Trainer Ruben Cardenas hopes for the biggest score of his career when he sends out Chilean-bred Madera Castana in the $250,000 Gamely Stakes at Hollywood Park Monday. The first Grade I stake of the meet is for fillies and mares at 1 1/8 miles on turf.
Madera Castana, a Group I winner in her native Chile who joined the Cardenas stable here in March, rallied from far back to finish second in an allowance race on turf here May 8 in her United States debut.
"She should have won that race for fun," said Cardenas Thursday from his stable office in Barn 54 North. "She was 20 lengths behind at the three-eighths pole and just got beat. There was no reason for her to be that far back. I would like to see her closer to the pace in the Gamely."
Cardenas, a 51-year-old native of Mexico, seeks his first graded stakes victory in the Gamely. "I started with Wayne Lukas in the quarter horses in 1974," said Cardenas, who worked under Lukas, Mary Lou Tuck, Lee Rossi and Robert Marshall before going on his own in 2000.
"I know how to take care of a good horse," said Cardenas with a smile, pointing out that he was a foreman for Lukas when the stable included Winning Colors, Criminal Type, Open Mind and Tejano and the man behind the scenes for Marshall when he campaigned multiple stakes winner Full Moon Madness.
Cardenas hopes that Madera Castana one day will be mentioned in the same breath. "She came in March 16 with five horses from Chile," said Cardenas. "I thought she was the best, just on looks. She has acclimatized pretty well since she got here."
Madera Castana, a 4-year-old filly, is one of 19 horses that Cardenas trains for Green Grass Stable. He has high hopes for several others. "I'm going to train Ashtar up to the Hollywood Gold Cup (July 9)," said of the 4-year-old Chilean-bred colt, a Group I winner with six wins in 14 starts. "Private Affair just got in this week from Peru and acts like a good one," added Cardenas of the 4-year-old filly. "She ran second against colts in a Group I in Argentina."
Jockey Patrick Valenzuela will ride Madera Castana for the first time in a Gamely lineup also expected to include Cozy Rosie (Mike Smith), Dubawi Heights (Joel Rosario), Éclair de Lune (Chantal Sutherland), Malibu Pier (Brice Blanc), Restless Soul (Joe Talamo), Turning Top (Garrett Gomez) and Canadian invader Miss Keller (Victor Espinoza). Celtic Princess and Lilly Fa Pootz head a short list of possible starters.
Restless Soul and Éclair de Lune each worked five furlongs on turf Thursday in 1:01.60 and 1:04, respectively.
Amazombie, a rising star among sprinters, and Cost of Freedom, the defending champion, will carry co-highweight of 122 pounds in the $100,000 Los Angeles Handicap, a Grade III test at six furlongs Monday.
Amazombie won the Potrero Grande and Tiznow stakes in his last two starts for trainer and co-owner Bill Spawr and will be ridden by Mike Smith.
Cost of Freedom seeks to join Native Diver as the only two-time winner of the Los Angeles Handicap. Tyler Baze will ride the 8-year-old gelding for trainer John Sadler.
The extremely competitive sprint will also include M One Rifle, who set a track record of 55.98 seconds for five furlongs and edged Cost of Freedom by one-half length in the Cool Frenchy Stakes May 7. Chantal Sutherland will ride for Bruce Headley under 118.
Other probable starters include Supreme Summit, Rafael Bejarano, 117; and Gato Go Win, Garrett Gomez, 115.
Trainer John Sadler confirmed Thursday that Sidney's Candy would start in the $150,000 American Handicap Saturday under high weight of 123 pounds.
The 4-year-old colt drew post seven in a field of eight under Joel Rosario in the Grade II test at one mile on turf. The chestnut son of Candy Ride will try to duplicate the victory of his sire, who won the race under 120 in 2003 when it was run at 1 1/8 miles on grass.
The last horse to win the American under as heavy an impost was champion Tight Spot, who carried 123 in 1991.
Asked if he thought Broken Dreams could win the $70,000-added Great Lady M Stakes Sunday, trainer Tom Proctor replied, "Is Marty Jones running?"
When informed that the Jones-trained Unzip Me was not entered in the six-furlong turf stake for fillies and mares, Proctor said with a sigh of relief, "Maybe she will, if she's fast enough."
Unzip Me, a multiple stakes winner with 11 wins in 19 starts, has twiced foiled Proctor in bids for an initial stakes victory for Broken Dreams. The Glen Hill Farm homebred mare finished second in both the Monrovia and Clockers Corner Handicaps on the hillside turf course at Santa Anita.
Broken Dreams, a Florida-bred 5-year-old mare, has recorded three firsts and five seconds in 11 starts.
Las Cienegas Handicap winner Separate Forest blew out three furlongs in 37.80 on the main track for the Great Lady M., in which she drew the outside post in a field of five under high weight of 122.
Trainer Dean Pederson was making himself right at home in Barn 64 South in his first full-time meet here.
"Hopefully that was the way to get the ball rolling," said Pederson of his first win at the meet with Logical Single, a 4-year-old filly who captured the $73,350 Fran's Valentine Stakes for California-bred fillies and mares at one mile on turf Sunday.
Pederson, a Northern California transplant, said he had won one stake here previously. "It was also a Cal-bred stake, with a horse named Super Tuesday," recalled Pederson. "She won a three-horse photo. (Alex) Solis rode her."
"Committing here full time, it's nice to get the first win of the meet," added Pederson. "Hopefully, it won't be the last."
Logical Single is a Harris Farms homebred by Singletary. "Mr. (John) Harris is the main reason we made the move," said Pederson. "He was a great client in Northern California and encouraged me to move south."
FINISH LINES—Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith made his first ride in England a winning one Thursday morning, capturing an allowance race at Folkestone on Gentlemans Code, a 2-year-old colt trained by Wesley Ward. Agent Brad Pegram said that Smith would fly back to California Friday and ride here Saturday…Frequent flyer Garrett Gomez will sandwich trips to New York to ride Cheetah for Christophe Clement in the Sheepshead Bay Stakes Saturday and Master of Hounds for Aidan O'Brien in the Belmont Stakes June 11 around a trip to Toronto June 5 for the Woodbine Oaks…Awesome Gem is scheduled to run in the Lone Star Handicap in Texas Monday before he defends honors in the Hollywood Gold Cup on July 9…Trainer Eric Kruljac said that multiple stakes-winning filly La Nez suffered a fractured hind cannon bone in a work Sunday, underwent successful surgery and is expected to make a full recovery…Trainer Cliff Sise said that Melair Stakes winner Miles Rules has returned to training after being forced to miss the Railbird Stakes because of a bout with colic…California Cup Classic winner Soul Candy worked seven furlongs on the main track in 1:27.40 for a possible start in the $150,000 Californian June 4…Jockey Garrett Gomez booked off his Thursday mounts because of illness, according to track stewards.

While clinics, tournaments and scrimmages kept some student-athletes tuned up during the offseason, Monday was the first day the Sac-Joaquin Section allowed teams to begin formal spring sports workouts and tryouts.
Baseball, softball, girls soccer, boys tennis, boys golf, swimming and track and field teams compete during the spring season.
Hopes for winning seasons are already high among players and coaches, including Cade Tomasegovich, the varsity girls soccer coach.
"At this time of the season, I look forward to the eagerness of the players to get started," Tomasegovich said. "There is always a nice buzz around the beginning of the season and a certain anticipation for what we are capable of doing.
"My expectations for the season are high — I hope my players' are as well."
Patterson High's girls soccer teams will open the preseason Feb. 22 at home against Downey High of Modesto.
Benji Lozano returns for his seventh season as the baseball coach after the 2012 Tigers placed third in the Western Athletic Conference and put together the program's first Division IV playoff run in three years. The team's first game is Feb. 22 at Hughson High.
The softball program, meanwhile, welcomes back fourth-year coach Jennifer Hamm.
Last year, Patterson finished fifth in the WAC but ended the campaign by winning two consecutive league games, including a 6-1 victory against Pacheco High of Los Banos. The softball squad will open the preseason Feb. 22 with a home game against Hughson.
"I'm very excited to finally be out on the field, and so are the girls," Hamm said. "We have everybody returning from last year, and a couple of new girls that are coming out as well. I feel we are going to be a contender for WAC this year."
Seventh-year track and field coach Shellie Freres hopes that her varsity squads can build upon a successful league campaign in 2012.
The boys team finished the regular season with a perfect 6-0 record, while the girls claimed runner-up honors in the WAC, finishing the season at 5-1.
Both track and field squads will hit the ground running March 6 on the road against league rival Livingston High.
First-year coach George Crawford and his boys golf team will begin the preseason with a March 4 match against West High of Tracy at Diablo Grande.
Another rookie coach, Amy Castillo, will lead Patterson's boys and girls swim teams into competition Feb. 20 against Hilmar High at the Patterson Aquatic Center pool.
Buzzy Wheeland returns for his eighth season as the boys tennis coach. His netters will open their WAC campaign Feb. 25 on the road against Livingston.

1. Have you weighed all of the arrows with the broad heads on them?
Outer limits archery sells a kit that are washers. Each weighing a grain.
This will assure that the weight of each is the same, to help them fly the same.
2. Have you indexed each broad head?
Line up each broad head with your vanes. Every blade matching the vane.
Some will sand a little material off the insert to accomplish this. But I don't recommend this. If you ever change your broad heads, you will need to sand more material off.
I use a piece of scotch tape. I put it over the insert, then poke a hole in it. Screw the insert in it and shave off the rest of the tape. (add more tape if needed) once you have indexed your blades the spin of the arrow in flight will be enhanced. Thus helping flight.
3. Have you spine tested the arrow that flies different?
Old school people would float the shafts to see where the seam would be. Then Fletch it with the seam on the bottom.
Now a days you might get an arrow or two with the seam out of place. Thus the seam being a little stiffer and causing that arrow to fly different.
Most would re-Fletch the arrow to line the seam to the bottom.

Reviews for Strawberry Ghosts
Sort By :
"a nice treat for Halloween. I would rather pipe tip the mouths on though, faster and easier than using a toothpick!"
"These were so cute! I also had a problem with the chocolate seizing when I added the extract. They were really yummy even without the almond, though, and that's how I would do it again."
"Super up to the point of finishing the "look" in the picture. What was used (I assume sprinkles) for the red hair and what was used for the green hair????"
"day 26 the dates we had all day loaneveryone loved them!everyone loves them!"
"This is my favorite recipe EVER!! Seriously, I love holidays and am always looking for cute ideas for parties. I used these for Halloween this year and everyone LOVED them!! So easy and cute and my gluten-free daughter could eat them, too! I cheated a little and used little candy eyeballs from Michael's and then drew mouths. Absolutely awesome!! Everyone at my office still asks for them and it's no longer Halloween..."

OCT 30 If you're a Louisiana native of (ahem) a certain age, you might have fond (or fuzzy, as the case may be) memories of a Zebra concert and singing "Who's Behind the Door" until your ears rang. This post on NOLA Defender profiles the leader of that band, Randy Jackson.
OCT 30 The National Journal offers this analysis of Bobby Jindal's willingness to stump in any Senate campaign that's not in Louisiana. Why is that? The Journal asks some GOPers and finds that the answer is one we already know: he's so unpopular here, because he's been so busy running for President, that his support might be "toxic."
OCT 30 If you're not obsessed with the Texas governor's race - what's wrong with you? Here's another installment, from our own IND contributor Lamar White Jr., who explains why Wendy's "infamous" wheelchair ad was a shock to the national media - but not to anyone familiar with Greg Abbott's record.
OCT 30 Blogger Tom Aswell is still all over the OGB mess - and all by himself, apparently. In this post, he's revealing orders from the Jindal administration to destroy records from the state employee health insurance plan. Those orders (he's heard) have angered the Secretary of State and caused an administration lawyer to quit her job. Wow!
OCT 30 Blogger Crazy Crawfish is taking aim at state Superintendent John White again, this time for comments White made recently, claiming that there is no real opposition to Common Core in Louisiana. Crawfish is documenting proof to the contrary here, and lays down the gauntlet to "mainstream news media." (Don't hold your breath on that one, buddy.)
OCT 30 Gambit covers Advocate publisher John Georges' recent visit to Loyola in this post. Georges touches on how things are going in this new gig, what he thinks about the Pic's decision to move printing to Alabama, and how he feels about his political campaigns.
OCT 30 A NOLA lady has alleged she was drugged and raped at a Bywater club that had a clothing-optional policy until recently, and she's now become the victim of a smear campaign, columnist Jarvis DeBerry writes in this post. She chose to reveal her story and her name, and she's being punished for that now, he says.
OCT 30 BESE member Lottie Beebe pens this letter to the editor of the Advocate about the state Department of Education. The DOE isn't exempt from the state public records law, and because of recent lawsuits she tried to require regular reports about how many requests had been made to the department and how many remained unanswered. She wasn't successful.
OCT 29 Manny Schewitz blogs on Forward Progressives about recent Facebook posts from David Vitter, including one that purports to take you to a petition to stop Ebola (say what?) but actually signs you up for his newsletter or campaign email list or some such nonsense. Dave must think we're dummies, Manny says -- and Dave's probably right.
OCT 29 Usually, the copy on Red Shtick is satire. But in this post "from the publisher," we get a pretty astute political analysis of Edwin Edwards' charisma and old-school populist swagger. Edwards isn't concealing billionaire backers, or trying to make his opponent out to be "Satan," the post says. He's just running. Huh; imagine that.
OCT 29 Salon's Elias Isquith writes this fairly hilarious commentary on a National Review post about Bobby Jindal's attempts to "beef up" in preparation for a presidential run. But it's not just funny; Isquith seems to have Bobby's number, commenting on how the Gov "and his team are hopelessly ensconced in the Tea Party bubble."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 7, 2010)-The addition of blinkers and a reunion with jockey Rafael Bejarano were beneficial as 9-1 shot Worth Repeating won for the second time this year on Friday night at Hollywood Park.
The upset by the 4-year-old was one of the catalysts for the first Pick Six carryover of the meet. The carryover for Saturday is $94,434.
The last of three wins for Bejarano, Worth Repeating rallied between horses in the stretch, got the lead with about a sixteenth of a mile to run, ultimately prevailing by three-quarters of a length in the $45,864 allowance.
Owned by Spendthrift Farm LLC and trained by Richard Mandella, the son of Giant's Causeway out of the A.P. Indy mare Lady Nichola ran the mile on turf in 1:35.42. The victory boosted his earnings to $74,600.
Now 2-for-3 in tandem with Bejarano, Worth Repeating, bred in Kentucky by B. Wayne Hughes, paid $20, $7 and $4.20. Bring It Home, the 5-2 second choice, returned $4.20 and $3.20. The show price on El Martillo, who finished a half-length behind El Martillo, was $3.60. Tamarack Smarty, the 8-5 favorite, wound up fifth.
Two races before Worth Repeating's victory, Dumaani's Gold came through with a much bigger surprise, winning at 34-1 in the opening leg of the Pick Six.
The second longest shot in the field of $10,000 fillies and mares, the 5-year-old Dumaani mare finished well along the rail to win by a half-length. She paid $70 in giving Silvio Amador his first win of the spring-summer season. Amador began the night 0-for-31.
Trained by Herb Bacorn and owned by actor Dick Van Patten, Dumaani's Gold won for the first time since defeating maidens on July 19, 2008 at Del Mar.
The final double digit winner on Friday night was Lethal Dose. The 5-year-old Game Plan horse took the eighth and final at 19-1. Lethal Dose, who returned $41.80, was ridden by apprentice Jesus Velasquez. It was the first victory of the jockey's career. A native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Velasquez, 19, won with his 14th career mount.
Post time for Saturday's nine race card is 1 p.m. The Pick Six begins with the fourth.
The main event is the $150,000 Mervyn LeRoy Handicap, which features the 5-year-old debut of 2009 Hollywood Gold Cup winner Rail Trip.
Owned by Mace and Samantha Siegel's Jay Em Ess Stable and trained by Ron Ellis, Rail Trip is the 6-5 morning line favorite in the Grade II at 1 1/16 miles.

I'm currently using an NAP Apache with a Limb Saver Module but also just recently tried the Limb Saver Wind Jammer with weight. They both are the same on cutting vibration but will say the Wind Jammers weight feel great at full draw.

Wineka column: Price of Freedom Museum gains mention in Congressional Record
Fact Box
A tribute to the Price of Freedom Museum was entered into the record during the first session of the 113th Congress.It appears in Vol. 159, No. 40, of the Congressional Record on page S1946.U.S. Sen. Richard Burr made the presentation on the Senate floor. Here's the text from the Congressional Record:Recognizing Price of Freedom MuseumMr. Burr. Madame President, I rise today to recognize the Price of Freedom Museum in China Grove, NC. The Price of Freedom Museum strives to pay tribute to those Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the fight for freedom.Bob Mault began collecting and preserving uniforms and military artifacts from all branches of the armed forces more than 40 years ago. These artifacts were first showcased in Mr. Mault's gas station in the 1970s, with the hope that others who saw these artifacts might be able to truly understand the price of freedom.Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Mault's friend Frank Albright, many volunteers and donations, these military artifacts have now found a home at the Old Patterson School Complex, and I understand the historical collection now consists of more than 5,000 military artifacts — each representing a very unique and individual story. This collection now provides an educational and patriotic experience for all who see it.It is always inspiring to hear of the efforts made by American citizens to pay tribute and give life to the stories of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. We must always endeavor to remember those who have died so that we may live in freedom.
Congressional Record entry on Price of Freedom Museum
He notes that the "fantastic letters" from fifth-graders keep coming in.
Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263,or firstname.lastname@example.com. The Price of Freedom Museum is located at 2420 Weaver Road, China Grove. It is open 3-5 p.m. Sundays, or by appointment. It's next special celebration will be a D-Day Remembrance Day May 25, a Saturday.

The countries of Central America's Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) have seen a significant number of their citizens migrate to the United States. Immigrants from the Caribbean represent half of all Black immigrants in the United States. As such, the ties between these countries and their diasporas have taken on new importance, as has the integration of these immigrants in their country of settlement. Research here explores the demographics, migration flows, human-capital development, interconnected policy realities, and outcomes for immigrants from Central America and the Caribbean. (For research specific to Mexico, see North America.)
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
Manuel Orozco of Inter-American Dialogue examines the increasing relevance of economic ties between diasporas and home country economies in Latin America.
Director of the Pew Hispanic Center, Roberto Suro, looks at how the flagging U.S. economy has not kept Latino immigrants from sending money back to their homelands.
Este manual ofrece a los formuladores de políticas y especialistas una guía accesible y práctica sobre las iniciativas gubernamentales referentes a la diáspora. Este manual contiene un menú, seleccionado cuidadosamente, de opciones normativas y programáticas viables basadas en experiencias reales en distintas partes del mundo.
Immigration from the Caribbean to the United States is a relatively recent phenomenon, beginning largely after 1965. This report provides a demographic profile of the 1.7 million Caribbean immigrants in the United States: their geographic settlement, education and workforce characteristics, earnings, modes of entry, and more.
This report finds that the 813,000 U.S. children under the age of 10 who have Black immigrant parents from Africa or the Caribbean generally fall in the middle of multiple well-being indicators, faring less well than Asian and white children but better than their native-born Black and Hispanic peers. Citizenship status, English proficiency, parental characteristics, poverty, housing, and access to social supports are examined.
The impact of climate change as a driver of human migration is expected by many to dwarf all others. Still, certain frequently repeated forecasts of the number of people who stand to be displaced by climate change are not informed by a complete understanding of migration dynamics, as this report explains.
Migration to the United States from Mexico and Central America's Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) has accelerated in the last four decades. This increase has been driven by economic opportunities and facilitated by social networks of friends and family already in the United States.
Since 1970, the immigrant populations from Mexico and Central America living in the United States have increased significantly: rising by a factor of 20 even as the total U.S. immigrant population increased four-fold over the period. This demographic report examines the age, educational, and workforce characteristics of these immigrants.
Over the past half century, migration from Mexico and Central America to the United States has been driven in part by regional demographic and human-capital trends. As the U.S. labor force became better educated, fewer native workers accepted certain low-skilled jobs. This report offers a look at the economic changes that have coincided with a Mexican and Central American population boom.
Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) research fellows Magnus Lofstrom and Sarah Bohn, and UC Berkeley professor of public policy Steven Raphael are issuing a new report that examines whether LAWA achieved its primary aims: reducing the unauthorized population, deterring their employment opportunities and improving employment outcomes of competing authorized workers. Their analysis also investigates whether Arizona's legislation induced a shift away from formal employment.

Tyler Reddick wins the Keystone Light 21 Means 21 Pole Award for the 16th Annual WinStar World Casino & Resort 350 with a lap of 29.677 seconds, 181.959 mph.
Brian Vickers posted the fastest single lap in the first practice session for the AAA 500 at Texas. His top speed was 199.218 mph.
Chris Buescher leads the first practice session for the Nationwide Series O'Reilly Auto Parts Challenge at Texas Motor Speedway.
The AAA 500 should be one of Greg Biffle's best opportunities to score a late-year top-five and be one of the best fantasy values in nearly every game. In his last 12 attempts on this track, his worst finish was a 12th and his best was a victory in spring 2012.
In nine races on similarly-configured, 1.5-mile tracks this year, Kasey Kahne has earned eight top-15s. Five of these were top-10s, but he barely missed that mark at Texas this spring and finished 11th in the Duck Commander 500.

text: Riding The Tiger "I discovered that being a President is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed." Harry S. Truman Posted January 8, 2013 By Carah Ong 1877: An Inaugural Agenda for Civil Service Reform "Torpedoes in His Path: Can he, with that load, get through without exploding them?" By Joseph Keppler. Published in Puck Magazine: Centerfold; Vol. 1 No. 1, March 14, 1877. PD. Each week leading up to President Obama's second inauguration, which will take place on January 21, 2013, RTT is featuring an inaugural address by a president from the Miller Center's archives. Rutherford Birchard Hayes is perhaps one of the most underappreciated presidents (CSPAN Historians rank him 33rd). Although he ascended to the presidency in one of the most contested and controversial elections, "Rud" was an intelligent man and honest man who sought to reform the federal government even the face of a hostile Congress and in an era of Congressional dominance. One of the priorities of President Hayes was to reform the system of civil service appointments, which had been based on a spoils system since the presidency of Andrew Jackson. Rather than doling out federal jobs to political supporters, Hayes called for awarding jobs based on merit. Hayes' civil service reform success, even if it was limited, was significant for a couple reasons. First, Hayes' efforts set "a significant precedent as well as the political impetus for the Pendleton Act of 1883," which was signed into law by none other than President Chestur A. Arthur. Second, in a period marked by Congressional dominance, Hayes restored the President's constitutional power of appointments. While Congress could suggest those whom they thought should be nominated for federal jobs, by the end of the Hayes administration, senators and congressman no longer dictated these appointments to the president. Hayes laid out his civil service reform agenda in his Inaugural Address on March 5, 1877: I ask the attention of the public to the paramount necessity of reform in our civil service--a reform not merely as to certain abuses and practices of so-called official patronage which have come to have the sanction of usage in the several Departments of our Government, but a change in the system of appointment itself; a reform that shall be thorough, radical, and complete; a return to the principles and practices of the founders of the Government. They neither expected nor desired from public officers any partisan service. They meant that public officers should owe their whole service to the Government and to the people. They meant that the officer should be secure in his tenure as long as his personal character remained untarnished and the performance of his duties satisfactory. They held that appointments to office were not to be made nor expected merely as rewards for partisan services, nor merely on the nomination of members of Congress, as being entitled in any respect to the control of such appointments… The President of the United States of necessity owes his election to office to the suffrage and zealous labors of a political party, the members of which cherish with ardor and regard as of essential importance the principles of their party organization; but he should strive to be always mindful of the fact that he serves his party best who serves the country best.

Eye Health Center
Your Eyes and Iritis
Medical Treatment of Iritis
Treatment of iritis includes the use of medication in the form of eye drops or pills to allow for healing and to help decrease eye pain.
Drugs to Treat Iritis
Treatment of iritis includes the use of a drug (in the form of eyedrops) to dilate (widen) the pupil and to prevent spasm of the iris muscles so that the inflamed iris can rest. This allows for healing and helps decrease the eye pain.
Steroid eyedrops are also prescribed unless an infectious agent (virus or bacteria) caused the iritis. Steroid eyedrops help decrease the inflammation of the iris. If the eye does not improve within a week, your eye doctor may consider prescribing steroid pills or steroid injections around the eye. The length of treatment depends on the severity of disease and how well the eye improves with the treatment.
Follow-Up Care for Iritis
In all cases of iritis, follow-up care with an eye care specialist is essential. In cases of nontraumatic iritis, your ophthalmologist will evaluate you for the presence of associated diseases.
Outlook for Iritis
Traumatic iritis usually goes away within one to two weeks. Nontraumatic iritis may take weeks, and occasionally months, to resolve.
Infectious cases of iritis will resolve once measures are taken to treat the infection.
Certain cases of iritis (those associated with systemic diseases, such as sarcoidosis or ankylosing spondylitis) may be chronic or recurrent.
Eye doctors may instruct certain people who are at high risk of having recurrent iritis to always have steroid eyedrops on hand so that they may begin using them at the first sign of a recurrence.

Southwestern Short Ribs Bourguignon
Red meats soak up flavor when marinated in red wine. The acids in wine help break down tough fibers, so this is a wonderful technique for less tender cuts such as chuck (pot roast) or brisket.
After marinating, use a traditional enamel cast iron round brasier, such as this 3-1/2 quart braiser from Le Creuset to sear the short ribs and cook the dish. Its depth is tall enough to hold most cuts of meat, but shallow enough to provide a larger surface for tenderizing.
- 3 cups red Zinfandel
- 3 to 4 pounds bison or beef short ribs
- 4 to 5 shallots, peeled and sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 to 2 jalapeños, seeded and slivered lengthwise or chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons bacon drippings or olive oil
- 12 ounces Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
- 12 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 carrot, coarsely chopped
Place meat in large Dutch oven or resealable plastic bag set in large bowl. Add wine, shallots, garlic, thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and jalapeño pepper. Stir or turn to coat. Cover pot with plastic wrap or seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator overnight.
Preheat oven to 275°F. Remove meat from marinade; set marinade aside. Pat meat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat bacon drippings over medium-high heat in 12-inch skillet. Add meat; brown on all sides. Remove meat from skillet; transfer to a 3-1/2 to 4-quart Dutch oven; set aside. Reduce heat to medium.
Add potatoes, mushrooms, and carrot to the hot skillet. Cook and stir 4 minutes (add additional oil to skillet, if necessary). Spoon around meat in Dutch oven. Add marinade to skillet. Bring to boiling. Pour over meat and vegetables in Dutch oven.
Bake meat, partially covered, in preheated oven 2 to 3 hours or until meat is tender. Remove meat and vegetables to serving platter; cover to keep warm.
Bring cooking liquid in Dutch oven to boiling over medium-high heat. Boil gently, uncovered, 12 to 15 minutes or until reduced by half (about 2 cups) and is slightly thickened. Serve sauce with meat and vegetables. Makes 8 servings.
Portuguese Mussels
Sautéing shellfish in white wine creates a flavorful sauce to enhance their briny taste—think of it as a yin-yang of flavor.
A large stainless steel French skillet has higher walls than a traditional sauté or frying pan, making it useful for adding liquid to an already full pan and creating a sauce after sautéing. This 11-inch French skillet from All Clad comes with a domed lid that helps trap moisture.
- 2 pounds fresh mussels in shells
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1-1/2 cups sauvignon blanc (preferably from Portugal)
- 1-1/2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel
- 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (chives, thyme, tarragon and/or parsley)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and ground black pepper
- Grilled French Bread
Scrub mussels under cold running water; remove beards and discard. Soak mussels in cold salted water 15 minutes, then drain and rinse. Repeat soaking, draining, and rinsing twice more. Set aside.
Heat large skillet over high heat; add oil. Once pan begins to smoke, add garlic. Cook and stir until cloves begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add mussels (mixture will sizzle and steam). Cook and stir 1 minute more. Remove from heat.
Add wine, orange peel and saffron. Return skillet to heat. Cook, covered, until shells have opened, about 1 minute. Discard any mussels that have not opened.
Add fresh herbs and butter, stirring gently to melt butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in deep bowl with French bread to soak up the juices.
Wild Striped Bass with Red Wine Butter Sauce
One oft-quoted piece of wisdom from Juiia Child was "Reduce! Reduce! Reduce!" The queen of cookery wasn't kidding—to intensify the flavors of a wine sauce, cook it down by at least one-half to two-thirds.
To do it best, use a copper saucepan—liquids reach a consistent boil and then simmer, allowing reduction at a consistent level of heat. Mauviel sets the standard for copper cookware. A 2.6-quart size is a good basic to have on hand.
- 3 cups merlot
- 3 tablespoons sliced shallots
- 3 fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 pound unsalted butter, cut into cubes, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon whipping cream
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 6 (6 to 8-ounce) striped bass fillets or other firm-flesh white fish fillets
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- Cooked Brussels sprouts (optional)
- Lemon halves (optional)
Preheat oven to 400°F. In medium saucepan combine merlot, shallots, thyme, peppercorns, bay leaf, salt, and white pepper. Bring mixture to boiling over medium heat; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 25 to 30 minutes or until reduced to 1 cup. Strain mixture; discard solids except for bay leaf. Return mixture back to the saucepan. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes or until temperature is about 120°F.
Remove bay leaf if desired. Start whisking in butter. Return saucepan back to heat if butter stops melting, but maintain temperature of 100° to 120°F by moving saucepan back and forth from heat (sauce will break if warmer). Once butter is fully incorporated, whisk in whipping cream. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Place saucepan on stovetop to keep warm before serving.
Season fish lightly with salt and black pepper. In 12-inch oven-going skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add fish, meaty-side down. Cook until golden; turn. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake, uncovered, for about 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with fork. Spoon sauce atop fish; serve with Brussels sprouts and lemon halves. Serves 6.
Coq au Vin with Plums
When you braise, you use both dry heat and wet heat for fork-tender results—that means browning the meat in a small amount of fat, then cooking it in a small amount of liquid over low heat.
A pot with a tight-fitting lid is imperative for braising. It gets even better when the lid is fashioned to help the process along. Staub enamel cast-iron cocottes have small "spikes" imbedded in the lid, which allows essential moisture to return to the food as it cooks. A 4-1/2 quart oval cocotte is the perfect size for preparing this dish; Staub USA is an excellent source if you are looking for one.
- 2 (2-1/2 to 3 pound) broiler-fryer chickens, quartered
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
- 5 to 6 slices thick cut bacon, cut into large pieces
- 1 leek, sliced
- 1 medium parsnip, coarsely chopped
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
- 4 bay leaves
- 4 plums, pitted and cut into wedges
- 1-1/2 cups chardonnay
- 1 (14-1/2 ounce) can chicken broth or stock
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 15 to 20 pearl onions, trimmed and peeled*
- 1 pound mushrooms (chanterelles, cremini, etc.), whole or cut in bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot
- 2 tablespoons water
- Mashed Potatoes
Preheat oven to 300°F. Season chicken pieces generously with salt, pepper and the 2 teaspoons nutmeg; set aside. In Dutch oven cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from Dutch oven with slotted spoon. Drain bacon on paper towels. Brown chicken pieces, half at a time, in hot bacon drippings until golden brown. Remove chicken from Dutch oven. Drain all but 1 tablespoon drippings from Dutch oven.
Add leek, parsnip and garlic to Dutch oven; cook 4 minutes over medium heat or until garlic lightly browns. Remove Dutch oven from heat. Carefully add brandy to Dutch oven. Return to heat. Cook and stir to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of Dutch oven and until brandy glazes the bottom of the Dutch oven. Add thyme, bay leaves, and half the plums. Add wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until mixture is reduced by one-third. Add chicken stock. Bring to boiling. Add chicken pieces to Dutch oven. Cover Dutch oven; place in the oven. Bake 30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (180°F).
Remove chicken from liquid and set aside. Strain braising liquid; discard solids. Skim fat from braising liquid. You should have about 2-1/2 cups liquid.
Heat oil in Dutch oven. Add pearl onions; cook 6 minutes or until browned. Add mushrooms and remaining plums; cook 4 minutes more or until tender. Add braising liquid and remaining 1 teaspoon nutmeg. In a small bowl combine arrowroot and water; add to Dutch oven. Cook and stir until mixture is slightly thickened and comes to a boil. Stir in bacon and chicken pieces; heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with Mashed Potatoes. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
*Tip: To peel pearl onions, cook trimmed onions in medium saucepan in enough boiling water to cover 1 minute; drain well. Cool onions slightly; push onion from peel by squeezing root end.
Black Forest Cake
While Black Forest Cake usually calls for kirsch, or cherry-flavor brandy, we decided sweet cherries soaked in port would be an admirable substitute. We also lightened the cake batter, giving it a more airy texture.
To help achieve this, non-stick cake pans make the job easier. We used the Williams-Sonoma Goldtouch nonstick 9-inch round cake pans. The aluminized steel distributes heat evenly and the nonstick surface helps release the cake layers without sticking. For this cake, we still recommend lining the pans with parchment paper to ensure the finished layer doesn't stick to the pan.
Port-Cherry Filling
- 4 cups fresh or frozen pitted sweet cherries
- 1-1/4 cups good-quality port
- 2 8-ounce cartons mascarpone cheese
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Chocolate Cake
- 6 ounces sweet baking chocolate, chopped
- 2-1/4 cups milk
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 2-2/3 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons port
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup butter, softened
Whipped Cream Topping
- 3 cups whipping cream
- 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 teaspoon lemon extract
- Toasted coconut chips (3 cups)*
For Port-Cherry Filling:
Thaw cherries if frozen; drain. In medium bowl combine cherries and 1-1/4 cups port. Cover; let stand 1 hour. Drain cherries, reserving liquid. Transfer well-drained cherries to food processor. Cover; process until nearly smooth. Add mascarpone cheese and the 3 tablespoons powdered sugar to cherries. Cover; process until just combined. Transfer cherry mixture to large bowl. Cover; chill until ready to assemble cake.
For Chocolate Cake:
In medium saucepan combine chocolate and milk. Cook and stir over low heat until melted; set aside to cool. In medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottoms and sides of three 9x2-inch round cake pans. Line bottoms of pans with parchment paper. Grease parchment paper and generously coat pans with flour.
In large bowl combine eggs, egg yolk and 2 cups granulated sugar. Place bowl over skillet or saucepan of simmering water. Cook and stir until an instant read thermometer reaches 110ºF. Remove from heat.
Using an electric mixer, beat mixture until it becomes very light and thick, about 10 to 15 minutes. Whisk in 3 tablespoons port and 1 teaspoon vanilla until just combined.
In very large bowl beat butter and remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar until well combined. Alternately add flour and chocolate mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Carefully fold in egg mixture just until combined. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans.
Bake in preheated oven 20 to 25 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted near centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack for 10 minutes.
Brush tops of cakes with 2 tablespoons of reserved cherry mixture. Remove from pans and cool thoroughly on wire racks. Remove and discard parchment paper.
For Whipped Cream Topping
Combine 3 cups whipping cream, 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar, 3/4 teaspoon vanilla and 3/4 teaspoon lemon extract in large mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
To assemble cake, brush cake layers with another 2 tablespoons reserved cherry liquid (discard remaining cherry liquid). Place one cake layer on serving platter. Spread with half the cherry/mascarpone mixture. Repeat layers ending with final cake layer portion. Spread top and sides of cake with whipped cream mixture. Press toasted coconut shards onto the sides and top of cake. Makes 16 servings.
*Tip: To toast coconut chips, preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut chips in an even layer in 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake 5 to 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown, stirring once. Fresh peeled coconuts are available at some grocery stores and melissas.com. Use a vegetable peeler to peel shards from coconut meat; toast as directed.
