The MR77 is one of the truly great McIntosh tuners. Produced from 1970-1978, the MR77 was designed by Richard Modafferi. The MR77 is essentially an MR78 without the variable selectivity - same designer, specs, etc. Soundwise in comaprison to the MR78 there is little sonic difference between them on any station with sufficient signal strength. The MR78 alternate channel selectivity was better but, this is at the expense of frequency bandwidth. Hence there is a tradeoff. The MR77 tuning is smooth. The sound is liquid. It is easy to forget with a good classical station that it is a tuner that one is listening to. Rich, tight bass, balanced detailed midrange and very detailed high-end. Like all McIntosh components it was designed and built to last a lifetime. Sensitivity 2uV for 35dB of quieting. Response 20-15kHz (+1 -1dB). Distortion 0.2% in stereo. Capture ratio .25 dB detector only, 2.5dB complete tuner. Image rejection: 100dB at 90 MHz, 90 dB at 105 MHz IHF. S/N 75dB. Separation 40dB@1kHz. Volume with on-off switch. Tuning ctrl. Signal strength and tuning meters. MPX indicator. Multipath indicator. BACK PANEL: Audio out 2.5V variable and 1V fixed. 300 or 75 ohm fm cable input. Scope outputs. Panloc mounting. In summary, this tuner is about sound quality. The designer who created the MR77 and MR 78 was a definite music lover. Unit is in 9+ condition. Low use and has been serviced. Alignments by Audio Pro. Unit has 1 or 2 tiny scratches at corners. Perfect glass. Connectors at back panel and chassis have no rust spots. Truly a museum quality collectors condition unit.
Audiophile version mini monitor. 6" coaxial driver, red and orange oak cabinet with glass tops. Excellent #9 condition: all parts tested and perfect, grills and driver all excellent.

Claimed by H-K to be the world's first ultra-wide bandwidth tube power amplifier. Designed from a professional sound engineers perspective by Stewart Hegeman, the Citation II featured a very high output (60 watts per channel), low distortion and an extremely high bandwidth (at 20W: 18 Hz to 60,000 Hz +0, /– 1.0 dB ). Weighing 70 pounds (almost 32 kg), this power amplifier looked good enough to eat with its chocolate coloured transformers and golden chassis. The circuit consisted of a pentode input stage, followed by a pair 12BY7 video pentodes as a differential phase splitter (the video pentode supplied a bandwidth of well over a megahertz in the input stage). The output stage utilised a pair of KT88's for each channel, each valve having its own bias control as well as an AC balance control. A small meter at the rear of the chassis was provided for measuring bias and AC balance. Three feedback loops were incorporated, giving 32 db of overall feedback with unconditional stability. The output transformers were superb, built by the Freed company in New York. Huge, well-potted units, they boasted extremely wide response characteristics with leakage inductance kept to an absolute minimum. Only the highest grade core materials available were used, which, lowered the effect of core distortion to a region well below the limit of human hearing. With feedback, the Citation II transformers were capable of high frequency response up to 270,000 cycles! The power supply consisted of four silicon diode rectifiers, filter choke, heavy duty electrolytic capacitors and a large, potted power transformer (also made by Freed). Our Unit has seen low use and known to be in storage most of it's history. Some amateur service work was done but only to attempt repair of one filter cap. We have corrected this as well as did add-on "helper" caps to boost filter cap rating which lowers noise floor and improves stability of all voltage vintage new old stock match. New GE BY7A's are installed (with a spare) and new National N.O.S. 4 KT88's (with one spare) are installed. Unit has seen very low use time, maybe a few years, but again new tubes are installed.

He is operating a restaurant that is within walking distance of the White House, and other governmental buildings. Those who dine in his restaurant can be found wearing expensive three-piece suits and may have just shaken hands with the president of the United States.
So how did an Abbeville native go from walking through life confused right after high school to becoming a top chef in Washington D.C?
Blame it on his Cajun heritage that got him where he is today.
After graduating from high school, Morton toiled with what to do with his life. He attended UL for two years but never liked it, so he quit.
What he always enjoyed doing on Sundays was hanging out at his grandmother's home in Abbeville and eating a Cajun meal with his entire family. Every Sunday, the Morton family would gather at Rhonda Broussard Morton's home to eat rice and gravy and roast, or fried chicken.
Well, it was family gathering and eating that he loved. Out of the blue a relative said he was opening a restaurant in Hammond and he conned his way into getting a job cooking in the kitchen. It was something new, so he thought he would give it try.
He fell in love with cooking and he has been learning the art ever since.
"I found my love," said Morton. "It (cooking) made me feel comfortable."
Three years out of high school, he was working at the Bombbay Club in New Orleans for free. From there he left New Orleans and went to California where he stayed and worked for two years.
He also graduated from the New England Culinary Institute in the New England area.
Morton moved to Washington D.C. where he has been since 2008. He is married and has two children a six year old and a three month old baby.
Today he finds himself balancing 14-hour work days and trying to raise a family. But when he is at work, South Louisiana is still pulling on him hard. Morton said he has created dishes using South Louisiana flavor. One of his favorite dishes is a Crawfish Tart, using Louisiana crawfish. Art Smith, celebrity chef, owns the restaurant where he works. Morton said Smith lets him cook different meals with Cajun influence. He uses south Louisiana shrimp, brown rice from south Louisiana, as well as other seasoning and meat.
"I do miss my Cajun Culture and the people," he said. "I'm homesick. You can not find the culture anywhere else. I long for that."
He does miss the culture, but do not look for him to move back to Abbeville and start his own restaurant. He is content where he lives and he is too established to walk away from it.
"There is too much of an opportunity here for me to leave," said Morton.
So instead of coming back home, he brings home north to Washington D.C. each time he prepares a meal using shrimp, crawfish, oysters or rice.
"No one can put their soul into each Cajun meal like I can because I lived it."

Lambda: A Multimodal Approach to Making Mathematics Accessible to Blind Students
By Edwards, Alistair D. N.; McCartney, Heather; Fogarolo, Flavio; ASSETS 2006 - The Eighth International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility,Publication Date: 2006
Article reports the results of the Lambda Project, which focused on making mathematical education accessible to students who are blind through the use of information technology. The Lambda System is an attempt to overcome the barriers to access through the development of a linear mathematical solution that can be manipulated by a multimodal mathematical editor. The Lambda Editor provides access to mathematical notation through braille, synthetic speech, and a visual display.

I am afraid I don't understand how the Vlookup relates to a "dropdown" box.
What kind of dropdown box is it?
On a sheet:
Data validation, combo box from Forms toolbar or combobox from controls toolbox
Combobox on a form
How are you filling the entries in the combobox?
Vlookups do not require a sorted list (if you want an exact match, it is required for an approximate match).

Orchard Manor offers exceptionally high quality guest accommodation with a personal touch in an informal and relaxing environment. It is located in Cornwall at the gateway of the Roseland Peninsula, five miles from Truro and eight miles from St Austell, pretty well at the centre of Cornwall; 20 minutes drive to either coast, St Mawes and Newquay, Padstow is 30 minutes drive, Mevagissey, approximately, 10 minutes. My favourite spot - I like to sit there with a bag of chips on the quay and watch the Harbour Lights flickering in the water in this beautiful little fishing village.
Plymouth is one hours drive; Lands End is also approximately one-hour drive.

President Bush's January 19 commutations of former Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compeon should be commended as an act of mercy. The border agents received mandatory minimum sentences that the judge could not tailor to fit them or their crime. However, the border agents are not alone.
As a High School teacher I know that thousands of first-time, low-level, and nonviolent drug offenders are serving sentences just as long or longer. Many of them seek clemency each year, but President Bush granted less than a dozen commutations in his eight years in office.
President Obama should grant many more. In his inaugural address, President Obama promised us government that works. Mandatory minimums don't. They create injustice, fill our prisons, cost taxpayers a fortune, and don't reduce crime.
We need to fix these problems at their core and stop allowing our youth to be a product of their environment. Anybody who has ever sold drugs doesn't do it for fun. Most people's situation has left them no other choice but crime or starve.
When billionaires can be bailed out and politicians granted presidential pardons, let's man up and do the right thing. If you don't believe in prisons that torture terrorists you really should let non violent criminals be retrained and help build our economy.
Granting clemency to some deserving prisoners won't fix everything, but President Obama should use commutations to begin a dialogue with Congress about how to get rid of mandatory minimums.

Made of brass with detail that borders on the exciting, this Parrot features a slot on his head for the collection of coin. A miniature brass lock dangles from beneath his beak which joins his head to his neck, and once unlocked allows his head to be thrown back and the treasures within to be revealed. Weighty and wonderful the bank measures 5 5/8" in length from head to tail, 2" wide and 3 5/8" tall. It is in excellent condition and although the outside is polished from years of handling the inside does exhibit rust and discoloration, and while it does come with a key that works it is not the original. Marked "Star No. 444" and "Industrio Argentina" on the lock. A keeper of coins, yes, but also great for secreting tiny treasures.

Big Band Report
The Best-Laid Plans...
It's Official. . . !
As Ken Poston said in announcing his next extravaganza, "you've talked us into it once again. And so Poston and the Los Angeles Jazz Institute will present "Encores in Big Band Jazz: Artistry in Rhythm Meets Woodchopper's Ball, celebrating the music that created the Stan Kenton and Woody Herman legacies, May 25-28 at the Four Points Sheraton at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport). And what a dazzling array of stars they've assembled! Besides the Woody Herman Orchestra directed by Frank Tiberi, there'll be performances by the legendary Terry Gibbs Dream Band, the Four Freshmen, the Bill Holman, Al Porcino and Mike Vax Big Bands, and Maynard Ferguson and Big Bop Nouveau.
But that's not all. There's Big Band Broadway featuring "The Stage Door Swings, directed by Lennie Niehaus; Woody's "My Kind of Broadway and Stan's "West Side Story, both directed by Joel Kaye; and "Blowin' Up a Storm, the music of Herman's mid-'40s First Herd. How's that for a starting lineup? Holman, by the way, will be showcasing two of his extended compositions"The Tall Guy (a tribute to Kenton) and "Homage à Woody (dedicated to guess who).
Of course, there'll be the usual films, panel discussions, special presentations and poolside concerts for those who'd otherwise be bored. Not to mention a bonus event for the first fifty people to registera narrated bus tour Thursday morning of many historic locations significant to Stan Kenton's career including the Earl Carroll Theatre, C.P. MacGregor Studios, Decca's Hollywood Studio, the Hollywood Palladium, Hollywood Bowl, Radio Recorders, the original Capitol Studios, the Capitol Tower, Wallich's Music City, Stan's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Creative World offices and the Kenton grave site in Westwood.
This is a bonus event, and no tickets will be sold for it. The price for all of thisand as always, it's a bargainis $350 in advance ($325 for Institute members). To register, send check or money order to the Los Angeles Jazz Institute, P.O. Box 8038, Long Beach, CA 90808-0038, or phone 562-985-7065. Yes, I'm going, so we'll see you there!
Higher Standards. . .
I received in the mail a brochure about an interesting new web site, www.JazzStandards.com, and thought I'd pass the information along, as some (if not all) readers may find it useful. It's described as "an educational and informative look at the tunes Jazz musicians record and play, and is aimed at Jazz educators, musicians, researchers, journalists, disc jockeys, students and Jazz fans (that about covers it). Included are origins and histories of songs, music analyses, songwriter biographies, book reviews and CD recommendations.
The sample page, which assesses the standard "My Funny Valentine, contains a carload of helpful data including all of the above plus musicians' comments, soundtrack information, a list of other songs written by the same composer (Richard Rodgers), Jazz history notes pertaining to the song, recommended books for reading and research, and even a "listen button to hear the tune at amazon.com. Sounds indispensable, and it's only a click or two away.
And that's it for now. Until next time, keep swingin'!

It was suggested that I start a thread for a comic that I started in Okay, partner. Draw!. I was lurking on QT3 a little before the implosion, came over here after that, and started lurking again. I love avatars here, because while reading threads I start making dinosaur and airplane noises while imagining different posters' avatars going on surreal adventures. Never had a chance to really tie anything together into a more cohesive plot until I saw Dan's post here. The evolving mess you see below is the result of that.
*giddily pops up from the gloaming to love thread to pieces oh yes* EDIT: Oh uh, should I wait til you're done securing placeholding posts? ^^;;
I've probably stepped in it enough, but to be clear if you never update it again it will still have been awesome, and if you only update it whenever you feel like doing so across the next few decades it will still be more than enough. There are some forms of forum metacommentary, along the lines of Klamiti 's famous charts, that get to dictate their own terms. This is all of them.
This is now my favourite thread on the site. Even if nearly all threads I've read are my favourite thread on the site. But this one gets a special place in my heart.
DON'T TRY TO DEFEAT A PROFESSIONAL FROM THE LP THREAD. And by professional, I mean completely insane and possibly addicted to liking posts. Possibly.
Yeah, this is already amazing. As much as I want to read more, don't feel pressured to post. Do it when your're inspired and when you're ready.
I have a few ideas queued up. Making people happy makes me happy, and I haven't been this excited about going home from work in a long time. I find that I can sometimes just flop over into bed after a full day of software engineering since I'm too mentally exhausted to do anything else. I've been apprehensive since humor is a dicey subject for me to handle, and can fall flat easily even if I think I know my audience. Best case scenario, no one cares. This buys time to make a quick getaway before anyone notices how bad the joke actually was. Worst case scenario, instant excommunication. Except for BF, that is. You get likes instead.
Meserach, when did you become an LPer? Also, Urk, glad to hear you're excited about posting your awesome comics here. It's good to be proud of something you created, especially something as beautiful as your comics.
A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then that it is the year 2013. The known forum-verse is ruled by the Fatbird Emperor Lum IV, my father. In this time, the most precious substance in the universe is the like. The like extends life. The like expands consciousness. The like is vital to space travel. The LP Forum and its participants, who the like has mutated over 4,000 years, use a hyper-active form of liking, which gives them the ability to fold space. That is, travel to any part of the forum-verse without moving. Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you — the like exists on only one forum in the entire universe. A desolate, dry forum with vast deserts. Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people known as the Gorgnards, who have long held a prophecy that a man would come, a messiah who would lead them to true freedom. The forum is called Broken (also known as BF). Also, this thread reminded me of this recent page of MSPA. I hope we don't destroy you with effusive praise Urk!
Urk, these comics are truly great. I really cannot overemphasize how much I enjoy and appreciate them.
*Spazzes likes in every direction* And just to clarify, the fact Javert actually is an LP hallmark now makes me marvelously happy. I think if I can make Victor Hugo spin in his grave just one more revolution a minute I can get France to light into one, glorious tangent about Argot.
Great that you made this thread as I was now able to like the post(s) containing your comics once more.
Of course Javert is there, his sideburns are rad, bro. My favorite thing so far is the Elyscape finch, sandwich, eye tower of lasers. Urk, your art is truley gorgeous. If you don't do something in art already, you should consider it.
Thank for the answer! I don't think I'd ever be grognard-y enough to pick that up on my own. I know all of... one person IRL who does Warhammer things.
Oh man, thank you for tagging me, the giant viking lop fucking made my day. Urk, you are totally rad, the bunny is adorable and threatening at the same time. <3 And the first comic! It made me laugh out loud. <3 <3 EDIT: basically, ALL THE FEELS
These comics are awesome, Urk! Although personally, I think it's totally possible to split ones time between the LP forum and Grognard central, but I guess I'm some kind of crazy ninja. Well, crazy, at least. (I will admit, it was spotting the Servo Skull that pushed me over from like to love. Well, that, and the depiction of @Thoro's beardcats. So good!)
I think it might be a reference to XCOM. When it's the enemy's turn and you have no LoS on the baddies, it shows blankness or fog or something and reads [ALIEN ACTIVITY]. Could be wrong but I hope I'm right.

Modern elegance is abloom with this striking floor lamp comprised of white cased glass and metal with a ginger black finish.
Exquisite white cased glass "buds" sit atop the metal frame of this striking floor lamp. A ginger black finish provides beautiful contrast to the tulip-shaped shades.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Besides providing light, it adds art to the room.
Although the lamp was more expensive than I would normally pay, I'm glad I bought it. I love it. I bought a dimmer switch separately and glad I did.

Home : 2001 : Oct : 28
Because I have my ED kids in with me, who are generally very smart, I often set up a system where they can "earn" to help other kids with their work. I don't do this daily, but it comes in handy. I don't pair two fourth graders together, because I don't want any student to feel inferior, so I'll usually pair up one of my 5th graders with a 1st or 2nd grader, and both kids really like working with each other, (plus it reinforces positive social skills that we work on!) Another thing I will do that I find effective, is that if I have 2 kids that are normally grouped together for reading/math, I have file folder games that they can do after I have some time to work with them. They will usually stay on task because it's a game, and if they aren't, I usually tell them that it looks like they want some "un-fun" worksheets, which usually gets them back on track! Okay, I'm rambling. Email me if you have any other questions. My first year of teaching this way, I was a wreck trying to teach everything I wanted to teach each day, but sadly, you just can't. Once you get a system in place, you'll feel more comfortable, and will know that you are doing everything you can!

Zan Azlee (The Malaysian Insider)
If there is one thing that I hate to death, it is spam. Getting spam email is one of the most annoying things ever.
Even more annoying are spam SMSes... you know, the ones that tell you about cheap beer at various nightclubs or discounts at popular restaurants.
But recently, the most annoying spam SMSes I have received are from a certain politician and Cabinet minister who goes by the name of Raja Nong Chik.
It started when I decided to register to vote slightly less than a year ago. Registration went fine with no glitches (i.e. suddenly finding out I'm registered to vote in Sabah!)
My constituency, according to my IC address, is Lembah Pantai. As we know, the current MP in that area is PKR's Nurul Izzah Anwar.
Since I didn't vote in the last general election, I can't claim to have played a role in getting her into office.
And now that the 13th general election is coming up, rumour has it that Umno will be fielding Raja Nong Chik in Lembah Pantai.
Now right after I had registered to vote (at the Election Commission office in Shah Alam), I started receiving the SMSes.
The first one wished me Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha, signed off with "RAJA NONG CHIK."
I was quite shocked! I had only just registered a couple of weeks ago and now this Cabinet minister already had my mobile phone number.
I was about to cry "personal data theft!", but quickly restrained myself. Good thing I did because, apparently, there is no such law against that in Malaysia.
After that, it just went on and on. I started receiving New Year greetings, advice on how to spend my Ramadan and even an invitation for Lailatul Qadar prayers.
Last month, I even received an SMS that had the hash tags #MERDEKA55 and #JANJIDITEPATI! He could be using the same bot service as #YORAIS!
The last straw came last Tuesday. My iPhone blew out the fog-horn ring tone, indicating that an SMS had come in so I quickly checked my phone.
When I noticed it was from Raja Nong Chik, I just got annoyed. But what pushed me to the edge was the content of the SMS itself.

We like turnarounds, and one of the wineries we noticed that had stepped up quality in the past go-round of reviews is Mazzocco , based in Sonoma's intersection of Dry Creek and Alexander valleys. All four of Mazzocco's 2005 Zinfandels hit the jackpot in our blind tastings and I say "we" and "our" because Tim Fish, my colleague and associate editor, is now covering the lion's share of Zinfandel reviews, and he first came to notice the improvement.

Brown's website as mad as he is
Number10.gov.uk - all the news on piercings and Ada Lovelace
Requirements Checklist for Choosing a Cloud Backup and Recovery Service Provider
The Ten Downing Street website has a rather odd collection of meta-tags including entries for piercing, tattoos, Israel, Ada Lovelace and Sarah Brown.
Ada Lovelace Day was yesterday so we can only assume they're keeping up to date at least. Presumably Number Ten techies also prefer Ada to some dull old Budget stuff which people might have been looking for yesterday. Strangely the site doesn't actually appear to have any information on piercings, nor is there much on tattoos.
Number10.gov.uk includes metadata keywords for football, women, thameslink, SSRB statement but not Gordon Brown.
The Telegraph, which takes such things very seriously, set its search optimisation expert on the site. He found 135 versions of the site but no "canonical tag" which would explain the link to search engines.
The paper also noted that Brown's channel on YouTube is also hard to find - the Downing Street website refers to Number10TV - but search for that on Google and the top result is this parody site.
Compare and contrast with an earlier investigation - the Queen seems to have keywords, Twitter and YouTube all sewn up.
Her site even includes a Google Map of Royal visits showing where Prince Philip is likely to be insulting the locals next. ®
Requirements Checklist for Choosing a Cloud Backup and Recovery Service Provider
Jezza for PM? Gawd no!
Jeremy Clarkson's policies
- Smoking in public - NHS bills go up
- No HSE or high-visibility jackets - NHS bills go up
- No speed limits on motorways - you know where I'm going with this
JC is a controversialist and tosser - an entertaining tosser I will grant you - but I wouldn't trust him to organise anything more complicated than a dinner party.
Game has changed
We used to vote for a party, and their policies, who then voted for their leader who, if the party was in government became the PM.
This started to change about 30 years ago, when we started to look at how party leaders dressed (for example) over what their policies were. The death knell of the old system came with Blair and none of the current crop of "leaders" seem to want to change (nor could they to be fair).
Tory / Labour policies are so similar you would be hard pushed to identify one without being told which party had promoted it (try that with 1970s manifestos). Debates are a farce as, again, both sides will say anything they thing the public want to hear. The only parties in the UK which have actual political opinions are even worse (BNP for example).
As we gear up for the latest round of madness, the news shows us coverage of "SamCam" being pregnant - seriously who gives a fuck - vs Sarah Brown being all caring - ditto. Brown is regaled for his appearance and personal qualities, rather than his party politics and Cameron is so distrusting of his cabinet that he is spokesman on *every* bloody topic. When the Tories get in, will he even bother with a cabinet or just do lots of photoshoots of him smiling?
It is of no surprise to me that voters are apathetic. Can you blame them?
(and yes, I also feel that 1984 has turned into a guidbook, while Yes Minister is a documentary)
Why Sarah Brown?
Forgive me but I was under the impression the Labour Party voted for Gordon to be their leader and so, as they're currently in power, he becomes PM.
When, exactly, did Sarah Brown become a spokesperson for the Office of number Ten? She can blog all she likes, meet anyone she cares to and cohort with any number of disreputables for all I care - but she has no rights what so ever to be referred to as anything other than the PM's wife and certainly should not have links to her activities anywhere near '10.gov.uk.
Mind you, she's probably a damn sight more popular than her husband is or has ever been. Not that the populist agenda is something Comrade Brown follows. No, Sir.
/AC 'cause I've read 1984 and believe it to be a documentary.

[YEA] 09/03/2011: Robinchd from Vero Beach, Fl, Usa: "I had high blood pressure and did a bit of research on the internet and heard that beet root juice could take blood pressure down within an hour or so and keep it lowered for 24 hours. I went to a health food store and bought two bottles at $9.00 a bottle. I drank 1/4 of a cup and waited a while and then checked my blood pressure. It works. The only thing is you have to drink it every day to keep your blood pressure lowered, but I would rather drink a bit of beet root juice each day than to take a medication each day.
Purchasing it from a health food store is expensive so I went out and bought a good juicer ( initially an expensive purchase, but well worth it). I then began juicing l/2 of an organic beet every day along with other vegetables of my choice, and my blood pressure has actually come down to being on the low/normal side. I swear by this and can't believe that everyone with high blood pressure doesn't know about it, and wish I could let everyone know. Hopefully, on this site, it will help as many people as possible."
Replies09/04/2011: Jc from Boston, Ma replies: "Beet juice will also detox your liver. Not a bad thing, but some may have some uncomfortable experiences if their liver is particuarly toxic and they hit the beet juice hard."
[YEA] 12/06/2009: Lan from Atlanta, Ga: "I am surprised that no one has posted about drinking beet juice to control high blood pressure. I have been reading the EarthClinic testimonials like reading short stories novel :). I have used ACV to bring down fever from flu instantly on 4 occasions, so I was spreading the words about this site to anyone I know in the hope of sparing someone the agony of being sick with the flu. And my good intention has paid off! On Friday I went grocery shopping with my Mom. We were done, and instead of heading to the cash registers, my Mom pushed the cart around the vegetable section one more time. We stopped to look at the beautiful golden beets, she never had it before, and we were debating about trying it or not. A lady came and asked us about the gold beets, we said we did not know its taste, and she turned to the next bin and told us that the red beets are very good for the blood pressure. I pressed on and she said her husband was 179/99 and refused to take any medicine. Her son went on the internet to research and found that beets cure high blood pressure. For two and a half years now, she and her husband take 3 slices of beet a day and maintain a normal range. She said it can be boiled, pickled or roasted like a potato. I thank her and gave her this website address. Had we gone to check out 1 minute earlier, we would have missed her. Talk about good karma, I believe in it.
Now I am telling you about my Mom's story, she is 80 years old and always has high blood pressure despite her vegan diet. She had two strokes 7 years ago, almost did not make it. But luckily she recovered, her speech is still not 100% like before, but she carries a normal life now. After taking the dr's medicine for some time, she refuses to take them anymore. She said she was like half dead. One drug did not work, then another one, and that caused water retention, and another the drug to take care of that, and the numbers of pills kept piling up because of the side effects. At her check up 2 years ago, her blood pressure was 200/120, her Dr was bewildered and told me if anything happens call 911, don't come to her office. We did not see the Dr since. Mom tries to take care of herself, she peruses all the herb medicine catalogs with a dictionary because of her limited English, she orders all kinds of supplements and she is proud of herself. But her blood pressure stays on 177/99 on average. I used 1/2 a medium size beet, 2 thin carrots, and 1/2 a large apple. Put all in the blender with 3 cups of water. Pureed and poured it through a strainer and gave her 1 cup of juice before dinner and 1 before bedtime. This morning her reading was 164/98. After only two cups! I made another batch this morning with only 2 cups of water. After 1 cup and 1 hour later her latest reading was 161/96. I am so happy and eager to spread the words about this remedy to anyone out there who needs it. If you need more information about the beets, just look up "beets and high blood pressure".
Wishing everyone happy happy holidays."
Replies04/29/2011: Gavin from Manganui, Northland, New Zealand replies: "If she is on a strict vegan diet, it might be wise to check her b-12 levels..

[QUESTION] 02/19/2009: Laura Oliver from Birmingham, AL: "whole beets or just beet juice to lower blood pressure.
A recent study found that 16oz of beet juice daily lowers blood pressure as well as meds.
The problem is beet juice is expensive.
Starting today I am eating a can of beets (rinsed to reduce sodium) a day. Anyone have any experience in this?
Does anybody have an idea why the study used beet juice instead of beets? Why not whole beets? Why arent whole cooked beets just as good as the juice for lowering BP? What make the juice "work" and not the whole beet. If the whole beet works how many would I have to eat a day to equal 16oz juice?
Any juicers out thers.....If I have to juice them-- what ratio? can I just put some raw beets in a blender?
my BP is high, but I want to give myself a few months to bring it down naturally so I am thinking this "beet" thing looks promising.
Blood Pressure Readings
02/27/2010: Gregg from Petoskey, Michigan, USA: "Would like to know if anyone knows (or can direct me to a website) any information on my blood pressure and the significance of the readings. My readings always show a top number that is considered high and the bottom number is normal or below. Typical readings will be as follows: 140/80, 130/68, 120/62 depending on time of day. Is this worse/better (or insignificant) than both readings being high. I just started using Apple Cider Vinager w/mother to try and bring top number down to normal. I am a 54 yr. old male with a resting heart rate of approx. 46 bpm and considered to be very athletic. (6'1", 195 Lbs. 34" waist/44" chest and eat a very healthy diet). Thanks in advance for your help!"

02/27/2010: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Hello Greg from Petoskey, Michigan,I have read that the best way to keep a check on your blood pressure is to take it in the same arm, the same position, at the same time each day. Now that we have that out of the way, let's also add that our heart rates and our blood pressures vary with our activity and also with our emotions. When I looked at your readings, I felt envious. However I did wonder if that 140/80 occurred right after getting home through all that snow you guys have been getting lately. If it was, in the future have a seat and a hot cup of tea, kick your heels up and relax for at least 1/2 hour before checking your blood pressure. It has only been a few years that 140/80 was considered high. Before that it was a normal reading.
First off to explain 140/80: the 140 is called the systole and the 80 is diastole. The systole is pressure the blood exerts against the arteries during the pumping action of the heart, the diastole is the pressure exerted at rest between heart beats, so if one or the other has to be a little high, better the one with the pumping activity than the one at rest between beats. For dietary reference, 4 stems of celery per day is said to lower the blood pressure. Also read recently that eating 2 slices of beets (fresh, canned, or cooked) a day does the same. You might consider taking a B6 and magnesium supplement to lower the blood pressure should it go higher. There is a nonprescription tablet combining the 2 on the market. It is called Beelith tablets. If you go that route, 1 tablet morning and evening should do the trick, but if you are sure that your diet includes adequate amounts of these, you shouldn't need them, but there is a lot of controversy these days on whether our depleted soil is furnishing our plants with the nutrients they need. My own blood pressure has gone up lately despite being controlled for years with magnesium. After thinking it over, it probably is connected to emotions connected to Obama and his health care reform bill (and his deafness to the 63% who don't want anything to do with it).
Lots of people would love to have your readings and you must be very active (not just considered very active) to have a 46 resting pulse rate."
02/28/2010: Gregg from Petoskey, Michigan replies: "First, thanks Joyce from Tenn. for your responce and information! It's great to have people out there that are willing to help and share their experiences and knowledge. I started eating 4 stalks of celery approx. 10 days ago. (I will try the B6/Magnesium combination you spoke of). The highest b/p readings were in the evening after coming home from work. I am taking Apple Cider Vinegar (2 tablespoons) mixed with (2 tablespoons) of clover honey and one tablespoon of light brown sugar stirred in approx. 6 oz. of hot water. Tastes very good! (Hope the honey and sugar do not affect the benefits of the ACV) Again Joyce, thanks for taking the time to help me out."
02/28/2010: Eve from Liverpool, Merseyside, United Kingdom replies: "Hi, I thought the diastolic reading was the most important and should be below 90."
02/28/2010: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Hi Eve from Liverpool,The ideal blood pressure reading for an young adult is 120/80. The upper number is systole (what pressure is exerted during pumping action and the diastole (pressure exerted during rest between pumping action). When looking at the numbers, you can readily see that a 20 increase in the systolic doesn't look nearly as frightening as when it occurs in the diastole (140/80 vs 120/l00) and your doctor is more likely to be concerned about the 120/100."
02/28/2010: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Hello Gregg from Petoskey,You are most welcome. I don't think your 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar will interfere with the action of the ACV, but that is a lot of sweetening for 1 cup or 6 oz water. Must taste kind of like syrup in those proportions. If you have a tendency toward insulin resistance (also known as Metabolic Syndrome X which ends up in diabetes mellitus-type 2) you might want to start cutting down on so much sweets. I have this problem myself, and find that my 2 tablespoons of ACV goes down very well in tomato juice with no sweetening. You might also want to work on reducing your aspartame and monosodium glutamate (MSG) in your foods. You won't be very successful with this until you learn all the names they hide MSG under. Aspartame is usually under NutraSweet or Equal, but MSG has a slew of names in the ingredients lists. You are going to find it very hard to find any salad dressing, tomato ketchup, sauces, broths, bouillion cubes or powders that don't have one or both. When eating out remember that anything made with a sauce or gravy is going to be loaded with one or both. If you search Metabolic Syndrom X on the internet you will find that it starts with excess insulin production - progresses onward through high cholesterol, over weight, high blood pressure to diabetes and all its compliciations including strokes and heart attacks.
One thing I didn't mention because you said you were a very healthy eater, if you are drinking carbonated beverages (I consider one a day, one too many) you need to switch to water, herbal teas or green tea instead. I have been sure since the late 70's that they aren't good for your kidneys, but it was only recently that I read something that might explain why. It seems that when sodium benzoate (preservative) and vitamin C are included in the same food or drink, a chemical reaction occurs that converts the sodium benzoate back into benzene, to find what havoc that can do in your body, just type benzene in the search window and enjoy reading. Cancer of the kidneys is one thing it causes. I have no trouble believing this as a great niece got a kidney transplant on my birthday in 2006 (thanks to cancer of the kidney) and my niece had part of one kidney removed for the same reason about 2 years ago.
Four children I saw in the clinic who were spilling protein in their urine convinced me that carbonated beverages damaged the kidneys when their proteinuria disappeared with having the parents take the kids off of all carbonated beverages, letting them only have milk, fruit juice or water to drink."
02/28/2010: Karen from Deland, Fl replies: "To Eve from Liverpool:
That's what we've been told, but unfortunately the information is very misleading and appears to be intentional. I found this article (I've listed below) very interesting, especially where it states that just four years ago high blood pressure was classified as 160/95.
"Here Are the Best Natural Cures for High Blood Pressure:
High blood pressure is classified as a systolic pressure of more than 140 and the diastolic pressure of more than 90. It's interesting to note that about 4 years ago, high blood pressure was classified as 160/95. The lowering of the standard has little to with health risks, and a lot more to do with how much money goes into the FDA, and the entire pharmaceutical industry. This is part of the reason that many of the natural cures for high blood pressure are not publicized. However, without much further ado, here are the best natural cures for high blood pressure:
Apple Cider Vinegar - This is a miracle cure for high blood pressure patients. Apple Cider Vinegar acts very fast, and you will start seeing a difference in your blood pressure within a week with it. You do not need any other medication for high blood pressure with apple cider vinegar.
Dosage - Take one full tablespoon 3 times a day for the best results.
Preparation - Nothing special. If it's too strong for you, you can mix it with a glass of water.
Recommendation - Buy an unpasteurized apple cider vinegar brand. A good one I know of is the _____s organic Apple Cider Vinegar.Downsides - None as such. You might want to add in a bit of Sodium Bi-Carbonate to help provide the extra carbonates that your body will need due to the acidic nature of Apple Cider Vinegar.
This is easily one of the best natural cures for high blood pressure."
We know from reading EC that raw ACV has worked well for many. Thanks to the drug companies and their scare tactics we've been lead to believe we are all suppose to run somewhere around 120/80. More drugs, more money in their pockets. As if they need it, they are already a billion dollar industry."
02/28/2010: Karen from Deland, Fl replies: "Response to Joyce from TN -
Not this doctor, this was recently just posted:
"Dear Doctor Rief, I have had high blood pressure for 20 years. I have tried at least 14 different medications during all these years. In all this time I have never been able to get my pressure down to normal limits. My diastolic is always in the 90`s and the systolic in the 140`s. I am now 54 and worrying as time passes I am at risk of stroke or heart attack. I`ve had a stress/echo 18 months ago and it was normal. What can I do to get my pressure under control? I also suffer from GAD and currently take 5 mg. valium TID. I am under a lot of stress in my life and have been since first being diagnosed with high blood pressure. Problems with my marriage and relationship with parents and kids. I just want to be normal as now I am not able to drive due to the anxiety. Thank you for any advice you can offer
Doctor's Answer:
It is difficult to give specific advice without having complete data in an individual patient. However, a few points can be made:Anxiety can cause or aggravate hypertension, and hypertension can cause anxiety. Some patients respond to counseling, while others respond to antidepressants.
At any rate, your blood pressure should be 130 systolic or lower. You can safely ignore the diastolic number, as it is not indicative of cardiovascular risk."
03/01/2010: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Hello Karen from Deland,This is a first for me. Never in 30+ years of working in the medical field have I heard any doctor or nurse say you can totally ignore the diastolic reading.
But knowing no more than we do about this person with the hypertension/stress/anxiety problems for 20 years, my reasoning would have been that stress depletes the body of the B vitamins, and that magnesium is an essential mineral our bodies need which also has a lot to do with our nerves, thus our stress and anxiety. You aren't going to cure the family problems with the the parents or the kids overnight, if ever. But the odds are that the level of stress and anxiety are causing a lot of those problems with the marriage, parents and kids.
If I were in this person's shoes I would probably make sure I was taking a good multivitamin/mineral supplement daily (probably one morning and one evenings for a week or two), a good stress tablet mealtimes and bedtime, and magnesium supplement of 400 to 500 mgm b.i.d. Once I was feeling better and pressure let up, I would wean myself off the Valium 5 t.i.d. Another thing our bodies need that has a lot to do with blood pressure also is potassium, and our modern day fast food dietary habits are likely to cause multiple deficiencies. Low potassium also causes an increase in stress and anxiety. A good way to tell if this is part of the problem, is to drink a big glass of fresh or frozen orange juice and see if you feel better for an hour or more afterwards. If so, add a potassium supplement to increase health immediately, but in the long run, improving ones dietary habits to increase these levels is going to be the most beneficial.
If problems with family, marriage, kids and parents continue, then the whole bunch of them need to learn to talk to each other, without accusations and anger, and if they can't do that without counseling, lets hope they find a good one. "

Breathing Technique
[YEA] 03/28/2008: Bill from Gilmanton, NH: "I read about a machine that you can pay a lot if money for, which helps lower your blood pressure by a breathing technique. I learned this Yoga breathing technique which does the same thing. Breath in, (through nose) half way..12345, hold...12345, breath in rest of way...12345, hold..1-5, Breath out half way through lips, 1-5, hold...1-5, finish emptying lungs as slowly as possible through pursed lips. Do 8 rounds of this. 8 is the Chinese lucky number. It is also the symbol for infinity when turned sideways. The object is to take longer on the exhale than on the inhale. I find that I can lower my BP quite a bit with this method. ...Bill"

Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium
[YEA] 05/13/2006: Dee from Birmingham, AL: "I recently visited the local health food store. I started taking one supplement called Calcium Magnesium Potassium (I won't name the brand name). I have been taking it for about three weeks now. I recently checked by blood pressure at a doctor's visit and it was very normal (124/78). My blood pressure hasn't been this normal in years."
Cayenne and Garlic
[YEA] 08/27/2006: Carrie from Kuwait, Middle East: "I had a heart attack 1 and half years ago. 3 nights ago I experienced pains and was hospitalized and found to be suffering once again with a heart condition. I searched the internet and came across your site. Thank you for an amazing treasure of cures and remedies. I used 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and a tablespoon or two of honey in rather large glass of boiling water. I found the taste really delicious! I swallowed crushed clove garlic with this drink and truly my heart settled almost instantly and my BP is normal! To all heart sufferers, this is an amazing remedy to try, you only benefit from it. I intend having this daily probably for the rest of my life!"
Cayenne for High Blood Pressure
Home Remedy Ingredients

Cayenne pepper pills are available, but simply adding a teaspoon of cayenne to your daily meals can significantly reduce blood pressure almost immediately. Try adding it to hot water for an invigorating beverage!
[YEA] 11/01/2011: Marthas from Zeerust, North West South Africa: "It has been a week since I've been using cayenne pepper and also a hypertensive, I must say that the health benefits are out of this world. I take half teaspoon with a quarter coldwater every morning with no side effects. Thanx to all tips about cayenne pepper."
[YEA] 06/13/2009: Maria from San Francisco, CA: "i was wondering about the virgin coconut oil...it was mentioned that it is not recommended for people with high blood pressure, and i was wondering if that applies to the oil applied externally as well as internally? (as in the rubbing of the feet and calves before bed)... because i do not have high blood pressure but my boyfriend does, or used to at least...we have had some success with cayenne pepper (1 tblspn twice a day)...btw he is less prone to lose his temper because i think your temperament and patience is affected by the blood pressure (and vice versa)... so my other question is if you know that your blood pressure is now lowered from taking the cayenne (its been about a month now), must one continue taking it indefinitely? also we have been making kombucha at home and we notice less desire for caffine and more energy, better skin...
we would recommend using silver needle white tea, as the taste is great combined with the kombucha, champagne-like, and it has the more anti-oxidants than black or green tea. thanks, Maria"
Replies06/13/2009: Maria from San Francisco, CA replies: "this is an amendment to an earlier post i wrote about cayenne pepper lowering my boyfriend's blood pressure. i wrote that he took 2 tblspns a day but i was wrong- he actually takes 1 tsp. a day, spilt up into 1/2 tspn twice a day. the way he does it is by wrapping it in a little tissue paper and swallowing it, and then drinking or eating something that coats the stomach, like milk (before or after...you start to build up more of a tolerance for it after awhile. we were going to buy the gelatin capsules but they seemed sort of expensive.also while i was at it i wanted to mention that honey (raw is best i think) works well for mosquito bites, cuts, and skin irritations, like skin tabs on the edges of your nails, just put a little bit directly on the skin and its stops the itch and helps it heal faster. i think it also helps for wounds, though doesn't stop the bleedinng like cayenne. thanks and sorry about the mistake earlier!"
01/25/2010: Trea from Shirley, New York, Usa replies: "Need some help please. My husband has extremely high blood pressure. He was hospitalized for it more than 6 times in 2008 and about 4 times in 2009. We changed his diet a couple of years ago so he is eating much healthier and he dropped 25 lbs. His medication has been switched so many times over the past few years that he has probably been given almost every type of BP medication out there. He has also been on diuretics but they had to be stopped because they were draining his system of potassium and water too much and he would cramp up in his legs and arms.
He is 6'3" weighs 225 and his BP is generally 160/100 on his medication. When he goes through periods of skipping medication because he's fed up with it his pressure goes even higher. We have tried the ACV 2 tbsp with 12 oz water twice a day and it is not working for him. His high blood pressure is hereditary both of his parents had it. It also has to do with salt because whenever he's not home and eats something processed which usually has high sodium content his pressure goes even higher. I don't believe salt is the only problem though otherwise when we changed his diet it should have helped more. He eats plenty of salads eats mostly chicken or fish. Drinks plenty of water. He is lactose intolerant so we use rice milk. He loves vegetables raw and steamed.
I am going to try the Cayenne Pepper but I have a question. Can you use the Cayenne Pepper seasoning that you buy in the supermarket in the baking aisle or does it have to be fresh? My supermarket does not have fresh cayenne pepper. Are the capsules better or does it make a difference? If anyone has anything else that they think might help, I'm open to suggestions."
04/29/2011: Gavin from Manganui, Northland, New Zealand replies: "I use the cheap cayenne from the spice isle and the effects are efficacious.. But with regards to high blood pressure... Seven cloves of garlic the first night six the second and so on down till two if you maintain at two cloves, the blood pressure should be normal along with the other health benifits this herb gives.. Sprinkle the chopped herb over food.. Take parsley for garlic breath!"

I recently discovered cayenne pepper, ive been taking it for a month now. I sprinkle it on everything, and i can't believe how great i feel. Not only is it great for cleaning out the bowel's, and reducing bloating, but i can't believe how much my blood pressure has reduced. I take my blood pressure reading's quite regularly.

I was rested and full of energy. Since then I take it usually before bed time. I wake up in the morning without awful bags under my eyes and my feet aren't swollen at all. I told about cayenne paper one of my clients who is over 2 years on chemotherapy. She decided to try it. Most difficult for that lady are mornings (blood pressure is about 50/80!). Guess what happened? After 20 min we checked and her blood pressure was 127/73! We didn't check again but for the next couple hrs which are usually most difficult to get through during the day, she was OK!

[YEA] 08/14/2007: Jennifer from Windsor, California: "Hi Karen, My mother occasionally experiences the same heartburn discomfort after taking ACV. She can't take it on an empty stomach and has to sip it slowly. She does take it every morning after breakfast diluted in 16 oz of filtered water. In regards to lowering blood pressure, she's had wonderful success with cayenne pepper. Do a search on Dr. Richard Schultz for lots more info. My Mom's doctor reduced her blood pressure med in half several months ago and my Mom hopes to be able to stop completely when she goes back in for her checkup in a couple of months. Besides eating well and taking the ACV and cayenne, she walks several miles 3 - 4 times a week."
[YEA] 01/07/2007: Daniel from Nelson, New Zealand: "This is really excellent stuff on here. I've used cayenne pepper for 15 years plus now along with a few other practices and be live it helps maintain my blood pressure within the normal range without having to alter my diet and life style to much. Can't wait to try out apple cider vinegar at least it wont be as pungent taken in a tea form like the cayenne. having said that, do not be put off cayenne as you can use capsules. It's great stuff!"
