Theatergirl *shrugs*
Low technikal mark. Maybe missed levels at pattern?
