LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Don't bother trying to Google the name of the Best Trainer Yet To Win the Kentucky Derby. The answer is Shug McGaughey, the guy determined to pry his name off that list Saturday at Churchill Downs.
McGaughey is 62. He will pursue the Kentucky Derby with Orb, the likely favorite.
"Obviously whenever you're not participating in the big races when you want to be, you kind of sit there with an empty feeling," McGaughey said. "I've had that."
McGaughey can tell you everything about the winning move that Proud Clarion made while winning the Kentucky Derby the first time he watched from the infield scrum. That was 1967. He was 16 – and helplessly hooked on horse racing.
He trained his first colt into the Derby when he was 33. He arrived with his first favorite (Easy Goer) when he was 38. Racing welcomed him into its Hall of Fame when McGaughey was 53, even though his Derby record was the same as it is today -- 0-for-6.
McGaughey has been photographed from the winner's circle of the Belmont Stakes, Florida Derby and Hollywood Derby. Don't forget his work in the Breeders' Cup. Racing insiders consider his nine victories in that event proof that nobody is better at reading and preparing horses, especially fillies.
"Nobody has a sixth sense about horses like Shug," trainer David Carroll said. "He'll be sitting there reading the paper and then look over and tell you exactly how a horse is doing. His communication with horses is unreal."
But McGaughey is a Kentucky native with a Bluegrass pedigree as dazzling as Mr. Prospector's. He knows there is a gap in his resume that can only be filled by winning the mile-and-a-quarter race that will be run at 6:24 p.m. Saturday.
"How much would it mean to him?" asked McGaughey's son, Chip. "Everything."
"I've thought about it a lot of times," McGaughey said. "It's a big itch."
Did McGaughey think it would be this challenging to scratch?
"No," he said.
Nobody did – not after McGaughey arrived at the Derby in 1984 with two solid colts – Pine Circle and Vanlandingham. He finished sixth and 16th. Seeking the Gold brought him back in 1988. No reason to celebrate a seventh-place finish.
A celebration seemed guaranteed 1989. McGaughey had moved to New York to train privately for the prestigious Phipps Stable. He came to Churchill Downs with Easy Goer, the precocious 2-year-old champion. There was talk that Easy Goer was The Next Great Thing.
It was a remarkable opportunity – surrounded with suffocating expectations. It showed. During the Derby buildup McGaughey barked at Carroll, Easy Goer's exercise rider, for working the colt too fast. Skeptics looked at the odd shape of one of the colt's feet and questioned his condition.
"There was probably some yelling and screaming," McGaughey said.
Race day was cold, wet – and disappointing. Sunday Silence outran Easy Goer down the stretch, winning the Derby by 2-1/2 lengths.
That was 24 years ago. Shug McGaughey has only started one other horse in the Derby – the forgettable Saarland, who finished 10th in 2002. Even on days when McGaughey won big, he felt as if he didn't win everything, he had not won anything. That's a fast track to race-track misery.
"I would walk out there and if I didn't win, I felt like I was embarrassed," McGaughey said. "Like I had failed. That I hadn't done what I needed to do."
Last year McGaughey saddled a horse in another stakes race here on Derby Day but was in such a rush to return to New York City that he was stopped for speeding while racing from Louisville to Lexington to make a flight.
He watched I'll Have Another and his trainer Doug O'Neill win the Derby, the race he always wanted to win, from a Mexican restaurant in Versailles, Ky. McGaughey had no clue that Orb, a late-developing 2-year-old, would bring him back this year as the favorite for Derby 139.
Like most years, McGaughey was thinking about what his stable needed to change to become more competitive in the Derby as well as the Preakness and Belmont – and what he needed to change to let go of the bile from not winning every race.
Several years ago the Phipps and Janney stables had tweaked their breeding approach, trying to incorporate more stallions known for speed than stamina.
"A little bit of it has been our pedigrees," McGaughey said. "We got to where we were trying to breed longer on the dirt so those horses wouldn't come around as early as 2-year-olds. We were kind of behind the eight-ball a little bit getting here.
"We've kind of adjusted that a little bit. That's why I say that I think that in the future we will be."
Starting, of course, on Saturday. Orb has won his last four races, showing the trademark move of a Derby winner – the ability to stalk the leaders before taking control in the final three-eighths of a mile. He has trained spectacularly at Churchill Downs, dazzling handicappers and well as fellow trainers.
Shug McGaughey has also done an impressive job of training Shug McGaughey. He appears happier, bouncing around the Churchill backside, shaking hands, greeting visitors and answering even the difficult questions about his disappointing Derby record.
He returns to the track every afternoon and many evenings. He starts at Stall 1, Barn 43 with Orb and then he simply walks down the shed row. Instead of dread, McGaughey is celebrating the anticipation of trying to win his first Kentucky Derby, especially with an improving colt that needed four chances to win his first race.
"As I've told people the last two or three weeks," McGaughey said, "with this thing, I'm all in."
Just as a Hall of Fame trainer should be.

- Telepan never disappoints!pete10023Dined on 8/27/2014Visiting Telepan on W69th Street was again an absolute treat: understated, classy ambiance; excellent, warm service; and fresh, wonderfully prepared food. And what a great experience to actually hear the people you're with! It's become my favorite restaurant in the Lincoln Center area and probably on the entire Upper West Side of Manhattan.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful as alwaysfoodievickieVIPDined on 8/26/2014We have been here several times and always have a fine meal. Started with a "lobster roll" and smoked trout. Then we had suckling pig and duck ragu pasta. Everything excellent!Special Features:
- Always a treatSfnycEateraVIPDined on 8/24/2014We eat at Telepan at least once per trip to NYC, not just because it is convenient to our apt but because the food is so good. And an ice cold martini is the idea way to start the dinner-Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go-to place for special occasionhubbydaddyDined on 8/24/2014Attentive service, impeccable food, and delightful dessert. Upscale but relaxing. Great for special occasions. The potion of each dish was just right for us (a middle-aged couple), but it might be a bit small for teenagers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Impeccable Servicejoanne112564Dined on 8/24/2014Had Sunday brunch at Telepan on W69th Street in NY. The restaurant has an upscale and trendy vibe, service was impeccable. They had a 2-course prix fixe menu for Sunday brunch. I had the Shrimp on Grits for my first course and the Wild Bass on Spanish Rice for my second. I absolutely loved the Shrimp on Grits - perfect blend of egg, grits and shrimp. My second course was okay - I thought that it was too flavor packed that I lost the taste of the bass in the whole mix - all elements or ingredients were perfectly cooked - just not a fan of the combination. My husband had the omelet and the crepes and he loved both. Air conditioning at the back room needs to be fixed as we have mentioned to our server.Special Features:
- Another Perfect BrunchBronxiteVIPDined on 8/24/2014Invited an out-of-town friend, Telepan did not disappoint. The smoked trout appetizer was its impressive self, and the ricotta/peach blintzes were sweet and light and fluffy. Mains were sea bass wtih an asian twist, which my friend quite liked, and I had the mushroom omelet, which was spectacular and nicely accompanied by buttered toast. Too full for dessert, but with two OJs, the check came in around $80 (before tip). Very professional and friendly waiter and accommodating servers.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/22/2014I would consider Telepan pretty average and was disappointed given that this is a Michelin starred restaurant. The corn chowder did not have enough corn in it but it did contain black beans that were undercooked. The raw oysters were teeny-tiny. The frutti di mare pasta had a gritty texture and the shrimp was not fresh. There were a couple of decent dishes including the halibut and the rib eye but all-in-all, it was nothing that I would rave about.
- old stoggy feelOhara3sDined on 8/20/2014Food was underwhelming, vegetables overcooked and limp. Oysters were a bit slimy. This restaurant has gone way down. While decor is nice, everyone dining there was much older who probably prefer very quiet restaurants versus an energetic one. Just can't get over how bad the food was for this kind of establishment. It's life the chef didn't care.
- Definitely a Winner!BestFFDined on 8/17/2014Telepan is always a favorite of ours for its excellent food, professional service, serene ambiance. Still, we wondered if a couple of young downtown foodies would "get it." As it turned out, we needn't have given it a thought. From the first bite of seasonal vegetables, "the best monkfish I have ever tasted," while sipping a crisp Sancerre, through the courses to blueberry sundaes and espresso, our guests' response was wholeheartedly enthusiastic. At the end of the evening there were two more fans for this deservedly popular uptown restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- gracious little gemcoast2coastDined on 8/15/2014It was nice to have a quiet dinner and walk to the central park which was a block away.Special Features:
- wonderful as alwaysrestweekDined on 8/14/2014peaceful ambiance, innovative food, excellent waiter. appreciated that there were many choices from from their regular menu for restaurant week.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great American Foodharroop45Dined on 8/14/2014I went for restaurant week with my Husband during lunch. The lunch options were great and the waiter was very helpful in helping us pick. We both got the pouched egg salad for appetizer and tunna chickpea salad for entree which were both very delicious. All ingredients were fresh and top quality. Also,the their chocolate gianduja peanut butter cake was delightful. I would definitely come back here again for lunch or dinner.Special Features:
- Great all around!LeeBVIPDined on 8/12/20144 of us tried different things and all of us loved our meals! Loved the ambience too. We live on the UWS and will definitely be back. So happy to have found this gem!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bombastic waiteramuseboucheDined on 8/7/2014Having eaten at many, many high-end restaurants without having this experience, it was surprising to find that our waiter at Telepan was not only pompous, but barely attended to us throughout the entire meal. This was on an evening when he was not particularly busy, but it took him at least 15 minutes before asking if we'd like a drink, never bothered to refill our wine glasses, and we waited another 20 mins before being able to order. The food was very good—the lobster "bolognese" was fabulous—but if the rest of the wait staff is anything like this, there are too many other excellent restaurants to ever bother going back.
- Excellent!NbmikeDined on 8/7/2014Food was amazing, service excellent. Since it was Restaurant Week, 3 course lunch was only $25. What a deal!Special Features:
- Wonderful lunchMontrealDined on 8/7/2014The restaurant week menu was the most comprehensive I've ever seen. The dishes were beautifully presented, the food delicious. A memorable dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent lunchFoodloverVIPDined on 8/7/2014Delightful experience. Restaurant week menu exceptionally generous and varied. Service gracious. Will return after Restaurant week, albeit regular menu is quite pricey.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Faltering? I hope not!ETKAVIPDined on 8/6/2014T. is one of our favorite places and we've been there dozens of times. We were 4 for dinner. Service was friendly, but surprisingly slow. We started at about 6:30, when there were not too many other occupied tables. But we were there for such a long time that the place was full by the time we finished. Staff were racing around, frequently looked at our littered table, but it took a while to clear. Small thing: two espressos were brought to the table about 10 minutes before desert. Shouldn't it be the other way around? We'll be back, and hope things get cleared up.Special Features:
- One of my most favoritesopera1VIPDined on 8/6/2014I just love this restaurant. The size of the portions is just about right, the selections are terrific, the servers are usually wonderful, the tables are nicely spaced. Ahha! it's civilized! I must admit I go only for Restaurant Week and hate myself if I miss an opportunity. The bottle of wine we shared didn't hurt the ambience at all. It was a lovely lunch, celebrating my birthday.
- Excellent as always!ZMAN33VIPDined on 8/6/2014Telepan is always a joy with great food conceived wwith a lot of creativity.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- DissapointingLocalVIPDined on 8/5/2014The food has gotten too complicated and exotic. We found it hard to actually find something we wanted to eat. Best thing we had with our meal were the cookies. The service was very friendly and professional.
- Got in the WRONG TIMEWallStreetDinerReviewerDined on 8/4/2014Expecting this restaurant was under Restaurant Week...I was completely shocked to find out they ONLY do Restaurant Week for LUNCH!! Although I had a nice meal, the price did not justify its means since I would gladly have spent $80 and upwards if it included the $38 fixe price restaurant week special. If they would just offer a restaurant-week "dinner" menu also, I'll definitely go again and try out their "wonderful" MENU!!Special Features:
- Delicious choices!LindaVVIPDined on 8/3/2014You need to meet friends at a restaurant? Choose Telepan. We went twice in a row and the food, ambiance and service does not disappoint. With dishes with lobster, halibut, trout, monkfish, duck, eggplant - there's something for everyone. And those delicious warm madeleines at the end are worth the calories as are the other desserts on the menu. It's the right choice for a special night out with friends or a romantic dinner for two. And I heard families love it too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Our waiter was Steven who took vary good care of us. He knew the menu and how the chef prepared the dishes. He could answer any questions had about several of the dishes.Special Features:
- berntasteDined on 8/1/2014The restaurant is large but they tend to seat arrivals in little sections and they fill up. the section in the back was very warm once others started to arrive and one could hear everyone's conversation. The service was quite attentive. The frutti di mare lacked creativity verging on bland, though other items were very goodSpecial Features:
- Overall a great place.ChefindreamsDined on 8/1/2014My husband and I went to telepan to celebrate his birthday. We ate the sampling menu paired with wine. Every food was prepared and delivered with care. The lobster bolonaise, halibut, and the multigrain bread made on the premise were excellent. The sauces were all good but on the salty side. Since they are striving to be the health conscious restaurant, it would be best if they would be more disciplined with the salt. For the oyster the mint overpowered the subtle flavor of the delicious sea creature, so i skimmed off the mint. The white wines were all excellent while the merlot paired with the duck was so so. Overall an outstanding place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I don't think I've ever had a fabulous dessert at Telepan. This time I went during Restaurant Week and was pleased that Telepan had an extensive lunch selection to choose from. Chose the trout, and it came crisp on the outside, tender in the inside. Perfect. Salad was little too salty. The "pop" chocolate, which sounded so tempting, was not so after first bite. Still, this is one of my favorite spots on the UWS.Special Features:

Augusta National Golf Club has announced they have named their first two female members, in what will forever be referred to as a historic moment in the golf world.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Darla Moore, of Lake City, S.C., are the two women who will share the distinguished designation as Augusta's first female members.
But today's announcement means so much more for the improvement of the game. It cannot be understated.
Augusta National and the Masters tournament have long been revered as a mecca of golf greatness rich in tradition. For over 80 years, however, the golf club maintained its all-male membership with a level of strict stubbornness that had been commonplace among many golf and country clubs across the nation. It had seemed that the acronym of "Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden" was taken literally in these cases, even amid various equal and civil rights movements that have highlighted our nation's history. Golf simply did not seem to pay attention, especially at Augusta.
Now, all of that changes. As Augusta National Chairman Billy Payne - who has been the focus of much criticism during his reign - mentioned in an official statement released earlier Monday, "This is a joyous occasion."
Make no mistake, this decision has been a long time coming. In 2002, for example, Martha Burk of the National Council of Women's Organizations urged the club to include women among its members, taking then-Chairman Hootie Johnson to task. Johnson stood his ground for many years, of course, but managed to anger Masters television sponsors for two years in the process.
Augusta National once again became the focus of equal rights supporters this year when Ginni Rometty became the newly-appointed CEO of IBM. The club traditionally extends membership offers to many of the world's top CEO's, but IBM's female chief officer forced Payne and Augusta's membership board to evaluate their stance on "no girls allowed". Payne would ultimately decide to not name Rometty as a member at that time.
Monday's announcement, however, shows that Payne may have been willing to allow female members much earlier than Augusta's membership board planned. As ESPN reported earlier Monday, a person "with knowledge of club operations said Rice and Moore first were considered as members five years ago." As anyone with knowledge of country club politics will tell you, breaking the mold of past generations is often easier said than done, which makes Augusta's announcement that much more spellbinding.
What will membership with Augusta National mean to its two newest inductees?
"Augusta National has always captured my imagination and is one of the most magically beautiful places anywhere in the world, as everyone gets to see during the Masters each April," Dana Moore said. "I am fortunate to have many friends who are members at Augusta National, so to be asked to join them as a member represents a very happy and important occasion in my life.
"Above all, Augusta National and the Masters Tournaments have always stood for excellence, and that is what is so important to me."
Secretary Rice echoes her friend's sentiments.
"I have visited Augusta National on several occasions and look forward to playing golf, renewing friendships and forming new ones through this very special opportunity," Rice said in a statement released by the club. "I have long admired the important role Augusta National has played in the traditions and history of golf. I also have an immense respect for the Masters Tournament and its commitment to grow the game of golf, particularly with youth, here in the United States and throughout the world."

Man to face trial on underage rape charges
2:18pm Monday 12th November 2012 in News
A MAN who admitted sexually abusing two underage girls will face trial by judge and jury accused of raping one and trying to rape the other.
Matthew Shaw, who was a child himself at the time, is also accused of molesting a third girl more than a decade ago.
The 27-year-old admitted two counts of indecent assault against one girl when she was under 14, in 1998 and 1999, and he was about 14 years old.
However he pleaded not guilty to a charge that he tried to rape the child when she was under 16, between mid 1999 and mid 2001, and he was 14 to 16.
He admitted one indecent assault on the second girl between the autumns of 2000 and 2002 when she was under 14 and he was 17.
But he pleaded not guilty to six other sex charges during the same period of time including an allegation that he raped her.
He denied three charges relating to a third girl who was under 14 between late 1999 and late 2001.
Shaw, formerly of Denbeck Wood, Eastleaze, admitted three counts of indecent assault, denied eight similar charges and pleaded not guilty to rape and attempted rape.
Judge Douglas Field adjourned the case for trial next year and released him on conditional bail. He told him he must live at his brother's address at Frank Warman Court, Stratton, not contact witnesses or have unsupervised contact with children under 16.

Diner Reviews
This is a great restaurant for a
special occasion novelty dining experience. All the pictures on the walls add to the fun atmosphere, as well as the friendliness and the helpfulness of the wait staff. Being given a tour of the kitchen on the way to the table was also a special treat. However, while the selection of food is wonderful, I found the family size portions to be a bit of a problem. Due to the diverse tastes of my group, ordering a portion to share proved difficult. Even the smallest portions serve at least two to four people which doesn't suit individual diners. Since the prices reflect the large portions, this restaurant would be out of my budget for me to dine here regularly. It is good for groups who can split the bill."

My family and I went to bucca di
beppo for my birthday and it was a very fun experience. I loved that the food was served family style and I liked that since it was my birthday they brought a candle to our table and sang BUCCA DI BEPPO HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG"

We went to Buca to celebrate our
11th anniversary, which seemed like a good idea since I proposed to my wife after we ate at the same restaurant. Everything started fine, and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time, but it took forever to get a refill on our drinks, and since our server never brought us water in the first place, we spent a lot of time being thirsty, waiting for someone to notice us. Our server eventually came and asked us if I wanted another drink but ignored my wife's empty glass, then never brought me the drink. We had to wait for another server to come ask us if we needed anything, and at that point we were tired of being there. We used to enjoy going to Buca, but the high price just isn't worth going back."

I was taking my son to Buca for
the first time. I had requested either kitchen seating or somewhere fun in the restaurant for a kid coming for the first time. When we got there, they took us straight to the bar. They sat us in a booth at the bar where the music was not turned up as loud as it plays in the restaurant - you could barely hear it (maybe so people could hear the TV's in the bar?). What we could hear loud and clear was the constant noise of the blender making mixed drinks for the customers in the restaurant along with all the employees hanging out chatting at the register at the bar... since our "Good Booth" was located right next to the register and blender in the bar. My server was new. I had to find my server 3 times."

We went for our son's 5th
birthday. The experience was good overall. Their ticket printer broke and our entrees took extremely long, but the manager comped the food that was delayed, which was nice. We would return because they worked to make the disappointing part better."

I recently had the pleasure of
treating my friend to Bucca De Beppo's. She has never been and I wanted to re-pay for a deed of kindness she has done for me. It was the right choice of re-payment, the food and service was excellent and the atmosphere was very energetic to say. We both had a very wonderful time of fun and food. The cake that we had for desert looked very scrumpscious and tasted even more than that. She loved her first time as a Bucca and enjoyed the look of the place as well. It is all very interesting and entertaining to look at, never a dull moment. We will both be back for future patronage. Thank you for a job well done. I couldn't have asked for better."

Our waiter kept sneaking up with
drink refills, bread, and food...he was there before we knew we needed him...and gone when we didn't. Way too much food, but that is standard at Buca's when it is just 2 of us. We will be back many times."

I decided to take my two sons
(ages 15 and 22) out to dinner on a Sunday night, armed with coupons (check online before going) and a gift certificate. The place was pretty empty, but the staff was also trimmed back a bit, so the service seemed a touch slow...nothing to really complain about though. Service was okay. I like the family-style environment. I'd say the food quality and prices are between Olive Garden and Maggiano's...closer to Maggiano's."

My wife and I took our good
friends for dinner at Buca. They had never been to one. We have frequented Buca often and was thrilled to expose them to real Italian food with great flavor, huge portions, and specialties like the Chicken Marsala that Buca makes better than anyone. I am Italian and do not get excited eating at Italian restaurants other than Buca! Our friends loved it and plan to take their family there very soon. A great night with wonderful flavors, and fantastic service!"

I chose Buca for my son's birthday
with his family of 3 children -- ages 5, 4, and 1. It was perfect! We timed our visit for 4 PM, which meant that we were nearly the only ones in the restaurant for a while. Our server was incredible. She not only helped us with family choices, but also offered great suggestions. My son is a chef -- and he was greatly impressed not only by the food, but also by the kid-friendly, unique atmosphere. This was not my first visit to Buca by far, but it was my son's -- and it won't be the last!"

Asked for booth through Open Table
shown to a table. PLaced in room celebrating a birthday with many kids, not able to have an adult conversation.Asked to be reseated told there were no other booths, when we went through Bar all booths were emptyds of undone tables/dishes piled high very unpleasant appearance in general. Ran out of our first two choices-I guess if we had ordered spaghetti we could have had it. Suggestive selling of glasses times 3X. Not going back any time soon -loved this place in the beginning and their Gorgonzola Apple salad."

We were seated in an area with
very cold air blowing on us and we were extremely uncomfortable. We had to ask twice to talk to a manager about it. Half way through dinner a manager turned down the air. Today I have a sore throat. Our waitress was very good at being absent. We had to ask for our bread after food was already served and for refills on our beverages. The food was good but I am wondering if the portions are smaller or prices have gone up as we usually had more leftovers and our bill was very high for the amount we got. Just as we were leaving a table of 4 adults and 5 small children entered our area. The children were all screaming and banging on the table.. It was time to go! Probably won't be going back too soon."

Had 11 people on our party. The
food was fine but I thought the service was on the slow side. Water wasn't filled; waited for plates after appetizers were delivered. Didn't ask us if we needed more bread. Started to pour olive oil in dipping bowl & ran out of it."
Dined on 6/7/2014
You should know what you are
getting before you go in. It's a chain. But the food is actually really good. Unfortunately - the service is not as good as the food. The service (from manager to server to busser) clearly is from a Applebee's or Friday's background. They are loud, without personality, and interested in getting you in and out. I'm sure they barely heard what we were saying. But the thing that stood out to me was how freakin' loud they were. It was as if they thought they needed to drown out everything else and ONLY they could be heard. Ridiculous really. The manager was the worst offender. We were having a conversation at the table and she just started talking 8 feet away from the table. So loud. So rude. Bummer."
Dined on 6/7/2014
Buca is a great place to go when
you have a party of 6 or more, because it has a fun atmosphere and family style dining. The family style dining where you share large plates fits well with groups where you can order multiple dishes and share away! The food is ok - its not the best Italian - but its not bad either. The Spicy Chicken Rigatoni was the best dish we had, but the Fettuccine Alfredo was only so so. Our server was very nice, attentive and helpful. And the various themed rooms and large tables just scream "let's celebrate." The price is ok even though at first it seems the entrees are expensive. But keep in mind most entrees serve 2-4+ so don't order one for each!"
Dined on 6/7/2014
Loved having a room to ourselves,
which was probably a good thing because our group can be kind of loud. But we had a great time, enjoyed all the selections of food and loved the pictures on the wall."
Dined on 6/7/2014
My family and I (a group of 15)
ate here and did have a good time. However when it was time to pay, we all have separate checks, the waitress comes back and says only one coupon per table. If your party is so large that it takes up 3 or more tables and you say we can only use one coupon, does not make sense. You advertise coupons everywhere and we all have them, that's a big reason why we even chose to dine here. It put a damper on the night because everyone was arguing about coupons! A "table" should be ONE table, not three slid together. We will all think twice before bringing our big groups here again. We all have small kids and eating out gets expensive. Maybe next time we should pick a cheaper place instead of Bucca de Beppos. "

We were there with a party of 12

I recently dined here to celebrate
my sister's graduation. We were all very excited, but left less than satisfied. The atmosphere was very energetic and welcoming! All the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our waitress was wonderful. She kept our drinks filled and was easily available. We were a party of 8 among several other parties and she worked very well to keep us happy. The food was the problem. Family style is wonderful, but the prices are too expensive for what you get. Everything was cooked fine, waiting time was ok, but the food was bland. I could get better tasting food at Olive Garden for less. Food tasted like something I could make at home, lacked passion, and didn't taste like anything special. The environment is the draw."

We were celebrating graduation.
The atmosphere was festive, and a bit loud. The food was good but not great. I was not pleased to discover that five of the drinks "included" glasses, inflating the price of the drinks. After some discussion, they agreed to count 2 of the drinks as refills. Still, I was not there to shop for stemware. "

Everything was great until the
hostess sat a family practically on top of us. The mother and father were extremely close (about 12 inches away). That was quite uncomfortable for them and us. The entire restaurant only had a handful of people, why on earth would the hostess sit them that close to us? There were no other people in this specific room besides us. Other than that it was fine."

Our group of 9 really enjoyed the
early dinner before the game. However, there was so much food that we couldn't eat a single bite at the game. We had taken snacks and didn't even open them. We loved the ambience and the pictures. One couple in our group is in the process of opening a very small diner in southern Kentucky and got lots of suggestions from your decor. We loved the anniversary dessert which all 9 of us shared - couldn't eat it all! Finally, my husband who wears hearing aides was disturbed by the background noise. Nothing you can do about that I guess. "

Decided to dine here because we
thought it would be quick & easy & inexpensive. It wasn't so quick& it was loud. The buca salad had just 3 olives. The tri-seafood appetizer ( fried) had mussels that were closed- we told our server & she brought us an entire POT of good ones!! the Chicken saltimbaca was tasty. Marina pasta was fine. Served our purpose but I wouldn't rush back"

Eating here is more of an
experience than just a meal. It is family dining, so the portions are quite large...perfect for sharing. The ambiance is quite friendly, energetic and fun. The food is fantastic. That being said, the hostess station area could have been a tad more like the rest of the restaurant. The staff there were visibly stressed and not very welcoming."

|Manual or Autofocus in crowds?
Fred Jones
Posted: Mar 5, 2012Total Posts: 5
I'm wondering in the case of a crowd in a stadium, I've to you use autofocus or manual? I'll be using Canon 100-400, in 200mm zoom.
I read something like.. manual focus for the sky and autofocus for the crowd. Taking into account my knowledge in spherical panoramas I'm not sure aboute that.
I'll appreciate any kind of suggestions.

hi fred. i need help with case like yours. im trying to make a gigaphoto in soccer game, but the people at the stadium are unfocusing. im using manual focus, with manual mode. my gigapan is epic pro.
see it http://gigapan.com/gigapans/45afc30efcea1d4d43d…

Mgerais and Fred,
There is not a simple answer to the focus question, but the big issue is that most cameras set on autofocus will fail to shoot if they have not achieved focus. Your GigaPan unit does not know this and will just move on to the next point, missing a shot. This is the reasoning behind using manual on the sky and auto on the crowd. However there will still be issues using autofocus with any near objects 'stealing' the focus when they are not of primary interest, such as bushes that are close by or in your case, nearby people who move in and out of position. Personally I would recommend setting manual focus on the stadium shot, but set focus and aperture to have a depth of focus starting out out at least 20 yards/meters away to infinity. The nearby people will be out of focus, but the rest will be fine. For guidance here, search for information about setting your focus to 'hyperfocal distance' on Google. Near objects can only be brought into focus by taking multiple exposures and 'focus stacking' before stitching as is done for indoor, small room or still life, tabletop panos. These are difficult to do and cannot tolerate any motion of the subject.

I'd agree that manual focus might be best (unless the stadium is strangely shaped so the distance to your subject is inconsistent), but if you do go with auto, sometimes in challenging environments it helps to set the the auto-focus point on the camera to just the center square (you know on the DSLR, all those boxes on the screen, choose just set the auto focus to use the center one). This lets the camera just focus on whatever is in the center and not get messed up if there are other things at varying depths. Fails completely some times but in some situations it save the photo.
You also might consider which order of rows and columns you go with for the shot. Like it might work to do "Rows Down" so you can do the sky on manual focus (or auto with the full image for the focal points) and then when you get to the people shift the focal point setting to "center only" as described above and do the people, then maybe switch focal point back to the whole image for the rest of shot. Something like that.

Dorian Johnson, an elite offensive tackle recruit, has committed to the Penn State Nittany Lions, according to SB Nation recruiting analyst Jeff Junstrom. Johnson is a consensus top-10 offensive line recruit nationally and is rated four or five-stars by the major recruiting services. Johnson holds offers from many of the top SEC and ACC teams in the country. He is a product of Belle Vernon (Pa.) High School.
Here's an excerpt from SB Nation's Black Shoe Diaries on the commitment:
Johnson, who lives less than three hours from State College, has been on campus a number of times over the past few years, but his visit this weekend sealed the deal, as he made the trip with family members (READ: mom, grandma), who gave their thumbs up. Johnson was down to Pitt and Penn State (and Ohio State and West Virginia) due to proximity to home, which led many to believe Pitt was in the driver's seat. The Penn State staff tried their best to show Johnson a family atmosphere when he visited this weekend, and it worked.
Johnson has everything needed to eventually become an excellent college offensive tackle. At 6'6 and 280 pounds, he possesses decent size. More importantly, he isn't sloppy and has the frame to add 30 or 40 pounds. And Johnson is quite athletic. He is also quite aggressive, which isn't always a given with players who are much bigger than their competition.
Johnson is Penn State's 12th commitment of the 2012 class and the fourth consensus top-100 player, joining tight end Adam Breneman, quarterback Christian Hackenberg and defensive lineman Greg Webb.

Yacht Club of Monaco – Primo Cup
Stuart Jardine (SWE 5330) triumphs "with insolent ease." Results here.
J/24 (11 registered) – 7 races of which 6 counted
Another class popular with society members of the YCM, the J/24 is one of the Primo Cup's original series. It was the J24 "dream team", notably Stuart Jardine and Marianne Schoke, president of the Swedish class, who triumphed with insolent ease, providing a lesson to the others from Monaco and Italy. With four race victories, the Brit showed once again why he is an expert in this series, one that has been dear to him for several decades now. Of note was the presence of Anne Liardet, here to find out about the waters off Monaco: "Apart from the Tour de France, it is the first time that I have participated in a Mediterranean regatta. I was very surprised, very impressed. And then, what a beautiful fleet of Dragons.

vlado.cuba We stayed in this B&B for 7 days and we were, overall, very satisfied with the accommodation. The B&B is run by two cool, laid back and friendly brothers. B&B has all the necessary facilities, including the shared kitchen that can be used. The location of the B&B is very good, in nice neighbourhood, with metro station near and bus station in front of the door. The bus lines take you to every street and part of the town you can think of. Great value for money. We highly recommend staying in this B&B.
AndyWCole We stayed in this palce in early November 2010. The owner serves croissants, milk, coffee, and juice for breakfast. Housekeeping is very good.The rooms are very nice and clean with free wifi connection. It's in a great location too next to all the important sights. After visiting Florence and Venice, we returned to the place for our last night before flying out. Isa called one of his taxi driver friends and arranged a 6:00AM pickup for our trip to the airport. And got us a reduced fee for the trip. We absolutely loved this place, and it felt like a home away from home with the hosts' warm support and hospitality. Location, quality accommodations, and personalized support are an unbeatable package. All three of us were totally happy with this amazing place. Definitely recommended.

Danny Cruz has been traded to D.C. United after the Houston Dynamo elected not to pick up his option for the 2012 season. In exchange for Cruz, the Dynamo received "partial allocation," which is assumed to mean something less than $75,000.
Although United has just 24 players on their current roster, midfield is one area in which they are reasonably deep. Cruz is one of 11 players listed as a midfielder and with Andy Najar a lock to start on the right, he will be fighting for minutes along with recent draft pick Nick DeLeon and holdovers like Chris Pontius.
"We're pleased to have concluded a deal to acquire Danny from Houston," said D.C. United General Manager Dave Kasper. "He is a tenacious player who brings a lot of energy and bite to the midfield and we are thrilled to have him at United. At 22, he has enormous upside and we look forward to his contributions for years to come."
During his three seasons with the Dynamo, Cruz often showed promise, but rarely did so on a consistent basis. He scored four goals and had five assists over the past two seasons while appearing in 45 games, but starting just 27. Cruz has shown enough potential to earn call-ups to several United States youth national teams, most recently appearing in the 2009 U-20 World Cup.
For more on this trade, be sure to check out D.C. United blog Black and Red United and Dynamo blog Dynamo Theory.

You might not have ever heard of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) but they are actually a volunteer auxiliary arm of the U.S. Air Force.
CAP does everything from looking for downed planes to surveying severe weather damage. In fact, it was the Civil Air Patrol that actually located the single engine plane that crashed northeast of Birmingham on February 15, 2014.
"One of our crews was dispatched to search the area, and was actually the first aircraft to locate the crash site," said Donnie Todd, Director of Operations for the Civil Air Patrol's Alabama Wing.
When tornados ripped through Alabama April 27, 2011 there were CAP planes patrolling the skies.
"The aircraft were actually dispatched to start getting some damage assessment because you could actually see the swath of damage all the way from Tuscaloosa to Shoal Creek there was very little break in that," said Todd.
CAP also worked the 2010 Gulf Oil Spill, spending hundreds of man hours on the coast.
"Assessing the damage, the magnitude of the oil spill, and keeping tabs of where the oil was and where it wasn't. It was the all time largest mission for civil air patrol," said Todd.
The Civil Air Patrol's headquarters is at Alabama's Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery.

The cold temps may have you thinking of lighting up a wood fire in the fireplace or in a fire pit. But do that and you may be cited. It's a no burn day.
With weather like this, who wouldn't want to cozy up in front of a fire, but the no burn day will actually last throughout the weekend.
We ran into a lot of people who thought they were going to enjoy the weekend in front of their fireplace and were pretty disappointed.
"We have been slammed all week, it's been just crazy," says Gary Jordan of Paul Bunyan's Firewood.
At Paul Bunyan's Firewood, business is booming.
"Normally in January it's starting to slow down quite a bit but this January has been unbelievable."
Crowds of customers shopping for firewood are stocking up, anticipating the freezing temperatures this weekend.
But unfortunately Maricopa County has issued a high pollution advisory through the weekend. That means you're not allowed to burn wood in your fireplace or wood stove.
"The freezing cold weather coupled with stagnant air causes high pollution approaching the health standards," says Bob Huhn, Maricopa County Air Quality Department.
Bob Huhn says inspectors will be out in the county. Violators can face penalties ranging from a warning up to a $250 fine.
"We understand how nice and cozy a fire is, but you have to look at the bigger picture, look at the public health what it's doing to neighbors, children with asthma, elderly folks who have lung issues."
Meanwhile back at Paul Bunyan's Firewood, some customers are disappointed. Some admit they may bend the rules and take their chances.
The county does encourage folks to call the air quality department if they notice their neighbors violating the no burn day.
Residential fines can be up to $250, commercial fines are up to $10,000.

Randy Shannon on '08 Georgia Tech loss: "Don't even think about it."
By Jorge Milian
Georgia Tech, which defeated Clemson 30-27 on Thursday night, was the primary topic of discussion with UM coach Randy Shannon following Friday morning's practice.
Here is what Shannon had to say:
On simulating Georgia Tech's speed on offense: "All you can do is run the plays. You are not going to get the full speed as far as the linemen and things like that. You got to try and get the speed, but the speed is something you never can simulate."
On why things didn't go well against Georgia Tech last season: "Don't even think about it. Last year was a different type of team and a different situation. Last year was a young team and a lot of blown assignments in that game and a lot of things that happened, but we didn't react and respond. With this football team it is a lot different and it showed with the way we tackled against Florida State. We still missed some tackles, but we still have a lot of things we have improved on that we can think about and get better."
On ACC being a dogfight: "It always is. I said this a long time ago, that everybody will beat up on each other and that is the hardest thing about the ACC conference–you never know. That is why you have to treat it like it is one of those NFL games that you better come with your best game because, if not, and you are probably going to lose that game."
On if he watched Georgia Tech against Clemson: "No I didn't watch it. We will have a lot of film to watch when it comes in today or tomorrow, so we will be watching the next three or four days. You can't really see anything on TV. When you get the game copy, you can see everything."
On Allen Bailey making transition to tackle: "He has done a good job of getting what we need done on defense. If you watch Allen coming from linebacker to defensive end to defensive tackle, he has adjusted everywhere he has been. The biggest thing Allen has done for us as a football team is that he goes where needed. He is not a selfish type of football player. When he came in he was a linebacker and he noticed we didn't have any defensive ends and he chose that position and then when we had a lot of defensive ends he chose to play tackle. Everything he has done is for the betterment of the team and he is a good football player. He is doing a lot of good things mixing it up, but he still has a ways to go and we are excited about his progress and the way it is going."
On the importance of the defensive tackles against the option: "It comes down to the defensive tackle has to get a lot of pressure and a lot of push up the middle with what we call the hump. If you can get the quarterback to hump backwards it screws up the pitch and fullback relationships. If you [don't] get the quarterback to make the hump, then it is going to be a long night. That is why those guys inside are so valuable."
On defensive tackle Josh Holmes: "Josh Holmes has done a great job of playing. He made a great play in the game against Florida State. He got a lot of push. He isn't a senior yet, but he is one of the veteran guys that the guys look up to because he is smart."
On cornerback Brandon Harris, who led UM with nine tackles against FSU and also made a couple of key pass breakups: "He is a guy that has a lot of confidence in himself. One thing about Brandon is that he will never rely on what he has done in the past. He did some things against Florida State that he knows he needs to get better on. He will fix them and we are excited about them."

GREENSBORO — Nothing on the PGA Tour has come easily for Patrick Reed, so why should his first victory?
Reed won the Wyndham Championship on Sunday but not with a blistering final round, comfortable cushion and an easy stroll up the 18th hole.
Reed had to beat Jordan Spieth in a two-hole, sudden-death playoff at Sedgefield Country Cub. The former Augusta State All-American had to execute what he called the "best shot of my life" after his pushed drive on the second playoff hole and clipped a tree, the ball falling close to the white out-of-bounds stakes.
Reed, in fact, initially was told his drive at gone "OB." For a few scary moments, all seemed lost.
"My heart sank," Reed said. "I about busted out right there. I pulled the hat down. I look up and see Justine walking back and the look on her face …"
Justine is Reed's wife. She's also his caddie, literally beside him every step of the way, for better or worse.
"I was so frustrated and sad," he said.
But Reed then saw tournament officials in the fairway, swinging their arms back and forth – the "safe" signal in baseball. While he did hit a second, provisional drive, his first ball was safely in-bounds, although leaving him in a tough spot in the rough, a few feet from a tree.
"Little bit of dirt, twigs, couple of spiders. Basically anything you'd find in wilderness," Reed said of his uphill lie. "It was like I back playing T-ball. The ball was so far above my feet it almost felt like I was taking a baseball swing. I had a tree overhanging. I couldn't see the flag."
Reed said he took a three-quarter swing with a 7-iron, the ball going dead straight and landing on the top tier of the 10th green, 6 feet from the pin.
"Crazy good," Spieth said. "It was one of the best shots I've ever witnessed."
Moments later, having made the putt, Reed was giving Justine a big hug and a big kiss. "Team Reed," as they call themselves, had won.
Speaking of "crazy good," Spieth made a 30-foot par putt on the 18th hole, the first of the playoff. He did it after hooking his drive into the trees and having to punch out short of a creek and leaving him 150 yards from the green.
Reed missed an 18-footer on the 72nd hole that would have won the tournament. In the playoff, he had a 7-footer for birdie on the first hole after Spieth holed his bomb for a par, but pushed the downhill putt right of the cup.
Reed's birdie at the next hole ended the duel between the 20somethings – Reed 23 and a couple of years out of college, and Spieth barely 20.
Spieth won this year's John Deere Classic in a playoff with a few amazing swings of his own, rifling an escape shot out of trees and holing a bunker shot on the 18th. The former Texas All-American came to Greensboro with more than $2 million in earnings and seeking to be the youngest two-time winner in the modern era of the tour.
"Obviously when you get where it's one-on-one, especially with the momentum I had, you know, I'm dying to win," Spieth said. "Winning is what it's all about. It doesn't matter about the money, it doesn't matter what you've made this year, what you've done."
Spieth, playing in the threesome just ahead of Reed, birdied four of his last seven holes for a 65 and 14-under 266 total. Reed, who shared the 54-hole lead with John Huh, had the lead outright on the back nine before a bogey at the par-3 16th hole dropped him back to 14-under, closing with a 66.
Huh, the 2012 PGA Tour rookie of the year, bogeyed the last two holes, finishing with a 68 to tie Brian Harman for third at 268.
Matt Jones of Australia used a final-round 62 to grab a share of fifth at 269 with Matt Every and former Masters champion Zach Johnson. David Toms also had a 62 Sunday, and 2012 U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson had his best scoring round of the year with a 63 to tie for 11th.
Reed's victory had all the perks – a $954,000 payday, a two-year tour exemption, a spot in the 2014 Masters. It also lifted the Texas native to 22nd on the FedEx Cup points list, assuring he'll be eligible for the first three events in the four-tournament FedEx Cup playoffs.
Reed helped Augusta State win back-to-back national titles in 2010 and 2011, saying he has "always been the underdog." A year ago, he had to play his way into PGA Tour events, making it through Monday qualifiers six times.
Reed kept grinding, recovering from a poor start in the 2012 Qualifying Tournament to earn his tour card for this year. He had four top-10 finishes before Greensboro, and now has a victory.
It's on to the FedEx Cup playoffs.
"My confidence is out the roof," Reed said. "I can't wait."
"Team Reed" is ready for anything.

This decadent Guayaki Yerba Mate Chocolatte blend offers the healthy energy of yerba mate and the bliss of rich chocolate flavor without the calories.
Frequently Asked Question:
The Guayaki Story
Guayaki is working to make organic, fair-trade yerba mate the mainstream energy source of choice, and prove that a company can be profitable while operating sustainably. They are an organization of individuals whose daily work is to bring you the finest yerba mate on the planet. We started in 1996 with a vision of protecting and restoring the South American rainforests and empowering the native forest people, and with your help, we are achieving that goal, sip by sip. Here is the story of our humble beginning.
In 1996, Guayaki was seeded in California's central coast by two university buddies. Alex Pryor from Buenos Aires, and David Karr from Northern California. As good friends and passionate yerba mate drinkers, David and Alex set out to share the yerba mate plant with the world, recognizing that people were in need of a nourishing source of energy and a healthy dose of optimism. As good fortune would have it, co-founders Alex and David were swiftly joined by three other pioneering partners to round out the original founding seed group: don Miguel aka the "The Journeyman", Steven Karr aka "Shape-Shifter" and Christopher Mann aka "The Chairman of the Gourd". These five ambitious friends aka the "semillas" (seeds) channeled their activist mentality into the creation of a new restorative business model, calling consumers to action by voting with their dollars.
The Semillas rooted themselves in fertile grounds of San Luis Obispo, CA, nestled comfortably between scenic Santa Barbara and magical Big Sur. This coastline, riddled with good surf breaks, provided the perfect backdrop for many extended mate gourd sessions while looking for surf. As passionate lifestylers, the Semillas group was intimately committed to a holistic lifestyle and business practice which was philosophically aligned with their love for nature, adventure and spirit.
In a blend of the West coast pioneer spirit and Argentine hospitality, the inspired band of Semillas took to the road to share mate with all those who would listen. Rooted in the central coast, hours from any major city, road warriorship became Guayakí's destiny. Traveling in a mix of VW vans, pickups, and RV's, David, Steven and don Miguel took the wheel in the one hand and the mate gourd in the other, to the four corners of United States. With a strong brew of mate, good tunes, flowers and genuine hospitality, the Semillas encouraged keen samplers to develop a relationship with the yerba mate plant.
Growing up, we always heard "money does not grow on trees." Well, today we are proving that "money does grow on trees" and rainforest-grown yerba mate is the new green currency. It provides the peoples of the rainforest with income as well as the ability to steward their land.
In 2009, Guayakí became the first Fair Trade Certified yerba mate company in the world thru IMO.

Residence Hall lots are normally posted 48 hours in advance, but when there is heavy snowfall or other extreme situations the notification period may be reduced Additionally, Facilities Services posts notices at http://facilities.alaska.edu/uaf/fsweb/snow.cfm on the web. From this site you may view the list of scheduled snow removal activities or subscribe to their Snow Removal Schedule list serve to receive e-mail notices of upcoming snow removal operations.
- Residence Life: The Director of Residence Life is responsible for notifying resident students via postings, residence cable information channels, staff announcements, and other means deemed necessary and appropriate.
- The Facilities Services Operations Superintendent will notify Parking Services of the scheduled time for parking lot snow removal or maintenance operations as soon as possible in advance of the scheduled operations.
- To insure operations crews are not delayed, enforcement staff will check the designated parking lots to see if all vehicles have been removed, normally 30 minutes to an hour before the posted time. If vehicles are present they will be relocated to the Nenana or Taku lot.
- Vehicle drivers/owners who contact UAFPD in search of their "missing" vehicle will be directed to the Nenana or Taku lot and advised to contact Parking Services if they have any questions. Of course, if there is evidence that the vehicle has been stolen UAFPD will process the report according to standard police procedures.
Thanksgiving - Christmas - Spring Break Parking
These breaks are a good opportunity for Facilities Services to clear snow and ice from campus parking lots. The lots will be posted as set out herein, but we realize many students are off-campus at these times. Campus motorists are at risk of having their vehicle relocated at the owner/driver's expense. In addition to making arrangements with other students or co-workers to move the vehicle in the event of snow removal, campus motorists have the option of parking their vehicles in a temporary storage lot. A current decal is required. Contact UAF Parking Services for more information.

This year's Live Design Master Classes have expanded to include three Broadway shows, so that the sound, lighting, and projection classes will have the chance to see a production, enjoy a post-show discussion in the theatre and a design critique about the show at the classes. This year's shows include:
For the Broadway Sound Master Classes, the Public Theatre's revival of Hair, the seminal rock musical from the 1960s, which was revived by the Public Theatre last summer in Central Park and has moved to Broadway's Hirschfeld Theatre, with sound design by Nevin Steinberg and Sten Severson of Acme Sound Partners, who will be joined by legendary sound designer Abe Jacob for a look at the sound design for Hair, then (the 1960s-70s) and now.
For the Broadway Lighting Master Classes, the new Dolly Parton musical, 9 to 5, with lighting by Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, additional lighting for Broadway by Ken Posner, and images by Peter Nigrini—all four designers will engage in a lively discussion of the lighting for 9 to 5 as it evolved from Los Angeles to Broadway.
For the Broadway Projection Master Classes, the musical Rock Of Ages and its video-infused look at 80s rock 'n' roll. Projection designer Zachary Borovay and lighting designer Jason Lyons explore the convergence of lighting and video in this production.
Register for the Master Classes online today and take advantage of $100 off all price points as well as low-cost houing in the NYU dorm.
