A word from Burritt Room & Tavern - Mystic Hotel
As the new executive chef at Charlie Palmer's Burritt Room and one of the Zagat's 30 under 30, Knox was brought in to completely overhaul the tavern's menu. Armed with first-hand experience of agriculture (growing up near his uncle's farm in Nebraska) and 10 years working in fine-dining restaurants like Bouchon and Aureole in Las Vegas, the Thomas Keller/Charlie Palmer protégé knows his way around fresh ingredients and how to enhance their flavors with minimal manipulation. "My dishes integrate Charlie's Progressive American style," he says, "while also incorporating my passion for clean, simple plates with strong flavors and a sense of San Francisco style." He recently turned his attention to the Burritt Room, where he's raised the bar on the menu offerings, introducing items that go beyond your standard fare such as fried pork shank with American Ale reduction and asparagus and crispy artichoke salad.Continued

- ljjohnVIPDined on 11/22/2014Great wait staff. Small but well thought out menu. Food very well prepared and presented. The bar area is seperated from the dining room more conceptually than in reality so it is a very good place for dinner with a date before 7. After 7 the energy (some might say noise) goes up exponentially with the live band in the bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Better for fun than foodBruceVIPDined on 11/21/2014Great cocktails and cool atmosphere but very disappointed in the food. The ravioli, highly recommended by the otherwise great waiter, was very tough...like it had been reheated for days. The New York steak was tough and sinewy. Will be back for drinks but passing on the food next time.Special Features:
- Loved it.anne123Dined on 11/21/2014Having dinner in a small room was delightful! Food was great and service was wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun AmbianceMLiboVIPDined on 11/19/2014Great for drinks or happy hours. Food was not amazing but not awful either. Would go back but probably only for drinks. Really amazing old fashion though.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/18/2014great service great bar expensive but your in union square so expect it. we would go more often, cuz we love the bar first them going right into the dinning area we have also taken a stay cation and stayed at the hotel. BUT wow there are still vegetarians in SF. there use to be menus that would celebrate being a veggie with at least one entree let alone maybe two that a veggie could eat but NONE at all on the menu is kinda behind the time? NO? and you always every time we come have to "make" something for the vegetarians. Really do no vegetarians come to your place? and it's always risotto (which is delicious) but rich and come on we would love to not have to eat cheese pasta (which was a little under cooked BTW) or cheese risotto every super nice restaurant we go to while everyone else at dinner gets these awesome creative dishes. Punishing the vegetarian was big in the early 90's here. I was loving when the city menus served both for about 15 years it was nice. now all meat, some you would never want to eat and no vegetables in general I mean almost none came with the meals. so maybe a more diverse menu and this place would be a perfect gem that even a local could frequent. other wise we can only go a couple times a year or the menu gets tired.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The grown-up Hotel RestaurantHonkzillaDined on 11/14/2014Hotel restaurants used to get a bad rap, but Burritt Room & Tavern goes out of its way to dissuade you of any prejudices you may have in that regard. Start in the bar for one of their signature cocktails ()I recommend the Mark Twain), or order something classic (a Negroni is never the wrong choice) and then head into the informal dining room for steak frites, a glazed pork chop or their famous drunken chicken. For starters, get a plank of meats and cheese and then end up with the cookie plate (but be warned, these are plate-sized cookies and the chocolate milk is more like a chocolate shake). And if desert isn't your thing, grab another cocktail before you head out into the cold night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LOVED IT!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/7/2014My husband & I are 40 something. Made our reservation for 10 at the last minute. Loved everything about this place. Our table was near the bar which was fine because it was a great spot to hear the live music & people watch. Bar was packed. Our dinner was delicious. We had a great nightSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love Bringing Friends HereNikCarrawayVIPDined on 11/7/2014The great thing about Burritt Room besides the great food and excellent service is the fantastic "hidden" location. I love bringing friends here for the first time as you don't expect such a great place tucked away by the Stockton Tunnel! I recommend asking for a booth if it's available. I feel like this a place you might see James Dean and Jack Kerouac sharing wine and having a laugh over steak. But that aside, our waiter Michael took excellent care of us that night for dinner and as usual, Burritt Room did not disappoint. We ordered several starters along with our entrees and a half bottle of wine as well and left very full and happy. Michael was fantastic, at all times friendly and helpful and engaging as our waiter. A fantastic time!Special Features:
- Our favorite SF Place to BeallezmikeVIPDined on 10/22/2014We discovered this topi shelf yet affordable bar and restaurant several years ago. We do not live in the city, but visit frequently. Can't say enough about the vibe (jazz was playing when we arrived at 6pm!), excellent bar staff - and then the restaurant itself. The area is a combination of an open area and booths. Our favorite server, Ryan, was there to greet us. He brought the chef out, who thanked us for our patronage and welcomed us back. All the courses were marvelous. the menu has a wide variety and can satisfy the most discriminating palette. So nice to feel like we are family!Special Features:
- Still GreatOL2HVIPDined on 10/15/2014Burritt Room remains our favorite Union Square eatery. They continue to do a fabulous job with Drinks/Wine/appetizers and main courses. The Trout was done just right, and so was the NY Steak. Prices are very reasonable for a meal of this quality. Service is fabulous. We went before a 7pm show curtain , informed the waiter of our time situation, and everything was served accordingly and we were not at all rushed. We love this place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great night Bar!Suzi12Dined on 10/4/2014Great bar, very atmospheric! Live Jazz music on the Friday night that we went there. Food is ok, service very good and waiters cheerful and friendly. Can be intimate for couples or larger groups are well catered for.Special Features:
- TennisLuverTennisLuverDined on 9/26/2014The only reason I gave it a less than 5 start rating is the noise level is pretty high and one does have to talk at an elevated level to make yourself heard. There are individual draped seating areas that can be reserved, we didn't know that or would have requested, and I imagine it's a bit quieter tho' I can't say for sure. The service, food, presentation was excellent. Apparently this is a new restaurant for Charlie Palmer, and is consistent with other of his restaurants that I have visited, there is something for everyone within the menu. It was very lively there and is a happening place, we were there on a Friday night in the fall, we would visit again when in San Francisco.Special Features:
- Exciting atmosphereLauraVIPDined on 9/21/2014Very enjoyable dinner and experience. Excellent service, fine preparation, nice wine list. Very cool atmosphere with private booths.Special Features:
- Love the ambiance of the restaurantInTownVIPDined on 9/11/2014The table with the curtains are awesome! The food could use a little work. Eggplant fries were greasy and bread that came with our avocado tartar was burnt and not edible.Special Features:
- Good drinks, food fell shortGspikeVIPDined on 8/27/2014These guys really know how to make a whisky drink, but they consistently overcooked everyone's entree meat. Salmon was cooked completely through and rib eye and pork chop came out almost entirely charred black. The interior of the meat wasn't completely dry, but the overabundance of char negatively affected flavor.Special Features:
- Shabby chic, fun & deliciousNancyVIPDined on 8/16/2014We celebrated a birthday dinner--all had great burgers and fries except the b'day girl who had delicious pan-grilled salmon (very fresh and high quality) with sauteed fresh vegetables. The desserts were seasonal and top notch. The cocktails were imaginative and yummy. The bar has live music and the bar decor is shabby chic--comfortable and fun. Service was excellent. We'll be back.Special Features:
- Food great, service not so muchAndreaGVIPDined on 8/15/2014The bar is fantastic...had cocktails before dinner. It's lively and the service is good. Once we went into the dining room everything changed. Although our waitress was very nice, she didn't seem quite on top of it. In regards to the menu, we wanted to order the mortadella with burrata but they didn't have burrata. Then, we wanted two orders of the avocado tartare and they only had one order. Just seemed odd to us. The food we were able to order was excellent! The restaurant needs to work on making sure they have what's on the menu and that items ordered show up when they're supposed to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go for a drink, not for the foodDahoVIPDined on 8/15/2014The bar here is very cool and there is live music a lot of the time, which is great. We decided to try the restaurant for dinner, we ordered a bunch of small plates to share, none of them were spectacular. Service was spotty. I won't be eating here again, but I will visit for a cocktail.Special Features:
- Nice bar but pretty priceyOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/2/2014The drinks were great and the food was pretty good. Overall though, I don't think the experience is worth the large bill, at least for the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Crab Bake= HeavenNatashaSFVIPDined on 8/1/2014I come to this restaurant often as I live in the neighborhood. I always have a great experience, but on Friday I had the MOST AMAZING meal. I split the "Crab Bake" with a friend and it blew our minds. I can't wait to share it again!Special Features:
- The following 311 reviews are from the Burritt Room & Tavern - Mystic Hotel reviews archive.
- Funny Money at the BarOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/18/2014We arrived on time for our reservation, but we were told we'd have a 20 minute wait, and to hang out at the bar. Bar was packed, but we managed to put an order in for two drinks. Even though most of the drinks in the drink menu were listed at around $11-12, we were somehow only given $8 back from two twenties, ($32 for the math challenged)... for an Old Fashioned and one of their own cocktails listed as $12. So the overcharge was nearly 50%, and really irked us. The rest of the dining experience was ok, the food was good, the dining room was not as pretty as the bar area. However the funny money was such a bad feeling that we were unable to truly enjoy the rest of our time at Burritt. We live in the area, but we won't be back.
- Better service at StarbucksdinenwineVIPDined on 7/7/2014If the service here was horrible, it would have been good. So, what's worse that horrible? First, we asked for a table at a booth and were told there were all full. After a 2.5 hour dinner, I can tell you that the booths were empty the entire night and were never full. I think the wait staff just didn't want to walk that far. To make matters worse, our server "Jard" literally spent his entire night at the cash register and only came to our table to check on us when we begged him. At 8.30, after nearly an hour of waiting for our food, we got up to ask him about our food, he told us 'it's on it's way right now" -- our food then arrived at 9pm. Great food (eventually) but the service and their attitude was terrible and offensive. Not worth itSpecial Features:
- pretty good, not greatlauraVIPDined on 7/6/2014This was the second time we ate here and we didn't love it as much the second time. The fig salad and lemon risotto starters were excellent, the salmon entree was good and the poached nectarine dessert was just okay. While we loved the dining room and our private booth, the service was quite slow, even though the restaurant was not crowded.
- Defiantly a cool little spot!MikeDined on 7/3/2014The bartenders know their stuff, the wait staff is great and the floor manager Steven was more than accommodating for all our needs. (Welcome to S.F.) put all that is a classy jazz bar with a great sprits selection, I'm pretty sure you've got a winner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great find before theaterBunsVIPDined on 6/19/2014Food is fresh, creative and seasonal. Accommodating to dietary restrictions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LuluOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/15/2014Food and service great but the music was loud and inappropriate for the dining ambience so carefully created. Ok for Bar but not dining room.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great place for drinks or dinner!jl55VIPDined on 6/6/2014i've been here four times now and have been very pleased with the experience every time...the food, drinks, service, ambiance are always spot on. i wish this place would get more foot traffic though! maybe because it's tucked away on the second story of a hotel building...well i'm happy to keep it as my little secret. if you haven't been, you should check it out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Won't returnAlmsfpdxVIPDined on 6/5/2014I've eaten here several times and am a Charlie Palmer fan. Always have had a great experience....Buritt has starting holding DJ events in the space below the restaurant. The music is so loud it shakes the chairs.....you can feel it through the floor. drowns out the band in the bar....impossible to hold a conversation. The waiter was very apologetic and professional about it. Mgmt should re evaluate their decision to host the DJ events during dining hours.
- Great experienceetrinhDined on 6/4/2014Came here for dine about town. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the execution of the food. The beat salad with burrata and honey was done very well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- delicious~DawnCVIPDined on 5/31/2014Not a big menu, but everything on it is SO tasty! This place is never as packed as it should be considering the amazing cocktail list and consistently delicious food. My boyfriend and I regularly come here just the two of us and with groups. Everyone we bring here always loves it. This is one of my favorite restaurants in SF, and not enough people appreciate it!Special Features:
- Great place and excellent serviceDejanDined on 5/30/2014We went to Burrit Room & Tavern to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We arrived about 10 minutes early so were prepared that we might need to wait but we were seated almost immediately - a sign of good things to come. The menu is not very big but all of the items that we ordered were prepared very well and we enjoyed very much the food and drinks (and the cocktails were great). The great food and service for a perfect evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but a bit disappointedGoodFoodAndOpenTableFanVIPDined on 5/25/2014We had yet to try Burritt Room & Tavern and were excited to finally check out a Charlie Palmer place. So, we entered with high expectations. I must say that the service was SUPER. The waitstaff were fantastic - sound recommendations, speedy service, unobtrusive. The food, on the other hand, could have been better. Some things (the brussel sprouts) were great but our burgers which were ordered "medium" arrived "well done". We appreciated the adjustment to our bill but would have been much happier with juicier burgers. Having said that, the burger topping and home made bun were delicious. I plan to give it another try and suggest you try it also. - oh, by the way, the drinks were terrific!Special Features:
- Great Experience with a groupFancyJB9VIPDined on 5/10/2014I came here with a party of 6 to entertain 3 out of towners and we had a fantastic time. We were running late and they accommodated a postponement to our reservation. We first hit the bar upon arrival and ordered the punch of the day bowl. Not only was it was delicious, but it lasted us through the entire dinner with several refills per person. Our server and bus boy were very friendly and serviceable. Their recommendations were spot on. We pretty much are family style and ordered almost one of everything. Not a single thing I tired I didn't like. I did enjoy the steak and the salmon the best. And as for dessert, make room for the shortcake and the pot de creme. I recommend this place to anyone for a group or date setting. It's fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Last minute great choiceCgarAfishinadoDined on 5/8/2014Great Live Jazz mid-week, cool location for non-boring business dinner or date. Excellent staff and interesting meal choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A great evening at the Burritt RoomKO27Dined on 5/3/2014I found the Burritt Room on Open Table and was a little wary after reading a few of the not as positive reviews. I have to say that I was really glad I decided to go as we were all extremely pleased with our meals and the service was outstanding. If you have a small group (4 or less) try to get one of the "booths" which is a more private dining experience!Special Features:
- Delicious & delightfulDinerSFVIPDined on 5/2/2014A great choice for a yummy dinner with friends. Our server was great and knew the menu very well. He was attentive and cared that we were happy. Nice food and nice decor made for a good evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a gemFoodpornlizVIPDined on 5/1/2014What a great night we had here. I went with a few girlfriends on a thursday evening for dinner and drinks. The cocktails were outstanding and the food was decent portion sizes for the price. Only thing was my steak was overcooked. The service was good except my server forgot what wine I was having and poured the wrong one in my glass so we had an interesting mix of Pinot Noir and Malbec. This would not stop me from coming back. We split the bill 4 ways and for everything we ordered it was a very reasonable deal for fancy dining. They also had live jazz music playing through our dinner. Definitely will be going back another night for round 2.Special Features:
- Bar business is booming thereOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 4/11/2014Bar business is booming there and I now understand why. I came a bit early, but this seemed to upset the hostess, who snapped at a waitress to seat me. Don't care to know about internal personnel problems and I probably wasn't the first diner to be early ever. For this quick bite I ordered 2 appetizers. Why on earth there was a sous vide egg with the sweetbreads only the cook would know. Sweetbreads are sufficiently inexpensive that the restaurant should not have to stretch this. The second item I ordered was fried brussel sprouts. Why on earth the cook felt moved to add crème fraiche to the sprouts escaped me. In addition, having to ask for bread before a meal, is another novel twist on stretching the restaurant's budget.Special Features:
- We had an excellent time.FriendDined on 4/4/2014We had an excellent time. The food was fabulous and the service thoughtful and attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 14 years together and in the cityMonabumDined on 3/31/2014We love Charlie Palmer we have been to most of his place on the west coast. This was our first time at the Burritt tavern. We loved it the our server Michael was amazing he told us to get this chocolate dessert that was to die for it taste like a sundae. The food and drinks were so good. We will be back I want to stay at the hotel too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Post subject: Ship selection
Is there any reason why anyone, given the choice, would take a D7 over a D5W?
The D5W has heavier shielding, better disruptor arcs and an extra ADD for a minor 10-point BPV difference.
In the same vein, is there any reason to take a Hydran Dragoon rather than a (cheaper, with more useful firing arcs) Iroqouis?
We are Hydrans! NO ONE LIKES US!

Haven't had the chance to play in awhile, but personally preferred the D5 itself for the better turn mode --
Yes, its down a bit on power compared to the D5W, but the Move cost pretty much make that irrelevent anyways --

I don't know if this would be a choice, but in SFB the D7 came out a number of years before D5W (New Heavy Cruiser), so if you are trying to make a historical match, that might be the reason. But if the years work differently in FC and things are all supposed to be around the same time period . . .
When I have seen posts about the topic on the SFB board and in Starfleet Command PC game discussions, the main reason that the older CA hulls would be favored would be because they are more robust and have more staying power if things get ugly. The reason makes sense, but I always like relying on advantages like a better power curve and better arcs like you said, rather than durability -- a lot of the time, if you need the durability to survive something, then you made a mistake anyway (this is my inner Klink talking, and I'm sure some Hydran/Gorn players have had experiences were being tough has been a larger advantage than it would be to a Klingon).

Well the D5 does cost more, in a squadron fight those 10 pts may mean a difference on what other ships you can afford. e.g D5 and D6 vs 2 * D7 (not a great example, but you get the point)
Those 10 pts can mean the difference between victory and defeat - that crippled D5 gave up more 15VP (10Vp for not having 10 fewer BPV to start with and 5VP for the more expensive crippled ship).
Campaigns may see you with a plentiful supply of 7s vs a small handful of 5s so you may want to preserve the 5s for really important battles.
As to the hydran arcs, I rather like those over the shoulder fire arcs on the dragoon, they are useful when you want keep the range open. The disrupter arcs on the D5W are good because they allow you to fire without actually turning at the enemy, the same principle applies with the Dragoon.

I certainly prefer the D5W. There are only 3 times that I take a D7 (or D7C):
1. When I want variety.
2. When I am playing against someone new and I want to give them a better advantage.
[EDIT: new reason I forgot about] 3. I take a D7C when I need a lot of transporters (e.g. 7 hit and runs in one impulse on 7 Juggernaut Ph-4 was very useful a couple of months ago).
Otherwise, if taking a D5W forces me to take a smaller ship elsewhere in the fleet that is usually an acceptable trade-off.
I always prefer a Dragoon (or Ranger) over their NCA counterparts for the following reasons:
1. After movement I rarely have enough power to fully overload 4 heavy weapons (Hellbore/Fusion) in one turn. I usually have enough power to fire 2 overloaded heavy weapons one turn.
2. Given point 1, the Dragoon/Ranger give me a possible 240 degree arc for those two overloaded heavy weapons. The NCAs only give me 120 degrees.
3. After firing off those 2 heavy weapons, on the next turn it is easier for me to maneuver to get a "L" or "R" shot (instead of another "FA" shot) with the remaining two heavy weapons.
Also, given a choice I will always choose a Dragoon/Ranger over the Lord Bishop/Marshall CCs. Hydrans already have enough of a phaser deficiency without losing two more phasers to two addtional heavy weapons that I won't have the power for anyway.

Anti-aging creams and treatments have been around for decades, making outlandish claims while producing minimal to no results, but there are now extremely promising signs that a change is on the horizon. Recent evidence and studies carried out in a number of high profile medical and scientific facilities have found that chemicals known as "phytoceramides" could actually be even more effective at reducing the appearance of and preventing wrinkles than expensive Botox injections and dangerous surgical procedures. What does this mean for you? This means you get to look younger and feel healthier than you could have ever imagined without paying thousands of dollars on temporary fixes and risky practices.Pure Phytoceramides is clinically proven to boost collagen production.
Loren Shaw, 36, from Los Angeles reported that her results were "through the roof" after just 2 weeks, using onlyPhyto 350-Renew and monitoring her results daily.
On her blog she wrote,
"I couldn't believe it. I didn't change a single thing in my daily routine at all. I just took one pill a day and my smoothness and texture went through the roof. It also fades my wrinkles. I am very happy with this product; it is more effective than any creams or treatments I've tried in the past."
Recently Pure Phytoceramides has been featured in REDBOOK magazine highlighting extraordinary advancements in skin care.

What are phytoceramides, and how do they work?
Phytoceramides are plant-based lipid chemical ceramides that help to promote and encourage healthy, youthful skin and hydration. They work by joining together under the skin and then creating a barrier that locks in moisture, helping to keep skin healthy and hydrated. The more moisture there is within the skin, the plumper and firmer it will be, and the younger you'll look! These miraculous ingredients help to hydrate the skin, seal in moisture, prevent wrinkles, improve collagen production, and form a protective layer over the skin to protect it against the sun, elements, and free radicals such as pollution.
Pure Phytoceramides has been clinically proven to:
Reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Increase skin hydration &suppleness
Reduce spots, blemishes, and red marks
Improve elasticity for a softer and firmer feel
Reduce skin cracking and peeling
Promote plumper looking skin

My Results 1. Take one Pure Phytoceramides pill per day (in the morning)
2. Monitor results each week Week One
After one week of using Pure Phytoceramides I am beyond surprised at the dramatic results. I can already see a plumper, more youthful look to my face.
On day 7 I woke up feeling like a new and improved me. But I was still a little skeptical. Was this really all from takingPure Phytoceramides? The only way to find out was to continue my test, but I must admit I'm excited.
Week Two
Within 2 weeks of beginning Pure Phytoceramides, I no longer had to use the additional heavy face and body moisturizers that I had been using all winter. The micro lines on my face have disappeared, and to put it simply, I look younger by about 5-7 years.
Keep in mind, I have made absolutely no change to my diet, exercise, or work schedule. This has all been the result of literally doing nothing except taking Pure Phytoceramides.
Week Three
After three weeks, all my doubts and skepticism have absolutely vanished! I'm still experiencing consistent softening of all my facial lines.
As an added benefit, the phytoceramides also contribute to the health of my nails. I am a nail biter and more times than not the area around my cuticles is peeling and nails are just so brittle. I have noticed that my cuticles are no longer dried out and peeling, but look a lot healthier.
Week Four
After the fourth week, my results were incredible. My skin is as beautiful as it was in my early twenties, and everyone keeps asking me what my "secret" is. Actually everyone at True Beauty D aily is kicking themselves for not having volunteered to be the guinea pig. Even though my test is over, with the results I've experienced over the last month I am obviously going to continue taking Pure Phytoceramides… and I highly suggest anyone who reads this does the same!

COLUMBIA, Md. - One of the young victims of the mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., was a Maryland native.
Josephine Gay's parents, Bob and Michele Gay, issued a statement Thursday recalling their daughter's "indomitable" spirit.
They say their daughter, known as "Joey," turned 7 three days before the shooting. The statement says Joey was autistic and suffered from apraxia, a neurological disorder that affects motor skills, and could not speak. Her parents say she "touched the lives of so many around her" and "had a wonderful sense of humor."
Joey was born in Columbia and moved to Connecticut with her family four years ago.
Her parents say their daughter loved "all things purple" and usually wore purple clothing because "she grew up in a family of Ravens fans."

"HU just kind of felt right. It felt like home. It felt like I was supposed to be there."
Like every young child, Brandon Tanner wanted to grow up to be a doctor. Like so many others, though, he didn't grow out of that dream. "I think everyone says, 'I want to be a doctor. I want to be an astronaut.' I just never grew out of my doctor phase," he said with a chuckle. Tanner, a 2011 HU biology pre-med graduate, is in his second year of medical school at Indiana University. "Everyone tells you it's really different and exhausting and consumes your life, but you can't really describe it without experiencing it," he said. "HU gave me a good foundation." Tanner started looking into colleges during his junior year of high school and found the right fit at HU. "HU just kind of felt right," he said. "It felt like home. It felt like I was supposed to be there." And after graduation, the transition from a small Christian school to a big state college was made easy because of the preparation that Huntington gave him — from small classes to one-on-one attention from the faculty. "I wanted to stay in state. IU has a great reputation for med school," he said. "That was always my top choice so I was really excited when I was accepted."

WASHINGTON - A local swim coach who used to train swimmers bound for the Olympics is now facing 15 years in jail and will have to register as a sex offender after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a child he coached in the 1980s.
Richard J. Curl of Vienna pleaded guilty Thursday morning to one count of child sexual abuse in Montgomery County Circuit Court.
Curl will be sentenced May 23.
Police say 63-year-old Curl turned himself in on Thursday to face the charge, which came after police in August interviewed 43-year-old Kelley Davies Currin who said she had been abused by Curl when he coached her as a child.
Currin alleged that the abuse started with inappropriate touching when she was 13 and continued with sexual acts until she was 18. She says the abuse occurred at his former homes and at the swimming facilities at the Georgetown Preparatory School in North Bethesda.
"This is not a happy day for her ... She's not here to see Mr. Curl suffer in any way," said Currin's attorney Debbie Feinstein, assistant state's attorney for Montgomery County. She described to reporters that the alleged abuse had a life-long impact.
On the notion that theirs was a consensual affair, Feinstein notes Currin knew Curl since she was 9 years old. Currin alleges the sexual abuse, which included fondling and escalated to sexual intercourse, started when Currin was 13.
"When you are 13, 14, 15, you're not in a voluntary relationship with someone who is 20 years your senior who is your coach. That is not voluntary ... That is, that's abuse," says Feinstein.
There are no other active investigations against Curl, prosecutors say. Curl has been banned from life from coaching by USA Swimming. The Curl-Burke Swim Club no longer goes by that name, but by Nation's Capital Swim Club.
Currin's attorneys released the following statement:
"Ms. Currin is pleased that justice is going to be carried out against Mr. Curl but there remains unfinished business. We hope that a similar fate is in store for those at USA Swimming who covered up for him over a period of literally decades. The current Vice President of USA Swimming has admitted in writing that knowledge about Mr. Curl "banging" his swimmers has gone back to as early as the late 1980's. An untold number of childhood sexual abuse has occurred due to the callous inaction of those who knew about Mr. Curl's sexual predilections and did absolutely nothing about it. We urge the authorities, as they did with Penn State, to now look into possible criminal conduct that has occurred within USA Swimming."
A phone message left for Curl at his Vienna, Va., was not immediately returned Thursday.

Caramelised Onion Tartlets with Goats' Cheese and Thyme
When we made these tartlets for the photography, we couldn't stop eating them! Crisp, light pastry with such a luscious filling – and also lovely as a first course at a supper party.
Makes 24
|Oven temperatures and Conversions
|Click here for information
|You will also need a 3¼ inch (8 cm) pastry cutter and two 12-hole patty tins with cups measuring 1¾ inches (4.5 cm) at the base, 2½ inches (6 cm) at the top and ¾ inch (2 cm) deep, well greased.
This recipe is taken from How to Cook Book Three.
First make up the pastry. Sift the flour into a large bowl, then add the butter. Take a knife and begin to cut it into the flour until it looks fairly evenly blended, then add the Parmesan, mustard and a pinch of cayenne pepper, plus about 1½ tablespoons cold water to make a smooth dough, before discarding the knife and bringing it together with your fingertips. Then place the dough in a plastic food bag and put it into the fridge to rest for 30 minutes. In the meantime, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C). After that, roll it out as thinly as possible, use the cutter to stamp out 24 rounds and line the tins with them. (The pastry will stand proud of the rim of the cups to allow for shrinkage.) Then prick the bases and brush with the beaten egg. Now bake on the middle and top shelves of the oven (swapping them over halfway through to ensure even browning) for about 10 minutes, or until the pastry is just cooked through, then cool them on a wire rack. Meanwhile, for the filling, melt the butter in a large frying pan and cook the onions very gently, uncovered and stirring often, for about 30 minutes, or until they have turned a lovely golden brown caramel colour. Then leave to cool and set aside until needed. Now whisk the egg with the cream and mustard in a jug and add some seasoning. Next, spoon a little of the onion mixture into each pastry case, spread it out evenly and pour the egg mixture over. Cut each cheese log into 12 thin slices (wiping the knife between slices to cut more cleanly; the cheese is quite soft, so you may have to reshape a few slices into rounds). Place a slice on the top of each tartlet, then top with a sprig of thyme and a sprinkling of cayenne pepper. Bake for 20 minutes, or until puffy and golden, swapping the tins again halfway through cooking.

It is difficult and costly to accurately measure maternal mortality (see below), and the results are not actionable. However, process indicators are monitoring tools that can provide information about where interventions are needed.
One example of a process indicator is whether there is skilled attendance at birth. This particular indicator will be used as a global benchmark to monitor progress towards the goal of maternal mortality reduction, as agreed at ICPD + 5.
Process indicators to guide programmes and policies
A series of process indicators published in 1997 by UNICEF, WHO and UNFPA focuses specifically on monitoring whether women who develop serious obstetric complications receive the services they need. This information can guide programmes and policies.
Obstetric service indicators
|Minimal Acceptable Level
|For every 500,000 people, 4 facilities that provide basic EOC, and one that offers more comprehensive care.
|Number of all births in EOC facilities
|At least 15 per cent of all births.
|Met needs
|All women with complications receive EOC.
|Number of Caesarian sections
|Between 5 and 15 per cent of all births.
|Case fatalities
|Less than 1 per cent.
Indicators include the number of facilities offering emergency obstetric care, their geographic distribution, the percentage of women with complications treated in emergency obstetric care facilities, the Caesarean-section rate and the case fatality rate, an indicator of the quality of care provided.
This series of process indicators is now often used to assess the outcome of interventions at district and facility level and may be included in national management information systems. Maternal deaths audits, undertaken withfamilies, communities and health providers, are also a powerful way of improving the delivery of services.
The difficulty of measuring maternal mortality
Maternal morality rates and ratios are difficult and expensive to obtain and often inaccurate. Maternal mortality tends to be under-reported because people in developing countries often die outside the health system, which makes accurate registration of deaths difficult. In some studies, the actual number of maternal deaths was double or triple what was initially reported.
Maternal mortality is also misclassified, because health workers may not know why a woman died, or whether she was or had recently been pregnant. Deaths are sometimes intentionally misclassified, especially if they are associated with clandestine abortions.
Methods used to calculate maternal death rates are often complex and costly to use. The actual number of maternal deaths in a specific place at a specific time is relatively small. Therefore, very large populations must be surveyed in order to get accurate estimates, which is costly. The relative infrequency of maternal deaths over a short period also means that the rates will appear to jump around, making interpretation of trends over time difficult. In addition, some of the poorest countries do not have adequate vital registration systems.
A much more detailed discussion of the difficulties and methodologies used to gauge the incidence of maternal mortality is available in this joint publication.

Being a universal player, I dug through my collection of SACDs and DVD-As, as well as regular CDs and sat though some audiophile bliss. The multichannel music was gorgeous, but I was particularly impressed with the detail and imaging coming out of my Canton speakers when playing curmudgeon two-channel CD music.
I switched over to the USB input and hooked up a Seagate drive. The player handled my digital files well, but did get hung up once while navigating folders. That may have been the fault of the drive, because it never happened with a Western Digital external drive, only the older Seagate.
The headphone DAC on the Oppo is a curious addition. I listened Alison Krauss' Down to the River to Pray on Yamaha's new PRO 500 headphones. Upon first switching back and forth between the Oppo output and the one on my Onkyo receiver, I though the Oppo sounded a bit more subdued, but I believe the Oppo was just a few dB quieter. When I popped the Oppo's volume up a bit it sounded at least as good as the output coming from the Onkyo, maybe slightly better. In a few instances the male vocals in the chorus were more discernible, but not by much.
A much bigger difference in audio could be heard when comparing Pandora on the Oppo against Pandora via my Roku player. The same channels played a bit cleaner on the Oppo.
Video streaming also looked better. I compared Netflix videos played over the Oppo to the same movies from the Roku and the differences in detail were obvious. Oppo's video processing made streamed movies look better than I'd ever seen.
Overall, the Oppo BDP-105 seems to do most things better than any other player on the market. For $1,199 it ought to, but if you take your theater experience seriously, and don't want to regret something down the road, this player is the one to check out.

Frontiers of Efficiency
What conservation potential assessments tell us about 'achievable' efficiency.
measures in order of increasing costs, and shows how large the reserve of conservation resource is for each measure. As Meier (1982) explained, a supply-curve approach provides a consistent accounting framework for addressing conservation measures and predicting their impacts and costs. It also allows conservation options to be readily compared with new energy supply alternatives, as both can be uniformly expressed as the marginal cost of obtaining an energy unit—a critical and necessary step in IRP.
From here, successively smaller portions of this potential are designated as A) "economic," B) "achievable," and C) "program" potential. These potential levels can then be differentiated according to specific constraints (or barriers) preventing realization of the potential at each level.
Economic potential can be defined as the subset of technical potential expected to be cost-effective, according to one or another of various jurisdiction-specific criteria, often the total resource cost (TRC) test. In general, a measure is cost-effective if its per-unit cost of conserved energy is lower than the cost of the energy it saves. A measure's cost of conserved energy varies, depending on the initial cost, quantity, and expected life of the resultant energy savings, relative to conventional technologies.
The economic potential likely to be realized depends on the many factors that help determine just how willing (and able) are consumers to embrace conservation. These factors include the energy prices, the cost of adopting conservation measures, the availability of adequate information, and a host of other barriers. Achievable potential represents conservation levels likely to be realized once these factors have been accounted for.
Compared to technical and economic potential, achievable potential is often described in less precise terms, with its value reported as a range of estimates, underscoring uncertainty not only in how it is defined, but also in methods used in quantifying it. Since levels of achievable potential depend on efforts necessary to capture the potential, the concept of "program" potential is often used to evaluate conservation quantities that may be achieved using varying investment levels in incentives and marketing efforts by conservation program administrators.
Estimating Conservation Potential
Methods for estimating technical potential fall into three broad categories. In the first category are integrated national or regional macroeconomic models, such as the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) and Consolidated Impacts Modeling System (CIMS). In these models, energy efficiency typically is treated in terms of economic decisions involved in production, conversion, and consumption of energy products.
The second category consists of models with roots stretching back to the end-use forecasting models of the late 1970s. In these models, energy efficiency potential is determined through generating a baseline forecast at the end-use level, and comparing its results to a second forecast, incorporating marginal impacts of a broad range of efficiency measures.
Finally, accounting models estimate potential for individual measures based on their expected savings and projected market saturation. End-use forecasting and accounting methods belong to a "bottom-up" approach, in that they begin with individual measures, assess their impacts, and then aggregate results up to end-use, market segment, and sector levels.

Beethoven: The Last Three Piano Sonatas
CDH55083 Helios (Hyperion's budget label) — Archive Service
Movement 1: Moderato cantabile molto espressivo
Movement 2: Allegro molto
Movement 3: Adagio ma non troppo Fuga: Allegro ma non troppo
Movement 3a: Adagio ma non troppo
Movement 3b: Fuga: Allegro ma non troppo
Humour is abundantly evident in the middle movement of Op 110, which serves as a scherzo in form and character, although it bears only the tempo designation Allegro molto, in 2/4 metre. Beethoven alludes to two popular songs, Unsa Kätz häd Katzln ghabt ('Our cat has had kittens') and Ich bin lüderlich, du bist lüderlich ('I'm dissolute, you're dissolute') in the main section of this movement.
The trio compresses the important motivic intervals of a third and fourth into cascades of descending figuration in the right hand, while the left hand crosses over the right with syncopated accents, creating a radical kind of rhythmic counterpoint.
Wrapped around the comic Allegro molto are movements of reflective and even transcendental character. Jürgen Uhde and Renate Wieland have described the opening Moderato cantabile molto espressivo of Op 110 as 'Music of expectation' on account of the special capability of the work to foreshadow its own future. One aspect of this tendency is demonstrated by the affinity between the fugue subject of the finale, with its three ascending fourths (A flat-D flat, B flat-E flat, C-F), and the similar contour of the opening bars of the lyrical first movement; this initial phrase is set apart from the ensuing music through its polyphonic texture and sustained trill, and takes on almost the character of a motto for the entire work.
This connection between the motto and fugue subject is part of a network of thematic anticipations and reminiscences – a network no less concentrated here than in the Ninth Symphony. As in the Ninth, Beethoven incorporates a transition utilising recitative at the threshold of the finale. The counterpart here to the 'Joy' theme of the Ninth Symphony is the fugue subject, especially in its closing apotheosis, which acts both as an alternative to the Arioso dolente and as the goal of various foreshadowings heard since the beginning of the work.
The weighty finale contains a twofold pairing of the despairing arioso and consoling fugue. The first fugue proves unable to be sustained: the music breaks off on the dominant of A flat, which is reinterpreted as an augmented-sixth chord in G minor, and this dark sonority is treated as tonic for the return of the Arioso dolente. The tonal relationship is bold and unprecedented in Beethoven: the entire lament is restated in intensified form, in G minor; and the framing cadential gesture brings a shift to the major, which assumes the character of a miraculous discovery. Nine increasingly intense repetitions of this G major sonority follow, and a gradual arpeggiation of that sound leads upward to the inversion of the fugue subject, which enters quietly and una corda, in G major.
The concluding fugue thus begins in the key of the leading tone, to re-emerge only later into the tonic A flat major, in the triumphant final passages. This unusual tonal relationship enhances the power of the conclusion; equally striking is Beethoven's masterful treatment of contrapuntal permutations in the transition from G major to A flat major. Not only does the subject appear against itself in diminution and augmentation but it appears in double diminution at the Meno allegro, comprising a decorating motivic cell that surrounds the sustained note values of the inverted subject.
Donald Francis Tovey claimed that in this closing fugue Beethoven eschewed an 'organ-like climax' with its ascetic connotations as a 'negation of the world': 'Like all Beethoven's visions this fugue absorbs and transcends the world'. It is significant in this regard that the transitional double-diminution passage recalls the earlier comic allusion in the Allegro molto. The rhythmic and registral correspondence renders the beginning of the Meno allegro transparent to Ich bin lüderlich, reinforcing the sense of an absorption of the 'world'; a similarity is clearly audible, because Beethoven compresses the fugal subject in diminution, deleting the second of its three rising fourths. The import of Beethoven's inscription nach und nach wieder auflebend ('gradually returning to life') is symbolised in this passage. The abstract contrapuntal matrix beginning with the inverted subject is infused with a new energy, which arises not naturally through traditional fugal procedures, but only through an exertion of will that strains those processes to their limits.
The rhythmic developments that point the way out of Beethoven's fugal labyrinth thus distort the subject, compressing it almost beyond recognition, while simultaneously opening a means of connection with the earlier movements. The entry of the original subject in A flat major is accompanied by shimmering semiquavers (sixteenth-notes) continuing the texture of double diminution, giving the effect of the theme being glorified by its own substance; at the same time this rapid figuration recalls the ethereal passage from the first movement. The transition from the darkness and pessimism of the Arioso dolente to the light and ecstasy of the fugue is now fully accomplished; and in the final moments Beethoven extends the fugal subject melodically into the high register before it is emphatically resolved, once and for all, into the closing A flat major sonority. This structural downbeat represents a goal towards which the whole work seems to have aspired. Yet the true conclusion lies beyond this chord in a rapport with silence, as (in Alfred Brendel's words) the work throws off even 'the chains of music itself'.

Associated Press
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- In the first horrific moments after the Boston bombing, with smoke still billowing around the wounded, I know what is going through the minds of the maimed victims.
They are at once conscious and unconscious. They want to scream, but they cannot scream. They want to wake up from a nightmare, but they are awake.
Overcome with a sense of deja vu, I feel my past converge with the future of those wounded spectators.
I lost my leg in a bomb blast. I know the violent shock of a day that begins well and ends with an amputation, the fog of drugs and surgery, the months of painful rehabilitation.
I know the suffering that lies ahead for these people in Boston. And I know the possibilities, too.
For those who lost a limb or more in the Boston Marathon, Monday, April 15, 2013, was the day their world changed forever.
Mine changed on Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2009. I had been embedded with the U.S. military for two weeks in southern Afghanistan as a photographer for The Associated Press, and this was to have been my last patrol before going home. It had been a long day in the open desert of Kandahar province and I was whipped, barely awake, in fact, when our eight-wheel armored Stryker vehicle hit a roadside bomb and flipped over, knocking me unconscious.
When I came to, I tried to get up but couldn't; my left foot was hanging by a few tendons. I felt brutal pain, like an electric shock, that began in my leg and swept through the rest of my body. Lying inside the vehicle, I thought of my wife, and willed myself to stay alive.
Eventually, a soldier found me and tied on a tourniquet.
In my years as a photojournalist, I'd taken many pictures of wounded soldiers and victims of suicide bombers. I had covered medical evacuations from Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Palestinian territories, and found it odd to suddenly be among those pulled from an inferno and carried on a stretcher -- along with two other soldiers and AP Television News videographer Andi Jatmiko.
They loaded me onto a helicopter next to a soldier who had lost both of his legs and we locked hands as the chopper took off for the provincial capital of Kandahar. The solidarity in that moment is the last thing I remember before waking up in a hospital tent to find my left leg had been amputated below the knee. There was no option to save it, doctors told me. Bone and tissue were destroyed by shrapnel. But fortunately my knee was intact, and that would make a substantial difference in my future mobility, they explained.
That offered little comfort as I lay alone and exhausted in a hospital bed in Afghanistan. I had so many questions about life with just one leg but I preferred sleep to thinking about my uncertain future.
The difference between those who lost limbs in Boston and me is that I knew I was taking a risk in a war zone and assumed it willingly, while they had merely gone out to cheer friends and relatives at a family sporting event.
They weren't supposed to be in danger.
I was a photographer documenting soldiers at war and everyday life for civilians under fire. But before violence grabs you, does anyone really believe he will become one of the dead or wounded? No. Nothing had happened to me on dozens of previous patrols with the military through hostile lands. And while I suspected I was playing a kind of Russian roulette, I also told myself that car accidents happen every day and most people don't stop driving because of that.
For months after the explosion I was tortured by so many "what ifs." What if I had stayed back to pack rather than going on patrol that day? What if I had sat a little bit to the right, would the shrapnel have missed my leg? Or if I had sat to the left, would I have lost both legs like the soldier next to me?
I imagine those in Boston whose bodies were torn up by nails or the blasts have similar thoughts: Why didn't I stand at mile 25, go for water, leave earlier, stay home? I would like to tell them that these questions fade as one begins to accept the reality of losing a limb.
The morphine they gave me to dim the pain of my amputation sapped my energy. I wanted off it so I could start my recuperation with all my strength and walk as soon as possible. I am a Spanish citizen, not American, and was lucky that the AP was able to work bureaucratic miracles to get me admitted to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, one of the world's best rehab hospitals.

Petiole Sample and NutrientsSaturday, October 2nd, 2010
Today was the day for application of organic soil amendments. In addition to the drought this season, it turns out that my vines have quite a nutrient imbalance. Even though my soil tested rather well, the uptake into the vines can be impacted by lots of other factors – including water (or lack thereof).
Earlier in the season I sent in leaf petiole samples for testing and found that the vines were low in the following:
- Magnesium
- Manganese
- Calcium
- Iron
- Zinc
The calcium and zinc especially can be a result of the drought conditions; but the others need to be supplemented to assure continued vine health. And while foliar applications for some nutrients are available (and sometimes advised) I want to be sure that my soil can support the needs of the vines over time.
After quite a bit of research I found organic amendments available for all of the above (except zinc). And today I took out the spreader and slowly applied each of these, one at a time. I'll probably do another application in the spring, since fall isn't the ideal time to do this. And, over time, I'd expect to add items like this through my "fertigator" (drip irrigation supplements) once installed.
Of course, over time, the expectation is that I'll get my land well balanced and only compost tea and other natural feedings will be needed. But until then…

Greenville County Resident Arrested on Tax Charges
A Greenville County resident was jailed today following his arrest for state tax evasion charges.
South Carolina Department of Revenue investigators charged Willie Airline, of Greenville, with two counts of income tax evasion for tax years 2007-2008. He is being held at the Greenville County Detention Center pending a bond hearing.
Airline is accused of both filing fraudulent W-4 withholding forms with his employer to avoid having taxes withheld from his wages and of failing to file his income tax returns for 2007 and 2008. Airline failed to report more than $58,000 of income earned resulting in a state tax liability of $1,390.00 for that period.
This is the second time Airline has faced state tax evasion charges. In 2005, Airline was convicted of state income tax evasion, and is currently on probation for that offense.
He is facing up to 10 years in prison and fines of up to $20,000 if convicted of the charges.
