Free nicotine patches to quit; Franklin County residents receive help to quit

Free nicotine patches to
quit

Franklin County residents receive
help to quit

(WWLP) - Franklin County residents trying to kick the smoking habit will be able to get free nicotine patches.

This special offer is being given because 1 out of 4 Franklin County residents smoke, while figures in other areas are about 1 in 5.

Ask any smoker; it's not easy to quit.

Arlene Goodwin of Greenfield said, "The 7th day is the hardest going cold turkey."

This is why Glenn Johnson and the Community Coalition for Teens is getting the word out on a new program that will give out two weeks of nicotine patches for free.

Johnson told 22News, "People are just struggling financially right now and people want to quit more than half the people who smoke currently tried to quit last year. This is what they're giving out, 14 free nicotine control patches, that's not enough to get someone off smoking, but its important to take that first step."

Cheryl Ruf is works as a counselor to help people quit smoking. She says the patch is only part of the process; but often without it, people won't make it to her door.

She told 22News, "It gives a person a chance to say this works I feel better I know its going to work, I feel better already."

She says the hope is it will also encourage people to save the money they're not spending on cigarettes to keep buying more patches once the free ones run out.

For smokers trying to quit, like Elizabeth Lague, its a catalyst to start trying to stop now: "Its not just that easy, if you get stressed, out you want a cigarette, obviously."

To get your free patches you can call 1-800 Try To Quit.
You have to be resident in Franklin County, North Quabbin, not have any other medical conditions and be over 18-years-old.

Give Us This Day Our Daily CupCake...

In search of finding out more information about the G1 Google Android Cupcake Update...I found the cutest ever post. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

The 2nd of two rumored cupcake release dates have passed and depression is setting in. It seems we must resort to prayer and so…

“In the name of the father/fabricator (HTC) and of the son/service (T-mobile) and of the holy ghost (Google)amen.

Our father (Android) who are in heaven (Online) hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come on earth (in handsets) as it is in heaven (online). Give us this day our daily bread (cupcake) and forgive us our trepasses (being early adopters) as we forgive those who trespass against us (AT&T, Apple and Iphone users).
Lead us not into temptation (lusting for flash, video and stereo bluethooth), world (internet) without end amen.”

Let “Cupcake” fall from heaven like “Manna” to sustain us as we cross the desert looking for the holy land, peopled by other Android users.

* * Confirmation of Replacement G1 Batteries Being Sent Out?


Confirmation of Replacement G1 Batteries Being Sent Out?

Last week, a handful of Android and mobile tech sites were buzzing with rumors of a replacement G1 battery being sent out by T-Mobile. Our friend Michael, of GoogleAndBlog, seemed to be the one to break that story, getting lots of attention from around the net.

One of our readers sent in an email this evening regarding a conversation he had with a supervisor at T-Mobile:

Just wanted to let you guys know that i just got off the phone with a tmobile supervisor who confirmed that replacement batteries are being sent out and that there was an internal memo sent around that extra batteries are being sent out free of charge and there will be no need to send back your old one! He was unable however to confirm whether or not they would be of a higher capacity or not. He said he would think it would be the same one just that consumers would have two batts.

Has anyone else spoken to T-Mobile directly about this situation? If so, what have you heard? Having a second battery is nice and all, but it’s still a pain to charge up when you have to put it into the phone. Here’s hoping it’s just a bigger battery.

HTC Dream based Android Dev 1 phone available for US$399


HTC Dream based Android Dev 1 phone available for US$399

Google is now offering the HTC Dream based Android Dev 1 smartphone to registered Google developers for US$399. The device is free of locks of any kind, and can be used with any SIM card. It also features an unlocked bootloader that doesn’t require signed images, so that you can load custom builds of the Android OS onto the phone.

Before you can buy one of these, though, you have to be registered as a Google Android developer, a process that is simple, but costs $25 to do. Right now, at least, Google is limiting orders to one handset per developer. They hint at the possibility of that changing in the future, though.

The specs on the phone appear to be exactly the same as those of the T-Mobile G1, including Wi-Fi and 3G access on the 1700 and 2100MHz network bands. The graphics on the back of the phone are new, though, so people in the know will recognize your phone as being one of the special development versions. The phone includes a 1GB microSD card and basic accessories like a charger and USB cable and wired stereo headset, but nothing special that I can see.

The Android Dev 1 phone is currently available in the United States as well as the following markets: UK, Germany, Japan, India, Canada, France, Taiwan, Spain, Australia, Singapore, Switzerland, Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Poland, and Hungary.

You can register as an Android developer on Google’s website and will be able to buy an Android Dev 1 once you have done so.

Thanks to Nick from HTCSource.com for the tip.

Ways to save on cell phone service

Ways to save on cell phone service

Picking the perfect plan

(WWLP) - Owning a cell phone doesn't have to break the bank.

The president of Family Wireless said it's all in selecting the right plan for your needs. Here are some tips:

"Follow your friends"--Many companies offer free mobile-to-mobile calling if everyone's using the same carrier.

They also say to "trim the fat"--getting rid of add-ons you might not need, like roadside assistance.

Consider a texting package. It may cost you five or six bucks, but if you send or receive more than 100 text messages a month, you'll end up paying twice that.

Of course some cell phone users opt not to have a monthly bill and instead use pre-paid phones where you buy new minutes as you need them.

Another danger of smoking

Another danger of smoking

Toxins linger long after a cigerette is out

(NBC) - If you've made a new years resolution to quit smoking here's another reason to keep you motivated.

The health problems associated with smoking and second hand smoke exposure are well known.

However now there is something new to be concerned about. Researchers are now concerned about something called third hand smoke.

Even if you don't smoke around your children, a study finds toxins from tobacco smoke can linger in the air,

and on hair and clothing long after a cigarette is put out. They can also transfer to a baby or small child easily.

Researchers say that even at low levels, tobacco particles have been associated with cognitive problems in children.

However, scientists also found that people who became aware about the dangers of third-hand smoke said

they would be more willing to impose smoking restrictions inside their homes.

Mass. lawmakers refuse pay hike

Considering the financial state we are all in right now, this is a responsible and respectful decision. I have to admit, when I heard about this yesterday, they had not decided if they were going to accept the pay raise or not.

There was a part of me that was saying to myself that there is no way that they would accept it, especially considering when last month, Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino had decided to forgo their traditional holiday parties for staff and the press. "They wanted to trim costs. They also don't want to be seen reveling in the midst of a recession and projectd deep budget cuts" WBZ News reported.

Instead of partying, members of Patrick's staff joined City Year volunteers to prepare food and gifts for families in need and Menino is encouraging people who typically come to his party and anyone else to drop off wrapped toys at his office.

And then there was a part of me that was imagining them taking and accepting it, regardless of the financial stress everyone is experiencing. Like in the Lord of the Rings, the urge and temptation looking them right in the face. It is one of those What Would You Do? situations.

Mass. lawmakers refuse pay hike

Increase optional due to law passed in '98

BOSTON (AP) -- Several state legislators say they will not accept a 5.5 percent pay hike they're entitled to receive, while others plan to donate the increase to charity.

Under a state law approved by voters in 1998, lawmakers' pay rises or falls every two years in line with the state's median household income.

The five-and-a-half percent increase would lift the base annual pay for a member from $58,237 to $61,440.

Republicans Karyn Polito of Shrewsbury, Lewis Evangelidis of Holden and Todd Smola of Palmer, and Democrat Garrett Bradley of Hingham all announced today that they were rejecting the raise.

Polito said she could not in good conscience accept the raise when so many families in Massachusetts were struggling to make ends meet.

House Speaker Sal DiMasi said through a spokesman that he would accept the raise, while a spokesman for Senate President Therese Murray would not say if she had made a decision.

Did You Know? Herbs As A Natural Stop Smoking Aid

I found this pretty cool website that tells you the herbs you can take as a natural stop smoking aid.

Did You Know? Herbs As A Natural Stop Smoking Aid:

Licorice

This herb is said to have detoxifying properties that can easily rid the body of nicotine stored from smoking. The reason why this herb is important as a natural stop smoking aid is because the detoxifying effect it has can actually help in clearing up the nicotine addiction that one gets when smoking for too long. Licorice is noted to aid the liver in clearing out other oxidants that can damage the body and other vital organs. As a natural stop smoking aid, licorice can help not only in smoking but also in other matters of health.

Licorice root is the best part of the plant to use as a natural stop smoking aid. This herb is usually chewed to enable the patient or the smoker to get full use of the elements present in the herb. Licorice sticks can also be used as a form of satisfaction for any smoking craving one might get when trying to quit smoking. It is best not to use the candied licorice sticks but instead use the twigs that are all natural as a natural stop smoking aid.

Peppermint

This is another natural stop smoking aid that can actually help you with breathing problems associated with smoking. This can actually also help with one's circulatory system as well as clear the lungs. The effect of these is to have better detoxification which helps to eliminate the nicotine left in one's system. Many people take peppermint tea when trying to stop smoking or also use aromatherapy to help them.

Slippery Elm

This is another herb that can act as one of the natural cures to quit smoking and helps detoxify the system thus eliminating the addiction that one develops on nicotine. It clears up the lungs and the respiratory and circulatory system of dangerous poisons that one may accumulate due to years of smoking. There are several forms of this natural stop smoking aid herb and these come as tea, supplements and infusions.

These herbs are just a few of the highly effective natural stop smoking aids that can help those who wish to quit smoking.

Seeing Stars

I was sitting here thinking about Jac's Annual Grammy Awards Party and it got me thinking; wouldn't it be cool to get tickets to see it in person? Which led me to; how would you go about getting tickets? And with the help of Google, I stumbled on this website.

Alas, tickets to the annual Grammy Awards show are not available to the general public; it's "by invitation only" to nominees, recording artists, & record company execs. And due to the 9/11 scare, there were no bleachers or other areas for fans outside the Staples Center.

(But if you want a more certain way to see many of the same music superstars in person, you'll be happy to learn that tickets are available to the public for the American Music Awards.)
