I love the way you made each instrument come in one by one in such a smooth way!!! Awesomely Done Divo!!
Thanks Damen, much appreciated :D
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I like the chimes, percussion and the glittery transitions. They really give off a magical christmas vibe :p. The song also finishes really well. Sounds very professional i must say.
The transition around the 1:13 mark isn't done very well. And its very random as well. Its a nice change in the song but the transition is pretty poor.
Also, some parts sound a bit off tune, but that could just be me.
Really cool how you list all of the sounds and how you made the song in the description. I'm sure some people would be really appreciative of that.
An all- around good song though.
Thanks for the comment Corbetto!
I tried several times to add something that would smooth the transition but always failed big time : / ...if i have time i might still try again but cant really figure out how to do it..
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Nice one Divo
In the beginning when the dog was barking i thought someone was gonna say "look it's Santa Claus!"
I like that transition from low pace to high(er) pace, real unorthadox in a good way.
Your definitely gonna give em' a run for their money!
I see you putting in work all over the place. Keep up that hustle buddy!
Hey thanks for the comment Gzus!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
The change at 1:15 to 1:16 was unexpectable, but the transition could be MUCH better. The beats are happy aswell as christmas is! Quite a good song, lots of variation.
And I do like the piano in the end.
Keep it up. Cheers!
Yeah transitions continue to set me back quite a bit : / ...
Thanks for the comment Atom!

14 Foods Your Diet Needs In 2014

The new superfoods
Chia seeds? In our rearview mirror. Kale? So 2013! Make way for these new superfoods of the new year.
Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RD, LD, is Wellness Manager at the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute.Sesame seeds
These overlooked little seeds should be making a comeback in your pantry this year due to their high levels of calcium and zinc (almost 20% of your daily dose of each). One small study found that sesame seed consumption helped with improving lipid and glucose profiles in pre-diabetic patients, and a 2010 study reported similar findings in an animal model.Beluga lentils
Expect to see plenty of lentil dishes on the menu this year. What's so great about them? How about everything? Several studies have pointed out the benefits of legume consumption on prevention and management of chronic disease, but it's beluga lentils rich black color that give it an edge on other lentils. Any time we have a very rich color in a fruit, vegetable, or even a bean, the more color, the more benefit to your health. Black anthocyanins in these little beads have been found in other foods to be tops in fighting inflammation, cancer and heart disease.Avocado oil
Avocado oil is often hailed for its high content of healthy monounsaturated fats, yet many of us shy away from it because we're not sure how to cook with it. While chefs across the nation will be using it in your pricey restaurant entrées, you can use it at home in dressings, dips, and marinades. Added benefit: consuming more of it may help to increase your healthy HDL cholesterol levels.Black soybeans
Expect this bean to become more mainstream in 2014 as a potential weight loss food: A 2007 study found black soybeans to have an "anti-obesity" effect in rats.Coffee
For whatever reason, there's this perception that coffee is bad for us. But coffee is actually the greatest source of antioxidants worldwide. A few of its impressive acts: coffee helps prevent diabetes and certain cancers, strengthens DNA, is great for skin, and lowers early risk of death.Beet juice
This year will see a continued emergence of health drinks galore. In your quest to find the one that works for you, give beet juice a try. It's been found in several studies to promote brain health, lower blood pressure, and even enhance athletic performance.Shichimi Togarashi
This Japanese spice will be hot in 2014—literally! Shichimi Togarashi is a blend of seven different spices and often includes chili powder, orange or tangerine peel, black and white sesame seeds and seaweed. What does it not have? Salt!
Not only will this up-and-comer be a new spice in the ethnic cuisine trend, it can serve as an option for great taste (on fish, chicken, noodles, etc.) without the salt. Further, with its antioxidant rich ingredients, this mix may play a role in lowering your risk for high blood pressure and heart disease.Ricotta
Cheese has always been a popular staple in the American diet, but the spreadable cheeses often get overlooked as options in recipes. Enter ricotta, the gritty white cheese that may in fact be "whey" better than some other options. Why? Because it's packed with protein, something that studies tell us is very important in keeping muscle up while losing weight. Further, protein specifically from dairy was found to be protective of bone health in women trying to shed pounds.Salsify
This root vegetable may not be a staple on your plate just yet, but you can expect to see it popping up at restaurants in the coming year. Salsify also goes by the name "oyster plant" and resembles a parsnip. The low-calorie, high-fiber profile of root vegetables can help keep weight and belly fat down.Apples
Blueberries probably get all the credit for being high in antioxidants and saving your life, but apples have as many—if not more!—studies looking at their benefits. A 2011 study and a 2012 study showed that apple consumption helped to lower bad LDL cholesterol. Another 2011 study found a link between apple consumption and reduced risk of ulcerative colitis. Yet another found that apple consumption may help to ward off breast cancer, and another found that eating apples could expand your lifespan by 10 percent.
My 2014 challenge to you: Eat 365 apples this year! The very latest apple study shows that an apple a day slashes your risk of death from heart attack and stroke.Za'atar
This Middle Eastern spice blend of sumac seeds, thyme, salt, and sesame seeds made a strong showing in the past year and will continue to grow in popularity. Sprinkle it on flatbread or mix into a marinade for chicken.
Speaking of chicken, za'atar can actually reduce your risk of a foodborne illness: Studies have linked sumac berries and thyme to decreased incidence of foodborne pathogens.Tempeh
Prepare yourself: 2014 will be the year of the gut. While historical evidence has linked harmful gut bacteria to everything from increasing diabetes risk to the formation of autoimmune diseases, healthy gut bacteria are now being hailed as a possible solution in disease prevention. One way to make your gut gorgeous is by consuming fermented foods—like tempeh, or fermented soybeans. Probiotics in fermented foods can help with digestion, and may play a role in fighting off obesity and the effects of chronic stress.Teff
This gluten-free grain is full of calcium, vitamin C, and taste! Best of all, up to 40% of the teff grain is considered a "resistant starch" which is literally starch you can't digest. A 2013 study found that a diet rich in resistant starches may help in the prevention of IBS and formation of colorectal cancer.
Use teff flour in baked goods, pancakes, or waffles, or dredge fish or chicken through it to sauté.Canary seeds
Right now, they're more likely to be fed to a bird than to a human. But once we de-hull canary seeds, they have the ability to be ground into flours and can be put into gluten-free products.
While gluten-free grains like quinoa are making a big comeback, look to the world of seeds to provide a few "grain" options as well. A 2013 study found that a new variety of canary seeds made suitable for human consumption by de-hulling was not only gluten-free, but provided more protein than other gluten-free grains.AdvertisementAdvertisementLet's Stay In Touch

Above average temperatures, high humidity and a whole lot of rain brought a soggy start to winter this past weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, 3.58 inches of rain fell by Sunday night in the Gainesville area.
Weather service meteorologist Alex Gibbs said more was forecasted to fall, which could bring the total to 6 inches.
In some spots, totals could exceed 6 inches, he said.
"Right now, we're getting a long, soaking rain," Gibbs said.
Gibbs said flooding is a "major" concern and a flood watch is in effect through 7 this morning. He said flood warnings could be issued for the rise of creeks, streams and water onto roadways.
The weather service has recorded 74.05 inches of rain so far this year in Gainesville. The normal amount for the year is 53.16 inches, according to agency data.
Lake Lanier now sits at 1,071.68 feet above sea level; winter full pool is 1,070.
"We had all the storms out to the west. The upper level system raced off to the north, and it raced so far north the cold front is just sitting over Georgia," Gibbs explained.
He said no severe weather is expected and rain should stop today. That will likely mean the cold temperatures begin to set in.
"The Arctic high will be building in and giving us cold Christmas temperatures," he said.
Temperatures will be lower, toward their average this time of year, with highs in the 40s both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, he said, and low temperatures will be in the low to mid-20s both nights.

Oscar Nominee: Sweeney Todd for Costumes
In the days leading up until the Oscars, I'll be featuring the nominees in the various visual categories. This week, I'll be looking at the nominees for Best Costume Design. We've already taken a look at the costumes in Across the Universe, Atonement and La Vie en Rose. Today I'm highlighting the costumes in Sweeney Todd.
Veteran costume designer Colleen Atwood has already won a Costume Designers Guild award for her work outfitting the stars of Sweeney Todd, so things are looking good for this Oscar nominee. The drab woolen fabrics of many of the clothes contrast starkly with the dashes of bright color, especially, of course, the garish red blood. The palette of mostly muted grays, mustard yellows and browns helps to paint this grim world, with splotches of brilliant blues appearing with the showy character of competing barber Signor Adolfo Pirelli (Sacha Baron Cohen) and the sweet Johanna (Jayne Wisener) draped in pale, innocent hues. Overall, the costumes do well to transport us back to this dark old London where treacherous things happen in barber shops and beneath pie stores.

In a blue blood meets working class deal, the owner of the boutique and very pricey Gurkha cigar brand is acquiring the inexpensive flavored cigar brand Cojimar.
The deal will bring together the owner of Gurkha, premium Honduran smokes that retail for an average of $12 to $15, with Cojimar, a flavored Dominican cigar brand that sells vanilla, rum and other flavored smokes for an average price of $3.95.
"We wanted to get into the class-C [convenience] stores market. We were never in that field," said Beach Cigar Group owner Kaizad Hansotia. "I thought it would be a good fit."

The Impact Award acknowledges individual employees or teams who provide extra effort beyond their regular duties and responsibilities, promote learning and creativity, shine in their role, and inspire others to do the same.
Michele Deis (far right), Learning Consultant, is the smiling face when coming to a meeting, walking into a room, or joining a project. She brings this energy and kindness all the time. Her commitment to community truly brings people together and makes the college a nicer place to work and to be.

The team consists of June Parham (centre), Myrna Ross (far right), and Annette Brokenshire (missing in photo).
Ewa has been instrumental in introducing technology to the classrooms allowing for new and creative approaches to learning. Ewa's calm professionalism helps LINC employees meet the language and settlement skills of students.
Lisa has used her many learnings and strong educational background for proposal and new course development which has positively impacted partnerships, support from industry, and overall enhancement of community.
The new LES pathways program transforms lives by moving from a deficit-based model to a strengths-based model which helps support the learner's goals using their existing strengths.
The LINC team works with students to increase their language skills, settle into the Edmonton culture, and become integrated into Canadian society. LINC employees are highly respected within the community and nationally recognized as experts in the field.
Marg has an incredible gift of being kind. She consistently supports, encourages, and uplifts both tutors and students, and she painstakingly ensures all communications to partners are clear and concise.

CNET News.com: Microsoft ready to send 64-bit Windows 2000 to developersJul 12, 2000, 21:34 (8 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Stephen Shankland)
"Although the preview release represents a milestone, the company's server strategy is far from seamless. The Datacenter version of Windows 2000, a beefed-up version of 32-bit Windows 2000 for servers, remains noticeably absent. This version, about a month late, was due four months after the Windows 2000 debut."
"Two final versions of 64-bit Windows, one for servers and one for workstations, will be released when computer manufacturers begin selling their systems, said Michael Stephenson, lead product manager for the Windows enterprise server division. ... Today's version is "about 95 percent feature-complete," Stephenson said. It's similar in technological maturity to a beta version, though Microsoft is avoiding the term "beta" to describe the software unfurled today."
"Intel is backing three operating systems for mainstream use on Itanium machines and the successors in the IA-64 family: Windows, Linux and... Monterey-64, spearheaded by IBM and Santa Cruz Operation (SCO), among others."

A punch aimed directly into someones eye with the aim of blinding them or knocking their eye out. Therefore leading them to wear an eyepatch or a glass eye - very piratey.
I gave a lethal Pirate Punch to Robbie, knocking him off the fort yesterday, he landed on a sharp stick which penetrated his entire body so i don't think his blindness of one eye mattered.

Virotec International Ld
9 May 2002
9 May 2002
The company is issuing the following statement to answer recent queries from
Virotec International is one of the first companies in the world to bring
innovative research based on geochemical engineering to alumina refinery waste.
The company's proven, environmentally-safe BauxsolTM Technology took eight years
to develop and since its introduction, Virotec scientists in Australia, Europe
and North America have devoted a further two years optimising the technology and
this work has resulted in numerous scientific breakthroughs. Today, Virotec has
a diverse range of BauxsolTM Technology products and although each product
differs in composition, physical form and application methodology they are all
environmentally safe.
At Virotec, we are often asked 'Can you use untreated 'red mud' to achieve
similar commercial and environmental outcomes to those achieved with BauxsolTM
Technology?' and the answer is categorically 'no'. Virotec physically and
chemically alters the properties of the red mud waste as part of the BauxsolTM
Technology process.
The Directors believe that Virotec, with its specialist proprietary knowledge
and complex database, leads the world in the science of utilising alumina
refinery waste with its BauxsolTM Technology - a safe environmental technology
that is proving to be platform in nature with broad and multiple applications.
(For those interested in the current BauxsolTM Technology product range, please
see the Appendix to this announcement.)
The Directors believe Virotec is a high-growth business. As a developer of new
technologies, and a manufacturer and distributor of new market-driven products,
the company is driven by scientific research and development and has a strong
scientific team of 15 scientists, 7 of whom have PhDs with distinguished
In the past year the company has been working concurrently to:
1. Establish a global infrastructure,
The establishment of Virotec's international infrastructure has not only
facilitated the introduction of BauxsolTM Technology to regulatory authorities
in three continents, but it has allowed Virotec to conduct field demonstrations
in North America and Europe and to commence production in Sardinia of BauxsolTM
Technology products.
2. Diversify the range of products developed from BauxsolTM Technology
The ongoing process of developing new products from BauxsolTM Technology
has been very successful and is a direct response to market need. The company is
currently targeting potential strategic alliance partners across a range of
industry sectors to assist Virotec in the marketing of the new products.
3. Develop and commercialise new technologies
The company is in the final phase of development, which includes
patenting, several new technologies. These technologies have been developed by
Virotec scientists over a 12 month period and have been tested in the field in a
commercial application.
4. Generate Sales Revenue
There is a considerable lead time in taking an innovative technology to market;
however the Directors believe that Virotec has made considerable advances in
this area. The company is well funded, has no debt and is well positioned in
four continents to generate revenues from its unique technology.
Executive Chairman of Virotec, Mr Brian Sheeran concludes 'The Directors believe
that Virotec is a high-growth business with technologies that are platform in
nature, that is, have the potential for multiple applications. With no debt and
in excess of $13 million dollars in the bank, the company is ideally placed to
negotiate a wide range of industry-specific, strategic alliances to optimise the
commercialisation of our products. The Directors believe that this will be a
very exciting year for the company.'
Virotec International Ltd develops new technologies and manufactures,
distributes and applies new market-driven environmental products for water and
soils. For further information, please visit our web site at www.virotec.com.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/1/2008 (3502 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
OTTAWA -- Urgent action is needed immediately to cope with the overwhelming number of family breakdowns on First Nations such as the home reserve of Tracia Owen, officials said Thursday.
The extent of family problems was summed up this week with bleak statistics: Of 525 children in Owen's Little Grand Rapids home reserve, 206 are in government care.
"If that was (Winnipeg) and there were that many children in care, people would be lining up in masses saying, 'What is happening here?' " Manitoba Children's Advocate Billie Schibler said. "It speaks very loudly to the fact that there aren't enough resources in these communities."
The desperate situation at Little Grand Rapids was portrayed in an inquest report into the 14-year-old girl's string of Child and Family Services placements, her short life as a drug-addicted sex-trade worker in Winnipeg and, ultimately, her suicide.
Provincial court Judge John Guy slammed the federal government for failing to properly fund child welfare services on reserves and even ensure basic needs like housing and food supplies there are up to par.
"These areas fall within the mandate of the federal government and all evidence indicates they are falling short in their financial support to rescue these communities," Guy wrote in his inquest report.
That failure leaves children to bear the brunt of poverty, abuse, neglect, addiction and violence, Guy wrote.
In Little Grand Rapids, where Tracia Owen was born, it costs well over $1 million to operate a child welfare system, including paying for social workers to help protect kids. But Ottawa, which is responsible for funding child welfare on reserves, gave Little Grand Rapids only $424,000.
The lack of funding, Guy said, means the support services available to help kids and families in cities are unlikely to ever be extended to remote reserves like Little Grand.
The shortfall is mainly because funding for child welfare services on reserves is based on the total child population on each reserve, not on the number of children and families receiving services from child welfare.
Elsie Flette, CEO of Manitoba's Southern First Nations Child and Family Services Authority, said it means small communities like Little Grand Rapids lose out because they don't have a lot of kids in total, but they have far more problems and far more children and families needing help than they get funded for.
The only time federal funding is done per child in need is when a child is apprehended from their family and placed in foster care, so that happens all the time.
Manitoba Family Services Minister Gord Mackintosh said he's sending the Guy report to the federal government with the hope it will make an impact in Ottawa.
"This report doesn't just speak to the federal government, it screams at it," Mackintosh said.
There is more than a 20 per cent gap in the funding provided by the two levels of government for the same services, leaving kids on reserves shortchanged.
A request for a response from Indian and Northern Affairs Canada went unanswered.
Flette said there have been meetings with Ottawa in hopes of establishing new funding models for child welfare, but so far nothing has happened. Adding to her frustration are documents she obtained through Access to Information legislation that show Ottawa has known about the impact of its inadequate funding since at least 2001.
"Six or seven years ago, federal officials identified the fact their funding was contributing to more kids coming into care, but they've not moved to address it," Flette said.
Manitoba NDP MP Judy Wasylycia-Leis said there is a need for "a complete review and revamping of the way the feds fund First Nations."
"This report is a cry for urgent federal action," Wasylycia-Leis said.

Welcome to this, my first newsletter as RM. It has been six weeks since the release of 3.10.0. In those six weeks, a lot has happened: 245 patches by 36 developers have been committed.
Major developments
* Bug 7067 – patron self-registration
This feature makes it possible for patrons to edit their own contact information, as well as register for new accounts.
* Bug 8377 – support for embedding HTML5 media in a tab in the details value
This feature allows the playing of media formats supported by HTML5 directly in the web browser.
* Bug 7919 – associate authorized values and patron attributes with specific branches
This feature allows different libraries in the same system to use different authorized values and extended patron attributes.
* Bug 8559 – resolve conflicting item statuses when checking out items that are on hold
Prior to this patch, if a librarian checked out a waiting hold to a different patron it gave the item conflicting statuses. The item showed as both checked out to the different patron, and waiting for the original patron. This has been fixed.
* Numerous Plack and DEBUG-related fixes
Many minor — and not so minor — problems with the DEBUG setting and Plack have been resolved.
These past six weeks have also seen some changes in release policy. In particular:
Coding guidelines
The coding guidelines have been updated with more details and additional rules (see, for example, PERL14-PERL17). See http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines
Commit messages
Good commit messages are crucial for the Quality Assurance process. In light of this, we have new detailed (and mandatory) guidelines for commit messages which should help developers write more useful commit messages. Highlights include a requirement for:
1) an explicit description of what the patch is supposed to do, and
2) a test plan
See http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commit_messages
Patch reversion
One of the tools in the Release Manager's toolkit is "git revert" which allows me to easily remove patches that are causing problems from master. After a lot of consideration, I have come to the conclusion that by reverting problematic patches quickly I can ensure that master remains as stable as possible while still taking advantage of the combined testing might of the entire developer community. For the rest of this release cycle I intend to swiftly revert any patches that cause blocker-level bugs and request follow-ups/revisions from the original developer.
I did this, for example, with bug 7167, a new non-linear database update mechanism. I believe that bug 7167 represents an important and useful advance for Koha. However, when I pushed it, jenkins quickly alerted us that it was impossible to install Koha on a clean system. Rather than leave master in an unusable state, I reverted the patch, and there have been several follow-ups addressing some of the problems we identified. Once they have been tested, signed off, and QAed, I will push the entire patchset again, hopefully without any unwanted side effects.
RM's role in QA
In contrast to the practice during some of our previous release cycles, I have made the decision to NOT QA patches that have been signed off and are awaiting QA (for the most part; I will address the exceptions to this below). I have made this decision for two reasons:
1) Any patch I QA has one fewer sets of eyes on it between composition and pushing.
2) The QA team was elected by the community in order to QA patches. I feel it is not my place to gainsay the community's decision to elect a QA team, at least when I can avoid it.
There is, however, an exception to this: for patches where no member of the QA team can test the patch, I will — regretfully — QA the patch.
What comes next
There are still 111 patches awaiting signoff and 66 patches that have been signed off and are awaiting QA. Please take a few minutes to sign off on a patch or two, or, if you are on the QA team, QA a patch or two.
Over the next month I look forward to pushing a lot more patches, and seeing a lot more advancement in Koha as we move toward 3.12. In January I intend to release a first "preview" of 3.12 so that non-developers interested in taking a peek at 3.12 can do so.

Knott grills for Marine general
By Sandy Bond
Erik Knott of rural Mound City, advertising sales representative for The Mobridge Tribune and Bridge City Publishing, said that his passion for cooking led him to an incredible job while serving his country: "cooking and bartending for Lt. General Jack Burgman in New Orleans my last two years in the Marines," he said.
He threw about 20 parties a year, Erik said, and he got to work with his enlisted aide, who was his chef. One of the chefs in New Orleans that would show up from time to time had been a chef for President Reagan and then at the FBI Academy.
"Mardi Gras was the best party," he continued. "We would have around 400 guests at the General's house. Some were senators, members of Congress, other generals in the Marine Corps, admirals in the Navy, and even movie stars."
He was able to meet movie and television actress Patricia Clarkson ("Pieces of April," etc.) at one of the Mardi Gras parties and even took a picture with her, he said. "She truly is a genuinely amazing person," he said.
While in New Orleans, he learned to cook many of the Cajun cuisines while doing all the prep work cooking for wedding receptions at the Magnolia Plantation House, a wedding reception hall that can hold up to 700 guests
"I would have about 15 girls, who were the servers, running back and forth for the trays of food that I would arrange," he said. "I thought it was pretty cool that they always would answer me with 'yes, chef' or 'no, chef' even though I wasn't a true chef."
The son of the late Jerry Knott and Tomi Kae Travis and stepdad John, Erik and his sisters Jacque (Olson), and Jennifer (Travis), and brothers Todd and Ryan Knott grew up in Mobridge. Erik graduated from Selby High School in 1986. Son Zachary Aaron Knott, 21, lives in Sioux Falls.
"My wife Shelly (Lewellen) is the true chef in the family and we enjoy cooking together," he said. "She is also amazing at baking. Her breads are incredible!"
Shelly is currently at Northern State University studying for a career as a certified public accountant. Although he admits his forte is grilling, his mother was his inspiration in the kitchen, he said.
"My mom gardens and supplies us with all kinds of good stuff," he said. "When I get items from mom, I will use them in some recipes."
Because of time constraints and pure convenience, he admits to resorting to either Pampered Chefs' quick meals or Rachael Ray's 15-minute meals cookbook.
He admitted to at least one cooking fiasco: forgetting that he had a pizza in the oven and leaving the house for about four hours.
"The house smelled like burnt pizza for a while," he said.
His hobbies include fishing and hunting and he is a member of the National Rifle Association (NRA).
"I adopted a nine-year old yellow Labrador last October," he said. "He is an amazing hunting dog and traveling companion. His owner passed away and one of my customers knew I loved dogs, so he called me and I told him that I would take him."
Erik's favorite author is anything by Louis L'Amour and he enjoys listening to Enya (for sleeping) and Neil Diamond, because his dad really liked him, he said.

- 6 asparagus spears (medium size)
- ½ cucumber
- ½ cup of purified water
- 1 lemon (juice only)
- Cut asparagus and cucumber into quarter size cubes and blend together with the water.
- Squeeze in lemon and blend until watery consistency is achieved.
this sounds good ~ a lot less $ then milk thistle 🙂 Reflexology is always great too.
this sounds great. but what about when asparagus is not in season? Canned? i would not think canned would be great for a toxic liver cleanse….any ideas?
Did not known it was that easy !
I'm going to definitively try this..I drink about 4 cups of green tea daily..does green tea cleanse the liver?
Good for the liver? Ok nice! But mainly it looks really refreshing to me and thats why I am going to try this one for sure! Thanks Flavia!
OMG, what a great idea. This is your best recipe yet. Thank you so much. I'll be making one as soon as I get home from the grocery store!
Am I the only one that can't stand asparagus??? What else could I use?
Do you drink this in place of a meal or with a meal? Or does it not matter?
I'm definitely going to give the detox a try Flavia. Question: Anxiously waiting to see the pictures from the photo shoot. I am excited to see the continued transformation to your body with the additional muscle. Plus, I'm anxious to hear the success of your 3lb fat loss goal for the photo shoot. Any updates on that?
Hey Flavia, one quick question: I am trying to eat broccoli every day, and I enjoy eating it steamed, but don't like it near as much raw. Is raw that much more nutritious?
Thank you, Flavia, for this tip. I didn't know that. I'll try that every week!
Hello everyone out there in the getting fit world I just got all of my ingredients and can't wait to try this……and it taste….. YUMMY….BUT!!! VERY TARTY!!!
….But I can live with this 🙂 Thanks Flavia
I tried it tonight. A little tart. I added some cilantro, garlic, and salt. It is great. Thanks for the ideas!
A terrific drink. Are there "sulfites" in the the asparagus? Would that explain why there is a change of aroma to my urine? Seems to have affected me that way. is that ok?
Asparagus just gives your urine a smell….it happens everytime to me too…
Hi would this be any good before bedtime or on an empty stomach in the AM?
I really like your site. It is very informative.
Thanks, Flavia! 🙂
How often should we attempt this liver cleanse?
Hi! I love this drink, I have been drinking it a few times a week for the last month! I am wondering if substituting Lime instead of Lemon would have the same detox benefit?
with the vegtable drinks and fruit drinks is it ok to use frozen vegtables and frozen fruit rather than fresh?
Can I drink this first thing in the am instead of coffee?
Would it be ok to alternate the 2 different liver detox recipes everyother day? I've been drinking the beet recipe morning and night and I was thinking to switch it up with this one.
My partner and i uncertainty here is the location due to, yet… I have trouble with our own present copyright laws, u think that the best way our own present system of govt employs lobbying may be the source of this. Our laws do not equally shield all people, these people merely shield the actual interests of your abundant few. Is there certainly not some way to improve the best way the drinks are? What exactly percent with the population might be mistreated ahead of real change might be sent that occurs? Our own laws happen to be contorted and also turned to profit some sort of abundant group. Example: I'm some sort of property surveyor. My children did to execute surveys for those intended for 4 decades. We have generally bid quite competitively at times taking a loss to acquire work opportunities wanting which we tends to make our own income a toronto injury lawyer the actual records to ensure that we'd receive the work for long term surveys as well as having the ability to complete them effortlessly by simply modernizing exactly what details we currently possessed with file. This identical system of lawmaking which is defending the actual RIAA is allowing it market and others which are accumulating copies of the surveys in order to disperse those to individuals accepting affidavits intended for closings employing our own work for their own benefit and also eliminating people through making money for our own perspire labour and also work. What exactly disturbs us the majority of regarding this is always that, 1 day, it will have a lawsuit for a review we does generations in the past, that has been intended for some sort of afterwards final in opposition to our own will and also the courts will side in opposition to people to get a job we don't even receive money intended for. We've written many people within govt getting assistance in some way and then acquire residual theme response or no answer back whatsoever. Romans possessed this much better 2150 yrs ago. Good we are now living in some sort of democracy, yet My partner and i fear it's not a republic. Most of us votes that will put a team of Republicans or maybe Democrats within govt, and then include our own laws written and also cool to profit some sort of abundant group, by means of lobbyists financed by means of and also which represents some sort of abundant few. That exact same govt we selected as intended for applies a low concern about the desires with the the greater part, inside the notion this abundant not many are more wise and/or more worthy compared to the the greater part. I'm frightened our own govt has grown to be more of the Aristocracy.
Wonderful to discover 'someone' is actually finally battling the actual RIAA Malavita. We've watched this kind of bad circumstance obtain power decades back, considering: "surely an individual on the market acknowledges the enormous injustice along with inequality the is actually perpetrating"; Individual mothers; grandmother and grandfather who all avoid actually possess a computer staying vulnerable. Finally I see mild at the end of the actual canal, due to each one of "you"!! Maintain the good perform individuals. You might have many close friends.
furthermore, I am aware that will John Ross of B?RNEL?RDOM studies that there are a "Harry Reid" who have killed a lot of kids a year ago.
Excellent article.. anyone have missed alot of syntax whenever i actually finally first got it runningno far more large record errors: D No worries, thankful the notion and strategy is of usage up to the code. Without a doubt I might refactor the code easily needed the item once again: ) Finest, Vincent rapid Received extra 300 megabytes as a result of anyone, and also the review I worked on the ferry on my macbook had been cloned to the pc in the office could I travelled to the office and the iphone at the same time! Simply great, also it functions undoubtedly better than icloud.
We cannot think a person couldnt mention JANGO. com, that i really like ha, i understand, jango is the best plus they don't know that Why not consider shuffleer simple to operate google chrome ext that provides that you report on styles to choose from plus it trawls through sites and sites to find excellent msuic for you personally take a look Issue with all of these is if a person tune in to whatever really underground most likely screwed. Very last. fm has advised me personally a lot of distinct, under the palpeur performers awesome yet We can in no way locate whatever else about these performers through the sites as listed above. Total web sites are useful for what these kinds of are created for so I aren't party some of them. Great info.
Certainly together with Nabeel they can be holding backside for the next release on these kinds of attributes, if they start a more recent model soon they are going to earn more money.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/11/2012 (1753 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MINNEAPOLIS -- For years, we couldn't get away from them, or at least get them unstuck from our craniums. They were mm-mm-good, the best part of waking up, the real thing, doubling our pleasure, celebrating the moments of our lives and helping us be all we could be.
Then they started vanishing. "Get a piece of the rock" originals were supplanted by canned "Like a Rock" or worse yet, some infernal infant mouthing "zoom zoom."
Now jingles are all but gone, or maybe reincarnated in other guises, prompting many nostalgic types to yearn for a return to the land of sky-blue waters (wa-ah-ters).
"I do hope they come back," said Barry Zelickson, senior vice-president at Golden Valley, Minn.-based Border Foods, a regional franchisee of Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Sonic and more. "I think jingles are great. They work fine in the right element to connect people with the brand."
The first jingle ever was created in Minnesota. It might have saved one of the state's most famous brands.
In the mid-1920s, General Mills was having no luck getting traction for a promising cereal. So the company decided to try something new: a singing commercial called Have You Tried Wheaties?
It first aired in the Twin Cities only on Christmas Eve 1926 and included the lyrics, "They're crispy and crunchy the whole year through, the kiddies never tire of them and neither will you." It worked. Sales soared in the Twin Cities, and General Mills went national with the tune.
The next two decades saw the introduction of such mainstays as Campbell Soup's "Mm-mm-Good" and "Brylcreem, a little dab'll do ya." In the 1950s and '60s, when television joined radio as a popular medium (and advertising outlet), jingles entered their heyday. Automobiles, toothpaste, detergents and all manner of beverages and snacks adopted catchphrases set to music, playing on radio and TV incessantly.
The aim: Create an earworm.
"There needs to be an infectious quality," said Bob Hest, co-owner of Hest + Kramer, a commercial recording house, "but most of all it's played a lot. It's the frequency you hear something that sometimes accounts for its success."
But a catchy tune is not enough, said Hest's partner, Steve Kramer. "The 'hook' is needed, not just in the pop-music context but in latching onto B & H Bubble Gum or whatever the product is."
Added Hest: "You wanted to have something that people either liked or hated, but the key other word is 'remembered.'"
Hest cited one of the few traditional jingles running today, Subway's "Five Dollar Footlong" spot. "It's old-fashioned, but it also is about the product. Is it highly cool? No. Is it highly effective? Yes. Do the hipsters who work behind the counter like it? No. Do we care? No."
In the mid-'80s, the tide started turning toward radio hits, spearheaded by Nike using (some said abusing) the Beatles' Revolution. Soon every boomer-era hit imaginable showed up in an ad. Sting, who had famously refused to allow a deodorant company to use Don't Stand so Close to Me in the 1980s, not only let Jaguar use his song Desert Rose but showed up in the ad.
"A lot more people tried to tie products into already identifiable songs," Zelickson said, "because if you've got something identifiable, you're already halfway there."
Nowadays, said Echo Boys founder Tom Lecher, "a lot of people just say, 'Find me a cool track from the current.' "
Today's spots cover a much broader spectrum, though. Sometimes, a former jingle becomes a non-sung catchphrase (State Farm's "like a good neighbor"). Many advertisers "want something that's more oblique, less direct," Lecher said. "You hardly ever get a request to sing about how good this potato chip is."
One popular option is mnemonics, sound effects that go back several decades to Maxwell House's percolator theme and now are used by Intel, Nokia, McDonald's and others. To many in the industry, these devices and even sonically hopped-up phrases are jingles, as are the ads they craft with old-fashioned messages in modern musical clothing.
"The word 'jingle' has mostly negative, corny connotations," Kramer said, "but when Apple used a Feist song (for an iPod nano ad), that was a jingle. But it was Feist, so nobody thought of it that way."
A lot of Hest + Kramer's current work, and a prevailing trend in the ad world, could be called a Feist-ian bargain.
"We write 30-second pop tunes that are jingle-like in that they talk in poetic terms about the product. It will sound like Lady Gaga or Macy Gray. They're all jingles, and they're all pop tunes."
-- Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

FRUSTRATED Selby Town boss Ian Dring is desperate to kick-start his reign at Flaxley Road.
The former Nottingham Forest and Mansfield Town player was appointed Robins manager on November 26 but his team have played only one game under his leadership.
Saturday's Northern Counties East League division one match against Pontefract Collieries was the latest to fall foul of the weather.
A host of fixtures have fallen by the wayside due to a combination of frozen or waterlogged pitches, plus a vandalised boiler at Flaxley Road.
The club's next scheduled fixture was a January 9 trip to Albion Sports, but the Pontefract game has now been relisted for Saturday, December 29, kick off 3pm.
Dring's side are nine points adrift at the bottom but with three games in hand and the manager said: "It's horrendous.
"We are training all the time but we want to be playing games. It's been stop-start since I came in. I've only had one game with the lads and that's not good.
"We've trained twice in the week and had a friendly run out at Brigg Town, but you need match fitness. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about the weather."
He added: "I have been able to get my ideas across to the players in training and the new lads have settled in.
"There is good banter between the players, but it's not the same as playing matches. It's a bit of a nightmare, but I suppose there are other clubs in the same situation."
That one fixture was a 2-1 defeat away to leaders Athersley Recreation. After a goalless opening hour, Selby took the lead before succumbing to two late goals.
Dring said: "We did well against Athersley and hopefully we can carry that on.
"In the position we are in, the quicker we can get back playing and picking up points the better."
Meanwhile, Knaresborough Town's division one game at Dinnington Town was also postponed on Saturday.
Harrogate Town's trip to Bishop's Stortford in Blue Square Bet North was rained off, as was Harrogate Railway Athletic's game at home to Bamber Bridge in Evo-Stik League division one north.

Game changer: Russia to sell one of the world's most advanced anti-aircraft systems to Syria- Israel warns of consequences
May 28, 2013
ISRAEL – An advanced anti-aircraft system destined for Syria has not left Russia yet, but Israel will know how to act if it does, Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said on Tuesday. Yaalon's remarks appeared to contradict Israel's air force chief, who said last week the shipment of S-300 missiles was "on its way" to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who is battling a popular uprising that has turned into a civil war. Israel is alarmed by the prospect of Russia supplying advanced weapon systems to Syria, saying such arms could end up in the hands of arch-foe Iran or the Lebanese Hezbollah group. "I can say that the shipments are not on their way yet," Yaalon told reporters. "I hope they will not leave, and if, God forbid, they reach Syria, we will know what to do," he said, without disclosing how he came by the information. Although Israel has not publicly taken sides in the Syrian conflict, Western and Israeli sources say it has launched air strikes inside Syria to destroy weapons it believed were destined for Hezbollah guerrillas allied to Assad. Russia's foreign minister said on May 13 that Moscow had no new plans to sell the S-300 to Syria but left open the possibility of delivering such systems under an existing contract. Israeli Strategic Affairs and Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz said the S-300 can reach deep into the Jewish state and threaten flights over its main commercial airport near Tel Aviv. He said he hoped Russia would cancel the deal. "This is still unfortunately the plan, and we are very concerned," Steinitz told reporters in Jerusalem. "This is a kind of encouragement, a kind of support for a brutal regime which is totally wrong, also from a moral point of view." –Yahoo News

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/10/2013 (1401 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Pacific Rim (2-Disc Special Edition)
FILMMAKER Guillermo del Toro is a wholly original talent (see Pan's Labyrinth and his two Hellboys) but one can't help assume Pacific Rim was generated from this easily pitched concept, studio-friendly concept: Transformers vs. Godzilla.
In the year 2020, Earth has been under attack from gigantic reptilian monsters rising from a dimensional rift deep in the Pacific Ocean. The creatures -- dubbed Kaiju -- don't seem to have any purpose other than smashing coastal cities, so the combined nations of the world put aside their differences and pool their resources for a military response. This takes the form of gigantic war-bots -- dubbed Jaegers -- so massive, they need to be piloted by two individuals psychically conjoined to create a single big warrior brain.
Rock stars among these chosen few Jaeger-meisters are Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) and his brother, whose successful run of Kaiju takedowns is tragically cut short in the movie's first few minutes.
The bereft Raleigh spends subsequent years eking out a living in Alaska before he is brought back into the Jaeger program to be teamed with Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi), a young woman orphaned by a Kaiju assault years earlier and looking for a little payback.
Meanwhile, an off-centre scientist named Newton (Charlie Day) attempts to gather intelligence on the Kaiju via mind-meld with a still living kaiju brain, a mission that takes him into the company of a sleazy Hong Kong-based kaiju-parts black marketeer named Hannibal Chau (Ron Perlman).
A movie about robots vs. monsters is obviously going for the broad strokes when it comes to entertainment value. And del Toro delivers this, especially in the film's colossal battle scenes at sea and on the rainy cityscapes of Hong Kong.
But the devilish joy of the film is in its details, whether it's Hannibal Chau's rakish style choices, the steampunk fixtures of a Russian-made Jaeger, or the increasingly fiendish biological defence mechanisms of those demonic Kaiju.
As he demonstrated in Pan's Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro respects the power of myth. He uses that wisely here, mixed with a sense of outsized fun.
DVD extras include lavishly detailed director's notebooks and a blooper reel in which the manic Day figures frequently. Four stars out of five

Brimming with potential and priced to sell, Acer's stripped-down Chromebook is the perfect travel companion.
We're still finding our way in the post-PC era and so far gadget-makers have produced a few duds along the way. Apple's slick iPad still sets the standard when it comes to striking a good balance between portability and usability, but Acer's AU$299 C710 Q1V2C Chromebook proves that the traditional notebook form factor has plenty of life left in it.
The Chromebook runs Google's Chrome OS, which is basically a stripped-down version of Linux designed to do little more than run the Chrome web browser. That's not as inconvenient as you might think in this age of web apps and cloud services.
Meanwhile Acer's $299 hardware is surprisingly impressive considering the budget price tag. The 11.6-inch, 1366x768 LED screen is bright and crisp, while the keyboard is firm and well-spaced. The notebook weighs in at only 1.38 kg and comfortably slips in a travel bag, while you'll squeeze three to four hours from the battery. In terms of connectivity you've got three USB 2.0 ports, an SD card slot, Ethernet, VGA, HDMI, webcam, headphone/mic jack and 802.11b/g/n wi-fi (supporting 2.4 and 5 GHz networks).
Overall the Chromebook puts every budget Windows netbook I've tested to shame. In the last few years I've seen Windows netbooks and notebooks which cost much more, offered much less and were far less pleasant to use. To be fair, this isn't the only Chromebook to reach our shores. We've also recently seen the launch of the $349 Samsung 11.6-inch Series 3 Chromebook in Australia. The $399 HP 14-inch Pavilion 14 Chromebook is also coming, so if you're sold on the Chromebook concept you'll want to weigh up the Acer's hardware against these alternatives.
Acer's Chromebook boots up in around 20 seconds, including the time taken to log into your Google account, and it revives from slumber in 1 second when you lift the lid. The Intel Celeron 1.1 GHz dual-core processor accompanied by 2 GB of RAM isn't exactly a powerhouse, but remember this is Linux -- not Windows -- and it's more than enough to support day-to-day tasks. The Chromebook certainly handles multi-tasking, complex websites and Flash-intensive games better than the AMD-powered HP Pavilion DM1-4108AU running Windows 7 which I bought last year to take to New York, but we'll get back to that in a minute. Even with the improved performance running Chrome OS, it's still worth considering Flash and script blockers to ease the load on the Chromebook (Flash really hammers the battery).
Of course the Chromebook's key selling point is not the hardware but rather the "just works" convenience of using Chrome OS. I must confess that my opinion of the Chromebook is influenced by the fact that I've long been a keen user of Google applications and services such as Chrome, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Reader (R.I.P.) and Google Docs. When it comes to hardware I learn towards Apple's iGadgets and MacBooks, but I'm much more comfortable with Google's platform-agnostic services than locking myself into Apple's tight but limited ecosystem.
The fact that I'm already a keen Google user made the transition to the Chromebook smooth and painless. Once it synced my extensions, bookmarks, browsing history and search history from Chrome on my MacBook Pro, this little Acer instantly felt like it was my computer. As a productivity tool I've taken to it faster than any other post-PC device I've tested, and I'd also put it ahead of many awkward netbooks and Ultrabooks with hideous keyboards and trackpads. If money was no object then the exquisite but expensive 11.6-inch MacBook Air would be the pick up the bunch, but spending more than $1000 on a secondary travel companion is more than some people can justify.
I know the fact I live in the Google ecosystem makes the Chromebook more attractive to me, but of course the inclusion of the full Chrome browser means you can just as easily tap into other cloud services such as Microsoft's impressive SkyDrive and Office Web Apps. Yet if you're a newcomer to the cloud and still wedded to a range of desktop software then the transition to the Chromebook might be more pain than you're willing to bear.
Foregoing desktop applications such as iTunes, Skype, Outlook, Word, Excel, Photoshop, Premiere and Audacity might seem like an instant deal-breaker and that's understandable. I certainly wouldn't trade in my collection of Macs and PCs in favour of Chromebooks.
Acer's Chromebook features a 320 GB hard drive, which seems excessive for a supposedly cloud-focuses device but it means you can load the hard drive with your multimedia library -- copied from USB stick, SD card or downloaded from the web. Chrome OS features a basic built-in media player which should meet your needs. Of course you can store any file on the Chromebook, but if you want to edit Office files you'll need to upload them to the cloud -- something which doesn't bother me but will naturally frustrate some people.
But at $299 the Acer Chromebook is pitched more as your secondary computer and a perhaps travel companion rather than your everyday workhorse. Your reliance on internet access might seem like another deal-breaker, but Chrome will happily cache Gmail, Google Docs and Google Calendar for offline editing and then sync them up to the cloud when you get back online. You can also store an extensive multimedia library on the 320 GB hard drive rather than constantly rely on the internet for entertainment. With these safeguards, I'd be more than happy to trust the Chromebook to serve me well on the road whether I was a student or an information worker.
The cheap yet rather useful Chromebook might also suit less-tech savvy users looking for easy-to-use alternatives to the iPad. People who currently perform all their consumer-oriented tasks in the browser should find moving to the Chromebook should be fairly painless, while reducing the headaches of software updates and malicious software. Of course they need to appreciate what they're sacrificing in return.
The Chromebook is not for everyone. Like all post-PC devices you need to go in understanding its limitations or else risk serious disappointment. Last year I weighed up all my options when looking for an international travel companion and decided that the $399 HP Pavilion running Windows 7 was the best fit for my needs. If I was forced to make that decision today I believe it would lose out to the $299 Acer Chromebook. Your mileage may vary but, short of spending more than $1000 on a Macbook Air, I'd say the Acer C710 Chromebook is the best fit for my travel bag.
