We Should Listen to Mike Tice

Its time that we listen to minnesota Vikings head Coach mike Tice and take him at his word. He asked us early in the season to reserve judgment until the end of the year. He told us that if he failed then it was on his shoulders.When Tice took over as head coach three years ago we were all led to believe that he had all the ingredients necessary to do well.

mike Tices Vikings arent any better today then they were three years ago. mike Tice has made the playoffs one time and that was last year. mike Tice has a combined win/loss record of 31-33.

It seems as though every time Tices team takes a step forward, they take five steps backward.

So we should take Tice at his word. We must listen to him and hold him accountable for his actions. mike has failed once again and I dont feel that there are any reasons that he should be given another chance.

If Tice had the character and could instill values into his players then I might have a different opinion. His team had off the field scandals from Onterio Smiths Whizzinator incident to the Vikings Boat scandal.Then there was Tices scalping incident. mike Tice scalped super Bowl tickets and was caught. The nfl fined him $100,000. Tice blew the incident off and considered it a minor infraction. Very few people are fined as much as $100,000 for a first time offense. Obviously the nfl considered his actions to be serious enough to warrant such a stiff penalty.

mike Tice says that he shouldnt be held accountable for his players actions. This is nonsense.I dont think that his players respect him. How can he command any respect when he broke an nfl rule?How can he demand that his players respect rules and laws. How can he demand that they conduct themselves in a respectful manner on and off the field?

The answer is that mike Tice cant command respect and he cant demand that his players follow the rules. There are a number of coaches in the nfl that demand more from their players on and off the field. These coaches wont put up with the type of behavior that was exhibited by Vikings players this year.

mike Tice also has a big mouth and has been known to yell at fans and call them stupid when he disagrees with their criticism.

I just cant see any logical reason why mike Tice should keep his job. I do feel that people should do their best to keep their word and when they ask us to judge them based on the results of their actions, we should listen to them.

mike Tice asked us to judge him based on his success or failure with the Vikings this season. He asked us to wait until the end of the season to judge him.With Sundays loss to the baltimore ravens, the Vikings season ended in failure. The Vikings will not be playing in the playoffs.

I hope that Vikings ownership doesnt give him too much credit for his winning streak. That winning streak came against some of the worst teams in the nfl. When his team faced tough opponents they stunk up the field.

Its definitely time for the Vikings to start a new era with a new coach.

Structure Your Lifestyle for Maximum Health

I dont know of any part of the human anatomy or the anatomy of any living organism for that matter that is not designed for maximum efficiency and performance.

The scientific wording for this is: Structure Governs Function

For example;

The skull is a powerful protector of the most important organ in the body the brain.

The ears are angled to access acoustic vibrations.

The eyes discern colour and are best suited for gazing long distances.

The nose warms, filters and humidifies the air we breathe before it reaches the lungs.

The oral structure has some amazing functions from lip smacking and sucking to chewing, swallowing and digestion.

The structure of the spine allows for:

-stretching

-flexing

-bending

-twisting/torquing and

-rotation

The joints of the limbs allow for walking, climbing, running, reaching

The hands and fingers wellwhat more can we say other than the finger-thumb opposition sets us above all other animals.

We are an amazing piece of work.

We don't even have to know how all the parts work but we can be confident that all parts work for the whole.

The prime directive within each organism is to maintain its integrity at all costs.

To this end, each cell in the body adheres to the basic laws of biology, viz

- Response
- Reproduction
- Repair

The body responds to all stimulations, be they physical, chemical or electrical.

Each cell is capable of reproducing itself through the constant metabolic pattern of anabolism and catabolism.

And lastly, the body has an inbuilt program of repair - it heals itself and goes through cycles of detoxification when necessary.

This is the manner in which the body is structured and these are the means by which it communicates with itself.

All the best in structuring your lifestyle for better health.

Different Types of Headaches

Close to 90% of the population will suffer from some type of headache during the year. The good news is that about 95% of all headaches are just that - headaches - in that they are not caused by some type of underlying condition. Only about 5% of all headaches fall under the category of secondary, meaning that they are caused by another condition such as sinusitis, meningitis, brain tumors, etc.

Tension headaches account for about 85% of all headaches. Pain usually centers around the back of the neck and on the scalp, and is generally considered mild to moderate. Contrary to popular belief, men and women suffer from tension headaches at an equal rate, and the pain can last for just a few hours or up to a full day.

Migraine headaches are the second most common primary headache, and they affect women more often than they do men. Pain ranges from mild to debilitating, and often is concentrated on one side of the head, sometimes behind the eye, although the pain can shift from side to side. Symptoms can also include changes in vision, such as seeing spots, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. If headaches occur frequently, it is advisable to seek professional help, as over the counter medications are often not effective in targeting these types of headaches.

The least common and most painful type of primary headache is the dreaded Cluster. The name is appropriate since the pain occurs in clusters that can last for a few minutes to a few hours, at least once a day for several weeks/months, often at the same time of day. Men are affected more often than women, and those who smoke and/or drink heavily are at greater risk. Symptoms of cluster headaches are unusual as well and include red, watery or swollen eyes, facial swelling and nasal congestion. Cluster headaches also have a tendency to strike a few hours into one's sleep.

There are many different "triggers" for headaches, ranging from environmental factors such as weather and air quality, foods, food additives and posture. Since it can be difficult to determine the cause of your headaches, it might be useful to keep a headache journal. Note the time of day your headache begins, the duration, any pain relievers taken, what you ate, where you were and what you were doing.

Meanwhile, an easy fix is simply to ensure that you are maintaining proper posture both during the day and at night. Poor posture for even brief periods can directly result in headaches and related problems.
