Brett Favre's come-ons to massage therapists weren't limited to the two women with the New York Jets. Stephanie Dusenberry, an independent masseuse in Eden Prairie, Minn., who has worked with a number of Vikings players, claims that Favre sent her innuendo-laden text messages last September. She contacted the police for advice on how to handle the situation.
Dusenberry reached out to Deadspin earlier this month with this garbled message sent from her Blackberry on Jan. 4. The typos are prominent; her auto-correct changed Brett to Brent:
I am writing to inquire about who I need to.contact to purse legal action against Brent Favre. I am a massage therapist.in MN and worked for the Viking the 2006 season and then started my own business"Therapist of Pro Athletes" in 2007 and have.continued to.work with.several players since. I received a.text.from a Hattisburg.MS phone number saying this is Brent.with the.Vikings. do you have time to work on.me tonight? No hurry.I'm alone. I told him I would not.come to his house and he said you don't.know what.its.like to not be touched by a woman for three weeks, come over and no one needs to know. I called the.Eden prairie police dept and filed a report immediately. Any help or guidance you could give me.would be appreciated.
Stephanie Dusenberry
From there, we had multiple phone conversations with Dusenberry. Initially, she was willing to go public with her information. She'd come forward, she explained, because of the NFL's light punishment of Favre over the Jenn Sterger allegations, and she was now seeking an attorney to help her. "Because if we keep fighting them," she said, "maybe players will think before they act on [inappropriate texts]."
Some background: Dusenberry worked for the team under Vikings head trainer Eric Sugarman in 2006-07 but left the organization to go independent soon after. She maintained good relationships with several players, including Chester Taylor and quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, some of whom she worked with this past season. At some point in the past two years, Dusenberry began to receive unwelcome advances from a number of current and former players on the Vikings. She had problems both in session and out of session with former Vikings defensive back Dwight Smith, wide receiver Aundrae Allison, and back-up running back Albert Young. She says that Young, while inquiring about her one-on-one massage services, sent her this photo via text message:
(Note the tattoo above and in this photo.)
Dusenberry asked Sugarman to get her permission before passing out her number to players.
It's worth noting that Dusenberry did what the Jets' massage therapists did not: She raised the issue with her superior, Sugarman. We contacted him by phone at his training center in Eden Prairie. He refused to comment about Dusenberry's allegations and referred all inquiries to the Vikings' vice president of legal affairs and chief administrative officer, Kevin Warren. Warren's office fielded our request for comment and shuffled it off to the Vikings' vice president of public affairs and stadium management, Lester Bagley, who passed along this odd response:
"We do not comment on individuals who may or may not work for us."
In late summer, Dusenberry says, another player asked if he could pass along her number to Brett Favre. Favre contacted her from a phone number with a Mississippi area code: (601) 467-9029. It's now disconnected.
Dusenberry was a fan of Favre's and eager to work with such a high-profile client. Unfortunately, the texts from Favre veered into the sort of creepy banter she'd gotten from other players. "I was crying, " she says. "I was so disappointed." Dusenberry points out that Favre's texts were similar to the ones he allegedly sent the Jets' massage therapists, asking her to stop by his home because his wife was away ("you don't know what it's like to not be touched by a woman in three weeks"). Her boyfriend, Tim Mears, was there when she received the texts and became angry. "You're not going to go beat up Bret Favre," she told him. Dusenberry didn't save the texts but says she is trying to obtain her cell phone logs. (Mears didn't return our call.)
Favre persisted, however, and she responded that the texts were making her uncomfortable and that she was going to contact the police. Favre, she says, began to apologize and insist "it's not like that." In early September, she contacted Jerrad Biggar of the Eden Prairie police department. As Dusenberry remembers it, she mentioned Favre specifically and asked for advice about what to do. Biggar, according to Dusenberry, told her that Favre wasn't doing anything legally wrong and that the police couldn't do anything beyond calling the quarterback and telling him to stop bothering her.
Biggar, for his part, remembers having a conversation with a Vikings massage therapist this fall, but doesn't recall Dusenberry's name or any mention of Favre. He never made a report, either. "She seemed annoyed," he says. "She was just looking for advice on how to handle the situation with someone calling her, and that's as far as I went. I said that if she wanted me to call whoever was calling, I'd call and ask them to stop. ... I assumed it was a Vikings player we were talking about. She wouldn't go into any information on that. You can tell she was a little guarded with that information." (Dusenberry says Biggar is lying and that their entire conversation was explicitly about Brett Favre.)
Whether or not he was doing anything illegal, this latest represents the third (or fourth) set of allegations that Favre has sent lewd texts to contract employees of his own team — the sort of pattern of behavior the NFL, during its investigation of Jenn Sterger's claims, went to great lengths to avoid identifying. Dusenberry wasn't surprised by any of the allegations made by the two Jets therapists. You expect players to hit on you, she explains. "It comes with the territory," she says. "Not all of them do it — but many do." Due to the "independent" nature of the massage therapists' jobs and the fact that unwanted advances are virtually accepted as an occupational hazard, most of this behavior goes unreported, and players are rarely, if ever, disciplined. Favre was certainly not unique in his approach, as Dusenberry noted. I'm sure other therapists have similar stories to tell.
After our initial conversations, Dusenberry requested that all further questions be handled by her attorneys, Bill Michael and Jon Hopeman. They won't comment on the allegations and now claim that their client's conversation with us was strictly confidential (it wasn't). The NFL isn't talking either, says spokesman Greg Aiello: "I haven't heard anything about this, won't comment on it, don't plan on looking into it at this time, and probably won't comment on it until necessary." Bus Cook, Favre's agent, did not return a call for comment.
Favre filed retirement papers yesterday. He's a changed man, a source says. He is fully committed to moving on from his NFL life and being a good family man. His text messages to friends and former teammates alike, we're told, now contain Bible verse.

Here is the thing about Spider-Man: It's pretty easy to find good Spider-Man comics that fit the platonic ideal of Spider-Man ("With great power comes great responsibility"+ Peter Parker's crappy luck + girl problems + goofy super-villains + wisecracks = Standard-Issue Spider-Man Story).
The problem comes when writers decide to break out of the mold and try something a little different than what Spider-Man's used to. Sometimes you get an undisputed classic ("Kraven's Last Hunt," which is fricking amazing, but feels almost 0% like a "standard" Spidey story).
A lot more often, that's when you get things like The Clone Saga, where Peter's entire LIFE was (for a while) a lie, and he was fighting weird mystical cults and magic people with backstories-to-be-filled-in-later, and …
Yo, I was there. Peter Parker got so stressed over that story he backhanded pregnant Mary Jane and even decided not to even be Peter Parker for a while, "Only The SPIDER!" (more…)

I travel everywhere with my own teaching "library" and I have found that it comes in really handy to be able to supplement the often stale curriculum. I like to bring 1cent stamps from my home country to give to students. Cheap, light, of great interest to children and adults. I also bring photos of things as well as people. Sort of like a day in life of me scrapbook. This is me in my kitchen. This is my car parked in front of my house. My office in Canada. My cat.

Instead she pointed me to the security guard, so I went to him and explained with a lot of hand motions what I needed. Then this guy yelled across the store full of ladies EL QUIERE PRESERVATIVOS!!!

• WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Saturday
• WHERE: Victoria Fine Arts Center, 1002 Sam Houston Drive, Victoria
• FOR INFORMATION: Contact the Victoria Symphony at 361-576-4500.
Close your eyes.
Now, imagine two beautiful women weaving their svelte figures around a cold, metal pendulum. As the circular 3-foot contraption spins and flips and the duo balances its weight perfectly, you begin to wonder, is this real?
The quickened tempo of music jumping off the string and brass instruments of the orchestra cause the room to rumble and your senses to heighten - the performance is alive.
Cirque de la Symphonie will premiere its Duo Pendulum on Saturday to the jumping rhythm of "Capriccio Espagnol" to help celebrate the 40-year anniversary of Victoria Symphony.
"You cannot only hear the music," performer Christine Van Loo said, "but you feel it coming up through you."
Loo, who's choreographed performances for the likes of Britney Spears, Ricky Martin and No Doubt, will execute the new act with her partner, Shana Lord, at the show.
Bill Allen, co-owner of the cirque, said the company has been working on the pendulum performance for about a year.
"This is going to be one of the biggest acts we'll have in our production," he said. "This will be the very first time in cirque history that it's been performed. We wanted to bring something new to Victoria."
Adapted from some of the best cirque acts performed on a stage, Cirque de la Symphonie takes the carnie underground world of aerial flyers, acrobats, contortionists and jugglers and blends their dimensional movements to the soundtrack of orchestra legends.
However, the creme de la creme of the night belongs to an aerial act performed by Loo and Broadway artist Alexander Streltsov.
The romantic, aerial ballet begins with the duo hanging by two, flowing strips of silk fabric and searching through the light textures for their partner.
"Until recently, I had been doing solo acts, and I did what I wanted," Streltsov said. "But the duo became one of my favorite acts in the show - it's like love in the air."
Inspired to perform
Aerial artist and acrobat Streltsov took a breather from practicing his high-flying act to talk to Get Out about how he got involved in performing with the Cirque de la Symphonie.
Q: What led you to become an aerial artist?
A: It was predetermined. I was born in a circus family. My father used to do a similar act to the act I am doing now, and my mom was performing as a tightrope artist. I grew up watching shows and my parents performing, and I was dreaming that I was going to be a performer myself some day.
Q: What was it like watching your parents perform?
A: It's so wonderful when you're on stage and people are clapping for you. It captivates you because you want to be that person. I was going through that every day watching my parents. I knew it from Day One that I was going to be like my mother and father.
Q: How did you train?
A: The beginning is pretty similar to everybody. My father started with me when I was 4, stretching, hanging on the rings and doing a lot of handstands. Then, when I was 6, he actually signed me up for gymnastics. I wondered why would my father sign me up for gymnastics when I wanted to be a circus performer? Later on, I realized he did it so I would develop upper body strength.
Q: And how did that lead you to creating a cirque show set to orchestra music?
A: We just wanted to introduce the cirque world to the symphony and bring it to the high arts level. Most people think the circus is all about what you might see under a tent. We wanted to show them that the circus can be at the same level of a ballet or an opera.
Q: Was it all that you imagined?
A: I loved it so much that I couldn't wait for the next show. When it happened the first time, we realized we're not only introducing a new concept, but we're also helping the symphony survive. Nowadays, the younger crowd has so many alternatives when it comes to entertainment. We realized we're doing something useful to the symphony by introducing that crowd to their world. Maybe after they see the cirque show and listen to the music, they'll want to come back to the symphony to listen to the music.

Notes & Outlines 1 CORINTHIANS "By Dr. J. Vernon McGee © Thru the Bible Radio Network,http://www.ttb.org. "
(Audio index:MCGEECOMMENTARYAUDIO 1Corinthians )
WRITER: Paul DATE:
A.D. 55-57 (more likely 57)
PLACE: Ephesus SUBJECT: The Lordship of Jesus ( kjv@1Corinthians:1:2-3, 7-10)
BACKGROUND: Carnal Corinth was the sin center of the Roman Empire in Paul's day. It was labeled "Vanity Fair." Its location was about 40 miles west of Athens on a narrow isthmus between Peloponnesus and the mainland. It was the great commercial center of the Roman Empire with 3 harbors, of which two were important — Lechaeum, about 1 1/2 miles to the west, and Cenchreae, about 8 1/2 miles to the east. 196 B.C. 146 B.C. 46 B.C. Rome declared it a free city. It rebelled and was totally destroyed by Mummius, the consul. Julius Caesar rebuilt the city in great elegance, restoring it to its former prominence.
However, even its ruins were lost to history for many years, and a fishing village was built over them. In 1928, an earthquake uncovered them, and now much of the city has been excavated. The temple of Aphrodite, built on the Acrocorinthus, was attended by 1,000 priestesses of vice, actually nothing more than prostitutes. The city was given over to licentiousness and pleasure. The Isthmian games were conducted here. Against this corrupt background, Paul preached the gospel in Corinth, founded the church, and wrote two epistles to the church at Corinth: 1 and 2 Corinthians. Read kjv@Acts:18:1-18 for the account of Paul's visit to Corinth.

COMMENT: First Corinthians is obviously Paul's answer to a previous letter that he had written to the Corinthians ( kjv@1Corinthians:5:9). They sent a delegation with a letter ( kjv@1Corinthians:7:1 kjv@1Corinthians:16:17) and 1 Corinthians is Paul's reply concerning the conditions in the Corinthian church. It is a letter of correction of errors and confirmation of truth.
I. Salutation and thanksgiving, Chapter kjv@1Corinthians:1:1-9
In these first 9 verses of the introduction, the Lord Jesus Christ is mentioned 6 times. This is a Christ-centered epistle of which v: kjv@1Corinthians:1:9 is the very heart: "God is faithful" — although men, including believers, are not. "Ye were called" is the "high calling of God in Christ Jesus" kjv@Philippians:3:14). "Fellowship" (koinonian) is one of the most important and versatile words of Christian faith. It means anything that believers share together concerning the things of Christ. Koinonia is { fellowship — kjv@Acts:2:42-44 contribution — kjv@Romans:15:26 communion (Lord's Supper) — kjv@1Corinthians:10:16 partnership — kjv@1Corinthians:1:9 "His Son" — He is God the Son; here it is His relationship to the Father. "Jesus" — His human name. "Christ" — His title (Messiah, Anointed). "Our Lord" — He is our Lord; this is our relationship to Him. "Fellowship" — "Fellowship" (koinonia) can also mean "partnership," which is how I believe it is used here. There is partnership in business, in love, and in marriage. This is a combination of:
1) Mutual concern — Christ is interested in us; we are interested in Him.
2) Mutual commitment — His resources are ours. We are committed to Him; He to us.
3) Mutual compassion — He accommodates Himself to our weakness. His power is ours. (This is reflected in kjv@Isaiah:63:9, a verse that I believe has been mistranslated. It should be: "In all their affliction He was not afflicted.") When I am weak and weary, He waits. When I stumble and fall, He picks me up. In view of this, all the rest of 1 Corinthians is a parenthesis until we come to 15:58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
II. Concerning conditions in the Corinthian church, Chapters kjv@1Corinthians:1:10—16:9
A. Concerning DIVISIONS and party spirit, Chapters kjv@1Corinthians:1:10—4:21
1. Centrality of Christ crucified corrects divisions, kjv@1Corinthians:1:10-31
Divisions were being caused by believers following different leaders of the church. They formed cliques around certain men: Paul — Proud pupils Cephas — Chummy cult Apollos — Adoring admirers They were exalting the wisdom of the world, which is contrary to the wisdom of God. The gospel of the cross is the wisdom of God. (See author's booklet, "The Cross Divides Men.") "Them who are called" (v. 24) are those Jews who do not find the cross a stumbling block and those Gentiles who do not find it foolishness but see in it the power and wisdom of God. They are "the called" for they hear and respond to the gospel. Christ is the wisdom of the believer as well as his righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (v. 30).
1) Positional sanctification (in Christ), vv. kjv@1Corinthians:1:2, kjv@1Corinthians:1:30 (the Corinthians were sanctified)
2) Practical sanctification (by the Holy Spirit), kjv@1Thessalonians:4:3-8; kjv@Romans:15:16
3) Permanent (eternal) sanctification, kjv@1Thessalonians:5:23; kjv@Hebrews:10:10 kjv@Hebrews:10:14
2. Clarity of Holy Spirit corrects human wisdom, kjv@1Corinthians:2
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:2:1-5 — Paul's approach to sophisticated and sinful Corinth is not by the wisdom of the world, but is the unvarnished declaration of Jesus Christ (His person) and Him crucified (His work). See kjv@1Corinthians:15:1-4. Paul personally is weak and afraid (v. 3). The faith of the Corinthian Christians stands in the power of God (v. 5).
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:2:6-8 — Paul's message is the wisdom of God, not the wisdom of the world.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:2:9 — Wisdom of the world comes through the eye gate, the ear gate, and through human reasoning (see kjv@Isaiah:64:4).
v: kjv@1Corinthians:2:10 — The wisdom of God comes through the revelation of the Holy Spirit.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:2:11 — No man can understand the things of God until the Holy Spirit teaches him.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:2:12 — The believer has the Holy Spirit of God to teach him.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:2:13-14 — The unbeliever is unprepared to receive the things of God, for he does not have the Holy Spirit to teach him. Therefore, his conclusion is that the wisdom of God is foolishness.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:2:15 — The spiritual man is in contrast to the natural man. He understands divine truth but is misunderstood by the natural man.
3. Correct conception of God clarifies Christian service, kjv@1Corinthians:3
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:3:1-10 — Carnality of the Corinthian Christians is evident by the divisions among them. Proof of their carnality is "envying, strife and divisions." Paul designates the human family thus:
1) Natural man a) Jew b) Gentile
2) Believer ("called one"; Christian)
a) Carnal
b) Spiritual Paul and Apollos were not divided.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:3:11-23 — Conditions on which rewards are given.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:3:11 — Salvation is the foundation that is already put down. Therefore, no man can work for salvation.
v. kjv@1Corinthians:3:12 — The believer can work for a reward. There are 6 materials with which he can build on the foundation.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:3:13 — Fire tests every man's work. Gold, silver, and precious stones are purified by fire. Wood, hay, and stubble are consumed by fire.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:3:14 — When works survive the fire, rewards are given.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:3:15 — When works are consumed by fire, the believer is saved, but he receives no reward.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:3:16-20 — The believer's body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:3:21-23 — All things and all believers are the possession of every other believer. We rob ourselves when we limit ourselves to one individual or a narrow circle.
4. Conditions of Christ's servants constrain Christian conduct, kjv@1Corinthians:4
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:4:1-5 — Faithfulness is the supreme virtue of a servant. All believers are judged in 3 courts:
1) Others (lower court) — my paraphrase of v: kjv@1Corinthians:4:3 is: "But, as a matter of fact, it matters very little to me what you, or any man, thinks of me."
2) One's conscience (higher court) — Paul did not even judge himself, but that did not justify him before God.
3) One and only Master (supreme court) — see kjv@2Corinthians:5:10 and kjv@Romans:14:12. Believers, as stewards, are judged for faithfulness. Christ will find something to praise in each believer.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:4:6-21 — Suffering of apostles is a spectacle to the world and angels, also an incentive to other believers. Note (v. kjv@1Corinthians:4:17) the personal esteem Paul had for Timothy.
B. Concerning SCANDALS in the Corinthian church, Chapters kjv@1Corinthians:5-6
1. Impurity, kjv@1Corinthians:5
kjv@1Corinthians:5:1 — "Commonly" means "actually; factually" and not a matter of gossip. It was a sordid story of a man who took his father's wife, his stepmother. The church in Corinth had ignored it and were "puffed up" (v. kjv@1Corinthians:5:2). Paul commands them to do two things:
1) Deliver the guilty party unto Satan (v. kjv@1Corinthians:5:5). (Job and Peter were delivered over to Satan for different reasons. See also kjv@1Timothy:1:20.)
2) Refuse fellowship with the guilty (vv. kjv@1Corinthians:5:11, kjv@1Corinthians:5:13). For the result, see kjv@2Corinthians:2:4-11 kjv@2Corinthians:7:12.
2. Lawsuits among members, kjv@1Corinthians:6
v: kjv@1Corinthians:6:1 — Differences between believers should be settled by other believers. The basis for this kjv@Isaiah:3-fold:
1) Saints will judge the world (v. kjv@1Corinthians:6:2);
2) Saints will judge angels (v. kjv@1Corinthians:6:3);
3) Unrighteousness is not in the kingdom (v. kjv@1Corinthians:6:9).
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:6:19-20 — The human body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
C. Concerning MARRIAGE, Chapter kjv@1Corinthians:7v: kjv@1Corinthians:7:1 — They had written to Paul concerning this problem.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:7:2-6 — Paul is not commending the single above the married state. In the Roman world, a wife was a chattel, a workhorse. Generally, a man had several wives — one had charge of the kitchen, another of the living area, and perhaps another was in charge of the clothing. The man went to the temple of Aphrodite for sex. Paul says that a man must have one wife whom he loves. Paul lifts the slave state of womanhood to that of a partner with man in love.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:7:7 — We assume Paul was unmarried.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:7:8 — However, Paul was not a bachelor; he was a widower. We know that he had been a member of the Sanhedrin kjv@Acts:26:10) and that all members were required to be married.
F. W. Farrar writes in his Life and Work of St. Paul: "The other question which arises is, Was Saul married? Had he the support of some loving heart during the fiery struggles of his youth? Amid the to-and-fro contentions of spirit which resulted from an imperfect and unsatisfying creed, was there in the troubled sea of his life one little island home where he could find refuge from incessant thoughts? "Little as we know of his domestic relations, little as he cared to mingle mere private interests with the great spiritual truths which occupy his soul, it seems to me that we must answer this question in the affirmative." "A Jew, who has no wife is not a man" kjv@Genesis:5:2, Yebhamoth, f. 63,1).
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:7:8-9 — There is no reason why the unmarried and widowers should not marry. Paul was a widower who had not married again.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:7:10-40 — Paul discusses husband-wife relationships. If a husband has an unbelieving wife, or vice versa, and the unbeliever departs, the believer is not bound. Some interpret this as grounds for divorce. It at least is the grounds for a legal separation (v. kjv@1Corinthians:7:15). The ideal and practical is for them to continue living together as man and wife.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:7:20-24 — A person is to begin a new life with God the day he is born again. The mistakes and sins of the past are forgiven. If he is divorced, he is the same as an unmarried person. It is best to remain single if the person can be happy in that state.
D. Concerning CHRISTIAN LIBERTY, Chapters kjv@1Corinthians:8:—11:1
The Bible condemns certain practices as wrong — kjv@Proverbs:6:1619; kjv@Galatians:5:19-21. The Bible commends certain practices as right — prayer, teaching, doing good, etc. There is a thin grey line concerning doubtful and questionable practices about which the Bible has nothing to say either way.
Chapter kjv@1Corinthians:8 — The eating of meat was a questionable practice.
v. kjv@1Corinthians:8:1 — Knowledge — blows up Love — builds up
v: kjv@1Corinthians:8:4 — Meat offered to idols was repugnant and wrong to a Jew. Meat offered to idols was later placed for sale in heathen temples. In fact, the best meat could be bought there. The Gentile was not offended in eating this meat; the Jew was. Should the Gentile believer serve meat offered to idols to his Jewish guest? The answer is no (v. kjv@1Corinthians:8:13), although there is nothing wrong with meat (vv. kjv@1Corinthians:8:4, kjv@1Corinthians:8:8). The reason: a Christian is motivated by love (vv. kjv@1Corinthians:8:9, kjv@1Corinthians:8:11-12).
1. Liberty of the minister, kjv@1Corinthians:9
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:9:1-6 — Liberty in personal matters.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:9:7-18 — Liberty in public ministry. (Live by the gospel, v: kjv@1Corinthians:9:14.)
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:9:19-22 — Liberty to become a servant of all. (Relationship to others for the gospel's sake, vv. kjv@1Corinthians:9:20-23.)
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:9:23-27 — Liberty to strive for a reward. (Running and boxing to receive a crown.)
2. Liberty is not license, kjv@1Corinthians:10:1—11:1
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:10:1-15 — A warning: Israel delivered from bondage (vv. kjv@1Corinthians:10:1-5); Israel abused their liberty (vv. kjv@1Corinthians:10:6-10); Israel is an example for us (vv. kjv@1Corinthians:10:11-15); Israel was redeemed by power at the Red Sea and preserved in the wilderness by miracle, yet they sinned and were destroyed. "Baptized unto Moses" (v. kjv@1Corinthians:10:2) means identified with Moses.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:10:16-22 — A lesson: The Lord's table requires strict separation.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:10:23-33 — An example: A believer is to be guided in his conduct by the effect it has upon others (cp. 6:12). He is to be guided by 3 considerations:
1) His actions should glorify God (v. kjv@1Corinthians:10:31);
2) His actions should not offend others (v. kjv@1Corinthians:10:32);
3) His actions should follow Christ ( kjv@1Corinthians:11:1).
E. Concerning WOMAN'S DRESS, Chapter kjv@1Corinthians:11:2-16
v: kjv@1Corinthians:11:2 — Notice the new approach of Paul — he has had no praise for the Corinthians until this verse, but here it is: "I praise you."
v. kjv@1Corinthians:11:3 — Principle stated: Authority for the sake of order. To eliminate confusion there are 3 headships:
1) Head of every man is Christ — normal. Until a man is mastered by Christ, he is not a man.
2) Head of woman is man. It is normal for woman to respond to man. A woman should not marry a man unless she can look up to him.
3) Head of Christ is God. Jesus said, "I and the Father are one" — yet in His work of redemption He took a lower place (see kjv@Philippians:2:5-8). v
v. kjv@1Corinthians:11:4-6 — Application of the principle to Corinth. An unveiled woman in Corinth was a prostitute. Your town may be different from Corinth.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:11:7-16 — Interpretation of the principle concerning woman's dress for public ministry. She should never use sex appeal in approaching God (v. kjv@1Corinthians:11:13). Note that it mentions not only woman's wear, but men's hair (vv. kjv@1Corinthians:11:7, kjv@1Corinthians:11:14).
F. Concerning the LORD'S TABLE, Chapter kjv@1Corinthians:11:17-34
The Lord's Supper is the highest expression and holiest exercise of Christian worship. All four Gospels record in detail the institution of the Lord's Supper.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:11:17-22 — The early church enjoyed a meal together before celebrating the Lord's Supper. The meal was called an agape, a love feast. Disorders had arisen and now Paul commands that the agape be discontinued.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:11:23-26 — Paul, not present in the Upper Room, was given these instructions directly. Here is the simplicity, sublimity, and sanity of the Lord's Supper.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:11:27-34 — A believer can judge himself in respect to his sins. Failure to do so brings judgment and chastening from the Lord.
G. Concerning SPIRITUAL GIFTS, Chapters kjv@1Corinthians:12—14
Problem in Corinth — divisions. Solution — the Holy Spirit kjv@Ephesians:4:3).
1. Endowment of gifts, kjv@1Corinthians:12
a. Gifts are given to maintain unity in diversity, vv. kjv@1Corinthians:12:1-11
v: kjv@1Corinthians:12:1 — "Spiritual gifts" is pneumatikos, spirituals. The word occurs 26 times in the New Testament; translated "gifts" 3 times kjv@Romans:1:11; kjv@1Corinthians:14:1). He turns from carnalities in the first section to spiritualities. Gifts are one of the spiritualities.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:12:3 — The lordship of Jesus is the central truth of the Christian life (sovereignty of Jesus Christ — kjv@Acts:2:36).
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:12:4-6 — "Diversities" (diairesis) is difference in unity. "Gifts" is a capacity for service; function. Holy Spirit bestows gifts; Jesus Christ administers gifts (directs); God the Father supplies power (energizes).
v: kjv@1Corinthians:12:8 — "Wisdom" is insight into truth. "Knowledge" is investigation of truth.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:12:9 — "Faith" is the "substance of things hoped for" kjv@Hebrews:11:1). "Healing," not by laying on of hands — none of this "if you have faith" business.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:12:10 — "Working of miracles" is to do supernatural things. "Prophecy" is declaring the will of Christ. "Discerning of spirits" is distinguishing between false and true. "Tongues" is not unknown tongues (see chapter 14; also author's booklet, "Talking in Tongues").
b. Members of human body compared to gifts of Holy Spirit,
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:12:12-31 All function in one body.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:12:12 — The church is the body of Christ.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:12:13 — The baptism of the Holy Spirit places each believer into the body of Christ to function in a particular fashion.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:12:14-31 — There is one body but many members. Members of the body of Christ function in the body of Christ.
2. Energy of gifts — Love, kjv@1Corinthians:13
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:13:1-3 — Preeminence of love — value. All gifts are a string of zeros. Love placed before them is a figure that gives value. Eloquence Prophecy Knowledge Faith Sacrifice Martyrdom Love -0 -0 -0 -0 -0 -0 -1 } 1,000,000
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:13:4-7 — Prerogative of love — virtue. "Love" is an abstract noun. It must be translated into life and action. Love expresses itself in patience, kindness, absence of envy or boastfulness, etc.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:13:8-13 — Permanence of love — victory. "Love never faileth" (v. kjv@1Corinthians:13:8), negative; "Love abideth" (v. kjv@1Corinthians:13:13), positive. "Prophecies" will be fulfilled; "tongues" will end; "knowledge" progresses (the science of 10 years ago is outmoded). "Faith, hope, and love" are the high words of the Christian vocabulary. Love is dominant. Love is superior to all gifts, and all gifts are valueless without love. This chapter is a biography of Christ.
3. Exercise of gifts, kjv@1Corinthians:13:14
a. Gift of prophecy is superior to gift of tongues, vv. kjv@1Corinthians:13:1-22
v: kjv@1Corinthians:13:1 — All gifts are to be exercised in love. The believer should desire spiritual gifts, but especially the gift of prophecy (v. kjv@1Corinthians:13:39; kjv@1Corinthians:12:31).
v: kjv@1Corinthians:13:2 — Notice that "unknown" is italicized in many Bibles, which means it was not in the original text. There is no such thing as an unknown tongue. "Tongues" are existing languages, but unknown to the speaker. The ability to speak in another tongue not previously learned was a phenomenon of the apostolic church. "This whole passage is very obscure; but the obscurity arises from our ignorance of the facts described, which, though familiar to those to whom the apostle wrote, have ceased to occur." — Chrysostom "Tongues seem to have ceased first of all gifts." — Robertson Jesus never spoke in tongues; the apostles after Pentecost did not speak in tongues. There is no record of Paul speaking in tongues publicly, although he had the gift of tongues (v. kjv@1Corinthians:13:18). Paul, caught up to the third heaven, "heard unspeakable words." Only 3 gifts are mentioned in this chapter:
1) prophecy,
2) tongues, and
3) interpretation of tongues. Compare kjv@1Corinthians:12:8-10. Besides chapters kjv@1Corinthians:13:12—14, there are only 4 other references to tongues in the Scriptures: kjv@Mark:16:17; kjv@Acts:2; kjv@Acts:10; kjv@Acts:19:5:5 — Paul is attempting to get the Corinthians off "the kick" of speaking in tongues (v. kjv@1Corinthians:13:9). Obviously, he is discouraging the use of tongues. (See author's booklet, "Talking in Tongues.")
b. Order in local church for exercise of any gift,
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:13:23-40 Note vv. kjv@1Corinthians:13:26, kjv@1Corinthians:13:33, kjv@1Corinthians:13:40. Women are forbidden to speak in tongues in the local church (v. kjv@1Corinthians:13:34).
H. Concerning the GOSPEL, Chapter kjv@1Corinthians:15
1. Prominence of resurrection in the gospel, vv. kjv@1Corinthians:15:1-4
It is part of the gospel — in fact, there is no gospel without the resurrection (v. kjv@1Corinthians:15:4). The gospel is not the Sermon on the Mount or the Ten Commandments. Machen said, "Christianity does not rest on a set of ideas or creeds, but on facts." "Ye are saved" (v. kjv@1Corinthians:15:2) — the church is the evidence of the resurrection. "According to the scriptures" (v. kjv@1Corinthians:15:4) — the resurrection fulfilled Scripture; it was the expectation of the Old Testament.
2. Proofs of resurrection, vv. kjv@1Corinthians:15:5-19
There are witnesses (vv. kjv@1Corinthians:15:5-11): Cephas, the twelve, over 500, James, all the apostles, Paul. If Christ were not raised from the dead, certain things would be true which are not true.
3. Parade of resurrection, vv. kjv@1Corinthians:15:20-28
a. Christ b. the firstfruits Those who are Christ's (the church)
c. Old Testament saints d. Tribulation saints e. Kingdom set up f. Christ reigning Death destroyed Christ returns to His place in the Trinity (v. kjv@1Corinthians:15:28)
4. Program and pattern of resurrection, vv. kjv@1Corinthians:15:29-50
"Baptized" (v. kjv@1Corinthians:15:29) means identified. Paul took the place of a dead man in relationship to the world (see kjv@Galatians:6:14). Resurrection refers only to the body (v. 44). In Greek, it is anastasis nekron, standing up of the body. The soul cannot stand up. "It is sown a natural (psuchikon) body (soma); it is raised a spiritual (pneumatikon) body (soma)." It is the body that is carried over in resurrection. The first heresy in the church was the denial of bodily resurrection. In Paul's day, there were three philosophies:
Stoicism — soul merged into Deity at death; destruction of personality.
Epicureanism — no existence beyond death; materialistic.
Platonism — immortality of the soul; denied bodily resurrection.
5. Power of resurrection, vv. kjv@1Corinthians:15:51-58
v: kjv@1Corinthians:15:51 — Not all believers will die.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:15:52 — All believers will be changed in less than a moment of time at the Rapture of the church.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:15:53-54 — Believers will receive a new body, not subject to corruption.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:15:55 — Death and the grave will no longer triumph over man. Man is the victor, not the victim.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:15:57 — Victory comes through Christ.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:15:58 — See kjv@1Corinthians:1:9.
I. Concerning COLLECTIONS, Chapter kjv@1Corinthians:16:1-9
v: kjv@1Corinthians:16:2 — Collections are to be taken on the first day of the week — "Every first day." How much? "As God hath prospered him."
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:16:6-7 — Personal.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:16:8-9 — A great door is open in Ephesus, but there are great adversaries — opportunities and opposition.
III. Closing exhortations and benediction, Chapter kjv@1Corinthians:16:10-24
Sundry matters regarding personalities:
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:16:10-11 — Receive Timothy.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:16:12 — Apollos will come later.
v. kjv@1Corinthians:16:13 — Watch and pray.
v: kjv@1Corinthians:16:14 — Christian action motivated by love.
vv. kjv@1Corinthians:16:21-24 — Benediction. "Anathema" is accursed. "Maranatha" is our Lord cometh.

Austerity! Feds Spend $1.5 million to Study Obese Lesbians
�??These disparities are of high public-health significance.�?�
The National Institutes of Health awarded a Boston hospital more than $1.5 million to figure out why nearly three-quarters of lesbians are overweight — calling the disparities a significant public health issue.
�??It is now well-established that women of minority sexual orientation are disproportionately affected by the obesity epidemic, with nearly three-quarters of adult lesbians overweight or obese, compared to half of heterosexual women,�?� according to a description of the grant.
The taxpayer money was awarded to Brigham and Women�??s Hospital in Boston to study the relationship between sexual orientation and obesity. The project is overseen by S. Bryn Austin.
The grant was awarded through the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The hospital received a 2011 grant worth $778,622 and a 2012 grant worth $778,622.
According to the NIH grant, the project�??s end date is in 2016.
NIH Spokesman Robert Bock told Fox News future grant payments could be impacted by sequestration.
�??It is not possible to say how this or any other NIH grant will be affected in the long term beyond the 90 percent funding levels already in place,�?� he said in a written statement.
(Story continues below)
�??Obesity is one of the most critical public health issues affecting the U.S. today,�?� the grant states. �??Racial and socioeconomic disparities in obesity are receiving increasing attention; however, one area of disparities that is only beginning to be recognized is the striking interplay of gender and sexual orientation.�?�
The hospital noted that heterosexual males have nearly double the risk of obesity compared to gay males.
�??Our study has high potential for public health impact not only for sexual minorities but also for heterosexuals,�?� the grant states.
�??These disparities are of high public-health significance,�?� the hospital states in its grant.
Bock said obesity is a major public health problem in the United States and said the NIH had undertaken major research to understand the causes.
�??The study on obesity and sexual orientation aims to understand why specific populations are disproportionately affected by obesity and how best to inform prevention and treatment strategies aimed at these populations,�?� he said.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said it is disturbing that tax dollars are being used to fund the study.
�??When you look at a nation that�??s $17 trillion in debt �?? there�??s a reason. It�??s because we do frivolous studies that serve no benefit other than to give a special interest group something to talk about,�?� he told Fox News. �??Why are we issuing grants to study things that have no affect on the well-being of the nation as a whole?�?�

Judging from the spy photos we've seen recently, the BMW i8 is coming along nicely. With its more realistic bodywork, the hybrid supercar is beginning to look like something that actually belongs on public streets. Now Sonny Lim, former senior designer for BMW DesignWorks, has taken a stab at what the finished product may look like via a handful of renderings.
With it's shorter wheelbase and clipped length compared to the concept, the production vehicle is rumored to tip the scales at around 3,187 pounds, or just under the concept's original weight goal. Much of that weight savings is thanks to the substantial use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic in the vehicle's chassis.
With the combination of an electric motor and a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, the i8 will reportedly offer buyers just under 400 horsepower and three driving modes. The driver will be able to pick between pure-electric, gasoline or a medley of both. All told, the i8 should deliver a 0-60 mph run of under 4.9 seconds with the help of both power sources.

From Carts to Baskets: the New Normal for Filipino Shoppers
Filipino shoppers traditionally go to the supermarkets twice a month, usually on paydays, for bulk shopping. For some basic items, however, Filipinos often buy from sari-sari stores, local convenience shops. With the increasing number of supermarkets across the country, however, a recent Nielsen survey observes that Filipino shopping habits are shifting: shoppers are making "top-up" shopping trips in supermarkets more frequently, and visiting the supermarket more often is becoming the norm.
This recent change in consumer behaviour is pronounced, with major grocery shopping trips giving way to a rise in buying only what is needed. On average, the frequency with which Filipino shoppers replenish their pantries decreased from three times per month in 2011 to two times per month in 2012. Meanwhile, the average number of top-up shopping trips increased from three times per month in 2011 to seven times per month in 2012 This recent increase in shopping frequency is providing more opportunities for retailers and manufacturers to interact more often with the shoppers.
The close proximity of supermarkets to shoppers' doorsteps is driving this preference toward smaller but more frequent shopping trips. As supermarkets continue to sprout near residential areas previously served by "mom and pop" convenience stores, shoppers are feeling less pressured to buy in bulk. Well-known supermarket chains have extended their reach by opening new or smaller format stores in high traffic residential areas, with the average commute or walk around 17 minutes. This means shoppers can now more-easily reach a supermarket by bike, jeepney, or foot.
The increase in shopping trip frequency has also resulted in a rise in spending on groceries, as Filipinos' monthly spend on food, grocery and personal care grew by 8 percent in 2012 from 2011.
Interact to transact
More frequent trips to supermarkets are opening the door to more opportunities for retailers and manufacturers to interact with shoppers, in particular via in-store promotions.
Three out of 10 shoppers admit to being promotions-driven, and although the majority of Filipino shoppers plan their grocery shopping activities with a shopping list, nine out of 10 shoppers admit to often buying more than they had planned. While price-offs or discounts and "buy 1 take 1" offers are shoppers' preferred promotions, manufacturers and retailers must ensure they select the right promotional activity to suit their specific product.
In-store promotional activities are a good way to support product or brand launches. Manufacturers and retailers should take note that there's a significant increase in the proportion of early adopters from 9 percent in 2011 to 15 percent in 2012, illustrating that of Filipino shoppers are becoming more interested in trying new products.
The increasingly dynamic and complex Philippine marketplace represents both challenges and opportunities. In order to secure the hearts and minds of Filipino shoppers, manufacturers and retailers must recognise and understand the emerging trends in shopper behaviour and adapt their marketing strategy to suit.
The insights, analysis and data included in this article are based on Nielsen's Philippine Shopper Trends Report. For more information, contact the Philippine Shopper Trends team.

severe bronchitis videos - What is Bronchitis and what are the causes of Bronchitis
What is Bronchitis and what are the causes of Bronchitis
Bronchitis- introduction
is an acute inflammation of the air passages within the lungs. It occurs when the trachea (windpipe) and the large and small bronchi (airways) within the lungs become inflamed because of infection or other causes. The thin mucous lining of these airways can become irritated and swollen. The cells that make up this lining may leak fluids in response to the inflammation.

Anuloma Viloma: This is also called the alternate nostril breathing technique. In this breathing technique, one inhales through one nostril, retains the breath, and exhales through the other nostril.
Ustrasan or the camel pose: This posture activates facial tissues, the nasal passage, pharynx & the lungs. Simhasan or the lion pose:
Major types of
: The two major types of
are Acute and Chronic. What
causes bronchitis
? Acute
is usually caused by a virus. Often a person gets
acute bronchitis
after having an upper respiratory tract infection such as a cold or the flu. In rare cases, acute
is caused by bacteria Acute
also can be caused by breathing in things that irritate the bronchial tubes, such as smoke. It also can happen if a person inhales food or vomit into the lungs.
preventable? Once your child is saved from a
attack, you must not risk him/her with another episode of the ailment. So, you must undertake the preventive measures that are as follows:
What Triggers AECB? Acute exacerbations of chronic
are commonly triggered by one or more of the following: -Bacterial or viral infections (e.g. cold, flu)
1. Pulsoximeter 2. Chest x-ray What are the treatments recommended? 1. The child can be temporarily relieved with the first-aid. 2. Next you must give your child lot of non-caffeinated fluids. This would control the dehydration in the child.
What are the different yogic postures (asanas) followed for asthma? Yoga exercises include various poses (asanas), breathing, and relaxation techniques which in cohesion puts one in control of his mind and emotions, making him more relaxed and allowing to breathe easily. This helps lungs work better and enhance airflow during asthma attacks.
2. Next the child would suffer from varied breathing difficulties, that is both in the inhaling and exhaling part. 3. Just in a day or 2, the baby would have increased breathing difficulty along with rapid wheezing & cough. By this time, you must get aware as the heartbeats would have become very unusually fast.
This disease affects the young, old and even children. The most disheartening aspect of asthma is that it does not get completely cured through medicines, but yes it can be controlled to a large extent by following certain simple yogic exercises. Why is yoga so popular for treating chronic diseases like asthma?
1. While the dicey seasons for the infant like winters and early spring season, make sure to keep your child away from persons suffering with cough, cold and flu.
-Air pollutants that irritate the lungs (e.g. smoke, fumes, dust) -Weather changes To avoid AECB, a chronic bronchitic is advised to stay away from places with heavy air pollution, to get flu and pneumonia shots, and to maintain a healthy diet to strengthen the immune system against infections.
2. Mycoplasma This sort of virus is a crucial cause of pneumonia & several other disorders linked to the respiratory system. 3. Adenoviruses This virus commonly causes ailments like conjunctivitis and several others related to the respiratory system.
In case you observe the above given symptoms in your infant, you must check with a pediatrician as soon as possible. The pediatrician would first check the baby's medical history and then assess the baby with some physical examination. Further the doctor would order for some further tests that must be taken very seriously. These tests are as follows:

This asana corrects any disorder of the circulatory system. Matsyasan or the fish pose: This corrects the disorders of the respiratory system as well as all organs concerned with respiration such as the nasal passage, the pharynx, the larynx.
* Back bending postures open the chest improving both lung and heart functioning. * Upper back bends and chest opening postures are useful, if on finds it hard to exhale during asthma attacks.
Some other reasons of causing bronchitis : Smoking is the leading cause of chronic
. The substances in cigarette and other forms of tobacco smoking cause irritation of the bronchial tubes.
4. For infants, even the crowded environments cause the symptoms of bronchitis. 5. Male infants are at a higher risk to acquire bronchitis than the females.
* The postures followed remove the mucus from the lungs, and relax the lung muscles. * Yoga also teaches correct breathing techniques which is essential to keep the lungs free of mucus.
Bronchitis commonly occurs in the adults. In this disorder the large airways in our body get inflamed.
refers to the infants with their airways inflamed between their chest & the lungs. This term is coined from the word bronchioles, a part of the bronchi of the infants that is naturally smaller than that of an adult. Therefore the infections in this case are easily plugged & viruses enter very easily.
The other viruses that lead to bronchitis are as follows: 1. Parainfluenza Virus This sort of virus most oft brings the pediatric respiratory infections in the infants.
is defined as excessive mucus secretion in the bronchi and a chronic or recurrent mucus-producing cough that lasts three or more months and recurs year after year. People who have chronic bronchitis are more susceptible to bacterial infections of the airway and lungs.
Some specific yogic exercises to be followed if suffering from asthma - Tadasan or palm tree pose: This helps strengthen bronchioles and lungs; as well as build up muscles of the chest.
4. Influenza Virus This sort of virus enters the human body's respiratory tract and leads to the individuals suffering with cold, cough & some extent bronchitis.
6. During the first 6 months, the male infants that are formula-fed become more likely to acquire this ailment as compared to those who are breast-fed.
Sometimes, for a person with chronic
, the symptoms will quickly get worse all of a sudden. This is known as an acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, or AECB. Many people that die from chronic
does so during an episode of acute exacerbation of chronic
, so a person having an attack of AECB must get medical attention right away to maximize his/her chances of survival.
Relaxation pose: There are three parts to proper relaxation - physical, mental and spiritual relaxation. Relaxation yoga pose relaxes the body and mind, and makes one feel refreshed after doing the asanas and the pranayama. This is why it is an essential part of yoga practice.
occurs when the branchi become infected. This infection leads to swelling in the bronchial tubes and the tubes narrow. Mucus is also formed, which can collect in the tubes and inhibit free breathing. As more swelling occurs breathing becomes more and more difficult. This form of
is spread in much the same way as the common cold. Inhaling air in which bacteria is present or making physical contact with items or individuals where bacteria is present can spread this form of

Savasana or the corpse pose: The Corpse yoga pose is practiced before or in between Asanas as well as a final relaxation. It removes fatigue and quietens the mind.
What are the causes of
? Respiratory Syncytial Virus or RSV is the key cause of bronchitis among the infants. The researchers have proved that RSV causes major ailments among young children, mostly the infants.
2. The infants are rather more susceptible to this ailment during the winters and the early period of spring season. 3. The babies exposed to cigarettes & belch smokes also bare a high risk of catching up the said illness.
Asthma is a very common respiratory complaint, which involves a narrowing of the bronchial tubes (bronchi). This constriction disturbs the normal ratio of inspiration and expiration. Because of the congestion of the blood vessels of the bronchial lining, expiration becomes difficult.
Bronchitis is usually caused by infection with a virus. However,
may also be caused by bacteria, smoking or the inhalation of chemical pollutants or dust. The most common viruses that cause
are influenza A and B, The most common bacteria that
causes bronchitis
is Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
What is Bhastrika pranayama? How is it helpful in case of asthma? Bhastrika pranayama is a very effective breathing exercise of pranayama to control asthma symptoms. Sit comfortably but erect in a meditative posture. Keep the left hand on the left knee in Gyan Mudra.
What Happens During AECB? During an AECB, the already narrower-than-normal air passageways in the lungs become even narrower, and even more and thicker mucous is secreted. This will cause breathing to become even more difficult. This may be accompanied by a fever, chills, and feeling weak in the knees. If the sudden acute exacerbation is due to bacterial infection, the mucus coughed up during expectoration may be speckled with blood, or colored a brighter than normal yellow or green. If the individual is suffering from fever, and has discovered blood in their mucus, there is a good chance the doctor will take a chest x-ray to make sure that pneumonia is not the underlying cause of the symptoms.
* Yoga tries to cure asthma by cleansing the lungs of mucus, and making the patient emotionally strong so as to not react to stressful situations.
If you are experiencing AECB, you should seek medical treatment immediately. AECB has been known to cause other problems, and many are admitted to the hospital every year for complications from AECB. If you are experiencing this, remember not to panic. Keep your breathing as steady as possible, and calmly call a doctor of physician for advice. Because AECB can come suddenly without warning, it is always best to keep any doctor prescribed inhalants on you just in case. Make sure to check with your doctor, and make sure that these inhalers are fine to take when you are experiencing AECB, to avoid any further complications. Try lying down with a humidifier running, or hopping in a warm shower to help you breath and reduce the symptoms of AECB.
According to Yoga philosophy, a calm mind produces regular breathing and a relaxed body. So, yogic exercises definitely help people with asthma and
Surya Namaskar or Sun salutation: This is a yoga pose which prepares the whole body for the yoga asanas. It is a sequence of twelve Yoga positions performed as one continuous exercise.
Sukhasana: This is a meditative pose and is usually performed after doing the Corpse Pose or sarvasana. This exercise helps in straightening the spine, slowing down metabolism, promoting inner tranquility, and keeping the mind relaxed.
Ekpada Uttan Asana - helps in activating the bronchial lining . Padmasan or the lotus pose: This relaxes the body; the appropriate asana for pranayam.
Coughing is a reflex that works to clear secretions from the lungs. Often the discomfort of a severe cough leads you to seek medical treatment.
Unlike acute bronchitis, chronic
is an ongoing, serious disease. Smoking is the major cause, but air pollution and dust or toxic gases in the environment or workplace also can contribute to the condition. In some people, chronic inflammation of the airways may lead to asthma.
Ardha Matsyendrasena or half spinal twist: The half spinal twist lengthens and strengthens the spine. It is also beneficial for liver, kidney, as well as adrenal glands.
A general yoga practice reduces stress, physical tension, and muscle tightness and increases overall feelings of well being by activating the nervous system.
Yoga is a system which involves Asanas (body postures) and Pranayama (art of breath control). It is widely practiced to reduce stress related conditions, treat circulatory and respiratory disorders such as asthma and bronchitis, and improve over-all health.
Industrial pollution is another culprit. Chronic
is found in higher-than-normal rates among coal miners, grain handlers, metal molders, and other people who are continually exposed to dust.
Fold the index and the middle fingers of the right hand to touch the palm. Close the right nostril with the right thumb. Exhale through the left nostril and immediately inhale forcefully. Quickly open the right nostril by closing the left nostril and repeat the procedure. Keep repeating this pattern quickly gradually increasing the speed of inhalation and exhalation. Simultaneously contract and expand the abdominal muscles and slowly return to the initial speed. What are its advantages?
2. Make sure that as a parent and/or a caregiver, you must wash your hands every time before handling the infant. 3. In case you cough or sneeze, you must use a tissue or a handkerchief to cover your mouth well enough.
When is your child at risk? 1. At the age of 6 months, the baby becomes prone to develop
. Until the baby becomes 2 years old, this tendency is far too much.
4. While all the above symptoms are a must, they are often accompanied with the others like fever and/or cooler body temperature & reduced appetite. How can the medical experts diagnose bronchitis?
3. You can opt to make use of the humidifiers and/or saline nose drops. These would help mucus to lighten out very quickly. 4. At times, the medical experts recommend that the parents and/or caregivers should bring their infant to a hospital so as to get them well-supervised care such as giving the fluids & oxygen as & when needed and giving the right humidified atmosphere. One very important thing in this case would be that the child would get proper medical care.
What are the symptoms? 1. The baby begins to have a runny & stuffy nose along with meek cough. This is the key symptom of
among infants.
Breathe air that contains the virus particles or bacteria. Touch an object that has been touched by an infected person and then touch your eyes, nose, or mouth without washing your hand.
In case you are likely to become ill, request someone to take over your responsibility for a few days.

There's this funny thing about archaeology.
Like astronaut or first female/gay/deaf/alien (fill in the underrepresented blank as you wish) American President, archaeology seems to attract more than its share of would-be practioners.
Even people you'd never expect. Famous people.
Ben Stiller, Daniel Radcliffe, and Megan Fox are just some of the Hollywood A-Listers who've gone public with childhood dreams (or future hopes) of becoming an archaeologist.
And they don't mean onscreen. Fox reportedly passed on the chance to play the "new'' Lara Croft in a 2010 Tomb Raider revival.
It's ironic, really. Because Hollywood aside, field archaeology is < 1% adrenaline rush. Golden idols are tough to come by, and the closest thing to a weapon most of us bring onsite is a sturdy pickaxe, wielded – if at all – against bone-jarring earth and rock.
Apologies for all the bubbles I just burst, but truth must be told.
Unless you're reading from a script next to Harrison Ford or Angelina Jolie, should you find yourself on an archaeological site someday, take it from me: It will be some of the hardest work you'll ever do. It's a unique mind-body balance, where physical and intellectual efforts oddly align.
And it will be boring.
But it's a one-off, switched-on, slow-burn kind of boring. Baking patiently in the sun, bent over a shovel or on your knees, scraping soil in noisy but even layers. Watching and waiting for minute color shifts to hold against your Munsell Chart (the archaeologist's version of Pantone color chips – just heavier on the browns).
You'd be amazed at the hairsplitting distinctions to be made between shades of dirt. And textures.
Like snow for Eskimos.
Sipping from a water bottle gone melty hot. Soporific. But sustained by all kinds of unexpected thoughts about what we do in life, and why we do it. Sharpened by the mix of hard graft, mental focus, heat, and glare.
Methodical and mindful attention to the little patch of earth in front of you is the baseline requirement for good, responsible archaeology.
'Responsible' because archaeology is always destructive, no matter how carefully you do it. You take something out of the ground and you can't ever put it back as it was. So you'd darn well better take careful notes and good photographs. Make maps, collect soil samples, create cryptograms – whatever you need – to document what you find as you go, along with the context in which you found it: What else was there? Above or below it? Was it placed deliberately, or carelessly dropped, on its own or with a whole heap of other trash?
Because once you take it out, that context is gone. Forever. And you've got just a pile of stuff in bags and boxes to be washed and labelled. Mostly broken, mainly ugly.
Other people's trash. But precious clues to the people who used them in daily lives we would glimpse through them.
And so the stakes only grow from there, in the phase where we fit together the bits and pieces we've taken from earthen patches we've so painstakingly disarticulated.
We've collected artifacts, but mostly, we've gathered reams of data to be crunched and compared to what others have found. To be pored over alongside library and museum collections, seeking clues in discoveries others have made, to help us weave it all into a coherent and compelling – however tiny – chapter in our shared human history.
And this is where the good part kicks in. Sadly, it takes place long after Hollywood's cameras would have stopped rolling. It's a shame, really, because let's be honest: knowing where we've been is the only way to chart a mindful course for our future. This applies in the collective sense to the cultures that archaeologists study, but also to our individual journeys through this thing called life.
So on this Day of Archaeology, as you think about what interests you most about those who've gone before in this journey, think about what you'dlike to be remembered for.
It's all there in the record of human life: the one already made, and the one we create a bit more each day, just by going about our daily lives.
No Hollywood spin needed.

Veterans resource fair held in Lewiston
More than 40 state, local organizations represented
Veterans got a chance to learn about a number of jobs and resources available to them during a resource fair in Lewiston Saturday.
More than 40 state and local organizations were represented. Veterans were also able to learn about education and counseling benefits.
"One of the things that's difficult for veterans is that there are so many services out there, and there's no central place to go to find out what they are," said Rich Oberg of the Maine Military Community Network. "So when we get together, we network with each other. But more importantly, we can get veterans together, who normally aren't getting services, find out what their entitled to and help them get the services that they need."
A number of organizations, including the Androscoggin County Chamber of Commerce and the Maine Career Center, sponsored the fair.

Juggling a family, work, travel and life in general can be hard. We recently sat down with two people who are pulling it off. They make it look easy, but they will tell you it takes work.
Ephraim Salaam and his wife of 10 years, Renece, are two very busy people who find time for their careers, their family and creating a low-stress home for their two kids.
Ephraim, who played in the NFL for 13 years, is a TV football analyst for FOX and ESPN. He's also moved into acting and owns his own production company, work that often requires traveling around the country. Renece is an entrepreneur managing her own event and decorating business, and together they are raising two young children.
Hear what they have to say when we asked them how they manage to make it all work and what tips they had for others.

Dialing down stress
Here are some ways you can manage stress and your relationships:
- Recognize stress symptoms. Couples often become accustomed to unchecked stress that they may not recognize. When this happens, they can overlook the destructive ramifications of stress.
- Approach your partner. If you see signs of stress, ask your partner what's going on in a kind and compassionate way. Try asking your partner how his or her day was. Do they want to talk about it?
- Listen. We all want to be heard, and we want to feel cared for.
- Comfort first. Many partners forget to console their significant other and instead try to problem solve. A simple hug can often provide relief.
- Get active together. Participating in physical activities is one of the best ways to reduce stress. Plus, new activities can reignite your relationship.
- Adopt stress-reducing rituals. Make a list with your partner of ways to relax and find time for activities.
- Check your "stress temperature." When both you and your partner are stressed, comforting each other can get tricky. It's important that people in relationships have a handle on their own stress, because you can't comfort your partner until you have comforted yourself first. Some psychologists recommend taking a "stress temperature." This means checking in with yourself to see where you fall on a 10-point scale, 10 being "high stress" and 1 being "relaxed." Share your temperatures with each other.
- Ask what you can do. An important way of supporting your loved one is reaching out to help. Try asking, "Is there anything I can do to make your day easier?"
- Keep up with your partner's schedule. Knowing your partner's daily agenda will help you spot potential stressors and be prepared to help. Do they have a big presentation or client interview coming up? Are they taking a test in their toughest class? Is a friend going through a difficult time?
- Consider if there's anything else you can do. Of course you can't ease your partner's stress completely. But you can pay attention to whether he or she is happy and see how you can help.
Unchecked stress can lead to dissatisfaction and disconnection, and ultimately ruin a relationship. But there are many ways you alleviate your own stress and support your partner.
