Hello, I am looking for information on which herbs to avoid in case of high blood pressure.
I find contradictoy data e.g. ginseng can be good or bad. Is there any place that has a compiled list of herbs to avoid?. Thanks |

Number one herb to avoid if you suffer from high blood pressure is Liquorice. Rosemary and Motherwort are 2 herbs which may raise blood pressure (both are used to treat low blood pressure). The reason you get conflicting information about ginseng (and other herbs) is that it is used to REGULATE blood pressure. If you suffer from high BP, it may help to lower it - if you suffer from low BP, it may help to raise it. In other words, it normalises BP. Other herbs which do the same thing include Hawthorn and Hyssop, Garlic, Parsley, Yarrow, Passionflower, Chamomile, Tomatoes, Scullcap, Wood Betony, Evening Primrose, Chervil, Ginger. If you suffer from high BP, you could try taking Vitamin E and zinc supplements. But since BP problems (high or low) are potentially very serious, you would of course consult your doctor before starting on any herbal or supplement regime. |
Thanks Daisyduckworth I was taking rosemary without knowing it is of care. Tomatoes? Never heard that. Can ginger elevate BP, I mean if you already have it high, is it more posible that it elevates or lower it?. I know you say it can balance but I do not want to risk. Thanks |
Ganoderma lucidum was reported to normalize blood pressure in some of the reference books in my library. I usually have blood pressure in the normal range. but after a long plane trip my blood pressure was higher than I like. The readings I got at home with my auto meter were 138 over 90. So I decided to try it out and see if it did anything. One morning I started with a reading in both arms. Then I took a hot cup of very low caffeine coffee and added 8 capsules of a ganoderma herb powdered and waited for them to mix. I drank the coffee. After finishing the coffee, I waited 20 minutes. The reading then was 138 over 80. So the diastolic number went down. Of course, this is not a published peer-reviewed study, nor was it repeated. It does show that on one occasion the herb produced a beneficial effect. That is interesting to me. I decided to take a regular amount of the Ganoderma. I will make appropriate comments in the future if I find that I see long-term results are favorable. Richard |
As the question was which herbs to avoid in case of high blood pressure, reishi mushroom preparations (which may contain ganoderma) might be contraindicated if one was already on an anti-hypertensive drug. Its known side effects include nosebleeds and upset stomach. As to whether it lowers blood pressure, the main clinical evidence cited in its support is a 20-year-old Japanese study for which I haven't been able to find details online. BTW, t's pretty common for blood pressure readings to vary slightly, and it wouldn't be unusual for the diastolic number to drop a bit, especially after one relaxes with a hot drink. Similarly, if you're anxious about something (like a visit to a doctor's office) the initial BP reading can be high, but drop markedly later when you've had a chance to settle down. |
As I said, I had taken Ganoderma lucidum powdered herb, not a combination product. Just ground up biomass. No additional ingredients. Not an extract. Would not it be important for a person to avoid any herb known to push down high blood pressure if one were taking a anti-hypertensive drug? Not just Ganoderma lucidum? My first library reference is as follows: Hong-yen Hsu, et. al. Oriental Materia Medica, Keats Publishing New Canaan Connecticut. ©1986 Historically he notes that it is classed as a superior herb in Shen Nung Pen Tsao Ching. This designation meant that a person could safely use it for a long time in a range of dosages. In his pharmacology remarks he says this, Another book from Kee Chang Huang "The Phamacology of Chinese Herbs, second edition", CRC Press Boca Raton Florida ©1999 does not identify hypotensive action, but does make specific remarks about the heart. "It increases myocardial contractility and systolic volume and can improve cardiac function and reduce oxygen consumption." Neither book makes any reference to the "known side effects" that you mention. Perhaps you could provide your citations, unless you became confused about which herb I was mentioning. Is your source knowledgable of Chinese herbs? The age of a citation does not, on its face, discredit it. Twenty years ago for a citation about an herb in use for at least 2000 years is not significantly old to me. Of course, if several studies since that time are contrary, then I could see why a person might object. Right now I am trying to understand the role of upregulation of c-Jun N-terminal Kinase and drug resistance. And I find a variety of opinions presented in the literature. So I will wait for more studies. I am sure that your remarks about anxiety and blood pressure are correct. I did the test on myself at home upon arising. I did not feel stressed to begin with, but it is possible that the hot drink and being upright had some effect. I could test that if I cared to. I have understood that taking the blood pressure in the morning after resting all night is a better indicator of condition than taking it late afternoon. Is this correct in your opinion? Also, is a variation in diastolic numbers of 10 points (from 90 to 80) insignificant? Richard |
Hi John, I hope you are still following this thread. During the check up, be sure they do a thyroid blood test, as both hyper and hypo thyroid, cause altered metabolism and high blood pressure. What you and I must avoid is a heart attack or stroke. If I have a stroke, I will be forced to watch my garden go to rack and ruin. :-( As it is now, I am as in control as possible, but I must be careful with all garden tasks, and take much longer to complete projects that in the past. IF I had gone in, and been diagnosed correctly years back, the solution would have been simple, and I could be running at normal speed. Not being able to ever again hike up a steep hill and enjoy the wildflowers is one of my biggest regrets. With no diagnosis... and not knowing your current thyroid status, I will strongly advise against adding any so called safe supplements... the wrong guess and "bad to much worse" is the story. We get new people all the time being diagnosed either hyper or hypo... all because they added the wrong vitamins and herbs, thinking it was harmless and so basic and simple... it wouldn't hurt them. And I have to tell all of you... as a long term support person elsewhere... I am tired of picking up the damaged patients. Let's always insist on a diagnosis before a cure is prescribed. Don't take me wrong. I am a huge supporter of alternative healing, and my use of supplements and herbals was a HUGE part of my own "rare" success/ remission. But ya gotta' be aware of all the possible problems before hand. Be smart and careful. AFTER you have a diagnosis, THEN self education and a good, experienced NP will be of great value. We need to enjoy our golden years . Plus... have the opportunity to finally enjoy those tiny little plants we started, the ones that had to grow for years and years to be magnificent. ;) I'm starting to see this... and can not even start to tell you the joy ! Take care of yourself, so we can all enjoy your garden. |
The ganoderma link contains a lot of vague and unsupported statements like "vitalizing the heart" and "stabilizing the metabolic activities", but comes up short on actual evidence that it does anything useful in treating disease (other than folklore). There are a variety of bioactive compounds in ganoderma, some of which are being investigated for possible medicinal use (including potential antihypertensive treatment), but there don't seem to be solid findings yet supporting its consumption. Until there are, ganoderma is just one of a large number of heavily hyped "magic foods", to be taken (figuratively) with a grain of salt. :) |

After having high blood pressure for several years, I've learned (for myself if not others) that anything that makes you retain water is going to raise your bp. And herbs, supplements, etc that act as diuretics will lower it. There again, you would want to check with dr if in doubt. |
This is an interesting discussion. I would like to see more mention of herbal dosing and frequency of use. For example, one need not go to extremes for managing hypertension by avoiding occasional foods spiced with rosemary and ginger. Swallowing capsules of herbs is much higher dosing compared to flavoring your food with these spices. I have noticed over the years that my hypertension has improved by reducing my consumption of simple carbohydrates and increasing my fiber intake with leafy greens. I use lots of herbs and spices with all of my cooking. Thankfully, I now have a job with a lower stress level as well. |

Legalize Marijuana!
There is no proof that marijuana has killed or harmed anyone, and should no longer be prohibited! Marijuana is a proven source of energy. With the U.S. in need of new energy, It will be good. Marijuana has a cash value! More Marijuana means more money! marijuana should no longer be prohibited! Marijuana is not a lethal drug and is safer than alcohol. It is established scientific fact that marijuana is not toxic to humans; marijuana overdoses are nearly impossible, and marijuana is not nearly as addictive as alcohol or tobacco. It is unfair and unjust to treat marijuana users more harshly under the law than the users of alcohol or tobacco.

NAEP Reading Results for the States: Picture for Children of Color Has Dimmed
NAEP Reading Results for the States: Picture for Children of Color has Dimmed
(Washington, D.C.) The achievement gap between African American and White students grew in 16 states between 1992 and 1998. The gap between Hispanic and White students grew in 9 states over the same period of time. This according to the state-by-state reading scores of 4th graders on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), released today by the U.S. Department of Education.
Only 6 states made progress in narrowing the gap between White and African American students and just 3 states made progress narrowing the gap between White and Hispanic students.
"These achievement gaps are both unnecessary and dangerous," said Kati Haycock, director of The Education Trust. "The gaps are unnecessary because we know how to close them and we did, as a nation, make progress in closing them during the 1970's and 80's. The gaps are dangerous, because we can ill afford the costs - human, economic, and civic - associated with failing to provide all of our students with the skills and knowledge that they, and our country, need to thrive in the new century."
"Some states - Delaware, California, Connecticut and Virginia, for example - are proving that these gaps can be narrowed. These states are not using magic to narrow the gap. It takes hard work, political will and common sense," said Haycock.
According to Haycock, a four part "common-sense agenda" could close the gap and improve achievement for all students:
- All schools should be held publicly accountable for high achievement for all students.
- All students should be held to a high standard of performance.
- All students should be enrolled in a rigorous curriculum.
- All students need teachers who know their subjects and how to teach them.

How Guys Shop for Valentine's Day
I've always wondered how guys prepare for Valentine's Day, perhaps the girliest holiday on our calendar. So I went to Alexis Isadora of Brooklyn Fox Lingerie to see how men shop at her fabulous store. As I imagined, they wait until the last minute, standing outside lingerie stores in the bitter cold praying that something is still available for their lady friends.
"At Brooklyn Fox Lingerie, we feel every day is a day worthy of wearing a lacy number with seamed stockings. Not everyone shares our sentiments, though—and that's why Valentine's Day is so much fun for us! We get to dress women in sexy numbers that they otherwise think they need an excuse to wear. Most women who come in have a specific vision in mind—that piece of eye candy they've been staring at the past two times they've come in (to buy a basic t-shirt bra) but never dared to try on. As for our more daring customers who do already dress to the nines under their daily outfits? They ask us to find something for them that will really push the envelope. This is where we really have some fun!
Then there are the men. They are lined up outside in the cold ON Valentine's Day in a sweat, waiting for us to open. Some come a few days before, but most really wait until the very last minute. The fun ones are the men who have literally no idea what they want or how bras are sized—"There's a number and a letter?" "Yes, I PROMISE there is a number AND a letter." Hey, I'm not judging—I wouldn't know the first thing about buying a men's dress shirt. They know their neck size? Weird. We get to educate men about sizes and styles and show them a few things we think will excite them and make their partners feel luxurious. Then there are the men who are like bulls charging at the target—they know their partner's size down to the millimeter and have looked though our website thoroughly and picked out a set. It's that set or nothing.
No matter what type of shopper comes in, we know these couples end up having a passionate evening and we hope to take some credit for facilitating! After five years in business, some men have come back and admitted that their babies were conceived after they tore off one of the gifts they had just paid for at Brooklyn Fox. And that is a happy Valentine's Day." - Alexis Isadora, Owner/Buyer, Brooklyn Fox Lingerie

The generosity of blog readers and their desire to help one another see the world at prices we can all afford is nothing short of inspiring.
Here is the latest offer:
Howie, the guy building the credit card database for us, is a road warrior. He spends hours in the air for his job and as such accumulated a top tier status with Delta Airlines in 2009. As a reward for that loyalty, he received the ability to nominate somebody for Silver status for 2010. Howie wants to pay it forward to someone here on the blog, so here is how we'll do just that.
Tomorrow on January 24th at 4PM Eastern time I will open my email accountand pick the first respondent to the offer with the time stamp of 4:00PM or later.
(Due to the blog size, I anticipate that the winner will be right at 4PM or within a couple minutes of 4PM. Anywhere past that time, I won't be able to respond to those emails)
By making a commitment to buy a meal for a couple of active duty servicemen or women in an American airport and sending us a photo of "you all" (oops my Southern is comin' out) Howie will submit your name for the Silver status. You'll get bonus miles on your Delta flights, I think free baggage and the ability to join the upgrade lottery from Delta for the remainder of your 2010 flights.
We have 11,000 of our active military currently helping in Haiti and of course, others of our young men and women around the world representing us. This is Howie's way of saying thank you for their efforts and your commitment to them as well.
You will need to email Howie with your full name and Delta account number, but that information will never be disclosed here on the blog.
Good Luck to all of you and finally, I remembered to make it late enough in the day (4PM Eastern) to get our West Coast readers involved.
Sorry you guys. It is nothing personal, I just forget to think sometimes.
So for today and tomorrow, Howie is the Frugal Travel Guy of the Day
Thanks Howie for your contributions to the blog and to all of you that have payed it forward in one way or another.

We've waited all summer. Counted the days. Speculated about new additions. Discussed what's to come. Anticipated seeing our favourite players don that Maple Leaf and hit the ice. Well, it's here. Two games under the belt it's time to head home and really open the season.
The combination of a Saturday night in Toronto, Battle of Ontario, and Hockey Night in Canada is enough to get any Leaf fan excited but add home-opener to that list and it has the possibility to bring you chills.
For me, seeing new faces introduced to the home crowd and the applause for those welcomed back, has me grinning ear-to-ear with chills on my arms and awe in my eyes. From the years of watching with Dad on the couch, to those spent with friends at our local establishment, and now in the northwest vomitorium of the Air Canada Centre. It never gets old.
This year a handful of new faces will play their first home-opener with a logo on their chest that has been around for longer than most of their grandparents. A new generation will watch their first Leafs game, and lifelong Leafs fans will experience the comfort of having hockey back in their lives once again.
Now to this Throwback Thursday. November 12, 1931. A day marked not only as the home-opener of the season that would lead to the first Stanley Cup as the Toronto Maple Leafs but also the opening night for the new home of the blue and white, Maple Leaf Gardens.
The 48th Highlanders performed to the crowd of thirteen thousand during the opening ceremonies, a tradition that continues to this day. Hap Day sported the captain 'C' on his sweater and Charlie Conacher would put the Leafs on the board late in the second period in the match-up with the Chicago Blackhawks.
This game also marked the beginning of Foster Hewitt's Hockey Night in Canada radio broadcasts, establishing a long-standing Canadian Saturday-night tradition that will continue this Saturday on television.
Maple Leaf Gardens was recently reopened as the Mattamy Athletic Centre home of the Ryerson Rams.

I freakin' love this product!! Infinitely more moisturizing than the Sea Lipids daily cream because it contains butters in place of oils. For my dry-ish sensitive skin it is gentle and moisturizing. I barely noticed the scent and it left me with supple skin. I've found my HG, plain and simple!
You really only need a little bit as it is rich and thick. I take a dab, smooth it between my fingers then dab it on and rub it in.
More reviews by pregnantcowlady
HG night cream, so thick and moisturizing, but not disgustingly thick. I really like the smell of this and it does not break me out or anything. It can burn sometimes right after i wash my face with my acne meds, but that's normal no matter what.. I love this though, so soft and creamy and the packaging is great because it's easy to dip your hand into and get some and it's so thick i think the bottle could last 6+ months if used every night.
I've had one jar of this cream that was like thick cream and another that was like Crisco (which I just warmed in my hands before putting on my face) so it might be lack of usual emulsifiers etc. but I love that it's natural and think it smells nice and fresh. Since my t-zone can be oily, I mainly use it as a winter nighttime moisturizer and It does a great job, making my skin super soft. My skin can also be sensitive and does get a bit red initially but it calms down quickly, and I never break out from it, unlike other heavier creams.

I like this moisturizer at night. The texture is thick so it sinks into your skin and my face still feels moisturized in the morning when I wake up. Overall, I am happy with it as a nightime moisturizer and will purchase again in the future if I don't find something that I like better!
In search for a moisturizer to wear at night I bought this product because other Alba products I have liked. The anti oxidants and other such ingredients pushed me to buy thsi product. I have used it 3 times, i don't know why i just put it on again, but I have broken out in hives on my face, I feel maybe my skin needs to get used it or im upset because I want to like this but I thinik this is the last night I will be wearing it. I hate to have just bought a product and not be able to use it. I have sensitive skin or maybe I am too young for this product but didn't think I would get an allergic reaction like this... very upsetting... maybe someone can tell me if it does take time for my skin to get used to it.
I read about Sea Plus in a magazine as well as the reviews here, so I tried it. I liked how it absorbed into my skin right away, yet left a protective barrier that was not at all greasy. (Unlike another reviewer, I had no problems spreading this cream and see no need to dilute it with anything. It works great right out of the jar.) I also feel like it firms my skin and gives my complexion a nice color and glow. I was a little red from the dryness, but this seems to clear that right away. I put some on my hands and noticed that even after washing my hands a couple of times they still felt soft, so I was impressed. Even my lips seem to have a nicer, firmer shape.
EDIT: I'm taking off a lippy because I started waking up with dry skin again. If you're not super dry like I am, it's probably great. I still love it on my hands!

More reviews by Honeyrider1977
So far so good.
Although it's a little like rubbing Crisco on your face, this is really good for a night cream. However I wouldn't recommend it for acne prone or oily skin. I'm not saying it would make you break out, but I'm not sure that oily/acne prone skin needs this much hydration. I purchased this because I was looking for a heavier night cream, and this product delivers. I've got combination/normal skin so for me it's perfect, especially for the cold winter months a head although I would NOT use this as a day time moisturizer. A lot of people complain about the scent.. It's not horrible, but I've smelled better. Regardless of the scent I wake in the AM with very soft, nice looking skin. Like all the Avalon/Alba products (they're made by the same company), this is a pretty good product especially for the price. I actually like the entire skin care line from both Alba & Avalon. Granted it's not a miracle serum, but their products are a wonderful "Preventative Measure" for skin care especially if you have realistic expectations.
I discovered this product after searching for a natural night cream without mineral oil, parabens, or other harsh chemicals. I saw a review of this cream on another website & the ingredients are compared to those found in the uber-expensive La Mer Cream. The DMAE and other sea minerals are a few of the must-have ingredients for optimal skin renewal according to famed Derm Dr. Perricone (who also has a pricey line of skincare products).
EDIT - I sadly had to remove 2 lippies, beacuse although this cream worked well for me as a night cream in the warmer months, my skin has become more dry and sensitive lately and this just isn't working for me anymore. It is not moisturizing enough and it has been irritating my eyes (even though I am not putting around my eyes) and causing me to break out in hives along my jawline and cheeks. I think the fragrance might be the culprit. So sad!
This stuff rocks! Very gentle and effective. I have senstivie acne prone skin and this doesn't break me out. It may seem like a heavy cream but I still use it during the day--just don't slather it on. Nothing has ever hydrated my skin as well, especially around my eyes. My HG used to be Kiehl's ultra facial moisturizer, but I'm going to stick to this now. Alba makes another product called Sea Lipid Day Cream, which is like the less moisturizing lotion version of this product.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
01/31/2010 ETA: I finished up my jar of this cream and love it! My skin looked glowy and hydrated. No adverse effects, but couldn't give it the full 5 stars due to the strong marine/masculine scent. Otherwise, it's perfect! Original review to follow.
I've been using this for a week, so this review will only cover its preliminary moisturizing properties. For about $14, this is not bad for a nighttime moisturizer. I bought this after the Boots botanical light night cream was way too harsh on my skin - my face actually hurt from all the acids!
Anyways, this is definitely a thick cream, however it somehow doesn't break me out. Only a tiny bit is needed, and I keep it in the refrigerator so it has a cooling effect upon application, which is perfect in the current summer heat. The scent is a bit cologne-like, but it only bothers me for the few moments I'm awake in bed. In the morning, my skin is plump and moisturized.
I'll update this review after more extended use, but so far I do like this cream, I just wish it were unscented.

Super Class Fundraiser
Posted by
Tom Hamilton
on 09/17/2013 at 12:09 pm
Alex Johnson is running a fun fundraiser this coming Sunday to support the 2013 JRM:
Ever wondered what it would be like to play the historic and soon to be re-designed Johnny Roberts Memorial course with discs that were in use back in the day the course went in?
If so, then come on out this Sunday at 10AM and flashback to the days of big lipped Super Class discs.
If you are unaware of what designates a Super Class disc here is a pdf showing what falls under that category.
Anyone who has played the JRM tournament sometime over the past few years got a Fastback mold in their players pack and is a perfect disc to use.
Generally just think of Ultimate or catch style Frisbee's without a beveled edge.
Look for higher than normal scores and hopefully plenty of laughs.
Details: Check in starts at 9 and goes up to 10AM Sun 9/22. Tee-off at 10AM in lieu of the normal random draw doubles. One round
Pro $10
Am $5
Women/Junior $5
This event will be held as a fundraiser for the JRM tournament and all divisions will be getting cash payouts split 50/50. i.e. 20 Pros play, $200 in entries, $100 in prize money to be split.
Spread the word and I hope to see you out on Sunday morning.

F C Bayern Munich player Mario Gomez who was on his first visit to India spoke about his interest in bollywood movies.
Mario Gomez, the main striker and one of the most important players in the F C Bayern Munich team is all excited about his first visit to India. He says, " This is my first visit to India and I want to know more about the people and culture here in India. Even though it has been a very short visit I have enjoyed my stay here in India. People have been very warm and loving. I have tasted some of the Indian delicacies, but its too spicy. I wish to come back again and explore the country more."
Talking about the friendly exhibition match Mario adds, " We are happy and excited to play in an Indian ground. It will be our first time experience. Honestly speaking, I don't know much about Indian football but Bhaichung Bhutia has been a good friend and it a joy for us to play this match on his farewell occasion."
Ask about his stay in Delhi and he narrates, " The weather is beautiful and the city looks very clean. We wanted to go sight seeing but unfortunately its very short time and the team players just couldn't get much time going out of the hotel."
Besides his game, Mario loves travelling and watching movies. He excitedly tells us, " I have been following lot of Bollywood movies. Sadly, I don't understand Hindi. But yes, I did watch the Slumdog Millionaire movie and it is very popular in Germany." He continues, " I like Freida Pinto the actress in the movie, she looked very hot and sexy. Frankly I don't know too many Bollywood actors but would love to meet Freida one day." Would he like to act in Bollywood movies? And he laughs, " Me and acting, hahahah...I'm happy playing soccer."

LYNDON — The Lake Region Rangers traveled south Friday to face the Vikings of Lyndon Institute.
It was roughly 48 degrees at game time, but the competition between these two teams was hot. According to Rangers Coach Tom Evans, the two teams were equally matched.
After a scoreless first half, Fernando Tejero set up Alvaro Cortadellas to give the Vikings a 1-0 lead.

Combined with a desire to celebrate the community and culture of central Texas in the U.S., the design for the hospital began with a distinct vision to significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of the building on the environment and building occupants. The facility is part of a 700-acre new urbanist development on the brownfield site of a former municipal airport in Austin, a city known for promoting green building practices. An on-site natural gas-fired energy plant; courtyards that provide natural light and cooler, cleaner fresh air; views and access to nature; and the use of environmentally-friendly finishes all contribute to providing central Texas with a unique healing environment that is not only appealing to patients and families, but plays a key role in recruiting and retaining employees, critical in an industry experiencing a shortage of skilled staff.
UPDATE On 12 January 2009 Karlsberger announced that Dell Children's Medical Center is officially the first hospital in the world to achieve LEED Platinum status.

BERKELEY -- New coach Sonny Dykes held an informal hourlong visit with reporters this week to discuss the start of spring football and delivered blockbuster news about the vacant quarterback position:
"I'd love to have a starter after Monday," he said, in jest. "That would be ideal. One of the guys is so good, you go, 'Wow.'
"I don't anticipate that happening ... (but) the sooner the better."
The Bears begin four weeks of spring practice Monday, and among the coaching staff's laundry list of things to do is finding a quarterback to operate the "Bear Raid" spread offense.
There are five scholarship candidates:
Dykes said they all begin spring ball with a clean slate.
"We haven't been able to make any judgments just because it's a new system," he said. "It really doesn't do us a lot of good to go back and look at a lot of stuff."
There is no set timetable, but Dykes said he hopes to narrow the choices to two or three as quickly as possible because "reps at quarterback are the most valuable commodity there is."
So, what will Dykes and offensive coordinator Tony Franklin look for in their quarterback?
"Timing, accuracy, leadership, ability to inspire confidence from others," Dykes said.
Learning the assignment and executing it are two different things.
"They'll know what to do quickly, because it's pretty simple," he said. "The issue will be, can they do it? There's a lot of skills involved. Kind of getting all the moving pieces together. There is a certain skill level and refinement that it takes to get operating where you want to get operating.
"We're kind of an execution-based offense, not really a trick offense, not really a scheme offense. When you're pretty simplistic, you've got to really be able to execute at a high level. That'll be our challenge this spring, not really to learn what to do -- I hope we learn what to do very quickly -- but to develop the skill level to do it."
Consistency is the key.
"That's what makes our offense work," Dykes said. "The 3-yard completion, if the ball is thrown in the right spot at the right time, it results in a big play. If it's not thrown in the right spot at the right time -- the ball's thrown late or slightly behind him -- then you get a lot of 3-yard completions."
Shortly after March 23, when the Bears end workouts with a spring game, Dykes realizes he may no longer have five quarterbacks on his roster.
"A lot of that depends on who the starter is," he said. "Say Jared Goff wins the job, I would expect a lot of guys to leave. I would hope they wouldn't, but that's typically the way the quarterback position works.
"A lot of it has to do with how those guys fit and how much they like it. I hope they all stay. I don't know how realistic that is."

In my last post, I mentioned two sisters whom God used to ignite my interest in Him. After my relationships with these two girls ended, God sent other friends into my life. I am convinced that He used these friends to deepen my spiritual interest and to eventually bring me to a full commitment to Him.
Two of these friends were male and two were female, but all four were Southern Baptists. Each of them frequently invited me to attend services and youth outreach events at their churches, and occasionally, they prevailed upon me to go with them. I was particularly interested in the events at which food (preferably full meals!) was served. I specifically remember one time when one of the guys asked me to go to a youth meeting, and I asked, "Will there be food?" When he replied in the affirmative, I said "Absolutely!" (Note to all youth leaders: Never underestimate the power of pizza!)
Nearly every time I went to a church service or youth event, I heard preaching that was powerful, biblical, and relevant to my life. Speaker after speaker challenged me to quit living for myself and to devote myself fully to God. And I cannot tell you how many times I raised my hand (usually "with every head bowed and every eye closed") or signed a card saying that I was giving my life to Jesus. Still, these "decisions" never stuck, as I soon went back to living my old, essentially self-centered lifestyle. God, the church, and the Bible remained no more than a hobby for me.
In addition to bringing me to church events, my friends also testified to me about their faith in God. Slowly but surely, bit by bit, they broke through my stubbornness and skepticism and convinced me of many of the fundamental truths that I still hold today, including the truthfulness of the Scriptures, the love of God, and the importance of regular Bible study and worship. They never gave up on me; instead, they patiently and lovingly shared their beliefs with me. And while nearly all the speakers that I heard at the services were helpful, the personal witnesses of my friends were invaluable.
By the time I headed off to Austin to attend college, I decided it was time to explore some other Christian traditions besides the Episcopal faith. During my first semester, I lived on campus, but had no car. So I visited nearly every church that was within walking distance: Baptist, Methodist, non-denominational, and yes, even Episcopal. (Unfortunately, I had not even heard of the Orthodox Church, even though I lived but a short walk from St. Elias', near downtown Austin).
In January, I moved off campus, into an apartment that was a few blocks away from a very large Southern Baptist church. Naturally, I decided to check it out. The strong preaching there reminded me of what I had heard at my high school friends' churches, and the seriousness with which the people there seemed to take their faith greatly impressed me. And the short distance from my apartment didn't hurt either!
Although I still felt some loyalty to the Episcopal Church, primarily due to my love for my mother, I felt like I could stay in that tradition no longer. The Baptist church's preaching, along with the enthusiasm of its people, were something that I had never seen in my own church, and they drew me like a magnet. I correctly guessed that my mother would be hurt by my decision, but I prayed that she would agree to disagree with me about religion (which she eventually did).
For the next two years, I alternated between living in Austin and living in my parents' home in Pasadena, where I worked as an engineering co-op student at IBM in Clear Lake City. In my church involvement, I alternated between my church in Austin and various Baptist (and occasionally other evangelical) churches near my parents' house. In spite of attending church fairly regularly, and staying in touch with my high school friends, I still was unwilling to change my life. I wanted the ruler of my life to be ME, not God.
Over those two years, however, God gradually broke through to me, and convinced me that I could not be my own ruler and receive all the blessings of Christianity at the same time. I fought and fought him, but I finally had to give up. On January 15, 1989, at the end of the morning worship service at my church in Austin, when the invitation was given, I went forward and once and for all dedicated my life to Christ. I was baptized a week later, and I thus became a full-fledged member of the church that I would belong to for life.
Or so I thought…

Well, hello, back again for the livingroom view of my house? I'm glad you came by!
Go grab a cup of egg nog, or apple cider, or whatever your pick is and I'll give you a little view of my mantel. And, between you and me, it will be a quick view, because as I have been mentioning alot around this blog, I'm downsizing. And loving it! And downsizing, so...
I was going to start, and realized I wanted to change my railing lights in my living room up (will show next post) to white, from the multi colored they were. Problem was, I didn't have any other than the ones I used on my mantel. SO, off to the hardware store I had to go. AND, the lights were, of course, on sale. Is there any other way?!
Once I came home with my purchase, I started the decorating. And, I've kept it very simple, because, as I've mentioned 50 thousand times now, I am tired of the clutter.
First I will give you the l o n g shot of the 14 foot mantel, and then go in for a closer look at some of the details. Amanda wanted my topiaries down below this time, instead of on the mantel, so I was the "good" mommy and gave in to her "artistic" side. You might also notice that my stocking hanger picture frames are missing the pictures! I should have that rectified in a few days and will post updates.

You might also notice that my stocking hanger picture frames are missing the pictures! I should have that rectified in a few days and will post updates.
I took pictures of different sections of the mantel, because it is 14 feet long.
Basically, I just ran my lights along the length of the mantel, and then piled burlap on top of them. Then, I added just a few items this year. I have had it piled high in the past, and, even though I thought it looked beautiful, I am just wanting to simplify everything. I know, I'm pretty boring, eh?! (I couldn't resist getting an "eh" in there. After all I am a Canadian, lol!)
The red sleigh is one of two I picked up at a thrift store two years ago, just after Christmas.
This piece of artwork is normally on our Christmas tree. Now, I realize it's cracked, it doesn't havea a pretty edge, it's quite plain. It probably doesn't look like much to you all. But, to me it's a very special ornament, made at one of the hardest times in my life. But made by a very precious person to me. It's the hand print of Honey Babes, at about 2 1/2 months old.
We had just left Newfoundland, Canada, left the new "home" we were making for ourselves. And we went to a place with no support group, with a baby crying non stop. And, I'm so grateful that through the fog of exhaustion, we put in the bit of effort that went into making this. I treasure it very much.
This is just a simple candle holder I made and I leaned one of my Christmas wreaths from the Christmas tree against it. This wreath came from my "red" theme. I made the simple candle holder at a mother's group I have been going to, for about the last 8 months. I was feeling so uninspired that morning, lol! I got mixed up in the schedule, and thought we were having a guest speaker that day, instead of working on a Christmas craft, so I wasn't that "into" it at the time, lol!
And, this is the other sleigh I picked up from the same thrift store, at the same time, two years ago. I leaned another one of the Christmas tree wreaths against one of the runners, in the back. And I hung Amanda's second Christmas, tree decoration off the railing.
And, the most important Christmas decoration we have. And, the reason we all celebrate this time of year. Actually, I see of I have baby Jesus blocked from view here. He is just to the right of Mary. That is where Amanda decided He should go this year, right beside His "mommy"! You can see more of the details to the nativity pieces I posed about here.
Come back next time for my railing!
I'm linking up to these parties:

Here are a few reminders for when you plan to leave for breaks:
- Disconnect all electrical appliances, including VCR's, TV's, computers, and stereos.
- Lock and secure all windows and doors.
- Take all personal valuables with you or leave them with a friend or neighbor for the safety of those items.
- Stop mail and newspaper deliveries or have them taken in by a neighbor.
- Pull down shades or close curtains on windows.
- Notify trusted neighbors. Ask them to watch your apartment and to look for unusual or suspicious activities in the area.
- Leave a key with a neighbor who can check in on the apartment for you and will have it in case of an emergency.
- Bag and remove all trash.
- Do not leave a message on the answering machine stating that you are away or the date that you will return.
- Move your thermostat to 60 for winter (65 if you have house plants). In summer or hot weather, set thermostat at 80. This will save you on utility usage. For units that have their own water heaters, money can be saved by turning the water heater thermostat down to "warm" settings or a very low temperature.
- Most important - LOCK UP!!!

"Not as good as the first."
I loved the first book. Really. But then I got to the second, and I was a little concerned. The story was ok, but it started doing what a lot of good series writing does...get melodramatic in the middle.
By the time I got to the middle of the third, I almost stopped listening. I wondered if it was the same writer. The reader is good, so it could have simply been poor direction in a production of decent writing. I don't know, but something sent the whole thing off track.
The ending redeems it somewhat, but then, I didn't like how the Wolf turned out.
"yes. yes. yes. this is well done."
I have to write at least twenty words in order to submit a review ? how ridiculous... just to say very good book!
"Sam Tsoutsouvas Rocks!"
I think my headline is clear.
I don't know.
Art and craft refined, the man could make a phonebook interesting...for a while...and that's saying something.
"Uninspired Rubbish"
How about a modicum, a molecule of whatever fire lived in the author when he wrote the first book?
No. I understand sometimes the business of writing gets in the way of the art, but craft goes a long way, too, which speaks more to professionalism and some ounce of respect for readers, especially dedicated followers. What I just experienced was complete disregard, disrespect, and at the end outright disdain aimed directly at me from the author.
I had the sense that every choice he made for this story was done with a diabolic laugh, solely intended to disappoint the reader. Seriously, I felt intentionally repelled.
This was my first listen at Dotrice. I read the first books myself. I've heard great things about the reader, but I've also heard very bad things about his reading of this particular book.
I'm in total agreement with the detractors, but for different reasons. Most of the existing complaints were regarding the lack of continuity in character voices between the first three and this one. I don't have that history, but I can certainly say that Dotrice, and/or his director (if there was one) put about as much care into his performance as the author did.
I couldn't tell most of the characters apart. He did do some voices, but they all sounded like variations of the same three elderly people. The only difference being some were toothless, some were, well phlegm-y, and some were toothless and phlegm-y.
I really hope Mr. Dotrice is doing OK health-wise. I could easily see something like that having affected his performance, and it wouldn't be fair to allow for it. Whatever his condition, I did not enjoy this reading. I had to listen to a lot of the sections several times just to figure out who was talking. A lot of that is on the author, but not all of it.
Sigh. All of them.
"Great Conclusion"
This was much better than I expected, and I did expect a great deal. There were a few minor annoyances with characters, but they couldn't be helped as their trajectory had been set long ago. Still, my first statement stands. Thank you Mat for all the laughs, and thanks Mr. Sanderson.
"Enjoying This!"
This is definitely an adult series. It does revisit some typical fantasy themes - I even see a bit of Vader and Luke between Durzo and Kylar - but it is very well written and the story is constructed in a very original way.
I also like his magical system. I've not encountered the like. I'm not sure I understand the details, but it isn't really about magic anyway. It's about the characters and the story within which they unfold.
I only gave performance 4 stars, but it wasn't because of the reader. He took some getting used to for me, but I did come to realize he's very talented. The performance has more to do with certain dramatic choices, which I attribute to direction. The accents of the characters are all over the map. It got confusing sometimes until I realized I can't attribute a particular accent to a particular kingdom or people. It's really trivial, but it did distract me sometimes.
"Very Good"
Apples and oranges.
I liked them all in the end.
The very last. It should have been predictable, but wasn't.
You'll have to cast me in it first!
A touch of Ambercrombie. A touch of Sanderson. A touch of Salvatore. A touch of Feist.
"A must read!"
This would be a somewhat limited pool of works as most of my reading in this specific genre I do for myself. Among all epic fantasy I've consumed, this is one of my favorites.
As rhythmically gritty as Mamet. As triumphantly tragic in the struggle of the human condition in a universe the too often teeters towards darkness as any Shakespeare I've read. As action packed as any Summer blockbuster, and often uncomfortably naked is the violence therein.
Those of us observers who felt that the ending left them
There were many, but I held off from writing this review just to see what would stick with me. Ironically, it's something I didn't expect because it disappointed me as I read it, and I find I like it now for reasons that I wouldn't have expected. It's the scene when Biaz discovers his apprentice is really his former love, now undead, very powerful and seeking vengence. Particularly, it was learning, which for me was the first time, that Biaz might not only be completely full of s--t but may also be a mad meglomaniac.
That scene made me think a great deal - a great, great deal.
There were two. The first was when Glokta was trying to propose. The second was when Glokta unexpectedly gave hope to Jezal at the end that he might find some way eventually to act as king.
Not much at all to not like about these books in my opinion. I did gently grow tired of the

Artists have travelled to Antarctica from the earliest explorations, with photographers Herbert Ponting and Frank Hurley perhaps the best known.
New Zealand has supported artists in Antarctica since the beginnings of its involvement in 1956. In the early days of the New Zealand Antarctic programme most artists were either commissioned or NZ Defence Force artists.
In 1996 a resolution was passed at the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) that recommended the promotion of understanding and appreciation of the values of Antarctica, in particular its scientific, aesthetic and wilderness values, through… the contribution of writers, artists and musicians. Later that year, the education strategy approved by the Board of Antarctica New Zealand affirmed the role artists could play in supporting the overall aims of the Antarctic Treaty. So, in each subsequent season two or three New Zealand artists have travelled to spend some time on the Ice through the Artists to Antarctica Programme, established in partnership with Creative New Zealand.
Under this partnership Antarctica New Zealand provided administrative and logistical support, and Creative New Zealand financial support. The programme encouraged New Zealand artists in all disciplines to explore Antarctica through their work, thus increasing New Zealanders' understanding of Antarctica's value and global importance. Antarctica New Zealand has catered for a wide variety of arts, ranging from visual artists of various media (painters, ceramicists, photographers, sculptors, choreographers, jewellers, designers) through to writers and composers. These artists were awarded the title of Antarctic Arts Fellows. The first recipients were the painter Nigel Brown and writer Chris Orsman who travelled with Invited Artist Bill Manhire, in the 1997/98 season.
Since 2008 Antarctica New Zealand has run an invitation-only arts fellowship and was selected by expert panel targeting high profile, senior New Zealand artists.
This programme is currently under review.

I caught the flu. Dragnet 1968 me did view. Crunchberries tasted like shampoo. Skipped Patriots tickets and brew.
I caught the flu. The Christmas spirit it did renew. Better to give to you. Than to receive from who knows who.

There is that pesky 'influenza' thingy.
I fought the flu, and the flu won.
