Preparation and Maintenance of a cricket bat:-
For a bat to have a long life it is a necessity to prepare and maintain it in good condition. After purchasing your cricket bat, the next step is to prepare it for action and then maintain it.
There are two phases in the preparation of a bat:
(1) Oiling and
(2) Knocking it in
Oiling of a bat:
Most bats today do not need oiling process, however it is subject to user's discretion. If the Cricket Bat you've just purchased has an anti-scuff cover, then you can skip this process and proceed for knocking of the bat. Apply a light coat of oil to the Face of the cricket bat, using a soft rag. But don't oil the splice of the bat as it may cause the glue to weaken its holding of the blade with the handle. Be careful not to over oil the cricket bat. After applying a thin layer of oil coating, place the bat in horizontal position to dry through the night. Please do the same oiling process again on the next day and leave it to dry. Now the knocking in of the bat can be done as the bat has been oiled. Oiling your bat regularly keeps the fibres of the wood supple and prevents the face of the cricket bat from cracking. Try applying anti-scuff oil once, very lightly.
Knocking in of a bat:
Cricket bats are made from a fairly soft and fibrous material called willow. With cricket balls being delivered like missiles at up to 90mph against your cricket bat it is obviously advisable to prepare your blade to achieve optimal performance, resistance and longevity. This process is referred to as Knocking or Running your cricket bat in.
After purchasing a cricket bat it is very essential to knock in your bat, even though the bat has come in pre-knocked condition from the manufacturer. The areas such as the toe, edges and blade of the bat needs to be knocked in well, as these areas are very vulnerable to the impact of a fast cricket ball which may result in breakages or damages of the bat.
Knocking in your cricket bat is an effective way of ensuring the fibres are knit together well. Thus, preventing any impact damage. As the knocking in is a very important aspect of preparing your bat for action, it must be done in a gradual manner to ensure the wellness of the bat.
Steps on how to knock in your cricket bat:
Take a hard wood bat mallet and gently strike on the face and edges of the cricket bat, like how a ball would be hitting the bat in competitive match situation. Repeat the above process on multiple occasions, slowly increasing the power. Use this method to round the edges off, but be careful with the edges. It's advisable not to use too much power to begin with as it may cause unnecessary damage to bat. Do not hit the bat's edge directly with the mallet, but round it off near the edges. It's a necessity to knock the bat's edges, because it could get damaged during practice sessions or game situations. After getting your bat knocked in well for 2-3 hours, it is advisable to repeat the previous step for a week's time.
You can take it to the nets and hit some short catches with an old ball to warm it up. If any seam marks or indentations appear on the face of the bat then repeat the above process. When you have finished with the knocking in process and some close catching sessions, you can try the bat in a normal net practice. After completing a few net sessions the cricket bat should be ready for a competitive match. Note: One can make use of rope ball for practice if you don't get a bat mallet.
There are other things you can do to add protection to your bat by giving it a protective cover generally called 'Fiber tape'. It should be fitted or positioned in such a way that there should a gap of only 3-5mm from the toe and running up the face of the bat and just ending below the bat manufacturer's labels.

A running discussion on the Cincinnati Reds and everything else in the baseball universe.

Trade Deadline Needs & The Jonny Gomes Mirage
That said, what move should the Reds make. Obviously, the one that provides the most bang for the buck. And, the obvious weaknesses in the 25 man roster are 1) leftfield, 2) shortstop, 3) #1 starter, and 4) high leverage reliever. So, the million dollar question is which one should they target?
Let's start with a #1 starter....
First and foremost, we can scratch number 1 starter off the list. Truth be told, the Reds are in fairly good shape in the rotation due to the emergence of Travis Wood and Mike Leake. The return of Edinson Volquez hasn't gone as smooth as hoped, but the potential is there for him to have an impact. At the moment, the Reds may not have a true #1 starter to anchor the rotation, but they have a lot of quality arms with good upside.
If they actually were interested in acquiring a #1 starter, then they should have gone after Danny Haren, who went to the Angels for the unbelievably low price of Joe Saunders, Patrick Corbin, Rafael Rodriguez, and a PTBNL (rumored to be Tyler Skaggs). With Haren off the market, the price is likely to be too high on any of the remaining pitchers who would represent an improvement.
So, what about shortstop?
Well, I'm still not a Orlando Cabrera fan. In fact, he's about as bad as I expected him to be, but at this point it's difficult to imagine being able to acquire a shortstop that represents a significant upgrade. The Reds need an impact player and those are tough to come by at the shortstop position. Improvements in the Reds' W/L record will follow improvement in team Run Differential. Accordingly, the Reds need to focus on trades that will significantly improve the team Run Differential, which will be difficult to accomplish simply by acquiring a new shortstop.
That said, if I was the GM, the one shortstop for whom I'd make a strong play is Jed Lowrie, who could be a legitimate impact bat at either shortstop or second base. Not to mention, he could also spell Scott Rolen when he needs a breather from carrying the entire team on his back. Still, Lowrie may not be quite ready to step into full-time duty after missing most of the season with mono, but he would be an asset both this year and well into the future.
If it's not Lowrie, then maybe it needs to be a high leverage reliever...
I'd love to see the Reds add a high leverage reliever who can work some quality innings, but the volatility of relievers always makes me nervous. One of the worst trades in recent organization history illustrates the problem of dealing for relievers. The Reds shipped Felipe Lopez, Austin Kearns, and Ryan Wagner for a package including a couple of relievers. Obviously, that deal didn't turn out very well. The price was high, but the production was not.
Like most Reds fans, I have fond memories of the 1990 squad that featured the Nasty Boys. The value of having 3 elite, shutdown power arms working high leverage innings cannot be overstated. That said, it's simply not easy to find those guys in this day and age. It's unlikely to be worth it to pay the price necessary to get relievers of this type when they are already established, but the inherent volatility of the position would make trying to identify them before they are established at the MLB level would be equally problematic.
If the Reds were to head in this direction, I wouldn't mind Brandon League of the Seattle Mariners. He has a big arm and very heavy groundball tendencies.
All of which leads us to leftfield...
Leftfield is commonly referred to as an "offense-first" position. While it's true that the lesser defensive demands of the position lends itself to hiding sluggers, the fact remains that, regardless of position, a player's value is a function of his runs created and runs prevented. So, the rules of baseball value don't cease to apply simply because conventional wisdom holds that leftfield defensive doesn't matter. Defense matters....everywhere.
That said, Jonny Gomes, who conventional wisdom holds has been a significant asset to this team, has actually been dragging the team down. If the Reds want to make a push for the postseason and be serious contenders, then they need to remove Johnny Gomes from full-time duty. Plain and simple. Cut and dried.
Gomes certainly has value, but he needs to be used appropriately to bring out that value.
I was high on Gomes when he was first signed and I still like him now, but that's dependent on using him correctly. First, his glove is so poor that it completely drags down the value of his production. It's hard to believe, but his glove really IS that bad. Gomes would be most valuable used as the righthanded portion of a platoon and a power bat off the bench.
During his time in Cincinnati, Jonny Gomes has quickly stepped into the shoes of the faithfully departed Adam Dunn. Gomes isn't just taking the over the 7th position on the lineup card, but also the role of the lightening rod that was inadvertently filled by the Big Donkey.
For years, Dunn straddled the divide between the sabermetricians and the traditional scouts. Sabermetricians used more advanced metrics to value Dunn, while the more traditional scouting valued him based on his tools and how he went about his production. Obviously, depending on what you use to evaluate him, he grades out very differently.
Despite the accolades he receives from some quarters, the truth is that as of now Gomes is producing at almost exactly a replacement level. In essence, the Reds are getting almost no production out of the leftfield spot.
On offense, Gomes is hitting .274/.326/.461/.787, which is hardly inspiring production for an "offense-first" position. Of course, his 13 homeruns and 64 RBI are used as evidence of his "strong production." In truth, even his offensive production hasn't been strong, as evidenced by his 2.0 Park Adjusted Runs Above Average. For comparison sake, Brandon Phillips (7.5), Ryan Hanigan (4.9), Ramon Hernandez (3.2), Joey Votto (35.4), and Scott Rolen (15.3) are all significantly better in Park Adjusted Runs Above Average.
Obviously, his offense isn't really driving his value, which is problematic because we haven't gotten to the disturbing part of his game. Whatever offensive production that Gomes generates above the norm, he then gives right back on the defensive side.
On defense, Gomes rates out as 10 Runs Below Average on the UZR metric. When extrapolated out over 150 games, Gomes' defensive production grades out at 21.7 Runs Below Average. When your defensive performance is so far below average, it takes very strong offensive production to make up for it. Gomes simply doesn't provide enough offense to carry his glove.
Not surprisingly, Jonny's total run production grades out poorly. His Runs Above Replacement is a meager -0.1. In essence, Jonny is replacement level, which is stunningly bad production. The type of production you would expect from the 25th man on the roster when called into action off the bench.
When you translate his total run production into Wins Above Replacement (WAR), Gomes grades out as 0.0 wins. He provides zero wins above what a replacement player would provide.
If the Reds truly want to upgrade, then they need to get better total run production from leftfield. The best acquisition would be Jayson Werth, who over the past few seasons has been roughly 5.0 Wins Above Replacement. Obviously, acquiring Werth more than halfway into the season would limit the amount of games he would get to play for the Reds, but he would still represent a roughly 2 win improvement over the remainder of the season.
By going from Gomes to Werth in leftfield, the Reds could ultimately be going from 85-86 wins to 87-88 wins. That could be the difference between the postseason and another uneventful October.
If the Reds cannot or will not acquire Jayson Werth, then they need to consider internal options. In fact, Chris Heisey or Chris Dickerson might be the better option as the full-time starter. Or, using Jonny Gomes only against southpaws. Or, maybe even a Chris Heisey/Danny Dorn platoon, which personally I'd love to see.
In Dorn's minor league career, he hits .312/.394/.549/.943 against righties, while Heisey hit .339/.415/.506/.921 against southpaws. Of course, the Reds would never give Dorn a legitimate shot at the heavy side of the platoon, but they could also go with Juan Francisco or another lefthanded option.
Whatever they do, they would be hard pressed to get worse total production than what is being provided by Jonny Gomes. It would also allow Dusty to use Gomes in a role that better utilizes his skills and enables him to provide better overall run production.
If the Reds want to make a serious postseason push, then they need to look hard at areas of weakness and figure out ways to improve them. The Reds simply aren't good enough to succeed with replacement level production at an offense first position.
I like Jonny Gomes, but he has to be used correctly. The Reds need to get better production from leftfield, plain and simple.

This was by far the most boring thing i have ever read that is baseball related. Wow is all that can really be said, just WOW!ReplyDelete
Sorry to hear it. There are all kinds of blogs and websites out there that might be more appealing to you. If you don't like mine, then I'm sure you'll be able to find countless others out there that you do enjoy.
But Gomes chews tobacco, drinks beer, gets his shirt dirty, and has 65 RBI, doesn't that make him a great player? lolReplyDelete
I don't mind having Gomes in LF, but the Reds could defiantly use an upgrade there.
Great post as always Lark, keep them coming!

i really think we need ocab out of our lineup. but that's just my opinion. good post lark, who besides werth might you go after for left?ReplyDelete
You make good points about Gomes, who I admit is a slightly below average player. But remember; he hits .374/.421/.741 with runners in scoring position. That's got too be the best line in baseballReplyDelete
Gomes certainly has a good backstory and attitude, but you're right, a dirty shirt isn't enough to make up for a lack of production.
Thanks for the comment!
I'm not an O-Cab fan either, but I'm just not sure who we could get that would represent a significant upgrade. I'd love to get Jed Lowrie, but the BoSox are not easy to line-up with in trade.
I've heard Stephen Drew's name tossed around, but I'm not a huge fan of any of the Drew brothers.
I don't think any of the elite options are a possibility, so that rules out Jeter, Elvis, Hanley, and Tulo. I don't see us being able to acquire any of the playoff contending team shortstops, so Aybar, Furcal, Hardy, Uribe, and Everth are out.
I'm just not sure who that would leave, Jack Wilson? Yuniesky? Ian Desmond?
Desmond intrigues me, but he's just a rookie and probably isn't really an upgrade at this point.
All in all, shortstop is a very difficult position to find an impact bat. For me, Lowrie is the guy.
Anyway, thanks for the comment!
Hey VF,ReplyDelete
You raise an interesting point. The stats I was using analyze production at a higher level than Batting Average with Runners in Scoring Position, but it is included.
That said, there certainly IS value to a player who can raise his game in high leverage situations. Unfortunately, I'm just not all that convinced players can actually do that. And, to the extent it can be done, I'm not convinced that Gomes is one of the players with that capability. Frequently, such variation is due to the small sample size of high leverage situations.
I suspect that over the course of Gomes' career, his splits are not consistently better in high leverage situations.
Still, if he WAS able to do so, then he'd get an additional bump in value in my book.
Anyway, thanks for the comment, I didn't explicitly consider BA with RISP when writing this up.
For some reason I got so wrapped up in the shortstop discussion that I forgot your question on leftfield, which might have been for the best since I just don't see many viable options out there.
Given our needs, I think David DeJesus would have made a lot of sense. He could play plus defense in left and hit leadoff. However, his high price tag and subsequent injury makes it a moot point.
Ultimately, it looks like we are left with Corey Hart, Jayson Werth, and Adam Dunn. Personally, I wouldn't touch Corey Hart. I don't like him as a hitter and believe he more resembles the hitter from 2008 and 2009 than the hitter we see in 2010. I'm on record as being a huge Jayson Werth fan, so obviously he'd be my target. And, of course, the Big Donkey. Really tough to imagine the Reds bringing him back to town.
Outside of that, who is out there that makes sense? I can't really think of anyone. Ideally, we'd be able to bring in a plus defender who hits lefty with leadoff skills. I'd love to get Denard Span, but the Twins covet him and would probably never move him.
Unfortunately, not too many out there that fit the bill, so we might be left trying to fill the gap with internal options. Maybe Chris Dickerson makes some sense.
Anyway, I'd be curious to know who you would target. Any leftfielders out there that catch your eye???
Thanks for the comment!
I think the game today made clear (if the stats haven't already) that we need to make the move to Heisey in left. Two months of Gomes ops'ing 700 is a big sample size. His power has waned which is why everything else drags him down to replacement level. Heisey is not a slouch in any area and has been productive with irregular playing time. I don't think he is the type to be exposed with more PT. He has the makeup and the tools. I think he can be a .300 hitter and I don't think a platoon is necessary. The team just needs to show they have guts like they did when they gave Leake the 5th spot out of spring. Gomes will be a spark plug in more limited duty.ReplyDelete
- smittyJuly 31, 2010 at 2:10 AM
i honestly think nix should be replaced with balentien and have him split time with gomes and see if he can take the majority of starts. i like competition.ReplyDelete
as for shortstop i would offer a lot for a big name guy(not jeter. eww.) tulo would be awesome, but would cost alot
At SS, Maicer Izturis has always been a favorite of mine and LAA is looking like they just aren't gonna make it. Unfortunately I doubt he would get thru waivers. I also love Jason Bartlett of TB and his young counterpart Reid Brignac. Again though doubt we could get them. The same with Drew who I wouldn't mind either, it's a solid upgrade.ReplyDelete
If it's LF that interests you I like Kelly Johnson from 'Zona. IIRC he was an OF converted to the IF. Unfortunately I doubt we could get our hands on him, his salary is really low so we'd have to cough up a significant prospect and not sure he is quite worth that. I also liked Alberto Callaspo but of course the Angels snatched him up and I think it was as much for the future (at 3B and at the top of their lineup) as it was perceived for a potential playoff run. Though I'd still call and offer up a nice package for Izturis (especially now with Cabrera's injury). A bit of a stretch but a guy I still like who I think we could get is Jeremy Hermida who was just DFA. A Hermida for Balentein deal makes some sense. Maybe we even wait until Hermida clears waivers to do it.
Anyhow I still think we could have done worse this season than Cabrera, although we certainly could have done better. He isn't what I had hoped he would be but to hear folks talk about him you'd think he was totally blowing it. I don't know what his UZR is or his WAR but I'm guessing he's been better than Janish would have been. Then again I am willing to admit that Janish may have actually improved again this past offseason to be above replacement level, I think we will see soon.
Balentein for Hermida
Matt Maloney & Didi Gregorious for Maicer Izturis
Chris Valaika & Danny Ray Herrera for Kelly Johnson
And one that is kinda crazy but just might work Harang & Gomes to LA for Manny & DeJesus Jr and cash.
Just some ideas....
Oh and I'd much rather have Cozart starting next season at SS than Jed Lowrie but I'd be interested to hear why Lark likes Lowrie so much he seems like a 2B only to me.ReplyDelete
Reid Brignac is a guy though like I mentioned earlier that I like alot. But a deal with TB in the offseason for either SS I could live with also. We could match up well IMO, Alonso needs a home and he is cheap for a while and Carlos Pena is on his way out to FA, I think they would prefer to keep Crawford over him if they keep either. But again I think Cozart will play fine there starting next season.
To be honest, I think it's time to promote Dickerson for centerfield and leadoff and plug Heisey into left and the 2nd spot in the lineup. That seems like a significant upgrade in table-setters and defense.
It's an exciting season for Reds fans, as we are not only in the hunt but we have reinforcements on the horizon.
Thanks for the comment.
It would be tough to have a time share with Gomes and Balentien, as each hits from the right side. Not to mention, I just don't think Balentien is in the organization's plan.
I'd still love to see what Dorn could do, but I don't think it happens, especially with the team in the playoff hunt.
Thanks for the comment.
You mention a few interesting shortstops, but as you point out none of them would make it through waivers.
First, on Maicer, I know he's a popular guy in some circles, but I just don't buy him as a regular, every day shortstop. He's already 29 and has a career slash line of .274/.339/.390/.729 and packs a questionable glove at shortstop. To top it off, he's a favorite of Mike Scioscia, so the cost would be prohibitive.
Second, the Rays are going to have to make a decision between Brignac and Bartlett, unless they shift one of the two to second base. I wouldn't mind either of the two, but it's difficult to line-up with the Rays on a trade, as they simply have so much talent.
Interesting to see you mention Kelly Johnson, as he has long been a favorite of mine. I love his plate approach and his swing mechanics. I mentioned on the message board side that he would make an intriguing option for us between left, 3rd, and 2nd. He would have given us a tablesetting, lefthanded bat and a bit more depth.
I'm not a fan of Alberto Callaspo, who seems to pack an iron glove regardless of the position. And, I'm also not a fan of Stephen Drew. I just don't like the Drews for how they handle their contract negotiations. To me, it seems like they value money more than the game. I don't mind players going after the money, as the players are the ones who generate the revenue, but it just seems like there is a proper path for doing so and the Drews never take it. Not to mention, his value always seems to rise about his production due to name recognition.
As for Janish, I still think he was a better option than O-Cab, but I guess we'll get a glimpse of it one way or the other until O-Cab gets back.
Thanks for the comment. I'll touch on Lowrie in the next comment.
As for Jed Lowrie, I'm just a big fan and have been since his collegiate days. He went to Stanford and was just a pure hitter for the Cardinal. Some questioned if his swing would translate to the professional ranks, but he quickly proved that it would. Additionally, he played 2b at Stanford and played it well, but the BoSox wanted to see if he could handle shortstop and he was up to the challenge.
At one point, the BoSox were planning to roll out a middle infield of Jed Lowrie at short and Dustin Pedroia at second. Unfortunately for Lowrie, his career has gone off the rails due to a lingering wrist injury and a bout of mono.
Regardless, I have always really liked his tools, skills, and baseball IQ. I just think he's a baseball player to the core. He's also a bit of a rarity, as he's an up the middle player with plus on-base skills. And, I think he's got the goods to hold down the shortstop position.
In his roughly 550 innings at shortstop at the MLB level, Lowrie is a +7 (+8 in 2008, -1 in 2009, and 0 in 2010) in the plus/minus system, has a .992 fielding percentage, and a UZR/150 of 23.5.
It's a small sample size, to be sure, but before the health problems the scouts were stating that he was a legitimate option at shortstop. Personally, I'm a believer.
From where I sit, Lowrie could be a switch hitter with an impact bat and at least league average defense at a premier defensive position. He could be a ~.280 hitter with a ~.370 OBP and 15-18 homer power. Add in league average defense and I really think you've got something special.
So far in 2010, he's hitting .310/.412/.448 for the Sox. Rumor had it the BoSox offered Lowrie to the Rocks for Chris Iannetta. If I was the GM of the Reds, I would have traded for Iannetta (something along the lines of Juan Francisco and Matt Maloney or Sam LeCure) and then flipped Iannetta to the Sox for Lowrie.
From where I sit, Lowrie would be a great fit at the shortstop position and in the #2 spot in the lineup for the next 5+ years.
Anyway, my $.02.
Hmm, the way you describe him sounds like a switch hitting Ryan Theriot, not bad IMO one could do a lot worse.ReplyDelete
On Maicer Izturis I think his glove work at SS is sometimes spotty because he hasn't been allowed to play there much. He's had to back up 1st OCab and now Aybar there, I think with that comes some rust when he does get to play. As far as his bat goes I get that but at worst he'd be a nice platoon mate with a guy like Janish as he is a much more productive hitter from the left side. What I like about him is he is actually quite similar to Janish offensively in his on base & contact ability and both are decent situational hitters. Neither offer a whole lot of pop but Izturis has more speed and gives us a LH bat with some versatility in case BP or Rolen need a day off. All that and the fact that he really shouldn't cost us too much even though it might be more than one should expect to pay for a platoon/backup IF type. Just because LAA gets great perceived value doesn't mean A: it is great value or B: isn't ultimately worth it if Izturis does what is expected of him. For example I know alot of fans would hate it if we dealt Juan Francisco for him (though not sure LAA would) but I could care less as I'm convinced that his odds of ever coming close to his potential is practically nil.
Personally I don't care who they get but they need a top of the lineup bat with good OBP% & contact skills and preferably someone who doesn't hurt us on the defensive side of the ball. Speed and pop optional but they'd sure be nice.
Personally, I don't believe a Ryan Theriot comparison does justice to Jed Lowrie. So far in 2010, Lowrie is hitting .308/.429/.538/.967 in 63 plate appearances. In those 63 PAs, he is seeing a robust 4.29 pitches and has hit 2 homeruns, which is already 1 more than Theriot has hit in 479 Plate Appearances in 2010. Theriot has just 15 homeruns in his entire career of 2587 plate appearances. Obviously, a small sample size, but an encouraging one nonetheless.
As for Izturis, I wouldn't mind him, but I just think the price outweighs the benefit. The Halos wouldn't want Francisco, because he is the antithesis of everything for which they stand.
On Francisco, I'm not concerned about him reaching his potential, rather I just don't think his potential is all that high. He's an offense first type player with a flawed offensive game.
Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Do you ever read this gobbledy-gook that you write, before pressing the send button? Obviously not, or we wouldn't have to endure the same trite sayings like "Having said that", over & over, ad naseum! Not exactly insightful stuff, either. Don't quit your day job, as a future in sports analogy is probably not in your future.ReplyDelete
Always nice to hear from a fan, epecially when they bring such constructive criticism. Interestingly enough, I didn't use "Having said that" even once in the post, so maybe you should read it before you respond.
Additionally, I'd love some feedback on what I need to work on in order to have a future in "sports analogy."
Or, maybe you should just search the web for a blog/site that you actually enjoy. That's one of the great things about the internet, there's something out there for everyone.

Your dental health is important, and our patients' safety is our top priority. We want to assure you of the measures we take to maintain a clean and safe environment so you can continue to receive needed dental care without fear or concern. We are monitoring the COVID-19 situation and all CDC guidelines very closely.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits in South Bend, IN
Our cosmetic dentists in South Bend are experts in brightening beautiful smiles using the latest methods in teeth whitening. Because we take pride in our patient care and want you to be completely satisfied with your results, we perform a thorough dental exam to determine the cause of your discoloration before whitening. This is important because peroxide-based teeth whiteners do not work on tetracycline stains, crowns or veneers, and diet and certain medications can affect the expected results. In addition, some teeth may be discolored due to defective fillings or decay, requiring repair before cosmetic whitening treatment. Our dentists in South Bend will work with you to determine the best whitening option for your teeth.
At-home teeth whitening kits are a convenient way to achieve a brightened smile in privacy and on your schedule. When you choose an at-home whitening kit, impressions are made of your teeth for custom whitening trays. To ensure best results, we provide you with detailed instructions for dispensing the whitening gel and wearing the custom-fit trays. When trays are worn one hour a day for 14 days, many patients see up to six shades of improvement.

Home Page › Herbs › cleavers › Detox healthily
Predictably, lots of people I know are using a quiet January as a chance to detox. They are mainly just abstaining from alcohol, but some are also steering clear of sugar and fatty treats too. At the other end of the spectrum, there are detox diets that involve days of fasting then only drinking juices and water. But the question is, is it worth it?
What is a detox and who needs to do it?
Detox, or detoxification, essentially means the removal of toxins from the system. Our bodies are built to do this themselves via the digestive system, liver, kidneys, and the skin. The more "toxins" that are ingested, the harder these organs have to work to get rid of them to prevent them doing damage. So if you have been eating a reasonable diet and drinking alcohol responsibly, and you generally feel well, it is likely that your organs are doing ok by themselves. However, if you have been over-indulging for a long period of time, you feel sluggish, tired and unwell, and/or your digestion is slow and not functioning very well, it is likely that your body could do with a bit of a break and some looking after.
Why it might help
Fatty foods and alcohol put extra strain on your liver, as it has to produce more bile and enzymes, to emulsify all the fats and break down alcohol in your blood. Cutting out or significantly cutting down fried foods and alcohol will, a) give your liver a bit of a break and b) allow your tolerance to alcohol to decrease a bit. The problem with having a high tolerance to alcohol is that you end up drinking more to feel an effect, which causes more damage in your body. It's also more expensive!
In more extreme detox diets, almost all fats and proteins are cut out and all your energy comes from fruit and vegetables. Cutting down protein will spare your stomach and pancreas from having to produce the chemicals necessary to break it down, and will lessen work carried out by the kidneys to remove any excess amino acids (protein building blocks) from the blood. However, protein is essential for growth and repair of the body, so restricting intake for a long period of time can lead to health problems. While reducing fat will spare the liver, it is essential for absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and fat is needed for the production of hormones and healthy cells, so again, that isn't sustainable for any length of time. The other problem with very low-fat and -protein diets is that you will be eating high levels of carbohydrates (which are essentially complex sugars), which have to be broken down by enzymes from the pancreas, and will lead to lots of sugars in the blood and greater demand for insulin to store it all away.
Comparisons of different diets usually come to the conclusion that a Mediterranean diet leads to greatest health, lots of fruit and vegetables, but also plenty of healthy poly-unsaturated and mono-unsaturated fats and protein from seafood, beans, nuts, seeds and pulses. So, ultimately, you are better off sticking to a healthy diet and cutting out unhealthy, high-sugar, deep fried food, than going the whole hog and subsisting on juices for a month.
Herbs to help you along the way
If you have decided to cut out/down the alcohol and unhealthy foods for a while, you can help the whole detox process by adding some herbs in the form of teas or added to your food when cooking. There are lots of herbs that are used to help support different bodily organs and systems, which can aid detoxification. Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is particularly great, as the leaves can be used to help support the kidneys (and act as a diuretic) and the roots promote liver activity. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) and milk thistle (Carduus marianum) both help to boost phase II biotransformation in the liver (this is a step in the detoxification process that prevents build up of toxic chemicals). Milk thistle has also been found to have a protective effect on liver cells and improved liver function tests have been demonstrated in many clinical trials. Cleavers, or goose grass (Galium aparine), is known traditionally as a "blood cleanser", which helps to boost elimination of toxins by supporting the lymphatic system. It has also been found to be high in antioxidant compounds. Finally, nettles are great to add into your detox support mix, as they help cleanse the body of uric acid, act as a mild diuretic, and are really high in vitamins and minerals.

Two Colorado University students are facing multiple felony charges after campus police say they fed marijuana-laced brownies to their unsuspecting classmates and professor. KUSA's Nick McGurk reports.
Two University of Colorado students have been arrested for allegedly feeding marijuana-laced brownies to their unsuspecting classmates and professor, police said.
Thomas Ricardo Cunningham, 21, and Mary Elizabeth Essa, 19, baked the pot-laced brownies for the class as part of a "bring food day," the University of Colorado Police Department said in a news release on Sunday. The professor and classmates were unaware that the brownies contained tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, police said.
On Friday morning, officers were called to the Hellems Arts and Sciences Building on the Boulder campus on a report of a professor who was complaining of dizziness and going in and out of consciousness.Paramedics transported her to a hospital.
Later that afternoon, a student's mother notified campus police that her daughter, who had been in the professor's class, was having an anxiety attack and was at a hospital. On Saturday, a second student told police that she felt like she was going to "black out" after the class. Her family took her to the hospital for evaluation.
An investigation revealed that the three hospitalized victims - and five other classmates - were suffering from the effects of marijuana, police said. The three hospitalized victims have since been released.
Watch US News crime videos on NBCNews.com
Cunningham and Essa were interviewed by police on Saturday evening and admitted that the brownies contained marijuana, police said.
They were arrested on suspicion of four felonies: second-degree assault, inducing consumption of controlled substances by fraudulent means, conspiracy to commit second-degree assault and conspiracy to commit inducing consumption of controlled substances by fraudulent means.

SPSMarket brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
2 Gewinner wurden aus 28 Designs von 5 Designern ausgewählt.
San Pedro Square Market
The San Pedro Square Market will be a public market located in the heart of Downtown San Jose. The lively Market will include approximately 50 unique vendors selling everything from farm fresh fruits and meats to perfect raviolis and beautiful imported clothing. The aromas of fresh ground coffee and baked goods will fill three market halls. The Market will present daily entertainment and showcase beautiful art created by first-rate artists and craftsmen. The heart and soul of project is the historic Peralta Adobe---the oldest building in San Jose. The Peralta Adobe Plaza will offer outdoor seating and a beautiful setting for morning coffee, a fabulous lunch, or an evening concert with dinner or a cocktail. The Market aims to be San Jose's most vibrant retail center. Come and explore the Market---take a casual stroll during the day or settle in for a relaxing evening filled with music and entertainment.
Families, millennial's, community, foodies
Ok. This is the second go around with 99 designs. We have honed the concept for the logo a bit more.
Our logo will be "San Pedro Square Market" that has a flower attached to the "S" with a hummingbird drinking from the flower. I have attached a picture as a suggestion of what we want.
The second logo should have the Hummingbird drinking from the flower as the focal point. Then have "San Pedro" above with "Square" below, and finally a cool "Market" through the middle of the image. Obviously keep the integrity of the hummingbird in the second logo.
Please, please please. The name of the project is San Pedro Square Market.
The logo can be a suggestion of a humming bird and or the flower or you can get very precise and descriptive.

Women entrepreneurs looking to create brilliant businesses that support their ideal lives.

There is a balance with these women - they love what they do and want to be very successful, but they also know what really matters in life and want their business to support a full and fulfilling life, not the other way around.
We need a logo that will reflect the Business Brilliance brand: it is built on a solid foundation, sparkles, thrives, brings light, life and freedom to women entrepreneurs. It is feminine, balanced, brilliant and powerful. This logo can be a play on a University emblem, but should also have a modern, feminine and refreshing feel to it. If I like your design, there is a chance to design my overall brand logo (also using the idea of business brilliance, but also my name). I need to be able to use this logo in many different formats, including a header on my website, in my ezine, in my printed materials, on promotional products, and for signs at live events. It needs to read well small and large.
I'll attach my current logo design because I love the sparkles and the deep turquoise blue used, but feel free to be really creative beyond that. If you have ideas on how to improve this existing logo, bring it on! I'll happily pay you for a design I love!

Finding a new pair of jeans probably takes longer than it should since you usually waste a lot of time trying on sizes you think should fit, but never will. So like a best friend who's not afraid to tell you how it is, a clothing shop in the UK has just added a full body 3D scanner that will reveal the cold, hard truth about just how curvy you really are.
Recently installed at the New Look store in London's Westfield Stratford mall, Bodymetrics' scanning booth looks like a change room, but instead of mirrors inside you'll find a set of eight PrimeSense 3D laser sensors. You'll still need to strip down to your undies for it to produce an accurate reading, but as the lasers scan up and down your body they make a hundred different measurements which are then processed by the company's body shape analytics to provide recommendations on what style and size of jeans will fit you the best.
The scanning booth is said to be "a fraction of the cost of previous body scanners" which translates to: still kind of expensive. But they can be installed in just a few hours, and not only do they reduce the lineups for the changing rooms, in theory they should also reduce the amount of ill-fitting clothing that gets returned. Also, I don't think I'd mind the TSA's own full body scanners if they let me know I was safe to fly and would look great in a size 32. [Bodymetrics via Ubergizmo]

DU's Zucker and D. Shore make U.S. World Junior camp
As expected, freshman wing Jason Zucker and sophomore center Drew Shore will report to Albany, N.Y., next week and represent DU in the final U.S. World Junior camp. Freshmen forwards Beau Bennett and Nick Shore did not make the cut, which will be announced Tuesday by USA Hockey in Buffalo, host of the Dec. 26-Jan. 5 World Junior Championship.
My sources confirmed Zucker and D. Shore made the 27- to 29-man preliminary roster and, if they remain healthy, are considered first-line players for the final 22-man squad. They will miss DU's Dec. 31-Jan. 1 nonconference series against Northern Michigan.
Shore is having a sensational season, leading DU in goals (13), points (24), plus-minus (plus-13), power-play goals (four) and game-winning goals (three). Among freshman, Zucker leads the country in goals (12) and has a team-high 71 shots. He is third among Pios in plus-minus (plus-8), behind Shore and 2009-10 U.S. World Junior teammate Matt Donovan (plus-11). Zucker was the youngest member of the prestigious U.S. team last year.
Bennett and Nick Shore are banged up, but I'm not sure that's why they were excluded. Bennett, who has three goals and 10 points in 17 games, suffered a knee injury Saturday and could miss this weekend's series at Alaska-Anchorage. Nick Shore (one goals, four points in nine games) broke his right wrist in the Oct. 8 season opener at Vermont and has been playing with a brace since returning from a nine-game absence.
Goalie Adam Murray and defenseman William Wrenn are also eligible and were once considered candidates for the 19-under team.

At the start of November, Greenpeace threw down the gauntlet to 15 top Italian and French luxury fashion brands, challenging these companies with 25 'uncomfortable' questions about their supply chains.
Why? Every day another piece of the Amazon is destroyed to clear the way for cattle ranching and the production of leather used to make our shoes, bags and belts. A similar chain of events takes place in Indonesia, where the habitat of the last Sumatran tigers is being trashed to make low-cost paper packaging. While in China, Mexico and other regions of the planet, hazardous chemicals used by the textile industry are polluting our precious water resources.
These dangerous business practices are putting our natural resources at risk and threatening people's livelihoods and any companies involved should be held accountable for their actions. So we asked these brands to outline what measures they are taking to ensure that their products are not being tainted with forest destruction and hazardous chemicals.
Big brands caught off-trend
When it comes to fashion many consider brands such as Chanel, Prada and Dolce&Gabbana to be real trendsetters within the sector. But have a look at the results of our survey at: www.thefashionduel.com. How disappointing to discover that these brands are failing to take urgent and transparent action to eliminate the release of hazardous chemicals from their supply chains and products. They are also failing to put in place concrete measures to eliminate deforestation from their supply chain.
Other brands, like Salvatore Ferragamo and Louis Vuitton, have only presented a partial commitment: showing a real lack of ambition to become environmental leaders and dress the growing number of conscious consumers who are looking for fashion with a story they can be proud of.
The Italian fashion giant made an ambitious and binding commitment to eliminate all hazardous chemicals from its supply chain and products by 2020, and also made commitments with regard to its policies on the procurement of leather and pulp and paper.
These commitments are just the beginning and must be swiftly followed up by action on the ground to ensure that real change happens where it is needed most to help protect our life-giving waterways and beautiful rainforests.
But it is a fabulous first step and begs the obvious question: if Valentino can do it, why not the rest? Beautiful fashion does not need to cost the Earth.

text: Lanvin's vision for Spring 2012 is an "Exotic and Festive Dinner Party." Shot by Steven Meisel and directed by House and Holme, the video shows a glam, extravagant dinner party with riddled with just the smallest hitch: it's infested by crawly, demonic snakes. Set to the song "Cookieman" which was performed by Maxine Ashley and written and produced by Pharrell Williams, the campaign is a departure from the brand's more upbeat, cheerful offerings.
