West of Pecos -- looks like this is the first review [SF]
Decided to give this new place on Valencia a try as the menu looked interesting -- sort of a modern take on Tex-Mex with lots of small plates or larger ones suitable for sharing. I'd heard they were still going through some start-up pains, but all in all thought I'd readily return.
We had four dishes: the Queso and home-made chips, the rosemary chicken skewers, duck flautas and a pumpkin seed "caesar" salad. Plus two glasses of an Oregon pinot gris each, for a total of around $80. Not bad for a relatively upscale place.
The Queso was delicious and creamy, made from Monterey Jack, Cheddar, green chilis and just a bit of chorizo.
My favorite of the dishes we tried was the salad. While this wasn't a traditional caesar by any means, that was an excellent thing as the interplays of flavors in this were wonderful. The basis was good romaine, a bit of creamy garlic dressing, fresh Mexican cheese and toasted pumpkin seeds. But then, to be added are desired was a fresh lime wedge, one side of which had been coated in coarsely ground chili -- which when added to the overall salad give it a brightness and just a bit of spiceiness. Then adding a sweeter note, there were a couple of roasted plum tomatos halves. I'd come back to the restaurant just to have this again, it was so good.
The chicken skewers were juicy, marinated thigh pieces strung onto a couple of rosemary twigs and grilled, four to a skewer. A very generous small plate and worth ordering.
The unfortunately loser were the duck flautas. The tortillas they were wrapped in and fried were too think and so quite hard, and the duck itself was dry, making the overall effect somewhat tasteless. This came with a nice bit of chopped salad, which was itself very good but not enough to redeem this dish.
There were a number of other things on the menu that sounded particularly good, including albodigas made with lamb and chorizo, and a whole fish fajitas with house made tortillas. There's a full bar, requisite tequila list and beers, as well as a number of interesting wines.
As always, JK, great report!
You had me at duck flautas reading your order list, and what a let down to hear the result. I'm still trying to get my head around the idea of TX queso without an velveeta. :)

re: Melanie Wong
Yes, I told Jesse about the Velveeta ones (which he thought disgusting). These folks got the creaminess just right without going that route.
re: Joan Kureczka
As a bonus, using real cheese makes it so that their queso doesn't immediately gelatinize. It's good stuff, especially the little chorizo bits.
Went last night. Queso was good. So was guacamole though I would have preferred without the cherry tomatoes. Excellent chips. Pozole was a different style but delicious broth with a lot of dark chiles. Flat iron steak with a cheese enchilada with a dark chile sauce was a great combination. Tostada salad was a good value and the roasted chulpe was a nice touch.
Duck flautas were just as Joan described. Dry duck in an overcooked tortilla, desperately needed some sort of seasoning and sauce. How can they still be serving such a wrong dish weeks later?
Excellent cocktails, some good beers, wine list could be better.
Great space. Amazing makeover of the old Bombay Bazaar. Overall, solid place, good value.
I certainly haven't eaten at West of Pecos, I would love to. The fare at this place sounds like it's quite good, and very well crafted. But I'd like to know more about what qualifies West of Pecos's fare as " a sort of modern take on Tex-Mex". As one who was born and raised in San Antonio, and a 5th generation Texan, and one who strives to prepare Tex-Mex in a more modern and fresh way, the term seems way open to interpretation, and on loose footing in terms of Mexican food unique to Texas. I'm not trying to seem indignant, self righteous or even mean spirited...I love ALL had crafted foods prepared by people who love what they do. However most of the ingredients and dishes I am reading about here have never been part of standard Tex-Mex Fare as I have experienced it. That said, I'd love to look at their menu, and will definitely try their offerings next time I am on the west coast!
re: varga49
They're not laying any claim to being Tex-Mex. The menu's kind of Cal-pan-southwestern. Some of the dishes are New Mexican. Geographically, most of New Mexico is west of Pecos and very little of Texas is. Menu:
Tyler MacNiven, winner of Season 9 The Amazing Race, is the owner of West of Pecos - he was there when I went Sat 7/28/12. He lite the candle for us, when I asked if he was on the show he introduced himself to us, shook our hands, & let me takes some pics! Super nice guy. He also owns Woodhouse Fish Company, SF.
Food we tried: I saw someone's blog & read the menu online so I knew what I wanted to try.
Cornbread in a small skillet $6 - comes with a small scoop of butter on top & syrup on the side. It has corn that you can see & eat inside the cornbread! Yum! Get it.
Green chile mac & cheese $8 - small skillet filled with creamy mac & cheese, little bit of green chile. We liked it.
Arugula salad $10 - big enough for 2, or for 1 person's entree. We liked it. A bunch of goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, candied walnuts.
Texas ribs $14 - Only 6 ribs, tender, some blackened on the top, a bit spicy. I liked it.
4 dishes & 1 drink $56.42 before tip.
There's a bar area, & 2 dining rooms. Separate bathrooms available. Women's had a candle in the shape of a cowboy boot, kids book on the wall on Pecos Bill.
re: hhc
I was never more aware of how much all my senses play into my appreciation of food than at this place the other night; it was so dark I could barely make out the dishes closest to me. And I stained my clothes!
The food was mild to the point of babyfood. The server brought a somewhat spicy hot sauce and a bowl of sliced raw red jalapenos that were barely spicy. The best dish by far was the cornbread, The guacamole (and I make the great Diana Kennedy's sans cilantro) was admirable for its very fresh tasting, perfectly ripe chunks of avocado, if otherwise not much like real guac; chips were fresh. My favorite part of the cheese dip was the somewhat spicy rajas--fried strips of chiles--on top. The posole suffered from underdone hominy and dried out meat. The dish where I most missed any visual contact was a vegetable saute; I didn't enjoy finding out what I was eating after I'd chewed it! The carnitas was ok but perhaps not the right place to have it. The sausage in the lamb and chorizo meatballs was no more detectable than it had been on the cheese dip, and the balls were a bit unremitting., The allegedly freshly made corn tortillas didn't have the texture I expect from handmade--too thin and a bit rubbery. Machine-made to order? Even my cocktail, supposedly made with serranos, was devoid of any hot pepperiness!
Fortunately, I have a decent miniflashlight on my key chain and was able to read the menu to my companions.
Since this is hardly a romantic type place, why do you suppose it's so poorly lighted?
re: Robert Lauriston
As I said, my source for all things Mexican is Diana Kennedy, who uses onions, tomatoes, chiles, and cilantro in hers.
re: Fine
There are various regional and family traditions. In the avocado-producing region of Michoacan guacamole is usually just avocados and salt, sometimes with a little lime juice, with salsa on the side.
"There are many variations—making it with tomates verdes, or leaving out the tomato altogether, mashing the avocado with just a little chili and salt and a suspicion of lime juice. Practically anything goes, but within certain limits, which does not include the unnecessary additions that I see in most pedestrian cookbooks."—Diana Kennedy, "The Cuisines of Mexico"
When guacamole does contain tomatoes, in Mexico they're always finely chopped. Big chunks or whole cherry tomatoes are to me one of those unnecessary additions.
re: Fine
But this isn't really a Mexican restaurant, so I don't think we can fault them for that. (Though I am not a fan of their guac.)
BF and I took my six-year-old niece for an early dinner here a month ago, and we were all happy. Was it--from my perspective--mind-blowing food, Mexican or otherwise? No, but it was solid. We all loved the corn bread. Kid liked the mac-n-cheese with chiles. I had the steak with cheese enchiladas. BF and I split the Caesar salad. He had the albondigas and liked them so much I did not get a taste. Extremely generous portions. Tasty food. Nice service. Convenient location. Probably really good for groups and/or drinkers.
Will return.

Day 1 Athens
Please try to arrive at the meeting point before 5pm for an important group meeting where you can meet the Chief Experience Officer (CEO) skipper and the other group members. Athens is the capital of Greece, the founding city of the Olympic games, and a city of culture, science and commerce. From the colourful markets, to the ancient monuments, to the hustle and bustle of Plateia Syntagmatos (Constitution Square), Athens is rich with history and an important influence on the development of Western civilization. Named after the goddess of wisdom Athena, Athens encircles eight hills within its borders. The most prominent of these, the Acropolis, stands as the ultimate architectural and artistic expression of the ancient Athenian spirit. Athens is a growing city, engulfing its neighbouring suburbs all the way to Piraeus, the city's port and your gateway to the Greek Isles.
Day 2-6 Northern Cyclades
Possible Island stops include: Syros, Kea, Kythnos, Mykonos, Hydra, Aegina. CYCLADES ISLANDS Located in the central and southern part of the Aegean Sea, there are 39 islands in the Cyclades of which 24 are inhabited. On these small islands where the past meets the present, one can find both peace and tranquility and colourful nightlife. The white heat of July and August is often relieved by the meltemi, a strong northerly wind that sweeps across the eastern coast of mainland Greece and the Cyclades. Narrow paths full of flowers, whitewashed houses, blue windows and white churches under the dazzling sun and complimented by golden beaches: this is one of those magical places where the reality outstrips the postcards. SYROS In Syros you experience authentic Greek culture, great eating, and a handful of small but pleasant beaches. Ermoupoli is capital of Cyclades and Syros. The main square of the town is called Plateia Miaouli. Surrounded by Town hall, cafeterias, bars and palm trees. Commonly described:"probably the most elegant square in Greece." Town hall is designed by German architect Ernest Tchiller. You will find Archaeological museum inside Town Hall. Syros has the first ever opera house of Greece, the Apollon theatre located close to main square. Apollon theatre is made from marble and limestone. Enjoy options of going on short hikes, visiting local markets and going SCUBA diving. HYDRA A stylish island where the rocky hillsides are lined with elegant white and pastel stone mansions that overlook a beautiful natural harbour. Starting in the 1950s, artists, writers, and filmmakers poured in, drawn by island's beauty. Hydra also offers a reprieve from the whizzing motorcycles that characterize most of the other Greek Islands, with no motorized transport except for a few municipal vehicles. Opt to travel by local taxi (donkey ride) through the winding streets. There are several great tavernas to eat at, some offering an experience where you dine in a local's home. AEGINA Once a principal maritime power and a major trade partner with Egypt and Phoenicia, Aegina is a humble island most known now for its pistachio production. On the west coast, the harbour of Aegina Town is lined with colourful little boats, bobbing placidly on turquoise water. Around the island, a few crumbling neoclassical buildings can still be seen. KEA The most northern island of the Cyclades, Kea has escaped the major ferry routes keeping it's charms away from most tourists. The lovely island is scattered with olive groves and orchards. Opt to visit the Stone Lion and stop by a family silversmith, your CEO can arrange a visit. End the day at a local taverna, where the food won't disappoint. KYTHNOS Kythnos welcomes you to a picturesque bay. There are old iron mining ruins that are of interest to travellers, but the highlight has to be the local hot springs. Graced by kings and emperors throughout the years, sunset or sunrise are great times to experience the tranquility of the area, taking you back in time. Please note: While it is our intention to adhere to the route described above, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. On Day 1 of your tour you will be advised of any amendments.
Day 7 Mykonos
Legendary both in ancient and modern times, Mykonos is one of the best-known Greek islands, and provides ample entertainment for history and party buffs alike. Just a short boat ride away from the main port lies Delos, legendary birthplace of Apollo and home of the Gods. As the most sacred island in the Aegean for ancient Greeks, Delos gave name to the Cyclades – that is, the islands encircling (kyklos) Delos. Mykonos town, as typical a whitewashed Greek island town can be, has long been famous for its nightlife, with bars and clubs filled with the beautiful of Europe rocking till dawn every night. And during the days, a short bus and boat ride takes you to some of the best—and craziest—beaches in all of Europe.
Day 8-13 Southern Cyclades
Possible island stops include: Naxos, Paros, Antiparos, Ios, Sifnos, Folegandros NAXOS Naxos town is a pretty, typical Greek Island town offering the usual charm. Visit the monument to Apollonius (Bacchus) situated on the headland as you approach the port from the NE. The monument was started in 530BC, but strangely never completed. The town also has a Venetian castle on the hill, and was once ruler of its surrounding islands leaving legacies of aristocracy. The 'labyrinth' street patterns exist here as a testament to the cunning of local inhabitants in their efforts to confuse and ward off piracy in past times. But that´s not all folks! Around the island you will find a lot of interesting places and we are offering to you a special roundtrip in Naxos just follow your skipper and you will see hidden areas and feel the atmosphere of Naxos!! The highlight of Naxos is going on an optional day trip guided by your CEO skipper. Rent cars (remember to bring your license) and explore the inns and outs of the the island. Stops include the Temple of Dimitra, visiting a local microbrewery, the Church of Drosiani - which has wall paintings dating back to the 6th century, stopping to take in the views of Mt. Zeus at Zas Cave, enjoying a meal at a local tavern owned by the town butcher, and finally ending the day at Apollonas beach. PAROS Livadhi is a small town on the east coast of Paros, easily accessible from the channel between Paros and Naxos. It's quaint, and provides a respite from other busier ports in the region. Sample the local cuisine at one of the various tavernas commanding superb views over the strait between these two large islands. Naousa lies centrally at the base of its very large bay on the north east end of Paros. It's another idyllic island town, with a historical port, featuring Venetian ruins. ANTIPAROS Antiparos Town lies at the westernmost end of the narrow straight between Antiparos and Paros. Hop on one of the hourly buses to the large cave deep inside the island, which is an excellent optional activity and easily reached by bus. The cave is fully fitted with staircases to the bottom, which is a 100m vertical drop. The stalagmites and stalactites are really visually striking. IOS Port Ios is situated at the far end of the excellently sheltered Ormos Iou on Ios' western side. Its very pretty, and the town port is in fine condition with considerable space. Take the enjoyable 25 minute walk to the old town of Charos at the top of the hill. Other options include visiting Homer's tomb or relaxing on the famous south-side beach, Magganari. SIFNOS An ideal island for walking, head for the trails and admire the views of olive groves and wild juniper. The island hosts a number of small, locally-owned and operated ceramic workshops, some of which are open to the public. It's well worth it to take something unique and authentic home with you. FOLEGANDROS One of the must see islands in the Cyclades, famous for one of the most breathtaking cities around, Hora. The capital town, located up in the hills, boasts a traffic-free main street with plenty of green spaces to explore. A great island for hiking and snorkelling opportunities. Photographers will love the classic whitewashed houses decorated with colourful bougainvillea.
Day 14 Santorini
Still shaky Santorini needs no introduction, being a 1 million year old volcano that remains in active/dormant state until today. Its breathtaking beauty both historically and geologically are awe inspiring making it one of life's true highlights. The island was home to a Minoan settlement that was obliterated by an eruption around 1650BC which sent tsunamis through the eastern Mediterranean. The colossal eruption displaced 30 cubic kilometres of earth jetting a cloud of ash 36 km into the sky creating the foundation of what we see today. Centrally located in the 300 metre deep 5 -mile wide crescent moon shaped caldera harbour are two new cones, Neas Palaias & Kammenis. The shape of the crater ring has constantly changed over the last 3000 years with several parts of the crater wall collapsing into the sea. Remarkably, the island has always been resettled due to the rich volcanic soil's fertile properties. The wines, tomatoes and cucumbers from this island are super tasty due to the soil composition and low rainfall. Visitors can make their way from sea level to the crater rim either by bus, gondola or even a donkey ride. Fira, the main town, sits perched on the edge of the caldera with breathtaking views of multi-coloured cliffs, sugar-cube architecture and great local markets for shopping.
Day 15 Santorini
'Departure day. Tour ends the morning of Day 15, if you would like to spend more time in Santorini we recommend booking more time on the island.'

Outgoing SEC Enforcement Director, Robert Khuzami, Is Likely To Be Replaced By His Assistant, George Canellos
FOX Business Network (FBN) Senior Correspondent Charlie Gasparino reports that outgoing Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami is likely to be replaced by his assistant George Canellos. Gasparino went on to report that Khuzami is looking to "go to a New York based law firm" after his departure from the SEC instead of a Wall Street focused firm because he's "very worried" about the "conflict of interest taint" that comes with working for a Wall Street firm. Watch the video below or click on the link:
On whether Robert Khuzami will work at a New York Law Firm:
"What we understand – there is an interesting bidding war, a lot of firms are interested in hiring Bob Khuzami for obvious reasons, now what we know is this – he's likely to go to a New York based law firm, maybe with a Washington office, maybe stays in Washington, but it's likely to be a New York based law firm as opposed to going back to a Wall Street firm… we're hearing this from people close to Khuzami he's very worried about this sort of taint, the conflict of interest taint, working for a Wall Street firm."
On who will replace Robert Khuzami as SEC Enforcement Director:
"Who is he going to be replaced by at the SEC – the name we keep hearing is a guy name George Canellos, he's his assistant. Now what's interesting about this – at the SEC I remember…they usually had a lot of home grown talent particularly go to the enforcement division, like Steve Cutler became Enforcement Director after Bill McLucas, and Dave Walker, they all came through the ranks of the enforcement division. This is different. What you have now is Canellos who used to work for Mary Jo White at the U.S. Attorney's office. It is like the U.S. Attorney's office from Manhattan is taken over the enforcement division at the SEC. It's an interesting dynamic."

The Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest of the eight planets in our Solar System. It is located between Mars and Venus, which are also terrestrial planets. Earth has a number of nicknames including the Blue Planet and Terra. The most remarkable thing about our planet is the life that thrives all over our planet. Not only are there plants, but there are also animals, sea creatures, birds, and other diverse species.
Civilizations throughout the centuries have had different names for our planet as well as various concepts of what it looked like. The Mayans believed that the Earth was flat and that there is a jaguar, known as a bacab, at each corner of the Earth, which held up the sky. Gaea represented the earth for the early Greeks; she was believed to have given birth to the universe in Greek mythology.
Earth's average distance from the Sun is 150 million kilometers. Astronomers call this distance 1 astronomical unit (AU), and then use this as a comparison for the other planets in the Solar System. For example, Mars is located 1.52 AU from the Sun, and Saturn is 9.58. It takes sunlight a full 8 minutes to go from the Sun to reach Earth.
The Earth rotates on its axis in less than 24 hours. It is actually 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. This is the sidereal day. The Earth orbits the Sun every 365.2564 days. It's this extra .2564 days that creates the need for leap years. That's why we tack on an extra day in February every year divisible by four unless it's divisible by 100 (1900, 2100, etc)… unless it's divisible by 400 (1600, 2000, etc).
Scientists have often tried to discover what makes earth such an ideal place for sustaining life. The Earth has been described as being in the habitable zone, which is a theoretical area in a Solar System where the conditions are optimal for the existence of life. Scientists are using the habitable zone to find extrasolar planets that may be able to support life.
Earth is also the only planet in our Solar System with tectonic plates. The plate tectonics help protect our planet from overheating like Venus because the carbon in plants makes its way back into the Earth and is recycled. Liquid water is also an important element for life. Just over 70% of Earth's surface area is water.
The air that we breath is mixture of gases. Usually the air composition is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% various other gases including: xenon, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, argon, neon, helium, and krypton. There are a few other trace gasses mixed in there, too. Let's not forget the water vapor, pollen, dust, and other solids that get mixed in there.
The majority of the planet itself is actually made of four basic materials. If you could separate the Earth out into piles of material, you'd get 32.1 % iron, 30.1% oxygen, 15.1% silicon, and 13.9% magnesium. Of course, most of this iron is actually down in the Earth's core. The core has never been sampled, but scientists think that it would be 88% iron.
Earth is the densest planet in the Solar System, with an average density of approximately 5520 kg/m 3, which is more than five times the density of water. The planet is so dense because it is composed of large amounts of iron. Most of the iron is concentrated in the core which is 88% iron. Because the planet is so dense, its gravity is great compared to its size.
The temperature on our planet is not as extreme as the temperature of the other planets. The lowest recorded temperature on Earth is approximately -89°C in Antarctica while the highest recorded temperature is 58°C. The diameter of the planet is 12,742 kilometers, and the volume is 1,080,000,000,000 km3.
The planet is not a perfect sphere. It is actually an oblate spheroid. That means it is squished at the poles, so it bulges out at the equator. This is caused by the speed of the Earth's rotation and is common with all the planets.
The Earth is 70% water. That kind of limits the places where we can live doesn't it? The atmosphere is thickest within the first 50 km of the surface, but it actually reaches out to about 10,000 km above the the planet. This outermost layer of the atmosphere is called the exosphere, and starts about 500 km above the surface of the Earth.
At this point, free-moving particles can actually escape the pull of Earth's gravity, and be blown away by the solar wind. Over 75% of the Earth's atmosphere is is contained within the first 11km. Above that the air becomes too thin to support most life.
Earth is thought to be the only planet in our solar system that has plate tectonics. There are multiple continental plates that are constantly moving and helping to shape and form our planet. These plates are parts of the Earth's crust that are floating on the molten core. This process has many important effects, but one of the most important ones is the recycling of carbon.
Over long periods of time, the remnants of this life, rich in carbon, are carried back into the interior of the Earth and recycled. This pulls carbon out of the atmosphere, which makes sure we don't get a runaway greenhouse effect. If other planets had these plates, there might be more habitable planets in our galaxy.
Our planet has one satellite, which is known simply as the Moon. Once scientists discovered that other planets also had moons our satellite's name was capitalized. The Moon is tidally locked with our planet, which means that it takes as long for it to orbit the Earth as it does for the satellite to rotate once. Because of this, the same side of the Moon is always facing our planet – although in reality we see more than 50% of the satellite due to several factors – so we never saw the other side of the Moon until we sent up a probe to take pictures.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Bengals jersey Well made jersey, runs small I ordered this jersey for my almost 2 year old son. I ordered it a 3t so that it would allow for room to grow for next year. He is not by any means a "big boy". It fits him now but not by much. It will be much too small by the time next season told around. September 16, 2014

Batman and Darth Vader Don Sharks for Lightsaber Combat Atop This Sugar-Coated Cake
Remember those wonderful illustrations of a lightsaber-wielding Batman engaging in combat with a shark by Andrew Zubko? The idea of the Caped Crusader bringing his war on crime away from Gotham City to both the Intergalactic Empire's numero uno badass and the most ruthless predator in the open seas was just too delicious for words. And now, the idea is delicious enough to eat.

So, even though I'm playing mostly renegade, I was benevolent enough to let a reporter on board, and she's asked me what she should focus on. I told her "Cerberus is lame, report on that" but I'm curious as to how each option (recruitment or Cerberus) affects War Asset collection.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
She'll occasionally ask for interviews. The results of these interviews can effect other war assets.
For instance there is one after curing the genophage. Using the Paragon dialog option drives up recruiting for the Krogan Clans asset.
There's also an instance where she's arguing with a random crew member. You have an option of killing one of her stories if you take the crew member's side.
It doesn't make a difference to your war assets one way or the other. Only your actual interviews do. However, depending on your answer to her on other occasions depends on whether you get paragon or renegade points and added reputation.
I got +10 for letting her on the Normandy.

32 CFR 327.6 - Collecting personal information.
(a) Collect directly from the individual. To the greatest extent practicable, collect personal information directly from the individual to whom it pertains if the information may be used in making any determination about the rights, privileges, or benefits of the individual under any Federal program.
(b) Collecting personal information from third parties. It may not be practical to collect personal information directly from an individual in all cases. Some examples of this are:
(1) Verification of information through third party sources for security or employment suitability determinations;
(2) Seeking third party opinions such as supervisory comments as to job knowledge, duty performance, or other opinion-type evaluations;
(3) When obtaining the needed information directly from the individual is exceptionally difficult or may result in unreasonable costs; or
(4) Contacting a third party at the request of the individual to furnish certain information such as exact periods of employment, termination dates, copies of records, or similar information.
(1) It is unlawful for DeCA to deny an individual any right, benefit, or privilege provided by law because an individual refuses to provide his or her SSN. Executive Order 9397 authorizes solicitation and use of SSNs as numerical identifiers for individuals in most Federal record systems, however, it does not provide mandatory authority for soliciting.
(3) Once the SSN has been furnished for the purpose of establishing a record, the notification in paragraph (c)(2) of this section is not required if the individual is only requested to furnish or verify the SSNs for identification purposes in connection with the normal use of his or her records.
(d) Privacy act statements. When a DeCA individual is requested to furnish personal information about himself or herself for inclusion in a system of records, a Privacy Act Statement is required regardless of the medium used to collect the information, e.g., forms, personal interviews, telephonic interviews. The statement allows the individual to make a decision whether to provide the information requested. The statement will be concise, curent, and easily understood and must state whether providing the information is voluntary or mandatory. if furnishing the data is mandatory, a Federal statute, Executive Order, regulation or other lawful order must be cited. If the personal information solicited is not to be incorporated into a DeCA system of records, a PA statement is not required. This information obtained without the PA statement will not be incorporated into any DeCA systems of records.
(i) The specific Federal statute or Executive Order that authorized collection of the requested information;
(2) Forms. When DeCA uses forms to collect personal information, placement of the Privacy Act advisory statement should be in the following order of preference:
(i) Below the title of the form and positioned so the individual will be advised of the requested information,
(3) Forms issued by non-DoD Activities. Ensure that the statement prepared by the originating agency on their forms is adequate for the purpose for which DeCA will use the form. If the statement is inadequate, DeCA will prepare a new statement before using the form. Forms issued by other agencies not subject to the Privacy Act but its use requires DeCA to collect personal data, a Privacy Act Statement will be added.
Title 32 published on 2014-07-01.
No entries appear in the Federal Register after this date, for 32 CFR Part 327.

ETSU women come up short at A-Sun championship
Thursday, April 14, 2011
DELAND, Fla. (April 13, 2011) - The ETSU women's golf team was unable to pull off a comeback in the third and final round of the Atlantic Sun Conference Championships, watching as host Stetson took advantage of its home-course advantage Wednesday to win by 12 strokes over second place Campbell at the Victoria Hills Golf Club.
The Buccaneers, who entered the day just three strokes back of first place, struggled in the final round and were never able to make a run at the leaders. By contrast, Stetson posted a final round score of 291, which was 12 strokes better than any other team on the day, and ended the event at 894.
ETSU finished the tournament tied for third with Kennesaw State at 917.
"It's disappointing that we weren't able to put three rounds together," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton. "I was still really proud of how our team overcame adversity this year and worked hard. We had great improvements during the spring, and even though we didn't reach our ultimate goal of advancing to regionals or nationals, I'm still very happy with what this group accomplished."
Stetson ultimately swept the event, as the Hatters' Alex Buelow captured the individual title thanks to a three-round score of 216 (71-74-71). Buelow finished five strokes better than Florida Gulf Coast's Fabienne Haremza.
ETSU was led by freshman Larissa Steinfeldt (Eschweiler, Germany), who finished tied for seventh at 226 (75-73-78). Other ETSU results included a tie for 14th by senior Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria), and a tie for 15th for freshman Sian Evans (Gillingham, England). Senior Mayte Vizcarrondo (Cadiz, Spain) ended the event tied for 25th.

A sheriff�s deputy shot and killed a California man Saturday while responding to a report of a man yelling and screaming in a Wildewood condominium parking lot, according to the St. Mary�s County Sheriff�s Office.
Cpl. Michael George, assigned to the special operations division of the sheriff�s office, responded to Sugar Maple Court in California at approximately 1:56 a.m., according to the sheriff�s office.
Once there, George and Cpl. William Rishel, who arrived separately, were confronted by Stephen Robert Wycoff, 39, outside the home in an entranceway shared by other condominiums, according to Sheriff Tim Cameron.
Cameron (R) said Wycoff attacked the deputies and that during the struggle George discharged his firearm, fatally wounding Wycoff. Cameron would not comment Tuesday on whether Wycoff, who was pronounced dead at the scene, had any weapon.
A neighbor at the Wildewood condominium complex said Tuesday outside near where the incident occurred that Wycoff had moved to St. Mary�s County from Colorado about six to eight months ago and lived in the condo with his father.
�His dad was real nice,� the neighbor said, adding that he would say hello to the two but did not know them well.
Detectives from the St. Mary�s Bureau of Criminal Investigations are conducting a criminal investigation at the same time that the sheriff�s office of professional responsibilities conducts an administrative investigation, Cameron said. Once those investigations are concluded, the state�s attorney�s office will conduct an independent review, he said.
�It�s hard to put a time frame on it,� Cameron said of the length of the investigations. �I want to be as accurate and thorough as possible.�
Cameron said a neighbor called 911 in the early morning hours Saturday to report a person causing a disturbance, including screaming and yelling, in the parking lot of the condominiums.
Deputies George and Rishel, who were both on duty and in uniform, responded to the call and the confrontation with Wycoff occurred, Cameron said.
He said the man�s father was inside of the condominium during the incident.
The sheriff would not comment on specifics of the struggle between the two deputies and Wycoff or say how many shots were fired, citing the ongoing investigations.
Cameron said no other deputies arrived until after the shooting.
George, a nine-year veteran of the sheriff�s office, and Rishel, who has been with the department since 2004, were both transported to a local hospital where they were treated and released. The sheriff�s office would not comment on the nature of the deputies� injuries.
Both officers have been put on administrative leave, as is routine after such an incident, Cameron said.
The sheriff said Wycoff�s body has been taken to the state medical examiners office for a postmortem exam, where toxicology and other forensic evidence would be revealed. He expected to release a public statement after the investigations are completed.

From Intelligent Design to BioLogos
In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
Many barriers to the acceptance of the BioLogos model by evangelical Christians arise from popular misconceptions about the nature of science and its relationship to God's action in our world.
Science and Religion scholar Denis Alexander presents two models for relating Adam and Eve with the findings of contemporary anthropology. This essay was presented at the November 2010 Theology of Celebration Workshop
Biologist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Denis Venema examines the interaction between RTB literature and several lines of genetics-based evidence for common ancestry. In so doing, he also addresses the scientific robustness and reliability of the RTB model.
This article provides an overview of genomics evidence for common ancestry and hominid population sizes, and briefly discusses the implications of these lines of evidence for scientific concordist approaches to the Genesis narratives.
Geologists Davidson and Wolgemuth address the widely promulgated notion that the Flood can account for the earth's complex geology, and that all genuine Christians should accept this viewpoint.
Renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke considers eleven barriers that prevent evangelical theologians from accepting evolution as a possible means of creation and what these barriers tell us about the tensions perceived by many Evangelicals between science and faith. Waltke's work was based on a survey sent to members of the Fellowship of Evangelical Seminary Presidents and their faculty.
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.

Night Train Murders
For the screenshots and the review of the previous Blue Underground DVD, click here.
One of the reasons the 70s were the golden age of the exploitation film probably has to do largely with the differing (and occasionally nonexistent) copyright legislation around the world. Whether Spider-man is raping and killing women in a Turkish exploitation film or the umpteenth Romero-inspired zombie gut-muncher from Italy, the differing copyright laws around the world were some of the biggest contributors to the rich tapestry of 70s exploitation cinema. If nothing else, these rip-offs were usually a decent substitute when sequels are not immediately (or never) forthcoming.
One such film inspired by a successful American movie, The Last House on the Left in this case, is Night Train Murders. Taking the Die Hard approach to filmmaking and recycling an old premise in a new location, this is a rare case where the film makers had a legitimate shot at improving on the source material: while undeniably effective and influential, Wes Cravens debut feature was about as raw and unpolished as a film could be and still be considered a genuine movie. Unfortunately, Night Train takes far too long to leave the station and when it does eventually get under steam youll probably be ready to trade in your ticket to ride.
The Story
Its Christmas Eve and students Lisa (Laura DAngelo) and Margaret (Irene Miracle) are preparing for their holiday break. Theyll be taking the evening train from Germany to the home of Lisas parents in Italy, despite Margarets mothers reservations about two young girls traveling alone by train. Her fears prove to be grimly prophetic; at the station, a couple of thugs Blackie (Flavio Bucci) and Curly (Gianfresco De Grassi) causing trouble manage to evade the station police by ducking on to the same train as the girls. They wander back to the middle class cabin, being disruptive to the high class passengers as they go. Perhaps attracted to the sense of danger they represent, the girls help them scam their way through a ticket check. When it becomes apparent that the goons want more from the girls than they are willing to give, Blackie and Curly bail setting their sights on a mysterious Blonde Woman (Macha Meril). Blackie ambushes the woman in the bathroom. At first she resists, but soon reveals that shes every bit a depraved as the two thugs.
When the train is delayed by a bomb threat the girls sneak off and transfer to a different train, hoping to make up for lost time. The woman and the thugs have a similar idea and occupy the girls cabin, subjecting them to a horrible night of humiliation, sexual assault and brutalization. The assailants take it a step farther than they intended; Lisa is accidentally murdered and Margaret dies while attempting to escape. The killers clean up the cabin and dump all their victims belongings out the window. The train eventually arrives at its destination and, in some logical gymnastics that must have left the screenwriters panting, the killers find themselves in the home of Margarets parents. It isnt long before their heinous crimes are found out and the father wreaks what has to be the most truncated rampage of revenge the silver screen has ever witnessed.
Even a brief plot synopsis reveals the similarities between Night Train and Last House. I always try to take and movie on its own terms but the very obvious lifting from Craven makes it nearly impossible in this case. While Night Train is, from a technical perspective, a far more accomplished film, it actually winds up being far less effective at what its trying to do. There was a sense of verisimilitude in Cravens low budget grunginess thats missing in Lados stylish lighting choices and more professionally-shot compositions. Whereas Craven constructed his screenplay so that the social commentary flowed naturally from the story, Lado and his co-writers have far too many scenes of turgid dialogue trying to pound home poorly conceived political subtexts. Lisas parents host a dinner party where the guests pompously expound on various political issues and the blonde woman on the train is enjoying a political debate with her cabin mates before she falls in with the thugs. Theres an attempt at commentary about how the bourgeoisies (represented by the woman) manipulate the poor (thugs) into doing their bidding. If there was ever a time that a message like that would play its now, in the middle of a deep recession and cultural clash between haves and have-nots. It doesnt really work, though. The woman is first victimized, sexually, by Blackie. While she certainly pushes their behaviors from obnoxious, but relatively harmless, thuggery into full-on rape and murder, she really isnt the instigator. From a purely narrative standpoint her actions dont really make sense, either: she goes from polite political discussion, to being assaulted, to sexual depravity and murder with nothing to connect the disparate actions other than the filmmakers desire to make a point.
The structure of a revenge film like this affords filmmakers a major short cut if theyre smart enough to use it: less effort need be expended to ensure the main characters are sympathetic. When they fall victim to the inevitable torments the filmmakers have planned, our basic human empathy kicks in and we feel sorry for them regardless. Despite this easy out, the filmmakers arent able to make Lisa and Margaret very sympathetic characters. Their motivations from scene to scene seem to be whatever it takes to propel the movie forward. Compare them to Phyllis and Mari from Last House who, despite having comparatively less screen time, are far more interesting characters. We actually knew a bit about them so, when theyre abducted by Krug, we feel for them. Very basic information about Lisa and Margaret is poorly presented and then contradicted midway through, despite Lado spending far more screen time getting to the money scenes. The screenplay feels like a lazy hodgepodge thats trying to burn up enough screen time to fill out a feature length run time.
Most exploitation films have their moment, that one over-the-top scene that sets it apart from other films in the genre. Usually its a particularly graphic murder or scene of depraved sexuality, but sometimes its simply a total WTF, head scratcher. Night Train opts for a moment of shocking gore but the moment in question, Lisas murder, is not nearly as shocking or graphic as it couldve been and the way the scene is framed prevents the moment from lingering. Compare the aftermath of Lisas murder with the aftermath of Maris rape in Last House: the rape is followed by some quiet moments for the full weight of the scene to really sink in. In contrast, Night Train follows its big scene with some frantic action. Its too soon after the fact and dulls the potential impact of the scene.
Theres not really much more to say about Night Train. Despite its pretentions to both thriller and political statement its not terribly effective at accomplishing either. I really would have preferred the film have the courage to simply be a sleazy thriller rather than trying to attach some deeper meaning to the carnage. In the end its a serviceable, but mostly forgettable, rip off of a far more effective film. Hard to believe a film where the centerpiece is a woman getting stabbed in the crotch could fail to elicit much of a reaction.
Image Quality
The film may not be stellar but its given a presentation that far exceeds the value of the film itself. Im starting to sound like a broken record, but the quality of Blue Undergrounds Blu-ray transfers is simply astonishing. Scenes drenched in red light display no bleeding or smearing and the deep murky blues never suffer from compression problems. Theres a fair amount of grain, but detail never suffers; distant signs in the train station were clearly legible while I was sitting on the couch. What amazes me most is not the actual transfer, which is beyond reproach, but the effort it must take to locate such pristine source materials.
The DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track is not quite as revelatory as the video quality, but still leagues better than I would have expected. The only real issues with the high end, which is used mainly by the music; Ennio Morricones harmonica-heavy score can sound shrill as the higher notes are hit. Theres also a ridiculously upbeat song by Demis Roussos that bookends the film over the credits, and as the singer affects a falsetto pitch the audio tends towards distortion. Dialogue has the hollow, canned sound that youd expect but dialogue is always easy to discern. The audio mix is pretty minimalist when it comes to sound effects. There are no other audio language tracks included for comparison.
Supplemental Material
Co-writer and Director Aldo Lado offers his insight into Night Train Murders in the featurette Riding the Night Train (14:57). He starts off by acknowledging the similarities between Night Train and Last House but largely dismisses them out of hand, claiming he never saw Last House. Whether he did or did not is pretty moot considering the similarities too obvious to be ignored (he also skims over the fact that the producer made reference to Last House when pitching the project). One point I do agree with is that a film that is as sickening as Night Train cant credibly be blamed for glorifying violence.
Night Train Murders was apparently re-titled Last Stop on the Night Train in the US, as evidenced by the US Theatrical Trailer (2:33). It looks like the title was changed just prior to release, given the completely different font used for the first and last parts of the title. The ad shamelessly invokes Last House and Death Wish.
The longer, less sensationalistic International Trailer (3:49) actually takes time to set up the premise of the film. Its a better trailer, by far, but I can see how it wouldnt have sold the film to the grindhouse market in the States.
Two Radio Spots (0:30 each) from the US ad campaign hilariously make no reference to the film being set on a train. The new title, New House on the Left, and the canned doorbell sound effect punctuating the ads imply the complete opposite, in fact.
Usually Id be pretty blasé about a Poster and Stills Gallery, but the marketing for Night Train in the various territories alternates between fascinating and outright hilarious. You have to love how its advertised as Last House Part II, complete with picture of David Hess and Godfather font rip-off, how Irene Miracles miraculously wearing panties during her escape scene on the German lobby cards or the Anglicizing of the casts names on the American ad materials.
Final Thoughts
It spends so much time invoking Last House on the Left that its really hard to evaluate Night Train Murders on its own merits. From a technical standpoint its certainly more polished than Last House, but it winds up being far less effective. Even its one big, showstopper moment doesnt really have much impact. Its bleak, depressing and sleazy but not particularly envelope pushing. The storys a total mess and the movie is not particularly well paced. While its presentation is superb, this Blu-ray release is for hardcore fans only.

FINALLY, a sober review of this film. I've come upon review after review trying to claim this film is superior and you know it comes down to something like resentment over the film's tagline (I've actually heard people say I Spit on Your Grave is a good film because it doesn't feel like a film and therefore, in comparison and because of the tagline, Last House was a failure) or prefering this due to its' more polished style or being Italian.

UPDATE: Ice-out declared for Winnipesaukee
Previous story follows:
The Ice Out declaration for Lake Winnipesaukee is expected any time now.
Pilot David Emerson of Emerson Aviation circled the skies over Lake Winnipesaukee on Tuesday afternoon and while The Broads area of the big lake were clear, some chunks of ice were seen clustering in Wolfeboro Bay, at Keniston and Melody islands, with floating ice around Three-Mile Island in Center Harbor.
"Right now, Wolfeboro Bay is the last hold out," said Emerson, who reported that strong winds out of the south were blowing ice towards the bay. Ice was clustering at the larger dock where the M/S Mount Washington docks in Wolfeboro.
On Tuesday, Emerson said he would fly over the lake once more in late afternoon, and at first light on Wednesday. He anticipated that Ice Out would be called within 12 to 24 hours, or on Wednesday.
According to winnipesaukee.com, a plentiful online resource for data, web cams and blogs related to Lake Winnipesaukee, Ice Out occurs when the ice that has covered the Lake since late December or early January melts enough to allow the M/S Mount Washington cruise ship to navigate among Alton Bay, Center Harbor, Weirs Beach, Meredith and Wolfeboro.
"Ice Out is greatly anticipated by residents and visitors since it is the traditional start of the spring season and many Islanders regain water access to their cottages," according to the site. The site also hosts the annual "Ice Out" Guess Contest, where contestants declare the date and time when the lake will be clear.
According to the site, the date has been observed and recorded since 1888.
The setting of the exact date and time is non-scientific and is now determined by an observer in a small plane from Emerson Aviation - usually Dave Emerson - who flies over the lake several times a day. When the pilot makes the Ice Out call it is considered official.
Emerson said Ice Out during the third week of April is "very normal." Last year, Ice Out was declared on March 23, the year prior on April 19. The earliest Ice Out was the first, recorded on May 12, 1888. email@example.com

I'm not saying he's gonna be a great qb but lets just give him a chance. Unfortunately by the time they get some players in here that can help it might be too late for him.

Anti-ageingTreatments to turn back timeBetween our state-of-the-art laser suite, skincare professionals and 20-year record with injectables, we offer a comprehensive range of anti-ageing treatments. And if you need proof that they work, just ask Clinical Director Jo Martin, who's often mistaken for someone 15 years younger.
Safe, qualified hands1 in 3 clients come to us after a disappointing treatment elsewhere
You no longer need a certificate, a licence, or any kind of qualification to point a laser at somebody and switch it on. That means you need to be extra-careful who you choose to trust with your appearance.
We're registered with the Care Quality Commission, which means we're regulated, checked and inspected by the government. Our staff are NHS and BTEC-qualified, and actually give training to other practices – we offer the only BTEC laser training in the UK.
After 20 years and more than 200,000 treatments, our insurance slate is flawless. Can your local cosmetic start-up say the same?
I thought you had to go to London for the best treatment. Then I discovered that Mapperley Park could deliver even the most recent high-tech treatments on my doorstep.
Miss R, Derby
Relax. You're in the safest hands.
Skin Clinic Nottingham
Mapperley Park is one of the longest-established and most experienced cosmetic medicine clinics in the country. We've been carrying out safe, ethical procedures at our state-of-the-art Nottingham facility for more than twenty years. To put that in perspective, we bought our first laser the year Charles and Diana filed for divorce.
More than 200,000 treatments later, we offer expertise so well-renowned that other clinics come to us for training. In fact, we deliver the only medical laser qualification in the UK, issuing certificates to surgeons, doctors, nurses and beauty specialists.
Choose the right place, first time
Sadly, one in three of our patients comes to us after a disappointing or failed treatment at another clinic. Unfortunately, the law no longer requires any kind of qualification to practice cosmetic medicine – even to operate a laser – which is why it's so important to entrust your body to trained professionals.
Our family-run clinic employs only qualified, experienced practitioners –including NHS trained doctors, surgeons and nurses. We're registered with the Government's Care Quality Commission, and were asked to contribute to the Keogh review on regulating the cosmetic industry.
Come in and see us
We offer a wide range of cosmetic procedures, from injectables and fillers to laser treatments, scientific skincare – and even minor surgery. Whichever treatment you choose, the most important factor is who you trust with the only body you'll ever have.
We hope to see you soon.
