Hypertension (HIgh Blood Pressure) by Jennifer McLaughlin
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a very common condition. In the United States, one in four adults are affected (Wang & Vasan, 2005). It is the leading cause of premature death among adults worldwide (Falkner, 2009) and the primary risk factor for both stroke and coronary heart failure (Bartholomy, 2008). The incidence of high blood pressure increases with age. However, even pediatric hypertension is on the rise (Falkner, 2009).
Blood pressure is a measurement of the force exerted by the blood against vessel walls, or simply, how hard the heart has to work to pump blood through the body. High blood pressure indicates an elevated workload on the heart and arteries. This, over time, weakens these vessles and may lead to potentially fatal cardiovascular disease, such as plaque build-up in arteries, aneurisms, stroke, heart attack, or congestive heart failure. Hypertension can also damage the kidneys and the retina of the eye leading to blindness (Bartholomy, 2008).
Hypertension is often called "the silent killer" because there are usually no symptoms associated with the condition. Because of this, health care providers routinely measure blood pressure with the hope of normalizing it before complications arise. Once recognized, high blood pressure can easily be monitored at a health care facility or at home.
Blood pressure measurement consists of systolic pressure (the force when the left ventricle is contracting) over diastolic pressure (the force when the heart is at rest). Normal adult blood pressure is 120 mmHg over 80 mmHg. An individual may be diagnosed with hypertension when blood pressure numbers consistently read 140 over 90, or higher. If only the systolic pressure number is elevated this is known as isolated systolic hypertension. When systolic pressure exceeds 158, the probability of cardiovascular disease doubles regardless of diastolic pressure (Bartholomy, 2008). Blood pressure readings that fall between normal and hypertensive are considered pre-hypertension.
There are two types of hypertension: primary and secondary. Secondary hypertension is caused by another condition or medication such as kidney damage, endocrine dysfunction, oral contraceptive, or hormone replacement therapy. However, in 85 to 90 percent of the cases, the cause of hypertension is unknown and is considered primary hypertension.
Although the causes of primary hypertension are unknown, there are many predisposing lifestyle and dietary factors that are known to precipitate the condition.
- Oxidative stress describes an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant defense mechanisms. ROSs cause structural and functional damage to endothelial cells, create oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, promote the increase of blood sugar and insulin, and degrades the vasodilator nitric oxide. Hypertensive individuals not only have an impaired antioxidant defense mechanism, but they also have a strong response to oxidative stress. (Houston, 2009).
- Stress causes an increase in free radical activity and cortisol. Cortisol then raises blood pressure and blood sugar and depletes magnesium and potassium, which are necessary to maintain normal blood pressure.
- Nutrient deficiency or excess can impact blood pressure. For example, high sodium and low potassium consumption work together to increase blood pressure. These imbalances will be explored further in the holistic health supportive protocol.
- Many hypertensive individuals are insulin resistant and therefore have high serum insulin, which is vasoconstrictive.
- Obesity adds to the work required of the heart. This extra strain on the heart increases blood pressure.
- A sedentary lifestyle, even without obesity, can increase insulin resistance and stress, thus increasing risk of hypertension.
- Heavy metal toxicity (especially cadmium and lead) can play a role in high blood pressure.
- Smoking increases cadmium and cortisol levels while decreasing vitamins C and B and increasing oxidative stress.
Treatment Plan
The goal of treatment is to reduce blood pressure and this can usually be done with a combination of medication, diet, and lifestyle changes. Although allopathic medicine recognizes the impact of nutrition and lifestyle on hypertension, these practitioners usually rely heavily on medication to normalize blood pressure. Holistic practitioners prefer to focus on dietary and lifestyle changes, adding medications in smaller dosages and only when necessary. Many individuals can control blood pressure through diet and lifestyle changes alone, but antihypertensive drugs may be necessary for some, especially those with complications (Houston, 2009). Practitioners may use one or more of the following blood pressure medications (A.D.A.M, 2011).
- Diuretics help kidneys remove sodium from the body.
- Beta-blockers decrease the rate and force of the heart.
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) relax blood vessels.
- Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) relax blood vessels.
- Calcium channel blockers relax blood vessels by blocking calcium from entering the cell.
- Other medications that are not used as frequently include alpha-blockers, centrally acting drugs that signal the brain and nervous system to relax blood vessels, vasodilators, and renin inhibitors.
In addition to medication, the allopathic approach often includes daily exercise as well as dietary changes outlined in the DASH diet (dashdiet.org). This diet has a strong emphasis on whole grains, low-fat foods, fruits, and vegetables. The following holistic protocol for hypertension differs from DASH in its inclusion of quality fats, reduced grain consumption, and specific anti-hypertensive foods and supplements.
Holistic health supportive protocol for hypertension
A holistic health protocol for hypertension begins with an assessment of current diet and
exercise regimen. A comprehensive cardiovascular assessment, an oxidative stress test,
and a kidney analysis may also be recommended. Current medications or conditions may affect nutrient digestion or absorption and should be considered as well.
A dietary plan will focus on nutrient rich whole foods with a strong emphasis on plant-based foods from organic sources. Many hypotensive individuals have poor digestion. And so, in addition to following these nutritional guidelines, it is important to take a deep breath and relax before eating. Hydrochloric acid tablets and digestive enzymes may also be considered.
Protein should constitute about 30% of the diet. Appropriate protein foods include whole grains, legumes, nuts, wild caught fish, pastured chickens and their eggs, grass-fed beef, lamb, bison, and grass-fed dairy products. Soy is often suggested as healthy protein food, but individuals should be wary of the phytoestrogens in soy which can have harmful hormonal effects (Sinatra, 2003).
Fats should constitute about 30% of the diet, and should include mono-unsaturated fats, especially omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids (Bartholomy, 2009). Good sources of omega-3 fatty acids are coldwater fish, fish oil, flax oil, and nuts. Extra virgin olive oil is a good source of omega-9 fatty acids. Saturated fat, found primarily in animal fats and coconut oil, should be about 30% of fat calories (Barton, 2008). Damaged or altered fats, including trans fats and refined oils, should be completely avoided.
Carbohydrates should constitute the remaining 40% of the diet and come primarily from fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains. Many individuals select grains to fulfill their recommended carbohydrate consumption. Although grains do contain valuable nutrients, they can be difficult to digest and the nutrients may not be accessible for absorption. Instead of grains, look to vegetables and fruit. Half of every meal and snack should be vegetables or fruit. Avoid refined sugars and refined grains completely.
Fiber has been shown to reduce blood pressure and the need for antihypertensive medications (Houston, 2009). At least 30 grams of fiber should be consumed daily. Most plant foods contain fiber: beans, greens, herbs, and berries are good sources.
Sodium should be limited to that found naturally in whole foods and small amounts of unrefined salt. Salt sensitive individuals should see a reduction in blood pressure with a reduction in sodium consumption. These individuals should slowly reduce their sodium consumption to 1000 mg (Houston, 2009). Avoid white salt. All white salt has be processed even when labeled "sea salt."
Potassium is a diuretic and vasodilator (Bartron, 2008) should be consumed at a 5:1 ratio with sodium. Potassium rich foods include all fruits and vegetables, especially dark leafy greens.
Magnesium is a vasodilator and is usually low in hypertensive individuals (Bartholomy, 2008). A dietary intake of 500 – 1000 mg/day has shown a reduction in blood pressure in epidemiologic, observational, and clinical studies (Houston, 2009). Foods rich in magnesium include green vegetables and herbs, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and nuts.
Calcium is also a vasodilator and should be consumed in a 2:1 ratio with magnesium. Dietary calcium has been shown to be more effective at lowering blood pressure than supplemental calcium. Foods rich in calcium include dairy products as well as green vegetables and herbs.
Vitamins and Supplements
Full spectrum antioxidants will help stop free radical damage. These can be consumed in food and taken as a supplement. Many of the following vitamins and supplements are antioxidants.
Vitamin A and beta-carotene are important for their antioxidant capabilities. Consume 10,000 IUs per day with no more than 2,500 IUs from preformed vitamin A (Sinatra, 2003). Food sources include good quality cod liver oil, liver, and all green and orange fruits and vegetables.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that is also essential for tissue growth and repair, and plays a role in the absorption and utilization of calcium. Studies of supplemental vitamin C have demonstrated a reduction in blood pressure. Vitamin C is sensitive to air, water, and heat so the best food sources are fresh fruits and vegetables, especially bell peppers, strawberries, papaya, and citrus fruits. Supplemental vitamin C should be limited to 500 mg (Sinatra, 2003).
Vitamin E contributes to cardiovascular health is several ways. It is an antioxidant, and anticoagulant, a plaque stabilizer, and a vasodilator. Almonds, sunflower seeds, wheat germ, and wheat germ oil are food sources of vitamin E but fall short of the recommended intake for supporting heart health. A supplement of 200 to 400 IUs per day in the form of mixed tocopherols is recommended (Sinatra, 2003).
Coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ10) not only supports the formation of ATP, which is the energy source for the cells in the body, but it also serves as an antioxidant. The heart consumes a huge amount of energy and therefore large amounts of CoQ10. Although the body can produce CoQ10, this ability declines with age. Dr. Sinatra (2003) recommends 60 to 120 mg of the hydrosoluble form taken in four to eight divided doses over the course of the day. Food sources include sardines, salmon, mackerel, heart, and liver.
L-Carnitine delivers fatty acids to heart cells for energy and removes waste products. It has a synergistic effect with CoQ10. 1000 to 2000 mg are recommended for lowering blood pressure (Sinatra, 2003). Red meat is the best food source of L-carnitine.
L-Arginine is an amino acid that enhances the synthesis of nitric oxide and reduces plaque buildup in vessels (Sinatra, 2003). Six to nine grams of nuts, seafood, eggs, or red meat, will satisfy the need for this nutrient, as will a 1000 mg supplement (Sinatra, 2003).
Hawthorn is an herb whose leaves, berries, and blossoms have antioxidant properties. Additionally, it increases coronary blood flow and decreases blood pressure. A 500 mg capsule can be taken two or three times a day, but check with a physician if antihypertensive medications are being taken (Sinatra, 2003).
Anti-hypertensive foods
Celery contains several components that may help reduce blood pressure: 3-n-butyl phthalide, apigenin, and potassium (Houston, 2009). Four stalks of celery or eight teaspoons of celery juice should be consumed daily to obtain these effects.
Garlic has been shown to reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 20 points when two to three raw cloves of garlic are consumed daily (Bartholomy, 2008).
Seaweed has been shown to significantly reduce blood pressure. In a Japanese study, participants consumed 3.3 g of dried wakame for four weeks and saw significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (Houston, 2009).
Stress management plays an important role in reducing blood pressure. By effectively managing stress, an individual can reduce cortisol production, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, and slow the creation of free radicals. Deep breathing, meditation, yoga, and prayer are some of the ways to reduce stress.
Exercise is necessary to strengthen the heart, reduce excess weight, and can be a stress reliever as well. An exercise routine should include resistance training at least twice a week and 45 minutes of light to moderate aerobic activity at least 4 times a week.
Stop smoking and avoid caffeine. Both raise blood pressure and should be avoided.
Hypertension is most likely a modern condition born from a processed foods/high sugar diet and sedentary/high stress lifestyle. It is unfortunate that the effects of today's world and culture sneak up on us so quietly. Perhaps if the consequences of our actions were more immediately noticeable, we would be more likely to correct them before so much damage has been done.

"On the day of al-Ghadir their Prophet calls to them at Khumm, so listen to the Messenger calling;
He said: Who is your master and your guardian? They said, without displaying blindness there:
Your God is our Master and you are our guardian, and none among us will be disobedient to you concerning the Wilaya.
He said to him: Rise, O `Ali, for I approve of you as Imam and guide after me;
Of whomsoever I am master (mawla), then this is his guardian;
Be to him followers of truth, adhering;
Thereupon he called out: O Allah befriend his friend and to him who opposes `Ali, be at enmity."
It is related that when the Prophet, blessings of Allah on him and his family, heard him reciting these verses he said to him: "O Hassan, you will continue to be supported by the Holy Spirit as long as you help us or defend us with your tongue."
Qays b. Sa`d b. `Ubadah al-Ansari said while reciting verses before `Ali, peace be upon him, in Siffin:
"I said when the enemy wronged us: Sufficient for us is our Lord and the Best Guardian
`Ali is our Imam and the Imam of other than us, through him comes the revelation.
The day the Prophet said: Of whomsoever I am master, then this is his master, a majestic affair
And what the Prophet said to the Ummah is imposed on everything that was said and is said.
Al-Kumayt said:
The day of the branches, the branches of Ghadir Khumm, the mastership (wilaya) was explained to him if he should obey?
But the men agreed to pledge allegiance in it and I did not see a forbidding danger the like of it??
There is an unusual story in connection with these verses which was narrated to us by our Shaykh `Amr b. Safi al-Mawsili, may Allah the Exalted have mercy on him. He said that one of them recited these verses and passed the night reflecting (over them), and he saw `Ali, peace be upon him, in his dream.

Al-Qaida's Continuing Loss Of Leadership
By editor
An American CIA drone over Yemen this week killed Anwar al Awlaki — an al-Qaida figure who was born in New Mexico and initially fashioned himself as a Muslim-American spokesman. Over the years, Awlaki's message grew much more radical. He started using YouTube to inspire new recruits from the West. To understand how al-Qaida copes with the loss if this and other leaders, weekends on All Things Considered guest host Rachel Martin speaks with Michael Leiter, former head of the National Counterterrorism Center, who's been following Awlaki for years.


text: it doesn't. but once you know it you then need the compass to be able to find that direction. In the past I've read up on the area first, noted the prevailing winds for that time of year, then used the compass to set up camp accordingly. This has been important in some areas due to the severe windstorms and duststorms. In addition to setting up the tent to take the least amount of stress I can also try to position the vehicle as a wind block. Or to provide some shade for the coolor and other items.Squirrley wrote:How the heck does a compass help you with figuring out the prevailing wind? The only way I've found is to sit down for a couple minutes and observe the wind direction, and which way the clouds are moving.

2 hospitalized, dozens displaced after Dorchester fire
Posted: 01/13/13 at 6:25 pm Updated: 01/14/13 at 10:27 am
Tags: Dorchester 3 alarm fire
DORCHESTER, Mass. (WHDH) -- Two people were rushed to the hospital after a fire broke out in triple-decker building on Sunday.
People living inside ran out to safety, but there were two people left on the third floor.
"He just kept screaming he couldn't hang on, he couldn't hang on. And he had his little dog with him. His brother is paralyzed from the waist down so his brother couldn't walk so he didn't want to leave his brother up there so they tried to get him down and get the other ladder up from the back with his brother," said a witness.
Fire crews quickly rescued those victims and worked to put out the fire.
Fire officials said the fast-moving fire started in the basement.
"They start in the basement, and they're literally on all three floors in about 10 minutes. It's difficult because we have to work our way from the basement to the first, the second to the third. So we went to three alarms because you need enough man power to get up there and search every floor as quickly as possible," said District Chief Jay Fleming, Boston Fire Dept.
Residents were transported by a bus and the Red Cross is looking for somewhere for them to stay now that their building is badly damaged.
The cause of the fire is unknown and currently under investigation.

Later, in the interview Alba identified one of her e-mail accounts presented by Fitzpatrick.
"Yeah, that's one of my gmails ...Yeah, my personal account," she said during the interview. "But I never set up any funds for anybody."
Pozner's family issued a statement saying, "We are pleased that law enforcement has pursued this matter so diligently. We hope that this dissuades other scammers from trying to take advantage of this horrible tragedy."

The challenges are clearly cut out for MEMSIC, not sure how the Crossbow Technology's product line sales has helped MEMSIC in an accretive way. If more successful companies like InvenSense are facing challenges against Bosch and STM, perhaps it is in the best interest for MEMSIC to take the money on the table!

Dotson Rader
March 29, 2012
Michael J. Fox at 50: 'I Don't Look at Life as a Battle'
Photo by Jake Chessum on location in the Presidential Suite at The Surrey Hotel & Spa in New York City.
Beloved actor and Parkinson's research advocate
Michael J. Fox
, 50, opens up to PARADE's Dotson Rader in this Sunday's issue about his hopes and fears, the family who loves him, and why he's blessed. The lengthy conversation tires him, but his optimism never flags.
Check out this weekend's issue of PARADE for the full interview with Fox.
On dealing with the devastating diagnosis of Parkinson's disease at age 30.
"For a time I dealt with it with alcohol, which turned out to be a disaster. I'd always been kind of a partier, but this was the first time I was drinking in order not to feel something. It had a dark purpose. About a year after my diagnosis, I woke up one morning and saw (wife) Tracy's face. … She said, 'Is this what you want?' Instantly I knew—no, this isn't what I want or who I am. So I quit drinking in '92. I recognized I had choices about drinking, and that made me realize I had choices about Parkinson's as well. I could say, 'I'm powerless over this, but I have things I can do.' I could apply everything I'd learned about getting drinking out of my life to dealing with Parkinson's."
On accepting Parkinson's.
"I don't look at life as a battle or as a fight. I don't think I'm scrappy. I'm accepting. I say 'living with' or 'working through' Parkinson's. Acceptance doesn't mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there's got to be a way through it. I look at it like I'm a fluid that's finding the fissures and cracks and flowing through.
"People ask me, 'Does it bother you when you shake in front of people?' No. It sometimes bothers me when I can't do what I want, but I don't give a damn how it looks."
Michael J. Fox: 'I Know an Answer to Parkinson's Is Findable'
On the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
"We've become the largest private funder of Parkinson's research in the world. We found all these inventive new ways to work. Our grant process is a lot quicker than the government's. We want to get things into clinical trials as fast as possible. We set up an infrastructure to help scientists find a biomarker that can identify Parkinson's before symptoms are present and track the progress of the disease in a way that's never been charted. We're doing research into drugs.
"I talk a lot to patients who've just been diagnosed. They say, 'If people only knew, they'd [care more].' I say, 'You can't count on that. Pity is a benign form of abuse. You have to care about yourself and get other people involved.'
On why his wife of 23 years, actress Tracy Pollan, stays with him.
"It's hard to explain why this amazing woman would want to stay. People say, 'Tracy's a rock.' She always laughs at that and says, 'I'm not a rock.' And she's not. She's a living, reactive person. We've been very blessed and haven't had a lot of big challenges other than Parkinson's. Tracy knows she can count on me when there are issues we face. We still love each other and make each other laugh, which is probably the most important thing. She still thinks I'm smart and funny and sexy."
On his role on
The Good Wife
where he plays against type and highlights his Parkinson's symptoms.
"It's been a great opportunity to use different tools than I've used before. People think my character, Louis Canning, is a bad guy. I play him like he doesn't see the problem. I mean, in his own way, his motive is pure. He wants to win the case, collect his money, and go home to his family. So if he finds an expedient way to do that, he doesn't see it as being controversial or unethical. He hasn't confused ethics with morals."
On finding happiness.
"I want to be clear: When my kids leave a big mess after their friends come over, with popcorn boxes, wrappers, and spilled drinks all over the living room, I get pissed off. I'm not Superman. But as a kid who was short, I've always thought, 'If being short is my biggest problem, then life is a bowl of cherries.' I still feel that way now, no matter what I face. I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That's what happiness is."

Lawdragon has released its seventh annual guide to the nation's leading lawyers - the most elite distinction in the legal profession. This most recent 500 recognizes those lawyers who won the biggest verdicts and did the biggest deals last year.
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 10, 2013
The legal affairs news and information company Lawdragon.com has released its annual guide to the nation's lawyers of the year - The 2012 Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers in America. This is the seventh edition of Lawdragon's critically acclaimed guide to the nation's most elite group of lawyers. The guide will be presented with other legal news features in Lawdragon's annual Magazine to be released later this year.
As in the past years, the 500 is drawn from all regions and practice areas of the American legal profession, including private attorneys, government and other public interest attorneys, judges and law school professors. New York City boasts the most lawyers on the guide, with powerhouse Skadden Arps having the most from any individual firm with 26 members. This year saw an increase in the number of Washington, DC, attorneys associated with the Obama Administration, led by the likes of Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, his principal deputy, Sri Srinivasan, and Richard Cordray, head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others.
The guide also has the greatest number of women lawyers to ever make the 500, with 112. Among the prominent members are the three female Supreme Court justices; the chairpersons of six national law firms; and the general counsel of Clorox, Estee Lauder, Pfizer, Bristol Myers Squibb, McDonald's and the New York Public Library.
The Lawdragon 500 guide is selected from a combination of submissions from law firms; an online form that allows any visitor to Lawdragon.com to nominate attorneys; and Lawdragon's own editorial research. The research by Lawdragon staff is always the most important factor; many firms that do not provide submissions have attorneys that make the guide.
About Lawdragon:
Lawdragon is a fast-growing new media company that offers a unique platform for lawyers to reach consumers. In addition to attorney guides such as the Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers in America, the website provides free legal news and features as well as a searchable database of legal professionals that includes online profiles of attorneys and firms. Attorneys can add their professional listing for free and upgrade to a premium profile to better showcase their practices. Visitors can view these listings for free when searching for lawyers, and they can also choose to fill out evaluations of listed professionals.

Highlights: Kentucky (Louisville)
Imagine... The wind is still, the sun is shining and the subtle scent of mint perfume is the air... Welcome the legendary Kentucky Derby. The hypnotic drawl and extravagant hats of the Southern aristocracy lulls one into a dreamlike trance, until suddenly the spell is broken as 20 of the fastest horses in the world burst out of the gates. A mighty roar erupts from the crowd as 80 hoofs carrying up to a half-ton of thoroughbred muscle pound around a 1 ¼ mile dirt track over the space of roughly 90 seconds in pursuit of the single most coveted trophy in horse racing. Join us at Churchill Downs for the most electric two minutes in sport as you experience the Kentucky Derby from your 1st Floor Grandstand Seats. See the sweat glistening on the shoulders of thoroughbred giants, sip mint juleps in the prestigious clubhouse and attend the hottest celebrity-filled parties in town. Where you sit at the track is paramount to your experience of the race. First, second and third floor grandstand seats are available - with the higher floors having the better vantage point of the race. As well, the closer to the finish line you are, the better you can see with your own eyes the winning stallion ride into victory. Speak to your destination expert to customise your experience of the Derby - upgrade your tickets to the Clubhouse or one of the themed suites, switch your hotel or add shared touring of a local horse farm or bourbon distillery.
Feel - Soak in the sensational thrill of the epic finish of "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" and the Triumph of victory! Feel the ground shake beneath you from the roar of the crowd and the thunderous stampede of the dash to the finish line!
Hear - From the resonating sounds of the trumpet's call to post, the echo of the announcer clocking each weighty hoof beat, the clink of Mint Julep glasses, the roar of the crowd as the pack rounds the turn for home, and the regal marching band championing the famed "My Old Kentucky Home;" the entire auditory experience is exhilarating in itself!
See - Marvel at the majesty and grandeur of the Twin Spires®, the pageantry and artistry of fashion, spot star-studded celebrities, and scope the bright silks of the jockeys and their regal thoroughbreds!
The Hampton Inn Louisville East hotel is located near both Churchill Downs® and the Muhammed Ali Center. Explore the local history by taking a ride on a riverboat, visiting a glass-making factory, or having dinner in one of the 2,500 restaurants in town. The Hampton Inn Louisville East hotel features 77 beautifully appointed guestrooms, a business center, exercise room and indoor pool. The property also offers guests a complimentary beverage and breakfast area as well as an on -site convenience store for anything you may have forgotten at home. Hampton Inn and Suites Louisville-East is located minutes from Louisville's most famous attractions including Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby. Start your day right with Hampton's free hot breakfast. After an exciting day, retire to a comfy guest room and unwind on a clean and fresh Hampton bed®, re-energize in the fitness center or relax in the pool.
Upon your arrival to the track you will receive an exclusive package with your Grandstand Green tickets, access to the In-track Hospitality, VIP Fast Access Pass, and an Offical Kentucky Derby® 139 Gift Bag.
Head to the track with ease with this shared transfer from your hotel to Chuchill Downs. Derby Experiences Trip Directors are onsite and assigned to each hotel to make sure guests know where they are going throughout the day.
A close view of the track, across from the eight pole, boasts a ground level view of the starting line and final stretch. Your experience continues with access to an in-track Hospitality venue featuring a complimentary Derby fare lunch, snacks for purchase, a cash-basis bar, a meet & greet with a celebrity jockey on Derby day, an Official gift bag, transportation, VIP entrances and more!
The Kentucky Oaks event is as old as the "Run for the Roses" but features fillies and lilies and lots of things women love. The Kentucky Oaks is famous for Grade I stakes race for three-year-old Thoroughbred fillies staged annually in Louisville. Known as the "Lilies for the Fillies", the winner receives a large garland of lilies and silver Kentucky Oaks Trophy. With a chilled mint julep in your hand, you will bask in the unforgettable atmosphere with beautiful ladies wearing fancy hats juxaposed by horses charging towards their stake to victory.
Tonight we recommend drinks and dinner at Maker's Mark Bourbon House & Lounge, which fuses a swanky environment with an innovative menu in a non-intimidating way. Taking cues from the hipster handbook, the lounge capitalizes on slick minimalism with its use of blond and dark-wood fixtures, flat-screen TV's, a double-decker fireplace, sleek red-tiled pillars, and a back-lit bar that pays homage to all of Kentucky's bourbons. The menu demonstrates a strong Asian influence paired with local ingredients, and dishes range from Black-skillet-seared scallops to "naked" lobster ravioli and grilled double-cut New Zealand lamb chops paired with a basil-mint pesto and polenta cake.
This exclusive Kentucky Derby® experience is inclusive of an in-track hospitality venue. This venue provides an opportunity to meet and greet with some celebrity past and present jockey's. A Cash Bar is available between 8AM and 6PM, married along with Lunch featuring Derby Fares and snacks for purchase from 11AM to 4PM. Private self-service Wagering Stations and simulcast TV coverage is also made available in this venue.
We will arrive early to allow for plenty of time to enjoy the parade of hats on display. From the fantastic to the sublime the quirky to the extravagant, there are no rules or limits. The more refined and elegant ladies sport classy, fashionable styles in the clubhouse and paddock, while the eccentric and downright outrageous headgear is reserved for the infield.

The Kentucky Derby is a Grade I stakes race for three-year-old Thoroughbred horses, held annually in Louisville, Kentucky, United States on the first Saturday in May, capping the two-week-long Kentucky Derby Festival.
The race is one and a quarter mile (2 km) at Churchill Downs. Colts and geldings carry 126 pounds (57.2 kg) and fillies 121 pounds (54.9 kg). The race is known in the United States as "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" or "The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports" for its approximate duration, and is also called "The Run for the Roses" for the blanket of roses draped over the winner. It is the first leg of the United States Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing and is followed by the Preakness Stakes then the Belmont Stakes. The horse must win all three to win the Triple Crown. The attendance at the Kentucky Derby ranks first in North America and usually surpasses the attendance of all other stakes races including the Preakness Stakes, Belmont Stakes and the Breeders' Cup
The Kentucky Derby is one of the USA's oldest Thoroughbred horse races (the Phoenix Stakes being the oldest, first run in 1831). From the time the region was settled, the fields of the Bluegrass region were noted for producing superior racehorses. In 1872, Col. Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr., grandson of William Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedition, traveled to England, visiting the Epsom Derby, a famous race that had been running annually since 1780. From there, Clark went on to Paris, France, where in 1863, a group of racing enthusiasts had formed the French Jockey Club and had organized the Grand Prix de Paris, which at the time was the greatest race in France.
In addition to the race itself, a number of traditions play a large role in the Derby atmosphere. The Mint Julep, an iced drink consisting of bourbon, mint and sugar syrup is the traditional beverage of the race. The historic drink can be served in an ice-frosted silver julep cup but most Churchill Downs patrons sip theirs from souvenir glasses (first offered in 1939 and available in revised form each year since) printed with all previous Derby winners. Also, burgoo, a thick stew of beef, chicken, pork and vegetables, is a popular Kentucky dish served at the Derby.
The Kentucky Oaks is a Grade I stakes race for three-year-old Thoroughbred fillies staged annually in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. The race currently covers 1? miles (1811 m) at Churchill Downs; the horses carry 121 pounds (54.9 kg). The Kentucky Oaks is held on the Friday before the Kentucky Derby each year. The winner gets a $500,000 purse and a large garland of lilies, affectionately called the "Lillies for the Fillies." A silver Kentucky Oaks Trophy is presented to the winner.
The Kentucky Oaks is considered by some to be among the most popular horse races in American horse-racing society due to its high attendance. It attracts about 100,000 people in attendance a year since 2001's 127th running of the Kentucky Oaks.[3] In 1980 it was about 50,000 people and by 1989, it had reached about 67,000 people.[1] The attendance at the Kentucky Oaks ranks third in the continent and usually surpasses the attendance of all other stakes races including the Belmont Stakes and the Breeders' Cup. The attendance of the Kentucky Oaks typically only trails the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, for more information see American Thoroughbred Racing top Attended Events.
In local culture despite the increasing number of out-of-state visitors who came to the race every year, the "Oaks" (as local residents simply refer to it) has always been considered to be a local event by the people of Kentuckiana (the Ohio Valley, centered around Louisville, and consisting of much of northern Kentucky and southern Indiana). Large crowds of Louisvillians and others from the Kentuckiana attend the Oaks annually and the infield of the race track hosts numerous musical attractions, boardwalk games, and food and alcoholic beverage vendors. Bringing in one's own alcohol is forbidden at Churchill Downs and many locals revel in finding ingenious ways to smuggle in their own libations, rather than pay the inflated prices inside Churchill Downs. Most every school and quite a few businesses in the Kentuckiana region treat the Oaks as a holiday. Perhaps out of self-consciousness for the gambling aspect of the race, none of the region's schools declare that the holiday is explicitly because of the Oaks and most simply say it is an "administrative holiday."
Louisville Clock (often called the Louisville Derby Clock)
The infield, a spectator area inside the track, offers general admission prices but little chance of seeing much of the race. Instead, revelers show up in the infield to party with abandon. By contrast, "Millionaire's Row" refers to the expensive box seats that attract the rich, the famous and the well-connected. Women appear in fine outfits lavishly accessorized with large, elaborate hats. As the horses are paraded before the grandstands, the University of Louisville Marching Band plays Stephen Foster's "My Old Kentucky Home".

Fig and Blue Cheese Savouries
Author Notes: If you are like me, you always offer to bring something when invited to someone's house. I mean the offer, I always love an opportunity to cook for people, but sometimes it's hard to come up with a quick idea on the fly. And when it's one of those roaming parties – not a seated affair – choosing a dish that doesn't have to be kept hot or cold or require and special equipment adds to the challenge. I tend to fall back on the same recipes, but I recently wanted to add one to my repertoire – after all, it gets to be the same people at parties, right? These little Fig and Blue Cheese bites are easy but very elegant, and the surprising tart and tangy with sweet combination is a real treat. - TheRunawaySpoon
- TheRunawaySpoon
Food52 Review: These delicate, crumbly little thumbprints are the perfect combination of sweet and savory, as their names suggests -- they're like a great cheese plate all wrapped into one crunchy little morsel. TheRunawaySpoon's simple food processor dough yields tender, buttery coins flecked with blue cheese and black pepper. A good quality fig jam is crucial here; if you can't find it, quince or pear jam would also work well. - A&M - A&M
Makes about 3 dozen
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- Ground black pepper
- Fig preserves, about 3 Tablespoons
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the flour, butter, blue cheese and a few grinds of black pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the dough just comes together and starts to form a ball.
- Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to pull the dough together. Roll out to 1/8 inch thick with a floured rolling pin. Cut rounds out of the dough with a floured 1-inch cutter and transfer the rounds to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Using the back or a round half-teaspoon measure or your knuckle, make an indentation in the top of each dough round. Spoon about ¼ teaspoon of fig preserves into each indentation, using your finger to push the preserves as best as possible into the indentations.
- Bake the savories for 10 – 14 minutes, until the preserves are bubbling and the pastry is light golden on the bottom.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes, the remove to a wire rack to cool.
- You'll find fig preserves at the grocery – it may be shelved with the "fancy" jams and jellies. You can make these a day ahead and keep them in two layers separated by waxed paper in an airtight container.

Just made these with chevre (not a huge fan of blue cheese) and some jalapeno chutney I found at the market, since fig preserves were nowhere to be found. It worked wonderfully -- so easy and SO delicious!

My hubby is the baker in the family and his first pass at these was yesterday. His outcome looked just like the photos here and the flavor was delicious. Perfect little "popper" size too. He shares that he needed to use about 1/4 cup more flour than the recipe specified to get to the right consistency but points out that can often happen in baking given moisture content in air and flour can impact flour amounts as measure. As might how moist is the blue cheese selected for this recipe as there are all kinds of moisture levels in those. He's going to play with this again make a flour weight note, since he uses weight measures when baking, on his file copy of this recipe because it is definitely a "keeper"!

I love the idea of this recipe, but am not a huge blue cheese or gorganzola fan. Would this dough work with goat cheese?
2 months ago Sanibelle
I have made tham with blue and/or gorganzola cheese and both worked. I tried a Martha Stewart recipe with pecans, and it was not as good. I have used fig jam but like them best with a mango habanero jam from a local source. Next time I will use a hot pepper jam. I also make them as slice and bake and will freeze some of my latest batch. Everyone loves them and this is the best recipe out there.

Oh yes. Easy, perfect little nibbles. Made them for a building holiday party. The first thing to go. Saved some dough for later. I foresee fabulous Super Bowl snacks. Or they might only make it to the next Downton Abbey...great recipe!
5 months ago Kate's Kitchen
I used Maytag Blue and it worked well - I also added a dash or two of hot sauce,just because. They are delicate so handle with care. In addition to fig preserves I also used quince paste which was very good and held it's shape while the fig preserves tended to spread out a bit.

These were just FANTASTIC! I made them with gluten-free flour, so the dough was a bit sticky to work with, but I absolutely loved the results. So glad you shared your beautiful recipe!

Loved these but they were so crumbly that many broke. Wondering what I did wrong?
5 months ago Principalma
I have made these for 3 parties this holiday season and they were a hit each time. I garnished them with some crumbled bleu cheese so they would not be misunderstood on the buffet table. My husband thought they could not be better until he had ine with a little bleu cheese on top. Delicious

I made these as an appetizer for our monthly dinner club, along with CozyDelicious' Orange Blossom Candied Cranberries. They were fantastic, everyone raved about them, and none came home. The proof as they say, is in the tasting.
6 months ago WhiskItGood
I'm always looking for fast and easy appetizer recipes. I made these for a medium-size event of 50 folks last Saturday - I was so impressed with this recipe. Super easy, and I was able to make about 150 of these guys in about an hour (recipe above x 3). The dough comes together perfectly in the food processor. I also grabbed some dried figs and thinly cut slices out of them, pressing the slices on top of the fig preserves. Super cute. And again, sooo easy. Will definitely add this to our catering menus.

When needing to have a non-interference in the kitchen appetizer for Thanksgiving I thought I would give these a try. Dough comes together in a snap. Super simple! I too used the plastic wrap in the fridge method, doing this step the day before. I would recommend, however, if you have them in the fridge that long, let the slices sit a bit before putting them in the oven, not necessary but think it might crisp them up a bit faster. I used my finger to create the well for the jam. I also used more jam then indicated.
For the record, these are AMAZING! The crispier the better, it caramelizes the fig jam a bit. I had to give the left overs away because I could not stop eating them.
I served these with a Martha Stewart Pickled Shrimp recipe. Also keep me out of the chaotic Thanksgiving kitchen. To the recipe I added slices of fennel - yum. The thing that's good about this recipe is that it's low fat and good for you, which combats all the Fig and Blue Cheese Savories you will not want to stop eating.

Made them for the first time tonight.. delicious! can't wait to serve them tomorrow.
7 months ago dancerslikefood
This is my go to appetizer for a get-together, especially when I have virtually no time to prepare said appetizer. It's fast, easy, and consistently tasty. Even those who dislike blue cheese find this a delicious start to a meal. I often do not like to repeat recipes, just because there is so much to try, but this is one that merits multiple appearances. Thanks!
8 months ago magdance
The first time I made these yummy crackers I used room-temperature cheese and cold butter and rubbed them in by hand, like for piecrust before the food processor, and they were marvelously flaky. The second time I tried it with both cold ingredients, also rubbing them in. It worked, but the finished product was way too friable, tending to fall apart. Next time I think I'll mix in soft cheese with a spoon, then rub in hard butter. Also I found 1/4 inch better than 1/8 for thickness, and the small size recommended, 1 inch rounds, much the best.
10 months ago Kimblay
These were excellent. I served these as an appetizer for a party and they were gone in no time. Even people that didn't like blue cheese enjoyed them. I would recommend refrigerating the dough before rolling it out as this helps prevent it from becoming too sticky.
10 months ago mainesoul
These disappeared in a flash! So good. So easy. I made a log out of the dough,wrapped it in plastic and put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. I sliced them. This was much easier than rolling out the dough.
10 months ago Sigita
wow - these are one of my favorites and I hated rolling out the dough! Thanks for the brilliant idea about making a log ....everyone loves them.

Drum roll. I am bringing them next door. They will be the first of many dishes. The Maine course - lobster. I will update you.

I made these tonight, and they were easy and delicious! I filled half with apricot jam & half with cherry jam.

AntoniaJames is a trusted source on Bread/Baking.
I made these yet again, for our Tournament of Roses festivities . . . ran out of fig preserves, so I used some of Bevi's outstanding Caramelized Apple Jam in about a third of the batch, and some pear-apple Mostarda Mantovana (recipe by Maria Teresa Jorge) in the rest. Perfect party food! ;o)

Thought We Had Avoided that Fiscal Cliff?
Well, not so fast, apparently Washington is back on that same path and hasn't yet figured out how to avoid that stretch of road.
It seems that just last month the country was on the brink of doom and disaster — facing a fiscal cliff of epic proportions. Oh wait, that was just last month. On the eve of disaster, the problem was averted by a last-minute deal that resulted in almost everybody's taxes going up. According to The Huffington Post, Washington hasn't yet figured how to get off that path and we're back on the road again, approaching that pesky fiscal cliff. Dubbing it an austeroid, a play on words relating to an austerity asteroid, The Huffington Post points out that the country is about to be hit with the "sequester" on March 1, which could cut another 0.6 percent from growth. That on top of the 1.5 hit that The Huffington Post laid at the feet of the first …

1964 Mercury Comet With Half a Million Miles is Retired—What Next?
By Rory Carroll
By now you've probably heard about Rachel Veitch's 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente. She purchased the car new and has cared for it meticulously since.
As of last week, the odometer tallied more than 576,000 miles. The 93-year old Veitch appeared on the Tonight Show in 2010 to introduce Jay Leno to her "chariot."
Veitch recently announced that she will retire the car because of her failing eyesight. She will not leave the car to her children or grandchildren for fear that they will not care for it properly.
From the few pictures that we've seen, the Comet still looks great and it's obviously a runner. There has been talk of finding a home for it in a museum, but shouldn't such a car be kept on the road?
Today is National Cherish an Antique Day, and we'd like to know how you would cherish this very special antique. Would it spend its days in a museum or head back out on the highway to rack up more miles? Leave us your answer in the Comments below.
Be warned—any mention of entering the car in a demolition derby or turning it into a donk will result in the immediate revocation of commenting privileges.

I agree with Someone, and in fact that's where I thought this story was going.
And TXMX, I'd take it if it was offered to me. Sure, it's not a '57 Bel Air or a '66 GTO, but it's still a classic and to me, pretty much any old car that is a survivor like that one is "cool". Yeah, you won't have little kids and women gawking at it, but car guys will be super impressed when they realize it's original condition with that mileage. And no, I wouldn't use it as a daily driver, but for an occasional car show or weekend toy, it'd be fun.
Also, a Comet has quite a few parts in common with the same year Mustang, (the Stang was actually based on the Falcon/Comet platform) so most mechanical parts will be readily available, and MUCH cheaper, than you'd think. For things other than body and interior, I'd be willing to bet you'd spend much more on parts for say a new Camry or Accord. And since that Comet is most likely sporting a small straight 6 and a 1 barrel carb, it's probably more fuel efficient than you'd imagine. But really, with a non-daily driven classic, who cares about fuel effiency??
In the world of sought after collectibles this vehicle ranks pretty much nowhere. However when the seemingly mundane and ordinary survives longer than all the other simliar types, it becomes special just by surviving and being a bit of a time capsule to those that are into that sort of thing. Slightly cool but not paricularly valuable. Drive it and enjoy it for what it is, a slice of life and times past.
PS, if Leno took possesion he would probably stuff a new GT500 engine in it.
I need to put on a flame proof suit for this, but I don't think there is anything special about a '64 Comet. An older car like that will require special attention (i.e. expensive), parts are increasingly difficult to find, and it's not very fuel efficient. I love older cars, but there are some that just aren't all that special.
The cars that celebrities choose to buy sometimes border on the eccentric.
Cars are cool, and here at MSN Autos we love everything about them, but we also know they're more than simply speed and style: a car is an essential tool, a much-needed accessory to help you get through your day-to-day life.

What tricks would people like to learn?
Well after a request for an 'ible on basic bike tricks as a follow up to this cycling 'ible I'm wondering what tricks people would like to know about so far the list is:
Pulling a wheelie
Stoppies/endos (stopping or moving with the back wheel in the air)
Sliding in a reasonable manner (as in tailslides)
I'd like any other suggestions, the 'ible will include all requested tricks that I can do, heck got any for me to learn? Just throw them at me.
If I can I'll add stalls and stuff to this but considering where I live finding a good place to do so is hard (it's still a building site for the most part...)
EDIT: The instructable is now up

what about some massive moto- style whips off jumps at the park? tabletops would be nice too, and not the actual jump, rather, the trick. oh yeah, and manualing forever'd be pretty awesome just as well. as for what I know, I've completely mastered trackstanding, I can bust out a wheelie from time to time, bunnyhopping isn't as high as I'd like though I can do it, x-ups are a bit sloppy, as are my flatland tailwhips on bmx. and if you haven't guessed, I ride absolutely everything.
Jun 27, 2008. 2:41 AMReply
I was thinking about another 'ible soon, I missed otu a bunch of stuff like high speed manoeuvres, hell missed no hands, need to continue to proper jumps, and the stuff around them...
Dec 12, 2008. 7:13 PMReply
No hands would be cool. Friends are allways asking me how to ride no hands, and all I can tell them is to practice heaps. Some more instructions would be helpful.
Dec 12, 2008. 7:28 PMReply
I get round to no hands, it's a bit difficult to get pictures for... I do fear dropping my camera on the bike, however I'll get around to it... Maybe do a little video while I'm on the bike...
Jun 17, 2008. 10:28 AMReply
I know how to do that... I did one time go through the wall of an anti flood ditch in the forest, they make these big wall-mounds of dirt to help lower flooding in one of the forests, I jumped off one and hit the other at a bad angle, straight through it....
Jun 17, 2008. 10:48 AMReply
I overshot the jump from a lump beforehand, that meant I landed in the ditch wall and went through... It's not hard to go through a normal ditch without jumping though...
Jun 2, 2008. 8:20 PMReply
YAY!!! I just got a new bike. Just thought that I should throw that out there. P.S. It's AMAZING.
Jun 4, 2008. 2:45 PMReply
Oh right, I thought you'd just missed it at first, nice one getting a new bike...
Jun 17, 2008. 6:52 AMReply
Ah well there's always hope... kepp angling, parents eventually get tired of hearing I want a bike...
May 2, 2008. 10:40 PMReply
My friend does this one where he does a stoppie then kicks up and back like a reverse bunnyhop its really cool but I dont understand how he gets it up.
May 3, 2008. 12:55 AMReply
I don't know what you mean, like he does a stoppie then jumps in the air? Or doe he come back down and jump up like a bunnyhop?
May 4, 2008. 1:33 PMReply
Maybe, not sure If I can do it, not sure if I can do it without snapping my forks either...
May 5, 2008. 7:18 PMReply
Well he just has a little 20" bmx bike so yours should be fine. If you can do a stoppie your bike should hold up for this.
May 4, 2008. 1:55 PMReply
horse - hop, front wheel off ground, then back, then land on both wheels or just back wheel
May 4, 2008. 11:56 AMReply
Trackstands. It'd seem like I'd be able to think of more things, but sadly, that's all I've got.
May 4, 2008. 1:32 PMReply
Eh I'll have to practice them, I can do them for a bit but I don't use them that much, mainly because of my knees...
May 3, 2008. 1:51 AMReply
well yes, :) but I always thought bunny hopping was only with the front wheel, but apparently it can be done so you're totally off the ground... I don't see how it's done though (without clip-less pedals/shoes) =P
May 2, 2008. 4:41 PMReply
I see any suggestions towards this, till minideathcam is complete that isn't happening...
May 2, 2008. 4:45 PMReply
Aww. You could promote instructables too (by wearing an instructables robot T)
May 2, 2008. 4:53 PMReply
Obviously, I can't find a vid of the course though, when I get the cam working you'll see just what I can do on that bike, lol a turned changed in my favourite forest to cycle, I jumped over the river...
