Titus Andronicus
by William Shakespeare
Character Clues
Character Analysis
Speech and Dialogue
In Titus Andronicus language use is an indicator of how much power a character has. Take Lavinia, for example. At the beginning of the play, she is completely silent when Bassianus and Saturninus fight over who will marry her (and nobody bothers asking her what she wants). This suggests that Lavinia is an object of desire, not a figure whose desires are relevant to those around her. Later Lavinia is brutally silenced when her rapists, Demetrius and Chiron, cut out her tongue. (This is also why it's so fitting that Titus orders that Demetrius and Chiron be gagged just before he bakes them into a pie: "[...] bind them sure, / And stop their mouths, if they begin to cry" (5.2.17). After Aaron confesses to being the mastermind behind all of Titus's suffering, Lucius orders him bound and gagged as well: "Sirs, stop his mouth, and let him speak no more" (5.1.14). Up to this point, Aaron has been in almost total control, but here he can no longer "torment [the Andronici] with [his] bitter tongue"(5.1.12).
Sex and Love
A character's sex life can tell us a lot about his or her character in this play. Tamora's sexuality is meant to align her with viciousness, cruelty, and immorality. When Saturninus says he's thinking about making Tamora his empress, she responds by promising to be a "handmaid to [his] desires." Tamora doesn't really care about Saturninus, but she promises to keep him very satisfied in exchange for power, which suggests that she is willing to do just about anything for the kind of power that will enable her to get back at the Andronicus family. This includes encouraging her sons to rape Lavinia while she's off rolling around in the forest with Aaron. Did we mention that Tamora's secret affair with Aaron continues even after she's married to Saturninus?
Lavinia, on the other hand, is chaste and virtuous, which signals her innocence. (In Shakespeare's day, being "chaste" meant that a woman was a virgin when she got married, and after her wedding night she was completely faithful to her husband.) In fact, the play goes out of its way to demonstrate that, even after Lavinia is raped, she remains virtuous. When Marcus finds Lavinia after she's been assaulted, she turns away in "shame" when he guesses that she was raped. She also blushes (despite the fact that she's lost a lot of blood):
Ah, now thou turn'st away thy face for shame!
And, notwithstanding all this loss of blood,
As from a conduit with three issuing spouts,
Yet do thy cheeks look red as Titan's face
Blushing to be encountered with a cloud. (2.4.1)
Compare Lavinia's extraordinary ability to blush with Aaron's refusal (or inability?) to blush when his adulterous affair with Tamora is discovered: "Fie, treacherous hue, that will betray with blushing / The close enacts and counsels of the heart!" (4.2.18).
Social Status (Race and Nationality)
Early on in Titus Andronicus, we're led to believe that Goths and Moors are "barbarous" and the Romans are civilized. Marcus enters the stage and declares that Titus has been at war with the "barbarous Goths" (1.1.1), who are soon paraded through town like captive animals. Later, Bassianus accuses Aaron of being a "barbarous Moor" (2.3.2). But Shakespeare soon makes it clear that there's not much difference between the Romans, Goths, and "Moors." Just about everyone in this play participates in the destructive cycle of violence and revenge. Titus sacrifices Tamora's eldest child (1.1), Aaron and Tamora encourage Demetrius and Chiron to rape Lavinia (2.3), and so on. For more on this topic, see "Themes: Race."

Electric field assisted manipulation of microdroplets on a superhydrophobic surface4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3523472View Description Hide Description
The efficient manipulation of low-volume droplets offers many potential applications in relation to chemical and biomedical tests and protocols. A novel approach to the manipulation of a microdroplet on a superhydrophobicsurface is introduced in the present communication. The microdroplet was first picked up onto a hydrophilic needle, transported from one location to another, and finally released under the action of an electric field force. Three key parameters in this process, the radius of the droplet, the distance between the two electrodes, and the required voltage, were investigated. This study should be helpful for the design of microfluidic devices.

Preface to Special Topic: Optofluidics4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3533774View Description Hide Description
This Special Topic section of Biomicrofluidics is on optofluidics or micro-optofluidic systems (MOFS), a burgeoning technology that aims to manipulate light and fluid at microscale and exploits their interaction to create highly versatile devices and integrated systems. This special issue puts together various contributed articles focusing on optofluidics or MOFS, which help inspire new research ideas and innovation in the microfluidics and nanofluidics community.
Review Article: Recent advancements in optofluidic flow cytometer4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3511706View Description Hide Description
There is an increasing need to develop optofluidic flow cytometers. Optofluidics, where optics and microfluidics work together to create novel functionalities on a small chip, holds great promise for lab-on-a-chipflow cytometry. The development of a low-cost, compact, handheld flow cytometer and microfluorescence-activated cell sorter system could have a significant impact on the field of point-of-care diagnostics, improving health care in, for example, underserved areas of Africa and Asia, that struggle with epidemics such as HIV/AIDS. In this paper, we review recent advancements in microfluidics, on-chip optics, novel detection architectures, and integrated sorting mechanisms.
Optofluidic microcavities: Dye-lasers and biosensors4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3499949View Description Hide Description
Optofluidic microcavities are integrated elements of microfluidics that can be explored for a large variety of applications. In this review, we first introduce the physics basis of optical microcavities and microflow control. Then, we describe four types of optofluidic dye lasers developed so far based on both simple and advanced device fabrication technologies. To illustrate the application potential of such devices, we present two types of laser intracavity measurements for chemical solution and single cell analyses. In addition, the possibility of single molecule detection is discussed. All these recent achievements demonstrated the great importance of the topics in biology and several other disciplines.
Cell rotation using optoelectronic tweezers4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3496357View Description Hide Description
A cell rotation method by using optoelectronic tweezers (OET) is reported. The binary image of a typical OET device, whose light and dark sides act as two sets of parallel plates with different ac voltages, was used to create a rotating electric field. Its feasibility for application to electrorotation of cells was demonstrated by rotating Ramos and yeast cells in their pitch axes. The electrorotation by using OET devices is dependent on the medium and cells' electrical properties, the cells' positions, and the OET device's geometrical dimension, as well as the frequency of the electric field.
Optofluidic planar reactors for photocatalytic water treatment using solar energy4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3491471View Description Hide Description
Optofluidics may hold the key to greater success of photocatalytic water treatment. This is evidenced by our findings in this paper that the planar microfluidic reactor can overcome the limitations of mass transfer and photon transfer in the previous photocatalytic reactors and improve the photoreaction efficiency by more than 100 times. The microreactor has a planar chamber enclosed by two -coated glass slides as the top cover and bottom substrate and a microstructured UV-cured NOA81 layer as the sealant and flow input/output. In experiment, the microreactor achieves 30% degradation of 3 ml methylene blue within 5 min and shows a reaction rate constant two orders higher than the bulk reactor. Under optimized conditions, a reaction rate of is achieved under solar irradiation. The average apparent quantum efficiency is found to be only 0.25%, but the effective apparent quantum efficiency reaches as high as 25%. Optofluidic reactors inherit the merits of microfluidics, such as large surface/volume ratio, easy flow control, and rapid fabrication and offer a promising prospect for large-volume photocatalytic water treatment.
Characterization of a microflow cytometer with an integrated three-dimensional optofluidic lens system4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3502672View Description Hide Description
Flow cytometry is a standard analytical method in cell biology and clinical diagnostics and is widely distributed for the experimental investigation of microparticle characteristics. In this work, the design, realization, and measurement results of a novel planar optofluidic flow cytometric device with an integrated three-dimensional (3D) adjustable optofluidic lens system for forward-scattering/extinction-based biochemical analysis fabricated by silicon micromachining are presented. To our knowledge, this is the first planar cytometric system with the ability to focus light three-dimensionally on cells/particles by the application of fluidiclenses. The single layer microfluidic platform enables versatile 3D hydrodynamic sample focusing to an arbitrary position in the channel and incorporates integrated fiber grooves for the insertion of glass fibers. To confirm the fluid dynamics and raytracing simulations and to characterize the sensor, different cell lines and sets of microparticles were investigated by detecting the extinction (axial light loss) signal, demonstrating the high sensitivity and sample discrimination capability of this analysis system. The unique features of this planar microdevice enable new biotechnological analysis techniques due to the highly increased sensitivity.
Miniaturization of dielectric liquid microlens in package4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3494030View Description Hide Description
This study presents packaged microscale liquidlenses actuated with liquiddroplets of in diameter using the dielectric force manipulation. The liquid microlens demonstrated function focal length tunability in a plastic package. The focal length of the liquid lens with a lens droplet of in diameter is shortened from 4.4 to 2.2 mm when voltages applied change from 0 to . Dynamic responses that are analyzed using 2000 frames/s high speed motion cameras show that the advancing and receding times are measured to be 90 and 60 ms, respectively. The size effect of dielectric liquid microlens is characterized for a lens droplet of in diameter in an aspect of focal length.
Optofluidic tunable microlens by manipulating the liquid meniscus using a flared microfluidic structure4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3497934View Description Hide Description
We have designed, demonstrated, and characterized a simple, novel in-plane tunable optofluidic microlens. The microlens is realized by utilizing the interface properties between two different fluids: solution and air. A constant contact angle of is the pivotal factor resulting in the outward bowing and convex shape of the solution-air interface. The contact angle at the solution-air interface is maintained by a flared structure in the polydimethylsiloxane channel. The resulting bowing interface, coupled with the refractive index difference between the two fluids, results in effective in-plane focusing. The versatility of such a design is confirmed by characterizing the intensity of a traced beam experimentally and comparing the observed focal points with those obtained via ray-tracing simulations. With the radius of curvature conveniently controlled via fluid injection, the resulting microlens has a readily tunable focal length. This ease of operation, outstandingly low fluid usage, large range tunable focal length, and in-plane focusing ability make this lens suitable for many potential lab-on-a-chip applications such as particle manipulation, flow cytometry, and in-plane optical trapping.
Optofluidic refractometer using resonant optical tunneling effect4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3502671View Description Hide Description
This paper presents the design and analysis of a liquid refractive index sensor that utilizes a unique physical mechanism of resonant optical tunneling effect (ROTE). The sensor consists of two hemicylindrical prisms, two air gaps, and a microfluidic channel. All parts can be microfabricated using an optical resin NOA81. Theoretical study shows that this ROTE sensor has extremely sharp transmission peak and achieves a sensitivity of 760 nm/refractive index unit (RIU) and a detectivity of . Although the sensitivity is smaller than that of a typical surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor (3200 nm/RIU) and is comparable to a 95% reflectivity Fabry–Pérot (FP) etalon (440 nm/RIU), the detectivity is 17 000 times larger than that of the SPR sensor and 85 times larger than that of the FP etalon. Such ROTE sensor could potentially achieve an ultrahigh sensitivity of , two orders higher than the best results of current methods.
Release monitoring of single cells on a microfluidic device coupled with fluorescence microscopy and electrochemistry4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3491470View Description Hide Description
A method for monitoring the biological exocytotic phenomena on a microfluidic system was proposed. A microfluidic device coupled with functionalities of fluorescence imaging and amperometric detection has been developed to enable the real-time monitoring of the exocytotic events. Exocytotic release of single SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells was studied. By staining the cells located on integrated microelectrodes with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde, punctuate fluorescence consistent with localization of neurotransmitters stored in vesicles was obtained. The stimulated exocytotic release was successfully observed at the surface of SH-SY5Y cells without refitting the commercial inverted fluorescence microscope. Spatially and temporally resolved exocytotic events from single cells on a microfluidic device were visualized in real time using fluorescence microscopy and were amperometrically recorded by the electrochemical system simultaneously. This coupled technique is simple and is hoped to provide new insights into the mechanisms responsible for the kinetics of exocytosis.
Optical manipulation and binding of microrods with multiple traps enabled in an inclined dual-fiber system4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3504716View Description Hide Description
We present experimental demonstrations of optical manipulation and optical binding of microscopic glass rods using the multiple traps created by a dual-fiber optical trappingsystem. Trapping, alignment, rotation, and stacking of glass rods were realized. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that cylindrical particles are optically trapped and bound by an optical fiber-based system. The optical manipulation of rods is also investigated through numerical simulations, which are used to quantitatively explain the experimental results. The ability of manipulating multiple particles of different shapes, as well as the integrable nature of the fiber-based setup, bestows the system the potential to be used in microfluidicsystems for versatile particle manipulations.
Transmittance tuning by particle chain polarization in electrowetting-driven droplets4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3516656View Description Hide Description
A tiny droplet containing nano/microparticles commonly handled in digital microfluidic lab-on-a-chip is regarded as a micro-optical component with tunable transmittance at programmable positions for the application of micro-opto-fluidic-systems. Cross-scale electric manipulations of droplets on a millimeter scale as well as suspended particles on a micrometer scale are demonstrated by electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) and particle chain polarization, respectively. By applying electric fields at proper frequency ranges, EWOD and polarization can be selectively achieved in designed and fabricated parallel plate devices. At low frequencies, the applied signal generates EWOD to pump suspensiondroplets. The evenly dispersed particles reflect and/or absorb the incident light to exhibit a reflective or dark droplet. When sufficiently high frequencies are used on to the nonsegmented parallel electrodes, a uniform electric field is established across the liquid to polarize the dispersed neutral particles. The induced dipole moments attract the particles each other to form particle chains and increase the transmittance of the suspension, demonstrating a transmissive or bright droplet. In addition, the reflectance of the droplet is measured at various frequencies with different amplitudes.
Optofluidic tweezer on a chip4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3509436View Description Hide Description
A novel method to realize an optical tweezer involving optofluidic operation in a microchannel is proposed. To manipulate the optical tweezer, light from an optical fiber is passed through both PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane)-air surfacelenses and an optofluidic region, which is located in a control channel. Two liquids with different refractive indices (RIs) are introduced into the control channel to form two different flow patterns (i.e., laminar and segmented flows), depending on the liquid compositions, the channel geometry, and the flow rates. By altering the shapes of the interface of the two liquids in the optofluidic region, we can continuously or intermittently control the optical paths of the light. To demonstrate the functionality of the proposed method, optical tweezer operations on a chip are performed. Changing the flow pattern of two liquids with different RIs in the optofluidic region results in successful trapping of a diameter microsphere and its displacement by .
Tunable visual color filter using microfluidic grating4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3491469View Description Hide Description
This paper reports a tunable visual color filter based on a microfluidic transmission grating. The grating lines are formed by the microflows in an array of evenly spaced straight microchannels. In experimental study, the transmission of white light measures a shift of visual color from red to blue in the zeroth order diffraction in response to a change of the refractive index from 1.3290 to 1.3782 in the microflows. The merit of large tunability of transmission peak makes this grating potential for various applications in biological and chemical measurements, such as space- and time-resolving micropattern spectrophotometers and separation of the fluorescence from the excitation.
Optofluidic in situ maskless lithography of charge selective nanoporous hydrogel for DNA preconcentration4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3516037View Description Hide Description
An optofluidic maskless photopolymerization process was developed for in situ negatively charged nanoporoushydrogel [poly-AMPS (2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid)] fabrication. The optofluidic maskless lithography system, which combines a high power UV source and digital mirror device, enables fast polymerization of arbitrary shaped hydrogels in a microfluidic device. The poly-AMPS hydrogel structures were positioned near the intersections of two microchannels, and were used as a cation-selective filter for biological sample preconcentration. Preconcentration dynamics as well as the fabricatedpolymer shape were analyzed in three-dimensions using fluorescein sample and a confocal microscope. Finally, single-stranded DNA preconcentration was demonstrated for polymerase chain reaction-free signal enhancement.

Integrated electrical concentration and lysis of cells in a microfluidic chip4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3496358View Description Hide Description
Lysing cells is an important step in the analysis of intracellular contents. Concentrating cells is often required in order to acquire adequate cells for lysis. This work presents an integrated concentration and lysis of mammalian cells in a constriction microchannel using dc-biased acelectric fields. By adjusting the dc component, the electrokineticcell motion can be precisely controlled, leading to an easy switch between concentration and lysis of red blood cells in the channel constriction. These two operations are also used in conjunction to demonstrate a continuous concentration and separation of leukemia cells from red blood cells in the same microchannel. The observed cell behaviors agree reasonably with the simulation results.
Thermal mixing of two miscible fluids in a T-shaped microchannel4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3496359View Description Hide Description
In this paper, thermal mixing characteristics of two miscible fluids in a T-shaped microchannel are investigated theoretically, experimentally, and numerically. Thermal mixing processes in a T-shaped microchannel are divided into two zones, consisting of a T-junction and a mixing channel. An analytical two-dimensional model was first built to describe the heat transfer processes in the mixing channel. In the experiments, de-ionized water was employed as the working fluid. Laser induced fluorescence method was used to measure the fluid temperature field in the microchannel. Different combinations of flow rate ratios were studied to investigate the thermal mixing characteristics in the microchannel. At the T-junction, thermal diffusion is found to be dominant in this area due to the striation in the temperature contours. In the mixing channel, heat transfer processes are found to be controlled by thermal diffusion and convection. Measuredtemperature profiles at the T-junction and mixing channel are compared with analytical model and numerical simulation, respectively.
Observation of hydrophobic-like behavior in geometrically patterned hydrophilic microchannels4(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3499416View Description Hide Description
We present our observation of meta-hydrophobicity, where geometrically patternedsurfaces make hydrophilic microchannels exhibit hydrophobic-like behaviors. We analyze the wetting-induced energy decrease that results from the surface geometries and experimentally demonstrate how those geometries can modulate the dynamics of capillary-driven wetting and evaporation-driven drying of microfluidic systems. Our results also show that the modulated wettingdynamics can be employed to generate regulated patterns of microbubbles.

Ratings for Dr. Louis J. Ziegler
I have seen Dr. Ziegler for several issues over the last couple of years. He is very knowledgeable not just bout joint, neck and back pain but about general health and well being. He has a holistic approach to health care. Both my husband and I see him and we could not be happier with Advanced Health Center. The staff are excellent and always flexible with schedules. Advanced Health is just a great environment and has definitely improved my health.
Dr. Ziegler had been my chiropractor and acupuncturist for about one year. I have scoliosis and arthritis in my neck. Thanks to Dr. Z's care, I feel better than I have in years.
I had no idea what to expect, but it's been a wonderful experience. The staff is really nice and helpful as well. They are very accommodating for this new patient.
Dr. Louis Ziegler is an amazing chiropractor that knows his stuff. I had lower back pain for 2 years and on my first visit to Advanced Health Center, he took an x-ray and found out that I had a compressed disc (L5) in my lower back. Before seeing Dr. Lou I was not able to walk without a tremendous amount of pain and I just figured that I would always have this pain and would have to give up many activities that I like for the rest of my life. However, since my sessions with him, I have been able to walk pain free and although I still have some sessions to go, I can see myself doing some of the things I enjoy in the near future. Doc Lou has also helped with working on my neck for migraine pain, which I have not had since he has worked on me. I am very grateful that Dr. Lou is on my insurance plan because he has made a difference in my health. Lou is very professional, has a kind disposition and has been able to put my mind at ease and make me feel safe in his care. He shows that he genuinely cares about my health by always taking the time to listen to my questions and answering them, and he never rushes me out the door. The atmosphere when I walk into the Advanced Health Center is very positive and relaxing and the staff members are awesome and very friendly. If I need to change an appointment they are very accommodating. Thank you to the nice ladies at the front desk, Joanna, Amanda and Sarah, and to the two wonderful technicians, Ellie and Meredith. All of you contribute to the great atmosphere at AHC. I also really like the nature tapes that play in the front office, because I am fascinated with animals and nature. If you want a caring and attentive chiropractor check out Dr. Ziegler, he is a top notch doctor and just an overall great guy.
If you are looking for great chiropractic care - Dr. Ziegler is your guy. I went to see Dr. Ziegler for neck pain that was radiating down my arm and had been bothering me for some time. I had seen another doctor some months prior who took all of five minutes to tell me I had 'tennis elbow,' then prescribed Naproxen and icy hot. But when the pain continued to persistent, I decided to look for a second opinion. In my search I came across Dr. Ziegler and the Advanced Health Center. From the start, I was, and continue to be, impressed with Dr. Ziegler. He seems to encapsulate the rare find of a doctor who is warm, attentive, and takes the time to listen to you; he has an innate passion and energy that is directed around helping find a pathway to better health. After an x-ray, which he did right there, he found I had arthritis in my neck which was causing the radiating pain, after some appointments to treat it and learning about exercises I can do to help; the pain is gone and continues to stay gone. I didn't have to take any drugs either – I like that! If you are looking for a doctor who is passionate about his work and the people he treats, I highly recommend Dr. Ziegler and his excellent staff – very welcoming and caring!
I decided to see Dr. Ziegler after reading his online review. When I went to see him first time, I was not able to walk or bend. I had excruciating pain getting out of bed in the morning. After one week of therapy I was able to get out of bed with out crying. Now I am completely pain free. Dr. Ziegler and his his staff are very friendly. No waiting time and it is easy to get appointment. I highly recommend him to others.
I've been going to Dr. Ziegler for about a year now and couldn't recommend him any more highly!! The staff is super friendly, scheduling is flexible (including early evening appointments), and they understand when last-minute things come up and I need to shift my appointment (granted, I don't do this often, but it's nice that they don't charge me for it!) I've had ongoing back stiffness ever since a car accident about 7 years ago and with all the groupon specials for chiropractors, I figured I'd give it a try and went to my first chiropractor (not Dr. Ziegler). Then I learned my insurance covers it for a $15/visit copay (MUCH cheaper than the groupons!) and kept going. After a month or two with that person, I decided I wanted someone closer to home and I found Dr. Ziegler via Yelp. Dr. Ziegler did a thorough intake process, discussing my lifestyle, what I was looking for, the causes of the problem, etc. (MUCH more thorough than the other chiro). After about a month with Dr. Ziegler, he noticed my stiffness wasn't decreasing as quickly as he would expect and he suspected there might be a structural cause (something my previous chiropractor had never even considered), so he sent me for an MRI--turns out I had a bulging disc. That diagnosis allowed him to properly adjust treatment and I've made great strides since then. Dr. Ziegler also does acupuncture, which I'd love to try for allergies, but my insurance doesn't cover that and I can't afford the cost out-of-pocket. That said, when I mentioned my allergy problems to Dr. Z, he made several other recommendations for how I could control my allergies short of allergy shots and drugging myself to high heaven (as I'd previously done) and acupuncture. His suggestions (twice-daily use of a neti pot, among other things) has worked wonderfully and I've had the best allergy season (which for me lasts from March-October!) I've ever had in DC.
Dr. Ziegler is exceptional. I went to him several years ago but hadn't needed his services for a while. When I injured my back last month I decided to try a chiro that was in walking distance of my home. It was then I learned what an amazing doctor, Dr. Ziegler is. This other place gave me a diagnosis that left me thinking I was lucky to be alive with all that is wrong with me and wondering where I might find the $4200 after insurance they wanted to charge. I went to Dr. Z for a second opinion and was reminded why I should have never looked elsewhere. He knows what he is doing, he makes you feel welcome and safe and he didn't want to charge me the $4200 to get better. His diagnosis was much less alarming, his treatment plan reasonable, and his ability to relate to the patient a rare gift. I'm two visits in and feel great.
Professional, kind, courteous, efficient, excellent medical practitioners and diagnosticians - Dr. Lou Ziegler and the staff at Advanced Health Center are truly exceptional. I would recommend them to anyone. Dr. Lou helped restore healthy movement in my neck, after years of intense athletics, and also identify something far more difficult to diagnose. All's well thanks to this doctor group! I grew up as a kid of a doctor in a small town near a major metropolitan area, and so was used to exceptional medical care. Since leaving home, I've found literally two doctors that are on par with the excellence in diagnostics, in attentiveness and treatment for routine check ups as much as for medical diagnostics, in professionalism of doctors and staff... Dr. Lou and his office are one of those. For something as important as doctors and health care, honest and thorough reviews are so important because it's so hard to find good doctors! Dr. Lou and team are fantastic - give them a try!

Tech and biotech stocks have slipped significantly in recent weeks while the IPO market first stumbled and has now nearly closed. In our April Following the Fed video, we discuss how institutional investors view their portfolios and what may be driving recent market action. We may be seeing a classic example of sector rotation at their level, allowing time for investors to rebalance and ready themselves for the next leg up.
We invite you to listen to insights from Joe Morgan, Chief Investment Officer of SVB Asset Management, and Frank Amoroso, Managing Director of Silicon Valley Bank Private Equity Services, in this lively discussion of global markets.

"Great location, everything good quality"
12th September 2013, Jill H, London
Twelve minute walk from the station. Similar distance to public and private beaches walking through the lovely pedestrianised area and passing all the wonderful restaurants. One minute away from a handy Carrefour local, very handy for snacks, drinks, sandwiches etc. Very high quality breakfast, constantly refreshed by hard working staff. Very clean. Good to have a hot drinks machine that could be used all day although it was unfortunately out of order for two of our four days there but that was our only problem. Staff very helpful. Free Wifi and a computer in lobby giving fifteen minutes free use at any time. We have stayed here three times now and have not been disappointed.
"Lovely hotel"
2nd July 2013, elsthorpe, New Zealand
We were upgraded we think so our room had a sitting room as well.6th floor with a balcony and chairs and table to sit out .Lovely views of Menton on both sides.Reception couldn,'t have been more helpful and pleasant.We were directed to a top class restaurant for our evening meal.Proximity to beach was fantastic and to walk round harbour and old Menton.We wished we had longer.Only down side was a very meagre breakfast for the price paid and nothing had been or was replenished after an earlier sitting.
"Visitng for the Fete du Citron"
24th February 2013, 46peter, Aylesbury, United Kingdom
Bright modern hotel recently refurbished. Conveniently situated within reasonable walking distance from the tourist attractions,with bus and train stations a short taxi journey away. Staff very helpful and rates were good value bearing in mind the demand for rooms due to the festival.Buffet breakfast as expected from the Accor chain but no restaurant for evening meals and needed to be mindful that local restaurants closed early.
"What a pity that the roome we had booked (and paid for) were not available on arrival."
16th May 2012, LBW850, London, United Kingdom
We were told that our booking was only for two rooms, the check in staff were adamant. Then I showed them the confirmation email and they went quiet. No apology, no compensation offered when the only available room was of inferior quality. Then to cap it all the room was not made up in the morning so we returned to an unmade beds and uncleaned bathroom.I can only put it down to bad management.View management response »
Management responseFirst of all i wanted to thank you for the comments you made during your stay.Indeed it is thank to constructive feedback that we continously challenge ourselves and correct our mistakes.Our priority is to make our guests's stay as pleasat as possible and as a result we aim to remain at the first place on trip advisor as we did for the past now.However regarding your stay, it is important to provide some clarification :When you arrived it is exact that you had in your hands a proof of booking for 3 rooms.my receptionists couldn't find anything to justify these three rooms, a defect that happens ( fortunately ) very rarely, due to the dysfunction of our booking central reservation..We only had two rooms reserved under your name.While apologizing and explainning the reason for this unfortunate time-con, we gave you an extra room on the first floor of our hotel, a chance because it was the last available room that day!!! The room that was given to you is my romm 105, on the first floor featuring all the necessary comfort and modernism that we were able to provide during our renovation completed in february 2010 ( i remind you that my hotel was opened in february 2010 after a year of work!!!!! )Moreover, as a commercial gesture our reception made you a discount of 15% off rack rate, to apologize again for the inconvenience.Finally, for the room you have been charged 114 € instead of 135 € !!!!!! ( the advertised rate ).I hope that these explanations will help you understanding the reasons for the unfortunate circumstances that occured during your stay in our establisment.Yours faithfulltMessina MathieuDirector

"I would stay here again!"
15th February 2012, Ipswich, United Kingdom
Excellent location in the heart of Menton (near to restaurants / walks / all services). The entrance to the hotel car park is tight, but not impossible. Street parking (pay) is available, but you need to be lucky to get a space. Alternative underground (pay) parking is available 200m away. Whilst the weather was not great for our stay, the balcony would be great in warmer times. The breakfast was good (the usual continental spread), the bonus was a juicer, for the plentiful oranges and lemons! The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The rooms were clean and tidy, with good bathrooms. The colour schemes and individuality of the floors added something an Ibis lacks.
"Staying in Menton for the Lemon Festival"
2nd March 2011, Oxford
Stayed with my wife at the All Seasons Hotel in Menton for one night only,. Chose the hotel as it scored highly in various reviews on the net. The very good reviews are well merited.All the hotel staff were very pleasant and nothing was too much for them. We speak some basic French, but we had no language difficulties as most of the staff spoke good or very good English. The room was smallish but, perfectly fine and as we were out and about most of the time, the room size wasn't an issue for us. The bed was very comfotable and most rooms seem to have a fairly large balcony with a table and two chairs outside and this was lovely to sit out on in the bright early morning sunshne. We had a view over the rooftops or Menton and of the mountains. The hotel is central and because Menton isn't that large a place, we could walk everywhere within a maximum of 30 minutes - most places of interest, the Lemon festival (excellent), the old town (very interesting) and the main churches and gardens are (mostly) all within easy walking distance if you have no problem getting about. The breakfast was good with a range of options and, most useful of all, the hotel has a free coffee machine that they are quite happy for those staying to useat any time. Check in and check out was fine and they have a room where you can leave bags and suitcases if you have time to spare before leaving Menton but have to vacate your room. Very happy with out brief stay and would recommend this hotel to others.

Home Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The answers to just about any question that you may be asking can be found on our website. However, if you have a specific question that is not addressed on the site, or you have requested assistance that needs specific or special attention, feel free to use our contact form.
With thousands of visitors a day, we do ask that you view our FAQs first however.
You have questions? We have the answers!
When does the season begin?
Typically, ski season opens Thanksgiving weekend and runs through the end of March. However, over the last few years, resorts have been able to open sooner, and the normal closing date is March 31st, depending on the weather. (Some resorts have begun to stay open into the first week of April, so you'll have to continue to check our slope conditions!
How are the roads during inclement weather?
SkiSoutheast is THE ONLY source to find out what the roads are like during inclement weather. The area's departments of highways are extremely talented at getting all of the ski access roads clear, as well as all major roads and highways. Even during big storms, the main roads are rarely not drivable. Four wheel drive and/or chains are advised during snowfalls, however.
Where can I find Accommodations/Lodging?
You can find lodging links right here. It's best to book early! We cannot advise where vacancies are, but we can tell you that we have the most extensive list, so just click and ask away! Slopeside lodging books first so, if you want on the slopes, make reservations early!
How about lodging for groups?
We have had groups (such as churches and larger family groups) ask about lodging for 15+ and we have now addressed that question on our accommodations link.
What's the current weather or forecast?
(Is it likely to snow during January, etc.) Well, we can't predict the weather for months ahead. However, we CAN tell you that we typically get numerous snowfalls (some heavy) during November, December, January, February and March. If you want to see the current weather and 5-day forecast, check out our sister site, HighCountryWeather.com, and you can also see a detailed weather forecast on the front page of this website.
The resort says things are great, then we show up to rocks and bare spots. What gives?
Well, we have to tell you that the resorts themselves ALWAYS want to tell the reports on conditions accurately. However, sometimes overzealous employees have (and still can) overstate the conditions. You can count on SkiSoutheast to tell it like it is. We also have several LIVE views of the High Country on our WEBCAMS! Check them out: Ski Area WebCams
How much are Season Passes?
Season Pass information can be found by FIRST, selecting the resort you are interested in and then viewing their rates.
Where can I do some Cross Country Skiing?
I'd like some directions to the resorts. Also, what are the closest airports?
You can see basic information here. For more detailed maps, most of the search engines have map sources that allow for filling in your starting city and the destination of your choice to provide maps.
Flying into the area:
If you have decided WHICH resort you wish to visit, simply click on the that resort link on the front page of this website. On EACH resort page, we have included the closest airports.

Get a Preview of Ken Burns' New Documentary About the Dust Bowl
For Immediate Release:

Contact: Robert Butler
Get a Preview of Ken Burns' New Documentary About the Dust Bowl
For thousands of years the Great Plains were predominantly grasslands. But with the advent of modern agricultural methods the land was plowed, setting the stage for an ecological disaster that in the 1930s turned prairies into deserts and unleashed a pattern of massive, deadly dust storms that to many seemed like the end of the world.
Acclaimed documentay maker Ken Burns' four-hour Surviving The Dust Bowl debuts on November 18 and 19 on PBS stations. But Kansas Citians can get an advance look at the film on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. at the Plaza Branch, 4801
Main St.
Screenwriter Dayton Duncan will introduce excerpts from the documentary, then join Kansas Geological Survey interim director Rex Buchanan and KU assistant professor of history Sara Gregg in a panel discussion moderated by KCPT's Randy Mason.
The Dust Bowl was born of economics as farmers plowed and planted every available acre. But with the Great Depression many farmers lost or abandoned their land, which was left exposed and vulnerable to the drought of 1932. Winds began picking up dust from the open fields, creating dust storms of biblical proportions. Children developed life-threatening "dust pneumonia," businesses collapsed, and thousands of Americans lost their land and were forced on the road in an exodus unlike anything the United States had ever seen.
In fact, the Dust Bowl was the worst manmade ecological disaster in American history.
Surviving the Dust Bowl chronicles this critical moment in all its complexities and human drama. It is part oral history, and filled with seldom-seen film footage, previously unpublished photographs, and the songs of Woody Guthrie, who would be 100 years old this year.
Dayton Duncan is the author of 10 books, including Out West: A Journey Through Lewis & Clark's America and The National Parks: America's Best Idea. He was a consultant on three PBS series The Civil War, Baseball, and Jazz, and in 1996 was co-writer and consulting producer for a 12-hour series on the history of the American West.
This event is co-sponsored by KCPT and the University of Kansas Libraries.
Admission is free. A 6 p.m. reception precedes the event. RSVP at kclibrary.org or call 816.701.3407.

2010 was an odd year for the horror genre. Despite the fact that 2010 saw the most major theatrical horror releases of any recent year that I can remember, there wasn't that one "must-see" film that defined the year. If you've listened to the Best of 2010 episode of the podcast or read Schnaar's Top Ten Horror Movies of 2010 column, you know that us writers here at Bloody Good Horror had a hard time coming up with a definitive list as we all had wildly different opinions about how the year shook out.
Be still my beating heart! Leonardo DiCaprio is confirmed to star in "The Devil in the White City", a new film based on H.H. Holmes, America's first serial killer. This will mark the first time I've ever had a man crush on a murderer. Mark this down.
Good news and bad news for fans of "The Walking Dead". The good news is the AMC series had a big ass premier with 5.3 million viewers. The bad news, that means instead of going out, getting drunk and going home with some random person you probably sat at home and watched TV. I've never been so proud and disappointed of you in my whole life.
I love every thing that comes out of Norway. Vikings, those weird ass black metal kids and that band that sang "Barbie Girl". Well add the new film "Inside a Whore", which has a new trailer online, to the list. I don't even know what it's about, I got so excited about the title I blacked out for a solid twenty minutes.
Still got "Let Me In" fever? Take a number kids! So here's a deleted clip from the film to keep your chops moist. Just to be clear though, if you're taking a number I think only 17 people went to see the movie so the line might not be too long. 17 people counting the five of us on the podcast. And no, we won't be in the line.
We're wikked psyched to talk about this film.
Next weekend Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island" hit theaters and I for one couldn't be more excited. A bunch of nut jobs trapped on an island with Leonardo DiCaprio playing a cop, Ohh La La! In preparation we've got two new clips for your viewing pleasure below. I would make one suggestion though, Leo should say "see" after every sentence. "I want to talk to all your wack jobs here, see". Sounds good right? You're welcome, Martin.
"Shutter Island" hits theaters next Friday, the 19th and will also be the topic of that week's podcast.
Leo Dicaprio shoots a paranoid look to the camera in Martin Scorcese's "Shutter Island". In the film, Leo plays U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels, who is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding on the remote Shutter Island. Scorcese, still prolific at almost 70 years old, currently has 5 films either announced or already in post-production.
I was pretty excited for "Shutter Island" already but last night a second trailer premiered at the Spike TV Scream awards and I went into full on super excited mode. If you havn't seen me in that it's pretty frightening. The new trailer wich you can watch below really kicks up the creepy factor from the first one and I'm pretty excited to see how Scorsese plays this one.
It's been a while since Martin Scorsese has scared the shit out of us. "Cape Fear" came out over 15 years ago but it looks like he has done it again with "Shutter Island". Based on Dennis Lehane's novel, the thriller staring Leonardo DiCaprio had it's trailer hit the web yesterday and from the looks of things it's going to be pretty kick ass.

Funny, useful glitch (infinite money)
I've been playing this, and like it more than most. But I noticed a way to make infinite money (and not even that slowly). Apologies if someone else noted this elsewhere, but I couldn't find it.
You can do this as early as your first visit to Tacarigua, and as far as I can tell, you can do it until the end of the game. The trick is the following: the gunsmith (Barney) gives you two opportunities to make money in his shooting game. The first is shooting the fleet, which costs you 50 gold, but makes you 500 gold. The second is a contest that costs 10 gold, but makes 250 gold. Both are one-time opportunities.
However, it turns out you can play "Shoot the Fleet" as often as you want. To do this, simply fail out in the 10 gold game (just shoot all of the shots without hitting anything). After you fail, Barney will offer you to play shoot the fleet. Win as usual, and you will get 500 gold.
It's obviously a glitch, BTW - if you miss a shot on the last round of Shoot the Fleet (recommended, BTW), Barney will refund the 10 gold you should have lost in the original game. While not necessary for the plat, it's nice to build up gold stores - you can then buy up tons of healing items, buy the best armors, etc., without ever worrying about not having enough gold to max out skills later on.
The first rule of playstationtrophies.org is...I don't really know.
But if it's as sucky as PS3trophies.org, you probably STILL shouldn't criticize too much.

If you have a crowdfunding platform, online business or a blog, search engine rankings are extremely important. It's well-known that being on the first page of Google searches for relevant keywords can pay rich dividends for any business. No wonder, all businesses are trying out various search engine optimization techniques! HitTail is one such service that has provided rich dividends for many websites and specialize in SEO strategies around long-tail keywords.
Traditional SEO marketing does not concentrate enough on long-tail keywords which are usually 2 words or more in length, for example "towels for children". Businesses have traditionally concentrated on trying to rank high for single keywords like "towels"and "children". Though useful keywords and ranking high for them can be very lucrative, generally these are highly competitive keywords and trying to rank high for them is neither easy nor cheap. In this scenario, long-tail keywords provide an opportunity for websites to rank high for keywords that are generally ignored by established websites. Also, these longtail keywords generally come from people searching for very specific things, which is the kind of market that is every website wants.
Focusing on improving your rankings for longtail keywords can pay rich returns as they are less competitive and have high conversion rate of visitors to sales. The traffic increase can also be seen immediately which suits businesses that are trying to expand. HitTail is an amazing tracking software that analyzes your website traffic and mines them for long-tail keywords. It is as easy as putting their tracking code on your website and the software quietly analyzes keyword traffic using their proven algorithm to give you a list of suggested longtail keywords.
After getting the suggestion of long-tail keywords, you can tweak the articles on your website to rank high for those keywords. This is a great service as it takes a lot of work to go through Google analytics and analyze a downloaded list of keywords yourself to find the most relevant ones. Using this service is sure to help your website rank high for keywords with great potential.
If you really want to be successful in online marketing, you must have a longtail keyword strategy, along with the conventional strategies. It's no longer possible to get your targeted market by simply putting in general keywords. If you rank high for specific searches, for example, a person buying a particular book, you are more likely to convert that customer instead of ranking highly for only the name of the book. HitTail is a great service to help you develop a website that targets such long-tail keywords.
We highly recommend that you take advantage of the www.HitTail.com free trial.
If you aren't including Long Tail Keyword research in to your SEO efforts, you're missing a huge opportunity. We recommend HitTail.com as the tool you need to capitalize on organic search opportunities.

Galata, also known as Pera, is a part of the Beyoglu district. The famous Galata Tower was built by the Genoese in 1348. Situated in this lively neighborhood of Beyoglu shops, cafes and restaurant are just around the corner. Istiklal Avenue and Galata Bridge are reachable within minutes.

Very nice and cosy room with a wonderful view!
Great service and very friendly staff!
We stayed for our one week holliday in this room. And we whould do it again.
The included breakfast in the hostel (3 min walk) gives you a good basement for the day. Ercan was realy friendly and the comunication (in english) was great.
Like the descriptions of other users are telling, the view is breathtaking. The room it self is realy charming and the rest of the flat has a simple standard in comparision to german standard. The stareway up to the fifth floor is realy special. It feels a bit like Havana 20 Years ago. After a couple of days it feels like home.
We visited Istanbul in the middle of October 2015. I can imagine that in summertime the room can be very hot.
A nice room with a wonderful view in a big apartment.
I recommend it. Thanks Ercan.
The view from the window is stunning enough that I can recommend this stay. Also the location is great and the hostel staff friendly and helpful. The room was clean and even though you shouldn't expect luxury, everything is in good enough shape. More equipment for the shared kitchen would be a good idea. The stairway doesn't look good as others have stated, but it's not a real problem. Although choice for breakfast is not abundant, it's tasty (served in the hostel, which is a short distance away).
Several different rooms from this apartment can be found on wimdu. I got the 15m² one instead of the 25m² I booked, which wasn't a problem for me (in fact I didn't even realize it when I was there, so didn't ask about the reason), but confirming beforehand might be a good idea if you need the space.
Make sure you remember the entry of the house if you plan to come back late, because after the shutters are in front of the closed shops, the street looks quite different.
This was a very nice place, in the center and near the Galeta tower. The people who worked there were very helpful! It's just a pity that the airport is so far away.
Clearly recommendable. Very nice people. Very friendly welcome. Always helpful. We had a proper and comfortable, large room for the family ( couple + little boy ), and with a fantastic view over the Bosporus. Was like cinema. We will come again. Thanks and very best regards, Ute, Felix and Jörg
Die Appartement Lage ist großartig, es ist ruhig und in ein paar Minuten Fußweg ist alles erreichbar. Das Zimmer fanden wir auch sehr angenehm. Nur nicht sehr sauber war es, deshalb 1 Punkt abzug . Ansonsten ist der Gastgeber sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Im großen und ganzen kann ich es aber doch empfehlen. THANK YOU ERCAN !
Wir waren eine Woche über Silvester 2016 da. Die Lage ist sehr gut, so dass man das Zentrum und viele Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichen kann. Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, Früstück ganz lecker, also nichts auszusetzen, außer nur das Wasser in der Dusche war manchmal lauwarm, aber erträglich.
Das Zimmer kann man nur weiter empfehlen.
Danke, Ercan!
Definitive ein traumhafter und einzigartiger Ausblick auf den Bosporus und die Hagia Sophia. Man hat vom Bett aus morgens einen grandiosen Sonnenaufgang und Abends einen wunderschönen Sonnenuntergang. Die Unterkunft liegt super Zentral direkt am Galata Tower im Beyoğlu Bezirk.

I hate having to reject someone I've already rejected. Rejecting someone is so uncomfortable already. Whether or not you're trying to gently let down someone you actually care about or you're telling this weirdo to his face, that every time he leans in closer, your skin involuntarily shudders, it's not fun.
So when you think you've already done the job once, there's nothing more irritating then having to do it a second time. Maybe you'll want to blame me for the lame excuse I gave him, the first time. But if he understood it well enough to stay away the first time, why does he randomly text or call to ask again a few months later. The answer is still no. If it's not, I'll call you. I know I said I was too busy last month to get together, and this is a different month, but in addition to seeing I was too busy, I added that I would get in touch with you when things ease up. And guess what? I haven't gotten in touch with you for a reason. Why are you back asking how I am? And that after my non-response did you really need to inquire as to how I was celebrating Martin Luther King Day?
There was this one guy I met at a First Fridays on Abbot Kinney who was just the worst – he literally tried to argue me into saying yes to a date. He thought because he was Jewish and I was Jewish we had some special connection. His breath reeked, and he had food on his shirt, and he was a close talker - he was so offensively creepy that every time he brought his face closer, he made my spine tingle. My girlfriends and I had just ordered a bottle of wine. He asked if he could join us and I gave the most reluctant I guess so I could. His socially-challenged questions were immediately off putting and we gave one word questions hoping he'd leave. He didn't. He helped himself to a glass of our wine. HE DIDN'T OFFER TO PAY! And then he followed us out as we left trying to ask more questions.
During this time he had asked for my number and I had acquiesced and gave it to him – just out of pure desperation that he might leave us alone if I did. We finally shook him by saying we were going to a private party where strangers weren't allowed. Anyway, this is all to say that when I returned his voicemail by texting him to say I was too busy to get together in the foreseeable future, I thought that would be the end of it. Wrong!
He called again, left messages, texted almost daily. There was no civility left in me. After saying no three different ways, I stopped responding. He continued to call – from different numbers which was a clear attempt to trick me into answering. Anyway, after weeks of this harassment, he finally stopped contacting me. I erased his do not answer number from my phone and forgot about it.
Then about a month later, he called and unfortunately I didn't recognize the number and I answered. Although he recited his name for me twice, I had forgotten about him and had no idea whom it was, so I carried on a brief conversation until I could finally place him.
I immediately realized who he was when he informed me he was calling to invite me to some black tie Holocaust Fundraising Gala (how fun!). I was in the car on my way to a concert so I was really distracted, caught off guard, and without a surefire excuse on the ready. I was racking my brain, but nothing came out but the lamest excuse in everyone's excuse repertoire – too busy.
No I can't go with you to this gala cause I'm busy but thank you for offering to buy me a dress (and assuming I would need you to buy me one).
Well, what about next weekend then? Or during the week?
No, things won't ease up for me for a long long time. Actually, things will probably never ease up for me.
I can come to you for coffee? Or breakfast? Oh, do you have Skype?
Look, I'm not interested in you. I don't ever want to talk to you again!
I cringed as I said it. I felt bad for him, but I didn't regret it. I should have just said, I'm seeing someone instead, but I guess he had harassed me to the point of forgetting my manners. He was shocked. Truly shocked and said something like well it's your loss.
Yes! I said. Yes it is, my loss! He finally gets it, I think to myself. No. He tells me it's not possible for me to be uninterested in him, because I don't know anything about him yet. He is sure that if I give him one date, I will see how much we have in common. He tells me he felt a special connection with me.
NO! No you didn't, I tell him. He goes on, explaining that I'll be missing out on possibly the best thing to ever happen to me. And then he goes further than anyone should ever go. He says I would be denying what God wanted for us. He says people like me will end up alone.
I'm ok with that, I tell him.
This is your loss, he repeats and finally hangs up the phone. The experience was so unnerving, I find myself going over what he just said to me - his threat that I will end up alone.
But if not being alone means ending up with someone like him, I can't tell you how good alone is looking.

What is /knitting needle caddy
Hi,I am searching for a pattern for a sewn fabric knitting needle holder. It is a big flat fabric circle with layers of circles sewn on top, the stitching forms seams (picture spokes on a wheel) and circular needles and perhaps regular needles are stored in the pockets formed between the spokes.
I am not sure I have described this well. I think I have seen silverware caddies that are similar. I don't knit and so I am not sure if there are special measurements for the various pockets. Does anyone know if this is a published pattern? I would like to make one for my avid knitting friend. Any suggestions.
I haven't seen one in the shape of a circle or wheel which you describe very well. Here are some of the more common patterns for straight needle organizers. There are also patterns for circular needle holders (either hanging free or within pouches, notebook style) if you Google circular knitting needle cases.
TipNut.com has a sewing pattern for a knitting needle cacddy along with a few other choices. Just look under the Knitting Category.

|A baby has been born in Columbia who weighs 13 pounds and two ounces (about six kilograms) - the average size of a four-month-old.
The birth took place in the Northern town of Baranquilla, and the girl was delivered by Caesarean section, reports the Associated Press.
Doctors at the hospital were amazed at the size of the baby, named Angelly Arnache, who measured over 22 inches (57 centimetres).
"She is the largest baby we have ever had in the clinic's history," said Mercedes Pacheco, a paediatrician.

Because of Winn-Dixie
by Kate DiCamillo
Analysis: What's Up With the Ending?
This is one of those awesome, happy, everything-comes-together endings. It makes you want to hug your parents and text your friends to tell them they're the best parts of your life. Not kidding.
In the last paragraph, while Otis plays guitar and Opal's new friends gather to sing, Opal sucks on a sweet and sad Littmus Lozenge which feels "like a flower blooming" in her mouth, and she listens carefully to memorize the words of the song being sung (26.33). It's basically a Norman Rockwell.
So what does it mean?
Otis Plays Guitar
Otis was shy, backward and lonely. Now he's opened up enough to share his musical gift with others. Also, each new friend took a little of Opal's emptiness away. Together, they help each other heal and find strength.
Opal Sucks on a Lozenge
By the end of the novel, Opal has learned how to survive her sorrows, and the key to her survival is not a package of medicine floating down from the arena sky. It's finding sweetness in love and friendship with others.
She's also learned about the hidden sorrows that people face. This helps her love them despite their mistakes. In the last scene, everyone finds sweetness together as rain falls outside.
Opal Memorizes the Lyrics
Here's a little shout out to when the preacher told Opal ten things about her mama. After he did, she went to her room and memorized them so she'd never forget them. She wanted to burn 'em into her brain so she could "hold on to her tight and not let her get away […] again" (4.22).
While Opal realizes it's okay to let go, she seeks to hold on to this moment of joy, love, and friendship so it will never get away from her again.

Post subject: Am I being a prude?
Poppy, who is 4 and has just started school, came home yesterday singing 'I'm sexy and I know it' complete with full-on bum-wiggling! Now this is quite funny to watch, but not what I really want her singing at this age. When I asked her where she had learnt it she said they had done it in 'wake and shake' which is a waking up, exercise thing they do in school each morning. I know she is bound to pick up songs like this from other children etc, but I personally don't think it's appropriate for them to be teaching this to them in school. I feel it's kind of saying it's the right thing to be doing and although if she had picked it up from someone else I can tell her it's not what I want her doing, it's hard to say this when she's learnt it from the teachers!
I went to see her teacher today and very politely and calmly said I wasn't very happy and didn't think it was very appropriate. Her response was to be narky with me and say 'well we won't play it then, but it is their favourite song!'
Am I being unreasonable? I know I can't hide her away from this sort of thing forever and don't expect to, but it's one thing picking it up from older children and quite another for her teachers to be teaching it to her. I don't want to be an awkward parent. I'm a teacher myself so know they do pick these things up. But should a 4 year old be being taught to sing and dance to this?
Sorry for the essay, just want to know if I'm being unreasonable, as was made to feel like I was being a complete prude by the teacher.

Post subject:
I wouldn't say you were being unreasonable, no, as anything to do with your child is your right however I think the only reason you don't like it is because of what the words create in your mind. The kids don't understand.
If you think of most nursery rhymes and childrens songs, if you really think about them, are about death and drugs. Look at Pinnocio, in the film he gets high as does Dumbo! Kids don't see it that way. There's is also the story book of the woman that swallowed a fly (perhaps she'll die) oh dear!
There are a lot worse songs on the radio all the time in the background that you probably don't notice, they said b**ch on a 6 o'clock Simpsons the other day and they say cr*p in Eastenders. I was defo shocked at the Simpsons though!
I must admit that ever since the song has been out I've always sang the 'wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah' bit for max while holding him and wiggling his bottom and he laughs his head off.

i dont think i would like the school teaching that sort of music, at her age it should be nursery rhymes.
although as the others have said kids pick up all things. Sams latest is the 'E-lites' cigarette advert off the radio, she keeps singing 'smoking E-Lites'

I don't even have a child and I know already I wouldn't be keen on them learning that song at nursery .
Though I can understand why it's the kids favourite song as its catchy .
Couple of weeks ago I was driving along the motorway at 3am singing away to it , even given it a little wiggle
Though I'm going to turn this round , if I was in the car and it came on I don't think I would turn it over if I had a child , so I don't think it's that bad , just don't think it should be encouraged
Least I have my fur babies x

cripes!!! I would never have done that song for wake n shake! we used to do 'reach up for the stars' (Steps) and a load of action songs from SingUp etc - but nothing like that... I'd have said it was very inappropriate and I'm not surprised you're upset! If the teacher is narky - I'd take it to the head... surely they have to see how they have to use age-appropriate songs for wake n shake... not just any chart song that may have words in that the children oughten know or use! x

Thanks for all the replies, I'm glad I'm not the only one to think it's inappropriate. I do get what people are saying about not turning off the radio if it were on, and I agree, I wouldn't either. I've got nothing against the song itself. I just feel there;s a difference between what chn will hear anyway on the radio etc and being taught it to sing and dance to in school, especially at such a young age.

I think you are completely right. . . .I am shocked that a school would play that song to a group of 4 year olds, that is completely unprofessional
'Ive got passion in my pants and I aint afraid to show it. . . .Im sexy and I know it' . . . . why on earth would you get a group of 4 year olds to sing this? I would have gone to the head teacher and brought up that you thought it was inappropriate.

Post subject:
I can understand why you're upset and i also agree that kids dont understand what they are actually singing. My fave song at that age was Boom boom boom by the Outhere Brothers and if you know that song you'll know its actually very rude lol but i only realised that when i got older and listened to it again lol
But saying that, i am very shocked that a school would choose to do that song. Even though its not overly rude and they dont understand, a school of all places should have thought not to even take a risk with a song like that. And as for the teacher saying her reasoning was that they like it. So what?! I know someone who teaches at a childrens theatre and the kids were asking to do a dance to Flo Rida- Whistle and she was trying to decide if she should as the lyrics were pretty suggestive. So if a simple afterschool club (with older kids than your daughter) were thinking that way, a school should definitely know better.

I am a secondary school teacher and am very careful about what music I play in lessons or around children, I wouldn't play that song to a year 7 group, just incase any parents had an issue with it, so I really wouldn't play it to a group of four year olds. I think its an oversight of the teacher as an individual and I doubt the head teacher would be happy if they knew.
Posted: Wed Oct 10, 2012 2:52 pm

I agree with you Helen, don't think its atall appropriate for that sort of song to be taught to kids. Its one thing letting them sing along to it, but with the dancing too?! There must be many other songs they can use rather than that one, can we not keep our kiddies innocent that bit longer??! I know its not THAT bad, but having worked in a school myself, I wouldn't think its right for the song to be used in schools. Take it to the head if the teacher was narky, she shouldn't have reacted like that X

The Program
A degree in mathematics is one of the best possible means of preparation for post-college years, whether a student intends to work in business or industry, teach, or pursue graduate studies. At CLU, we provide a broad and challenging program designed to develop fundamental skills and prepare students for lifelong learning.
The program features small classes with an emphasis on faculty-student interaction, classroom technology to stimulate learning, computer labs for student exploration and discovery, a focus on interdisciplinary applications, faculty advising to assist students in reaching their academic and career goals, and opportunities for tutoring and being tutored in the Math Tutoring Lab. Students are challenged to explore the many facets of mathematics and its applications through creative and critical thinking.
The faculty encourage students to apply their mathematical knowledge by working in internships and independent projects. Students synthesize and extend their mathematical experiences through participation in the senior capstone course.
Employers in the public and private sectors seek generalists with critical thinking skills who are capable of adapting to a wide variety of situations. Graduates in mathematics are prepared in this manner and can work in many career fields. These include computer science, engineering, actuarial science, education, business, finance and the natural sciences. Along with finding excellent employment opportunities, CLU math majors have also been accepted for graduate studies at top universities throughout the United States.

A crime alert in Lexington after a Mexican grocery store is robbed at gunpoint Saturday night.
It happened around 8:00pm at the "El Rancho Mini Mart" on Burt Road.
Police say two men walked into the store pulled out guns and demanded money. Investigators think they then got away in a red Dodge Stratus. Police say both suspects are hispanic. They were last seen wearing grey hoodies.
