Create Your Own Tasting Menu! (a.k.a. Opening Night at Chef Michael Mina's XIV on Sunset) [Review] w/ Pics!
(Formatted with All Pictures here:
I first heard about XIV ("Fourteen") a while back, long before it actually opened, thanks to the numerous, informative updates from Eater LA. XIV is a new restaurant collaboration between Chef Michael Mina, SBE, and famous French designer, Philippe Starck. Michael Mina is the award-winning chef and owner of 14 different restaurants across the United States (including Stonehill Tavern in Orange County). His eponymous restaurant in San Francisco was awarded 2 Stars by the Michelin Guide in 2007, and his Michael Mina Bellagio restaurant in Las Vegas was awarded 1 Michelin Star for 2008, amongst numerous other awards for the chef and his various restaurants.
XIV is named as a nod to the chateaus of France during the reign of King Louis XIV which influenced the look and feel of this new restaurant (it also happened to be pure coincidence that this was Mina's 14th restaurant, but they were happy about that other meaning as well, according to XIV's GM).
On the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Crescent Heights, from the exterior it looks like a modern, trendy establishment, but upon entering, you're immediately treated to the opulent (and whimsical) decor by designer Philippe Starck. Sitting at the bar, you can see 17th century-style chandeliers, with the columns and other accessories all brought together to match the feel Philippe Starck was aiming for.
I decide to try one of their Featured Cocktails, a Scottish Mule made of Hendrick's, Cucumber, Fresh Lime, Ginger Beer. The Ginger Beer provides a great base and a natural spicy kick to the drink without overpowering it. It's a tad too sour for my tastes, but not bad.
After being seated, a waitress brings by the menu and explains the "social dining" concept of XIV: Essentially, you are encouraged to create your own Tasting Menu(!), choosing from any number of dishes from the full menu (35 selections tonight), and the kitchen will prepare those selections in a quantity and pacing like a Tasting Menu. At $8 per plate for all items (except 2 specialty items tonight (Wagyu and Caviar dishes)), this is definitely an enticing and interesting idea! I'm excited. (^_^) (Note: The entire table is served the same choices you've selected, which makes sense (and isn't too bad, since normally for a Tasting Menu, you get served whatever the Chef has planned for that evening anyways).)
(Note 2: They also have a really nice "mirror copy" of 35 selections available in a Vegetarian version, so you can create your own flexible Vegetarian Tasting Menu as well.)
XIV is headed by Chef de Cuisine Steven Fretz (listed as "Executive Chef" on his business card), formerly of Mina's Detroit-based Saltwater restaurant, and Chef Michael Mina was overseeing all dishes coming out of the kitchen tonight (he'll be at XIV for at least the opening month).
The decor from the other side of the restaurant is even more enjoyable, with a large open dining room (as if from a mansion) type feel. The lighting is low-key and just right, with a great mood and tone established from the moment I stepped inside.
The first dish that arrived was Dungeness Crab Spring Roll, Avocado, Cumin, Charred Jalapeno, Lime. It was beautifully presented in a silver serving tray, with a satin-finish sheet underneath. The Spring Roll itself was lightly fried, crispy and airy. The Dungeness Crab itself was fine, but lacked the sweetness of freshly-cooked crab. The Avocado dipping sauce was beautifully pureed to a thin, clean consistency. Ultimately, however, it was a tad too salty and the lack of sweetness was slightly disappointing.
XIV doesn't offer any formal wine pairings, but I spoke with Sommelier Chris Lavine about some pairings. For the first few courses, he brought out a 1996 Iron Horse Vineyards Private Label Sparkling Wine (made for Michael Mina's restaurants only). It paired beautifully with the Dungeness Crab and the next course, with an extremely clean taste and light effervescence, with slight floral notes.
The next dish was one of Chef Michael Mina's signature dishes, Michael's Caviar Parfait with American Hackleback Sturgeon Caviar. This was another beautifully presented dish, with a mini-towering "parfait" of a Shallot Potato Cake, layered with Smoked Salmon (smoked in-house at XIV), Creme Fraiche, and topped with the Hackleback Caviar. The plate design was also nice with dots of Dill Oil to enhance the dish.
This was a very good dish, engaging the senses visually and taste-wise. The Smoked Salmon was at first a touch too salty for my tastes, but when eaten with the Creme Fraiche and Dill Oil, and a good bite from the Shallot Potato Cake, it helped to even out the flavors a bit.
The next dish was slightly misleading, named "Bay Scallops Tempura, Cauliflower, Passion Fruit, Almonds" on the menu. But what arrived instead was Seared Mexican Bay Scallops, with a Tapioca Tempura Crumble, and Almond Edamame Gremolata. But thankfully it was probably better this way anyways, and delicious!
The Mexican Bay Scallops were nicely cooked, with a good sear, while still retaining the tenderness and suppleness, but they lacked the amazing freshness that I hoped they would have. In Los Angeles, we are fortunate enough to have access to some of the freshest seafood in the world, and while this isn't Sushi, after having tasted so many ridiculously *great* interpretations of Scallops (e.g., Providence's Scallop Sashimi, or fresh Scallops from Mori-san at Mori Sushi, etc.), one can get a little spoiled and disappointed when the Scallops taste less than stellar.
But the dish was saved by the amazing Almond Edamame Gremolata (with Passion Fruit infusion)! The fragrant nuttiness from the Almond and Edamame combination and the subtle sweetness from the Passion Fruit truly elevated this dish to a level it shouldn't have been able to achieve with the average Bay Scallops used. Delicious! :)
Continuing on, their Pumpkin Dumplings, Stewed Cherries, Brown Butter, Sage, arrived next. This was highly recommended by the server and it turned out to be a tad too sweet for my tastes. The Pumpkin Dumplings were cooked open-ended, like a fancy Shu Mai, and the Pumpkin Puree tasted wonderfully fresh and naturally sweet. The Brown Butter Broth was surprisingly light as well. If you're a pumpkin lover, then this is definitely worth trying. :)
At this point, the Sommelier brought out a 2007 Clendenen Family Sauvignon Blanc. This turned out to be extremely light, with a very clean finish, and it paired nicely with the Pumpkin and next course.
XIV's Black Truffle Risotto, Sweet Corn, Castelmagno Cheese arrived soon after the Pumpkin Dumplings were finished (the pacing was really nice throughout the night). I love simple risottos where one or two ingredients can really take center stage, and after the delicious Truffle Risotto at Valentino, I was curious to see what Michael Mina's kitchen could turn out.
Taking a bite, the first thing that hit me was the sharp, clear sweetness of the Corn. It really dominated this dish (not in a bad way, if you like Corn :), but you could barely taste any of the Black Truffles. It was more like ~95% Corn Risotto than a more serious Black Truffle Risotto. Still it was expertly cooked, and was wonderfully light for a Risotto dish.
The next course was a nice surprise and a bit of a disappointment: Black Cod, Spaghetti Squash, Matsutake Mushrooms, Foie Gras Dashi. The highlight was definitely the Alaskan Black Cod, so buttery and perfectly cooked sous-vide, it was wonderful.
However, for a dish touting Matsutake Mushrooms and Foie Gras Dashi, those two elements turned out to be a real letdown: The Matsutake Mushrooms were from Oregon, and lacked any fragrance in them at all. In addition, the Foie Gras Dashi tasted more like it was a Soy Sauce Dashi, with zero hint of Foie Gras. So in the end, it was a beautifully cooked piece of Black Cod, with some underdeveloped supporting elements that took away from the experience.
At this point, the Sommelier came back and brought out a 2002 Thierry Matrot, Puligny-Montrachet, La Garenne (France). This was a great pairing with our next dish (Jidori), with an extremely smooth mouthfeel while maintaining a good complexity.
Their Jidori Chicken, Mesquite, Cornbread, Wildflower Honey, Spinach was another dish with mixed results: The Jidori Chicken was cooked sous-vide, which resulted in a beautifully moist, tender Chicken Breast; there wasn't a single bite of the Chicken that wasn't just as moist and tender, which was great! :) However, there was a really strong Mesquite-smoked flavor that pervaded each bite, and was really off-putting. Whereas in a BBQ dish, the Mesquite can add flavor, here, with just the naked, simple Chicken Breast, the Mesquite-smoke flavor just overpowered the Jidori completely.
The Cornbread was a twice-cooked Cornbread, with the kitchen cooking it once, then layering it with Pudding, letting it soak in, and then cooking it again. This led to a really moist Cornbread, but there was a slightly odd taste surrounding the dish (just on the slightly crisped exterior).
Fortunately, the Liberty Duck, Confit & Prosciutto, Barley, Shiitake and Tamari made up for the Chicken: This was a dish of shredded Duck Confit, topped with a beautiful sliver of Prosciutto on top of a bed of Barley and Shiitake Mushrooms.
The shredded Duck Confit was absolutely delicious! (^_^) It was so unctuous and mesmerizingly good when combined with the Barley and Shiitake base (sadly, the Shiitake Mushrooms were so much more fragrant and delicious than the previous Matsutake Mushrooms with the Black Cod)! It might've been a touch too salty for my preference, but only a touch. Otherwise, it was excellent! :)
One dish I was looking forward to was their Crispy Pork Belly, Pea Leaves, Orange, Salted Cashew. There's never enough good Pork Belly dishes to go around (^_~), so I was hoping XIV's version would excel.
Ultimately, this turned out to be an Asian interpretation of Pork Belly by Chef Fretz: The Orange-Apricot Glaze on the Pork Belly was a bit too powerful, turning this into a dish that was more reminiscent of Sweet & Sour Pork (a much more refined version, mind you :), than something more sublime (like Craft's amazing version). The Pea Leaves turned out to be perfectly cooked Dah Dou Miao vegetables that one often finds at many Chinese restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley; it was fine, and added to the Asian theme of this dish.
The next wine brought out is a 2005 Vincent Girardin Volnay Vieilles Vignes (Burgundy, France). This was a really nice balanced wine, with a good minerality and earthiness, and a great pairing with the meat courses arriving.
The Saffron-Braised Veal Cheeks, Chickpeas, Zucchini, Cherry Peppers sounded wonderful and intriguing, and was another dish I was looking forward to. :) The Veal Cheeks turned out to be extremely tender, simply beautiful, however the flavor of the Saffron Sauce turned out to be very Gravy-like, as in straightforward "Mash Potatoes & Gravy"-like Gravy. After having so many wonderful interpretations of Beef Cheeks and Veal Cheeks around town, XIV's version is nicely cooked, but lacks the depth of flavor in the sauce to bring this dish to the upper echelon. It's good, but a little too simple.
The next dish is one of two dishes that doesn't fall under the $8 per plate pricing (it's a $35 supplement): Japanese A5 Kobe Rib Cap, Chanterelles, Haricot Verts. Even though they label it as "A5 Kobe," tonight's Grade A5 Wagyu is from Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Still, I'm impressed that they imported in Grade A5 Wagyu and am always excited to try some when I can. (^_~)
The A5 Wagyu is from the Rib Eye Cap, which has me worried, because Wagyu is inherently very fatty, and so is Rib Eye in general. Taking a bite, and my worries were confirmed: This cut of A5 Wagyu is extremely well-marbled, too much so, so that each bite you take results in a lot of (delicious, mouth-watering) fragrant Beef Fat as well as the Wagyu Beef itself. To be fair, it was really delicious, but a slightly leaner cut would've been preferred.
Their California Lamb, Salsify, Medjool Dates, Thyme, Walnuts arrives soon after. Lamb is one of my favorites, so I can't wait to try this out. :) It's nicely cooked, medium-rare, and the Lamb is very tender and moist.
While the Medjool Dates and English Walnuts provided a nice foil to the savory Lamb, sodium levels seemed to creep up again in this dish, with the Lamb tasting mainly of Salt more than anything else, and needing a healthy dab/chunk of the Date / Walnut mixture to help offset it.
The dessert courses began to arrive next, with the White Chocolate Cube, Orange Blossom Cream, Coriander, Pistachio, Sake to start. White Chocolate is one of my favorite sweets, and after hearing good things about Pastry Chef Jordan Kahn's creations, I was looking forward to this dessert especially. :)
The White Chocolate Cube arrives in stunning fashion: A handsome, literal Cube of White Chocolate, with a beautifully contrasting Black Sesame Sauce drizzled around the dish. It looks more like a work of art, rather than a dessert at this point (^_^).
Cracking the outer shell reveals the gorgeous layering work, and the lush Orange Blossom Cream, which blends beautifully with the Coriander Caramel, and the fragrant, nutty Pistachio Jaconade and Pistachio Halva(!) and Roasted Pistachios. The Sake Gelee isn't very apparent, but overall this was a *great* dessert, and one of the highlights of the meal! :)
The final dish of the evening is just as stunning: Bitter Chocolate Cream, Ube, Mozzarella Milk Ice, Elderflower, Violet. Besides the wild and exotic ingredients, Chef Kahn tops this dessert with a sauce made from Pure Silver Flake!
The result is a visually arresting dish that catches your eye the moment it arrives on the table! Beautiful and gorgeous, the Silver Sauce, with the dark Chocolate are perfect color contrasts. Taking a bite and it gets even better: The Mozzarella Ice Cream is completely and utterly delicious! (^_^) I was very surprised but it's so light and airy, and has none of the pungency that cheese normally has. The Chocolate and the Ube was perfect backdrop for the Ice Cream. Wonderful!
For Opening Night, service was good, but a bit over-eager at times (e.g., my cocktail was 80% full, and a busboy swung by to ask if I was done with the drink (this was only after sitting at the table for about 5 minutes from time of arrival); or I had only taken 2 bites out of the Risotto (with about ~75% of the dish still there), and another busboy approached the table to ask if I was done and tried to remove the plate). But besides those slight hiccups, the server was wonderful, the Sommelier had great pairings and suggestions, and it was a great ambiance overall.
As aforementioned, XIV's pricing is $8 per dish, for any dish, except the A5 Wagyu and special Caviar. Furthermore, you can have the Chef choose the dishes for you, and put together a Tasting Menu off of his recommendations, and a further discount is applied: 8 Courses for $55, 11 Courses for $75, or 14 Courses for $95. The total tonight (including cocktails and various wine pairings) was ~$240 per person (including tax and tip), but there were quite a few cocktails and wines sampled tonight, that I would forego next time.
XIV is a great concept: Letting the customer create their own Tasting Menu, choosing whatever combination of dishes they want to. Whether you prefer lighter fare and always wanted a few courses of Salads and fresh Vegetables or Soups, or wanted a few more Desserts in a Tasting Menu, the options are here for your choosing. :) And at fair price $8 per dish, in a beautiful, relaxed setting, you can choose to hop in and sample a few plates before heading out for the evening, or create your own "mini dessert Tasting Menu" after a night on the town (especially with their late night hours). (^_~)
I love the concept and the flexibility it gives the customer. Add to this the fact that Chef Mina and Chef Fretz are hoping to have the menu change *daily*(!) (at least a few new dishes every day), and XIV is shaping up to be a viable destination. My only hope is that they can work out a few kinks in the execution of certain dishes, and elevate some of the more mundane ones into something greater. Hopefully the kitchen can continue to improve in the coming months to provide dishes that match the opulent and lush decor already on display at XIV.

re: exilekiss
Wow, my stomach hurts just reading your blog review.
This place strikes me as exactly the type of restaurant we don't need now--overly fussy, rich, and expensive. I can see it's demise clearly. Are the SBE groupies gonna eat this stuff ?
I am sticking to plain rice....
re: Adsvino
Hi Adsvino,
Agree that there's definitely a "fussy" side to XIV and it attracts some of the Hollywood glamor types, but I thought the concept was great (Create Your Own Tasting Menu), and price-wise ($8 per dish) it's fair. My total cost was due to the wide range of drinks sampled that night (I wanted to see how the sommelier was with various pairings and felt like trying out a bunch of wines / cocktails).
As aforementioned, 8 Courses for $55 isn't bad at all, IMHO, or $11 Courses for $75, etc. Then again, in terms of quality of food, I prefer many of the other Chow Hound faves around town over XIV so far. :)
re: exilekiss
Hi EK,
Agree it's a really cool concept and the pricing is in line. I like Mina. But once you have a bottle of wine or two of the list (which I am guessing contains lots of Burgundies), it is probably more of a special occasion or Saturday nite deal. Could you imagine coming here on a Tuesday--it's gonna be tough to fill it on the weeknights when people are losing their shirts..
re: Adsvino
so don't drink wine...
re: Adsvino
Hi Adsvino,
Yah, totally. If someone enjoys wine / sampling, then it definitely could raise the cost to surpass nicer high-end places like Providence, etc. for cost of a night out.
re: exilekiss
What a great conceptn that would be a great way to have a meal. Another fabulous report from you, I so looked forward to your dining experiences.
re: exilekiss
Not yet, maybe tonight, I am not really in the mood to cook.
re: a_and_w
Hi a_and_w,
Thanks. :) If you end up trying it, definitely report back to see how their kitchen is progressing.
The concept reminds me of defunct Opus free-form tasting menus under Chef Centeno @ $10 / course. Very nice idea, run for a short time, everybody got burnt in the end. I wonder why would it work now at 20% less. An injection of hype courtesy of SBE might help to launch, but still looks non-sustainable. I'd agree with Adsvino on an early demise. Six mo, 1 year horizon max.
re: RicRios
HI RicRios,
Thanks for the info. I never tried out the free-form tasting at Opus. If I may ask, did it get tired after a while? (You were mentioning everybody getting burned in the end; or was it just cost of goods / couldn't make it work?) Thanks.
re: exilekiss
I had the Opus "spontaneous" tasting menu once and I thought it was fantastic and a lot fun. I was disappoointed it stopped as I definitely would have gone back again for it.
re: exilekiss
Too labor intensive, the first one that got burned was JC.
On autopilot the concept never flies.
re: RicRios
Ah I see; that makes total sense. We'll have to see how long Chef Fretz can maintain this concept. Thanks for the info RicRios!
re: RicRios
"Six mo, 1 year horizon max."
Boy was I right, if a little too optimistic: Four (months) was the number.
I sat two tables down from you last night. did you choose your menu or have the kitchen decide? I had the kitchen send out what they liked.
I had:
the konpachi
caviar parfait
beet salad
maine Lobster
Salt & pepper Big Fin squid
Black truffle risotto
Black Cod
Jidori Chicken
Crispy pork Belly
A5 Kobe
Monte Enbro Cheese
Lemongrass Custard
Bitter chocolate Cream
over all I was pleasantly surprised. I've had the Scottish mule at the clock bar in San Fransisco. It's one of favorite cocktails. Drank a bottle Peay Syrah 2006, that complemented the meal nicely, its quite peppery. from your photos it looks like the Wagyu I ate had a different presentation which makes me Curious, but I did like the amount of fat in the beef. I agree with your review of the black cod and the risotto. I would have liked A little more power from both of them.
Good eating
re: Wildthing
Hi Wildthing,
I chose the items instead of having the kitchen choose. There were too many dishes I was interested in and feared that the kitchen might not have chosen them. (^_~)
Thinking back on the menu, I think there might've been a *choice* of two types of A5 Wagyu. I know the one they brought to the table was the "A5 Rib Eye Cap" so perhaps you got the other A5 cut? Overall, I love A5 Wagyu, but I enjoyed my cut at Urasawa (prepared 3 ways) much better than this version (but it was still enjoyable). :)
Thanks for your report back as well (and good to know you also thought the Black Cod and Risotto could've used a bit more punch :).
How was the Maine Lobster and Beet Salad by the way?
re: Wildthing
Oh one other question Wildthing:
Did your server ask you about the supplement for the Chef Mina's signature Caviar Parfait? Thanks. (Sadly she forgot to mention it to me.)
re: exilekiss
Hey elitekiss,
No one spoke to me about a supplement for the Parfait.
The Beet salad was difficult to eat with the single utensil. pieces of the salad kept falling off the little serving tobbogon. I ended up guiltily having to using my fingers to aid in the plate to mouth transfer besides that I thought it was superbly done. the Mache hides the just still crunchy beets from view. the beets packed allot of flavor as well, with traces of vinegar.
I'm a huge shellfish fan and I was particularly looking forward to the lobster with truffles. The lobster was cooked perfectly as was to be expected. the flavor is in stages and comes subtly. First lobster very cleanly then faint hazenut and just when you're about to get upset because there wasn't enough truffle, the flavor begins fanning the back of your taste buds. A powerful hint of it. My dining compatriot didn't enjoy it, but I think it might have been my favorite dish. I thought it pulled off the subtleness that the risotto and cod didn't quite achieve.
here is a link to my photos
re: Wildthing
Hi Wildthing,
Thanks for the detailed breakdown of those two dishes, especially the Lobster. I'm glad to hear that both of those dishes fared better than the other ones we had issue with.
Nice photos as well. :) Nice perspective on some of those shots you took. Certainly if nothing else, XIV gave us some nice plating design / presentation.
re: love2eat
Hi love2eat,
Thanks. :) Please report back on your visit; I'm curious how your visit turns out (and what new dishes you might've tried tonight). Thanks.

Other than differing in origin (Italian (amaretti) and France (Macaron)), what is the difference between these two biscuits?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
According to this article the main difference is that French macaroons are usually sandwiched together and enjoyed alone while amaretti (pre-cursor to French macaroons) are used both as a cookie and often as an ingredient. Both are prepared from almond paste and meringue.
Macron are in my experience much softer and more meringue like than amaretti, which are much more firm with a biscuit like texture.

Sorry, product information is unavailable at this time.
MegaFood is a pioneer in the natural products industry, as the first company to make vitamins from scratch. For 40 years, they have been making wholesome nutritional supplements that deliver the nutrition of farm fresh foods.
Founded in 1973, MegaFood's mission has always been to produce superior whole food supplements for those who care about their health and wellbeing. Over the years they have produced a number of award-winning supplements including Blood Builder, Women Over 40 One Daily, MegaFlora, Kid's One Daily and the Vegan collection.
To make dietary supplements that provide the most authentic nourishment possible, MegaFood first begins by sourcing fruits, vegetables and whole grains from their Farm Fresh Farm Partners throughout the United States and Canada. They work with family-owned farms known for their commitment to growing with care and ethical farming practices. Each season they rigorously examine their freshly harvested foods for quality before sending them through the one-of-kind Slo-Food Process.
The best way to consume essential vitamins and minerals is by eating a variety of fresh, colorful foods—fruits, vegetables and whole grains. MegaFood starts with fresh, ripe-harvested whole foods that provide customers with a broad array of essential vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients, just as nature intended.
But standard manufacturing processes can destroy many of the delicate phytonutrients that play a key role in supporting health. That's why MegaFood partnered with researchers at the University of New Hampshire to develop the unique Slo-Food Process. Just as the name implies, the process is a slower, gentler way of optimizing the potency of a vitamin or mineral within the phytonutrient-rich whole foods chosen.
The foods they use are sourced from farms as close to home as possible and are delivered fresh frozen to the doorstep of their manufacturing facility in Londonderry, NH. Here these foods are cold-milled to help break down indigestible plant fibers and enhance digestibility, natural enzymatic pre-digestion to improve bioavailability and gentle drying to maximize nutrient retention. Heat-free tableting and glass bottles ensure that the foods are as nutrient rich when they reach the customer as they were when they were delivered to us in their fresh, raw form.
MegaFood's supplements get their nourishment from a variety of foods, including fresh carrots for mixed carotenoids, broccoli for folate, whole green cabbage for vitamin K, oranges for vitamin C, organic brown rice for vitamin E, antioxidant-rich fruits like cranberries and blueberries for protective phenolic compounds, and nutritional yeast for B vitamins and minerals.
There are many other vitamins to choose from, but no other whole food supplement company makes their own nutrients, or sources as many fresh foods, as MegaFood does.

Feed Rescued Dogs Waiting For Forever Homes
Roll over image to zoom in
Help Sanctuary Evolución feed and care for rescued dogs waiting for their forever homes!
You can see abandoned animals walking the streets of Yucatán, Mexico every day. Sanctuary Evolución, located in San Lorenzo outside Merida, Yucatán, houses more than 170 abused or abandoned dogs waiting for their forever homes. While at the sanctuary these dogs have a safe haven, including basic medical and preventative care, and food to ensure they don't go to sleep hungry.
Although adoption rates are improving, for every dog that finds a loving home, there are four or more left outside the shelter gates or rescued from the streets. To help stem this tide, the sanctuary also runs free clinics for low income families who otherwise could not afford to have their pets spayed or neutered.
You can help. $15 cares for a shelter dog for a month; $30 cares for two shelter dogs for a month. Thank you for your kindness toward these dogs in need!
How Your Donations Are Helping
December 2012 from Sanctuary Evolución
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for caring. The shelter is run by volunteers, but the need is great and our resources are limited so your support is very much appreciated.
Since 2005, Evolución has been a member of the Consejo Consultivo de Proteccion a la Fauna del Municipio de Merida. This council worked to reform the Law for the Protection of Animals of the Yucatan and at the end of August 2012, the new Regulations for the Protection of Animals of Merida was approved! There is a way to go, but we continue to work with our authorities and other local organizations to achieve our goals.
Here are some of Evolución's dogs at play!
Sanctuary Evolución is a volunteer-run organization working to protect animals from abuse and neglect. While Evolución exists as a dog sanctuary, the organization focuses on educating the public about responsible pet ownership, provides no charge spay/neuter clinics to low income families, and conducts anti-violence and environmental awareness campaigns.

Brea Steinkamp is an Iowa girl, but holds a place for Europe in her heart. Steinkamp, 24, is an English teacher for the Peace Corps in Moldova, a small country in Eastern Europe.
Steinkamp, the daughter of Dean and Dana Steinkamp and sister of Ryan, attended St. Malachy School in Creston for nine years. She is a 2007 Creston High School graduate, and earned her associate degree from Southwestern Community College. She graduated from Northwest Missouri State University with a degree in secondary social sciences, and is certified to teach history, geography, government and sociology.
Steinkamp has been teaching English in Moldova for one year, and has another year left.
"Moldova has a teacher-centered classroom, where the teacher stands in front and lectures to the kids about how to speak English, and by doing exercises out of the text," said Steinkamp. "Very by-the-book."
Because of the teacher-centered classroom, she teaches the local teachers how to make the students the primary focus. Steinkamp and the local teachers will teach together so the students learn vocabulary, text and grammar.
"We try to incorporate as many games and activities to engage the students in hopes that the students learn better English," Steinkamp said.
Steinkamp said her students are the most rewarding part of her experience in Moldova. One story she told involved a seventh-grade student she taught.
"He cannot speak a word of English, and sits in the back where he is overlooked by his primary teacher," Steinkamp said.
One day, the boy was moved to the front of the classroom.
"I am able to speak some Romanian, so he said he liked Harry Potter, and I told him I loved Harry Potter," said Steinkamp. "He told me something in Romanian, but I couldn't understand. ... He wrote what he said down on a piece of paper, but I still didn't understand some of the words."
The boy asked for a dictionary and translated some of the words Steinkamp didn't know into English. The sentence read, "I like Harry Potter's magical broom."
"It may not seem like a lot, but he never took the initiative to speak English. For him to want so badly to say that to get a dictionary was so amazing. He hasn't quite warmed up to me like the other students, so I knew he wouldn't let me high-five him or hug him. So, instead, I did what every sane teacher does: I shot a make-believe spider web out of my hand because he likes Spider Man so much."
"Throughout my life I have had many great influences to push me towards volunteering," Steinkamp said. "St. Malachy was the start of it. Going to a private school, you learn how God wants you to treat people, which I think is important to learn as a child."
In high school, Steinkamp became more involved, something she credits to Galen Zumbach, former agriculture and Future Farmers of America instructor. She was also part of Appalachia Service Project.
Peace Corps
"While at Northwest, I did a short-term study abroad in Eastern Europe," Steinkamp said. "I have always loved to travel, but I knew after visiting Europe that I wanted to do so much more."
During student teaching, Steinkamp applied for teaching jobs. She was 21, and kept thinking, can "I start a job at 21, and work from eight to four, Monday through Friday, every week for the next 40 years?"
"It just didn't seem right to me that I have one life to live, and I was going to do it by working for the rest of my life, and hope that I retire so then I could really do what I wanted," said Steinkamp. "Why wait?"
Her love of volunteering, want to travel, teaching degree and desire to do more with her life led Steinkamp to sign up for the Peace Corps.
"So, I carpe diem-ed. I signed up for the Peace Corps," Steinkamp said. "I have been carpe diem-ing ever since. Granted, it certainly hasn't been easy, but it's been the best challenge of my life. ... My outlook on life has changed so much, but it's an incredible feeling that I can't explain. I am so blessed that Moldova found me."
Moldovan life
Moldova is an Eastern European country wedged between Romania and Ukraine. It was part of the Soviet bloc until the early 1990s, when it gained independence.
Moldova is the poorest country in Europe.
"I live in the central part of Moldova, in a village called Costesti," Steinkamp said. "My village is quite large with 13,000 people, but it's a typical village with a few more paved roads and a couple more stores."
Steinkamp lives with a host family in a two-story tiled house. The house has running water and electricity, but, like nearly every house in the country, it has an outhouse.
"The outhouse isn't bad," Steinkamp said. "My opinion of the not-so-bad outhouse changes in the winter, when I have to dress like I am hiking in the Arctic just to use the bathroom."
Steinkamp said she likes to walk around the village and take photos, or talk to her host mom over a cup of tea. She is able to talk with family and friends on the Internet, and spends time with other volunteers in the capital city of Chisinau.
"Village life is so interesting, so walking around is always an adventure," Steinkamp said. "Plus, Moldova is beautiful, so it never hurts to go for a walk."

BREAKING NEWS: 2 separate crashes involving as many as 100 cars shut Pennsylvania Turnpike. Via @jdkolakowski pic.twitter.com/voQN7T02k3
— PzFeed Top News (@PzFeed) February 14, 2014
Who says that only southerners are having trouble with the terrible and snowy weather that's inundating much of the country? Two crashes on the Pennsylvania Turnpike with nearly 100 cars involved prove that winter driving proficiency is a skill few have.
Roads in the Northeast are a total shit show after the winter storm that pummeled us yesterday and last night. And these major crashes that just shut the Pennsylvania Turnpike are proof of that.
One if the many cluster of accidents shutting down PA Turnpike, EB lanes between Willow Grove and Bensalem pic.twitter.com/qrOmu3laxk

These images show incidents that have totally shut down one of the most major highways in the Northeast state. Roads are still awful out there folks, please take your time and don't drive like a jackass.

BIG SPRING ŌĆö After seeing most of its early five-run lead in FridayŌĆÖs District 4-3A softball game disappear, Sweetwater took advantage of a Big Spring error in the sixth inning to score what proved to be the winning run in a 6-5 triumph.
The victory kept Sweet-water in a second-place tie with Snyder as it improved its district record to 2-1, a game behind Greenwood. Big Spring fell into a fourth-place tie with Monahans ŌĆö which plays Sweetwater here Tuesday ŌĆö at 1-2.
Sweetwater (16-10 overall) led 5-0 after two innings after scoring three runs in the first and two more off Big Spring pitcher Logan Yarbar in the second. But Big Spring used a four-run third to make it a contest, and threatened to either tie or take the lead in three of the last four innings before Sweetwater finally secured a hard-fought win.
The Lady MustangsŌĆÖ final run in the sixth came when Suede Shirley drew a one-out walk, went to second on a ground ball out and scored after Jerren Villa reached on an error. Big Spring then narrowed SweetwaterŌĆÖs lead to 6-5 on a walk, stolen base and RBI single until pitcher Maty Montgomery retired the final two batters in the bottom of the seventh.
Kelsi Crosson and Shirley had RBI singles in the first inning and VillaŌĆÖs ground ball scored the third run.
Megan Holsey, who doubled, scored on an outfield error to make it 4-0 in the second and Morgan Gomez later scored when Shirley reached on a fielderŌĆÖs choice ground ball. Holsey and Shirley both scored twice and Holsey also had a pair of hits. Montgomery, Villa (fourth-inning double) and Keyli Turner also hit safely. On the mound, Montgomery scattered eight hits and struck out four.

Goodbye Mistake by the Lake...hello baseball paradise! After decades of suffering through poor baseball played in the cavernous, cold Cleveland Stadium, fans were blessed with a Camden Yards-style classic when Jacobs Field (now Progressive Field) was opened on April 4, 1994. The launch of the quirky, open-air beauty in the heart of downtown Cleveland coincided with a great new era in Indians baseball, as the team turned around their fortunes immediately and became a World Series contender for the rest of the decade. From the Ontario Street/Carnegie Avenue facade, to the wide Home Plate concourse, to the intricate exterior steel column skeleton, to the asymetrical outfield dimensions, to the packed stands and crowded concourse in the left-field corner, to the bleachers, bullpens, and scoreboard, to the neighboring skyscrapers in the background, this amazing poster features all that is Jacobs Field, from a unique overhead view. Part of photographer Mike Smith's renowned Aerial Views collection, this print deserves a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall of any true Cleveland baseball fan!

North Dakota is one of the 10 states and three Canadian provinces that make up the Central Flyway. Much of North Dakota falls within the U.S. portion of the Prairie Pothole Region making the state a key breeding area and a significant contributor to continental waterfowl populations. In 2005, there were an estimated 4.1 million breeding ducks settled across North Dakota.
Download "Where ND Ducks Go" (PDF)
Mallards, northern pintails, blue-winged teal and gadwall are the primary species of upland nesting waterfowl found within North Dakota. Northern shovelers, green-winged teal, American wigeon and lesser scaup are also found in lesser numbers. When sufficient emergent cover is present in larger prairie pothole wetlands, over-water-nesting canvasbacks, redheads and ruddy ducks can also be found in significant numbers.
North Dakota falls entirely within one of DU's highest priority Initiatives, Grasslands for Tomorrow. Since DU's Great Plains Regional Office opened in 1984, DU has worked with partners to conserve 233,189 acres and expended more than $36 million in the process. Our goal is to restore and perpetually protect vital grassland and wetland habitat complexes across key areas of the Prairie Pothole Region of North Dakota to ensure the state remains one of the most important breeding areas for waterfowl in North America. Your support of DU will help us achieve that goal.

In the late 1890's, a masonry dam was started at the town of Niagara to develop power for a mill designed to make paper from straw. Construction of the dam was abandoned in 1912 after $100,000 had been spent. About this time, large numbers of Chinese workers were brought in to work on a rail line that was to be constructed over the Santiam Pass. This led to the belief by some that Chinese workers built the dam, misinformation that has kept the China Dam legend alive. This attractive and historic site was the first park developed and dedicated by the Marion County Park and Recreation Commission. Niagara Park attracts more travelers than any other Marion County park because of its history, natural scenic beauty, and convenient location.
Thirty-four acres of the park are owned by the State of Oregon and used for park purposes via a 1961 Land Use Permit.

Historic Centre of Puebla
Historic Centre of Puebla
Puebla, which was founded ex nihilo in 1531, is situated about 100 km east of Mexico City, at the foot of the Popocatepetl volcano. It has preserved its great religious structures such as the 16th–17th-century cathedral and fine buildings like the old archbishop's palace, as well as a host of houses with walls covered in tiles (azulejos). The new aesthetic concepts resulting from the fusion of European and American styles were adopted locally and are peculiar to the Baroque district of Puebla.
Centre historique de Puebla
À une centaine de kilomètres à l'est de Mexico, au pied du Popocatepetl, Puebla, fondée ex nihilo en 1531 et devenue une grande ville, a conservé à la fois de grands édifices religieux, comme la cathédrale (XVIe et XVIIe siècles), de superbes palais, dont l'ancien archevêché, et une foule de maisons au revêtement mural d'azulejos. Ces nouvelles manifestations esthétiques, nées de la fusion des styles européen et américain, ont été adoptées localement et sont uniques dans le quartier baroque de Puebla.
الوسط التاريخي في بويبلا
على بُعد 100 كلم تقريبًا من شرق مكسيكو وعند أسفل بوبوكاتيبيتل، تأسَّست بويبلا في العام 1531 وهي لم تكن موجودةً في السابق وصارت مدينة كبيرة. وحافظت هذه المدينة في الوقت نفسه على العمارات الدينية الكبيرة، مثل الكاتدرائية (القرن السادس عشر والقرن السابع عشر) وعلى قصور رائعة من بينها المطرانية وعلى مجموعة من المنازل جدرانها ملبّسة بمربّعات من الخزف المطلي بالميناء والمنقوش. فهذه المظاهر الجمالية التي وُلدت من اندماج الاسلوبَيْن الاوروبي والاميركي، تمّ تبنّيها محليًّا وهي كانت فريدةً في الحي الباروكي في مدينة بويبلا.

Исторический центр города Пуэбла
Город Пуэбла, который был основан в 1531 г. на ранее пустовавшем месте, расположен примерно в 100 км к востоку от Мехико, у подножия вулкана Попокатепетль. Здесь сохранились такие выдающиеся религиозные сооружения как кафедральный собор XVI-XVII вв., прекрасные здания, подобные старому дворцу архиепископа, а также целый ряд жилых домов со стенами, облицованными цветными изразцами – «азулейжос». Новые эстетические концепции, базирующиеся на сочетании европейского и американского стилей, были адаптированы к местным условиям и являются характерными для барочного района Пуэблы.

Ha conservado grandes edificios religiosos, como la catedral que data de los siglos XVI y XVII, palacios magníficos, como el del arzobispado, y un gran número de casas con paredes cubiertas de azulejos. El barrio barroco de la ciudad es único en su género, debido a la adaptación local de los nuevos conceptos estéticos surgidos de la fusión de los estilos arquitectónicos y artísticos de Europa y América.

Historisch centrum van Puebla
De historische stad Puebla – uit het niets gesticht in 1531 – ligt op ongeveer 100 kilometer ten oosten van Mexico Stad, aan de voet van de vulkaan Popocatepetl (een van de hoogste vulkanen in Mexico). De grote religieuze bouwwerken van de stad zijn bewaard gebleven, waaronder de 16e en 17e-eeuwse kathedraal, maar ook mooie gebouwen zoals het oude aartsbisschoppelijk paleis. Verder resteert er een groot aantal huizen met betegelde (azulejos) muren. De nieuwe esthetische concepten – het gevolg van de mengeling van Europese en Amerikaanse stijlen – werden lokaal toegepast en zijn karakteristiek voor de barokke wijk van Puebla.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief Synthesis
The city of Puebla de los Ángeles was founded ex nihilo in 1531, among the boundaries of the indigenous dominions of Tlaxcala, Cholula and Cuauhtinchan, following Spain's regal recommendations to not take possession of indigenous territories. The original city Ciudad de los Angeles was laid out according to a Renaissance urban grid formed by rectangular squares laid out in a northeast-southeast orientation.
The city is situated in the Valley of Cuetlaxcoapan at the foot of one of Mexico's highest volcanoes, known as Popocatepetl. It commands a strategic location on the commercial and cultural trade route betweeen the Port of Veracruz and Mexico City, approximately 100 kilometres to the west, which allowed Puebla to be an important intermediate point and a core part of the Atlantic axle for over two centuries.
The city exercised considerable influence in the 16thcentury and was the recipient of several nobility titles during this century. 1532, it received the "Title of city"(as the city was founded in 1531) and in 1538 the "Coat of arms"; both given by Charles V and signed by his wife, Elizabeth from Portugal. In 1558, it received the appointment as "Noble and Loyal City of Los Angeles" and, in 1576, by means of another Royal decree, it was declared "Very Noble and Very Loyal City of Los Angeles". Many buildings from the 16th and 17th century have survived including the university founded in 1587 as Colegio del Espíritu Santo, major religious structures such as the Cathedral (dating from 1575), and fine buildings like the former archbishop's palace, the location of the Palafox Library established in 1646 and credited with being the first library in the Americas. Many houses are clad in coloured tiles known as azulejos. The use of these tiles illustrates a new aesthetic concept and the fusion of European and American styles particular to the Baroque district of Puebla.
Reform laws in the mid-19th century required the closing of many religious institutions, which impacted the urban landscape. However, this era also saw the rise of high-quality public and private architecture.
Criterion (ii): Puebla's strategic location on a major transportation corridor permitted the exportation of its regional style of Baroque architecture, a fusion of European and indigenous styles, after the 16th century. The urban design of the historic centre based on a Renaissance grid plan has exerted a considerable influence on the creation of colonial cities across the country.
Criterion (iv): As an untouched urban network, the Historic Centre of Puebla is composed of major religious buildings such as the Cathedral, the churches of Santo Domingo, San Francisco, and the Jesuit Church, superb palaces including the old archbishop's palace the location of the Palafox Library, the university, and many houses whose walls are covered with gaily coloured tiles (azulejos).
The Historic Centre of Puebla has retained its integrity primarily through the retention and extension of the original Renaissance grid plan laid out the mid-16th century. It is currently preserved by the protected perimeter or buffer zone around the historic core. Moreover, there are a large number of religious, public and residential buildings illustrating the city's evolution from the 16th to the 19th century.
One of the threats to the property's integrity is its overall deterioration and the lack of regular maintenance of the building stock. The exceptional character of the religious architecture, for the most part, is well preserved and retains a great part of its original design. Because there are many public buildings, they are found in various states of deterioration and restoration. In general, the buildings in the best condition are those still used for their original purpose as administrative, educational and cultural institutions. Furthermore, these buildings often have restoration programmes in place to preserve their historic values. While some of the deterioration to residential buildings has been addressed, this is, for the most part, not adequate. Much of this restoration is the result of municipal programmes.
Additional threats within the historic core have been identified relating to uncontrolled tourism development as well as inappropriate demolitions and development. The region is subject to natural disasters, such as strong earthquakes and floods. Damage occurred during the 1999 earthquake has been largely repaired.
The original urban rectangular grid plan, based on Renaissance design, is still partially visible although due to rapid population growth and industrialization, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish the historic city. During the mid-19th century, the Reform Laws (1857) resulted in major changes in the use of buildings including the closing of many large convents. Regardless, the historic centre still contains many significant religious buildings such as the Cathedral, the churches of San Francisco, Santo Domingo, the Jesuit Church, and the former archbishop's palace.
The construction systems and the handling of materials illustrate the architectural styles through time, the historical events, and the evolution of the city. All these attributes, provide the Historical Centre of Puebla the necessary elements to preserve its 'spirit of the place' safeguarding its cultural authenticity.
Protection and management requirements
Restoration of individual buildings dates from the 1940s when private sector funds were provided for the restoration of the Cathedral. During the middle of the century, the government supported the façade restoration of the Church del Carmen. Since the 1970s, heritage protection and restoration has been carried out in a more organized fashion with additional regulations and government programmes at both the State and local levels. Specific legislation is under the Political Constitution of the United States of Mexico, General Law of Human Settlements, Political Constitution of the State of Puebla, Urban Development Law of the State of Puebla, and municipal Organic Law. The city is protected through the "Law of protection and preservation of typical villages and natural beauty of the State of Puebla".
The Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia (INAH) provides technical assistance for restoration with the assistance of Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes (INBA), the Ministry of Infrastructure of the State of Puebla, the Ministry of Public Work and Urban Development of the City of Puebla and the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. Financing is provided primarily through INAH with federal, state, and municipal funds for specific projects. A revised Plan de Regeneración y/o Redensificación Urbana de la Zona de Monumentos y su entorno Cuidad de Puebla was completed in September 2012. Today, a university consortium has been created with the participation of the main institutions of the State Higher Education which are currently in charge of the performance of updating the Partial Program of the Historical Centre and the realization of the management plan to establish the goal image to be reached in 2031.
Out of the need of having an organization responsible for the rescue, preservation, protection, promotion and diffusion of the Historical Centre, the agency for the Historical Centre and Heritage is in the process of being created.
The Plan de Regeneración y/o Redensificación Urbana de la Zona de Monumentos y su entorno Cuidad de Puebla, whose completion was encouraged by the World Heritage Committee in 2003, has documented strategies to address a number of the concerns related to the preservation of the historic core including the preservation of historic and artistic monuments and sympathetic infill development.
Long Description
In an untouched urban network, the Historic Centre of Puebla comprises major religious buildings such as the Cathedral Santo Domingo and the Jesuit Church, as well as superb palaces such as the host of old houses whose walls are covered in gaily coloured tiles (azulejos). Although 19th-century transformations resulting from the Reform Laws (1857) modified the urban landscape through the closing of many convents, they made it possible for Puebla to be endowed with high-quality public and private architecture.
Puebla and Cholula lie some 100 km east of Mexico City, at the foot of Popocatepetl, one of the highest volcanoes in Mexico. The two cities constitute the same type of colonial city/pre-Hispanic city combination as Oaxaca and Monte Albán further to the south.
The two cities, which are about 12 km apart, are very closely associated with the history of New Spain and Mexico. Cortés reached Cholula during the summer of 1519 and it was there that he ordered one of the bloodiest massacres of the entire conquest, with the number of victims among the population reaching between 3,000 and 6,000.
It was in Puebla on 5 May 1862, that General Zaragoza won the first significant victory over the French expeditionary corps. The city was subsequently renamed Puebla de Zaragoza in memory of this event of national importance.
The cultural heritage of Cholula and Puebla, which is of considerable interest, cannot be reduced to such simple definitions as an archaeological site or a historic centre.
In Cholula the Spanish city was built on the ruins of the temples which were burnt during the massacre of 1519. Legend has it that the Spaniards, by building a church on the site of each temple, founded a total of 365 churches, one for each day of the year. This is clearly an exaggeration, but the church of San Gabriél, which the Franciscan began building in 1549, lies in fact on the site of the Quetzalcoatl Sanctuary, and Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, which was built in the 18th century at the very top of the enormous acropolis-pyramid clearly illustrates an unbroken historical continuity stretching from pre-Hispanic times to the present day.
In Puebla, the urban layout of the 'Ciudad de los Angelos', founded ex nihilo in 1531, has been greatly extended into the Cuetlaxcoapan valley. It is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish the original historic city from the highly industrialized (steelworks, mechanical constructions, canning factories) conurbation of over 1 million inhabitants, and the balance between the new city and the old Indian city has been lost for good. Cholula now appears to be just a western suburb of Puebla and it is bound to merge with the state capital in the medium term, even if the two communities remain district.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

- people in the U.S. have this name View Virginia Garlow on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
From the feminine form of Latin Virginius (more correctly Verginius; compare Virgil), a Roman family name. It was borne by a Roman maiden killed, according to legend, by her own father to spare her the attentions of an importunate suitor. It was not used as a given name in the Middle Ages. It was bestowed on the first American child of English parentage, born at Roanoke, Virginia, in 1587 and has since remained in constant, if modest, use. Both child and province were named in honour of Elizabeth I, the 'Virgin Queen'. Among modern influences on the choice of the name has been the actress Virginia McKenna (b. 1931).

The fumble isn't his fault but the INts are and his iniablity to put drives together he gets his share of the blame for.
You can show that all you want but I wasn't making excuses for sanchez like you guys are for henne. When I do that then you can show that info.
Now henne is getting credit for a pass against indy when he didn't even play? I didn't blame their O for that loss anyway.
I haven't blamed the Phins O for any of those losses but they were a aprt of the problem and deserved their share of the blame while you guys are trying to just blame the D.
Please stop w/ the div championship stuff, most divisions change champs every year and we all know if Brady is healthy in 2008 they easily win the division. That's like saying in 1999 Rick Mirer then ray Lucas had a ton of pressure on them after Vinny went down b/c we won the division the year before OR in 2003 when Chad went down that Vinny had all the pressure on him b/c we won the div the year before. The div title had nothing to do w/ 2009 and being 0-3.
You are right,m I'm wrong. he was great those last 3 games. How could one not be impressed w/ leading his team to a total of 9 points in the first halves of the Ten and Hou games when they controlled their own destiny. He was spectacular.

• Rules Proficiency Exam required for all participants of National Tour (NT) events.
• Creation of a Pro Senior Legends Division for competitors 75+ years old.
• Modification of target requirements for PDGA Sanctioned Events. (See Table 2)
Yeah that's just what we needed. Here is the PDGA at work for you. And we wonder why this game hasn't hit the mainstream yet.

The Program
Franks School of Education has a long tradition of preparing highly effective future teachers. The program meets the State of Indiana Teaching Licensure Standards and standards for the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). Students are required to complete extensive field experiences throughout their programs which give them direct contact with today's classrooms. Majors within the FSOE are: Elementary education, licensure in grades K-6; Mathematics, grades 5-12, Science/chemistry, grades 5-12, Science biology/life science, grades 5-12, Social Studies, grades 5-12, and Health and Physical education, grades K-12.
See Also:
The Experience
Our faculty come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences all related to classroom teaching, advanced research, and preparing future teachers. This experience is the foundation for an academically rigorous teacher education program that focuses on the most up-to-date curriculum, instructional strategies, classroom management designs, and technology used in classrooms today. Students spend nearly 200 hours in field experiencesprior to graduation.
The Results
Graduates from FSOE have a high level of job placement, running between 95 and 100% every year. In addition to classroom teaching, students have obtained other educationally related positions, and still others go on to complete master's degrees. Feedback from school administrators consistently refers to how well the Trine teacher education graduates are prepared to begin teaching from day one in the classroom and how effective these teachers are far beyond graduation.
