Disabled Vet with Broken Wheelchair Rescued by Lowe's Employees
This is a heart warming story about some of the decent, honorable people still left in the world.
Hat tip to Weasel Zippers for the feel good story:
In 1971, I stepped on a land mine in Vietnam and lost both legs above the knee.
For the past two years, I have been waiting to receive a new wheelchair from the Veterans Administration. In addition, I have been told that I am not entitled to a spare wheelchair.
On the evening of July 7, my wheelchair fell apart again, while shopping at Lowe's Home Improvement Center in on Forest Avenue in Mariners Harbor.
Three employees, David, Marcus and Souleyman jumped to my assistance immediately. They placed me in another chair while they went to work.
They took the wheelchair apart and replaced the broken parts and told me, "We're going to make this chair like new."
I left 45 minutes after closing hours in my wheelchair that was like new.
I kept thanking them and all they could say was, "It was our honor."
The actions of these three employees at Lowe's showed me there are some who still believe in stepping to the plate.
They didn't ask any questions, didn't feel the need to fill out any forms or make phone calls. Someone needed help and they felt privileged to be given the opportunity.
See the Video Here:
Hero's Wheelchair fixed at Lowe's
No, thank you, sir. I am glad that there are Americans who stepped up to the plate to help you out in whatever small way was possible. Thank you for your service and dedication.
As a side note: the VA delivered a new wheelchair less than 2 days later….coincidence? Don't count on it…..

Dorkdog, have a look at the following post - Forum Equipment - TM Classifieds - Bb Trumpets - WTS: Getzen 700 Eterna 2.
This fella has a Getzen 700 for sale at about $525 - not a bad price if the description is in fact accurate - they are a nice trumpet - only come in silver - and are solidly engineered (yes I have one, and am looking at this one too) - jump in first, your need is greater than mine.
I also have a Getzen Eterna Classic (900) in lacquer - and it is a step up from the 700 Eterna - but not much of a step.
Failing that, contact Washington Music Center and talk to them - good prices for Getzens (new) - you might even be able to negotiate mutes as well - I got a Harmon, Denis Wick Cup, and a Straight mute for $15 each - mind you, I bought a Getzen 700S Eterna, and a King 1201L Trombone at the one time - we got the Trom mutes for the same price, $15 each - a straight and a cup. Roger Kuiper was my contact.
Thank you very much for such nice comments! But truth be told, throughout 30-some odd years of hiatus, I've been playing other forms of music so I have not lost sight of what is important. I have to get the machine recalibrated is all, so to speak.
I will be redoing the song I did and many others.
My reason for rediscovering brass is simple - after 30 years of slinging guitars I still cannot record a decnt vocal. I've given up trying and have decided to replace the vocal in my music with an instrumental line. The cornet seems like the right instruemnt to do that with, considering my background and what I want to accomplish.
The difference between youth and old age is that, in youth one struggles to play the right notes while, as an adult, one works to play the notes right.
[QUOTE=BachStrad1;665885] An experienced player can make just about anything sound good, and an expensive horn definitely won't make up for lack of practice, QUOTE]
I have to laugh when I read this. Over in guitar-land we have people who spend thousands of dollars buying the same guitar, amp, processors, even strings as Their Favorite Hero. Thinking they are going to sound like him (David Gilmour of Pink Floyd seems to be one of the most popular) they load up on everything he has. And then post on the forum about what IC chip must have been different or what potentiometer value changed because, after spending all that cash they don't sound like Gilmour!
Gilmour, in the meantime, posts a video of himself playing on a POS system - like the ones these kids traded in to get his stuff - and guess what it sounds like? It sounds like Gilmour, at his best!
The words are different as quoted but the concept's the same. I know there are people in my situation (up and coming back) who will do just that - and be sorely disappointed.
It was a good laugh; thanks!
The difference between youth and old age is that, in youth one struggles to play the right notes while, as an adult, one works to play the notes right.
Keep it up and you will prevail! BTW - This Guy's in Love with You is a trumpet song, absolutely. Not pyrotechnics, but there's some awfully friendly trumpet playing there. 4 weeks #1 on the Top Ten, 10 weeks #1 on Easy Listening. Alpert is the ONLY artist to have a #1 hit as both a vocalist and a trumpet player.
Yeah, I know, it's a soft and fuzzy sentimental tune. As I age I like it more and more.

Is the British mainstream beginning to realize the magnitude of what threatens them? "'No more mosques' says Synod member: Alison Ruoff claims that building mega-mosques could help turn Britian into an Islamic state," by Ruth Gledhill for the Times (thanks to all who sent this in):
A prominent evangelical member of the Church of England's General Synod has called for a ban on the building of any more mosques in Britain.
Alison Ruoff also claimed that Sharia law is inevitable in this country if mosques continue to be built here.
Mrs Ruoff, a former magistrate, said in an interview with London's Premier Christian Radio that no more mosques should be built in Britain until all persecution of Christians in Muslim nations had ceased.
She said: "No more mosques in the UK. We are constantly building new mosques, which are paid for by the money that comes from oil states.
"We have only in this country as far as we know, 3.5 to four million Muslims. There are enough mosques for Muslims in this country, they don't need anymore.
"We don't need to have Sharia law which would come with more mosques imposed upon our nation, if we don't watch out, that would happen. If we want to become an Islamic state, this is the way to go.
"You build a mosque and then what happens? You have Muslim people moving into that area, all the shops will then become Islamic, all the housing will then become Islamic and as the Bishop of Rochester has so wisely pointed out, that will be a no-go area for anyone else.
"They will bring in Islamic law. We cannot allow that to happen."
Indeed. For the sake of human rights, for the sake of British culture, for the sake of Western civilization.

Two San Juan County residents, local Green Party take ballot bar codes to state Supreme Court
Two San Juan County residents, two Grays Harbor County residents and the San Juan County Green Party have sued Secretary of State Sam Reed and County Auditor Milene Henley, seeking to prohibit placement of unique bar code identifiers on ballots.
The plaintiffs are Allan Rosato and Tim White of Orcas Island, Arthur Grunbaum and Linda Orgel of Grays Harbor County, and the San Juan County Green Party. They filed suit July 14.
The suit alleges that Reed required about one million voters to vote on ballots that contained unique bar code identifiers, which the plaintiffs say violates the state Constitution's guarantee of "absolute secrecy" of the ballot and statutes requiring uniform ballots within a precinct.
The suit also claims Reed has encouraged and subsidized an uncertified ballot tracking "audit" system that links the ballot identifiers to voters' identities, further undermining ballot secrecy by potentially permitting vendors and officials to inspect how a citizen voted.
The petitioners filed White v. Reed directly in the state Supreme Court using a judicial procedure for fast-track adjudication by the high court.
According to the petition, Reed's actions have led to the introduction and proliferation of ballot IDs in most Washington counties by activating an option of the Hart Intercivic voting system. Reed also has encouraged and subsidized many counties to deploy the VoteHere ballot tracking system which links the unique ballot ID with the voter's ID, the suit says.
Petitioners claim that these systems are not necessary for election auditing or security. Seattle's King County prohibited ballot identifiers after finding that voters perceived the identifiers as compromising ballot secrecy.
Hart and the VoteHere vendor are marketing the systems across the country for both poll site voting and absentee mail voting. Washington state requires paper ballots, and votes almost entirely by mail.
Seattle public-interest attorney Knoll Lowney represents the four individuals and the Green Party of San Juan County, where the systems were first deployed. According to Lowney, "Reed's actions have violated the constitutional rights of one million Washington voters just because of where they live. In King County, where I vote, there are no unique bar codes on my ballot and I am certain of the secrecy of my ballot. Every voter in our state deserves the same confidence."
A statement supporting the case was released by the national public interest organization, Voter Action, which has participated in lawsuits throughout the country involving election integrity concerns.
Petitioner White said, "An absolutely secret ballot means your blank ballot is exactly like your neighbor's. Nobody can reconnect it to your hand. Secretary Reed's new system permits just that. He subsidized this system with a no-bid contract with VoteHere, a corporation led by Reed's mentor Ralph Munro and past heads of the Pentagon and the CIA. Voters should not have to trust this or any private company to maintain ballot secrecy."
Rosato added, "Few voters realize that the bar code they see is unique to their ballot, and in many cases linked with their voter ID. When they learn this, they are very concerned. Our Constitution and statutes do not allow this experiment with ballot secrecy. It certainly is not necessary since two-thirds of Washington voters are not subject to it."
State Elections Director Nick Handy defended the system of bar-code identifiers on ballots, saying they don't compromise voter privacy. He issued the following statement about the lawsuit.
"Four voters and a local political party have sued the Secretary of State, asking our high court to prohibit use of bar-code identifiers on ballots in Washington. The lawsuit claims that markings on the ballots compromise the privacy of voters. That is simply not true. It is not possible in Washington to trace any ballot back to the individual voter.
"The state Constitution and the laws of Washington vigilantly protect the privacy of voters, and this office and our Legislature have made it very clear that no election official in the state may trace a ballot back to how an individual person voted. The basic underlying premise of the lawsuit is just wrong.
"Ballots do have various bar codes and other markings on them to allow the tabulation equipment to process the ballot properly and to guard against ballots being fed through more than once.
"For those counties using the Mail in Ballot Tracker system, this system has improved the efficiency and accuracy of election operations, while continuing to maintain a secret ballot.
"It's understandable that some might be concerned when they see the markings, but, again, rest assured that those markings do not compromise the privacy of the ballot. These are an important and reliable tool for accountability and efficiency, and we support our County Auditors who choose this system.
"The litigation brought by four voters and the Green Party of San Juan County specifically talks about the counties that use Hart Intercivic optical scan voting systems. The Hart system has been approved by both state and federal regulators, and you can bet they would not permit any compromise of ballot secrecy.
"We expect to prevail if this matter is actually heard by the Supreme Court."
The Secretary of State's office has resources available on its definition of ballot secrecy.

I bought a bike from Bikes 2U Direct online on a Friday and it arrived on the Tuesday. Unfortunately I was not able to assemble it as there was a manufacturing fault with the forks and the front wheel could not be fitted. I phoned Bikes 2U Direct at about 2:30 pm to tell them about the fault and they offered to either: a) send me a new set of forks AND pay for a cycle shop to fit them or b) send a replacement bike. I opted for a replacement and they emailed me an address label to return the… Read Full Review

A Call for Apple To Remove 'Third Intifada' iPhone App
Could we be approaching the iPhone intifada? Israeli lawmaker Yuli Edelstein seems to fear so.
An iPhone app offers Palestinians and Palestinian sympathizers real-time news about efforts to spark a third intifada. The ThirdIntifada was released last week, seemingly to replace a pro-uprising page that Facebook removed in March.
Edelstein, who is Israel's minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs, today wrote to Apple, urging it to stop distributing the app. "Upon review of the stories, articles and photos published by means of the application, one can easily see that this is in fact anti-Israel and anti-Zionist," he wrote, stating the obvious. "Furthermore, as is implied by its name, the application calls for an uprising against the State of Israel."
Given the app's "ability to unite many toward an objective that could be disastrous," he asked Apple "to instruct the immediate removal of the application in question and thus continue the tradition of 'Apple' applications dedicated to purely entertainment and informative purposes and not serve as an instrument for incitement to violence."

[0001]This application hereby claims priority from Swedish patent
application 03005204, filed Feb. 28, 2003 and U.S. provisional
application 60/458,159, filed Mar. 27, 2003.
[0002]This invention relates to a container comprising nicotine. The container is for use in an inhaling device. Such a device is for use in nicotine replacement therapy treatment (NRT) and tobacco dependence treatment.
Tobacco Dependence and Reduction Thereof
[0003]In recent years, with the recognition of the harmful effects of tobacco smoking, there have been numerous campaigns and programs by governmental agencies and various health groups and other interested organizations to disseminate information about the adverse health effects resulting from tobacco smoking. Moreover, and as a result of this recognition of the harmful effects, there have been many programs directed to attempts in reducing smoking incidence.
[0004]Nicotine (C10H14N.sub.2) is an organic compound and is the principal alkaloid of tobacco and it is the chief addictive ingredient in the tobacco used in cigarettes, cigars, snuff and the like. Nicotine is also an addictive drug and smokers characteristically display a strong tendency to relapse after having successfully stopped smoking for a time. Nicotine is among the world's most used drug, along with alcohol and caffeine from coffee and tea. It is an addictive poisonous alkaloid. And it is also used as an insecticide. The minimal acute lethal dose of nicotine in human adults is 40 to 60 mg.
[0005]The main problem with tobacco smoking is its enormous implications on health. Today it is estimated that smoking-related diseases cause some 3-4 million deaths per year. It was estimated, in the US Surgeon General's 1988 report on The Health Consequences of Smoking, that in the US alone diseases related to cigarette smoking cause about 300.000 deaths each year. In fact, excessive smoking is now recognized as one of the major health problems throughout the world. This grim consequence of tobacco smoking has urged many medical associations and health authorities to take very strong actions against the use of tobacco.
[0006]Even though tobacco smoking is decreasing in many developed countries today it is hard to see how the societies could get rid of the world's second most used drug or even decrease the use thereof.
[0007]The most advantageous thing a heavy smoker can do is to completely stop, or at least reduce, his/her smoking. Experience shows, however, that most smokers find it extremely difficult to stop or even to reduce smoking since, mostly, smoking tobacco result in a dependence disorder or craving. The WHO has in its International Classification of Disorders a diagnosis called Tobacco Dependence. Others like the American Psychiatric Association call the addiction Nicotine Dependence. It is generally accepted that these difficulties to stop or reduce smoking result from the fact that those heavy smokers are dependent on nicotine. The most important risk factors are, however, substances that are formed during the combustion of tobacco, such as carbon monoxide, tar products, aldehydes, and hydrocyanic acid.
Effects of Nicotine
[0008]The administration of nicotine usually provides a pleasant feeling. The usual method of administration is by intake via the mouth, either by smoking e.g. a cigarette, a cigar or a pipe, or snuffing or chewing tobacco. However, smoking has, as earlier mentioned, health hazards and it is therefore desirable to formulate an alternative manner of administering nicotine in a pleasurable manner that can be used to facilitate withdrawal from smoking and/or used as a replacement for smoking.
[0009]Upon the smoking of a cigarette, nicotine is quickly absorbed into the smoker's blood and reaches the brain within around ten seconds after inhalation. This quick uptake of nicotine gives the consumer a rapid satisfaction, or kick, and this satisfaction lasts during the smoking time of the cigarette and for a period of time thereafter. The poisonous, toxic, carcinogenic, and addictive nature of smoking has provided efforts for methods, compositions and devices, which help in breaking the habit of smoking cigarettes.
Nicotine Replacement Products
[0010]One way to reduce smoking is to provide nicotine in a form or manner other than by smoking and some products have been developed to fulfill this need. Use of such nicotine-containing formulations is currently the dominating treatment for tobacco dependence.
[0011]The present successes in achieving reduction in the incidence of smoking have been relatively poor using presently known products. The present state of the art involves both behavioral approaches and pharmacological approaches. More than 80% of the tobacco smokers who initially quit smoking after using some behavioral or pharmacological approach to singly reduce smoking incidence generally relapse and return to the habit of smoking at their former rate of smoking within about a one year's period of time.
[0012]As an aid for those who are willing to stop smoking there are several ways and forms of nicotine replacement products available on the market and several methods and means have been described for diminishing the desire of a subject to use tobacco, which comprises the step of administering to the subject nicotine or a derivative thereof as described in e g U.S. Pat. No. 4,967,773 (nicotine containing lozenge) and U.S. Pat. No. 5,939,100 (nicotine containing microspheres).
[0013]The use of skin patches for transdermal administration of nicotine has been reported (Rose, in Pharmacologic Treatment of Tobacco Dependence, (1986) pp. 158-166, Harvard Univ. Press). Nicotine-containing skin patches, which are in wide use today, may cause local irritation and the absorption of nicotine is slow and affected by cutaneous blood flow. Different types of such patches are also patented, see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 4,915,950 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,597,961.
[0014]Nicotine-containing nose drops have been reported (Russell et al., British Medical Journal, Vol. 286, p. 683 (1983); Jarvis et al., British Journal of Addiction, Vol. 82, p. 983 (1987)). Nose drops, however, are difficult to administer and are not convenient to use at work or in other public situations. Ways of administrating nicotine by delivering directly into the nasal cavity by spraying are known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,579,858, DE 32 41 437 and WO 93/12764. There may, though, be local nasal irritation with use of nasal nicotine formulations. The difficulty in administration also results in unpredictability of the dose of nicotine administered.
[0015]Nicotine mouth sprays (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,024,097 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,810,018) and nicotine chewing gums (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 3,845,217) are also known.
[0016]Also, inhaling devices resembling a cigarette are known for uptake of nicotine vapors orally as suggested in U.S. Pat. No. 5,167,242, wherein the inhaling device contains a nicotine reservoir. The present invention relates primarily, but not exclusively, to a novel and inventive improvement of the nicotine reservoir (plug) disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,167,242.
Prior Art and Problems Thereof
[0017]One embodiment of the inhaling device disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,167,242 comprises a cylindrical cartridge in which is placed a nicotine reservoir. Such a reservoir consists of a porous plug made of polymer or other suitable material, which is loaded with nicotine. Suitable materials for such a plug are e.g. those mentioned in U.S. Pat. No. 4,284,089, U.S. Pat. No. 4,800,903 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,813,437 e.g. polymeric material containing polyolefin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutadiene, poly-1-butene, polyisobutylene, polyisoprene, poly-4-methyl-1-pentene or combinations thereof, a fibrous material which may comprise cellulose-acetate polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene and combinations thereof. The above-mentioned porous plugs are manufactured through a sintering process. U.S. Pat. No. 4,793,366 discloses a device for inhaling nicotine with a "draw" similar to that of a conventional cigarette--though without showing that such a "draw" may be obtained with the claimed device. U.S. Pat. No. 5,101,838 discloses a device for smoking simulation where the carrier for nicotine preferably is made of spherical particles. U.S. Pat. No. 5,167,242, U.S. Pat. No. 4,284,089, U.S. Pat. No. 4,800,903, U.S. Pat. No. 4,813,437, U.S. Pat. No. 4,793,366 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,101,838 are hereby incorporated by reference.
[0018]The presently known porous nicotine containing plug releases nicotine to the air sucked through it by the user when the user puff on the inhaling device. However, it has now been found that the user does not inhale enough nicotine per puff (Schneider et al.; Clin. Pharmacokinetics 2001; 40 (9) 661-684 and Russel; British J. of Addiction (1991) 86,653-658) in order to experience complete satisfaction. Therefore the user must puff intensively in order to achieve a basal, but oftentimes still non-sufficient, concentration of drug (Schneider et al.; Clin. Pharmacokinetics 2001; 40 (9) 661-684). Hence, such an inhaling device often does not sufficiently well counteract the craving experience by the tobacco addict, who therefore is likely to relapse to use of tobacco. To date no solution to the problem of the user not inhaling enough nicotine per puff has been presented.
[0019]The term "nicotine" is intended to include nicotine, 3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)-pyridine, with its base form, racemic form, R- and S-forms, including synthetic nicotine as well as nicotine extracts from tobacco plants, or parts thereof, such as the genus Nicotiana alone or in combination; or pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
[0020]The term "container comprising nicotine", or equivalent terms, is intended to include a nicotine reservoir loaded with nicotine that will allow air to pass through and that will deliver nicotine in gaseous or liquid aerosol form to a subject.
[0021]The term "fast reduction of the urge to smoke or use tobacco" is herein intended to mean an initial priming of the subject so as to achieve a reduction of the urge to smoke or use tobacco.
[0022]The term "complete reduction" is herein intended to mean complete or substantially complete reduction.
[0023]The terms "fibers" and "filaments" are intended to mean any of the thread-like parts that are formed from plant and/or artificial material with arbitrary cross sections.
[0024]The term "tobacco-containing material" may be material used for e g smoking, snuffing or chewing and may comprise a cigarette, a cigar, snuff, pipe tobacco and chewing tobacco.
[0025]The term "shaped mass" is intended to mean a mass of material deliberately shaped.
[0026]The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problem, i.e. that the user does not receive enough nicotine per puff to experience satisfaction. We have however found that said problem couldn't be solved by increasing the amount of nicotine in the container since the air inhaled with the existing device is already saturated with nicotine and hence cannot be loaded with more nicotine. In the present invention we have surprisingly found said problem is solved by increasing the volume of air inhaled per puff thereby increasing the amount of nicotine being inhaled per puff - this being achieved by using a nicotine container comprising a shaped mass of fibers or filaments.
[0027]The main object of the present invention is thus to provide a container comprising nicotine and a shaped mass of fibers or filaments, which is able to reversibly retain and release nicotine. This container allow a larger amount of air being inhaled per puff and also provide that the air is inhaled with less efforts compared to the above-mentioned presently known plugs. The flow resistance through the present container is thus lower than the flow resistance through the existing plugs. It has also been found that with the present invention the flow resistance may be lowered to below a half, and even below a fourth, of the flow resistance of presently used plugs in nicotine inhalers. The air passing through the container is adequately saturated with nicotine in spite of the low airflow resistance.
[0028]The present invention also provides a method for obtaining reduction of the urge to smoke or use tobacco containing material and/or for providing a fast sense of smoking satisfaction without smoking, comprising the steps of replacing at least partly the tobacco containing material used with an inhaling device that comprises the above-mentioned container comprising nicotine.
[0029]Furthermore, the present invention also provides a system for delivering nicotine to a subject, which comprises said container comprising nicotine and at least one other means for obtaining reduction of the urge to smoke or use of tobacco and a system for obtaining reduction of the urge to smoke or otherwise use of tobacco and/or for providing a sense of smoking satisfaction without smoking, comprising said container comprising nicotine and at least one other method for obtaining reduction of the urge to smoke or otherwise use of tobacco. Said system may be a system wherein the at least one other method is selected from the group consisting of administration through chewing gums, nasal sprays, transdermal patches, mouth sprays, lozenges, tablets and parenteral methods, subcutaneous methods, intravenous methods, rectal methods, vaginal methods and transmucousal methods; or otherwise use of tobacco.
[0030]The present invention also relates to the use of said product that will according to the invention rapidly deliver nicotine to a subject and also to the use of the present invention for obtaining a quick and/or sustained and/or complete reduction of the urge to smoke or use tobacco and/or for providing a sense of smoking satisfaction without smoking resembling the sense of smoking satisfaction and/or for obtaining a reduction of the urge to smoke obtained after regular smoking or use of tobacco.
[0031]In one embodiment said container comprising nicotine has fibers or filaments that comprise polymeric substances. The polymeric substances may be selected from polyolefin, polyester or polyamide and are preferably selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polyethylene, preferably high-density polyethylene or ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutadiene, poly-1-butene, polyisobutene, polyisoprene, polyvinylidene chloride, ethylene vinyl alcohol, polylactide-glycolide copolymer, polycarbonate, polyethylene naphthalene, polytrinethylene naphthalene, polyethylene terephthalate, terephthalate-isophthalate polyesters, polybutylene terephthalate, liquid crystalline polymer that comprises hydroxy benzoic acid and hydroxy naphtenic acid, a copolymer of acrylonitrile and methacrylate grafted to nitrile rubber, which is commercially available under the trademark Barex®, nylon 66, or nylon 6 or combinations thereof and paper, cellulose and/or cloth. Preferably the fibers or filaments are non-sintered. The container may though comprise also non-sintered material. The fibers or filaments may comprise also non-polymeric materials, such as glass, metals, e g aluminum and/or steel. The fibers or filaments may optionally be coated.
[0032]The container may also comprise non-fibrous material. Preferably the shaped mass of fibers or filaments is non-sintered. The container may though comprise also non-sintered material. The shaped mass of fibers or filaments may comprise non-polymeric material, such as glass, metals, e g aluminum and/or steel, paper, cellulose and/or cloth.
[0033]A preferred type of fibers or filaments is made of polyethylene terephtalate, preferably covered with copolyolefin.
[0034]The fibers or filaments may be manufactured in a number of different ways known in the art, such as through extrusion and spinning.
[0035]Preferably the container should have a flow resistance of gas being lower than around 0,6 kPa, more preferably lower than around 0,3 kPa at an airflow rate of 1000 ml/min.
[0036]The nicotine is preferably retained to the shaped mass of fibers or filaments by chemical binding and/or by adsorption and/or by absorption and released by breaking these mechanisms. The absorption and/or adsorption processes, which release nicotine may further be electrically enhanced and/or modified by temperature.
[0037]The container is for use in a nicotine-inhaling device, which is adapted to be received in the mouth or in the nose.
[0038]The container should preferably be encapsulated in such a way that nicotine will not unintentionally migrate out from the container and so that environmental oxygen, will not enter the container. For such encapsulation of the container a nicotine-impermeable copolymer made of acrylonitrile and methacrylate and grafted to nitrile rubber can be used, said copolymer being commercially available under the trademark Barex®. Polyethylene naphtalate, known under the name PEN, and/or a liquid crystalline polymer comprising hydroxy benzoic acid and hydroxy naphtenic acid, known under the name Vectra® A530, can also be used for such encapsulation. Optionally said polymers can be laminated, e g with aluminum layer. Preferably said encapsulation should be made in an oxygen-free environment. Upon use of the container the encapsulation is broken in order for the user to inhale through the container. Said encapsulation is essence is done according to the disclosure of the above-mentioned patent U.S. Pat. No. 5,167,242.
Methods of Production
[0039]One preferred embodiment of loading the containers with nicotine is to let a gas comprising nicotine pass through the containers thus allowing the nicotine to be absorbed and/or adsorbed by the material of the container.
[0040]Another preferred embodiment of loading the containers with nicotine is immersing the containers into a solution comprising nicotine in its free base form. Preferably the solvent is an organic solvent, preferably an organic solvent having a low boiling point and being more volatile than nicotine, more preferably an organic solvent being selected from the group of ethers, ketons and alcohols, even more preferably being an organic solvent being selected from alcohols, and most preferably being ethanol.
[0041]Still another preferred embodiment of loading the containers with nicotine is to inject a solution comprising nicotine, with e.g. a syringe, in the containers.
[0042]The containers may also be loaded with nicotine by spraying or soaking or immersing the fibers or filaments with nicotine or with a nicotine-containing liquid directly upon the fibers or filaments, and the optional non-fibrous material, having been manufactured, e g upon them having been extruded or spun, prior to the fibers or filaments being formed to a shaped mass. The same loading principle could be applied if the containers optionally comprise also non-fibrous material.
[0043]Different additives may optionally be added to the containers, e g one or more stabilizing additives, such as those selected from the group consisting of antioxidants including vitamin E, i.e. tocopheroles, vitamin C, i.e. ascorbic acid, sodium pyrosulfite, butylhydroxytoluene, butylated hydroxyanisole; and preservatives including parabenes, citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid, and sorbic acid; and chelating agents, such as EDTA; and galates, such as propyl galate.
[0044]Further optional additives can comprise one or more additives selected from the group consisting of enhancers, such as azone, vitamins, such as vitamins B, C and E, minerals, such as fluorides, especially sodium fluoride, sodium monofluoro phosphate and stannous fluoride, anti-odors, such as zinc and cyclodextrins, propellants, such as 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a), optionally being liquefied, and 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluororpropane (HFC-227), optionally being liquefied, sweeteners including one or more synthetic or natural sugars, such as those selected from the group consisting of artificial sweeteners such as saccharin, sodium saccharin, aspartame, e g NutraSweet, acesulfame or acesulfame K (also called potassium acesulfame), thaumatin and glycyrrhizin; sugar alcohols, such as sorbitol, xylitol, single sugars including sugars extracted from sugar cane and sugar beet (sucrose), dextrose (also called glucose), fructose (also called laevulose), and lactose (also called milk sugar); mannitol, glycerol; and mixtures of sugars including glucose syrup, e g starch hydrolysates, containing a mixture of dextrose, maltose and a range of complex sugars, invert sugar syrup, e g sucrose inverted by invertase (also called sucrase or sacchrase) containing a mixture of dextrose and fructose, high sugar content syrups such as treacle and honey containing a mixture of particularly laevulose, dextrose, maltose, lactitole, sucrose, resins, dextrin and higher sugars; and malt or malt extracts; and mixtures thereof.
[0045]Flavor and aroma additives can also be added. These may comprise one or more synthetic or natural flavoring or aromatizing agents. Flavor and aroma agents may be selected from the group comprising essential oils and preparations thereof including distillations, solvent extractions, or cold expressions of chopped flowers, leaves, peel or pulped whole fruit comprising mixtures of alcohol, esters, aldehydes and lactones; essences including either diluted solutions of essential oils, or mixtures of synthetic chemicals blended to match the natural flavor of the fruit, e g strawberry, raspberry and black currant; artificial and natural flavors of brews and liquors, e.g. cognac, whisky, rum, gin, sherry, port, and wine; tobacco, coffee, tea, cocoa, and mint; fruit juices including expelled juice from washed, scrubbed fruits such as lemon, orange, and lime; spear mint, pepper mint, wintergreen, cacoe/cocoa, vanilla, liquorice, menthol, eucalyptus, aniseeds, nuts, e.g. peanuts, coconuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, cola nuts; almonds, raisins; barks, e.g. cinnamon, roots, e.g. ginger, and mixtures thereof.
[0046]The nicotine should be in gaseous or liquid aerosol form when inhaled in order to facilitate the absorption and uptake anywhere in the mouth or oral cavity and/or the upper respiratory tract and/or lungs.
[0047]The nicotine may act as a substituted stimulant e.g. to obtain a rapid reduction of the urge to smoke or to use tobacco. The effect may be to provide a sense of smoking satisfaction without smoking. Another effect of the administered nicotine may be a reduction of the urge to smoke or use tobacco.
[0048]The effect may also be a combination of reduction of said urge and providing a sense of smoking satisfaction without smoking. The amount of the nicotine should be sufficient to provide such an effect in a subject. This amount may, of course, vary from person to person.

The nicotine-loaded containers were transferred to airtight bulk containers, which were evacuated and filled with nitrogen.
Assembly and Sealing:
[0055]The assembly of the nicotine-loaded containers into the plastic cartridges was performed in separated zones, involving feeding of the containers and cartridges from a first zone, and the subsequent assembly in a second zone. Sealing of the plastic cartridges was made by welding with Barex®-coated aluminum foil. All zones were separately fed with nitrogen.
Method for Delivering Nicotine to a Subject
[0056]According to the invention, a method for delivering nicotine to a subject comprises the steps of
[0057]a) administering to a subject air loaded with nicotine by using an inhalation device containing the container comprising nicotine and
[0058]b) allowing the nicotine to be released in the mouth/oral cavity and/or the upper respiratory tract and/or the lungs and then being absorbed into the blood plasma of the subject.
Method for Obtaining Reduction of the Urge to Smoke or use of Tobacco
[0059]A method for obtaining reduction of the urge to smoke or use tobacco-containing material and/or for providing a sense of smoking satisfaction without smoking according to the invention comprises the steps of:
[0060]a) replacing at least partly the tobacco containing material with an inhaling devise comprising the container comprising nicotine,
[0061]b) administering to a subject nicotine according with the help of the container comprising nicotine into the oral cavity and/or the upper respiratory tract and/or the lungs of the subject, and
[0062]c) allowing the nicotine to be absorbed by the subject.
[0063]The administration of nicotine takes place by the subject inhaling air loaded with nicotine i.e. the subject puffs on the inhaler comprising the container comprising nicotine as the air passes said container the nicotine is released from said container and the subject will thus receive air loaded with nicotine. The administration is essentially intended for the mouth/oral cavity and/or the upper respiratory tract and/or the lungs.

Writing a fantasy or science fiction novel is hard enough. Now, try pitching it in 140 characters or less. That's the challenge set forth by #SFFpit, a twice-annual Twitter pitching contest.
Unlike Brenda Drake's #PitMad, this contest is only for works of fantasy or science fiction. All age categories (PB, MG, YA, NA, and adult) are welcome. The next #SFFpit will take place in December 2016.

What to Expect from #SFFpit
The First #SFFpit (June 11, 2014)
• Who Came to #SFFpit
• The Winners of #SFFpit
The Second #SFFpit (December 9, 2014)
• Aftermath of the Second #SFFpit
The Third #SFFpit (June 18, 2015)
• Do's and Don'ts of #SFFpit
The Fourth #SFFpit (December 10, 2015)
The Basics
The contest will happen on Twitter under a common hashtag (#SFFpit). During a 10-hour window on the chosen day, authors with completed manuscripts who are seeking representation or publication can tweet a pitch for their books (at most, once per hour).
Agents and editors will make requests by marking pitches as a favorite on Twitter. If your tweet is favorited, please follow the agent or editor's submission guidelines. Throughout the day, we will have authors, agents, editors, and other folks stopping by on the hashtag to say hello. To make sure you know what's happening, please sign up for my mailing list or follow me on Twitter.
Please follow these guidelines to keep this event fair to everyone involved!
When to Pitch
This event happens twice per year: once in June, and once in December (the actual dates are chosen based on agent availability, and announced a few months in advance). On pitch day, we usually go from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern. That's a shorter window than usual, for the following reason.
Participants get 10 tweets total for the event. This is a new rule, and designed to help reduce the flood of pitches for agents and editors.
What to Pitch
This contest is for completed, unpublished novels of fantasy or science fiction. Complete means that it's proofed, polished, and ready for submission. Unpublished means you haven't self-published it online, on Amazon, or in print. Fantasy or science fiction means speculative fiction: epic fantasy, urban fantasy, post-apocalyptic, space opera.
Genre mashups, such as sci-fi romance, are welcome, as long as you're not just trying to pass off your non-SFF book as something that it's not. The agents and editors we've invited are primarily interested in fantasy and/or science fiction.
How to Pitch
Your pitch should contain four elements:
- First and foremost, the hashtag for the contest, #SFFpit.
- An indication of the book's age category. If you don't provide it, we'll assume adult.
- An indication of the books's genre in existing terms. See below for hashtags.
- A pitch for your book. Ideally, it should tell us character, desire, obstacle(s), and stakes.
You should tweet your pitch no more than 10 times throughout the day. Make sure each tweet is slightly different, as tweeting identical text is a violation of Twitter's guidelines.
Hashtags for Age Category
Please use these hashtags to indicate the target age group for your book:
- #PB – Picture book
- #MG – Middle grade
- #YA – Young adult
- #NA – New adult
- #A – Adult
Hashtags for Genre/Subgenre
Please use a hashtag to indicate the genre of your book. Because everything's going to be fantasy or science fiction, I'd like to allow some subgenre tags as well:
- #FA – fantasy
- #CF – contemporary fantasy
- #DF – dark fantasy
- #EF – epic or high fantasy
- #FR – fantasy romance
- #HF – historical fantasy
- #LF – literary fantasy
- #AH – alternate history
- #MYF – mythic fantasy
- #PN – paranormal
- #UF – urban fantasy
- #MR – magical realism
- #SF – science fiction
- #AF – apocalypse fiction
- #ML – military science fiction
- #PA – post-apocalyptic SF
- #SFR – sci-fi romance
- #SFT – sci-fi thriller
- #SH – superhero / superhuman
- #SO – space opera
- #DS – dystopian
- #SP – steampunk
- #TT – time travel
- #WW – weird west
Feel free to use two genre tags, as long as they're compatible (e.g. #FA #DF), but there's no pressing need to have more than one. For a description and some examples of these subgenres, see the SF/F Subcategories post by Connor Goldsmith of Fuse Literary. Please let me know — by e-mail or Twitter — if I haven't specified your subgenre!
Pitching Guidelines
Here are some general guidelines to ensure fairness and respect during the contest.
Please DO:
- Pitch completed, unpublished novels that represent your best work.
- Include the contest hashtag, #SFFpit.
- Use appropriate hashtags for age category and genre/subgenre.
- Pitch your book at least once an hour to give everyone a chance to see it.
- Make sure that your tweets are not identical. Twitter will block multiple instances of the same tweet, to be sure to move the hashtags around or change a character each time.
- Follow submission guidelines. Scroll up in an agent or editor's tweets to see what they are, and be sure to follow them.
Please DON'T
- Pitch more than 10 times. This ensures that no one spams the hashtag, and gives everyone a fair shake.
- Pitch directly to agents or editors. In other words, don't use @ at the beginning of your pitch.
- Use weird formatting or images to get attention. No ALL CAPS or multiple lines. These are annoying.
- Use the hashtag to self-promote. This is not the place to hock your e-book, editorial services, etc.
- Favorite other pitches unless you're an agent or editor. There's nothing more disappointing than getting notification that your tweet was favorited, only to find out it was just another author.
Pitching Tips & Advice
I am not an expert on Twitter pitching, but I can pass along some good advice from past contests:
- The best pitches tell us about the character, desire, obstacles, and the stakes.
- Start working on your pitches ahead of time. Get some feedback.
- Try at least a few different wordings or versions of your pitch during the contest. We like variety!
- Specific consequences or stakes ("Or his little brother will be executed") are better than vague ones ("Or things will never be the same").
- Show off your writing ability. Saving a few characters with "texting" abbreviations (gr8, 4ever, 2 instead of "to") is probably a bad idea.
I'd also recommend you check out these places for Twitter pitching advice:
- My brief guide to Twitter pitching
- How to PitMad by Heather Burnell on Sub It Club.
- My podcast appearance with Dan Bensen on pitching contests.
- How #PitMad Helped Me Get A Literary Agent and tips for the next one, by Diana Urban.
- My article on 9 ways to get ready for #SFFpit.
Want to Say Thanks?
I do this to give back to the author community, so no thanks are necessary. Still, I wouldn't mind if you decided to check out my book The Rogue Retrieval which was published by Harper Voyager in March 2016. If a Vegas magician infiltrating a medieval world sounds like it's up your alley, you can add it on Goodreads.
What to Expect from #SFFpit
Unfortunately, I can't promise much to the authors, agents, and editors who participate in #SFFpit. I can tell you that it'll be fun, and that participating might help authors improve their craft and query. Nevertheless, Twitter pitching contests are not a secret entrance to literary representation. In my guest post on #PitMad numbers for Brenda Drake, I estimated that the odds of success (having your pitch favorited by an agent or editor) were around 6%.
Pitching contests do work. So if you're looking for representation or publication, please join us… you have nothing to lose, except for a few hours on Twitter. Let's be honest, you were probably going to be on Twitter anyway.
Let's connect on your favorite network:

Cherry Hill Nightlife
Steel Pier: Supreme Deception
The picture of the Supremes is actually from the Steel Pier, a lost landmark of Atlantic City... about sixty miles from Cherry Hill. This was the first time I saw Cindy Birdsong as a stand-in for Florence Ballard. They did not announce this substitution; they packed Cindy into Flo's gown and wig and tried to have her "pass." In this shot, Cindy is the one who is slightly "off" in the choreography department. The true fans were anguished.Add to your Trip Planner
Cherry Hill Transportation
Sheer Aggravation
This maddening traffic law begins at about Woodbury and plagues towns northward ever after.
You can see where you want to be, there it is right on the LEFT side of the divided highway. BUT at the next traffic light you see a No Left Turn sign. This means you have to longingly look at where you wish to be, pass it by, stay in the right lane and watch for a Left Turns Here sign. In other words, you have to turn right to go left!

The Quincy Rotary Clubâ??s Illinois Sportsmen Against Hunger program has finished the seventh annual season with a record 456 deer turned in by area hunters.
The Rotary Club partners with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the 40 regional businesses to collect deer meat for local food pantries.
â??It has a huge impact. There is so much need here. You would be surprised, like I am finding out, that the Salvation Army uses it all year," Rotarian Project Chair Phil Bellis said. "The need is up every year. This is why It is important to get this message out to the hunters that they can enjoy more time in the woods and be able to help other people at the same time.â??
Rotary Club raises money annually to help cover the cost of processing the deer meat into two-pound bundles at the Golden Meat Locker in Golden and the Butcher Block in Quincy. The meat is given to the Salvation Army and other community food pantries. This year the amount of deer meat that was processed through the program equals 23,891 pounds of meet. That's enough to make 95,564 quarter pound burgers.
Rotary club members not only raise money for the effort, but assist in marketing the program by putting up posters to bring awareness. This year the club utilized media outlets to get the word out and the response was a record number of deer collected.
Sponsors include: Farm and Home Supply, Gully Transportation, Peters Body Auto Body, Western Catholic Union, GameMasters, Hilbing Autobody, J.H. Concrete, Quincy Industrial Painting Company, Independent Services, Key Outdoor Inc. and Mays, Walden & Anastas P.C. to name a few.
For more information or to make a monetary donation, contact Phil Bellis at 217-222-2405.
