Faith is the key to spiritual growth and requires a deep and personal connection with God.
If you are looking for a place where you can connect with God, connect with new friends and connect with your destiny – You have found it! Spend a few minutes here to see what we are all about. We are here to help you make a difference in your life.
Faith is the key to spiritual growth and requires a deep and personal connection with God. He wants to be the head of our hearts, king of our souls, and guide to our spirits. By allowing Him free reign in these areas we create an opportunity for lasting intimacy with the Creator. From intimacy comes confidence – in Him and in us. Here are six ways I increase my faith and confidence. You might also find them helpful.
Our Beliefs
There is one God the Creator: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God; we believe in His virgin birth, in his sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, His abiding intercession and in His imminent return.
In the person and work of the Holy Spirit with His fruits and gifts abiding in the Church.
The Bible is the living word of God – infallible, authoritative and everlasting, and the foundation of all Christian doctrine.
In the spiritually lost condition of all people and the essential need for the "new birth" by faith in Jesus Christ.
In the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a gift available to believers subsequent to the new birth, with the normal initial evidence of speaking in other tongues.
In the sacraments of the Lord's Supper and baptism by full immersion in water for all believers.
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
In the church being the body of Christ, and each member being an active part of a local church, fulfilling the Great Commission.
Our Compass
God has called us to be a house of prayer. When we get together, unified in prayer, we are able to see the future of our church and we order our steps accordingly. We listen and we step out in boldness to accomplish what God has called us to do. Our church is built on prayer.
Our Vision
As a New Testament Church, God has called us to speak to the culture that we live in, in a way that they can understand. Our music, our out reach, our style, our way of looking at ministry is relevant to the culture we live in.
God has called us to reach people, teach them about life in the kingdom of God, and empower them to fulfill their God given potential.
Our Culture
Bright, Positive, Fun, Relevant, Powerful! At The Rock of Greensboro, God has called us to create an environment where God can live and move and touch people's lives. A culture full of faith, excitement, and fun. A culture where God's word is taught, disciples are made and lives are changed.
We invite you to join us on the wonderful journey of seeing God glorified throughout all the earth.
In the simplest terms, Christian Meditation is "Being with God." It is dwelling in his presence. It is coming and sitting before God without an agenda; it is simply being with God for the mere pleasure of being with God.That sounds simple enough, right? But some thing gets in the way of us just being with God. What do you think it is? If you said "Our thoughts" you're absolutely right.
When we try to just be with God or dwell within his presences our thoughts about anything and everything begin to flood our minds. And whether these thoughts are good or bad, it keeps us from focusing solely on the Lord. So what can we do to stop or eliminate these thoughts so we can keep our focus on the Lord?
Well it is impossible to completely stop all thoughts, but what we can do is not put our attention on them. And the best way to do this is to have a sacred word or a scripture phrase to meditate on instead. This word or scripture phrase helps us to bring our attention back to God and the present moment each time our mind wanders off in thought.
Jesus said, I will keep thee in perfect peace whose mind is stayed, fixed, or meditating on me. Repeating a sacred word or scripture when our mind has wandered off in a random thought, helps us to bring our attention back to God and his presence.
What sacred word or scripture phrase can you use? The words Jesus, Lord, Savior, Love, Peace, Holy Spirit, God, Father, Creator, Trust and Faith are all rooted in the Bible. For scripture phrase you can choose all or parts of Psalms 23, The Lords prayer, Proverbs 3, etc. You will need to memorize them first. In addition to repeating your scripture word or phrase, playing soft music quietly in the background can also have a quieting effect on the mind.
Spiritual growth takes time. Not unlike any other relationship, developing an intimate and personal relationship with God requires an effort on our part. It requires us to be willing, present, and vulnerable. When we offer ourselves in this regard, and follow the steps outlined above, we mature spiritually and connect with God on deeper levels. In essence, we grow in confidence – in Him and in ourselves.

Reviews & Ratings
Featured review from Daniel N.
view more less of this review
The lead in the cast was outstanding! Broadway material at the least!
A downer of a plot but the cast was uniformly excellent. A brilliant job by the company and one of their best. I am making sure to see all their productions next season. Never want to miss one as good as this one was!
From a new team of writers comes a hard-edged, hard-boiled commentary on the American political machine. Part tabloid, part "The Manchurian Candidate," The Fix is a totally original biting satire ripped from the headlines of today, yesterday and most likely tomorrow. A popular presidential candidate is dead, and his wife, who has power on the brain, thrusts her son into the political spotlight. Her maniacal scheming is matched only by that of her crippled brother-in-law, who will stop at nothing to see the boy elected. Together, the three of them make up one of the most dysfunctional almost-first families this side of real-life Washington politics.
With a driving, riveting score by John Dempsey and Dana P. Rowe (The Witches of Eastwick), The Fix is a powerful, nightmarish, hysterical roller coaster of a musical.
Directed by Randy Brenner
Musical direction by Darryl Archibald
Choreography by Heather Castillo
First presented in London in 1997, The Fix is part of the Festival of New American Musicals being celebrated all over Southern California in May and June 2008.
Preceding the performance and during intermission, Musical Theatre Guild's first annual Silent Auction will occur. Top items include a Las Vegas package including tickets to Phantom and collectible theater memorabilia.

Will Wade's "Chaos" seemed to be missing a few letters Saturday night.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga rarely used its full-court presses in a 108-51 beating of Montreat, especially after the Cavaliers diced it several times in the opening minutes.
A multitude of full-court pressures is a staple of what Wade has brought to UTC since his hiring as coach in May. "Chaos" is a key component of how he wants the Mocs to play.
"I'm disappointed that we couldn't get our full-court pressure going," Wade said. "We didn't have it. We weren't into it as we needed to be."
Full-court pressure is going to be vital in games against Division I competition.
"They have some things that they need to work out, and Will knows that," said Montreat coach Lincoln Walters, a former UTC player. "If the press is beat, you're giving up layups, and early on we saw that and got some easy transition points."
How? On one occasion, Montreat point guard Kerigan Farley inbounded the pass, faked one way, then took a flipped pass back to him and dribbled all the way to the basket for a layup less than two minutes into the game.
"We screened the backside of their press, no matter what it was," Walters said. "In short, handed it back to the point guard going downhill so he could see the floor."
Walters had a little advance knowledge of how UTC would defend his Cavaliers in the full court. It came while the two coaches were standing in line for lunch during the Southern Conference Tip-Off last month in Asheville.
"Will said, 'We have 12 presses in and we need to get our other five in,'" Walters recalled. "I thought, 'I didn't know there were 17 different presses.'"
Apparently there are in Wade's system.
But the Mocs barely used them Saturday. They didn't need to -- in large part because UTC played stout half-court defense against an inferior opponent -- and it would have been disrespectful to press Walters' team after leading by 21 points at halftime.
"We didn't have an urgency to match up; we didn't have an urgency in our traps," Wade said. "We were just lackadaisical in our press. That's unacceptable effort. We looked like we didn't want to press tonight. I told them that."
Yet UTC forced 28 turnovers and made 20 steals with sophomore Gee McGhee swiping the ball five times. Most of that production came from what Wade called the best half-court defense UTC has played all season -- in a practice or a game.
"We'll take all the negatives and try to fix what we can," sophomore wing Casey Jones said. "We went to the locker room and talked right about Kennesaw State and the mistakes we made tonight."
The Mocs host fellow NCAA Division I team Kennesaw at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

A Cleveland, Tenn., man is in custody after police say he fired several gunshots today during a domestic dispute.
About 2:15 a.m., a woman told Cleveland police that her boyfriend, Brian Wilke, 28, attacked her and fired his handgun twice in the house, police spokeswoman Evie West said.
The woman told police Wilke was threatening to shoot police if they came inside, West said.
After taking the woman out of the house, police sent a bomb robot into the home to make contact with Wilke, said West.
Once Wilke's location was determined, officers entered the residence and took him into custody, West said.

An event featuring Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Anne Sexton, and Virgina Woolf is coming. The Loft Literary Center is summoning deceased literary icons for its annual Dead Writers' Party. So put on your Sylvia Plath costume, slap an Edgar Allan Poe mustache and necktie on your surly date, and get ready to mingle with the late greats of the book world. There will be a brief open mic at 6:15 p.m., followed by an undoubtedly hilarious (and possibly creepy) Ouija Board séance led by local writers Scott Wrobel, Matt Rasmussen, Nona Kennedy Carlson, and Sarah Caflisch.

Achieving the school's mission of supplying students with a strong faith-based education is what Lincoln Christian School feels helped it earn the honor of being one of the top 50 Christian Schools in the U.S., according to thebestschools.org.
Faculty strives to help students improve in academics, athletics, extra curricular activities and worship. It's a push in the right direction that motivates students to work hard in and out of the classroom. "We're pushed to another level, like we have something greater that we can achieve," said junior Dana Van Ostrand.
Administrators say they know the ultimate measure of their success as educators is the quality of students produced by the school.

In the end, I think the pecking order will be the same. The biggest wild card being Hankook...can they continue with their success? I think it was by accident that the RS3s are so popular. I have never seen an instance where a South Korean car company was innovative.
Most of the Dunlop Star Spec sizes are 200 UTQG, most of the Bridgestone RE11s are 180, and most of the Hankook RS3s are 140. UTQG doesn't really mean much when comparing between brands however. It was intended to be the case originally, but manufacturers have skewed the numbers.
I don't really consider they RS3s being innovative. They aren't good in wet. They don't last a long time. They are just fast. Fast in the autox, fast on the track. I hate the soft sidewalls they have. Most all of our customers that track their cars, get accelerated tire wear on the outside shoulder, even on cars that have dual wishbone suspensions with lots of camber. The compound is closer to an RComp than a true street tire.
Now, if they could make them Fast, Durable, with a stiff sidewall and good in the wet, we'd have a winner.
To date, the Star Spec and the Bridgestone RE11 win in the all around departments - fast, wet, good sideway, durable - in my opinion. Funny, cause the successors to both are being released next spring. Can't wait.

The Hubris of Policymakers Often Harms the Poor »
By John C. Goodman | Wednesday June 5, 2013 at 9:21 AM PST | 6 Comments
Most people in public policy do not understand complex systems. They really don't understand social science models either. As a result, the idea that a policy based on good intentions could actually make things worse is beyond their comprehension. Take health policies designed for low-income patients. Through our insistence on pushing low-income families into...

2015 Dodge Charger
By Tony Swan
On Sale: Fall 2014
Expected Pricing: Starting around $26,000
By that standard, the 2015 Dodge Charger rates as an extensive freshening. There are new aluminum axles and axle housings, but the chassis is otherwise unchanged and the engines, the basic 3.6-liter V6 (292 horsepower, 260 pound-feet of torque) and optional 5.7-liter Hemi V8 (370 hp, 395 lb-ft, available with R/T and R/T Road & Track models), are carryover. With the V6, the 2015 Charger is EPA-rated for 31 mpg Highway, best in class, according to Dodge.
A new supercharged Hemi is anticipated, as is a higher performance SRT model from Chrysler's in-house hot rod shop, but neither was part of the Dodge presentation at April's New York International Auto Show.
But there is one significant power delivery addition: Chrysler's 8-speed automatic transmission becomes a standard feature with the Hemi V8, as well as the V6, and is the only transmission offered. All-wheel drive continues to be available, and features a new active transfer case that automatically disconnects the front axle when it's not needed. Dodge claims this feature can improve fuel economy by up to 5 percent.
However, if the engines are familiar, the sheetmetal is almost all new: grille, headlights, hood, fenders, and rear fascia. The roof and rear doors are the only exterior panels that survive, although the base of the rearmost roof pillar has been angled aft, giving the rear window a faster slope and visually reducing the rear overhang.
Other new exterior details include projector beam headlamps, LED fog lamps, a three-piece rear spoiler (standard on R/T models), redesigned center high-mounted stop lamp, and Dodge's racetrack LED taillight array spanning the entire rear end. The wheels are also new for all four trim levels, with six different 20-inch styles, including a forged aluminum set, 20 x 9 inches.
The overall design goal was to preserve the Charger's muscle car aura of power while simultaneously making it appear smaller and lighter, even though the 2015 Charger dimensions are almost exactly the same as those of the current (outgoing) car. Response to the visual sleight-of-hand remains to be seen; this is still a full-size sedan and looks like it. But the new Charger does sustain the powerful presence that has distinguished this car since its 2006 introduction. Dodge cites the 1969 Charger as the inspiration for the 2015 redesign, from the heyday of the muscle car era. Never mind that the '69 Chargers were coupes.
The all-new interior includes new seats, extensive soft touch material on the dash, center console, and door panels, with eight different trim packages, including cloth and leather upholstery choices.
The sporty three-spoke steering wheel is new, backed by paddle shifters (optional). A new electronic feature delivers brisk shift times, 400 milliseconds, according to Dodge, diminishing to 250 milliseconds in sport mode, which also holds the selected gear to redline. Sporty also applies to the electronic power steering, updated to provide three modes, normal, comfort, and sport, that vary effort to suit the driver's mood.
New telematics abound in the 2015 Dodge Charger. A standard 7-inch TFT (thin film transistor) programmable screen nestles between the speedometer and tachometer, with programmable info including Dodge Performance Pages.

A-list dev calls Android apps 'watered down'
How do developers write apps for the scores of hardware variations that characterize the Android platform? They shoot for the broadest compatibility and that means writing for the lowest common denominator, which has led to inferior features and quality (let the fandroid vituperation begin).
GeekWire has published an interview with K.C. MacLaren, Starbucks' director of mobile and emerging platforms, and he has few kind words for Google's Android development tools or the ecosystem they're designed to serve.
You mentioned … that Android is a 'watered down' experience. What did you mean by that?
MacLaren: "In a broad sense, in terms of some of the fragmentation in Android, with multiple resolutions, multiple screen sizes, different capabilities of different platforms that run Android, some users may find that they have to produce a watered down experience. They can't deliver a consistent one. If they are using a lot of native device elements — like the accelerometer and the camera and gyroscope and all of the different pieces of the hardware — those are handled very differently on different devices. So, if you needed that, you might not be able to deliver that in a great way… [Also] their SDK — in terms of development environment — is really now maturing. They are about a year behind where Apple is, but they are catching up."
Thereupon, MacLaren says his company is working on extending mobile payments via the iPhone, something that's been available in limited release since January. However, Starbucks doesn't yet offer an Android app and, as you might imagine, all of those hardware and interface iterations could play havoc with a payment system.
Interestingly, MacLaren is more optimistic about rolling the company's iPhone app overseas than pushing out an Android version here in the U.S. Additionally, Starbucks has no immediate plans to roll an iPad app, though one imagines that's merely a matter of choosing to and then porting it up to the larger form factor.
Are we there yet?
I keep going to the local Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile stores hoping to be seriously impressed by an Android device and it just hasn't happened. There's nice hardware to be had and I like the devices per se, but not love like I do the iPhone and iPad.
Apparently, I'm not alone in this view. Moreover, given that Google and its partners still lag iPhone development by at least a year, this state of affairs won't be changing anytime soon…
What's your take?

The Starbucks iPhone app runs fine on the iPad – obviously less convenient to wave a giant pad at the scanner to pay on the go … And unlike android tablet apps which are simply scaled up phone apps, iPad users expect iPad apps to exponentially increase the interactivity along with the extra space unless its just a video player.
May 17th, 2011
Yes, yes … one device to RULE them all and to coddle lazy devs. We've heard it all before and if this is true then why would ANYONE in their right mind not just flock to OSX and leave Windows behind? Not that I'm a Windows user .. I have an iPad and an 11′ MBP. I do have an HTC Thunderbolt and I wouldn't trade it for my iPhone 3GS for anything. Just tired of the same old lazy arguments. If you application is best experienced on higher end Android phones like the Inspire or the Thunderbolt but not on the lower end phones .. THEN just bloody write it for them and make it so unless they have a higher end device they can't see it in the market. You need to cater to the audience that you are trying to reach instead of whining about the fact that Android runs on most anything. #fail

Selina M. Luger, MD
Ultima Vez Modificado: 17 de febrero del 2002
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My Mom has been recently diagnosed w/ AML and I was wondering if there was any information on "therapy related AML". Her bone marrow biopsy showed that her leukemia was caused by chemotherapy she had in 2/95 for breast cancer.
Thank you for your time.
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Unfortunately, therapy that we use for the treatment of breast cancer as well as other cancers has been associated with later development of leukemia, or cancer of the bone marrow. Although one can never be absolutely certain that the leukemia is caused by the breast cancer treatment, there are certain things that are suggestive. Certain types of chemotherapy cause leukemia to occur anywhere from 18 months to 3 years after the treatment, others don't cause leukemia for up to 5-7 years. Sometimes when we look at the DNA or chromosomes in the leukemia cells, there are changes that suggest that the leukemia came from the prior therapy. This information might be helpful to your mother's doctors when they decide what therapies to use to treat her, but that is generally guided by other factors, such as your mother's age, what her other chemotherapy was, her general health, etc.
Feb 19, 2013 - Since the 1970s, the risk of developing therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia after chemotherapy has varied over time, depending on the initial cancer type and treatment practices, according to a study published online Feb. 14 in Blood.

Gaiman Gears Up for Series 7 Part 2
Production is commencing on Neil Gaiman's episode for Series 7: Part 2 with filming beginning soon.
The script read-through took place on Halloween (appropriately) and Gaiman tweeted the pic above featuring himself and Jenna-Louise Coleman.
Doctor Who Magazine's Benjamin Cook added to the hype promising that the new script is "something really special."
Meanwhile, Matt Smith offered a tiny tease: "It's very different [to The Doctor's Wife]. But again I think it will be a fan's favourite because, well, without giving anything away, it just will be, because there's something in it… Neil's brilliant ideas will always add a level to Doctor Who, which will be interesting."
There should be some filming details soon.

Google beats Amazon to the Android movie space
Summary: I was asking for Amazon to bring their movies to Android and then Google went ahead and beat them to it. You can get rentals now for the Xoom with Android 2.2 support coming soon.
Back in March when Amazon brought their Cloud Drive solution to Android devices I wrote that they should continue and extend that to videos so that the Android platform had a video ecosystem to compete with iOS. It seems that Google beat Amazon to the punch today with their new movie rental service that should help satisfy millions of Android smartphone and tablet owners.
I am a big fan of renting movies on my mobile devices, primarily on the iPad through iTunes, because as a frequent traveler it is MUCH cheaper to load up a rented movie on my device rather than pay the crazy fees in the hotel room. I also never purchase electronic versions of movies because it is rare that I watch a movie more than once anyway. Rentals are where the focus should be and I am pleased to see Google is offering this service now for Android devices.
The service is live now, but you will only be able to watch the movies on the Verizon Xoom at first (an update is rolling out for this device today). An update to Android 2.2 and above devices will roll out in the coming weeks.

Motorola Releases an Official Bootloader Unlocker 123
from the uncommonly-helpful dept.
actually this is real possibility, because of pressure for battery capacity and size manufacturers of most smartphones have to use some very unstable materials for battery ones that DID have exploding problems before.
in order to stop batteries from overheating or exploding there are pretty sophisticated chips
"we put some mechanisms to protect you in this phone, should you remove it and hurt yourself somehow its your fault we are not paying a million bucks for damages to you or your family"
There are never any bugs you haven't found yet.

Analog Reigns Supreme
VPI's Classic Companion turntable starts with the rock-solid walnut body from its hugely popular Classic 2 turntable and then just keeps getting better and better. This perfect companion for your digital gear proves that analog still reigns supreme. And the Classic Companion includes everything you need to begin rediscovering your vinyl collection right away. It comes not only with a premium tonearm, but it also includes a Grado phono cartridge specially made for VPI.
Massive Body and Platter
The Classic Companion is solidly built and impressively heavy, weighing in at a full 65 lbs. It provides an extremely stable platform for vinyl playback. Much of the Classic Companion's weight comes from its solid, non-resonating laminated one-piece chassis holding all components. This is not a wooden frame. It is a solid, walnut-laminated 2.5" thick MDF block with 11-gauge steel attached to the top with silicone and long bolts through all of the layers.
The Classic Companion combines this heavy body from the Classic 2 turntable with the 2"-thick cast aluminum Classic platter and silent inverted bearing, weighing in at 20 lbs. This massive platter contributes a significant flywheel effect to playback, which helps the 24-volt AC synchronous motor maintain precise speed.
The built-in 24-volt power supply feeds the motor a pure signal to avoid the fluctuations of a lesser power supply. The external step-down power supply keeps line voltage away from the turntable to lower noise and provide cooler motor running.
10.5" Gimbaled Tonearm
The Companion comes with a premium gimbaled tonearm with low friction ABEC-5 pre-loaded ball bearings. The arm is a full 10.5" long for very low tracking error and is solidly mounted to the base. It is VTA adjustable 'on the fly.' The arm is fast, clean, stable, very low in distortion, and dynamic like a master tape. When this arm is combined with the included Grado cartridge, you will be startled by the dynamic range and low level resolution that this arm can reproduce. RCA jacks accept the interconnect of your choice.
For those who require fine adjustment in an anti-skate mechanism, it comes standard on the Classic Companion. Speed stability is on a par with the original master tape. Due to the rigid mounting of the motor, platter, and tonearm, random motion is eliminated that might otherwise cause speed instabilities.
Grado Companion Phono Cartridge
The included Grado Companion phono cartridge is custom-made VPI. With its 1.5 millivolt output and very low inductance, it is compatible with the moving coil input of your phono preamp. The Companion cartridge borrows the stylus and cantilever from the acclaimed Grado Statement Sonata. Thanks to the replaceable stylus assembly, you can replace or upgrade as needed. The threaded aluminum mounting plate provides damping, mass, and ease of installation.

These recent difficult Eclipses continue to make their presence felt. The catastrophic wildfire in Arizona started by lightning in the midst of a scorching heat wave has resulted in the deaths of 19 firemen, the worst such tragedy in 80 years in the USA.
Arizona, 14 Feb 1912, has Mars at 5 degrees Gemini with the Solar Arc Sun approaching a conjunction to Mars which is always accident prone and transiting Neptune square Mars at the moment and about to square the Solar Arc Sun. So a truly panic-making and devastating time.
The recent Lunar Eclipse of 25th May had the Full Moon at 4 degrees Sagittarius/Gemini so seriously rattling the Arizona Mars. And that Eclipse located to Yarnell, AZ, has Uranus conjunct IC and Jupiter conjunct Descendant – so a significant and upsetting Eclipse for that area.
The Arizona chart also has the Solar Arc Saturn moving to oppose the AZ Sun within less than a degree – so an all round depressing time.
South Africa has also been in the eye of the Eclipse storm. They have been waiting on tenterhooks for what sadly looks likely to be Nelson Mandela's passing.
Share a free sample 2015 Numerology Forecast. Make 2015 your best year ever! Get a free overview including your Personal Year Number!
The 10th May 2013 Solar Eclipse at 19 Taurus was exactly conjunct the South Africa Taurus Sun (conjunct Moon) – so it did point to a significant cross roads for the country. It was a difficult Eclipse with the New Moon conjunct Mars and Mars opposition Saturn trine/sextile Pluto – so destructive, depressing.
Tr Neptune is also trine the South Africa 1994 chart's Solar Arc Venus as is tr Saturn. So a sad time with tr Neptune reversing to square the Solar Arc Moon from mid July saying much the same; plus a heavy tr Pluto sextile Saturn.
Both recent Lunar Eclipses as well located to South Africa had major activity on the angles. The 25 April Eclipse with Sun Mars opposition Moon Saturn had Pluto on the Ascendant and Uranus on the IC – suggesting a major internal upset.
The 25 May Eclipse had Sun Mars on the Ascendant opposition Moon on the Descendant and Neptune conjunct MC. And that latter Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius/Gemini rattled the South Africa 1910 Gemini Sun square Pisces Moon as well.
So everything was pointing to a difficult few months.

11. A modular medication inhaler as set forth in claim 10 wherein said flanges are interconnected by walls which with said flanges define box-like bracing structure surrounding said opening at least in part.
Metered dose inhalers are well known in which a small canister is packed with epinephrine or other suitable bronchodilator. The canister is held in a generally L-shaped fitting, and an axial push on the canister causes a metered dose of medication to be ejected into the fitting in spray from. Ideally the spray should be in the form of a fine mist so as to pass completely into the bronchial tubes for dilation thereof. Such medication is commonly used for asthmatic relief, or for other times when brochial dilation is required. The person to whom the medication is administered inhales from the fitting through his mouth.
It often happens that the medication is not thoroughly misted, and there are large drops which simply pass into the stomach, and have no effect on bronchial dilation. It is known that a cylindrical inhaler device can be used in combination with the L-shaped fitting for improved results. The L-shaped fitting is inserted into an elastomeric diaphragm at the upstream or entering end of the cylinder, and a mouthpiece is provided at the exit or downstream end. A one-way diaphragm is provided adjacent to the mouthpiece so that the medication can be inhaled through the mouth, but exhalation will not cause air to be passed back through the cylinder. A satisfactory apparatus of this type is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,470,412. It has been found that this apparatus is highly efficient in converting the medication into a mist which is highly effective in reaching the bronchial area.
In the aforesaid patent an elastomeric fitting is provided at the upstream end of the cylinder to receive the L-shaped fitting carrying the medication canister. At the downstream end a mouthpiece to be received in the mouth is provided. Such a device has also been found effective with a pediatric mask at the downstream end, see application Ser. Nos. 058,683 filed June 4, 1987 and 07/164,230 filed May 19, 1988. It has more recently been determined that the same structure can be used with an adult or a pediatric mask, as disclosed hereinafter in this application, and that much of the same basic apparatus can be used as an inline inhaler connected between an air/oxygen supply and an endotracheal tube inserted into a patient's trachea, as also disclosed in this application.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a modular medication inhaler in which basic structure is selectively assembled with respective fittings for different types of medication administration.
More particularly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a modular medication inhaler in which a basic cylindrical chamber and diaphragm can be provided with different inlet and outlet fittings for different administration of medication, all of which interfit with the basic cylindrical chamber in the same manner.
In effecting the foregoing and other objects in accordance with this invention a cyclindrical chamber is provided with an open upstream end, and with a lower end having an inwardly directed, ring-like flange which is either open in the center or provided with a spider. The upstream end alternatively may be provided with an elastometric fitting for receiving an L-shaped fitting with a metered dose inhaler, or it may be provided with a specific substantially rigid fitting carrying a metered dose inhaler canister and adapted for connection to an air/oxygen supply tube. The downstream or exit end has a diaphragm with a cross-shaped slit therein with the diaphragm clamped against the inwardly directed ring by a part of the outlet fitting. The outlet fitting may comprise a mouthpiece for receipt in the patient's mouth, or it may comprise either a pediatric mask or an adult mask, a part of which clamps the perimeter of the diaphragm against the aforesaid flange. A spider lies immediately adjacent the diaphragm on the upstream side thereof and backs up the slits so that air and medication can be inhaled past the diaphragm, but exhalation will simply force the diaphragm against the spider and cause exhaled air to be exited downstream of the diaphragm. In a further form of the invention the spider is omitted, but the periphery of the diaphragm is still clamped against the inwardly directed flange by a portion of an exit fitting having a tubular exit for connection to an endotracheal tube.
The present invention will best be understood from the following specification when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:

A modular medication inhaler constructed in accordance with the present invention is shown first in FIGS. 1-3 at 10 and includes an elongated cylindrical, hollow body 12. At the downstream or exit end of the body there is provided an exit fitting 14 designed in part for reception in the human mouth. At the upstream or entering end there is an elastomeric fitting 16 receiving the well known L-shaped adapter or fitting 18, which in turn receives the metered dose canister 20. The inlet or upstream end adapter 16 is shown in detail in copending U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 07/164,230 filed May 19, 1988, the disclosure of which is herein adapted by reference. In general, the fitting 16 includes a cylindrical outer portion 22 encircling the inlet end of the cylindrical body 12 and having a transverse diaphragm portion with an opening therein receiving the horizontal portion of the L-shaped adapter or elbow 18.
At the downstream or exit end of the cylindrical body 12, there is an inwardly directed flange 24 defining a central aperture 26 of substantial diameter relative to the diameter of the cylindrical body 12, see additionally FIGS. 3, 5, and 7. A spider 28 comprising eight radially extending legs is joined at its outer portions to the flange 22 with which it is integrally formed. The inner ends of the spider legs meet at a common center portion 30.
A thin diaphragm 32 (see also FIG. 8) of plastic or elastomeric material lies against the circular flange 24 and is held against this flange by the downstream end fitting 14 as will be brought out more fully hereinafter. The diaphragm is provided with a pair of slits 34 in the form of a cross, and the slits lie against legs of the spider 28. Accordingly, upon inhalation through the end fitting 14 the diaphragm will deflect to the right as shown in FIG. 3 with the slits opening further to permit free air flow. Upon exhalation the diaphragm is forced against the spider and air is not permitted to enter the cylindrical body 12 from the downstream end.
The exit end or downstream end fitting 14 includes a mouthpiece 38 designed for receipt in the human mouth. A reduced end portion 40 of the mouthpiece is provided for receipt of a cap for covering the mouthpiece when not in use. The mouthpiece is relatively wide and not very high. The outer surfaces thereof, and also the corresponding inner surfaces are on circular arcs for best conformity with the human mouth. At the inner or upstream end of the mouthpiece there is an outwardly directed annular flange 42 which carries at its periphery an upstream directed cylindrical portion 44 bearing against the diaphragm 32 to clamp the diaphragm against the flange 24. The flange 42 also supports an inner cylindrical portion 48 of lesser diameter and lesser length than the cylindrical portion 44, but coaxial therewith. This provides a space 50 between cylindrical portions 44 and 48 through which exhaled air can pass to a pair of apertures 52 (FIG. 1) in the flange 42 permitting exhausting of the exhaled air.
On the outside of the outer cylindrical portion 44 and relatively toward the free edge 46 thereof there is provided an annular flange 54 carrying at its outer margin a forwardly (upstream direction) extending cylindrical flange 56 of proper diameter to embrace the end of the cylindrical body 12.
At four equally arcuately spaced locations the flange 54 is provided with arcuately elongated apertures 58 extending radially from the cylindrical portion 44 to the cylindrical portion 56. Teeth 60 are disposed inwardly (upstream) of the apertures 58 on the inner surface of a cylindrical portion 56. The teeth have right angle locking faces 62 and diagonal camming faces 64. Corresponding notches 66a are provided in the flanges 24 of the cylindrical body 12, accompanied by apertures 68a and the cylindrical body, see FIG. 8. The flange 24a preferably has four protrusions received in respective apertures 69a in the diaphragm for improved locating of the diaphragm.
In assembling the foregoing parts all that is necessary is to place the cylindrical body 12 in an upright position, place the diaphragm 32 thereon, and snap the end fitting 14 into place. The teeth 60 are accommodated by the notches 36 in the diaphragm, and snap over the flange 24 into the openings 68a thus locking the exit end fitting 14 in place with the front edge 46 of the cylindrical portion 44 clamping the diaphragm in place. The end fitting 16 is readily pushed on the opposite end of the cylindrical body 12. The apertures 58 in the flange 54 provide accommodation for mold parts necessary to form the teeth 60. However, in the finished product they also have utility in that they provide enhanced flexibility to the cylindrical portion 56 in the vicinity of the teeth 60, thus facilitating snapping the teeth into place in the apertures 68.
A modification of the invention is shown in FIGS. 6 and 8-10. This embodiment of the invention is for use as an inline inhaler in connection with mechanical breathing apparatus. Most parts remain the same or similar, and like parts are identified with numerals similar to those heretofore used with the addition of the suffix a. The upstream or entering end fitting 16a has a tubular inlet 70 adapted to be connected to an oxygen/air hose periodically supplying a mixture of air and oxygen under pressure. This tubular portion joins integrally to a radial flange 72 carrying spaced cylindrical portions 74 and 76 which embrace the entering end of the cylindrical body 12a. The cylindrical body 12a is unchanged from the cylindrical body previously described, except that the spider is omitted therefrom, leaving simply the aperture 26a in the flange 24a. The spider may be eliminated during production of the cylindrical body 12a by an insert in the mold, or it may be molded in place and quickly cut away for the present embodiment.
The tubular inlet 70 is provided with a radially extending well 78 receiving the metered dose canister 20. The inner end of the well is conical at 80 and has a reduced portion for receipt of the nozzle 82 of the canister 20, the nozzle fitting in a recess 84 in a protruding nose 86 at the bottom of the well. The nose is provided with a lateral aperture 88 for exit of a spray or mist 90 of medication from the canister 20. The tubular inlet portion 70 is designed to have a hose or tubing connected thereover which is normally connected to an air/oxygen supply through the usual wye connection providing also for exhalation. Periodically an air/oxygen mixture under pressure is applied and passes through the cylindrical body 12a. It is sometimes necessary to administer a bronchodilator during mechanical ventilation of a patient, and this is done simply by depressing the canister 20 to spray the mist 90 of medication into the cylindrical body 12a just ahead of the entering air/oxygen mixture. It will be understood that the two cylindrical portions 74 and 76 gripping the upstream end of the cylindrical portion provide greater stability in preventing the entering end fitting 16a from popping off from the body when the air/oxygen mixture is supplied under pressure. Preferably, teeth on the outer cylindrical portion engage a rib on the body 12a.
The downstream or exit end fitting 14a is generally similar to that previously disclosed, and like numerals are used to identify similar parts with the addition of the suffix a. The distinction lies in that there is a tubular exit member 92 rather than the mouthpiece, which member is intended to receive a tube of flexible nature leading to an endotracheal tube. The tubular member comprises two concentric and spaced cylinders 94 and 96. This permits association of flexible tubing 98 of different diameters therewith, either exteriorly or interiorly.
Inclusion of the diaphragm 32a with no spider or other backup member is important. Absence of the spider or backup member permits the patient to exhale through the endotrachael tube, and past the inhalation device, and subsequently through a wye connector. However, retention of the diaphragm is important. Medication can be ejected into the inhaler just before a pressure delivery of air/oxygen mixture, and the misted medication will be retained in the cylindrical body or chamber 12a until the pressurized air/oxygen mixture is delivered into the chamber to carry the misted medication past the diaphragm 32a which deflects to the right as heretofore described, thereby to open the slots 34a to pass the medication with the air/oxygen mixture.
The basic structure heretofore described, particularly the cylindrical chamber, the inlet or upstream fitting 16, and the medication dispenser 18, 20 is adapted also for use with an adult inhalation mask 100 as shown in FIG. 11. Many of the parts are the same as or similar to those heretofore described, and such parts are identified by similar numerals with the addition of the suffix b, thereby to avoid repetition of disclosure. An end fitting 14b is similar to the originally disclosed fitting insofar as it snaps onto the end of the cylindrical body or chamber 12b. There is also a part bearing against the diaphragm, such part not being shown. The diaphragm likewise is not shown, as this is not necessary in view of the previous disclosure. The fitting 14b is completed by a cylindrical member 102 in substantially the same position as the previous cylinder 44, the inner end thereof bearing against the diaphragm. The tube or cylinder 102 is somewhat longer than heretofore, and is provided on the interior surface of its outer edge with an inwardly directed circumferential flange 104. A relatively short axial cylinder 106 embraces the outer end of the cylinder 102, which will be noted as tapering inwardly to the right. The cylinder 106 is formed integral with a connecting flange 108 which supports an inner cylinder 110 having a plurality, preferably 4, of inwardly directed teeth 112 which snap behind the flange or ring 104 to hold the cylinder 106, 112 in place on the end of the tapered cylinder 102. The cylindrical structure 106, 108 is provided with apertures 113 similar to the previously disclosed apertures 66, 68 in the cylindrical body 12 provide clearance for molding parts for the teeth 112, and also to provide enhanced flexibility at the respective locations.
The cylindrical body 12 and the exit end fitting 14, as well as exit end fittings 14a and 14b are made of a semi-rigid plastic material. The mask 100 is made of silicone rubber which is relatively flexible and which resists deterioration with age and which further permits sterilization due to its stability at high temperatures. The mask comprises an upstream cylindrical portion 114 having an internal diameter 116 snuggly engaging the tapered cylindrical extension 102, and having a counterbore 118 providing a latching surface or tooth 120 abutting the end of the cylindrical member or collar 106. The mask tapers outwardly from the cylindrical portion 114 at 122 in a form of a conical frustum 122 to a free open edge 124 for impingement against the face of an adult person requiring medication. The mask is axially open as will be apparent. In addition, the mask is provided with a relatively narrow and substantially thinner radial protrusion 126 running from the cylindrical portion 114 to the free outer edge 124. This extension lies over and provides clearance for the nose, thereby permitting sealing of the free edge 124 of the mask to the face of the adult patient. An important feature of the extension or protrusion 126 is that a nurse or other health care person can squeeze the patient's nose through the protrusion 126 to insure that no medication is inhaled into the nose where it is useless, but is inhaled entirely through the mouth where it reaches the bronchial area for patient relief.
Alternatively, the extension or protrusion 126 may be left untouched, and will then serve as a tell-tale, flexing in and out as the patient breathes to indicate that the patient is breathing, should he be unconscious.
A similar pediatric mask is shown in FIG. 12. The pediatric mask is generally similar to that disclosed and claimed in application Ser. No. 07/164230, filed May 19, 1988. The parts are generally similar to those heretofore shown and described herein, and similar numerals are again used, this time with the addition of the suffix c.
Instead of a protrusion or extension along the entire length of the frustoconical portion of the adapter or face mask 100c there is provided a small somewhat shorter extension 126c leading from the free edge 124c and overlying the infant's nose, connecting with a bubble 128 which will flex in and out as the infant breathes, thereby to provide a visual indication that the patient is properly breathing.
The upstream or inlet fitting 16 has been referred to heretofore only rather generally. A preferred form of such fitting is shown at 16d in FIGS. 13 and 14. The fitting is circular in shape including a central wall or disk 130, having at the periphery thereof spaced generally cylindrical flanges 132 and 134 intended to lie respectively on the outer surface and inner surface of the cylindrical chamber 12 at the entering end thereof. The center of the disk or wall 130 is inwardly offset at 136 in a circular pattern and is provided with a central aperture 138 having curved upper and lower edges 140 and straight side edges 142. The aperture 138 is sized so as to receive snugly the horizontal end of the L-shaped fitting 18 carrying the medication canister 20.
Inwardly (downstream) of the indented portion 136 of the disk or wall 130 there is an arcuate wall 144 underlying the inner edge 140 of the aperture 138. Axial braces or fins 146 extend from the ends of the arcuate wall 148 out to the inner flange 134. The wall 144 and ribs or braces 146 terminate slightly short of the extremities of the flanges 132 and 134. A pair of additional braces, comprising inner walls 148 having inner surfaces conforming to portions of the upper arcuate edge 140 and portions of the straight side edges 142 are provided at the upper corners of the aperture 138. Horizontal bracing flanges 150 and radially extending bracing flanges 152 extend from the ends of the walls 148 out to the flange 134. These walls and braces extend inwardly the same distance as the wall 144 and braces 146.
The fitting 16d is made of a relatively soft and pliable, yet resilient material which may be a rubber-like or elastomeric material, or resinous plastic; the later, may be referred to as simply plastic.
The specific examples of the present invention as herein shown and described will be understood as forming a part of the present invention insofar as they fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

page 2 - Maserati Spyder Cambiocorsa
A great marque restored.
By January 1, 2002
The suspension proved quite capable as we tackled the narrow roads that took us over the Futa and Raticosa passes south of Bologna, part of the original Mille Miglia route. Roughly the size of a Porsche Boxster but significantly heavier (curb weight is a stout 3815 lb.), the Spyder has a sense of heft but also of agility, heightened by steering effort lighter than that of any Ferrari.
Helped by a 53/47 front/rear weight balance, the Spyder takes a cornering set with mild understeer and can be pushed quite hard before there are squeals of protest from the ample tires (either Pirelli P Zero or Michelin Pilot Sport, 235/40ZR-18 front, 265/35ZR-18 rear). The only real hindrance comes from the really stout A-pillars that block the view considerably entering tight-radius corners. Overall, this is an easy, secure car to drive quickly; the learning curve to approach its limits is quickly climbed.
The interior is quite roomy in most directions, though the long-legged may wish for more rearward seat travel. The dash is an expressive double arch, done in two colors of leather of your choice (10 choices) with contrasting piping separating the two. Logical rotary knobs with silver backgrounds control the ventilation functions, a scheme mirrored in the black-in-silver gauge faces, with a big red pie-wedge marking on the tach denoting the 7500-rpm redline. The ubiquitous display screen occupies a good piece of the center dash, offering navigation system functions and illustrating the ventilation control settings. Of course, the traditional Maserati oval clock takes center stage.
Actuation of the convertible top couldn't be simpler, with a single button controlling the entire operation, including the final, automatic cinching to the windshield header. When stowed, it's concealed with a hard cover that fits flush to the Giugiaro-styled body. Top down, airflow is managed quite nicely, with normal conversation possible at 80; briefly touching about 150 mph, my baseball cap stayed on! Of course, the muted metallic rasp of the engine is best heard in the top-down mode.
As a package, the Maserati Spyder (roughly $89,000 for the conventional 6-speed, and $93,000 for the Cambiocorsa) is an extremely well executed car, and an appealing alternative to the Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz SL or Jaguar XKR. It should equal or better those cars in performance; I've no reason to doubt claims of 4.9 seconds to 60 mph, or a 175-mph top speed. And judging from the ultramodern factory, the assembly fit of our test cars and Maserati's chutzpah of offering a 4-year, 50,000-mile warranty in the U.S., these should easily be the most reliable Maseratis ever.
