What is appendicitis?
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. Appendicitis is the leading cause of emergency abdominal operations.1
1Spirt MJ. Complicated intra-abdominal infections: a focus on appendicitis and diverticulitis. Postgraduate Medicine. 2010;122(1):39–51.
What is the appendix?
The appendix is a fingerlike pouch attached to the large intestine in the lower right area of the abdomen, the area between the chest and hips. The large intestine is part of the body's gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The movement of muscles in the GI tract, along with the release of hormones and enzymes, helps digest food. The appendix does not appear to have a specific function in the body, and removing it does not seem to affect a person's health.
The inside of the appendix is called the appendiceal lumen. Normally, mucus created by the appendix travels through the appendiceal lumen and empties into the large intestine. The large intestine absorbs water from stool and changes it from a liquid to a solid form.
What causes appendicitis?
An obstruction, or blockage, of the appendiceal lumen causes appendicitis. Mucus backs up in the appendiceal lumen, causing bacteria that normally live inside the appendix to multiply. As a result, the appendix swells and becomes infected. Sources of blockage include
- stool, parasites, or growths that clog the appendiceal lumen
- enlarged lymph tissue in the wall of the appendix, caused by infection in the GI tract or elsewhere in the body
- inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, long-lasting disorders that cause irritation and ulcers in the GI tract
- trauma to the abdomen
An inflamed appendix will likely burst if not removed.
Who gets appendicitis?
Anyone can get appendicitis, although it is more common among people 10 to 30 years old.1
What are the symptoms of appendicitis?
The symptoms of appendicitis are typically easy for a health care provider to diagnose. The most common symptom of appendicitis is abdominal pain.
Abdominal pain with appendicitis usually
- occurs suddenly, often waking a person at night
- occurs before other symptoms
- begins near the belly button and then moves lower and to the right
- is unlike any pain felt before
- gets worse in a matter of hours
- gets worse when moving around, taking deep breaths, coughing, or sneezing
Other symptoms of appendicitis may include
- loss of appetite
- nausea
- vomiting
- constipation or diarrhea
- an inability to pass gas
- a low-grade fever that follows other symptoms
- abdominal swelling
- the feeling that passing stool will relieve discomfort
Symptoms vary and can mimic the following conditions that cause abdominal pain:
- intestinal obstruction—a partial or total blockage in the intestine that prevents the flow of fluids or solids.
- pelvic inflammatory disease—an infection of the female reproductive organs.
- abdominal adhesions—bands of tissue that form between abdominal tissues and organs. Normally, internal tissues and organs have slippery surfaces that let them shift easily as the body moves. Adhesions cause tissues and organs to stick together.
- constipation—a condition in which a person usually has fewer than three bowel movements in a week. The bowel movements may be painful.
How is appendicitis diagnosed?
A health care provider can diagnose most cases of appendicitis by taking a person's medical history and performing a physical exam.
If a person does not have the usual symptoms, health care providers may use laboratory and imaging tests to confirm appendicitis. These tests also may help diagnose appendicitis in people who cannot adequately describe their symptoms, such as children or people who are mentally impaired.
Medical History
The health care provider will ask specific questions about symptoms and health history. Answers to these questions will help rule out other conditions. The health care provider will want to know
- when the abdominal pain began
- the exact location and severity of the pain
- when other symptoms appeared
- other medical conditions, previous illnesses, and surgical procedures
- whether the person uses medications, alcohol, or illegal drugs
Physical Exam
Details about the person's abdominal pain are key to diagnosing appendicitis. The health care provider will assess the pain by touching or applying pressure to specific areas of the abdomen.
Responses that may indicate appendicitis include
Rovsing's sign. A health care provider tests for Rovsing's sign by applying hand pressure to the lower left side of the abdomen. Pain felt on the lower right side of the abdomen upon the release of pressure on the left side indicates the presence of Rovsing's sign.
Psoas sign. The right psoas muscle runs over the pelvis near the appendix. Flexing this muscle will cause abdominal pain if the appendix is inflamed. A health care provider can check for the psoas sign by applying resistance to the right knee as the patient tries to lift the right thigh while lying down.
Obturator sign. The right obturator muscle also runs near the appendix. A health care provider tests for the obturator sign by asking the patient to lie down with the right leg bent at the knee. Moving the bent knee left and right requires flexing the obturator muscle and will cause abdominal pain if the appendix is inflamed.
Guarding. Guarding occurs when a person subconsciously tenses the abdominal muscles during an exam. Voluntary guarding occurs the moment the health care provider's hand touches the abdomen. Involuntary guarding occurs before the health care provider actually makes contact and is a sign the appendix is inflamed.
- Rebound tenderness. A health care provider tests for rebound tenderness by applying hand pressure to a person's lower right abdomen and then letting go. Pain felt upon the release of the pressure indicates rebound tenderness and is a sign the appendix is inflamed. A person may also experience rebound tenderness as pain when the abdomen is jarred—for example, when a person bumps into something or goes over a bump in a car.
Women of childbearing age may be asked to undergo a pelvic exam to rule out gynecological conditions, which sometimes cause abdominal pain similar to appendicitis.
The health care provider also may examine the rectum, which can be tender from appendicitis.
Laboratory Tests
Laboratory tests can help confirm the diagnosis of appendicitis or find other causes of abdominal pain.
- Blood tests. A blood test involves drawing a person's blood at a health care provider's office or a commercial facility and sending the sample to a laboratory for analysis. Blood tests can show signs of infection, such as a high white blood cell count. Blood tests also may show dehydration or fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Electrolytes are chemicals in the body fluids, including sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride.
- Urinalysis. Urinalysis is testing of a urine sample. The urine sample is collected in a special container in a health care provider's office, a commercial facility, or a hospital and can be tested in the same location or sent to a laboratory for analysis. Urinalysis is used to rule out a urinary tract infection or a kidney stone.
- Pregnancy test. Health care providers also may order a pregnancy test for women, which can be done through a blood or urine test.
Imaging Tests
Imaging tests can confirm the diagnosis of appendicitis or find other causes of abdominal pain.
- Abdominal ultrasound. Ultrasound uses a device, called a transducer, that bounces safe, painless sound waves off organs to create an image of their structure. The transducer can be moved to different angles to make it possible to examine different organs. In abdominal ultrasound, the health care provider applies gel to the patient's abdomen and moves a hand-held transducer over the skin. The gel allows the transducer to glide easily, and it improves the transmission of the signals. The procedure is performed in a health care provider's office, an outpatient center, or a hospital by a specially trained technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist—a doctor who specializes in medical imaging; anesthesia is not needed. Abdominal ultrasound creates images of the appendix and can show signs of inflammation, a burst appendix, a blockage in the appendiceal lumen, and other sources of abdominal pain. Ultrasound is the first imaging test performed for suspected appendicitis in infants, children, young adults, and pregnant women.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI machines use radio waves and magnets to produce detailed pictures of the body's internal organs and soft tissues without using x rays. The procedure is performed in an outpatient center or a hospital by a specially trained technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist. Anesthesia is not needed, though children and people with a fear of confined spaces may receive light sedation, taken by mouth. An MRI may include the injection of special dye, called contrast medium. With most MRI machines, the person lies on a table that slides into a tunnel-shaped device that may be open ended or closed at one end; some machines are designed to allow the person to lie in a more open space. An MRI can show signs of inflammation, a burst appendix, a blockage in the appendiceal lumen, and other sources of abdominal pain. An MRI used to diagnose appendicitis and other sources of abdominal pain is a safe, reliable alternative to a computerized tomography (CT) scan.2
- CT scan. CT scans use a combination of x rays and computer technology to create three-dimensional (3-D) images. For a CT scan, the person may be given a solution to drink and an injection of contrast medium. CT scans require the person to lie on a table that slides into a tunnel-shaped device where the x rays are taken. The procedure is performed in an outpatient center or a hospital by an x-ray technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist; anesthesia is not needed. Children may be given a sedative to help them fall asleep for the test. A CT scan of the abdomen can show signs of inflammation, such as an enlarged appendix or an abscess—a pus-filled mass that results from the body's attempt to keep an infection from spreading—and other sources of abdominal pain, such as a burst appendix and a blockage in the appendiceal lumen. Women of childbearing age should have a pregnancy test before undergoing a CT scan. The radiation used in CT scans can be harmful to a developing fetus.

How is appendicitis treated?
Appendicitis is typically treated with surgery to remove the appendix. The surgery is performed in a hospital; general anesthesia is needed. If appendicitis is suspected, especially in patients who have persistent abdominal pain and fever, or signs of a burst appendix and infection, a health care provider will often suggest surgery without conducting diagnostic testing. Prompt surgery decreases the chance that the appendix will burst.
Surgery to remove the appendix is called an appendectomy. A surgeon performs the surgery using one of the following methods:
- Laparotomy. Laparotomy removes the appendix through a single incision in the lower right area of the abdomen.
- Laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery uses several smaller incisions and special surgical tools fed through the incisions to remove the appendix. Laparoscopic surgery leads to fewer complications, such as hospital-related infections, and has a shorter recovery time.
With adequate care, most people recover from appendicitis and do not need to make changes to diet, exercise, or lifestyle. Surgeons recommend limiting physical activity for the first 10 to 14 days after a laparotomy and for the first 3 to 5 days after laparoscopic surgery.
What are the complications and treatment of a burst appendix?
A burst appendix spreads infection throughout the abdomen—a potentially dangerous condition called peritonitis. A person with peritonitis may be extremely ill and have nausea, vomiting, fever, and severe abdominal tenderness. This condition requires immediate surgery through laparotomy to clean the abdominal cavity and remove the appendix. Without prompt treatment, peritonitis can cause death.
Sometimes an abscess forms around a burst appendix—called an appendiceal abscess. A surgeon may drain the pus from the abscess during surgery or, more commonly, before surgery. To drain an abscess, a tube is placed in the abscess through the abdominal wall. The drainage tube is left in place for about 2 weeks while antibiotics are given to treat infection. Six to 8 weeks later, when infection and inflammation are under control, surgeons operate to remove what remains of the burst appendix.
What if the surgeon finds a normal appendix?
Occasionally, a surgeon finds a normal appendix. In this case, many surgeons will remove it to eliminate the future possibility of appendicitis. Occasionally, surgeons find a different problem, which may also be corrected during surgery.
Can appendicitis be treated without surgery?
Nonsurgical treatment may be used if surgery is not available, a person is not well enough to undergo surgery, or the diagnosis is unclear. Nonsurgical treatment includes antibiotics to treat infection.
What should people do if they think they have appendicitis?
Appendicitis is a medical emergency that requires immediate care. People who think they have appendicitis should see a health care provider or go to the emergency room right away. Swift diagnosis and treatment reduce the chances the appendix will burst and improve recovery time.
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition
Researchers have not found that eating, diet, and nutrition play a role in causing or preventing appendicitis. If a health care provider prescribes nonsurgical treatment for a person with appendicitis, the person will be asked to follow a liquid or soft diet until the infection subsides. A soft diet is low in fiber and is easily digested in the GI tract. A soft diet includes foods such as milk, fruit juices, eggs, puddings, strained soups, rice, ground meats, fish, and mashed, boiled, or baked potatoes. People can talk with their health care provider to discuss dietary changes.

Students paint T-shirts to benefit Sudan school
SALISBURY — This weekend, local students are inviting their community to paint T-shirts to raise global awareness and help build a school in South Sudan.
Salisbury High School will host an Any1Can Painting Party on Saturday at 2 p.m. Students and community members who attend will learn about seven global issues and choose one that they find particularly meaningful.
Each person then will receive a white T-shirt to hand-paint with personal expressions of interest and concern. Admission is $10.
Tickets to the painting party can be purchased online through www.any1canproject.org or the members of the Salisbury High School Heritage Club. Sean Hunter, the club advisor, also can provide tickets at the high school.
Members of the Heritage Club have begun selling pre-printed Any1Can T-shirts to students, parents and the community as a fundraiser.
The school hopes to raise $10,000 through donations and community support, T-shirt sales and attendance at the painting party. Proceeds are designated for school building and clean water through the "Raising South Sudan" project of Charlotte-based nonprofit Mothering Across Continents.
"Students love T-shirts, and they love using T-shirts to communicate powerful messages," said Patricia Shafer, a representative with Any1Can and Mothering Across Continents. "We said, 'Wow, what if different students created different T-shirts with different messages, and we could leverage the power of the shirts collectively?'"
Salisbury High is one of 16 schools acting as leaders in the Any1Can Project, a collective effort to communicate that anyone can make a difference in the world.
The Heritage Club will oversee the project in Salisbury, building on the international service efforts of several student groups in the 2011-12 school year.
Last year, Salisbury High School student Emma Labovitz held a benefit pasta dinner that raised more than $3,000 toward building a school in Sudan. This year, money raised will help build a second school in the country, where some areas have been devastated by civil war.
Shafer said she hopes the collective efforts of many students this year will make an even bigger difference.
"One of the things we've learned is that students learn a lot if they can work collectively, and they learn about having an impact," Shafer said.
Those who attend the painting party won't actually wear the shirts they make, Shafer said. Instead, they will be incorporated into a large display at the Sensoria arts and literacy festival at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte.
Each day will feature one of the seven focus issues — education and literacy, water and infrastructure, hunger and nutrition, poverty and economy, peace and conflict resolution, social attitudes and prejudice and environment and sustainability.
"It actually becomes an inspiration for community groups," Shafer said. "It's a fund raiser, yes, but it's also a symbol of students inspiring us all."
After the Charlotte event in April, some of the shirts created in Salisbury likely will be returned to become part of a local display, she said.
During an all-day assembly in February, students learned about the impact of seven global issues through hands-on experiences and activities.
Salisbury High School's principal applied for and received a grant for the Heritage Club to do a three-day diversity and cultural awareness training event, Shafer said. The effort soon grew into an anti-bullying and anti-discrimination club, which is now sponsoring this Saturday's event.
Shafer said the students also are reaching out to local businesses and civic groups to sponsor the event and provide matching funds.
"The impact of the school is the impact of the community," she said.

It even has "Greetings From The Theater Management" trailers made for movie theatres. The main feature is the unforgettable (even if you try) 1964 feature film, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Kids will love it! Instead of watching the same old Christmas movies on TV, hustle the whole clan down to your local theater for a delightful afternoon or evening of new Christmas memories.

Cinema meets horror series
Filmed in Chile, ZOMBIE DAWN contemplates the aftermath of a mysterious mining accident that has unleashed an unspeakable horror, creating a zombie horde with an appetite for human flesh! The only solution was to seal off the infected decimated areas from the rest of the country and its remaining, living population. Now 15 years later, the tattered remains of the government and the supposedly at-fault mining corporation commit themselves to finding out what may have happened at the mining complex to cause the epidemic.
The award-winning sequel to cult hit Slime City takes place seven years in the future, after a dirty bomb has decimated New York City's financial district and reduced midtown to a post apocalyptic nightmare.

It sparks an epic battle between desperate mercenaries and mutant cannibals in what's left of NY City. Slime flies when you're having fun!
A train pulls into the station and a hobo (Rutger Hauer, BLADERUNNER) jumps from the freight car hoping for a fresh start in a new city. Instead, he finds himself trapped in urban hell with only one way to make a difference – a shotgun in his hand and two shells in its chamber. An instant grind house classic, this over-the-top homage to 70's exploitation films really outdoes them all.
A mad scientist. A decapitated fiancé. A murder. The 1962 science-fiction/horror 'crime against good taste' is the story of the lengths a man will go through for the woman he loves – too bad he doesn't know she's got some ideas of her own! She may have lost her body, but she hasn't lost her evil mind!
All the right stuff for midnight madness: sexy girls, a rockin' soundtrack, a gross monster and lots of blood! Three gorgeous but deadly hired killers, Beretta, Blondie and Snowball, hole up in a small beachside community to keep a low profile. But this town has a dark secret; a secret with tentacles.

IFN and FRA Productions in Paris (http://www.fraprod.com) have agreed to terms making Opéra Comique's acclaimed production of Carmen and Teatro Real Madrid's 'perfect' production of Katia Kabanova available for worldwide theatrical presentations.
Carmen makes a triumphant return to the theater of its birthplace, the opulent, newly renovated Opéra Comique in Paris. Operagoers are often surprised to learn that Bizet's "Carmen" is an opéra comique. The young Spanish soldier's story of his fatal attraction to a charismatic gypsy woman is hardly comic. Yet Bizet's original linking of musical numbers by spoken dialogue rather than sung recitatives define Carmen clearly as an opéra comique. The opera premiered as such in 1875 at Paris' Opéra Comique, the building reconstructed later following the fire of 1887. The new critically-heralded production of Carmen is staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company's Adrian Noble and ignited by the performances of the spectacular soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci in the title role and an all-star cast. Carmen is given a fresh perspective, distinguished by period-instrument playing by John Eliot Gardiner leading the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique and the use of Richard Langham Smith's new critical edition of the score.
"Ms. Antonacci gives a scorching performance! Irresistible sexuality!" – George Loomis, The NY Times
"Carmen has never sounded more revolutionary, romantic or thrillingly vibrant." – Hugh Canning, The Times of London
Teatro Real Madrid's much-awaited production of Katia Kabanova, featuring Karita Mattila's triumphant performance, is universally acclaimed by Spanish critics as a perfect piece of opera. The production dazzles due to the stunning beauty of Canadian Robert Carsen's theatrical production, his magical direction, a bold and powerfully poetic stage design. All the action takes place on a huge expanse of water, filled with the reflections of extraordinarily graceful images shaped by exquisite lighting. The cast is dominated by the remarkable Finnish soprano Karita Mattila, who plays Janacek's doomed dreamer who finds both excitement and crushing torment in a torrid affair with a stranger. Her performance utterly unforgettable: once experienced, it is difficult to imagine the opera without her. Gifted conductor Jiri Belohlavek provides a musical direction and the Teatro Real Orchestra gives one of its best performances ever.
"The best of best productions! Almost perfect! Perfect performance in every area!" – El Norte de Castilla
"No one can remain indifferent to this Katia, it's amazing!" (ABC)

text: I've recently accidentally dropped and damaged my beloved Panasonic DMC-FZ5, which was about 6 years old. I've always managed to get some lovely shots of the kids with the camera and my only gripe was I could never get good night shots (probably user error rather than anything wrong with the camera). I'm considering the Panasonic DMC-FZ200. Would be interested to know what other bridge cameras are worth considering. Don't have a particular budget in mind; I just want something that I can get really nice photos of the family with. Thanks,

Bioinformatics brings together the fields of life science, computer science and statistics. When biological information is captured on computer, it can be used to produce new computer systems (databases, software, networks and even hardware) and solve problems in a wide variety of areas ranging from biology to medicine.
Bioinformaticians strive to understand medical and biological systems through the creative use of statistics and computer analysis. They may write computer programs to analyse data in a new way, they may apply existing analytical tools to new data sets, they may introduce novel statistical methods into the analysis of data and they may extend existing analytical capabilities to genome-sized data sets. The most recognised application of bioinformatics has been the mapping of the human genome sequence.

My Background in Music:
My inspiration first started when I was seven years old and in second grade. I was pondering if I wanted to dedicate myself to the music field. A substitute piano teacher came in that day and played and my admiration decided me to pursue this ambition for my life work.
I studied and played guitar and auto-harp as a child because of our lack of piano. The guitar was a gift and I played it for years and studied vocal music throughout school.
When I was a young teenager I started playing with a group that I met in a barn and I was thrilled. Many other musicians have been part of my story and as a young person I studied privately with such greats as Michelle Barone Horsefield as well as with with studio musicians such as the Scott Steeleman Studio and John Sayer.
When I was a little older I started studying at the Community Music School at Capital University in Columbus Ohio. I studied with Joan Hall Huet and enjoyed her style and training as well as Steve Caricciola out of Capitol who played organ and taught me composition. Those are only two of the wonderful teachers with whom I trained.
As I was studying, there came an opportunity for me to study and work with the founding member of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. He was Mr. Robert Buchsbaum of Coronet Recording Studio. I came into his studio to make a demo tape and he offered me a job.
He was a fantastic engineer as well as the finest of oboists. We talked music for nine years together. He changed my life in so many countless ways that it would take a book to explain what was brought to me musically at that time.
I continued to play as well as help in the studio wherever and whenever I was needed. I recorded and wrote many original pieces and became copyrighted as well as a member of BMI and ASCAP.
I won the USO talent show in 1985 and was offered the possibility of travel, but I chose to stay in Columbus. I was very blessed to have met and worked with many of the finest professors in the country as they were a part of our Artist-In-Residence Series in the studio.
People such as Rosemary Platt, a professor of Ohio State University, Paul Droste, TBDBITL and retired OSU marching band director. I came to Florida in 2001 and have expanded my musical adventures. I continue to play musically with a few local musicians and write music. I plan to continue to be an active force in the music field as well as teach other people how to be fine musicians.
I have been involved within the music industry for many years. My credits include working almost ten years in a classical recording studio of high reputation. I have trained with many fine teachers and have grown to love the music field more and more. My goal is to expand your knowledge into a lifetime love for the music field and not to frustrate you with seemingly impossible tasks.
Children and Adults:
I love children and have worked many years with all age groups as well as with adults. I have the patience and good disposition necessary to help you enjoy the musical experience.
The methods that I use while on a steady course with an accredited system will also include learning how to enjoy music, write music and read music. I have people who are devoted to music and who will have it in their lives always because of my guidance.
A Personal Note
My skills include many years of teaching and helping students become stronger and better equipped to face the best future that they can possibly reach. I have devoted my life to teaching people to read, study, write and perform well.
I have researched the many students that I have trained and I have developed quick and efficient ways to reach needed goals. I have tutored children in reading, writing and comprehension skills as well as contest preparation and test taking.
I have also been involved in many public speaking and performance opportunities. When I was a young child I had the privilege of training in phonics and in eighth grade was reading at a college level.
When my family moved to another community while I was in the ninth grade I was placed in twelfth grade classes and while I did not have the emotional maturity I did have the intellectual ability. I have been concentrating on teaching music for the last few years and have also addressed a need in raising the skill levels in other subjects.
I have also spent time teaching children to prepare for tests. That led me into training others how to develop study skills to help them in lifelong pursuits. I am a writer and love to use stories with a good solid moral point.
I have devoted myself to helping children and young people as well as adults and have many references and connections to my community. I have been published in syndicated newspapers and I am currently a member of the American College of Musicians.
I have been listed in various Who's Who Publications such as Who's Who for Entrepreneurs and have even been listed in European publications. I believe that I have changed lives for the better and this gives me a strong drive and purpose to equip and strengthen others.
*** Lesson Details ***
I teach online with much success. You can stay in the comfort of your own home and I can teach your student as if I am right there. Give online a try and see if your student continues to grow musically.
My usual goal in a lesson is to promote thought and a natural interest in personal development.
1. I require that the students have the materials needed to get the best possible results I can suggest which ones are the best for the student. Materials are usually of minimal cost unless a student wants to do very serious training.
2. The first few minutes we go over their homework and decide if they need another week or if they are ready to move on. Most of the students can move on so I am going to give that scenario.
3. I then present a concept that will usually take some practice to master.
4. The last section is spent in going over what will be done in their own time.
I'll do my best to make sure that the student understands everything that is being presented to the best of their capacity.
Practice time is age appropriate and I am sensitive to the time constraints that are part of our society today.

Dan was born in Romania in 1981 and started playing violin at the age of 4. He played as a soloist for the first time with a professional orchestra at the age of 10, and won multiple national and international violin competitions while in the National College of Art Ion Vidu. Dan arrived to the United States in 2000 with a full music scholarship. He earned a Bachelor's Degree in Violin Performance, a Professional Violin Performance Certificate and a Master Degree in Music from the prestigious Lynn University Music Conservatory, graduating in 2007.
Dan is now playing violin with some of the best orchestras in Florida: The Florida Orchestra, Sarasota Orchestra, Orlando Philharmonic and Palm Beach Opera.

Have you always wanted to learn how to play an instrument, but never knew where to begin? I can help you learn your instrument, and learn how to play the music that you love whether it be flute, piccolo, violin, viola, or cello. I can help you enjoy music.
Having grown up in a musical family with my mother a professional violinist, I have been exposed to the joys of music since childhood. I learned how to play percussion and string instruments from when I was six years old, and later joined the high school band playing flute. I loved playing flute and piccolo so much that I decided to take this as my career and went to Interlochen Arts Academy where I excelled in my performance. I later went to Prague Conservatory and Czech Budweiss Conservatory and played with the Prague Film Orchestra. Even more recently I have been a teacher for the Flutes and Strings classes at Unison World School in Dehradun, India.
As you can see, having great international exposure to music I can teach you how to become more well-rounded in the beauty that is music.
*** Lesson Details ***
My approach to teaching varies with the age level of each student. With younger students, imitation is often one of the best methods of learning and I prefer the Suzuki method for students up to age 8, especially with strings. For older children and adults, learning music notation and basic music theory for a full understanding of musical language are more important to get them to the level where they can learn any music that they want to play for fun. For students who wish to excel in their school band, a more practical approach with technique specific warm-ups and exercises seems to be the best in general.
*** Studio Equipment ***
The In-Studio lessons are taught in the living room which includes music stands, sheet music, metronome, and seating for parents/students. No pets. Parking in lot.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I will provide metronome, and tools for minor instrument repair. Students should provide their own music stands and sheet music.

I've been teaching professionally for over ten years and have taught over 200 students of all ages and backgrounds how to play. I've played mostly in rock bands but have also done Classical, Jazz, and Country projects. I play a wide selection of styles including Rock, Pop, Country, Ragtime, Folk, Blues, Bluegrass, Metal, Church, Renaissance, Punk, and Funk/Soul. (Everything from Bach to Rock to Bachrach). I graduated from the University of Maryland and Excelsior College.
*** Lesson Details ***
I listen closely to the student's wants and together we develop the approach that will help them reach their goals. I use a wide variety of methods from strict classical methods (such as Noad or Parkening) to simply teaching chords and "tabbing out" their favorite songs. However, I do make sure the student understands underlying theory and becomes a musician not a parrot. Each student has different strengths and weaknesses (cognitive and physical) and different amounts of time to practice. I take all of these into account in developing your individual lesson plan.

My lessons consist of an individual approach to each student, since I know that everybody learns differently I come up with a teaching plan that fits each students individuality.
I began tutoring when I was a freshman in high school. I went through the international baccalaureate program in high school that included honor and AP classes. I have the knowledge and ability to tutor; biology, mathematics (algebra, geometry, pre-algebra, algebra II, pre-calculus, calculus, business calculus) , English, Russian, piano, computer knowledge, and history.
*** Lesson Details ***
My lesson starts with me finding out what the student knows and what he needs help with. I ask a few questions to help me direct the lesson so the student can gain the most knowledge.
Every two weeks I give my students a quiz that I grade. I review the quiz afterwards with the student and focus on the topics that he missed.
Every month I give my students a test that shows there progress in that month. The quiz consists of multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank, and short answer questions.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I have my own transportation.

Hi All!
As STP comes to a close for 2008, we have to ask... what's next?
Saturday, Sept 13 is FLAGS ON THE 48! For those of you who haven't heard about it, it's a memorial hike to commemorate 9/11. It happens every year on the Saturday closest to 9/11.
Individuals or teams carry US flags to the top of all 48 high peaks in NH, and they all fly on the summits from about 11am to 2pm. We haven't ever carried the flag, but we come out to support the people who do. We have our "pack-sized" flags that we used for STP. :)
From the web site, it appears that they have someone designated to carry the flag to almost every peak already... Flags On the 48
Once at the top, each person can take as long as they need to pray/reflect/commemorate.
Tim and I will be doing it again this year. If anyone would like to join us, please let us know! We don't even have a preference of summits. We've done Eisenhower and Moosilauke over the past two years for this event. I've always wanted to do Liberty. It seems so fitting, but I think it sees an OVER-ABUNDANCE of hikers on that day.
Here are the links to the last two years...
Eisenhower in 2006
Moosilauke in 2007
We will be hiking either way. Please let us know if you're interested in getting a group together!

Like the wind whistling through a beautiful garden, the swirls and curls of the silverwork on this bracelet add movement and light. Crafted from sterling silver, bracelet features a stunning blue amazonite cabochon with a beaded sterling silver border adorned with substantial and breathtaking silverwork. A great value, this bracelet will be a favorite addition to any collection. Bracelet measures approximately 5-3/4" inside circumference; Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
This collection captures the feeling of spending a day underneath a shady tree beside a tranquil pond. The calming beauty of Peruvian amazonite lies in the sculptural swirls of sterling silver that appear to be dancing along the currents of a summer breeze.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

In the meantime, check out some of our most recent press releases below.
According to a new study conducted by the UK's largest Angel Network, as many as half of UK start-up businesses have tried and subsequently failed to secure substantial financial investment from a traditional source, such as bank loans or by selling shares.
With raising investment online becoming an ever-increasingly popular option for entrepreneurs and investors, researchers at www.AngelsDen.com have conducted a study looking into how many start-ups in the UK are making the most of the funding opportunities available to them.
The team at Angels Den polled a total of 821 adults aged 18 and over for the purposes of the study. Each participant had been the individual behind at least one newly created start-up company within the past two years.
Individuals were initially asked to reveal how they managed to fund the bulk of their ventures, with the majority (58%) revealing that they used a combination of their own savings and some financial aid from family members or friends. A further 19% stated that they managed to successfully secure an approved loan from the bank.
When asked to reveal if they had tried to borrow money from banks in order to fund their start-ups only to be rejected, a total of 59% of participants admitted that this had been the case for them. When asked to reveal all of the reasons why they felt they'd been unsuccessful securing a loan through a bank, the most popular answers emerged as follows:
1. Unrealistic financial predictions/growth plan - (32%)
2. Lack of business experience- (28%)
3. Existing personal debt – (21%)
4. Age- (16%)
5. Poor credit rating- (9%)
When the respondents who'd tried and failed to get a bank loan for their start-up were then asked to specify which category their businesses belonged to, it emerged that the start-ups most frequently turned down for bank loans included those primarily focused on online/technology (14%), food/drink (8%) or health/fitness (7%).
Bill Morrow, Co-Founder and Director at Angels Den commented on the findings: "Unfortunately, it is all too often the case these days that promising start-ups with an excellent service or product to promote fall at the last hurdle, whilst trying to secure traditional investment."
He continued: "Here at Angels Den, we're witnessing a number of start-up businesses turning to angel investors and online crowdfunding in order to secure investment. Not only is it a fantastic way of raising investment, it also gives you the chance to get some experienced and well connected business people on board."
It has been revealed that, while traditional forms of investment focus on the financial offering, two thirds of small business owners are actually seeking business expertise as much as money. Furthermore, over half believe that there is not enough business mentoring available, and a quarter of those who have received funding have been turned away when asking their lender for advice.
Business investments are traditionally perceived as a purely financial gain for the receiving company, but two thirds of small business owners have revealed in a recent survey that they would like to see investment move away from solely financial means to further incorporate mentoring and advice. Over half of those taking part stated they don't think there is enough business mentoring available and, of the respondents who had received some form of investment, a quarter had been turned away when asking their lender for advice.
Angels Den, the investment club and network, conducted the survey in order to find out more about what business owners want from investment and their experiences of seeking and receiving funding. 613 small business owners took part, all of whom had at some enquired about or received outside investment.
Respondents were first asked: "What would the ideal investment package consist of?" to which 76% stated that 'financial investment with mentoring and business advice' was the ideal investment. In comparison, only 12% stated that they were solely looking for financial investment.
All respondents were then asked to identify whether financial gain or advice and mentoring were more of a priority, to which 64% indicated that mentoring is more important than money when seeking investment for their business.
In order to explore this further, the survey then asked all respondents who had received funding if they had ever asked for mentoring or advice from their lender, to which 81% stated that they had. A quarter of those (26%), however, confirmed that they had been turned away without any advice and a further 34% stated that they had received 'minimal or very brief advice and mentoring'.
All respondents were then asked if they felt that there should be more investment packages with appropriate mentoring support, to which 63% stated that there should be more of this type of investment available to businesses.
Bill Morrow, Co-Founder and Director at Angels Den commented on the findings: "It's such a shame that so many business owners feel left out in the cold when it comes to getting the advice and mentoring that they need from time to time. Finding an experienced business person is willing to both give you the money and help you spend it is the difference between a spectacular company and an average one. Also, from the investors side your chances of seeing a return on your investment sky-rocket if you get involved."
He continued: "The power of raising funding through Angels Den, and what sets us apart from our competitors, is that we have over six thousand angel investors with fantastic expertise, support and contacts, meaning the business is much less likely to fail. Offering mentoring is the real difference between investing on paper and investing whole-heartedly. There needs to be avenues there for all types of investors and businesses seeking investment."
Investing in any business involves risks, including illiquidity, lack of dividends, loss of investment and dilution, and it should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Angels Den is targeted exclusively at investors who are sufficiently sophisticated to understand these risks and make their own investment decisions, based on their knowledge, experience and financial capacity. You will only be able to invest via Angels Den once you are registered and deemed suitable for this type of investment.This page has been approved as a financial promotion by Angels Den, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
