Vine lets you record multi-shot videos up to six seconds (144 frames) long on your iPhone and post them to Twitter and Facebook. The app is dead-simple; there are no editing tools. Having witnessed Facebook acquire Instagram, Twitter bought Vine three months before Vine's January product launch. Its closest competitor is Cinemagram, which displays short, looping videos and allows for limited post-production effects.
But Vine solves the producer's problem by letting you record a video by tapping-and-holding once per shot. It solves the consumer's problem by auto-playing as the user scrolls through a feed. In my experience, uploading takes at least a few minutes, even on a strong Internet connection, and the app drains the battery. Scrolling through a feed on Vine is a seamless experience but watching Vines embedded in a Twitter feed is less elegant: for each video, you must click to view it, click to unmute it, and click to hide it -- before its looping gets inside your head.
Whatever uses for Vine the independent film community dreams up next, one sure pearl of wisdom comes from Ferris Bueller: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." So too with Vines.
Indiewire spoke with film distributors, editors and curators about their innovative uses of the app in its infancy.
Oscilloscope Stunt
On February 19, Oscilloscope announced that it would break new ground by releasing Todd Berger's comedy "It's a Disaster" on Vine. "From the moment it launched just three short weeks ago, it was so clear to us that six-second loops of video, edited in-phone, and posted in real time was and will be the future of film distribution," the company wrote. Funnier still, the distributor followed through -- sort of. O-Scope posted 25 Vine clips -- bootleg-style hand-recordings of a screen playing the film (some enhanced by shadow puppets) -- in rapid-fire succession to its Twitter account.
"Very few people actually went through" all the clips, said O-Scope's Josh Fu. "They're very tedious -- they're unwatchable, frankly," added the distributor's co-president Dan Berger. "Part of it for us was doing it so shittily that people would take note." But several in the comedy, tech and film press took the announcement literally. As Berger explained, "You're a comedy writer and you just read [the equivalent of] an Onion article and somehow you didn't grasp that. That was fascinating to
us." O-Scope's point is not that Vine is inherently mediocre, but rather than Hollywood, in its anxiety over new media, sometimes dives into new technologies thoughtlessly. As Berger put it: "Let's make light of it. Let's treat it really legitimately but every step of the process do it illegitimately, in a terrible way."
The lesson of the O-Scope stunt is not what they did but that they were first to do it, and used the novelty to build buzz. The confusion may have been a headache for the company's publicists, but it helped the film cut through the clutter. "We got exactly what we were hoping to get out of it, which was raising awareness for a film that exists in an indie space where everyone is always fighting to raise awareness for their film," Berger told Indiewire. The tongue-in-cheek approach also helped the studio stay true to the core values of its late founder Adam Yauch, who rose to fame as MCA of the Beastie Boys. "All of our press releases -- even when they have serious content -- have jokes in them," Berger said. "It's a brand that's so inflected by Adam's sense of humor."
Berger promises that the studio has some more tricks up its sleeve.

The U.N. declared it an international holiday.
Wikipedia: Malala Yousafzai
(Malālah Yūsafzay, born 12 July 1997) is a Pakistani school student and education activist from the town of Mingora in the Swat District of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. She is known for her education and women's rights activism in the Swat Valley, where the Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. In early 2009, at the age of 11/12, Yousafzai wrote a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC detailing her life under Taliban rule, their attempts to take control of the valley, and her views on promoting education for girls. The following summer, a New York Times documentary was filmed about her life as the Pakistani military intervened in the region, culminating in the Second Battle of Swat. Yousafzai began to rise in prominence, giving interviews in print and on television and taking a position as chairperson of the District Child Assembly Swat. She has since been nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize by Desmond Tutu and has won Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize. A number of prominent individuals, including the Canadian Prime Minister, are supporting a petition to nominate Yousafzai for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Raag Darbari takes a satirical look at the decay in moral values in the Indian society post-independence. It exposes the nexus between politicians, businessmen, criminals, and policemen, and highlights the way in which they collude to exploit society for selfish reasons.
The protagonist is Ranganath, and the book is narrated through his perspective. Ranganath is a research student who majors in the subject of History. His university education has taught him to aspire for the highest of ideals and moral values.
Ranganath moves to a village called Shivpal Ganj to stay with his uncle Vaidyaji for a few months. Vaidyaji is at the helm of the political scene in the village. He is very diplomatic and articulate. He also happens to be the manager of the local college.
Ranganath discovers that all the village politicians, including his uncle, misuse their positions of power to manipulate the village people and fulfil selfish ambitions. As Ranganath learns more about the workings of the village, the differences between the corrupt nature of the village politicians and the high moral standards that he aspires to become glaringly obvious.
In this book, the author seeks to highlight the negative aspects of rural life through the viewpoint of an educated person. Some of the other characters in the book are Ruppan Babu, Principal Sahib, Badri Pehelwaan, Chhote Pehelwaan, Khanna Master, Sanichar, and Jognath. The helpless common man is represented by Langad, who seems to have no choice but to bow to the corrupt people in power.
Raag Darbari was originally written in Hindi. It was first published in 1969. It won the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1970. This particular edition of the book is a 2008 reprint in Hindi. The book was adapted for theatre by Girish Rastogi and it was staged by Bahroop Arts Group as Ranganath Ki Waapsi. An English translation by Gillian Wright is also available. It has also been translated into fifteen other languages.

Raag Darbari, the best social-political satire of IndiaOne of the best social-political-satire written in any Indian languages, including Indian English writings. The narratives are brilliantly photographic and humorous and the depiction of events is so live and vivid that it will remain with you forever. The language of the novel is a new experiment in Hindi as the events have been described in most hilarious and funny manner bringing out the strength of words to its best. This is a must read to experience rural and semi-urban India and its social-political constitution and their conflicts. The best part is that by the sheer strength… (Expand)

One of the best pieces of proseThis book is undoubtedly one of the funniest to have come out of India. The author has created his own genre and is so downright funny that one cannot do with just one read. You would want to read it again and again. Although Bawasir, Mela, Panchayat Scenes, Introduction of Chotte...stand out for me, I can bet if you pick any random page and read any random paragraph, you cant just help feeling playfully amused!

Timeless ClassicOne of books to be read for those who have interest in Hindi Literature. The story is set in post -independence India, but doesnt seem stale or out-dated. In fact, some of villages may be having the situation depicted in the book. The author has good command over the local slangs and dialect of Awadh region and this is very well reflected in the language. The story is absolutely hilarious and the language, though in some places seems to too adult/brash, has been used such beautifully that reader will have a good time in reading this book.

Taking Satire To Another LevelI had heard about this book so much since I was a child that I had to read it. The book however proved to be way above my expectations. It is a masterpiece by Srilal Shukla that he himself was never able to match up to again.

भारतीय समाज का सच्चा चित्रइस पुस्तक को खरीदने से मैंने नहीं सोचा था कि श्रीलाल शुक्ल जी ने भारतीय (ग्राम्य) जीवन का इतना सजीव चित्रण किया होगा। शुक्ल जी ने जटिल बातों एवं घटनाओं को इतने सरल एवं व्यंग्यात्मक तरीके के लिखा है जैसा पहले कभी नहीं पढ़ा। ४५ वर्ष पहले लिखी पुस्तक आज भी प्रासंगिक है।

First, this is not insomnia, I have just come in and still going strong. In the next life, call me Friday. I love them.
Me too Stu, I've been planning my assault on 2013 over the past couple of days and January is either pretty bleak or manic. Hopefully a design job for Martyn but he's gone away and it is unconfirmed, and hopefully a week of inspecting works for a builder....but he's been very quiet since I failed one of theirs last week (had to, it had a sorely high Ze and much evidence that it had never seen a tester).
So all round Dave's for ham sandwiches if the going gets tough?
However, one of my industry mates tells me that we should never worry about work coming in. If you book into some B&Bs and unplug the smokes, I'll come diagnose and split the profit with you.
29 December 2012 06:57 AM
well my January looks like it will starting slow so your B&B plan sound like a good idea Zs, but rather than unplugging detectors it would be easier to spray deodorant in them and set the alarm off, I'm only a short ass so it would save me standing on a chair to unplug them and breaking all the H&S regs, although if there is no notice in the room telling me not to stand on the chair and I fell off it I could make a claim for injuries ))

Had a call from a long standing customer this morning at 0800hrs - she was seen by 1030hrs - the switch to one of the FCU's I fitted last summer had stuck on. A brand that I would never normally fit but did so at her request. Six months is all it's lasted and probably only been turned on/off less than 100 times.
I printed off the charges from Pimlico Plumbers to take with me - £220 an hour for New Years Day minimum charge one hour - thereafter chargeable in 15 minute blocks with materials at cost plus 20% and VAT on the whole lot. As expected she had a fit and we agreed to negotiate later in the week as she got me four other jobs in the same block of flats that should keep me busy next week.
Pimlico would have charged £220 an hour for your Boxing Day afternoon job - plus VAT I think - so don't feel guilty. In their words "No Call-out, No Travelling, No Parking, No Congestion- No Hidden Charges.........the only plumbing and service company that has 100% transparent charges and we have a clear, upfront, open and honest pricing system.
They may be the top end of the charging range but I'm sure there are plenty worse - and people keep paying them so they must be doing something right

|NUPRODX, INC. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|SEAT TILT MECHANISM FOR CHAIRS USED BY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES - This application provides a mechanism that consists of right and left mounting bases that in different embodiments are adapted for mounting on a variety of different chairs. These mechanisms have roller tracks that have been designed on a radius with the fulcrum or pivot point positioned very close to where the center of mass is located, for a wide spectrum of different sized people from children through over-sized adults, to achieve varying degrees of movement. On the inside of the left and right mounting bases are curved slots that are parallel to the curvature of the roller tracks where guide members on the front and rear mounting brackets keep the seat and back rest from coming off the chair. There are front and rear rollers that traverse within the roller tracks that pivot on axles in the front and rear mounting brackets. In the curved slots on the sides are adjustable stop pins that limit the tilt or travel of the seat and back rest. A rack and spur gear mechanism is incorporated to manually adjust the position of the seat and back rest of the chair by rotating a crank handle. By removing the rack and spur gear mechanism and adjusting the stop pins the device will perform as a rocking chair. Turning a friction locking knob will lock the seat and back into a stationary position.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) is an American mystery thriller slasher film that was loosely based on Lois Duncan's 1973 novel of the same name. The novel is not a slasher novel whereas the movie is and the movie also took inspiration from an urban legend, The Hook. Director Jim Gillespie (Eye See You (2002), Venom (2005), Joyride (1995)) did a good job executing this movie with the screenplay he had to work with. The film contains sexual references, comedy, mystery, bad language, violence, murders, and suspense.
I Know What You Did Last Summer revolves around four friends that are being stalked by a killer one year after they covered up a car accident that killed someone. Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt - Ghost Whisperer (2005), I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998), Can't Hardly Wait (1998)) her boyfriend Ray, Julie's best friend Helen, and Helen's boyfriend Barry drove to a secluded beach after drinking heavily at a party. Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr. - Scooby-Doo (2002), She's All That (1999), I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)) was driving the group home but became distracted and hits a pedestrian on July 4, 1996. The group cannot come to a conclusion that everyone agrees on as to what to do with the body. Julie's final answer of disposing the man's body into the water is what they decided to do. As the group began taking the body to the dock, the man revives and fights back only to fall into the water and drown.
Julie returns home from college for the summer one year later and receives a letter stating, "I know what you did last summer." After a few events and one murder, Barry receives a note in his gym locker with a picture of his BMW and a note saying "I know." It did not take long for Barry almost to die as someone wearing a rain slicker tries to run him over with his car. Julie later told the group that they had hit David Egan on July 4, 1996. I enjoyed this movie for what it offers and consider it to be entertaining although it was sort of boring at points and dragged on. I gave this movie a five because of the plot and effort put forth by the director. The screenplay was at fault, and the director did a good job trying to direct the movie from a screenplay that was surely falling apart. The actors also did a good job, but it was not their best performance as I am familiar with a few of them. The makeup department and special effects were not excellent but were not bad either. The movie is a hit or miss and most likely will only be enjoyed by open-minded viewers that will not question what is going on but instead go with the flow.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This is a great little herb! I use it to help lower my blood pressure, but it is also a great immune system builder!
My husband works on cruise ship drydocks all over the world, and would always come back sick as a dog. Someone suggested that he take Astragulus, together w/ Vitimin C to help his immune system. He has been taking the combination for over 4 years, and has only come back sick one time. This stuff works great!!! I highly recommned it for people who suffer a lot of colds!!!
Can keep you from getting Lyme Disease
Posted by 5611028254780129753 on Apr 07, 2016
I have used this product as part of my treatment for Lyme disease with the Stephen Buhner's herbal Lyme protocol since April of 2015. I could not have made complete recovery without it. This is also recommended to take all season long in higher dose 3,000 mgs per day to stop transmission of Lyme if you ever get bit by a tick. I wish I would have known back in 2013 that all I had to do was take this every day all summer.

I love this herb it has great properties health wise but the addition of magnesium stearate makes it unappealing to me, I wish this product would not contain this added ingredient.

As in Oklahoma, poverty nationwide has moved to the suburbs, report says
A national report on the changing face of poverty is reflected in an increasing need for food and health care in Oklahoma City's suburbs.
A report by the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., says a majority of America's poor now live in the suburbs of its major metropolitan areas.
"The landscape of poverty has changed. But our perceptions and policies really haven't kept pace with that change," Elizabeth Kneebone, a Brookings fellow, said Monday.
The number of poor residents in the Oklahoma City suburbs increased 41.9 percent between 2000 and 2011, Brookings' report said. From 2000 to 2010, the suburban population increased 14.4 percent.
The report said there were 206,601 poor residents in the metro area — urban and suburban — in 2011.
The urban poor still outnumbered the suburban poor, and the rate at which the number of poor residents in the city grew outpaced the growth of poor residents in the suburbs.
Still, the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is responding to a shift in need to the suburbs, said Rodney Bivens, the executive director.
The number of pounds of food distributed has increased 77 percent in the last four years in Edmond, 121 percent in Moore, 86 percent in Yukon, and 466 percent in Midwest City, he said.
The Food Bank has a "backpack" program to send food with elementary-age children as they go home from school on Fridays. School food pantries supply middle and high school students with food for after school, weekends and holidays.
Six years ago, none of those programs were in Edmond, Bivens said. Now the Food Bank has a backpack program in 11 Edmond elementary schools, and food pantries in six middle and high schools.
Needs are similar in other suburbs, he said: "That's true in Midwest City, Yukon and Moore."
Pockets of poverty
Scott Burcher, chief administrative officer of Variety Care, which operates community health centers, said his organization finds pockets of poverty often are hidden in affluent areas.
Schools also are calling seeking primary medical care for students.
"That's another area where we see it popping up," he said.
Seemingly small changes can make a significant difference, said Billy Shore, founder of Share Our Strength, a national organization dedicated to erasing childhood hunger.
In conjunction with the report's release, Shore said an initiative to provide breakfast to more schoolchildren at first ran into objections. It called for serving food in classrooms instead of cafeterias.
Serving breakfast in the cafeteria was a stigma for some children, and required them to arrive early, Shore said. The idea was to devote the first 10 minutes of the day to breakfast.
Once the change was made, teachers found it actually increased classroom instructional time "because every kid is in every seat on time."
Meeting qualifications for government funding can be a chore, said speakers related to the Brookings' report, who urged greater flexibility matched by accountability for reaching goals for such things as meals served and patients treated.
Breaching those kinds of barriers often takes time, said Burcher, Variety Care's chief administrative officer in Oklahoma City.
"It can be a daunting process," he said.

Going on line and doing a little research will help you find something to do during the cold winter months of Michigan and Grand Rapids MI seems to have an abundance of interesting things to do. This is a follow-up to our coffee visit on Saturday, January 16th.
OK, so now Pat & I had our coffee and checked out the Grand Rapids Coffee Roasters, so it was on to Fredrick Meijer Gardens for the Orchid Show, something else that was free on Saturday, January 16 & 17.
Lots and lots of beautiful Orchids and so many different kinds. There were many people out there, just like us, curious to see these beautiful flowers. I'm sure many of them were people who had their plants displayed. How proud they must be.
In spite of the cold wintry weather this past weekend, my friend, Pat and I had quite the excursion. One nice thing about Grand Rapids, MI. You can always find something to do and it doesn't have to cost an arm & a leg.
It all started out with a visit to "The Saturday Experience" at the Grand Rapids Coffee Roasters in Grand Rapids, MI. This wholesale coffee bean business is located in an old factory on Hall St. SW, just beyond Godfrey St., around the back of the building. We entered at the only door we saw that was on the second floor and proceeded to walk up steps to the 5th floor, where we found a room filled with eclectic furnishings, lots to look at, amazing teas and delicious coffee. There is also a freight elevator but I think it was out of order that day.
Brann's is offering a free 6oz. Sirloin and two sides on Veteran's Day, Wednesday, November 11th.

Drop off any size new diaper packages to any of the five participating YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids during regular business hours on Thursday, October 29 or Friday, October 30 to help make a difference for those in need.

Veteran's Day is just around the corner and the Sheridan VFW Post and Auxiliary are sponsoring a dinner to pay tribute to Veterans who served in any and all wars or conflicts. They will also honor those who served in non-combat areas during wars or conflicts.
There will not be a charge for the dinner but you must make a reservation, so they can plan accordingly. If you are undecided about attending, please do not make a reservation. They are planning on approximately 200 people and right now have 183 reservations. Phone: 989-291-9680
The keynote speaker for the evening will be Lindell Holm, retired Marine Corps with the rank of Lt. Colonel. Other guests will include representatives from the VFW Department and District and Auxiliary Department and District. Past Commanders and Past Presidents will be honored as well that evening.

While volunteering this past weekend with WZZM13 and our "Make a Difference Day" event on the GVSU campus in Allendale, I was surprised to realize how little I really knew about bone marrow transplants. I'm sure a lot of you feel the same.
The main thing I learned was that 75% of the time, if you needed a bone marrow transplant, your immediate family would not qualify, meaning they would not be a match. That is when you turn to a place such as Michigan Blood. They are also connected to the National Registry.

Hi everyone-
I'm newly engaged (yay!) and I am looking for venue ideas in Boston or Cambridge. Basically, we will have ~100-130 guests, and are looking for April or May 2009. We need something affordable (read: definitely not the State Room or the Taj!). We are both vegetarian as are many of our guests, so we are looking for a place that would be able to provide good vegetarian food or allow outside caterers. We would also like to have the ceremony onsite. We will have a lot of family (like 80% of the guest list) coming in from out of town, so it should be someplace reasonably centrally located or easy to get to. (We have incredibly dispersed families!) Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks in advance!

Hi--I'm new around here--I live in the south metro Atlanta area and I'm a mom of two, wife and special education teacher. I recently bought a Giant Cypress DX for use in my neighborhood and on path trails. I don't much about biking but I'm ready to learn! My dd is 4 (almost 5) and I'm trying to get her used to a bike--I just picked up a trail behind/tag along bike for her off of craig's list and I hope it'll get her used to the feel of a bike for when she gets a little bigger.
I'd love to find people in my area to ride with--I have an interest in street cycling and there are tons of cyclers around here but I'm not sure I've got that kind of stamina and I certainly don't have the right bike!


text:
Over the last 3 years i've put on about 2-3K miles a year,......and no chain shows ANY measurable wear and my mostly vintage Dura Ace chainrings on a lot of the bikes look new also.
One of the advantages of having a fairly large stable,.......i guess at almost 57 i may never have to put a new chain on????

Additional Information
About Credit MongolCredit Mongol is the largest non-banking financial institution (NBFI) in Mongolia. Its mission is to contribute to the prosperity of Mongolians by providing high-quality, affordable and varied financial services to micro-entrepreneurs and small-to-medium-sized businesses. It prioritizes serving remote, rural populations that have typically lacked access to credit and other financial services. Uniquely, it offers solar panel loans to nomadic herders, most of whom live without electricity.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Spontaneous Fermentation: Bubble, Bubble, Less Toil, or Trouble?
Open a refrigerator in the back of many wineries and you may find some leftover pizza, cheese and fruit for tomorrow evening's mixer, and a few rectangular foil packages that look suspiciously like bread-baking yeast. However, those packages of yeast—and they are yeast—are for the wine, not bread dough.

When arthritis brings chronic pain and curtails normal daily activities, it may be time to look beyond medication for relief. In an upcoming presentation, Pardee Hospital orthopedic specialist Amal Das, M.D., will discuss the latest procedures in hip and knee joint replacement and how they can be used to successfully treat severe arthritis.
The presentation, "Everything You Need to Know about Hip and Knee Replacement," is scheduled for Wed., April 24, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the Pardee Health Education Center, 1800 Four Seasons Blvd., Blue Ridge Mall, Hendersonville. Registration is required; please call 1-866-790-WELL (9355).
The medical community has made great strides in joint replacement, offering less-invasive options that can significantly reduce surgical and recovery times and lead to improved outcomes for those with problem joints. Dr. Das is a board-certified orthopedist who is fellowship-trained in joint surgery and specializes in hip and knee replacements. His patients benefit from his experience in state-of-the-art surgical techniques and from his patient-focused treatment philosophy. Dr. Das performs surgery at Pardee Hospital's Orthopedic Center of Excellence and practices at Hendersonville Orthopedic Associates, PLLC, The Joint Specialists of WNC.
Pardee's Orthopedic program includes joint surgeries for the hip, knee and shoulder, as well as comprehensive pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation programs designed to ensure the best surgical outcomes.

The Comprehensive Wound Healing Center at Pardee Hospital is the recipient of the 2012 Robert Warriner III, M.D., Center of Excellence Award, in recognition of outstanding patient satisfaction and quality performance.
The award is presented annually by wound-care provider Healogics, and recognizes centers that meet or exceed exacting benchmarks. Pardee's Comprehensive Wound Healing Center (CWHC) is one in only 39 Healogics affiliates to receive the award out of more than 500, and the only wound care center in North Carolina to achieve this distinction. The award was received in the first year of the CWHC's eligibility.
"In an area where patients have multiple choices for wound care, we are the only wound center that has met and exceeded these high benchmarks for care," says Rachel Beal, CWHC Program Director. "This award affirms that our center is an outstanding wound care resource for Pardee Hospital and its community, and it recognizes the work of the entire CWHC team."
Center of Excellence Award recipients must meet the following criteria for two complete, consecutive calendar years:
• Patient Satisfaction – Greater than or equal to 92 percent
• Healing Rate – Greater than or equal to 91 percent
• Outlier Rate (cases that lie outside established benchmarks) – Less than or equal to 19 percent
• Median Days to Heal – Less than or equal to 30
The Comprehensive Wound Healing Center at Pardee Hospital is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art, outpatient clinical wound care and hyperbaric medicine for acute and chronic wounds. All levels of clinical staff are trained in the most current, evidence-based practices for problem wound management and hyperbaric medicine. Patient care is provided in partnership with Healogics, the leading national provider of wound care services. The center is also a past recipient of the Wound Care Center of Distinction Award by Diversified Clinical Services for exceptional patient outcomes.

Pardee to offer free screenings during Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week
To help increase awareness of oral, head and neck cancer, Pardee Hospital will offer free screenings for these cancers on Wed., April 17, from 2 to 5 p.m., at the Pardee Rehab & WellnessCenter, located at 212 – B Thompson St. in Hendersonville. Appointments are required and can be made by calling 1-866-790-9355.
Adults of every age should consider having an oral cancer screening. It is estimated that more than 53,000 Americans will develop cancer of the head or neck in 2013. This includes tumors that can appear in or around the throat, nose, sinuses, mouth and larynx. There has been a rise in cases of oropharyngeal (mouth and throat) cancer in young adults, and adults who use tobacco and alcohol regularly are at particular risk.
"It is very important to catch these cancers early," says W. Mark McCollough, M.D., a radiation oncologist at Pardee. "The signs and symptoms of oral cancer often go unrecognized, but early detection can facilitate less aggressive treatment and result in a higher cure rate."
The screenings at Pardee will be performed by Pardee physicians specializing in otolaryngology, including John Pickens, M.D.; Michael Neuenschwander, M.D.; and Michael Stalford, M.D. These experienced doctors will perform a brief exam of the mouth and throat to look for evidence of any abnormalities.
For more information on Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week and cancer prevention tips, visit www.headandneck.org, the official website of the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance.
On Tuesday, April 9, at 10:30 a.m., Pardee Hospital's physical and speech/language therapists will explain how exercise and current therapies can keep disabling symptoms of Parkinson's disease at bay. Titled "Parkinson's Disease: Why We Need to Exercise," the program will be presented during the Brevard-Hendersonville Parkinson's Support Group meeting at the Brevard-Davidson River Presbyterian Church, 300 E. Main Street in Brevard, N.C. All are invited to attend.
Lucy Butler, SLP, and Chloe Roderick, PT, experienced therapists from the Pardee Rehab & Wellness Center, will explain how exercise and individually tailored speech and movement therapy can prevent newly diagnosed patients from losing basic abilities, and may help others regain some of the mobility they've lost. The presentation will cover topics such as maintaining mobility, balance and fall prevention, speech volume, stuttering and swallowing. The presentation will include a demonstration of the center's brand-new Gait Lab, used to help patients stabilize and maintain an effective walking gait.
"Parkinson's is now a disease we can do everything about," says Roderick. "Patients without treatment can lose their movement pattern; it becomes laborious to get in and out of a car, walk 50 feet and get out of bed. Exercise therapy can evoke what we call neuroplasticity, allowing us to 'remap' the brain. This can keep those skills well ingrained so that those with Parkinson's do not lose health and mental function."
"Early intervention after a Parkinson's diagnosis slows down the progression of symptoms," adds Butler. "The No. 1 way to do that is with exercise. In seven years of providing LSVT speech therapy, for example, I've found that 100 percent of our patients improve their speech effectiveness."
The Pardee Rehab & Wellness Center is the only facility in Henderson County to provide both the LSVT LOUD therapy program for speech and the LSVT BIG therapy program for mobility. Each program has been proven to have dramatic, positive effects on Parkinson's symptoms. In addition, the center's new Gait Lab includes an assessment tool that provides quantifiable feedback on posture, step length, gait quality and speed, helping the center's therapists to identify specific areas to target in therapy. "A patient with Parkinson's may say, 'I don't know why I feel like I'm going to fall,'" explains Roderick. "Using the Gait Lab, we can provide the reason and prescribe the therapy."
Pardee Rehab & Wellness Center is the largest and most comprehensive facility of its kind in Henderson County. This facility offers fully integrated physical, occupational and speech therapy services to meet individualized needs. Services are performed on an outpatient basis, and are provided by licensed physical and occupational therapists along with speech/language pathologists. The facility offers a fully equipped and professionally supervised gym, which is open to the public and therapy graduates. Pardee Rehab & Wellness is dedicated to helping patients prevent and overcome injury or disability so they can enjoy a mobile, satisfying life. The Pardee Rehab & Wellness Center is also home to Cardiac Rehab, Pulmonary Rehab and Diabetes Education.

Hello; I've been considering an e-bike for some time now, but am still a little confused about the best option. My situation is this: I'm 47 now, and have been a cyclist for most of my life. I do it because it's the only form of exercise I really enjoy. I have lived in San Francisco for the last 20 years and while this city has many advantages, it is not conducive to cycling, at least not for someone of my abilities. I can handle the hills, but I don't enjoy doing so. The net effect is that I ride far less than I should. This is compounded by the fact that my house is on the side of one of the highest hills in the city, so after a ride I always have to contend with a long uphill slog at the end. I'm a big guy, too. 250 lbs. I curently ride a 24 spd 'hybrid' bike with 700 x 25c wheels.
My reason for considering e-biking is simply to help with the hills. I thought the Bion-x PL350 would be ideal, since the area I usually ride features some loooong downhills for utilizing the regenerative feature. However, I've recently read that the most you recover with the regen mode is 3-5%. Plus, I understand that the Bion-x doesn't allow freewheeling. I really only want the assist on the steep hills, and would prefer using 100% human power on the flats and small hills.
Given that I'll typically meet three or four steep hills on a ride and that I'll need enough power to gain about 500 ft. in elevation at the very end, can I get enough power for a 20 mile ride out of a converstion kit? If so, can you offer any advice as to the best options?
I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on this.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Lumber Guy beat Brigand by 2 3/4 lengths Saturday in the $200,000 Jerome Stakes for 3-year-olds at Aqueduct.
It was strictly a two-horse race. The top two finishers battled from the start with The Lumber Guy finally taking charge in the late stages for his third win in four starts. Mike Luzzi was aboard for trainer Mike Hushion as the gray colt ran a mile in 1:36.04.
The Lumber Guy paid $6.50, $4.10 and $2.50. Brigand returned $5 and $3, and Stirred Up paid $2.50 to show.

|All poultry events canceled in Nebraska
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 11 June 2015 16:53
By Dharma Blake-Cole
The Wauneta Breeze
After much consultation with Nebraska Extension and poultry industry leaders, the Nebraska Department of Agriculture, also known as the NDA, cancelled all poultry events across Nebraska through Jan 1, 2016.
The ban includes all events where birds are co-mingled. These include local and county fairs and festivals, the Nebraska State Fair, Ak-Sar-Ben, swap meets, exotic sales and live bird auctions.
The ban prevents all 4-H members from taking their birds to the Nebraska county and state fairs this season. 4-Hers are still encouraged to finish their projects as Nebraska Extension is working to identify other ways for the youth to showcase their learning and participate in the fairs in other ways.
These events have been banned in an effort to prevent the spread of HPAI and to protect the physical and economic health of Nebraska's poultry sector.
The highly pathogenic H5N2 avian influenza (HPAI) has been spreading across Nebraska with cases found in Dixon County with a second case, referred to as Dixon 2, found in close proximity to the first outbreak. NDA found a third case named Dixon 3 within a mile of the original outbreak named Dixon 1. A fourth case was found in Knox County.
All cases of the outbreak were in farms owned by the same operator. In all the outbreaks a perimeter was established and the birds were depopulated.
With all the cases of the outbreak, under USDA protocol, the NDA visited all locations that have poultry within a six mile radius.
All Nebraska poultry producers, large and small, should help stop the spread of HPAI by monitoring their flocks for symptoms of the virus and notify the NDA immediately if they suspect any problems.
Poultry owners should prevent contact between their birds and other birds including wild birds. Additional information about H5N2 avian influenza can be found online at www.nda.nebraska.gov.
All suspicions, such as sick birds or unusual bird deaths, should be reported immediately to the NDA by calling 877-800-4080 or to the USDA's toll free number 1-866-536-7593.

"Thrilling, sporty products are part of Honda's DNA," he said. "The Type R brand has a passionate following from Honda customers and the new model will again aim to set new standards in performance and handling.
"Developed specifically for the European market and with the application of technologies developed through Honda's participation in the World Touring Car Championship, the all-new Type R will aim to become the fastest front-wheel-drive vehicle on the Nurburgring race course."
