Another blood pressure thread
Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2005 10:50 am
I've noticed that a lot of you are quite worried about your blood pressure. So many things can affect blood pressure readings. Your blood pressure can and will vary from one second to the next. While we all know that diet, exercise, weight management and genetics play the biggest role in blood pressure, there are literally tons of things that can affect it on a daily basis. I'm assuming most of you had your blood pressure taken by either a blood pressure machine or in a hospital/doctor's office. As I mentioned earlier, those blood pressure machines are hardly accurate. In fact, most of the time, they are WAY off. I wouldn't put too much stock into anything those machines tell you. The best way to have your pressure measured is with a BP cuff and stethoscope.
Things that can affect your reading? Hundreds of things, really. Caffeine will make it appear to be much higher than it should be. If you ran the day of your screening, that will affect it. Running elevates your metabolism, so trying to get a true BP reading on an elevated metabolism will give false readings. Even something as simple as an angry or negative thought can raise it quite high. Most people are already nervous as it is being in a doctor's office, so their BP measures higher than it truly is. Eating a heavy meal can cause it to spike as the heart tries to pump blood into the intestines to digest food. Drinking will elevate it. Smoking, obviously, will raise it. There are so many things that can give you a false reading.
The only way you're going to get a truly accurate reading is to have your own BP cuff and stethoscope and take it on an empty stomach with no chemicals in your system and when you're as peaceful as you can be. A 130/80ish reading in a doctor's office would probably be closer to a 120/72ish reading in a quiet, peaceful place like your home.

That's good information to have. I find it hard to distill that sort of practical info from the barrage of dire medical warnings that seem to be everywhere these days. It's a good thing that people are more aware of potential problems related to high cholesterol or blood pressure or what have you, but it's a little frustrating without knowing any of the details behind the warnings and how much it all really matters anyway.
At my last doctor's visit, he did not seem very concerned with any of my numbers even though there were borderline high according to established guidelines. That left me wondering why. Either it meant the guidelines were bogus, or there were some other mitigating factors in my case that he didn't bother to explain, or something. Either way it's not particularly confidence inspiring.
I did have a chance to test myself with a home BP monitor a few weeks ago while visiting my inlaws. It gave a higher reading consistent with the drug store's machine, and higher than what was read in the doctor's office. I still trust the doctor's reading more, especially since it was taken three times by two different people and trying both arms, but it's frustrating to see such variability in a number that the medical world attaches such importance to.

Don't get me started on modern medicine. LOL!
Blood pressure is an important measure of arterial functionality. It's also indicitive of cardiac function and can be predictive of heart efficiency. High blood pressure is usually indicitive of one or several things: reduced elasticity in the cardiac arteries, cardiac function (strength of heart muscle) or high BMI (obesity). Blood pressure is truly a measure of just how hard the heart is working to pump blood through the entire system. Higher blood pressures mean the heart is working harder to pump blood than lower blood pressures. So you don't want your heart having to work really hard to keep blood flowing throughout the system. Ideally you want it's job to be easy for it to handle.
Hardening of arteries can be attributed to many factors, but one very important factor is lack of vitamin C in the diet. Somewhere along the evolutionary cycle humans lost their ability to manufacture vitamin C, so they had to obtain it through the diet. Vitamin C is extremely important in the formation of collagen. Collagen just happens to be one of the main building blocks of human arteries. When there is a lack of vitamin C in the diet, arteries become soft and vunerable. With each beat of the heart, the artery must stretch and contract to allow blood to be forcefully ejected from the heart muscle. The average heart beats 72 times per minute, so the arteries are stretched and contracted a tremendous amount throughout day!!! That's quite a workload. When collagen cannot be formed properly due to lack of vitamin C (and other things), the arteries become very soft and permeable under all the stress. Obviously, this results in a life threatning situation. You cannot have blood leaking through the arterial walls, else you will die very quickly. So what does the body do? It has to fix the situation somehow or else face a quick death. What it will do is coat the arterial lesions with, yep you guessed it, cholesterol. This is the beginnings of corornary artery diesease. Without the necessary building blocks to reconstruct and maintain it's arteries, the body will use cholesterol to coat the inside surface of the arteries to prevent bleeding out and death.
Over time, the life saving cholesterol desposits on the artery walls will harden and reduce elasticity in the arteries, slowly turning that survival mechanism into a life threatning situation. Steps MUST be taken to ensure the body is getting the proper building blocks to maintain it's integrity and rebuild it's structures as needed.
Also know that synthetic vitamins, especially synthetic vitamin C is not a solution to this problem. Nearly 99.9% of the vitamins manufactured today are synthetic. Can you guess what they're made from? If you guessed petroleum (yes - OIL!), then you are correct! Scientists will argue that the molecular structure of the synthetic vitamin is identical to it's natural molecular structure. But your body knows better. You cannot dump petroleum down your throat and expect it to keep you in tip top shape. Vitamin C needs to be obtained from natural sources like lemons (citrus fruits), vegetables and most fruits in general.
Running is fantastic at keeping your cardiovascular system in tip top shape, but many runners make the mistake of thinking that their running is protective against everything, regardless of anything else. Not so. No matter what you do, you MUST give your body what it needs to survive and function properly. So do yourself a favor and eat a few pieces of raw fruit and veggies every single day of your life to help ensure you're getting everything you need to live a long, healthy life. :)

Great info, Machforce - thanks a million! Interesting facts on processed Vitamin C as well.
Unfortunately, my BP issues stem from genetics, hard core. Nearly everyone on my mother's side going back 4 generations has been hypertensive. Almost every time mine has been checked, at every level of rest and relaxation, empty stomach, even taken at home by a student nurse friend of mine, has ranged from 145-155 over 80-90. Of course, once things get tense, or I eat a large meal, or I run too hard for too long, things spike, which is why I was admitted 2 months ago into the hospital with a stifling 196/110.
Naturally, my doctor has offered no help whatsover save for to medicate me (gee, they loooove that, don't they?), so I've taken it into my own hands to stop caffeine, lower my sodium intake, up my natural Vitamin C consumption and stay incredibly hydrated, all the while, still on the meds. I also recently began studying massage therapy and am now in touch with several nutritionalists and homeopathic specialists fairly regularly, so I'll be tapping them for ideas as well.

Rustyboy, have you explained to your doctor that you'd like to explore other diet and exercise options before resorting to medication for your high blood pressure? He probably would be thrilled, but just figured that most people want the quick fix of a pill. If not, you could search out a specialist or simply another doctor who shares your values better.

Unfortunately nowadays most doctors are nothing more than stooges for the pharmaceutical industry. Medical schools teach absolutely nothing in regards to diet and exercise. You see, aside from emergency medicine, nearly ALL modern medicine centers on the treatment of symptoms, not disease or root causes of sickness. Have a headache? Take an aspirin. Have an upset stomach? Fill your gut up with Pepto or Nexium. Can't sleep? Take a pill. Can't stay awake? Take a pill. Have a runny nose? Here's an antibiotic. Coughing? Here's some syrup. Back pain? Here's some pain relievers. Can't focus? Take a pill. Your kids too obnoxious? Medicate them. Too fat? Here's a pill. It's absolutely ridiculous. Modern medicine never attempts to explore why someone is coughing or why someone can't sleep or why someone is obese. Symptoms are your body's way of telling you something is wrong. So why suppress symptoms if those are the warning signals? It's absurd, yet hardly anyone questions it. Why? Because we're taught from birth that doctors have our best interests in mind. News flash - they don't. Medicine is about just that - medicine. It's not about prevention of disease or treatment of the actual disease. It's about symptom suppression through chemicals. That's what drugs are - synthetic, man made chemicals.
Don't get me wrong, there are many doctors who are wonderful people and do attempt to help others, but lack the information to do so. They spent eight years of their lives being taught that there's a pill for virtually all ailments. Naturally when they get out in the world and see sick people they automatically recommend the only thing they know - medications. That doesn't mean they're bad people, they just don't know any better.
Health does NOT come from a pill or any synthetic man made chemical. I know some of you will say, 'well, I have high blood pressure or high cholesterol and it's genetic; there's not much I can do about it. When I take these pills my blood pressure/cholesterol drops...' Yes, that may be true. You can force your blood pressure down or your cholesterol down through the ingestion of chemicals, but there's some little known facts that the pharmaceutical giants work very hard to keep secret from you. Here they are: (1)Taking something like Norvasc will lower your blood pressure, but guess what? It doesn't lower morbidity. In other words, sure, it'll lower your blood pressure, but you won't live one minute longer than you otherwise would have, lower blood pressure or not. (2)Sure you can take a cholesterol lowering agent and it will, in fact, lower your total cholesterol (they also lower HDL and that's bad), but guess what? It will not lower your morbidity. In other words, you can lower your total cholesterol from taking synthetic chemicals, but it won't make you live one minute longer than you otherwise would have. In fact, most cholesterol lowering medications destroy your liver over time. Cholesterol is largely a myth and is ONLY partially predictive in younger adults. In other words, once you hit 50 years old, your chances of dying of heart disease actually GO DOWN the higher your cholesterol goes up. If you're a 51 year old male, statistics clearly show that if your cholesterol is low, you have a better chance of dying from heart disease. High cholesterol is only predictive of cardiac death in very young adults and even then it's a crap shoot.
Read this slowly: Statistics clearly show that over
heart attack deaths occur in people with total cholesterol readings BELOW 200. Read it again. Read it over and over and over and over. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. How can that happen? If total cholesterol was truly the best predictor of heart disease we have, then it's a poor one. If high total cholesterol was really the culprit of heart disease then statistics would not show half the people who die from heart disease/attacks have total cholesterol BELOW 200. That's simply a no-brainer.
It's not total cholesterol that's predictive, rather it's the ratio. A person could have a total cholesterol of 200, yet 175 of it could be LDL. That would put his/her ratio at extremely dangerous levels even though we're told that person isn't at a high risk. On the other hand, another person could have a total cholesterol reading of 300, yet have HDL of 125 (although rare) and that would put his/her ratio in the ultra-low risk category. Taking synthetic, man made chemicals lowers the entire reading, including HDL, which ultimately doesn't help your chances whatsoever. Placing emphasis on the total reading helps to sell pills that's why doctors really only focus on the one number. If you have a total cholesterol reading of 275, but 95 of it is HDL, then you have virtually NO risk for heart disease. Yet, if you're told that you do and duped into taking pills, the medication will lower the entire panel. Your HDL will go down and your ratio will go up. Congratulations, you've just increased your chances of getting CAD/Heart disease and you've started a degenerative process in your liver. That's why I cannot stress enough NEVER ever EVER focus on the total reading. Anytime you get your cholesterol taken, get the entire panel. Know what your LDL is; know what your HDL is; know what your triglycerides are; know what your ratios are!!! They are far more predictive than the total reading. NEVER get your cholesterol measured by the quick pinprick method because it doesn't break the reading down at all. After you get the results of your entire panel, then figure out what your options are. Don't let your doctor say, 'You're cholesterol is 250. We need to get you on some pills.' Know ALL the facts before swallowing anything.
The same can be said for blood pressure medications or ANY medications for that matter. Explore EVERY single option you can before swallowing anything. Don't just take advice at face value because it comes from someone in a white lab coat. Do your research. Ask questions. Find someone who knows what they're talking about and ask them. Always try to take your health into your own hands first. Nobody on earth cares as much about your health as you do. Trust me on that one.

No joke about docs being stooges for the pharmaceutical insustry: I had to refill my prescription yesterday for aggrenox and was told that my current insurance does not cover it. So what does this mean? I cough up $163/month for the medication. Screw that. I'm exploring natural solutions (acupuncture, dietary changes, etc) and solving the problems versus just slapping a bandage on them.
The main problem is though, when you're laid up in hospital and doctors are running barrages of tests on you because you've exhibited the symptoms of a mini stroke and can't find anything (and trust me, CT scan, MRI, echo-cardiograms, the whole works was put on me), then they hand you a prescription that they say will prevent this from happening again, you're stuck. It's a little like a mechanic to someone who knows nothing about cars: Want it to run? You pay me, I fix it, no questions. Finding someone you can trust is much more difficult than it would seem. I mean, as stated, doctors (for the most part) all have our best interests at heart but are completely misguided. So how do we know whom we can trust?

I am 53 yrs old and have high blood pressure. I have also been running off and on for 20yrs. The doctor has me on Lotensin, which causes me to have pounding heartbeats while running to the point I almost feel like passing out. When I stop running for 5 seconds, it goes away. Does anyone have a blood pressure medicine that causes very little side effects llike gastric, heart irregularities, impotence, etc?
What is a good medicine for runners with minimal problems?

Acupuncture works just as good as any of them for a good blood pressure... My dad used it in Vietnam during the war, and he said it did wonders...
My mom now also uses acupuncture for her blood pressure, and it also works better than modern medications... And it's a heck of a lot cheaper!

A man who stabbed a woman to death as they had sex could do it again when he is released from prison, a close friend of the victim has warned.
Laura Huteson, 21, died after Jason Gaskell, 24, deliberately held a knife to her neck while they were having sado-masochistic sex at his home in Hull, East Yorkshire, on February 27.
He was jailed for six years for gross negligence manslaughter, a sentence that left Laura's family devastated.
Now her close friend Paiige Harron, 18, has questioned the justice in his punishment and said she does not feel the family have been given closure.
Laura only met Gaskell on the day she was killed, the court heard during his trial.
He regularly engaged in 'bizarre and violent sado-masochistic sexual activity' and took 'risks during sexual intercourse' the court was told.Brits braced for bank holiday misery as UK set to be battered by blustery showers
Miss Harron said: 'When I heard Gaskell had only got six years I felt it let her family and friends down.
'What if he does something similar again during his sex games? The question we feel remains unanswered is why he had a knife under his pillow. That's what confuses us.
'A lovely little boy is now going to grow up without his mum while Gaskell could be out in three years and be able to get on with his life.
'I do not feel we have got closure following this court case. He deserved a longer sentence and should have walked away from the situation before it got out of hand.'
Miss Harron admitted family and friends were still coming to terms with what happened to Laura.Teenager, 17, charged with murder after man stabbed to death with screwdriver
She said: 'I have known Laura since primary school. It is still very raw for me and all her friends and family.
'We have grown up with her and we know her cousins really well. It is just so hard for all of us to cope with what has happened.
'Our world has been torn apart by what Gaskell has done and I'm sure if it was the other way round his family would want justice too.'
Miss Harron insists her friend will never be forgotten and will remain in her thoughts.
She added: 'We have to try and move on as best we can but the heartache will always be there and we will never forget Laura.
'I see her little boy around Hull and it breaks my heart to know that he will never have his mum around.
'Someday, someone will have to try and explain what happened to his mum but how can you tell him she was killed?'
In a heartbreaking statement released after Gaskell was jailed, Laura's family and her long-term partner, Benjamin Guy, said their lives would never be the same again.
They said: 'From the day she was taken our life hasn't been the same, nor will it ever be.
'We just can't help but feel angry towards the services that are out there to protect us when Laura was so massively let down.First picture of British hiker who died in freak accident near mountain peak
'Her life was taken, the police, the Crown Prosecution Service, the justice system, where are they?
'What message are they sending in their decisions to pursue manslaughter in the event of Laura's life being taken?
'Why is it fair the person responsible for taking Laura's life gets the chance to live again? Why is it us, the ones that love Laura that have to suffer?
'Why should we be left to carry this pain and this sadness and be made to watch him have a chance to rebuild a life again? Where is the justice in that?'

A riboswitch might sense magnesium levels in the cell
By HHMI,
Apr 12, 2006 - 1:06:37 PM
Magnesium, essential for energy-production and structural integrity, is critical to cell survival. Researchers have now found that cells use specialized segments of RNA called riboswitches to ensure that there is an adequate supply of the mineral. The newly described riboswitch can both sense magnesium levels and respond directly by regulating production of a magnesium transport protein.
Riboswitches are a recently discovered class of gene expression regulators. They control gene expression through a segment of messenger RNA (mRNA)the copy of a gene that is used to produce a proteinthat interacts with a target molecule to regulate its own translation into protein. Usually, the protein regulated by the riboswitch is part of the cellular machinery that regulates the levels of the target molecule.
In this case, the riboswitch lies on an mRNA that the cell uses to produce a transporter protein that carries magnesium into the cell. When the switch detects that magnesium has dropped to too low a level, it can boost the translation of the RNAmeaning the cell produces more of the transporter protein, thereby correcting the magnesium deficiency.
The discovery, which was described in an article published in the April 7, 2006, issue of the journal Cell, is important for two reasons, said Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Eduardo A. Groisman. First, the finding solves a biological puzzle about one of the cell's most importantalbeit underappreciatedsubstances, he said.
Every energy-producing reaction in the cell depends on magnesium as an accompanying cofactor for the cell's main energy molecule, ATP. Magnesium is also essential for the stability of the cell's membranes and its protein-producing ribosomes. Nevertheless, almost nothing was known about how the cell senses low magnesium levels, said Groisman, who is at the Washington University School of Medicine.
The finding also helps advance understanding of how riboswitches regulate gene expression, which is quite different from the more familiar regulation by proteins called transcription factors. The proteins that transport magnesium into the cellMgtA and MgtBhad been know for decades, Groisman said. And he and his colleagues discovered a decade ago that a regulatory system they called PhoP/PhoQ switches the genes for the transporters on or off in response to changing magnesium levels. But before this work, it wasn't suspected at all that a riboswitch might sense magnesium levels in the cell, Groisman said.
That mutation in the PhoQ protein should have rendered the cell unable to respond to low magnesium levels, but the transporter genes remained sensitive to fluctuations in the mineral, said Groisman.
So, the researchers decided to analyze in detail how the mRNA molecule for mgtA responded to magnesium, in hopes of discovering a basis for magnesium-sensing. To do so, they dissected the function of the components of the Salmonella bacterium's mRNA for mgtA by systematically altering those parts' function and observing the results.
Their studies revealed that a region at one end of the mRNA moleculewhich is not translated into the MgtA proteinresponded to levels of magnesium. A specific structure in this untranslated region, they showed, adopted different shapes depending on the level of magnesium in the bacterium.
In further studies, Groisman and his colleagues hope to understand in greater structural detail how the riboswitch senses magnesium levelspinpointing the particular part of the molecule influenced by magnesium. Also, he said, the researchers will seek to understand how this magnesium sensor applies the brakes on translation of the mRNA into the magnesium transporter protein, MgtA.

Braininnovations was created as a joint venture to integrate the very rapid developments in brain research and technology in order to create new treatments for intractable diseases. Braininnovations originated when the Belgian BRAI²N group (Brain Research center Antwerp for Innovative & Interdisciplinary Neuromodulation) joined forces with Delft University of Technology and the Neuroscience Department of the Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, both in the Netherlands. In an intensified bed-to-bench and bench-to-bed approach, Braininnovations bridges a gap in translational medicine by combining cutting edge technologies with the outcome of studies in neuroscience.

This based on facts film tells a story of young Welsh journalist Gareth Jones, who discovered the secret of the Great Famine in Ukraine. Stalin's policy in the 1930s resulted in death by starvation of about 4-5 mln people, which was consistently denied by the communists. Jones's investigation and subsequent publications not only brought the situation in Ukraine to the attention of the West, but they were also the source of inspiration for George Orwell's "Animal Farm". However, the young journalist paid for his determination with his life, most likely at the hands of NKVD.
The picture is directed by Agnieszka Holland ("Europa, Europa", "In Darkness", "House of Cards"), one of the most world-renowned Polish directors. The script was written by Andrea Serdaru-Barbul, an American journalist of Ukrainian origin. Tomasz Naumiuk ("Amok", "Being Like Deyna") is responsible for the cinematography. The production designer is Grzegorz Piątkowski ("Warsaw 44"), and the costume designer - Aleksandra Staszko ("Ida", "Demon").
"Apart from the tragedy of the Great Famine, the film shows the process of hiding the truth in the name of international political interests. Millions of people were dying out of hunger while Ukrainian cereals financed the construction of the communist empire. Our protagonist, Gareth Jones, stands alone to fight this lie, even for the price of his own life," says Stanisław Dziedzic, the producer of the film.
The protagonists are played by James Norton ("War and Peace", "McMafia") as the eponymous journalist, Vanessa Kirby ("The Crown") and Peter Sarsgaard ("Garden State", "An Education"). The cast includes Polish actors: Michalina Olszańska, Beata Poźniak and Krzysztof Pieczyński.
The filming of "Gareth Jones" has begun in February in Ukraine. At the beginning of April, the crew moved to Poland. Up till now, several filming days took place in Śląsk (Silesia) and Małopolska; the locations included among others the socialist realist Zagłębie Palace of Culture in Dąbrowa Górnicza, the monumental modernist Silesia Province Office in Katowice, Dietel Palace in Sosnowiec, and Pyskowice.
In Kraków, the filming took place at Wielopole and Zyblikiewicza streets, which are lined with distinctive modernist tenement houses standing in for Moscow. In turn, the interior of Kraków City Hall and the spectacular interior of the Goetz Palace in Brzesko played the Russian embassy in London and a British gentlemen's club.
"We are progressing according to the schedule, working in locations which fulfil our artistic expectations. The financial and logistic support which we have received from Małopolska, mainly from Kraków, was very important. The next production stage, in Silesia, is ahead of us, and we hope we will be equally satisfied. I have an impression that filmmakers are still relatively unfamiliar with Silesia, and the region has yet to surprise us in a very positive way," summarizes Stanisław Dziedzic.

Invasion of the Allergens
Well if the watery eyes, sneezing kids and pollen covered cars didn't clue you in… it's officially allergy season and the allergens are out in full swing! To help us make it through the season without locking ourselves indoors, Dr. Santhosh Kumar, a specialist in the pediatric allergy and immunology division at Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR), gives us a lesson in the basics of nasal allergies.What does the term allergy mean?Allergy is a condition where the body over-responds to a harmless substance. There are different types of allergies, although the basic underlying process is the same. When substances trigger an allergic response in the nose, we have nasal allergies. Other common types include food, drug and insect sting allergies.What are symptoms of nasal allergies?Common symptoms of nasal allergies include sneezing, runny nose, itchy/watery eyes, stuffy nose, nose bleeds, decreased sense of smell, headaches, fatigue and poor sleep. Other symptoms which can result from nasal allergies include sinus pressure, earaches, throat itching, post nasal drip (excess mucus in the back of the throat) and cough. Usually people have a combination of these symptoms.What are triggers for nasal allergies?Nasal allergies can be "triggered" by a variety of different allergens:
- Perennial allergies are allergies that occur throughout the year. These types of allergies are most commonly caused by something a person is exposed to year round. Common triggers for perennial nasal allergies include indoor allergens such as dust mites; dander (hair, feathers or skin) from cats, dogs, mice, rats and birds; roaches; and mold.
- Seasonal allergies (commonly called "hay fever") are allergies that occur during particular seasons. Children more frequently have seasonal allergies compared to adults. Common triggers for seasonal nasal allergies include outdoor allergens such as tree, grass and weed pollen and outdoor mold. Keep in mind that outdoor allergens can be found in significant quantity indoors in some homes.
Who is affected by allergies?Anyone can be affected by allergies but the likelihood of a child developing an allergy increases if one or both parents have allergies. The influence of the environment can also cause an allergic condition to start in a person.It typically takes at least two seasons for a child to develop an allergic response to outdoor allergens. So, nasal allergies are most often seen in children age 2 and older. There are exceptions, however, as children can become sensitized earlier to indoor allergens if they are significant and both parents are allergic. Usually a child with allergies develops eczema, then over the next year or two develops nasal allergies, and maybe eventually asthma. It is important to recognize and treat allergies at the earliest possible stage with the hope of preventing this progression.Who can help with allergies?If you think your child has allergy symptoms, request a referral from your primary care doctor to see an allergist for evaluation. An allergist will be able to identify triggers for your child's allergy and offer allergen avoidance measures and also medications, depending on the need. Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR) offers a wide variety of services to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of allergies. From skin testing to identify particular allergens, to immunotherapy treatment for severe allergies, CHoR's allergy specialists can discover exactly what your child reacts to and tailor the necessary treatment to their specific needs.To keep track of allergens and avoid severe days, pollen counts can be found at aaaai.org and on local news stations or The Weather Channel.

Last Brexit Conference: "Here We Are Again"
The chief Brexit negotiators for the UK and EU, David Davis and Michel Barnier, held their last press conference today, following the fifth round of Article 50 negotiations, amidst speculation that the talks have reached a stalemate. The negotiations are circling around the contested issue of money and patently, the EU wants the UK to pay in order to talk trade. However, the UK cannot possibly agree to pay for something that hasn't been agreed yet.
The press conference took place before the EU summit next week where the 27 leaders are expected to agree on the failure of the Brexit negotiations and the insufficient progress which has made it impossible to move to discussions over trade.
Labour has called for a new round of emergency Brexit talks after today's "deadlock." Sir Keir Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary, has written an open letter to David Davis asking the government to call for new discussions with the EU. He wrote: "I am deeply concerned that more than six months on from the triggering of article 50 this round of discussions has ended without an agreement, with the European Union warning of a 'disturbing deadlock' over the divorce settlement. It now looks likely that the EU council next week will not be able to agree negotiations have proceeded sufficiently to open up trade talks." The deadlock, he said, increased the risk of Britain leaving the EU without a deal, which would be "catastrophic" for jobs and living standards.
Barnier's statement
Barnier began with a positive message. He said that "decisive progress" was within reach, since further talks in the next two months might bring the two sides closer. Even Michel Barnier's deputy, Sabine Weyand, tweeted the aforementioned statement as a key moment in Barnier's speech.
Barnier welcomed May's Florence speech which "has given these negotiations much needed momentum." The past week was constructive but "without making any great steps forward," he said. He reiterated that achieving and remaining faithful to the three objectives of protecting citizens' rights, preserving the peace process between Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland and honouring the commitments taken at 28, was the cornerstone of the negotiations. These objectives make up the condition for "engaging in a discussion, as soon as possible, on a new ambitious, long-lasting partnership."
At the moment, he said that the two objectives on citizens' rights were the withdrawal agreement taking effect to guarantee the rights of all citizens in the long term and the similar interpretation of these rights in both the EU and UK. Barnier said that the European Court of Justice remained important in its role to oversee and protect citizens' rights. For the EU, it's important that every European citizen in the UK and every British citizen in the EU has the right to bring his/her parents to the country that they live and work, or any EU citizen working for 20 years in the UK is able to move to an EU member State and benefit from his disability allowance, as would a British citizen in the EU.
On the issue of the financial agreement, Barnier said that Theresa May's commitment during her Florence speech to honour the UK's financial obligations during the period of its EU membership, was taken as an important declaration by the EU. However, technical discussions didn't clarify this commitment, and Barnier stressed that "We, are therefore, at a deadlock on this question." This was "worrying for European taxpayers and those who benefit from EU policies," he added.
He concluded that he was unable to "recommend to the European Council next week to open discussions on the future relationship." He clarified that the question wasn't about making "concessions," but about sharing obligations and objectives, and finding "shared solutions."
David Davis' speech
Brexiteer and negotiator Davis, retained his positivity and praised the constructive talks and the shared political objectives of the UK and EU. Although there was still work to be done, he said progress has been significant since June. He agreed that there was more certainty on citizens' rights and that the past week saw the two sides discussing in depth such issues as those relating to the right to bring in future family members, exporting a range of benefits, enjoying the recognition of professional qualifications, and voting in local elections.
Davis highlighted that the most productive area of this week's discussions was that on citizens' rights and being able to reassure EU citizens living in the UK. He said: "today I can confirm that we want to reassure those European citizens living in the UK that their rights and status will be enshrined in UK law by the Withdrawal Agreement. And yes, there will be a registration process but the administration process will be completely new. It will be streamlined, and it will be low cost. And in addition to that any EU citizen in the UK already in possession of a permanent residence card will be able to exchange it simply for settled status in a simple way. They will not have to go through the full application process again." He clarified that he would set out his position on citizens' future rights in a statement that could be shared with the EU27. Both EU and UK citizens would have similar guarantees, Davis explained.
Davis recognised that they were "making real and tangible progress," without forgetting "the fact that to provide certainty we must talk about the future." But, while trade and money are being talked about, no progress or agreement seems to have been made, despite Theresa May's speech in Florence. As European Council president Donald Tusk said, any talks for a trade deal would not come until December, while Barnier reminded the UK that "No deal will be a very bad deal."

Arab Stallion
Horse figurines are a long lasting tradition for Augarten. Indeed, ever since the manufactory´s inception in 1718, the grace and elegance of horses has inspired many porcelain formers. This powerful yet simultaneously delicate and extremly intricate arab stallion is the perfect illustration of such work. Masterfully crafted it gives the illusion of a horse about to crack out of it's porcelain shell to run wild.
Size: 29 cm; 0.71 kg
Design: Prof. Herbert Schwarz, 1961

I have learned many things over the past almost 7 weeks that my son has been on this planet. Many of these epiphanies are life changers. Example? How is it possible for me to love this tiny human being so damn much?? Less philosophic, yet still life changing is how little time I have for myself. Everything I do feels like a race to finish in order to focus on Chico. I shovel meals into my mouth with lightening speed or eat just enough to not feel ravenous. I shower with a quickness that is almost dangerous to my personal safety. And as far as any sort of beauty regime goes - seriously forget about it. Gone are the days of deciding to get a mani/pedi on a whim. Getting my hair cut and colored? Not happening either - that's a process that one must have at least 3-4 hours set aside for. I don't even sleep 3-4 hours straight at night anymore.
Pre-baby I always found getting manis/pedis to be a rather affordable way to feel like I was doing something nice for myself. I started to get bummed out thinking that I may never be able to get one again. Painting my own nails isn't the same. I do a decent job, but for some reason it never lasts and I end up looking like a 5 year old who has halfway peeled off her Tinkerbell bubble gum scented nail polish.
During a Target spree yesterday I spotted these "Essie Sleek Sticks." I picked up these pretty pewter colored ones with tiny diamond bubbles on them.
I had tried Sally Hansen Nail Polish Strips in the past and really like them so I was stoked to try the Essie version because it's my favorite kind of nail polish.
If you haven't tried them before they are super easy. You stick them on, file off the excess sticker, done, boom. Here's a video on how to apply them if you are need a visual. This girl puts clear polish too, but I don't find that to be necessary.
Here's why this is going to be my new "go-to" manicure solution until I can sneak away and get a real mani/pedi:
1) It's a crazy fast process to complete. 2) No smells/toxins around baby. 3) No wet polish to get all over baby when you have to stop and pick up your crying infant mid-mani. 4) It lasts for a really long time - no chipping the next day like my hand jobs normally do (Haha - get it? Hand job! Geez I'm tired.)
Can't wait to try more Essie Sleek Sticks. Although there are not as many color/design options as Sally Hansen I find them to be more sophisticated and less juvenile. Some of the Sally Hansen stickers look like Claire's Boutique threw up on them.
I know there will come a day when I will have the time to get a quick mani/pedi, but for now I am still learning how to manage my time between Chico and... well.. everything else.

Weekly Home BlessingPosted in Weekly Home Blessing
1 Corinthians 14:33
"For God is not a God of disorder but of PEACE"
It's that time again. Where do the weeks go?
You can see my Weekly Home Blessing goals HERE.
Will you be blessing your home?
Leave me a comment and let me know.
My goal is to get it all done, but who knows? My youngest is feeling much better and starting to get into mischief once again. He still requires lots of down time to rest so I don't know from moment to moment if I'll be doing my chores, chasing after "Dennis the Menace" or sitting down for a nice, long cuddle.
I need to make a grocery store trip, too. I try to do that on Tuesday but I'm not sure when I'll get to go this week. Tuesday "D" has speech and we usually go after that, but I don't really want him out and about until he's a bit stronger. My daughter "J" has to go to the doctor on Wednesday and since I'll already be out that day, I may switch my Tuesday Errand Day to a Wednesday Errand Day. The only problem with that is I'm starting to feel the walls closing in on me and I am wanting to get out for a bit. I guess I'll just take it day by day and see what happens.

On a usual day, our drivers are finished by about 3pm. If you've not had your flowers by then, do give us a call and we can check in with your driver.
n some parts of the UK our flowers are delivered by DPD. Their time frame can be between 9am and 9pm and you should receive a text message giving a 1 hour time slot. Do give us a ring if you think something's up.
