Christmas Music Radio Station Kansas City 2011

In case any of you were out there wondering where the Christmas music radio station in Kansas City has moved to, it is at 105.5 FM on your radio dial.

That's right, all roads eventually lead to St. Joseph, Missouri for some reason and this year's Christmas music radio station is no exception, you can listen to all of your favorite hits on KJO 105.5 FM. I guess the ad revenues weren't adding up for 102.1 FM and this year they are not doing the Christmas music. So tune into KJO 105.5 FM and turn any room or car into Christmas before your very eyes :)

Merry Christmas from your friends at Kansas City News!

Christmas Carol Repertory Theatre Kansas City

Christmas is in full swing in Kansas City as the frantic last minute shopping begins, people are flying around recklessly in their vehicles trying to pick up the kids, get the groceries, plan the dinner, wrap up last minute business at the office, and CRAM it all in by Friday. We, here at Kansas City News, have been doing all of those things as well, but on Thursday night December 22nd, we are going to treat ourselves to a night of theatre, taking in Kansas City Repertory Theatre's production of "A Christmas Carol" at the Spencer Theatre. This revamped and modernized version of the classic play stars local veteran of the stage Gary Neal Johnson, who went to Center High School and performed in plays with other local Kansas City dance and acting standouts like Kathleen Bowen, who performed with the Betty Tilletson School of Dance, performing in shows at the Lyric Theatre among others.

A Christmas Carol - A Special Performance, will run through December 26th, 2011 and tickets are still available for performances.

Here is a blurb from the Kansas City Repertory Theatre about A Christmas Carol:

Last season for the 30th anniversary production of A Christmas Carol the Rep gave the venerable holiday show a new look and feel, while staying true to Dickens’ Victorian London sensibilities about hope, redemption and the meaning of Christmas which The Pitch magazine described as “a feast of a holiday show!” The new turntable set, special effects and audience interaction all return this year, along with a cast of Kansas City’s favorite veteran and up-and-coming actors, led by everyone’s favorite Scrooge, Gary Neal Johnson. You will also experience a few additional surprises in the 2011 production of Kansas City’s favorite holiday entertainment. "Combines the familiar and the new into a compelling tale!" – Kansas City Star

Appropriate for All Ages.

Chiefs Packers 2011 Chiefs Break Packers Win Streak

Cost of your POSER, BANDWAGON RIDING Aaron Rodgers jersey = $42.00
Tickets to Arrowhead today = $100.00 +
Getting beer poured on you by Chiefs fans who can kick your ass = humiliation

Watching your team get their ASSES KICKED by the CHIEFS = PRICELESS!

Sorry to all of you poser bandwagon Green Bay Packers fans out there, but your team officially sucks. The Chiefs ROUT the Packers today 19 - 14 in a game that revealed that the Packers are not even going to make it past round 1 in the playoffs. The Chiefs easily walked all over the Packers today as Romeo Crennel coached the Kansas City Chiefs to victory over the lucky and somehow undefeated Packers. The Chiefs ended the Packers win streak today. Done.

Once again, the Chiefs dominate on defense, stuffing Aaron Rodgers on every down. The Packers were unable to move the ball at all, and lost miserably at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs started quarterback Kyle Orton, who got his first win as a Chief as he led the team to a seamless victory over the hapless Packers. The Chiefs hogged the game clock, keeping the ball in their possession for well over half of the game. Today was a great showing by the Chiefs offensive line, who up until today have been severely lacking. Kyle Orton was able to sit back in the pocket and complete passes to Steve Breaston, Dwayne Bowe, and added to a total of 438 total yards on offense. The Packers were pathetic for the entire game, and the spineless Packers fans who were in attendance at Arrowhead were stuffed and stifled early and often as the Chiefs marched right over them. Hopefully the Chiefs fans were pouring plenty of beer on the poser Packers fans as they watched their team get pummeled by the mighty Chiefs. This game reminded us of the Pittsburgh Steelers game a few years ago after they won the Super Bowl and they came into Arrowhead with all of the poser fans wearing Rothlesburger (don't care if we spelled his stupid name right or not - he's not even worth Googling to find out) and the Chiefs stomped the crap out of the Steelers that day.

Go home Packers fans, your team is officially done. But thanks for playing. And, you suck.

Lower Blood Pressure - Naturally and Medically

Many sources are in disagreement about how to lower blood pressure. Some sources will tell you that you should engage in methods to lower blood pressure naturally, and others (and definitely doctors) will tell you that you need to lower your blood pressure with medication. We conducted a study that shows that both can work together to lower blood pressure.

In a one month study, we engaged in the following methods to lower a 40 year old male's blood pressure. This person's blood pressure had been about 150 / 100 for at least 5 years. His doctor did not put him on medication right away and suggested exercise, diet and lifestyle changes to reduce stress in order to lower blood pressure naturally. No specific dietary items were mentioned, nor were any pamphlets etc. given to the patient.

When the patient's blood pressure continued to register 150 / 100 at doctor visits, at the age of 40 the patient was prescribed 10 mg of Lisinopril to attempt to medically control his high blood pressure. Lisinopril is the most popular blood pressure medication prescribed in the USA currently, and varies in dosage from 5 mg up to 80 mg per day. The patient started taking the Lisinopril and noticed that his blood pressure dropped to around 105 / 71 and he was feeling dizzy during the day. At night his blood pressure would return to a higher level of around 130 / 92, perhaps when the Lisinopril was wearing off. And after a few weeks of taking Lisinopril, the patient's blood pressure would stay at a fairly constant 140 / 92 as if the patient's body was not being affected by the medication as much.

There is no information available about the length of the effects of Lisinopril during a given 24 hour period except that it was noted in some medical studies that tests showed high blood pressure in patients just before their next daily dosage of Lisinopril was to be taken. In our study, we concluded that a person must take a daily dosage of Lisinopril on a consistent basis for as long as 3 months before positive results manifest, OR the patient's blood pressure went down due to the introduction of a non-medical treatment for high blood pressure at the same time. This is the method that was used to lower blood pressure naturally in this article.

The patient, after taking Lisinopril for 2 months, noticed a slight drop in blood pressure, but it remained around 127 / 93 (bottom number remained high throughout) during the 2 months with only medical treatment. Then, during the 3rd month (where we started the study), the patient began adding non-medical treatment along with taking 10 mg of Lisinopril each day. The following things were added to the patient's medical treatment:

Step 1. A daily glass of "mean green", which is the juice made famous by the movie "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". The recipe for mean green from the movie is simple; in a good quality juicer (our patient used the Jack Lalanne's Power Juicer available at any WalMart - do NOT put in dish washer) and juice in the following ingredients:

4 leaves of Kale (all of these ingredients can be found at WalMart)
4 Stalks of Celery
2 Green Apples
1/2 of a Cucumber
1/2 of a Lemon
1 inch of fresh raw Ginger

Step 2. Now, here is where we gave this recipe a twist to help lower blood pressure. While drinking this glass of mean green juice, EAT ONE CLOVE OF RAW GARLIC. Just take little bites of the garlic clove, then IMMEDIATELY put some juice in your mouth as you chew the garlic clove entirely until it is pulp, then swallow. The garlic clove should be fresh and should feel similar to eating a raw Jalapeno pepper if it is fresh, thus you will need to keep some mean green juice going in your mouth while you chew the bites of garlic.

Please note: both the mean green juice and the garlic clove must be prepared and eaten within 1 hour. Do not mix up a batch of mean green juice and put it in your refrigerator for later, you must make the juice just before you plan to drink it, and you must only peel the garlic clove just before you plan to eat it. Vegetables and juices lose nutrients every minute that they are exposed to air and thus become "dead food", and garlic cloves lose almost all nutritional value after just 45 minutes of being peeled.

Step 3. Finally, what we all dread, the patient began to do at least 20-30 minutes of cardio exercise each day. This is the hardest part for most people, but it has to be done.

After combining the three steps:

1. Take Lisinopril 10 mg each day at the same time
2. Drink one glass of mean green juice and eat a raw garlic clove
3. Put in 20-30 minutes of cardio exercise daily

Our patient lowered his blood pressure to a nice 118 / 75 - we took measurements all throughout the day, and they remained constant. Great results! Please note that Kansas City News is not a medical source, nor are we doctors or medical professionals. This was just an experiment that happened to work to lower blood pressure naturally AND medically at the same time with positive results so we though it was worth sharing.

Troops Welcomed Home to Kansas City

As thousands of troops are arriving home to Kansas City, their families are gathering to greet them and looking forward to celebrating the holidays together as a family. Some soldiers have been in Iraq for over 3 years, others have been serving on and off for the last 9 years doing tours of 1-3 years at a time. Upon running for office, Obama promised to bring American troops home by December 31st, 2011. At this time 17,000 American troops are scheduled to stay in Iraq to man 7 US bases and assist in the departure of the remaining troops returning home during the next month.

In addition to the troops that will remain in Iraq to man the US bases, 740 "trainers" will also remain to assist in training Iraqi civilians in weapons technology and other military tactics. Officials in Iraq told reporters that most of the "trainers" that remain in Iraq are actually weapons dealers and not military at all.

The local news will be televising several heart felt moments as troops return home to Kansas City and their families over the next few weeks. It will be great to have our troops home in time for the holidays and we are very grateful for their services in Iraq. The return of the troops signifies the end of the "war" or whatever you want to call it in Iraq and Iran, and what we accomplished was at the very least sending a message that the USA is not to be harassed and we, here at Kansas City News, stand by what George Bush started after 9/11, sending the entire world a message that the USA will not just stand around with their hands in their pockets after we are attacked. We will COME AND GET YOU. Be assured of that. Other countries prefer more liberal views and stand around doing nothing while other countries take land from them, and take over their governments, but not the USA - we stand up for our country and we are proud of our military who will strike down upon any enemy that poses a threat to the United States.

Troops will be returning from Iraq to Kansas City by the hundred for the next few weeks as we get ready to celebrate the holiday season.
