Everyone knows that eating a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables is important to developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. But a study published by Johns Hopkins Medical School also shows that eating certain vegetables, broccoli in particular, is now linked to lung health in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). How are the two connected?

The lungs contain several antioxidants to help defend against inflammation. Researchers studied the levels of NRF2-dependant antioxidants, as well as their regulators KEAP1 and DJ-1. The KEAP1 inhibits the NRF2 from working, while the DJ-1 regulates it. In the case of a patient with COPD, their NRF2 levels are significantly lower than that of a person with healthy lungs. The severity of COPD can be measured by how low their NRF2 levels are, which usually mean the KEAP1 levels are higher and DJ-1 levels are much lower than average.

The study found that naturally occurring substances found in broccoli can help keep NRF2 levels from disappearing or even increase them, which in turns helps prevent their COPD from becoming too severe. By increasing these levels in the lungs, some researchers believe that this also can restore detoxifying enzymes to the lungs, which help counteract the harmful effects of cigarette smoke. COPD is a disease that results from years of cigarette smoking.

If you are suffering from COPD and don't have a healthy diet, now is a great time to start. Be sure to work closely with your doctor because of your limitations. There's never a bad time to lose weight, and quick weight loss, when done safely, is a great way to keep you motivated. Just remember to eat a sensible diet with plenty of broccoli, and if hunger is a problem for you consider using a natural appetite supplement like hoodia to help curb cravings. The goal is not starvation, but to help improve your condition you will need to make some changes to see results.

Susan Patterson has been studying alternative medicine and health for over 10 years. She loves to write to help others, especially in the area of quick weight loss, which can be accomplished safely. She has found several herbal remedies to be effective in her journey to better health without the side effects that medications cause. She is particularly passionate about hoodia for weight loss.

Extenze Does it really work?

By now we've all been bombarded with hundreds of emails reading "Male Enhancement" and the like to the point of overexposure-not to mention the TV ads. Though most of us chuckle when we see the ads or email subject lines, the truth is that lots of men all over the world actually need these products. As our culture becomes more and more appearance and sex-oriented, more men everyday are feeling increased pressure to larger "where it counts."

Extenze is one of the more recognizable names out there when it comes to male enhancement products. What Extenze sets out to do is make your ***** larger naturally. ExtenZe is made up of a blend of herbal ingredients proven to increase nitric oxide flow in the circulatory system, including Ginkgo Biloba Extract, Calcium, L-Arginine, Yohimbe, Astragalus,  Boron, Cayenne, Catuaba, Ginseng-Eleuthero, Oat Straw, Saw Palmetto, Tribulus Terrestris, Sarsaparilla, Maca Extract, Miura Puama, Nettle,  and Zinc. The idea behind this is that since these herbs work well individually, they must work well in concert.

The theory behind Extenze is that when the flow of nitric oxide in your circulatory system is increased, it helps to relax and expand the blood vessels in the ***** as well as the surrounding erectile tissue. Other powerful herbs present in Extenze-Yohimbe, Catuaba, L-Arginine, Tribulus Terrestris and Mica extract-increase overall blood flow and sexual stamina.

Though the logic behind the theory makes since, there have been mixed results. Look around on the Internet and you'll find some guys who swear by Extenze and some who say it doesn't do anything. Extenze has been approved by the FDA, so it basically comes down to who you believe.

As far as side effects go, not many have been reported. The only one I was able to find is one fellow claiming to experience mild headaches, but that could be caused by something else. Since this is an all-herbal supplement, I wouldn't expect many side effects, unless of course you are allergic to one of the ingredients. As always, look over the ingredients and check with your doctor before taking any pills.

In the end, I would recommend giving Extenze a try if you feel that you need it. Some men claim it really does increase the girth and length of their penis, some say otherwise. Regardless, the herbal ingredients of Extenze are certainly good for you. Some men out there have even used it to treat high cholesterol problems because it's all-natural and has no side effects. Once again, consult your doctor first, of course.

Extenze does tend to be a bit pricey, however, and there are some products out there that have the exact same ingredients at a much better price-the only difference is that you probably haven't heard of them. Do some research and decide for yourself. Whichever pill you decide on at the very least will probably boost your circulatory system and stamina. The best case scenario, of course is that your ***** length and girth will be increased, providing increased pleasure for your partner and increased confidence for you.

Okay, bear with me for a few moments...the last couple months, there has been something bothering me. Now, please don't think I am coming down on worship leaders everywhere, or even questioning their motives. I just personally think we need to watch how we portray what we are doing in our worship services and how it comes across to others. One of my favorite blogs has a thing every week called Sunday Setlists...Like I said, I am not taking aim at them. It is a great way of seeing how other ministers are arranging services and worshipping corporately. My beef is that it "sounds" more like a performance of man than a worship of God. I don't want my worship to be a "setlist" of music to entertain. I guess the whole "setlist" problem mainly comes from my DJ days. My prayer is that we will come back to the heart of true worship...where it's not about us at all! There, I got that off my chest, whew! Now, I feel better...

Okay, so for today's passage, we look to Psalm 5:7-9..."But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. (8) Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. (9) For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue."

Here, David is asking for God's overall guidance in his life. We should look at verse 7 when we come to His house to worship Him. We should come in lowness of spirit...humbly...praising His great mercy upon us!!! Let's corporately ask the Lord to lead our steps today. I am challenging you to come with me on this journey...

Lord, lead us in your righteousness, because our enemies in this world are looking to trip us daily. Light our paths before us...show us where you want us to go...Let us see the folly of the words they speak that don't ring true...Let us see the heart of them, that we may not be fooled by their smooth talk...Keep us strong, even though they tell us what our flesh longs to hear...Thank you, Lord for your faithfulness and mercy...We deserve none of it!!!

Thank you for letting me share my heart with you today. I pray that we can all think about what worship is meant to be. Like I've quoted "The Heart of Worship" before..."It's all about you...Jesus"...

Please let me know if there is a special prayer I can word on your behalf today...

scriptures quoted are taken from the King James Version of the Holy Bible

In the eleventh hour, your best friend who's getting married is in tears.

The professional she hired to photograph her wedding bailed. You happen to have a digital SLR and all of a sudden you're it. Here's my survival guide for you.

1. Make a "Shot List".

Think of this as your "storyboard."

A guide to the different scenes you want to see if you were doing a movie.

This shot list will break down what you might concentrate on in the 3 phases of any wedding: preparations, ceremony and reception.

It's your cheatsheet on the order of the events, various arrangements for the formal portraits, so go over this with the couple.

2. Shoot lots of candids.

Just because you have everyone bossing you around, telling you to take their picture, it doesn't mean you have to pose all your subjects in every picture.

3. Scout out the location.

If the ceremony, reception and preparations are all at one location, then you can thank your lucky stars. Count on starting your day with the bride wherever she plans to get dressed. She may do this at the church or at home, so count on knowing the route.

4. Borrow or rent a second camera body similar to the one you own.

Since you'll be working quickly, having identical camera bodies will allow you change settings faster. Consider renting identical flash units if you don't have one. Never shoot a wedding with just one camera. Always have a backup. If you have to rent more memory cards and batteries for the cameras, do so.It will be worth your piece of mind.

5. Shoot closeups or details

Be on the lookout for tight shots of the diamond rings, bouquet of flowers, party favors, textures on the bride's gown et cetera. These will make good backdrops for albums and backgrounds for DVD menus. These detail pictures will also give you variety in your coverage.

6. Do as many of the formal group portraits beforehand.

If the couple is open to this and don't mind seeing each other before the ceremony, do as many of the formals portraits beforehand.

7. Enlist the help of Maid-of-honor.

Women like this role more often than men. (Must be their maternal instincts)

The Maid-of-honor is usually more than happy to help. If you don't hit it off with her, try the Best Man.

8. Establish a rapport with the DJ & Wedding Coordinator.

Get to know the DJ & Wedding Coordinator. Being on the same page with both of them means you will be scrambling and out of position for the toast, the bouquet toss, the garter toss, the first dance and so on.

9. Be considerate of the other guests.

Even though what you're doing is important, don't be obnoxious. If another guest is in your way, ask politely for them to move.

10. Don't forget to enjoy yourself.

You can't be expected to be everywhere especially if this is your 1st wedding. Generally speaking, once the ceremony and the formal portraits are done, you can catch a breather. The rest of the proceedings will not happen without the DJ & wedding coordinator consulting you if you followed tip #8.

Remember if you're not having fun taking pictures, your images will reflect that.

I've observed that Mexican music falls into two classes. One is very, very good; the other is so horrible that it could quite possibly induce a nervous breakdown or at least a brain tumor after forced, prolonged exposure. Listening to too much of the latter could be hazardous to your health.

The orchestra here in Guanajuato is one of the finest I've ever heard, and I listen with a critical ear. I was a music major at the university many decades ago. I majored in voice performance and music theory.

I've often been moved to tears of joyous rapture listening to some the finest vocalists and instrumentalists-all Mexicans. But, the most exciting thing is to see how many locals show up at the concerts. The symphony is big here. I love that.

Mariachi is also big here. In the city of Guanajuato, you will see some very traditionally dressed Mariachi bands in El Jardin (the main plaza). There will be several of these bands playing all at once for different groups of tourists who are eating in the restaurants or sitting on the benches. This results in what I call "The Mariachi Screech."

Playing instruments that are in tune and singing in the same key as the instruments does not seem to be a high priority with Mariachi bands. This, of course, results in an interestingly incomprehensible cacophonous roar. But, amazingly, people pay these guys to sing at their tables. It makes me wonder just how that affects their digestion. I can only speculate.

Another form of music is what I call "The Bus Musicians." I can't think of anyplace in the States where there is anything like this. Decades ago, when I traveled in New York and Philly, I saw a lot of sidewalk performers with open instrument cases or hats where you could drop a buck or two but I never saw any Bus Musicians.

Bus Musicians are people with guitars (or some other "instrument"...sometimes nothing more than a comb and a tin can...go figure!) who board the bus-no matter how crowded-and start wailing like a cat that is being tortured horribly. The guitar sound as though it has never been tuned. The singer sings like he has needed to move his bowels for a terribly long time. Then, after he has finished his torture chamber musical number and has tortured all the passengers, he starts demanding money.

These "musicians" ask for money and people actually pay them.

This, of course, simply reinforces the behavior of taking captive an entire bus load of helpless bus passengers who just want to get from point A to point B, and forcing them to endure what doesn't even come close to passing for music. I think they should be dragged away and beaten, but no one ever asks me for an opinion about anything in this town.

And, I am talking about those who pay money to the so-called musicians and not the Musical Inquisitors who dole out the agony.

Here is an additional benefit about the Bus Musicians that I cannot forget to tell you. When the bus is full (as is usually the case), you, the passenger, will be afforded the distinct honor of getting cold-cocked by the guitar as the "musician" engages in his Songs of Death. You also might have the privilege of a nice shower of spittle from the more radically rowdy spewing lips.

There is one guy, though I've yet to see him on the bus offering his version of tormenting people, who is worth mentioning. He offers a really special treat. Though I would not normally understand one word spoken from his caterwauling mouth, I understand him because he sings some of The Beatles' greatest hits. Even though he hacks on an out-of-tune guitar and sings off-key, I can recognize The Beatles. The horror is that he sings the songs in English.

His performing venues are the parks and plazas. He sits with his back to one of the many beautiful fountains. He has the "Jose Feliciano" look going for him, which accompanies his horrendously frightening singing.

The other day, he was butchering "I want to hold your hand." It came out something like this:

"Ah wanna hoe who haaaa... Ah wanna hoe who haaaa...and when ah tosh who ah fee apple in-sigh..."

And then, he got to the chorus,

"And when I touch you I feel happy inside. It's such a feeling I can't hide."

He began screeching and convulsing to such an extent he made women swoon with the vapors, made children cry, dogs faint, and shopkeepers come running out expecting to find someone being murdered.

His special musical number, however, is the song "Twist and Shout." His version sounds something like this:

"Twee who s-howt, Twee who s-howt. Com-ah. Com-ah bay-bah..." and on and on.

Do you see what you are missing here in Guanajuato, Mexico?

We Iranians spend an unnecessary amount of time on many aspects of life. Think of our traditions. Once we plan for any ceremony, it is such a pain for all the involved ones. We stress ourselves because there are many considerations we have to have at the same time in order to play this fictional game we have to play. Some of us, we Iranian are really good actors and actresses; by playing our roles perfectly we can cope with the many challenges of life that choke us every day. In our families we have many implicit norms that are at times exaggerated and blown out of proportion.

Many of our traditions give us the same headache as we continuously sacrifice excessive amount of time, efforts, money, energy, and resources, on many things that at the end only trivia or illusions.

Our traditions cultural, religious, family-based, community-based, whatever they are, sometimes they involve many elements of obsessions, exaggeration, and histrionically compulsions. If we are celebrating something or if we are grieving a dead one or if we are making a memorial for someone who died long time ago in our history, all and all have the same message: Too much. It is time to incorporate simplicity, serenity, and peacefulness into our customs and style of lives. It is time to separate emotions from thoughts and it is time to understand the power of our mind.

Overstatement, extremism and obsessions are some of main characteristics for many of our customs and traditions. Simplicity is rather a thing that we Iranian (most of us) do not appreciate; we like to act bigger than we are. Let me use an example.

Are you one who is interested to go out to the bushes and camp? One of the lessons the wilderness campers learn once they want to go out to the bushes and explore life, is that once they see a Grizzly beer they should either play dead or make an image bigger than what they are. Supposedly you can scare the wild animal if you make him / her believe that you are bigger physically, more powerful, or stronger.

Now we Iranian have a natural tendency to use this lesson. We try to either play dead or act bigger than what we are in order to cope with the inferiority feelings that we are dealing with. Many people who are living in Iran, all our relatives, they testify that by not getting involved with the power authorities, meaning by playing dead, they can live their life although many bizarre things happening constantly. This game is also helpful in many other situations, however, once we try to act bigger that what we are, then we are in danger. What if the Grizzly beer does not believe us? What if we are exposed? What if we have internalized a sense of powerlessness and fear, which make us unable to stand up on our feet and scream? There are many what-if we have to consider if we choose to play this game.

Now I am generalizing too much to the line of exaggerations. Sometimes we need to hear some thought provoking stories in order to wake up from a day dream. Many of us are living under pressure and stress over a life in migration, a home country that is on fire already, and a future we are not sure about.

Our schema of the self, of the other, and of the world is in jeopardy.

We are not sure about what else to do. We are waiting for the hero of our stories who comes with a white horse and save us. We play dead until we have that hero out there who can give us a sense of safety. Then we go out and act as if we are bigger than the Grizzly beer.

One way or another, exaggerations in our emotions, in our thoughts, and in our behaviors have to be stopped.

Exaggeration and obsession over trivia pushes us away from rational thinking and healthy decision making.

We did not use to be this complex. I guess by the terms of a complex situation governing our lives, we have internalized all the obsessions and compulsions.

By internalizing I mean integrating and incorporating many aspects of historic oppression into our lives. If we repeat a lie ten times we end up believing the lie, although we know back in our head that the statement is indeed a lie.

Culturally, historically, socially, politically, and psychologically we Iranian tend to believe in many lies, although at times we know the difference between right and wrong. Exaggeration is one of those many characteristics that are creeping into our culture (it has done it for a long time) despite our core beliefs about a spiritual and happy life. We have to stop believing in lies and return to our simple human nature.

My name is Poran. Past 23 years of my life of Iran, I have always had an extra interest for any news, any project, or any research about how our immigrating lives compel us to do or be. I have rarely found researches that have been looking into our Iranian way of living and how we deal with mental health issues. My writing is about exploring new ideas within the old ideas of our Iranian life. My writing is about to embody our true self that has been neglected, ignored, and rejected forever. Now it is time for us Iranian to find our true self and get to know our self. Let me introduce us to us.

Weddings carry with them huge costs. You have the photography, the videotaping, the catering, the car rental and the bridal dress. If you are a couple without much funds, then you need to find out ways to save on your expenses. We discovered some few areas where you can cut down on your bridal costs without sacrificing quality.

Unless you are considering a traditional or formal wedding you can do away with limo hire and get a sedan. These days many people are renting out classic cars at very affordable prices. The couple on budget can hire out these types for the event.

You can create your own invitations. You only need a PC with printer. There are many free sites that would even offer you ideas for free.

Reduce the number of invited guests. This reduction will give you lower costs in the catering and in the invitations sent out. Restrict the invited guests to only those who matter most.

Rent a reception site that provided catering and entertainment as well. You will beat down the cost and have the added benefit of avoiding inbound transportation.

Do your own decoration. Silk flowers are the easiest to manage. You can obtain them from the local floral shop. Choose colors that will go with your theme, season and preferences of the couple. You can also have bouquets, balloons and even natural flowers rolled into twines. You can use this greenery for your reception hall entrance aches.

A live band is more expensive than a DJ. A DJ can give you the same musical ambiance you want from a band. A casual wedding can do away with the band and get the DJ play the CDs. It wont make much of a difference. You should get a good DJ with experience in wedding ceremonies.

You can have your wedding at a cost you can afford. Its only a matter of substituting services and going for low cost options.

Information on wedding planning and wedding vows is readily available. You can also easily get advice about wedding favors.

A nightclub promoter is a guy or girl who gets people to attend parties. These events can be at bars, nightclubs, concerts, festivals, or private parties. Club promoters are also called party promoters. Nightclub promoters advertise and promote their events in many different ways, to get as many people to show up as possible. I've been a party promoter for over 10 years, and these are some of my favorite promoting tips.

First off, the job of a club promoter is really one of the best jobs there is.

You meet all kinds of people, tell them about great parties, party with them all the time, and get paid well to do it. The job isn't for everyone though. It entails staying out late on the weekends while being the center of attention. But if you go out all the time with your friends anyway, why not make a living doing it?

Nightclub promoters normally get paid per person they bring to an event. Because of this, nightclub promoting can be a great way to earn some extra money if you can get a bunch of people to show up at events. For example, if a club is paying you $5 per person that you bring to their party, getting 20 people to show up will earn you a cool $100. If you are a friendly and outgoing person, it is pretty easy to get 20+ people to come to an event. If you are really good at it, you can make a great full time living doing it!

The best way to get into club promoting is to get hired on by a promotion company to start. The promotion company contracts out with certain nightclubs for certain nights of the week. So, maybe the company promotes Thursday night with club ABC, and Friday night with club XYZ. The clubs hire promotion companies to get people into their venues, so all they have to worry about is the alcohol sales. Often times, the cover charge that you pay to get in is not going to the nightclub, but the promotion company. The club is making it's money (and tons of it) from alcohol sales.

For Example:

Let's say the cover charge at a nightclub is $10 on a Saturday night. The promotion company gets this money in exchange for bringing people to the club. The promotion company hires "sub-promoters" to work for it as independent contractors, and may pay each promoter $5 per head that they get through the door, and the company keeps $5 for itself. Your job as a sub-promoter is to get as many people to come to the party as you can. If you can get 50 people to the club, you walk home that night with $250 cash. If you can do that 3 nights a week, you'll rake in $750 a week. Once you get the hang of it, 50 people per night is not that hard to do.

Club promoters use many different tools to get people to their events week after week. A combination of email lists, handing out glossy flyers, text messages, active networking, and other tools like MySpace & Facebook can really get the word out about your party. Nightclub Promoter Tips is a great free resource for Party Promoters.

Once you master working under a promotion company, the next step is to start your own company and hire sub-promoters to work for you. This is where the real money is. Using our same example, let's say you hire 10 promoters to work for you, and they each bring on average 50 people per night. While you are paying each of them $5 of the cover charge per person, you are keeping $5 for yourself. $5x500 people = $2500 per event. You can see what your income can be if you had 2 or 3 events per week. Many promotions companies clear well over $5000 a week in the right markets, with the right knowhow.

Nightclub promoting can be an extremely fun and rewarding career for certain people. It's not the type of job that is widely known about either. If you have good business sense, love to party with people, and have a creative side, it can be a dream job. It certainly has been for me.

Tips for Nightclub Promoters:

Tip #1: Customer Loyalty is Everything for a nightclub promoter. Once you've made a name for yourself and have a large group of people that come to your parties all the time, make sure you take care of them. If you take care of your customers, they will keep coming back. It is much easier to keep the same people coming back to your events than to spend money trying to attract new customers. One thing I do to keep my customers happy is to buy drinks for the people that come by my events the most. If you regularly see someone at your parties, and they always bring a bunch of people with them, make sure to take care of that person and frequently buy them drinks and get to know them. Keep that person loyal to your parties, and you'll get more great "word of mouth" advertising, which is the best kind.

Tip #2: As a nightclub promoter, do everything in your power to get girls to attend your events. Hire girls to hand out your fliers to other girls, play music that the girls in your area like, have a ladies night, whatever it takes. Once you have a large group of women coming to your parties, the men will follow automatically. One of the biggest mistakes I see new club promoters doing is catering to a niche music genre that only men listen to. These events never last too long, because no money can be made from a sausage fest.

Tip #3: Hire a good photographer to take nightclub photos of your parties. Do this at every event, and post the photos online for people to see later. Every nightclub promoter should be doing this all the time. Party people love to go online Monday morning after a crazy weekend and see themselves out having fun. They share the photos with friends, and this gets more people interested in your parties. Make sure your website or logo is on the photo as a watermark too. It's great advertising. Humans are very visual creatures. Feed their visual senses and personal egos and they will keep coming back again and again.

If you were to ask someone on the street what podcasting is, most of them will not have any idea what you are talking about. They will ask if you said "broadcasting." You might explain to them that it is a special audio file that you can listen to on your MP3 player. But even then you would not be doing it justice. Here are some other ways of understanding what podcasting is.

Do you remember your childhood when the people in your household fought over the sections of the newspaper that had been delivered to your door? If you can imagine that same newspaper, rather than being delivered in one section to your front door, but being packaged up in individual sections for each member of your family, with the sections that are not read left out completely.

That is one way to think of podcasting: the information that you are interested in delivered to you, without the stuff you don't want. Some people have called podcasting TiVo radio.

Another way to think of podcasting is like a radio program that is only about your specific interests and when you click the link or synchronize your MP3 player with your computer, it gets downloaded to you automatically.

It’s like you’re the owner of the radio station. You tell the DJ what you want to hear and they’ll play it for you. All news? All sports? Regular updates on the financial markets? Entertainment news? Information on your industry? No problem, it’s all at your personal DJ’s fingertips and in moments it’s playing in your ears.

And a third way to think of podcasting is a targeted audio program for businesses to add value to their customers and prospects, and for organizations to pass information on to their users.

However you think of podcasting, other people will still give you a funny look because it is still in its infancy. In fact, the term ”podcasting“ was only coined in 2004! It won’t be long, though.

All the best for your online success
