As part of the project's safety effort to maintain shoulder access during construction, crews will be re-striping lanes on the I-15 converting the five-lane stretch to four lanes to maintain shoulder access for emergency responders. In anticipation of the 4th of July holiday weekend traffic flow, Northbound lanes will temporarily revert back to five lanes during this time and return to four lanes on July 7th until early December 2014.
The Cajon Pass Design-Build project will extend pavement service life with minimal maintenance expenditures on Interstate 15 (I-15) between Kenwood Ave to the south, to 2 miles south of Highway 395 to the north. The I-15 Cajon Pass Rehabilitation Project consists of roadway pavement reconstruction and restoration which began spring 2014 and is scheduled for completion summer 2016.
Traffic re-striping will begin Sunday June 15th and end by Wednesday June 18th. Construction work will be conducted overnight between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. NOTE: Information disclosed is subject to change due to inclement weather conditions, equipment problems, or emergency situations.

We only get together at weddings and funerals. Why is that? Families need to make more of an effort so these words aren't spoken. Everyone is too busy today.
Kudos to the SUNY Plattsburgh Police for finally enforcing the "right only" rule at the corner of George Angell Drive and Rugar. Over the years, I have seen many accidents and witnessed first hand students almost getting hit in the crosswalk.
Thank you to all the people who helped me at my accident on Smithfield Boulevard on Dec. 16: the lady who stopped to ask if I was OK, the man with the emergency vehicle, CVPH ambulance squad and State Police.
I wish Plattsburgh would keep up its streets. Route 374 is nice and clear, then you have to plow snow with your car from the light from Boynton Avenue on.
Plenty of jobs? Why didn't you inquire as to the pay these wonderful jobs offer before you declare the economy in the North Country is so good? We need real jobs, not sweatshop jobs.
If the media could come together and stop glorifying mass murderers when such tragedies strike ... I wish the media would not report names, individual's background and the quest for what they are thinking.

Exclusive: Genesys caters enterprise-friendly meetings
Meeting Center 4.0 eases deployment and use, while sparing network resources
When I'm invited to online meetings, they're often hosted with WebEx, Microsoft Live Meeting, or Adobe Breeze. More and more, however, Genesys appears in the URL -- which shouldn't surprise those in the corporate world. This company's been devoted exclusively to business conferencing for 20 years; Genesys Meeting Center 4.0 proves why it has succeeded for so long.
Release 4.0 should also please IT and help desk staff. It no longer uses pop-up windows or cookies -- and it's very bandwidth-friendly, typically pushing minuscule bytes over your network.
Genesys Meeting Center forms the hub for meeting organizers. It allowed me to easily control Web, voice, and videoconferencing features from various tool palettes. Although I had no trouble getting around, there are quick-start menus that guide first-time users on how to start or go into a meeting. Additionally, the new software version can be deployed throughout an organization with standard tools, such as Altiris or Microsoft SMS. Importantly, it offers a customized UI which allows admins to specify available features.
The Web portion offers what I've come to expect: the ability to deliver PowerPoint presentations, share any document or application in real time, take participants on guided Web tours, and conduct live surveys or quizzes.
Click for larger view.
For convenience, participants can switch between the PSTN and VoIP audio at any time during a session.
Overall, the system performed well and allowed me to complete tasks with minimal steps. For instance, setting up a meeting and sending invitations requires just two steps. Moreover, I invited people while in a meeting using MSN Instant Messenger.
Yet with this simplicity Genesys didn't skip much. On the advanced side, you can create custom forms to pre-register users for meetings. Plus, as meetings progress, the moderator can gather and pace participants in different audio subconference rooms for private conversations. Archiving of meetings as well as secure access -- via SSL -- are provided.
The final thing Genesys has done right is its pricing model. All the features are available for one flat rate, per participant, billed per minute.
All in all, Genesys Meeting Center 4.0 -- with its new interface, faster meeting startup, and complete features for a flat fee -- is an excellent choice for large enterprise customers.

Track & Field set six records at Wofford
April 08, 2013
Wofford, SC-The Salem College track & field team set six new school records this past weekend at the Wofford Invitational. Victoria Chaffers (Deltona, FL) was the member of three different relays that set school marks. The team finished in 13th of 25 programs.
Heather Huffman (Winston-Salem, NC) crushed her existing 100 meter record with a 13.01 second race. Stephanie Hubbard (Sanford, NC) also crushed her own javelin record with a throw of 34.82 meters. She finished in 3rd-place overall out of 26 competitors in the event. Elizabeth Penley (Newport, NC) broke her own shot put record with a throw of 7.97 meters.
The 4X400 meter relay consisting of Chaffers, Cristi Magracia (Lemon Grove, CA), Michelle Lawler (Gibsonville, NC), and Sawyer Ferguson (Billings, MT) beat the existing school record by 7 seconds with a time of 4:36.55. The distance medley set the school record in a time of 14:32.33 with a team of Magracia, Chaffers, Hubbard, and Natali Olveda (Salinas, CA). The last school record was in the sprint medley, which finished in 3rd-place. That relays had a team of Huffman, Ferguson, Lawler, and Chaffers and ran 4:48.23.
The Spirits will return to the track this weekend at the Furman Blue Shoes Invitational.

Florida leads the nation when it comes to pedestrians hit by cars. Now there is an important move to keep walkers and bikers safe in Bonita Springs. The City of Bonita Springs installed a new pedestrian-friendly bridge on the busy West Terry Street near Bonita Springs Middle.
"It was a great thing today - to see how this is going to help kids be safe - help parents to know their children are returning home," said Bonita Springs Mayor Ben Nelson.
But the protected bridge - a simple steel walkway – is not just for students in Bonita. It's for anyone trying to get around safely.
"When you build an infrastructure like this, it really pays off. It comes back as a community dividend - improves quality of life, people feel freer to use the sidewalks outside," Mayor Nelson said.
This is part of a bigger safety project along a stretch of Old 41 in Bonita.
Last year, the city installed three solar powered crosswalks in the vicinity where there have been a number of pedestrian-vehicle crashes over the last couple of years.
There is an ongoing effort to educate everyone about the importance of pedestrian safety.
Bonita Middle School students will receive information about pedestrian safety and the new bridge. Leaders say they hope it will lead to a safer community all around.

Press Release Kansas State University:
Head Coach Bill SnyderOn going to four straight bowl games…"I'm pleased certainly for the youngsters in ourprogram and the people that work so hard and commit so much of their time,effort and emotions into this team. Certainly for the fan base, it is importantto them, and they like that. For so many, it is the vacation time. I think itis meaningful in that respect. As it relates to the rest of college footballitself, it is better than not having any other opportunity, for sure. I thinkit is a positive accomplishment for the young people in the program that havebeen here for however many years that we have been back."On K-State's recent struggles in bowl games…"If I had a genuinely accurate answer, you would not have to ask thequestion. So it is obvious that one of my many failings is that I do not havethe answer to that. It could be a multitude of things, and perhaps it is, ormaybe it something simple that I am overlooking. Number one, I think we haveplayed tremendously talented football teams. Sometimes, I think, just the depthsegment of it catches up with you, but that should be an accurate assessmentfor most teams, not just ourselves. The bottom line is I really do not know."On if it would be positive to end the bowl losing streak…"Well of course, but I do not think about it along those lines. I think ourplayers do. This is really important for them because they, in their tenurehere, have not been successful in the last game of the season or the bowl gamesthat they have participated in. I think it really is significant to them, thatis my guess. I am committed to trying to be successful in the ballgame just asI would be in any other game that we participate in. This one is no differentthan that."On refocusing on team goals following the 2-4 start…"I think the hardest part, as it relates to this present season, was to getthem to maybe get away from that and get focused on the things that allow themto get where they want to go. You have heard me say that so many times that Ireally am a strong believer that to get the pie in the sky, whatever that goalmay be, then all the things that allow me to climb the stairs to get there arenot on my mind. That was the hardest part, getting them to reinvest in whatthose goals and intrinsic values were that would allow us to get there. It wasnot about readjusting what their ultimate goals were. It was more on gettingthem invested in what our goals were and the stair-step process – what neededto take place in order to have a chance to obtain what they wanted to obtain."On playing three of the conference's top teams so early in the season…"I guess if I could go back and redo it – but that is hindsight andstrictly hindsight – I might want to alter it a little bit. But, everybody hasscheduling issues and nobody knows when they make out those schedules who isgoing to be what. As I have said, in this conference anybody can get anybody onany given day, and that is true. It pops up on somewhat regular basis in ourconference and in other conferences as well. Simple answer is, in hindsight, Iwould tweak it a little bit."On the week following the end of the regular season and prior to bowlannouncements…"I have my feelings about it, and I think other coaches have their feelingsabout it, as well as support staff and the players. I think everybody views itprobably a little bit differently. Coaches are gone to get out on the roadimmediately to recruit and give the players the opportunity to not practice thefirst four days of the week, get a little rest and focus a little morediligently on academics and the other things that are important to them. Myguess is, and I am thinking on my own feelings, that there is an empty feelingthere. When you are doing it, you would say you would pay dearly for an hour tojust do nothing, but now I can go home at a reasonable hour right now and yetthere is a feeling of emptiness. I think everybody is different in how theyview it."On this upcoming weekend's schedule…"Well this weekend, because we really do not know who the opponent will bein the bowl game, we will practice Friday and Saturday. We will have arecruiting weekend, so we will have eight or 10 young people here with theirfamilies on the campus over the weekend. We will juggle both our practice timeand our opportunities to spend time with those other families. The practiceswill be centered around just getting back fundamentally in terms of the thingsthat we do because we do not really have a firm grasp on who that opponent willbe. Since we have been on for five days or so, we do want to get back to stressthe fundamentals and the techniques of the game. That is where the focus willbe."On the progression of Daniel Sams and Jake Waters offensively during theseason…"I think it has been rather steady. Like anything else, there was a littlebit of up and downs over the course of the year. We had some issues withturnovers probably more than anything else, but I think they have progressedthroughout the course of the season. I think they have gotten better in termsof understanding what the offense is about, understanding the cooperativeaspect – what the other 10 guys are doing on the field both in the practiceenvironment and on the game field. I think they both developed in terms ofleadership and have become vastly more involved in that. So yes, they have madesignificant improvement. Both of them have." On if they have ever practiced the Auburn-Alabama finish…"I only saw the replay of it and not the actual thing. We practice it everyday. We practice a lot of things that never happen and players just look at melike, 'Are you absolutely out of your mind?' As soon as we do our stretchingand start the practice, the very first thing we get into are field goals anddefending field goals. We have our one's hit from the left hash. The first isagainst a block and the second is against a cover and in the cover we have areturn man down at the other end and he reacts. They take two reps there andthen we go to the middle of the field and our number two's hit and cover. Wethen move to the right hash and the one's go again and kick against the rushand then they kick against the return and cover. We do that every day, but likeI said, we do a lot of things that they scratch their heads about."Junior Defensive End Ryan MuellerOn not having practice for four or five days…"Coach gave us a little time off, which has been nice, but we still havebeen working out with Coach (Chris) Dawson. He has been keeping us maintainedwhile we have not been practicing since we do not know who we will play yet. Ithas been nice to be able to focus and to be able to take care of some studiesand get ready for this bowl prep."On finding out on Sunday who the team will face in a bowl game…"It is certainly exciting not knowing. There is not a clear cut favorite –things could happen. I know that we will all be watching a lot of games thisweekend because that can have an impact on where we go and who we couldpotentially play. So it is very exciting, and I am looking forward to hearingthe results."On where the improvement came from defensively after being 2-4…"To choose a particular game would probably be a little bit difficult, butit was just a collective effort by the team and something that we were strivingfor. We were not happy starting out 2-4 and all of the guys on this team have,well for the most part, most of the guys on this team have been to a bowl gamebefore, and we don't know what it is like to sit at home during this time andrealize that the season is over. That is just something that we did not want tohappen, and I am glad that we pulled it together and finished the season on agood note and are bowl eligible."Junior Linebacker Jonathan TrumanOn having time off of practice…"We are always on the go. When you have a few days to relax and focus onyour studies, it is nice."On what the team is doing this week to prepare for the bowl game…"We have some practices this weekend. We have had time off this week. Wedon't know who we are playing, we don't know where we are playing. We are stillgoing to take advantage of this time to look at ourselves and improveourselves."On if there is any anticipation on finding out who K-State is playing…"Yes, I would love to know as soon as I can. It is odd with this period oftime when you know you are playing a bowl game, but not who you are playingagainst. We know who we are playing next year already, but we do not who we areplaying in the bowl game."On what the year was like starting 2-4 and going 5-1 in the second half…"It was frustrating at first for everybody. It was a time of adversity thatreally tested us. I am proud of my team for turning it around, going 5-1 afterwe went 2-4. It was just important to us to get things corrected and to turnthe season around in a positive way."On the level of desperation to win a bowl game…"It is very high. Nobody on our team has won a bowl game, with theexception of the coaches. We need it. We want it really bad."

im not arguing with anyone, im just not gonna be called an idiot for asking a question.
August 21, 2014, 08:14:32 AM
Topic: Canon EOS 7D Mark II Spec List [CR2] (Read 64908 times)
cant i ask why 6d hasnt got the features the 7d has? if im paying more money for something that is supposedly above it in a camera range (going from 1-7, generally the cameras get better and more expensive) then surely i can ask why the 7d has so many more af points or a better body casing or a better iso performance etc etc
the people on here are seriously up themselves sometimes. im guesing that comes with the vast disposable incomes most seem to have.
You can ask anything you want.
Here are the answers:
In the 6D you are paying for a full frame sensor, which is much more expensive to manufacture than an APS-C sensor. This has been discussed on this forum and on others many, many times. Canon even has a white paper on it.
Model numbers don't have to mean anything. There is no law that says that the order in which cameras are named makes one better than another. People get hung up on the numbers. What's the point? Who cares? Nobody even knows the model numbers except geeks anyway.
pictures sharp. life not so much. www.unfocusedmg.com
After seeing this spec list, being an owner of the 5D3 and 7D.....I'll stick with what I have....only if the ISO is dramatically better then what it is now and only better than the 5D3 will I think about buying a new crop body in the 7DII.. not really intrested in the added AF..could care less about the GPS and WI-FI..my main concern is the sensor quality, dynamic range, ISO performance and zone metering...if its built like the 7D Im cool with that..perhaps put a better humb wheel in...
Canon cannot put the same AF-system like the 5D Mark III´s in an 7D Mark II for the mentioned price. So don´t expect it.
Canon could put the 1DX's AF system in every body they've got. The AF components are among the cheapest to manufacture. Like everyone else they use AF specs to segment the market, but the 1DX AF is not actually hundreds of dollars more to manufacture then the Rebel's AF.
Whether or not they will put the 5D3's AF in the 7D2 remains to be seen.
Whether or not they will put the 5D3's AF in the 7D2 remains to be seen.
Completely different size aps-c vs ff... but that is not necessarily a bad thing since it's probably easier to put a larger af point spread in a aps-c than a ff, so the 7d2 af might even have an edge for tracking across the whole frame.
cant i ask why 6d hasnt got the features the 7d has? if im paying more money for something that is supposedly above it in a camera range (going from 1-7, generally the cameras get better and more expensive) then surely i can ask why the 7d has so many more af points or a better body casing or a better iso performance etc etc
Except for the price of the ff sensor there is a decisive difference - the 6d has a big brother and Canon doesn't want to cannibalize their 5d3 sales, while the 7d2 will be the top of the aps-c line so Canon can put everything in it and people will still pay the price because aps-c and ff have different markets (sports/wildlife vs portrait/event). If and when the 70d arrives you'll see the the same feature-cut procedure of the 6d again.

im not arguing with anyone, im just not gonna be called an idiot for asking a question.I thought yours was a good question.....
Features don't necessaraly go with the "pro-ness" of the body. They have to be released at some time..... it may end up being a case of "from this time on the camerta gets x". For example, look at WiFi.... first on the T4i ( actually first on the p/s's...), then the 6D comes out with wifi.... and now it's a good bet that every body that comes out will have it. As things trickle through the product life cycles, you end up with the interesting situation where low end cameras have it but the "pro" ones don't....
You can't think of FF and APS-C as being the same line of cameras.... FF starts with the 6D, then 5DIII, then the 1 series... Introductory, enthusiast, pro. APS-C equivalent is the Rebels, 60D (70D?), and 7D(2?).... introductory, enthusiast, pro. move up the line and sealing gets better, frame rate improves, and features improve.
The best camera is the one in your hands
canon rumors FORUM
how can a 7d be professional, and a 6d be semi professional? the numbers literally dont add up! surely a FF camera has to be better than an aps-c in terms of spec. 9 af points vs 61 is just crazy!!Why not?
APS-H is not full frame, but it was considered a professional camera compared to a full frame like a 5D ... so it is possible to make an APS-C camera that can be considered a professional camera, especially for budget conscious sports photographers if the 7D II has 10 fps and all the other goodies that were mentioned.

A 1.6 crop sensor AND a 24mp image to crop into? Talk about reach... sounds too good to be true. If image quality is good, that is.

The Sketchy Deal
November 26, 2012Posted by on
This one came about during the election season as a way to artfully pair a shot and a beer in the same glass.
- 1 oz bourbon of your choosing
- .5 oz Aperol
- .5 oz lemon juice
- .25 Marie Brizard orange liqueur
- 2 oz brown ale or similar roasty, malty beer
Build in order over ice in a double old fashioned or collins style glass, garnish with a wedge of lemon. The finished product is slightly bitter from the Aperol, malty and chocolaty from the ale with a nice citrus pop in it from the remaining ingredients.
Mexican Chocolate Toddy
October 15, 2012Posted by on
At home and a little at work I've recently been working with chocolate in some of my drinks trying to find both a thicker desert style drink and also a hot seasonally appropriate but innovative drink that isn't necessarily for after dinner. The following finds a happy medium between the two. After experimenting through a bottle or so and finding that chocolate for baking or eating doesn't dissolve how I would like (it clumps and falls to the bottom, leaving an unsightly sludge of sweetness in the glass) and knowing that chocolate syrup isn't the taste I was after I tried using some Fee Brother's Chocolate Bitters. It worked like a charm, I had created a drink that was both chocolaty and transparent, without any unwanted sedimentation.
- 2 oz cinnamon infused tequila*
- .5 oz cayenne-thyme syrup
- 6 dashes Fee Bro's Chocolate Bitters
- 15 drops Bitterman's Habanero Shrub
- 2-3 oz hot water (to taste)
- 1 oz lightly whipped heavy cream
- sprinkle of cinnamon
Build all of this in the order posted in a steaming hot footed glass mug, with the cream floating on top of the mixture and the cinnamon as a garnish. You can let the cream fall into the mixture, rounding out the flavor more over time, or you can mix it all together in the beginning, I prefer to let it sit and watch it change over the course of drinking it.
*For cost effectiveness I used Sauza Gold, to each 750ml bottle I added 10 cinnamon sticks and let sit 4-5 days until the tequila turned a dark reddish color.

After a break from posting for a while, due in part to not having easy access to the internet and taking a few weekends out of town I thought that a falernum recipe that I quite enjoy would be in good order. Falernum is a tiki-ish cordial from the Caribbean that can be consumed on its own over rocks or mixed into a variety of other libations, from lemonade to whisk(e)y drinks:
- peel of 4 limes, with as little pith as possible
- 10 oz aged rum (I used Chairman's Reserve)
- .5 oz amaretto
- 60 cloves
- 1 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1 cup sliced ginger
- .75 cups demerara sugar
- 3 oz boiling water
Mix the first six ingredients and let soak for at least one day, preferably 2 or more, make a rich syrup out of the sugar and water, strain rum mixture and add syrup, use this in a 4:3 ratio with fresh lime juice. I left the lime juice out of the recipe for the purpose of storing this long term, so that it wouldn't risk rotting or souring at room temperature. You can mix the whole of your batch with lime juice in the beginning for ease of drink making if you want, just be sure to store it in the refrigerator.
The Season
July 30, 2012Posted by on
After dinner the other night I was looking around the bar trying to figure out a good dessert/nightcap drink and came across this rye based darkly flavored concoction:
- 2 Rye Whiskey
- 1 Campari
- .5 Creme de Cassis
- 2 dashes Fee Brother's Aztec Chocolate bitters
- 1 dash Angostura
Stir all of this over ice and strain into an old fashioned glass, top with a twisted orange. This is definitely not a drink to have before a meal or during a hot day, this is much better on a cool night after a heavy meal.
Rhapsody in Orange
June 23, 2012Posted by on
Here's another strong but easy drinking one for summertime. This is a variation on a light rum old fashioned with the addition of some other liquors for some more layers of flavor:
- 2 oz light rum
- .5 oz cognac
- .25 oz mint syrup
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- 1 dash old fashioned bitters
- splash green Chartreuse
- 1 lime wedge
Muddle the rum, cognac, and lime wedge, add the syrup and orange bitters. Wash a chilled coupe or cocktail glass in the Chartreuse, stir mixture over ice and strain, float a lime wheel on top and dash the old fashioned bitters on the wheel. If this is too strong or you want a highball feel free to put this on the rocks with some tonic, the base still shines through with a lot of character.
I've played with this a decent amount using both Remy Martin VSOP and Hennessy VS, peppermint syrup and chocolate mint syrup, Regan's and Angostura orange bitters, and Fee Brother's and Angostura old fashioned bitters, and both Chartreuses. My preference so far is with Hennessy, peppermint syrup, Angostura bitters for both kinds, and green Chartreuse. This makes for the most aromatic and layered cocktail in my opinion.
The 8-hour Work Day
June 11, 2012Posted by on
The barrel that I was using for the Cocky Yamazaki reached the end of its ability to properly age that cocktail in a timely manner, so I bottled the last batch and put some gin in the barrel. I had a mini tasting of a bunch of different white liquors, heavy on the gin, all with a dash of the Cocky Yamazaki in them to simulate what the aging process would do to them. Out of the seven or so trial glasses Bombay Sapphire came out the winner, I barreled it and after ten days it was ready to be used:
- 2oz Aged Bombay Sapphire
- .5oz Lillet Blanc
- .5oz dry vermouth
- 1 roasted old fashioned cured orange wheel
Stir and strain the liquors into a chilled cocktail glass, top with the orange.
To cure the orange: slice 1 large navel orange into about 10 slices, grill over a flame for 2 minutes on each side, then soak in a bath of 1.5oz bourbon, .5 oz honey, and 4-5 dashes of black-peppercorn-rosemary-grapefruit bitters for 3 hours or so.
As the drink sits in the glass more and more of the old fashioned cured orange seeps into the martini, changing it considerably from a strong and dry first sip to a much more mellow and sweeter final sip. The orange is an interactive garnish and ought to be eaten to finish the drink up.

This is number two in the series of sake, and for this one we'll have a variation on the mule that I'm calling Raba, which is Japanese for mule. This also incorporates a wash of chartreuse, which I have become fond of in that last month or so. Don't forget that with a wash you only want enough to get a subtle hint of it in there, it shouldn't be a strong flavor component. So, without any more ramblings, here we go:
Add to an old fashioned glass that has been washed in green chartreuse and filled with ice:
- 2 oz Nigori Sake
- 1 oz London Dry Gin
- 1 dash of Regan's orange bitters
- top with spicy ginger beer
- garnish with a lime
This would also make a good lunchtime or early afternoon highball if you didn't want it to be as strong as this.
Cocky Yamazaki #2

Congratulations to Bryan and Beth on their beautiful wedding! Two of my best friends were married on the fifth, so I was out of town and away from the blog for a few to have the honor of being a groomsman, thank you, and cheers to you both!
A one post break from my promised sake series is due, Cocky Yamazaki has been getting some press in the DC cocktail scene. Here are some articles for your perusal, though one of them did mix up some of the numbers I gave, they are still worth a read:
Thank you for your support thus far, more great and bleeding edge cocktails are on their way.

I went on a prolific sake kick the other day and made so many new drinks that Bourbon is my Spinach will be putting out a short series of sake based cocktails. For part one, I present the Lotus-eaters, a sweet, earthy, and close-your-eyes-in-insouciance-for-the-external kind of drink:
noun: a person who leads a life of dreamy, indolent ease, indifferent to the busy world; daydreamer.
- 2 oz nigori sake (I used Rihaku Dreamy Clouds)
- 1/2 oz dry vermouth
- 1/2 oz honey lavender syrup (equal parts honey and strong lavender tea)
- 1 dash orange bitters
- 1 dash black peppercorn/rosemary/grapefruit bitters
- 2 slices cucumber
Muddle the cucumber into the sake and vermouth, add bitters and syrup, stir over ice and strain into chilled white wine glass, garnish with a lemon twist or floated cucumber slice. I recommend a wine glass so that the drink can be swirled as the solids in the sake will eventually start to sink to the bottom, though, the cocktail will also work in a coupe or cocktail glass.
In the Second Degree
April 18, 2012Posted by on
Oh gin! I've waited all winter to pick you up from the store and order you in the bar, and it has been a long wait (Lou Reed sang a good blues about gin and how sad it is when its gone). Now your time is here though, here's a take on a gin old fashioned:
- 1.5 Bluecoat or similar gin
- 2 splashes simple syrup
- 2 splashes cognac
- 1 splash orange juice
- 2 dashes lemon bitters
- 4-5 basil leaves
Muddle the basil and gin in a shaker, fill with ice, top with remaining ingredients, stir, and serve up. Garnish with a sprig of basil and orange twist for a smooth, slightly sweet creation.

Between the two of them, Bob Baffert and Steve Asmussen have seven of the 11 horses entered in the Grade I Malibu Stakes, Santa Anita's opening day feature on Monday.
Baffert, a nine-time Santa Anita training king and a member of the Hall of Fame, has entered Racing Aptitude, Hoorayforhollywood, Smash and The Factor. Asmussen, Eclipse Award winner as the nation's outstanding conditioner in 2008 and 2009, entered Rothko, Light Up the Score and Wine Police.
The Factor is Baffert's most accomplished runner, with three graded stakes wins on his resume, including the Grade I Pat O'Brien at Del Mar in August. Hoorayforhollywood was second by a neck in the Delta Mile; Smash was second in the Grade II Carry Back at Calder, while Racing Aptitude shows two minor stakes victories, including the Yo Eleven at Hollywood Park on Nov. 11.
Asmussen sends out Rothko and Light Up the Score on their first stakes sojourn, but each is on a winning streak. Rothko has won three in a row by a combined margin of 15 lengths, while Light Up the Score has two straight wins by a combined 4 ¼ lengths.
Rothko's most recent tally, a 6 ½ length romp on Nov. 4 at Churchill Downs earned him a career-best Beyer speed figure of 96. Under Julien Leparoux, the bay colt by Arch negotiated the six furlong distance run over a muddy strip in 1:09.40. Rothko was attentive to the pace and never looked a loser while dominating a nine-horse field.
Light Up the Score's most recent win also came in a nine-horse field, at Churchill Downs on Nov. 25. The Kentucky-bred son of Even the Score won easily by 2 ½ lengths as the 7-5 favorite. He was ridden by Javier Castellano.
Wine Police was second in the Jimmy V in the mud at Churchill Downs on Nov. 4, and was third in the Grade I Hopeful at Saratoga as a 2-year-old. A Kentucky-bred son of Eclipse Champion Sprinter Speightstown, Wine Police has an overall record of 3-1-2 from seven starts.
The field for the Malibu, which goes as the ninth and final race on opening day: El Pocho, Kevin Krigger; Centralinteligence, Joel Rosario; Luckarack, Hector Berrios; Rothko, Corey Nakatani; Racing Aptitude, Mike Smith; Hoorayforhollywood, Gomez; Light Up the Score, Victor Espinoza; Smash, Rafael Bejarano; Associate, Ramon Dominguez; Wine Police, Joe Talamo; and The Factor, Martin Garcia.
Hoorayforhollywood blew out four furlongs on Santa Anita's fast main track Wednesday in 47.20 and the Baffert-trained Racing Aptitude went five furlongs in a bullet 58.60, while Associate went five furlongs in 1:01.40 for Richard Dutrow Jr.
Home is where the heart is. For Garrett Gomez these days, that's Santa Anita. The Tucson native, who turns 40 on New Year's Day, has made Southern California his home in recent years and resides in Duarte, a few furlongs from Santa Anita, with his wife, Pam, and children Jared, Collin and Shelby.
Along with his many other accolades en route to a career that should one day lead to enshrinement in the Hall of Fame, Gomez will be singularly remembered as the only jockey to vanquish the peerless mare Zenyatta, who suffered her only defeat in 20 career races when Gomez guided Blame to a pulsating head victory in the 2010 Breeders' Cup Classic.
At the moment, Gomez is focused on Monday's opening day at Santa Anita, where among his mounts will be Hoorayforhollywood in the marquee event, the Grade I Malibu Stakes for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs.
Hoorayforhollywood is a son of Storm Cat who has been second in photo finishes in his last three starts, losing by a nose last May 29, a nose on Oct. 7 and a neck in the Delta Mile on Nov. 19. He broke his maiden at first asking last Feb. 21 at Santa Anita.
Gomez has never ridden the Storm Cat colt owned by George Krikorian and trained by Bob Baffert, so the jockey will do his homework before the race.
"The past performances show you how he wants to run and what he's been doing, but of course I'll consult with Bob and see what he wants to do with him," Gomez said. "Every race is a little different and could require a different strategy. It depends on the other horses in the race, the pace factor and everything that plays into each race."
And when he gets aboard Hoorayforhollywood for the post parade?
"Someone who's never ridden a particular horse before can't get a good line on how the horse is feeling," Gomez said. "If you haven't ridden it before, you aren't familiar with the horse's routine, so you wouldn't know if it was doing anything different just from being on it one time.
"There's no precedent, so you have nothing to gauge it on. But if you've ridden a horse a few times and it's usually nice and laid back, and you get on and it's worked up and a little sweaty, well, you wouldn't want to see that."
After extensive travel this year, Gomez is content to be home for the Santa Anita meet, where he and agent Tony Matos will focus on winning races and earning purse money.
"We have to regroup and find an approach that works for us and for the schedule here," Gomez said. "Me and Tony, we went to Keeneland, and right before the Breeders' Cup we had to do a lot of traveling, so we've had to kind of restart a couple of times.
"At Del Mar, we got a little momentum going into the fall meet at Santa Anita and then we had to start traveling again. It's hard to get your momentum going when you're in and out and other riders are here on a consistent basis, but we've got to do what we've got to do to ride some of the better horses, and that's living on airplanes and traveling. It's a give and take proposition, but we're happy with the way it's going.
"We've got to make it work maybe a little bit better. We'll figure it out. This is the big meet and to be home in Southern California, this is where I want to be, with my family. Hopefully, we make a nice impact throughout the meet, so we'll see what we can do."
After working five furlongs on Hollywood Park's Cushion Track in 59.80 Tuesday, Mike Pender decided Wednesday to enter streaking Ultimate Eagle in the Grade II, $150,000 Sir Beaufort Stakes for 3-year-olds at one mile on turf on opening day.
Winner of all four of his grass races—the last four in a row—Ultimate Eagle had been ticketed for a start on dirt, possibly in the San Fernando Stakes on Jan. 14 or the Strub Stakes on Feb. 4.
"We have certain goals to meet every year and within those goals, we can call some audibles, and this is one of them," Pender said Wednesday morning at Santa Anita.
Ultimate Eagle, a Mizzen Mast colt owned by B.J. Wright of Pasadena, won two grass races at Del Mar some four months ago, then won the Grade II Oak Tree Derby at odds of 34-1 at Santa Anita on Oct. 15 before leading throughout to take the Grade I Hollywood Derby by nearly a length at 14-1.
Multiple stakes winner Jeranimo, eyeing a repeat win in the Grade II San Gabriel Stakes on Jan. 16, also worked Tuesday at Hollywood for Pender, going four furlongs in 48 seconds. "Jeranimo worked sensational," Pender said. "He couldn't have worked any better. Ultimate Eagle did the same thing. They both just went as easy as could be."
Martin Pedroza, who has ridden Ultimate Eagle in his four victories, retains the mount. Whether the streak reaches five remains to be seen, since Pender has ample respect for his rivals.
"It's probably the deepest Sir Beaufort I've ever seen," he said.
The field for the 12th running of the Sir Beaufort, which goes as the eighth race: Cozy Kitten, Alonso Quinonez; Venomous, Joel Rosario; Comma to the Top, Joe Talamo; Mr. Commons, Mike Smith; Thirtyfirststreet, Hector Berrios; Irish Art, Rafael Bejarano; Moment of Weakness, Kevin Krigger; Ultimate Eagle, Martin Pedroza; and Riveting Reason, Victor Espinoza.
Mr. Commons worked five furlongs on Hollywood's Cushion Track Wednesday in 1:00.80 for trainer John Shirreffs.
It was no surprise to trainer Dan Hendricks that Belloma broke her maiden in style at first asking. She led throughout to win a 6 ½ furlong maiden allowance race at Hollywood Park by a length and three-quarters on Nov. 26. Next up: Monday's $100,000 California Breeders' Champion Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at seven furlongs on Monday.
"She was professional and showed a good way of going from the start," Hendricks said of the daughter of Yankee Gentleman owned by Judi Partridge of Yorba Linda. "She worked nicely out of the gate before her first race and ran the same way. She worked so well here I don't foresee any problem going from synthetic to dirt."
Belloma worked five furlongs on Santa Anita's fast main track Wednesday in 1:01. Hendricks has "some 20 horses for this meet." Asked if it was a good number for him, he said, "You always want more."
The field for the California Breeders' Champion Stakes for fillies, which goes as the first race: Tangerine Tickle, Hector Berrios; Almost a Lady, Joel Rosario; Willa B Awesome, Martin Pedroza; Warren's Amber, Victor Espinoza; Belloma, Martin Garcia; and Ismene, Mike Smith.
Richard Mandella was optimistic when he saddled Rock Hard Ten for the 2004 Malibu Stakes. When Rock Hard Ten came from 10th and last at the half-mile marker to get up and win by a half-length, the Hall of Fame trainer was understandably thrilled.
"It was pretty nice," Mandella recalled in typically understated fashion. "It was my first time to run him. He was given to me after his 3-year-old campaign, and he'd been rested, but trained good enough to make us think he could do anything, and he could.
"I just told Gary Stevens, 'Look, don't go chasing him out of there, trying to make him sharp.' I wanted him eased back to make a big run that would set him up for the (Santa Anita) Handicap, which it did, but he won the Malibu, too."
Rock Hard Ten would go on to win the Big 'Cap, defeating Lava Man by a length and three-quarters.
ON-TRACK FANS AT SANTA ANITA HAVE MOBILE WAGERING OPTIONSanta Anita Park has announced that beginning opening day, Monday, it will offer all fans attending on-track the convenience of remote wagering via Santa Anita Mobile, a state-of-the-art mobile wagering application.
On-track fans can access the new mobile wagering site at: http://mobile.santaanita.com. This one-stop, one-source mobile application brings customer service to the palm of the customer's hand and among its features are: On-track mobile wagering, streaming of live races, race replays, Cybertote (real time results, odds, will-pays, scratches, etc,) a betting calculator and a Santa Anita events and concerts calendar.
"This is the direction we need to be going," said Santa Anita Vice President of Sales and Marketing Chris Quinn. "Technology is making our sport much more accessible and this mobile wagering platform is going to provide our on-track fans with a level of convenience that we haven't been able to offer before. This is an exciting time and we feel these types of technologies hold great promise for the growth of our sport and the enhancement of our on-track experience."
Santa Anita mobile wagering comes with a very simple sign-up process. Patrons can visit the sign-up booth in the first floor grandstand (just West of the THOROUGHBREDS Center in Mainline 2) or in FrontRunner Restaurant. Fill out a one page form to set up your THOROUGHBREDS mobile wagering account. Signing up for THOROUGHBREDS is free and easy to do if you are not already a member.
"Currently, we are working to provide the best infrastructure to support the mobile wagering platform," said Nina Zukin, Santa Anita Director of Information Technology. "With the addition of numerous wireless towers and commercial access points, our customers can be assured of a convenient and secure mobile wagering experience."
Following is a list of six potential questions likely to be posed by new customers:
Q: How do I sign up?
A: Take your THOROUGHBREDS card to the mobile wagering sign-up booth on the first floor grandstand (Just West of the THOROUGHBREDS Center in Mainline 2). Fill out a brief one page form and you are ready to go.

A: Yes. From a security standpoint you must change your PIN number before being issued a new card. Customers can change their PIN at any time on any self-service terminal and should change their PIN when making their initial deposit.
Q: What if the customer forgets his or her PIN number, can that number be retrieved?
A: PIN numbers are easily retrieved at any Information Window. Customers must provide photo identification that matches the name on the account.
Q: Once the Santa Anita winter/spring meeting is over, where can account money be withdrawn?
A: Customers can withdraw monies by voucher from any self service terminal at any Southern California racetrack or off-track betting facility.
Q: If a Santa Anita Mobile card is lost, can someone else access the account?
A: Your account cannot be accessed without a pin number. If you have lost your card, please go to an Information Window. You will be asked security questions from your sign-up information and your old card will be cancelled and you will be issued a new card immediately.
FINISH LINES: First post time on opening day, Monday, is 12 noon . . . Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Amazombie, prepping for his 2012 debut in the Grade II Palos Verdes Stakes at six furlongs on Jan. 21, worked four furlongs Wednesday on Santa Anita's fast main track in 48.40, breezing, for trainer Bill Spawr . . . Sham Stakes winner Tapizar worked five furlongs in 1:02.20 for Steve Asmussen . . . Eric Guillot plans to run Champagne d'Oro in the Grade III Monrovia Stakes at about 6 ½ furlongs on turf Jan. 2, but if the winner of the Grade I Test Stakes in 2010 doesn't fare well, "she'll be retired and bred to Bernardini," the trainer said. Champagne d'Oro worked five furlongs Wednesday in 59.60.

Kevin Nursick, spokesman for the Connecticut Department of Transportation, said the Mystic Drawbridge was closed to traffic for more than three hours Sunday because of a relatively minor problem.
"Limit switches" that signal whether the sides are properly closed and aligned malfunctioned, he said. Nursick said the sensors sent a message to the bridge operator that something was wrong, so the gates remained closed to traffic.
He said the department now knows the bridge was working, but it didn't know that at the time. He said the department is sorry people were inconvenienced, but it had to take precautions.
"We take the blame on this, but we take the blame knowing that we did the right thing, because we don't take chances with safety," he said.
The switches are being fine-tuned or replaced if needed, he said. The process should be done in about a week, Nursick said.

Sent off an 8-1 chance, the five-year-old mare recorded her fifth course and distance win by finishing powerfully to take a six-furlong handicap by two and a quarter lengths from Pearl Nation under Ryan Powell.

Zombies will rise in three days. The ones that will come knocking on your door this Halloween will only look the part.
But there are real diseases that cause people to take on the horror movie characteristics. The medical community is keeping a close watch on them.
"These legends and these stories had to have come from somewhere so there actually is a whole science of people looking back, where would this idea have come from," Christopher Ziebell, M.D. said.
Dr. Christopher Ziebell, director of the Emergency Medical Department at University Medical Center Brackenridge says there are several diseases that cause patients to exhibit zombie-like behavior.
One is the human equivalent of mad cow disease called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
"At first it causes hyper-agitation, psychiatric type symptoms but eventually it becomes more like Alzheimer's to where they become more and more forgetful and less and less able to interact," Ziebell said.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the United States has reported between 279 and 352 cases a year.
Another disease is called Triposomiasis. It's transmitted by an African fly. The disease is also known as the sleeping sickness.
"It makes people lose the ability to function to where you can no longer keep them awake," Ziebell said.
It's not unheard of for rare diseases here in the U.S. to make their way into Austin. Ziebell cites last year's F1 race.
"Much to our surprise the first three patients we saw had Malaria," Ziebell said. "These were crew members of the race crews. The week before they were here in Austin they were in Abu Dhabi and when they were in Abu Dhabi they got bit by a mosquito that transmitted Malaria."
They successfully treated the malaria and will be better prepared at the upcoming event on November 16.
Should a zombie apocalypse hit, "We're ready. If indeed the zombies break in Brackenridge is ready and we will take care of all of your needs and your injuries we have a full security force here ready to shoot the zombies so we're good to go," Ziebell said.

CATEGORIES MoviesUPDATE: Nothing is stopping the "Twilight" train from rolling, not even a scandal between the film's two biggest stars.

With the Cardinals once again facing numerous contract concerns with a host of key players this offseason, the contract status of well-regarded head coach Ken Whisenhunt remains under the radar.
The Arizona Cardinals have lost Schofield for the season with an injured left ankle.||||||| Schofield was injured in Sunday's 31-17 loss at Green Bay. Initially, it was thought it probably was only a sprain but further examination uncovered ligament damage that requires surgery. Schofield, a fourth-round draft pick out of Wisconsin in 2010, has 34 tackles and four sacks this season.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt might activate the rookie linebacker for the first time this season.||||||| Schofield, who had 12 sacks as a senior at Illinois, was considered among the top players at his position in college but blew out his left knee while practicing for the Senior Bowl. The Cardinals selected him in the fourth round, knowing they would have to wait for his injured knee to heal.
