GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
There are not enough words to describe Taylor Ranch. Sadly the district replaced a very effective administration with an ineffective principal and asst principal. They have little knowledge of how or what a elementary school should look like. No personality or real regard for parents or children. The entire climate has changed. Worksheets and whole group up the wazoo. Do not send your child!
We love TRS! We came from a local private school, which we were very disappointed in and are so pleased with this school. The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing. They go out of their way to make both the parents and students comfortable. My only complaint is that the after school staff that help organize the parent pick up line are not always patient. They need to understand that you cannot pull away from the curb until your child is buckled in, which for younger children sometimes takes a little longer than they like. Rushing parents out of there before they are ready is a safety hazard.
Taylor Ranch thus far has proven to be outstanding academically. Our daughter is pleased with her teachers there and has grown socially as well as academically at a remarkable rate. Moving from out of state to Florida, we are thankful that we moved into the Taylor Ranch Elementary school district. Thus far we are pleased with Taylor Ranch and most of the staff. The principal is fair and gentle mannered and we have nothing negative to report.
My children attended Garden a few years back, and were extremely unhappy there. I quickly learned that if your child enjoys the school, their work efforts show in a positive way. It is true that TR does little advancement testing, but that's because they offer Differential Learning. I also volunteer there often, and have seen for myself that the teachers will modify their curriculum for those students who are more advanced, including the lower grades, like Kindergarten. Overall, I am very pleased with the communication and encouragement from the teachers and staff, and highly recommend.
Sending my son to Taylor Ranch was a HUGE mistake! They pushed him through the 3rd grade so that they would not look too bad as a school. My son graduated the 3rd grade having not learned a thing the entire school year. Even though it was nothing but C's and D's on his work, he was not held accountable by his teacher. She clearly didn't care. Moved him to Venice Christian School for 4th grade and, let me tell you, it is like night & day! This school wants what is best for my son. It is all about caring! VCS is a parents dream come true. Taylor Ranch is a NIGHTMARE!
***** My daughters have gone to several schools but none as great as Taylor Ranch!
My 4 children attended TRS last year. My oldest was tested and moved to there gift/ advanced program. The teacher is an amazing teacher. My son loved going to her everyday. He excelled very quickly. My other 3 loved there teachers. My youngest loved his kindergarten teacher she is an amazing, caring teacher. My 2, 3rd graders had speech issues. The speech teacher was great with them. Very caring and helpful staff. The principal needs to lighten up a little but over all a great school.
Both my children attended this school and I also volunteered there.
Our daughter is in first grade and so far the quality of education has been top notch! Amazing teachers, both in K and 1st grade!
I sent my child here for one year and one year only. The quality of education there is not up to par, there is not enough one-on-one attention, and the learning pace was extremely slow for my child. No testing was offered for advanced placement, therefore my child was bored most of the school year, and did not want to go to school at all. Send them to Garden!
We had a bad experience with teachers and the principal of TR. If you were lucky to have had a good experience with the school, it is easy to blame the student or his parents for the problems and overlook the general uncourteous behavior of staff.
This is a school you can trust,the teachers are great,my 2 children went to this school they loved it this elementry is the best
In response to the last few reviews-It doesn't suprise me that some people have poor experiences at the same school so many people have awesome experiences with. But let's keep in mind that we as parents only get out of our relationships with the teachers and staff what we put into it. I have two teens and a 2nd grader presently attending TRS and We have had excellent communication and academic success for all three kids. But we treat them with the respect and communication necessary to forge a positive interaction. Unfortunately some parents act no better then their kids attending so I can relate to the ongoing challenges.
My son only attended this school for five months before I pulled him out. I was extremely dissatisfied with the lack of communication from the teacher to administration. My son's teacher was hardly qualified to work with children. The leadership attempted to pacify me and skirted around his incompetencies. I was not ever granted an oportunity to speak to the Principal, including not even a returned phone call. Running on an old 'good' reputation in my opinion.
My 4 children have been in other Florida Schools and this one just seems average to me. 2 attend Taylor Ranch so here's Pros and Cons Pros: The teachers are caring, polite and professional. The secretarial staff are friendly. Parent pick up runs quickly. Overall pleasant atmosphere (and this does mean a lot),the success maker computer programs, Cons: The ESE liason is horribleto work with. Some teachers take a while to call back. But others call back right away. No internet program to check homework or grades.
I have been associated with TRS as a volunteer for the past 10 years. I have been fortunate to work with very high quality and caring teachers in Kindergarten and First grade. I hope to continue to assist in the future. It is truly amazing what these teachers accomplish with 20 students in one class, without a paid aide.
Our boys have attended TRS for 2 years. We have been very pleased! The only thing that disappointed us was that they did not offer band this year for the fifth graders & our son was really looking forward to that. I hope they decide to start that program again. Unfortunately, we have to move out of this area. We will miss TRS tremendously!
I was so happy with TRS and very sad when we had to move to another state. My son started at TRS in kindergarten, he had not gone to preschool as we had moved around too often, so he was a little behind at first, but by the end of the school year he was reading and writing and even doing some small algebra problems. He completed 1st great there and is now reading chapter books. His teacher always kept me informed on his behavior. I feel a pang of sadness when I think that he will not be returning to TRS.
Very good school in general. However, many of the reviews of TRS on this site are outdated as there is a new principal. I never realized how important the school principal was to the spirit and overall atmosphere of a school. The current principal is sweet but ineffectual, and very unresponsive to student and parent needs. This attitude seems to be contagious and will eventually erode the positive elementary school experience that your children deserve.
Florida is known to have the worst schools in the union. I'm here to say, there are great schools in Florida and Taylor Ranch is one of them. My children have attended this school for three years. I have to say, I am very happy they do. I only hope and pray that TRS is not the only first class school school in Florida, or I and a lot of other parents are in big trouble. The point is, you have to care enough and make it your responsibility and sacrifice to find the good schools. I did. The teachers are great, the curriculum is excellent, the principal is wonderful, and every effort is made to ensure your child learns. If you work with the teachers, they'll work with you. It's not only their responsibility, its the parent's too. I drive 30 extra miles/day just so my kids can attend TRS.

Author Kenny Luck: Helping Every Young Man to Be God's Man
- Thursday, June 16, 2005
If there was a 17-year-old who went through this by himself, that's okay because he'd learn some good stuff. But if he went through it with a group of other young men, then that would be even better because then there'd be some dialogue. But then if he went through the content with some young men and there was dialogue and he had an accountability partner going through the module where they called each other every day to check in and see how things were going, then that guy's life will be different. He'll be transformed tremendously.
Laura: Kenny, in closing, would you pray on behalf of young men who may be reading this article right now or for moms or dads who may have sons who are struggling with different issues?
Kenny: Father, I'm reminded of myself in my room when I was 17 and how desperately I wanted to know not only who I was, but who you were, and I cried out to you to both know you and see you. And you met me, and I've never been the same and I found a Father who loves me, gives me advice, shows me the way, gives me a great example and I'm truly grateful.
I know that there are both parents and young men out there who are struggling to know You and experience Your purpose and plan for their lives. And I ask that by the power of Your Holy Spirit that You would reveal to both parents and young men Your purpose for their lives. For fathers to be God's men and to give that away to their sons. For young men to leave childish ways behind to embrace their future as a man to not just pursue fun but to also pursue their faith aggressively, so that the next 30 to 40 years of their life will be different and lived for You.
So I pray that You would strengthen fathers, young men to be God's men and that they would live out that identity through their choices and all their relationships and advance Your Kingdom powerfully in this generation. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Kenny Luck is president and founder of Every Man Ministries and co-author of "Every Young Man, God's Man" and the best-selling "Every Man, God's Man." He is the area leader over men's ministry and a member of the teaching staff of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. He and his wife, Chrissy, have three children and reside in Trabuco Canyon, California.

The Second Annual F.R.E.S.H Book Festival brought authors to the Midtown Cultural and Educational Center on George W. Engram Boulevard in Daytona Beach on Jan. 4-5.
At the event authors shared their experiences while encouraging others to write and publish their work.
"We want to network. Another problem that we have is that our genres are not often published by the big guys. We need to stick together to make sure we get our word out," said Donna Gray-Banks, the event's creator and organizer.
Another goal of the event was to encourage adults to do more reading.
"This was started because literacy is a legacy and we need to read more. Adults need to read more. If, adults don't read their children won't. If, the parents read the kids will be motivated to do so," Ms. Banks said.
This year's event was highlighted by authors Janis F. Kearney and Pastor Riva Tims.
Kearney is the author of Conversations: "William Jefferson Clinton ... from Hope to Harlem," an oral biography centered on Bill Clinton's presidency. She also wrote "Cotton Field of Dreams: A Memoir," a book about her life from humble beginnings.
"I gained experiences that I never imagined. I learned a lot about presidential history, leadership roles within government and how it all works. I got a chance to sit in a front row seat of history. I saw history happen daily and was responsible of writing about it," Ms. Kearney said.
Pastor Tims is the wife of the late Pastor Dr. Zachary Tims and author of "When It Falls Apart: Finding Healing, Joy and Victory".
"Events like this are important. There is an old saying that, 'If you want to hide something from the black community, put it in a book.' We must destroy that cliché. We are successful in writing and we have something to say in writing," said Pastor Tims.
Many authors with local ties also were there, including Judge Hubert Grimes, author of "How To Keep Your Kid From Going to Jail" and Bethune-Cookman University student James Bennett, author of "A Manual: A Guide to Achievement."
"My book is a guide to success, achievement and enlightenment in the urban community. Many times people strive to succeed, but don't have the necessary tools. The Manual gives them the mental aspects of self-reliance to do so. When speaking at schools, I often get a slow stare but I often reach kids because some can relate," Mr. Bennett said.
"My book is from my experiences from the bench working with the juvenile courts for the past 11 years," Judge Grimes said. "In the courts we actually turn around 80 percent of kids. The book aims to work with young people and redirect them to make positive contributions to society. It stresses time-honored principals and common sense that my parents instilled in me. The hope is that we can get kids turned around before they get into trouble.
"I find that a lot of parents aren't equipped," he said. "The children are often distracted with technology, but just need a little time spent on values."
Some other local authors on hand were Dr. Evelyn Bethune, author of "Bethune: Out Of The Darkness Into Freedom;" Michelle Donice, author of "The Other Side of Through;" Dr. Willie Kimmons, author of "A Parenting Guide Book;" and Inez Bracy, author of "Rejuvenate Your Life: 21 Days to Feel like a Woman Again" and "Simple Pleasures."
Local leaders were pleased with the event and what it brought to the community.
"It's an honor for us to have this center host such an event of this magnitude. It offers a great cultural opportunity for our community," City Commissioner Paula Reed said.
City Commissioner Patrick Henry said, "This is a wonderful chance for us to use this center, which is designed not only for athletics, but cultural events.
Ms. Banks and others involved hope to see the event grow in years to come.
"We hope to make it bigger and better in the future and get more young adults involved," she said.
"This is a wonderful occasion. I was also here last year. The event has grown over a year. These events are good for a community. I am hoping that the city is proud of it and it continues to grow and get better," Ms. Kearney said.

Spain – Madrid
Capital and main attraction of the worlds most-visited nation, Madrid is a Spanish feast of fascinating sights and remarkable side-trips. King Phillip II, who moved the government from Toledo Spain to this geographic center of the nation, established Madrid as capital of Spain in 1561, generating it one particular of Europes youngest capitals. Among many highlights we check out Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor, and walk the little lanes.

Hitman: Absolution, PlayStation All-Stars - Shacknews Daily: November 9, 2012
The latest Hitman: Absolution trailer asks if you have the instincts for his job. The "Ultimate Assassin" video shows off many of the skills 47 has at his disposal. Then, PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale wasn't always a fighting game. Before it turned into the four-player fighting game it is today, it was actually an eight player (4v4) capture-the-flag-inspired action game. Finally, Jay-Z is gonna be rollin' in dough as NBA 2K13 tops the charts, beating out formidable competitors from Resident Evil 6 and Pokemon.

Hello, my darlings!
4 comments:
heading over now :)ReplyDelete
Hello Beautiful Ingrid. I ran over and checked out your shop and bought a journal and your original mixed media piece. I have wanted one of your large journals ever since I saw yours in the video on 21 Secrets. Can't wait for them to arrive.ReplyDelete
Congratulations, Ingrid! The shop looks lovely! Wishing you much success! :)ReplyDelete
Ooh your little journal kits that I have been so excited about look amazing! I have some things I have to devote money to right now, but hopefully in the future I will be able to buy one or two of these from you.ReplyDelete
For some reason I still can't do your survey but if you would like to post/email the questions I would happily answer them in some other format. I'd like to help you out as much as I can!
Thank you for the comment you left in my blog recently. It made me so happy to hear, thankyouthankyou, I feel a lot better than I used to, and yes, I think the happiness I feel with myself shines from me on some days.

The little gem that is Trattoria Toscana
Realized it had been awhile since I'd been to Trattoria Toscana so decided to have dinner there last night. So glad we went, the meal was fantastic. Got a half carafe of the house red, which was actually quite good. A highly drinkable chianti at a great price ($13/half carafe, I think). DC had a few glasses of various whites which I didn't really try but he seemed to enjoy. They recently switched to their winter menu, which seemed a little out of place on what felt like a late summer evening, but that's okay. Started with crostini with chicken liver pate. I love chicken liver pate and this was very good, although it seemed a little bolder in flavor than usual, although maybe that's because it was warm and I usually enjoy it more towards room temp. I had fettucine with proscuitto and porcini mushrooms that was outstanding. Perfectly cooked pasta, the earthiness of the porcinis and the saltiness of the proscuitto lightly bound with a little cream. Yum! DC had rigatoni with sausage and mascarpone that was also to die for, the mascarpone added a wonderful dimension. Both dishes were rich, but not overly so. Service was excellent as well. This is something I consider just as much as the food. Nothing can ruin perfectly good food like jaded or indifferent service, which was not the case here. Service throughout the room was genuinely friendly and helpful. The only downside, which isn't their fault, is that parking is a total PITA without a resident sticker (and no, there wasn't a baseball game). This is someplace I need to keep on my radar…
I so love this little place; it always makes me happy to read about other good experiences there.
I only just noticed this a couple of months back, but there's a public parking garage on Queensberry Street between Jersey and Kilmarnock. Queensberry is one-way, so you have to circle around and approach from the Kilmarnock side; it's on the left (north) side of that block. I usually take the #55 bus to get here, or walk from Kenmore Station.
re: MC Slim JB
MC you did a great description of Toscana in your article in the Pheonix this week. But, we may have to stop telling the unworthy about this place. (VBG)
Great article and congrats on scoring a cover story!
re: BostonZest
Thanks for the kind words!
I have sometimes had that very un-Chowish notion: "If I tell everyone about this place, it will become mobbed and I'll never get a table without a two-hour wait again." But I've decided it's better to promote great places I think are overlooked, even if it makes it harder to get in. I've seen too many hidden gems just disappear for lack of crowds, to be replaced by something horrible, e.g., On the Park by Joe V's.
(I'm sure local Hounds could fill a thread with currently successful restaurants that are far inferior to the ones they replaced, but that's not really in keeping with the board's aims.)
I hope the Phoenix piece brings some attention and business to places like Don Ricardo's and O Cantinho that I visit regularly to find the dining room half-empty. They deserve better.
re: MC Slim JB
I think we are all guilty of that notion from time to time (or maybe most of the time), so don't be too hard on yourself. However with Toscana, I think that their location will keep the crowds down somewhat despite their ongoing excellence. For some reason which is difficult to pinpoint, that part of Fenway is no mans land to many people. Even for those who have had consistently great experiences there, it somehow slips the mind. This is a good thing for those who love the food and the fact that they can always get a table. Though the owners and staff deserve to be mobbed...
We always plan a special treat the week we return from our time away in Provincetown. It has to be something so delightful that we'll feel good about being back in the city.
Last week we chose Trattoria Toscana to serve that purpose and it did not disappoint. We began with the mushroom crostini with glasses of Pinot Nero and Primativo. Next we shared an order of gnocchi with Tuscan meat sauce, and then my husband had the eggplant and I had the swordfish. He switched to Chianti and I had the Vernaccia. We finished with tiramisu and espresso. Service was perfect.
We spoke with Chef Kociaj and he confirmed that they have ended lunch in order for him to have more time to shop and prepare things for the dinner service.
Whatever he needs to do to keep the place we love the way we love it is fine with us. We'll just have to convince our friends to dine early if we want to score a table for six.
Some of the best times we have had with food and friends in the past year have been sharing the food here with friends at a table for six. It solves that problem of wanting your favorites and wanting to try something new.
Right now I'm waiting for a cool evening to try the lamb shank on their fall menu.
re: BostonZest
i always thank chowhound for introducing me to this place. other than the parking issue, it has been a consistent pleasure in quality, price, and service. low key, friendly and everything you hope a good neighborhood place will offer.
re: teezeetoo
You can take the #55 Bus from Copley Square or from Dalton Street right to the corner of Jersey and Queensbury. That give you lots of parking opportunities or you can take the orange or green lines to the bus.
From the Back Bay, we walk if it is a nice day, if not we take the bus.
It's also not a bad walk from the Kenmore or Fenway stations on the green line.
We finally made it to Trattoria Toscana on Tuesday, and just loved it. We arrived at about 6:45, and the just a few tables were full. The room is really warm and inviting. We were very warmly greeted and quickly brought menus and very good saltless tuscan bread with olive oil and balsamic. After reading recent posts, I knew I had to try the porcini risotto, which was absolutely fabulous. The highlight of the evening. The depth of mushroom flavor is incredible. We also started with the rigatoni with sausage and mascarpone. Delicious, but I was having a hard time breaking away from the risotto. For mains, we had swordfish with capers and butter and a side of marinated grilled zucchini. Very good, but I was pretty full by that time. My husband had the sliced sirloin with creamy gorgonzola sauce, which was one of the best steaks he's had in ages. The potatoes that came with it were crunchy and creamy, and the side of spinach was huge and tasty. We finished with excellent expresso. Service was very good, and the vibe was really positive in general. It looked like people actually enjoyed what they were doing, from the front of the house to the kitchen. It was a wonderful time, and we'll be back soon.
A note about parking: The garage on Queensberrythat McSlim mentions above is great, but a little confusing. We weren't even sure it was public parking because it is filled with taxis. There are a few spaces, and signs that say you need to pay the attendant at 60 Kilmarnock. I tturns out that the attendent is in the Deaconess garage, in the taxi station. You have to open the door around the side. The atttendant asked us how long we would be, and we said about 1 1/2 hours. Get this: $7! I'm guessing it fills up on weekends. Thanks for the tip, McSlim.
re: mmocpi
Any recent reports on Ristorante Toscano (Beacon Hill)? I'd heard they were making big changes to the menu. I know they had recast one half of the restaurant as a more casual, less costly space a few years back, but it's been a long time since I've been or spoken to anyone else who has. Trattoria Toscana's superior, far cheaper take on Tuscan food kind of gutted its appeal for me.
My daughter was deserved of a celebration meal (pulling up her French grade *considerably*), and she wanted a memorable Italian meal. Recalling the excellent posts here, I suggested Trattoria Toscana, so off we all went. We arrived Sat. night before 6pm, and it was just full. Luckily the hostess suggested adding a third chair to a two-top and we quickly agreed. Plenty of room for us! I had a glass of the house chianti, which I agree is a great value for the quality. We started with the Caprese and the arugula salad. I was concerned because I forgot to ask them to bring the dressing on the side.....I like extremely small amounts of dressing. I was not disappointed, though...the rucola was outstanding...not bitter and perfectly dressed. My daughter downed her Caprese in no time...delicious. We continued with the gnocchi in gorgonzola and walnuts, and the ravioli with pesto. When I originally ordered, I asked if they could use the pesto from the Orecchiette on the ravioli, as it usually comes with a cream/tomato sauce and I'm trying to avoid cream. The waiter said the chef doesn't like to make substitutions, and suggested we simply get the Orecchiette. No go, it has pancetta and we're vegetarians. Could they make the Orchietti without the pancetta? He said he'd see what they could do...well, he brought the ravioli with the pesto. Both dishes were outstanding. The gnocchi were some of the best I've had....light and airy, not at all gummy. And that gorgonzola sauce!!!! Wow! The ravioli were equally perfect, and the pesto was great...the basil almost finely shredded so that you could taste little basil bits, instead of the usual puree. We finished with a cappuccino and the chocolate tartufo. This place will definitely be on our list for special nights!
re: Science Chick
Good for you Science Chick. Glad it met and surpassed your expectations. Sometime on this board, the reviews are so over the top that they lead to some disappointments by first timers. This place is the real deal.
We've loved this place since day one...actually I had lunch there the 3rd day after they opened. They were having AC problems but the food more than made up for any discomfort. Zamir and his wife are wonderful people and he's a talented, humble chef. We've never had a bad meal or experience there. It's bittersweet as word gets out, it will be tougher to get a table. They deserve all the accolades. Gran Gusto comes close but TT is still our favor for Italian cuisine.
re: mousemanb
It's a pretty small restaurant, you had better call and see if you can get a reservation for 9 people otherwise forget about it.
re: bakerboyz
Yeah, I'm 95% certain they don't take reservations. And I think that even if they did, they may be reluctant to take on a table of more than six due to size constraints. And by 6:30 on a Friday they will likely already be very crowded.
re: mousemanb
That's a tall order. They have 16 2 person tables in total and limited space to move them around...especially tough on a Friday for 9. May not be ideal for kids either. They don't take reservations.
re: mousemanb
I saw a large party there (group of 10 or so) on a Tuesday once, but they were fairly empty other than the large group and a couple of other tables. On a Friday even getting a table for 4 can be a while since two 2-tops have to open up within a reasonable period of time of each other. On a weekday, I think it might work for you, but not on a Friday night.
re: MC Slim JB
Thanks to everyone who replied. Yeah, I figured it was a long shot, but I had to inquire. I guess we'll have to just look elsewhere. :(
re: mousemanb
Why not give them a call just to check it out and ask them directly? It is pretty small for a party of 9 on a busy night, but it's worth checking out. It is terrific.
Another similar place you could call would be Carlo's Cucina Italiana in Allston. Also terrific, and several posts on the board if you do a search. You could also check out Gran Gusto in Cambridge, which has a large parking lot out back. I don't find the food quite as good as Carlo's or Trattoria Italiana, with the exception of the superb pizza, but it is still very good and worth visiting.

re: MC Slim JB
Is the mushroom risotto still on the menu? I am having a craving for it, however I will be disapointed if we trek over tonight and they don't have it.
re: Gabatta
Thanks to the suggestions of everyone on this board, I'm going to Trattoria Toscana tomorrow to celebrate my 21st birthday. Last year we went to Giacomo's near Copley Square, which was nice, but so loud you couldn't hear yourself think.
re: jack324
Congratulations on your birthday, as well as your choice! You will love it! Be safe!
re: Gabatta
The risotto was on the menu tonight.
We had another great meal! I think I'm addicted to the spinach and sausage Bruschetteria.
Happy Birthday and thanks to jack234 for the Toscana reminder that got us there tonight.
And thanks to you and your friends for reminding us that it is possible to get back to the tables for six at Toscana that we used to enjoy on Saturday afternoons back when they opened for lunch. If we can get folks there right at 5pm we can still do it!
re: BostonZest
I too miss those Saturday lunches at Trattoria Toscana. Understated and sooooo just right.
re: tbiscaia
They are definitely not doing lunches anymore. I spoke with Zamir regarding this as I used to enjoy heading there during lunch (I work close by).
re: Sal Monella
Sal is correct. A sad loss for us lunch folks but probably a smart move in the long run if it keeps one of our favorite chefs more rested and allows him to have more time for shopping and careful prep and a break from the restaurant.
re: BostonZest
Last time I was in there, I was leaning on Zamir to open a 2nd rest...Davis Sq perhaps? Unfortunately, he didn't take the bait. He's committed to doing all the major cooking himself so running 2 places is out of the question...for now. And like you mentioned, I'm ok with him being rested and churning out great food.
re: Sal Monella
Just got back from La Trattoria Toscana a few hours ago, and yes, I feel it definitely lived up to the hype. The three of us shared mushrooms on bruschetta and a spinach dish as our antipasti, and our mains were eggplant parmigiana, swordfish steak, and a to-die-for plate of thinly sliced beef and arugala salad. For dessert, we all had the chocolate fondant with fresh cream, and that was mind-blowingly delicious. The waitstaff were very attentive, kind and informative. The wine was good - not great, but certainly drinkable. Thanks for the suggestion everyone, we'll definitely be making a return visit in the near future.

- 1 pound cooked turkey, shredded (about 3 cups)
- 3/4 cup store-bought barbecue sauce
- 6 sandwich rolls, split and toasted
- In a large bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, 1/4 cup of the cheese, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Add the celery, scallions, and parsley and toss to combine. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of the cheese.

Nodes and antinodes in stationary waves

Dec21-13, 10:03 AM
Dear Friends,
in my text book it is written that when a stationary wave is formed in a string which is clamped at one end and free at the other end then a node is produced at the clamped end and an Anti-node is produced at the free end.the explanation given is that since at clamped particle can't move so a node is formed(i am also agree with the mechanism of node formation)) and at free end since the particle can move so an anti-node is formed.my doubt is that why anti-node is formed at free end,why can't there be a situation where particle can move but does not achieve the maximum amplitude.i mean why can't there be a situation where particle at free end behaves like in-between node and Anti-node positions.please explain me the whole mechanism.

Hi and welcome to PF.
That's a good question and there are possible answers at various levels. The answer that I like best is as follows.
Firstly, let's just go over how a standing wave is formed. It's basically what happens when a wave in one direction encounters another wave (at the same frequency) from the other direction. The resulting interference gives you a stationary pattern of nodes and antinodes. The travelling wave that is approaching the clamped end cannot couple any energy to the clamp because the clamp is too massive and rigid. All the wave energy has to go somewhere and the only possible place it can go is in a 100% reflected wave, back down the string with a node at the clamp. A wave approaching the free end will actually a small amount of energy into wafting the air up and down. Most of the energy will go back from the end in the form of a reflected wave. But the free end is not, actually, a perfect reflector ; some energy can be lost to the air, so the wave at this point is not actually a perfect antinode.
You are therefore, right about not having a true antinode at the far end - good thinking.
Wind instruments have a hole / horn at the end and there is a massive 'end effect' as the energy delivered as musical sound forces a different actual frequency than would be suggested b y the physical length of the pipe. Quartz crystals, as used in oscillators, are clamped at two points, not quite at the ends, rather than right at the end because of a similar 'end effect'. Also, look at a child's glockenspiel bars, they are also mounted on nodes but there is always an overlap at each end.

We've talked about the Argus II once before back in March, so this will be an update. Seems that a test group of thirty two blind folks got implanted with Argus IIs, got their cameras and set out to see if they could actually see anything. The early results are actually very promising, with many of the recipients now able to see shapes and lights.
One recipient, an optical scientist turned lawyer named , who had been sightless for thirty years prior to his receiving an Argus II system, went from thirty years sightless to being able to make out a door in front of him. Sure, the whole system is pretty low-resolution right now, but that's how these things start out. Got to have a cathode tube system before you can get the 1080p plasma, you know.
The company that makes them, Second Sight Medical Products, is trying to get approval to market the devices, which are slated to cost $100,000 each. Here's the interesting question: will any insurance plan cover this?

Governing the league: opportunism, credible threats and social ties in football competition licensing
AbstractWe examine the comparative effectiveness of three alternative licensing systems in professional football. The three systems' main concern is with the promulgation of responsible financial behaviour among football clubs. To that effect, all three systems rely on entry control and ex ante budget approval rights. However, the three structures also differ, especially with regard to the way in which they seek to impose ex post budgetary discipline. We analyse these differences, using Transaction Cost Economics as our basic frame of reference. Both theoretically and empirically, we demonstrate that the effectiveness of the licensing arrangements depends on the credibility of the punitive measures available to the governing body. We also find evidence to suggest that social ties may partly substitute for formal deterrence and enforcement.

Biking Mt. Haleakala
Getting up at 2 a.m. on vacation sounds crazy, but what's even crazier is waking up at 2 a.m. to bike down a 10,000-foot volcano. At least that's what my friends say. My comeback is: how often do you get to watch the sun rise over a crater, then ride a bike 37 miles down to sea level and only have to pedal twice?
The Haleakala Sunrise Bike Ride was early, but it was also one of the most rewarding endeavors I've ever experienced on vacation. As we headed out in the pitch of night, we were groggy and a bit cold; however, once we arrived at sea level, my adrenaline kicked in. The tour guides mentioned the annual ride to the top of Haleakala, and I knew I was headed for my next challenge. (Apparently, Lance Armstrong climbed it a few times in one day for training.) The ride is officially named Cycle to the Sun (Haleakala means "House of the Sun"), though most locals call it "Psychos to the Sun" (Cycle to the Sun). Either way, climbing straight up for 40 miles is my idea of a vacation.
Am I off my rocker to think of vacations as adventures that take you out of your element? Or should vacation be about relaxing and recharging? You tell me!

Maltese have no undercoat, and have little to no shedding if cared for properly. Like their relatives the Poodle and Bichon Frisé, they are considered to be largely hypoallergenic and many people who are allergic to dogs may not be allergic to the Maltese.
Regular grooming is required to prevent the coats of non-shedding dogs from matting. Many owners will keep their Maltese clipped in a "puppy cut," a one to two inch all over trim that makes the dog resemble a puppy.
Some owners, especially those who show Maltese in the sport of conformation, prefer to wrap the long hair to keep it from matting and breaking off, and then to show the dog with the hair unwrapped combed out to its full length.
Dark staining in the hair around the eyes- known as "tear staining"- can be a problem for Maltese. Tear staining is mostly a function of how much the individual dog's eyes water and the size of the tear ducts. Tear stains can be removed using a fine toothed metal comb that is moistened with lukewarm water by carefully drawing the comb through the snout hair just below the eyes. This maintenance activity must be performed every two or three days, as a layer of sticky goo is quick to redevelop. If the face is kept dry and cleaned daily, the staining can be minimized.
With so many dog breeds to choose from, sometime it's easier to seach based on certain characterisitcs.
There is more to caring for your dog than just feeding it. Find out all you need to know to make sure your pet stays healthy.
A dog's behavior plays a key role in making a great pet. Training your dog makes a happier dog, and you will be happier too.

James works on cloud detection algorithms applied to satellite imagery.
Areas of expertise:
Satellite imagery
Cloud detection algorithms
Radiative transfer
James works primarily with imagery from the Meteosat Second Generation satellites. These geostationary satellites operated by EUMETSAT have been providing high-resolution images over Europe, Africa and the Atlantic every 15 minutes at solar and infrared wavelengths since 2004. The image data contain a wealth of information relating to cloud parameters, surface properties, and atmospheric variables such as temperature and humidity. Various quantitative imagery products derived from the data provide guidance for forecasters and also form inputs to the Met Office's automated nowcasting systems. In addition to imagery products, the satellite observations in areas of clear-sky are assimilated into the Met Office UM, and work is underway to enable assimilation of radiances in cloudy regions. A fundamental pre-processing step for these activities is the accurate identification of cloud-contaminated pixels in the Meteosat imagery. Developing and improving algorithms to carry out this task forms the focus of James's work.
James is also working on improvements to the RTTOV fast radiative transfer model. The capability to simulate short (visible and near-infrared) wavelengths is necessary in order to assimilate satellite radiances at these wavelengths into NWP models. Assimilation of such satellite observations will improve the analysis of aerosol distributions. At present RTTOV can simulate infrared and microwave radiances: James is involved in extending the capabilities of RTTOV to the simulation of visible and near-infrared wavelengths.
James joined the Satellite Applications team in 2007 after obtaining an MSc in Remote Sensing and Image Processing from Edinburgh University. As an undergraduate James studied Maths at Cambridge University.

The Hungry Runner's Perfect Push-up Challenge
This challenge comes courtesy of my trainer, RJ. So you can thank HIM for all of the push-ups you are about to do this week. Here's how it's going to work:
So, either pick two days out of the upcoming week to complete this challenge. OR Follow me on Twitter and do it along with me! Each time I get down to do my 10 push-ups, I'm going to Tweet: "Perfect Push-up Challenge! GO!" Whenever you see a tweet with that phrase, drop and give me 10!
But! The catch is that they have to be perfect push-ups. Back straight. Tummy tucked in. When you're down, your elbows are at a 90 degree angle. Straighten your arms without locking your elbows when you come back up to the top. Repeat perfectly 10 times! Deal? Deal!
Every time you do your 10 push-ups Tweet, "@Hungry_Runner I just did 10 push-ups! #PerfectPushUpChallenge"
If you complete the challenge successfully, by the end of the week you should have 20 of these tweets (10 each on two separate days). When the week is over, I'll enter each of you who completed the challenge into a drawing for a special, mini Hungry Runner prize! (And, if you really want to show off and prove to me what a beast you are, go for more! Take the challenge and dedicate 3 or even 4 days of the week to working on your perfect push-ups. The more times you Tweet about your push-ups, the better the chance you'll have at winning! There's no limit, so step it up!)
Do this, and by the end of the week you'll have amazing gains in your upper-body strength AND perfect push-up form. WOOO!
Who's in?

Pictures of Kristen Stewart with a cigarette dangling from her mouth -- and taking out her garbage (Stars! They're just like us!) have surfaced. The odd thing is that KStew walks around for awhile with the full cig -- and doesn't light it. It just seems to be hanging there like some sort of long white appendage from her sulky mouth. Kristen has a history of smoking, though she said she quit back in November, but she also has another habit she's admitted to: She's orally fixated. All right, people, get your minds of out the gutter, let's see what this is all about.
Months ago, when she was still in the storm of Cheatgate, and things were up and down (so to speak) with her and Robert Pattinson, she told Conan O'Brien that she had quit smoking and that it wasn't difficult for her because she was never addicted to nicotine -- she was addicted to "having something in her mouth."
Yes, a million bad jokes are forming in my brain right now, but I'll refrain from going there. Anyway, KStew told Conan:
I was a bit of a faker, a circumstantial smoker. I just feel like I wasn't addicted to nicotine. I just wanted something in my mouth.
She really didn't just say she wanted something in her mouth and she was a "faker" in the same breath, did she? Yes, she did. Anyway, it looks like that "something" she wanted in her mouth was also a lit cigarette, because a few months later, she was spotted puffing away with some friends.
But this time she was photographed with an unlit cigarette. Did she just need something in her mouth? Granted, you could put anything in your mouth -- and some people do, like wacky adults who use pacifiers to quell their oral fixation -- but if you're a former smoker, a cigarette between your lips can be more comforting than a pacifier.
According to Sigmund Freud, Kristen's oral fixation must mean she either breastfed too much or too little as a baby. It always comes back to mom blaming somehow! (There is no scientific evidence to back up Freud's theory that breastfeeding too much or too little leads to smoking.)
Other oral fixations include people who are obsessive gum chewers, people who bite their nails, and yes, over-indulging in other, ahem, oral practices. So maybe Kristen's oral fixation is a benefit to at least one guy we know.
On the other hand, Stewie may not have an oral fixation at all. She may just be, ya know, a smoker.
Do you have an oral fixation?
Image via Splash News
If she's a smoker, SO WHAT! We no it's not good but people do far worse things. If she's trying to quit, support her.
This picture looks like an old picture of Kristen either while filming The RunAways or After. What are you recycling old pictures and articles..Move On Stir and get a better person to research for articles. Geez!
WOW the writers for this page just get worse and worse. I seriously hope that NO ONE is paying them for this GARBAGE!!

The evolving definition of queer and an accompanying comprehensive theory are gaining momentum in the academic world and through social portals such as blogs, Tumblr, and television. A richer view of growing queer visibility seems to be currently represented in the explosion of queer artwork. Chicago's Sullivan Galleries are currently hosting a dual exhibition of queer work with The Great Refusal: Taking on New Queer Aesthetics and Roger Brown: This Boy's Own Story.
The Great Refusal is separated into four thematically distinct sections of "Bad Values," "Misuse and Dislocation," "Progressive Rituals," and "Restraint and Indulgence," though many of these works bleed into and affect each other spatially and conceptually. David Nasca's Unlimited Intimacy is likely the piece most regarded as spectacle, a human-sized teddy bear in black and gray with a cavity for its mouth. In fact, sexual spectacle is seen in various pieces: Porn Poetry by Barbara DeGenevieve pairs erotic text and images; Gregg Evans' photograph Nick and I Playing Our Afternoon at My Parents recontextualizes a sexual encounter.
The Great Refusal takes aim at defining or categorizing what current queer aesthetics look like and the influence they exert in broader culture. These include tackling race, class, sexuality, and intersectionality in qualifying a dynamic portrayal of queer people and their artistic production. Hannah Rodriguez's Made Men Series examines gender roles by making a collage of images of masculine men of color with flowers or flowing skirts replacing certain features. A performance piece "The Redemption of Ishtar Bukkake" will close the exhibit on November 8, highlighting select themes represented throughout.
The sprawling work of Great Refusal is paired in the gallery with the curated This Boy's Own Story, a retrospective of Chicago artist Roger Brown's paintings and sketchbooks. Brown's work is focused more at the homosexual male and sexual desire stemming from the mass uncloseting directly post-Stonewall. Brown's work takes on historical significance in its frank sexuality and homoeroticism coming out of this time and extending through the AIDS era of the 1980s and early '90s. It underscores the condemnation gay men experienced at the time and attempted to shine a light on how the disease was affecting more populations than the LGBT community at the height of the epidemic. The Plague from 1984 shows prone male-bodied figures lying in the streets of Brown's standard city streets with other shadowed figures looking on from building windows, while Aha! Heterosexuals Fuck Too, made in 1991, puts the responsibility to straight populations who were experiencing growing HIV rates. Brown uses vivid color and fantastical imagery to combine thoughts on religious persecution, private sexual expressions, and public LGBT identity.
The Great Refusal presents older works to pinpoint where the current conception of queer aesthetics began and bridges Brown's practice with other artists producing queer work. The Chicago Leather Archives provides a trio of illustrations from the 1960s by artist Etienne that riff on the aesthetic of pulp-novel covers to depict macho bikers and surfers cavorting. Jeanne Dunning's Puddle photographic series and The Toe-Sucking Video installation may be approaching 20 years, but they reside within the same world of bodily distortion and sexual exploration that the surrounding contemporary work exhibits.
Seen side by side, both exhibitions elevate each other. Brown's work provides historical heft to the contemporary artists, while The Great Refusal constructs a context for Brown's paintings to retain their relevance to queer aesthetics. The wealth of work on display and engagement between works creates an atmosphere of exploration and dialogue rather than strict presentation that invites viewers to find their own access points to the work. And that may just be the ultimate goal of modern queer art.
The Sullivan Galleries are located at 33 South State Street (7th Floor) and are open 11am-6pm Tuesday-Saturday. The exhibitions detailed will be on display through November 10.
Kevin Sparrow is a Chicago writer who is interested in Queerness as both a favorite subject and pastime. His education in movies-writing has proved that he is adept at powering up computers and elementary keyboard use. Sparrow's short stories, poetry and essays have appeared in that order in Harrington Gay Men's Literary Quarterly and LIES/ISLE, as well as on the website Be Yr Own Queero.

Hey again guys,
Another question using IV 2013 and Frames.
When i get some frames and need to use the feature NOTCH, is there a way to put one offset on it ? like we can do using MITER ?
The solution we've found here is in every member that we use NOTCH, we enter in the frame part and then use the feature THICKEN/OFFSET, this wey i can get the standard offset of 3mm that we use here for welding.
Or, if there is other easy way instead of NOTCH, to make one frame get to other with offset.
The image below shows what i mean, i need to get this off set in the frames on Z AXIS.
Thanks very much!
Túlio Barata
Try this:
Thanks man!
Well, a good way to solve it with that answer, better than mine when i get many and many frames...

No Problem
