Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Definitive Technology XTR®-20BP by Kristen Schaub You've just filled your shopping cart with a gorgeous set of skinny on-wall speakers for the front of your room...but what about the back? The compact XTR-20BP surround speaker perfectly matches Definitive's award-winning XTR series speakers, so you can enjoy the same ultra-shallow speaker look for your entire home theater. Plus, this speaker boasts the same rich, realistic sound and wide soundstage as its larger siblings. State-of-the-art driver design for impressively accurate sound The XTR-20BP uses two 3-1/2" XTDD drivers angled in opposite directions to broaden the midrange dispersion, creating a diffuse soundfield that will envelope you in the on-screen action. These shallow drivers optimize every part of the speaker surface to maintain a high level of performance. At the center of the baffle is the same pure aluminum dome tweeter used in Definitive's flagship speakers. It produces extended highs, revealing nuance and shimmer without a trace of edginess. Building an XTR system The XTR-20BP's enclosure is made of black hand-polished aluminum for a sleek look that'll go well with most modern décors. It comes with an easy-to-use wall mount bracket that gives it a mounted depth of just 2-9/16". It also comes with a convenient base for when you want to use it on a shelf or table. Put together a complete home theater system using XTR-40, XTR-50, or XTR-60 speakers for your front three channels. Then use the XTR-20BPs for surround channel duties, and you'll be rewarded with spacious and enveloping surround effects. And for high-impact bass, check out these Definitive subwoofers. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center. Shop our selection of speaker wire. Did you know? Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality.

Overview: The Definitive Technology Mythos XTR-20BP is a bipolar surround loudspeaker intended for use as a surround speaker or surround back speaker in a 5.1 or 7.1 channel home theater configuration. This full-range bipolar surround speaker combines spacious soundstaging and lifelike depth-of-field with easy-to-position convenience. The Definitive Technology Mythos XTR-20BP features two angled 3-1/2" XTDD mid/bass drivers and one pure aluminum 1" dome tweeter for excellent high frequency extension and midrange detail. The Mythos XTR-20BP features a slim extruded aluminum enclosure which measures only 2.5" deep. Driver Technology Enclosure Design Connections Mounting Options Driver Technology Bipolar Design: Bipolar speakers can be utilized to spread sound over a wider area. The Mythos XTR-20BP surround speaker contains two 3-1/2 inch XTDD mid/bass drivers that are angled (at 16°) in opposite directions to broaden the midrange dispersion for a spacious and enveloping surround effect. Bipolar speakers fill the room with an enveloping sound, creating the illusion of multiple speakers surrounding your entire room. Using bipolar speakers as surrounds or surround back speakers creates an experience that seems larger than your room. Pure Aluminum Dome Tweeter: The Mythos XTR-20BP features a center-mounted, pure aluminum 1" dome tweeter. The pure aluminum dome tweeter provides clarity, dynamic range, and extended high-frequency response. XTDD Technology Drivers: The Definitive Technology Mythos XTR-20BP surround speaker utilizes Definitive's patent-pending XTDD technology anodized Aluminum dome driver for extraordinary performance. Using state-of-the-art computer modeling and decades of speaker design experience, Definitive engineers eliminated every inch of wasted space, optimized every part, and maximized the moving surface area of a dynamic driver to shrink it down to a very compact dimension without giving up ultra high performance audio fidelity. The XTDD drivers provide dynamic punch, a wide frequency range, and broad dispersion that flat vibrating membrane panel-type speakers simply cannot match. Timber Matched: The Mythos XTR-20BP bipolar surround speaker is timber matched for use with the Definitive Technology Mythos XTR series LCR speakers. Enclosure Design Extruded Aluminum Enclosure: The Mythos XTR-20BP features a hand-polished, gloss-black, aircraft-grade, extruded aluminum enclosure with proprietary damping technologies that ensure total rigidity. All components of the speaker are mounted on a resonance-free PolyStone baffle. These rock-solid construction technologies along with state-of-the-art drivers and tweeter serve to deliver classic Definitive Technology sound quality: wide soundstage, spacious imaging, high dynamic impact, and superb realism. Magnetic Grille: The Mythos XTR-20BP bipolar surround speaker features a black cloth magnetic grille which easily attaches and detaches from the speaker. Connections Speaker Terminals: The Mythos XTR-20BP bipolar surround speaker is equipped with a plug-in C-clamp speaker terminal to attach your receiver's speaker wire (up to 14 AWG). Mounting Options Applications: The Mythos XTR-20BP bipolar surround speaker can be used as a surround speaker and surround back channel speaker in a 5.1 or 7.1 channel configuration. Tabletop Placement: The Mythos XTR-20BP surround speaker can be placed on a table, shelf, or stand in a horizontal or vertical orientation. The XTR-20BP can be simply laid on its side to place the speaker horizontally. A vertical foot-stabilizer is included to rest the speaker vertically. Wall Mounting: The XTR-20BP can be mounted directly to the wall using the two key-hole slots on the back of the enclosure and the included wall-mount bracket (mounting screws sold separately). The Mythos bipolar surround speaker can be mounted on the wall horizontally or vertically. There is also a single 1/4"-20 threaded screw insert on the back of the speaker's enclosure, if you wish to use an optional articulating wall-mount bracket (sold separately). Note: A horizontal and vertical template is supplied to help with installation.

I purchased this set as rear speakers for my home setup, and replaced a set of Bose rear speakers. These, coupled with the front and center channels of the same design are an amazing setup. The sound is clean and crisp with no noticeable distortion even at reference levels, and have a wide range. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a low profile wall mounted speaker. Pros: Small, well built metal chassis, great sound, easy hookups. Cons: None Was this review helpful?

Letters to the editor - Saturday (7-20-2013)
Think whites don't riot? Take a look at history
In response to letters from Mr. Younts and Hoffman, yes, white people do riot. If you ask the hundreds who were killed in the 1921 Tulsa and 1923 Rosewood riots, they may say differently.
If you ask the civil rights marchers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge on "Bloody Sunday" in 1965, they may say differently. If you ask those who faced angry mobs that had to be controlled by the National Guard at the University of Alabama and Ole Miss just for trying to get an opportunity at an equal education, they may say differently.
If you could ask those in the iconic videos suffering at the end of fire hoses and in the grips of the teeth of police dogs being egged on by equally angry citizenry, they may disagree with you.
I would suggest you talk to the mother of Emmett Till and the widow of Medgar Evers and then make glib remarks about responses to our system of justice. I guarantee your response will then be crickets. Instead of taking to a forum to debase an entire culture and hurl incendiary remarks that have no redeemable value in healing wounds and bringing people together, try to understand the motivation for why people feel it necessary to take to the streets in the face of repeated judicial injustices. And we wonder why the divide between the races will never lessen?
— Kenneth L. Hardin
Medicare worth celebrating
July 30 of this year marks Medicare's 48th anniversary. I want to remind everyone how important this program is to seniors 65 and over.
Medicare has kept millions of people from falling into poverty; its overhead is below 2 percent, and the vast majority of seniors prefer it over private insurance. Any cuts to Medicare, masked as "savings" by Congress and the president, should be off the table.
Instead, to celebrate 48 years of the country's most important program, we should improve and expand Medicare to everyone living in the United States. Medicare-for-all would save the country over $400 billion a year, provide universal coverage and eliminate the wasteful private insurance industry's enormous profits and CEO bonuses.
— Gary Lineberger

Rapper Frank Ocean on bisexuality: Life is dynamic
Rapper lauded for coming out earlier this year
Frank Ocean knows that he broke ground as an artist by openly discussing his sexuality earlier this year, and you'll get no false humility from him about it.
The musician, who's one of GQ's men of the year, tells the magazine that he did decide to post a letter about a same-sex relationship on his Tumblr just ahead of the release of his album "Channel Orange" because he knew "it had to be in concert with one of the most brilliant pieces of art that has come out in my generation."
"Some people said, 'He's saying he fell in love with a guy for hype.' As if that's the best hype you can get in hip-hop or black music," Ocean says. "So I knew that if I was going to say what I said, it had to be in concert with one of the most brilliant pieces of art ... And that's what I did. Why can I say that? Why I don't have to affect all this humility and s*** is because I worked my a** off. I worked my face off."
He knew how he wanted to present his honesty, but that didn't make him less afraid that his frankness would put his career off course.
"In black music, we've got so many leaps and bounds to make with acceptance and tolerance in regard to that issue," he tells GQ. "It reflects something just ingrained, you know. When I was growing up, there was nobody in my family - not even my mother - who I could look to and be like, 'I know you've never said anything homophobic.' So, you know, you worry about people in the business who you've heard talk that way."
Ocean's referenced both men and women in the sultry lines of his acclaimed music, but does that mean he sees himself as bisexual? When GQ asked, Ocean instructed that they move on to the next question before adding, "I'll respectfully say that life is dynamic and comes along with dynamic experiences, and the same sentiment that I have towards genres of music, I have towards a lot of labels and boxes," he said.
"I'm in this business to be creative ... I'm not a centerfold. I'm not trying to sell you sex. People should pay attention to that in the letter: I didn't need to label it for it to have impact," Ocean continued. "Because people realize everything that I say is so relatable, because when you're talking about romantic love, both sides in all scenarios feel the same s***. As a writer, as a creator, I'm giving you my experiences. ... I'm giving you what I feel like you can feel. The other s***, you can't feel. You can't feel a box. You can't feel a label."

Cross Country - Boys Varsity
Div. II New England Champions • 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995
Boys Cross Country has been one of the most successful athletic programs at Berkshire since its inception at the School in 1966. The team takes advantage of Berkshire's beautiful setting with a course (installed in 2008) that has striking views of the campus. The course is challenging, but idyllic in that it truly incorporates a variety of different terrains. Additionally, favorite running loops on country roads in the surrounding rolling hills of southwestern Massachusetts provide even more territory than Berkshire's own 400 acres.
Berkshire runners compete in the annual Canterbury Invitational, a number of Division I and II dual, tri, and quad meets, and the New England Prep School Championship - which Berkshire has proudly hosted a number of times. Though we have established a tradition of excellence, runners of every talent level are encouraged to come out for Cross Country at Berkshire. Creating a team that appreciates each other and the sport of running is the ultimate goal every season. This year's squad, though young, is showing qualities of toughness, persistence, and team spirit, all of which bode well for the coming season.

I'm curious how this one turned out as well...its a great profile, and clay hardened W2 is right up my alley lol!
[B][I]I try to be the man I am..in times of broken lives. Shattered dreams and plans..standing up to fight. Pressures and demands..staring at the knife. Holding in your hands..[/I][/B]
Heath's been through many iterations of this knife, it doesn't like him, keeps cracking . He lost his work space and is waiting for his new space to get ready so, he can move in and get set up.
I haven't lived the life I wanted, just the lives I needed too at the time.
Heath and I have been in contact over the coarse of this knife build. It's definitely taken him longer than he originally intended, and Son is correct in that Heath has had to move his operation. I'm still super excited about it, but in the meantime I've got plenty of toys to play with to keep me busy and patient. I'm sure that with Heath's diligence coupled with his drive toward excellence, this knife will not disappoint.
Just another reminder that some things are worth the wait!
Heath's a really great guy to deal with, and more importantly, a stand up guy. My knife that he made me is a cutting machine.

Dicy McCullough: Cleveland church embraces helping others
As a way to express Christian love to families in the community, Embracing Hearts, a women's group from Cornerstone Baptist Church in Cleveland held its second outreach program on Saturday, April 27. Services offered were a free mammogram, dental care, groceries, haircuts, massages, manicures, chiropratic care, prayer support and lunch. While most of the services were for women, men came for dental work, blood pressure checks and health care.
Planning for the second annual event began in September of 2012, under the leadership of Jeanette Nelson, president of the group. With a plan in place by October, a grant was written for money to obtain a mobile mammography unit from Charlotte Radiology. When news came in March the grant had been approved, everyone was happy that women in the community would have the opportunity to receive much needed medical attention.
This being the second year of the event, some of the foundational planning and organization were already in place, which made the process a little easier. With everyone working at the church the Friday night before to prepare for the event, all that was left to do Saturday morning was to greet and serve the people.
The morning started out a little cool and damp, but even the weather couldn't dampen the spirits of those who came to serve. After group pictures, and with both the Dental Bus from the N.C. Baptist Men's Association and the mobile mammography unit from Charlotte Radiology in place, everyone was ready, willing and able to minister to those who came through the doors.
In order for visitors to know who to go to for help, members of Embracing Hearts wore hot pink t-shirts with I John 4:7 printed on the back that said, "Love one another." Becoming an honorary member for the day, Pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church, Josh Grizzle agreed to wear a matching black t-shirt. He took good natured teasing about not wearing hot pink like the ladies, but said with a heart and lace intertwined over the verse the black t-shirt was "girlie" enough for him.
As a runner, my job was to get patients to and from the dental bus and was truly amazed to see how happy people were to see a dentist. After procedures, with their jaw still numb and barely able to talk, patients often expressed how thankful they were someone cared enough to help them. Just like last year, I heard over and over, "This is what the church should be about. It's great to see how much people care."
There were many special moments, but an especially touching one happened near the end of the day. Because there were only four dentists working, it was necessary to pre-arrange dental appointments. One lady who came early in the morning needing dental care didn't have an appointment, but decided to stay all day, hoping a spot would open.
By 2 p.m., with still no dental appointments available, Jeanette said she hoped God would open up a spot for the lady. It was almost like God heard Jeanette's request because within five minutes a spot opened. When everyone heard the news, cheers went up throughout the building.
While waiting for appointments, visitors often passed the time playing games. Judy Huss and Karen Toney, members of Embracing Hearts, assisted with this activity. Judy was touched to hear the appreciation and gratitude of those who came to the outreach program and won't ever forget a mother who brought her children to get food, lunch and a hair cut because her husband had recently been laid off from work. The outreach program was a "God-send" for them.
There's no doubt hard work went into getting ready for the event, including extra duties and meetings. Sometimes there was frustration because of the uncertainty about how things were going to work, or if the needs of the people would be met, but in the end every minute of preparation was worth it.
One Embracing Hearts' member, Angela Benfield Harkey, summed it up this way: "Today, a wonderful group of women received much needed mammograms, dental care and pampering. In return, Embracing Hearts received compliments for all of the love, hard work and dedication they poured into the event. What a blessing to serve ... What a day!"
Even though Embracing Hearts had the vision, the event could not have happened without church and community members volunteering their gifts and time in a joint effort to make the day a success. In the words of the prophet, Isaiah, "If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light shine in the darkness and your gloom arise in the noonday." No one can deny that on Saturday, April 27, 2013, a light was shining bright in the little town of Cleveland at Cornerstone Baptist Church.

August 7, 2005
Dear CODEPINK activist,
Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq, is holding vigil in Crawford, Texas until she gets a meeting with George Bush. She has some simple questions to ask him: Why did you kill my son? What did my son die for? If the cause is so noble, why don't you send your twins? She also has a clear demand: Honor our sacrifices by bringing our nation's sons and daughters home from a war based on lies and deceptions.
Knowing that every day lives are being lost in the war on Iraq, Cindy, Diane and Ann have taken an uncompromising position. This is a powerful moment in our struggle that cannot be overlooked by any of us who care deeply about the lives that are being wasted in this immoral war. When we are given the opportunity to witness someone else's courage in the face of struggle, it is a gift. An even greater gift comes when we are presented with the possibility of joining boldly in that struggle.
This vigil and fast follows in the footsteps of all those throughout history who have taken extreme action, putting their own needs aside to save our humanity. We are reminded of another great soul, Robin Cooke, former British Foreign Secretary who, in 2003, resigned from Blair's cabinet in protest of the invasion of Iraq. Cooke died on Saturday, but his courageous example lives on for all of us to follow until the last foreign soldier leaves Iraq.
In solidarity,
P.S. Please join us in Washington DC on September 24-26 as we rally for the troops to come home and make sure you list your reason to get out of Iraq on onemillionreasons.org and pass it on to others.
To help sustain our work and actions, please consider making a donation to CODEPINK today.

Like most other folk, I filled out the on-line free sample box and then forgot all about it. However, it appears Norway Ind. didn't, and a little packet arrived this morning with $1.18 postage on it and nine vanes inside.
I am fletching them onto some spare Lightspeed 340's and we'll see how they go.
I'm more interested in flight than visibility, but I can think of more than a few shots that I took at a heavily wooded 3D comp yesterday, where it would have been a huge advantage to have been able to clearly see where my arrow had landed (or even the target on a couple of shots!).

An international feast for the eyes….Sculpture Objects, Functional Art + Design Fair – SOFA
Chicago's Art Fair Company hosted the 19th annual SOFA CHICAGO at Navy Pier's Festival Hall on November 2-4, with an opening preview on Thursday, November 1 from 5-9PM. More than 60 dealers from 11 countries displayed their art to over 32,000 guests through the weekend.
Opening night began with Stephen Rolfe Powell introducing Italian glass Maestro Lino Tagliapietra, who cut the ribbon and welcomed attendees along with Michelle Boone, commissioner, City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events; Daniel Schulman, program director, Visual Art of the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events; Silvio Marchetti, director, Italian Cultural Institute; Alessandro Motta, Consul General of Italy in Chicago; and Joanna McNamara, strategic development manager, Chubb Personal Insurance; and Scott Zuercher, area general manager, Audi of America, Inc.
The longest running art fair in Chicago, SOFA featured extarordinary art from around the world, including a celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Studio Glass Movement. The glass movement begin at the Toledo Art Museum in Toledo, Ohio, by Harvey K. Littleton, ceramics professor, University of Wisconsin, and Dominick Labino, research scientists and vice president, Toledo's Johns-Mansville glass plant.
Following a visit to Murano, Italy, and a lot of experimenting, these gentlemen took glass blowing to the next level beginning at the University of Wisconsin where Dale Chihuly and Marvin Lipofsky studied their trade. Highlight of the fair – the Corning Museum of Glass' Hot Glass Roadshow which exhibited glassblowing demonstrations much to the delight of the attendees.
"Celebrating this important anniversary of the Studio Glass Movement was a wonderful way to commence SOFA CHICAGO, and we are honored that civic officials, our sponsors, VIPs and collectors came to take part in this historical milestone," shared Donna Davies, Director of SOFA CHICAGO.
What was the biggest ticket item that sold? Hawk Galleries (Columbus, Ohio) sold William Morris' life-size bronze Rhyton Bull sculpture for $325,000. Second place – PISMO Fine Art Glass (Denver, Colorado) sold a glass komono Spring Dawn by Markow & Norris for $125,000.
Jim Schantz, owner/director, Schantz Galleries (Stockbridge, Massachussettes) commented, "SOFA CHICAGO 2012 was certainly one of the highest quality shows to date. Our gallery's feature exhibition of Lino Tagliapietra's newest works drew a great deal of attention. We have already placed three major works and saw a great response from collectors and museums interested in the Lino's new glass panels. They are a testament to Lino's unending creativity and continual fascination with the glass medium as an art form."
VIPs attending the event were invited to attend and participate in 22 tours, lectures and special events, both on- and off-site, including a tour of the Richard H. Driehaus Museum and lectures given by gallerists and artists.
Mark your calendars, SOFA CHICAGO will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year, November 1-3, 2013, with opening night to be held on October 31.

As so many of you know, trail work is my passion. Each year I write an essay/story about trail work, sometimes for essay contests, but more often just as an appeal to let people know the task before us as trail workers. I guess a nice thrill is that in some cases they have been printed or posted on local papers or newsletters back home where I grew up. This year I submitted the essay also to Philip Werner as a guest essay for the site "Sectionhiker.com" and am greatly honored that he would post it on his site as of today.
While it weaves a story along with an appeal, I also think many will find it interesting due to the fact that I was allowed by the AMC to incorporate data from the annual North Country Trail Volunteer Program Annual Report.
So if you are already a volunteer trail worker, you will hopefully be familiar with many of the sentiments involved, and if you are thinking of being a trail volunteer, perhaps it will add a bit of steam to your train.
The whole story can be found here (Philip was nice enough to incorporate some pictures too):

I've got a 5 week old Martin Exile, and today while I was at the range on the last target I noticed that my string had broken.
I would think that a string should last about a year, and not just 5 weeks. This is the factory string.
I've read the warranty on the bow it it pretty much categorically states that string isn't covered, but there has to be some kind of problem with the string for it to have broken in such a short time.
The bow has lived in a hard bow case and only come out for a few shoots totalling about 800 arrows.
Am I totally our of luck with a warranty replacement on this kind of thing? To me it seems to be a faulty part. To be out of pocket for a new string only weeks after purchasing the bow seems a bit wrong.
I have attached a photo of the broken string for reference.
Any advice you can give would be great

The End of Kate Mantilini's
Kate Mantilini's diner in LA is closing tonight for good. I just heard the news earlier today. Apparently a dispute with the landlord (i.e., he wanted more money). It was one of the few places in LA I felt comfortable walking into. A lot of other people felt the same way, too. Most of you reading this live in Saginaw or Missoula or Perth. So you've probably never heard of Kate Mantilini's, but I thought I might share this little slice of my "L.A. life" with you. I don't live in L.A., don't have a place to stay when I'm in L.A., but a large part of my life and work revolves around L.A. I had never even visited L.A. before my first movie was made — why would I? Even though both of my sisters moved to California ages ago, they didn't live in L.A., so other than one trip to Orange County to take the kids to Disneyland, Los Angeles was basically "Chinatown," "Baywatch," "American Graffiti" and The Doors. But it soon became the place I went to get many of my movies and TV shows made, and over time, as I made close friends and got to work with some incredible people, I sorta fell in love with the place. Not enough to live there — after all, I like sky, fall colors, snow, fresh air, and a proper time zone — but I do love visiting there, driving around in the crazy traffic, cars stopping to let people cross in the middle of the street, hanging out backstage at Bill Maher's, browsing through Book Soup, watching an old movie at the Egyptian, standing and looking down at Groucho's star, thinking of Belushi when I pass by the Chateau. Florence and Normandy. The Ambassador Hotel. Each time I land I try to do my best Benjamin Braddock impersonation on the moving walkway to baggage claim. People out here seem, I dunno — happier? More relaxed? Too fit? Kate Mantilini's is/was a pleasant, comfortable diner on the corner of Wilshire and Doheny, the border between the city of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. Because it technically sits on the Beverly Hills side of the street, nobody calls it a "diner", but that's what it is. Eggs any time, fish-n-chips, meatloaf, root beer floats — it's all there until 3 or 4 in the morning. Kate's became the place for me to meet up with people, whether for work, or to comiserate, or maybe just for a hot turkey sandwich (White bread! In L.A.!). I had my first meal there with people who are now among my closest friends. I made the deal to do two of my movies there. Our "Sicko" premiere afterparty was there. It was also where I spent my final moments of pre-9/11 America, having some laughs in the wee morning hours with a friend who had just come from the record release party (records!) for the latest album by Megadeath. It was held in a Hollywood cemetery at midnight. I looked at my watch (a watch!), which I kept on Eastern Time, and it said "7:00am Sept. 11 2001". We called it a night… clueless that we weren't just calling an end to a "night." From that point on, politically-speaking, night never lifted. And it was a year-and-a-half later, during dinner one March evening at Kate Mantilini's, that someone came in and announced that the U.S. was at war with Iraq. A TV was turned on and the bombs were raining down on Baghdad. Nobody felt like eating — and didn't. Larry, Tom, Terry, Jeff, Anne, Veronica, Tia, Carl, Meghan — where will we meet up now? I heard of a place called "Mao's Kitchen" on Melrose and Fairfax. Wanna try that next time?

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 2, 2009) — Jockey Corey Nakatani capped a three-win day with a perfectly-timed ride aboard 11-1 shot Gorgeous Goose as she caught defending champ Diamond Diva in the final strides to win Saturday's $100,000 Wilshire Handicap by three-quarters of a length at Hollywood Park.
Gorgeous Goose, owned by Mary Anne Denes and Mary Ellen Woelfel, rallied from sixth with a quarter-mile to run, covering one mile on the Lakeside Turf Course in 1:34.54. Odds-on favorite Diamond Diva, making her first start since winning the CashCall Mile here last July, held second by three-quarters of a length over Charming Legacy with Bel Air Sizzle finishing fourth in the field of nine fillies and mares.
The day turned out well for Nakatani, who had been scheduled to ride Square Eddie in the Kentucky Derby, only to have the horses scratched earlier this week.
"Last year we went through a lot of issues health-wise, broken bones and all that good stuff," Nakatani said of a pair of collarbone injures in 2008. "We're just trying to get healthy and back on track. I'm feeling good and getting to ride for top outfits again. This filly was training really well for this race and Mike (Puype) was pretty high on her. She's a really nice filly and today the race set up perfect for her. I wasn't surprised at all."
Gorgeous Goose paid $25.80, $8.80 and $5.20 while helping set up a Pick Six carryover of $97,515 on Sunday. Diamond Diva, ridden by David Flores, returned $2.80 and $2.60, while the show payoff on Charming Legacy with Tyler Baze up was $5.20.
Gorgeous Goose, off five months after finishing second in the Harold C. Ramser Handicap in October, banked $60,000 to boost her earnings to $223,574. The win was the 4-year-old's fourth in 14 starts.
"Corey rode a perfect race," said trainer Mike Puype, who combined for two wins with Nakatani. "She showed good talent in the race before the layoff when she got beat a nose over at Santa Anita. The race down the hill when she came back was outstanding. In her last race she lost all momentum when she came across the dirt. She skipped wide to the right and lost all chance at that point. The odds were a little inflated today based on that particular situation, but she ran really good today. She had good pace to run at and she ran really well."
Flores looks for better things for Diamond Diva despite the setback.
"She ran great," he said. "I thought she was going to pull, but no, she was nice and comfortable. She was on the bridle all the way. I wait and wait and wait as much as I could, but she just got a little tired. She'll be good to go next time."Joel Rosario also rode three winners Saturday, giving him eight in the last two days. He leads the jockeys' standings 17-14 over Rafael Bejarano, who spent the week at Churchill Downs.

At the same corner, El Castillo Mexican Restaurant, a Tracy culinary mainstay since 1956 and our town's oldest family-owned restaurant, will soon close its doors, and a new version of Helm's Ale House will take its place.
Ray and Josephine Morelos, owners and operators of El Castillo for more than half of the restaurant's 57 years of existence, plan to retire after closing the restaurant as soon as sometime next month.
What will replace El Castillo at the historic corner — once home of Charlie Clark's Terminal Grill — is close to being finalized.
Dave Helm, who operated Helm's Ale House at the corner 10th and Central for more than two years, said he is working out details of a lease agreement with the Cose family, which owns the building, to take over the corner location for a restaurant and full bar.
Helm was forced to close his original ale house in October 2011 after the building he rented was ordered vacated because of structural deficiencies and safety issues. It remains empty to this day.
El Castillo was founded in 1956 by Francisco and Paula Cisneroz, parents of Josephine "Josie" Morelos. The parents ended lives as migrant farm workers to settle in Tracy and open the restaurant on Central Avenue
"I was 10 years old when my family opened the restaurant," Josie said. "I started helping my mother in the kitchen, and that's when I started learning how to cook."
She has continued for more than a half-century as El Castillo's main cook.
The restaurant has offered a variety of Mexican dishes based on the fare of the Cisneroz family's hometown of Morelia, Mexico.
"One of the dishes that has been a favorite of our customers is chile rellenos," Ray reported. "We use light Anaheim peppers stuffed with cheese and fried in batter. They have more flavor than chile rellenos made with other varieties of peppers."
After it was originally located at 623 Central Ave., El Castillo was moved in 1979 to larger quarters at the southeast corner of Ninth Street and Central Avenue.
Then it was located on Grant Line Road for nine years before it returned in 2001 to Tracy's downtown at Sixth and Central.
"We wanted to get back downtown were we started," Ray said. "After we took possession of the building, we did extensive remodeling to create a restaurant with 75 seats and a full bar."
In addition to serving regular customers, El Castillo hosted a number of community organizations and was honored by the Tracy Hispanic Business Group.
Morelos, who served on the City Council, said he plans to stay active in the community.
He was 2012 chairman of the Tracy Chamber of Commerce's board of directors, served as president of the South Side Community Organization and has been active in the Tracy Hispanic Business Group and the Tracy City Center Association.
A Marine Corps veteran of Vietnam, Morelos is a member of the American Legion and VFW.
Helm said he hoped to be in business at the Sixth and Central location by June 1.
"We will do some minor remodeling, but the location is already well-equipped with a kitchen and bar," he said. "And there is outdoor seating, a real plus."
As he did at his original location, he plans to offer an array of craft beers. But the new Helm's Ale House will also have a full bar to augment a restaurant that will be open for lunch and dinner.
"Within two blocks, there will be five restaurants in the vicinity of the new downtown plaza and restored Grand Theatre," Helm said. "It will be a great place for our kind of business. I'm anxious to get going as soon as possible."

Estela & Ada's "Waldessori" Playroom & Enchanted Sunroom
Names: Estela Luz and Ada Maria (2.5 and 9 months)
Location: Takoma Park, MD
Danielle has two wonderful spaces to share with us today: her daughters' "Waldessori" playroom and their artsy sunroom: Ada, our little one, is on the move. Today I turned my back and found her in the middle of a large pile of tiny slobbery bits of paper and decided it was time to re-think the playroom - shift everything up a level and create some inviting play spaces for both girls.
I'm by no means an expert when it comes to designing learning/play environments for young children. I don't have a teaching background or an unlimited budget to go wild with. I have, however, read a lot, browsed many inspiring internet sites, become a pro at thrift and yard sale shopping and gained some experience through my first child.
I call our playroom style "Waldessori" because I've borrowed a lot of ideas that are both Montessori and Waldorf inspired. Mostly though, it's what has come together through trial and error and thrift store karma.
The "Enchanted Sunroom" is our messy, artsy, colorful, light-filled playspace. Our beautiful sunroom was nothing but a lovely place to store firewood until we decided to turn it into a playspace for our two girls.
We wanted them to be able to engage in outdoors-type activities (gardening, hammering, watering plants) even in the winter months and we wanted a space that encouraged them to make art with wild abandon. I think we succeeded!
Thanks Danielle! Readers find Danielle at Mama & the Music Man.

Dreamy! I love the mini laundry stuff and mop. These are some lucky girls. Also - big ups to Takoma Park!
This is so beautiful! What wonderful, warm spaces. I also love that you have devoted two whole rooms to the girls' play.
Teensy Van Gogh!
I love these rooms and the coined term. Your girls are lucky!
I really like this! Saving for future reference.
Also, I was about to name my daughter a variation of your eldest's name--Lucia Stella. We kept the first, but the hubs wanted a different middle name.
I went to Montessori, and really believe in its mission re: education... great job organizing the space and the toys ("work" in Montessori-speak) :). I especially love the basket of shells and magnifying glass.
Waldessori! After touring several elementary schools prior to our oldest's kindergarten year, my husband and I joked between ourselves that what we really wanted was a 'Mondorf" school. (Nice to know we are not the only ones out there inclined to mix the two.) The space looks GREAT! What a wonderful place to play. Beautiful windows in that room too.
As a nanny, I have input on my charges play rooms. I've always liked a lot of color and interesting play things that encourage creativity. These 2 rooms are inspiring and offer an incentive for me to do a bit of winter remodeling.
Incredibly inspiring! What a beautiful home you've created for your two girls. Just fantastic!
Love! Where did the wooden kitchen come from? I want.
These spaces make me really happy. I love the beautiful open-ended toys, the enchanted art space, and the clean and simple organization. Beautiful blending of aesthetics and practically. Limitless play!
I think that is the Willows kitchen.
Amazing! :)
I just *love* how dirty that tiny apron is. :) Now that's the mark of creativity!

Infamous chief course designer of "the epic", Leon Evans, had announced plenty of his beloved torturous instruments spread out across 104km and 2,300m elevation change only to be swallowed up by the blistering pace of the race leaders.
Stage two took the riders into the depths of ancient South African history, following old pioneer trails of the Boers people that were re-opened up just for the race. After a climb of 6km in length and 1,000 meters of elevation change, the pioneer trail awaited the riders with technical corners, short climbs and descents that helped the peloton recover from the tough first part of the stage.
Heading back towards the finish with view over famed Table Mountain, riders were challenged on a last technical descent - the one they had to climb upwards at the beginning of the stage. With temperatures exceeding 33 degrees centigrade and no shade, some might have been tempted to take a quick bath in one of the bonds bordering the race course despite the clock ticking. Course designer Evans had predicted the winners to cross the finish line within 4:45 hrs. He lied. The Swiss-South African duo Sauser-Stander's speedy office day ended after 4:32hrs. only.
Our BMC Mountainbike Racing Team was able to stay with the lead group for about 60 kilometers before they were forced to slow down due to dehydration suffered from the hot, changing wind blowing across Africa. Balz Weber and Alex Moos picked up the pace again after the third water stop and went all out in the final stages of the race to finish the day in 11th place after 4:51:42hrs. , 18:59 minutes behind the winners. Their final surge secured them retention of a top-10 ranking in the overall classification at 10:05:13hrs. and 37:35 min. behind the dominant 36one-Songo-Specialized duo Christoph Sauer/Burry Stander Team in 10th place.
Tomorrow's third stage departs in Tulbagh and finishes 125km and 1,900m of elevation change later in Worcester. The entire race village accompanying the riders will be moving to its next station in the meantime. Racing along smooth farmland trails, rough surface in some section will put bike equipment to test. To be seen tomorrow...
