LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
At the beginning of last season, South Laurel wasn't really in discussion as to who was going to win the 13th Region.
Names like North Laurel, Middlesboro and Clay County were among those tabbed as preseason favorites. But it doesn't matter where you start, it's where you end, and the Cardinals ended up with the 13th Region title and a trip to the state tournament, where they fell in the opening game to Ashland.
Coach Wynn Harris said the talk of his team "sneaking up" on people last year is being used in preparation for this season, which is scheduled to start tonight at Harlan County.
"That has been the motivation all year," Harris said. "Every conversation that we have had with our team this year is about staying hungry and focused and not letting what people say, positive or negative, about our team affect us. I know they hear that we "snuck up" on people. But we were also in the final game to be able to do that. I want us to play our game. Go out and play hard on every pitch and understand that not one person carried us last year, but a bunch of guys that put differences aside and came together with on goal. And that goal was not necessarily to win the region but to be playing our best baseball at the end of the year."
The Cardinals finished 26-12 last season and lost only four seniors to graduation: Chase McWhorter, Charlie Davis, Stephen Simpson and Drew Irvin. But those four combined for 121 hits and 80 RBI, so they were a big chunk of the South Laurel offense that will need to be replaced.
"We are looking at several guys to fill those spots," Harris said. "Many of them helped out last year in more of a role spot. We are looking for all of those guys to step up. We basically have five guys that are going to fill three spots and all are going to have to contribute on the mound. That makes us very flexible with our lineup and defensive alignments. We are pretty blessed to have an abundance of guys that can play more than one position. We are going to try to utilize that to put the best on the field."
The Cardinals have several key players returning, including Trent Abner, Alex Sears, Daniel Neal, Joe Gaines, Matt Slavey and Zach Allen, to name just a few. Allen is recovering from a concussion sustained during football season that caused him to miss the entire basketball season.
Abner led the team with 57 hits last season, including 19 doubles from the lead off position while batting .432. Neal led the team with nine home runs while driving in 44. Sears was second on the team in RBI with 35. Last season the Cards had a good mix of power and contact hitting. Harris feels that will not change this year.
"I think we will have a mix of both," Harris said. "Obviously we hit several home runs last year (28) but one of the things that really helped us was the guys that were on base in front of those home runs. I think we are going to have an entire lineup that will bring something positive to the table from the offensive side. I just want us to get better about the overall team concept and that they can and will pick each other up."
One spot that Harris feels very confident in is his infield.
"That is absolutely one of our strengths," Harris said. "We have five guys back this year that filled those four spots. I felt like we got pretty good in the infield toward the end of the season last year, I expect us to carry that on into this year, Again, everyone of those guys can play another position and that helps as well."
Pitching will also be a strength for this year's team. Neal was 9-1 last season with a 3.43 ERA. Trey Martin went 4-1 with a 2.64 ERA. Sears, Allen, Austin Vigeant, Braden Miller, Brennan Miller and Matt Slavey all return this season.
"We have several guys that we can throw this year that have given us innings in the past," Harris said. "We expect the same thing out of all of them this year. It's something that we have been talking about from day one and that is throwing strikes. I'm not worried about how hard they throw or even the stuff that they have. I want a lot of strikes. We can't defend walks and hit by pitches. I also feel pretty good about our defense and want us to utilize that as much as we can."
Last year the Cardinals stole 71 bases. Harris said athletically their overall team speed could be really good this year, but it's more important how smart they are on the base paths. "We have to be aggressive because we can run a little but we also have to make good decisions."
The season opens much sooner this year, with South scheduled to be on the road at Harlan County tonight then host Southwestern Saturday. Several of the Cardinals also played on the basketball team, so many will not be in baseball shape by the opener.
"I always say in the beginning of the season that if we are as good as we are going to be that we are not very good," Harris said. "Our goals are to get better every game and play the best baseball we can at the end of the year. I don't know that I like the fact of playing so early with the weather, but I have only myself to blame. I make the schedule. I thought we might sneak some good weather in again like last year."
Harris said his team can't overlook or put anyone on a pedestal as far as the district and region goes.
"That's why we play the game," Harris said. "Every team in the district and region for that matter have guys that can beat you on the mound and at the plate, and if you don't play well they can get you. I do think that both are wide open. I know we won the district and region last year, but that doesn't mean that we have won them this year. If we continue to talk and think about last year, we will struggle this year."
Harris said his goal, and his team's goal, is to get better every game and play the best baseball they can at the end of the year. He feels like if they do that, they will have a successful year.
"Along with that I want us to learn to play together and create a culture where we allow each other to get better and don't get caught up in the hype or negative comments or outside interference that can happen. I really like this team. We have a good culture right now. I think that is one of the big issues that we will face this year, our own culture in the locker room, dugout, and on the field. Right now we haven't lost any, so it will be interesting once the season starts to see how our guys will handle it. I feel pretty good about the fact that we have a lot of our lineup back. But it's easy to get comfortable, and I don't want that to happen. I want us to stay hungry and keep the motivation to get better as the year goes on. If we have already arrived, we are not very good. And so far we have worked really hard, we just need to continue to do so."

Entertainment star Barbra Streisand speaks during a ceremony at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem after she received an honorary doctorate in Jerusalem, Monday, June 17, 2013. Streisand waded into one of Israel's touchiest issues Monday on the first major stop of her tour of the country Jewish religious practices that separate men and women.
Barbra Streisand took a little time out from being honored to speak her mind in Israel today.
In town on Monday to receive an honorary doctorate in philosophy from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the iconic singer voiced her concerns during the ceremony about how women are treated within the country's Orthodox Jewish community.
"It's distressing to read about women in Israel being forced to sit in the back of a bus or...having metal chairs hurled at them when they intend to peacefully and legally pray," Streisand said, per Reuters. "Or women being banned from singing in public ceremonies."
READ: Seth Rogen admits The Guilt Trip with Barbra Streisand was airplane fodder
There have been protests recently regarding a women's rights group's insistence that ladies be allowed to pray next to men at the Western Wall, where traditionally only men have gone to worship and read from the Torah.
"I know that solutions don't come easy," added Streisand, who is also scheduled to perform two concerts in Tel Aviv and sing for Israeli President Shimon Peres' birthday while in the Middle East. "And they don't in the United States, where women are still making 80 cents for every dollar that a man makes."
Well, she does have a PhD in philosophy now. This is Streisand's second honorary doctorate, having received her first--a Doctor of Humane Letters--from Brandeis University in 1995.

re: T. Pigeon
re: Little J
Made the 200 mile trek to Ft.lauderdale to try Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. My opinion?? Overated!
The Pizza didn't have sauce! Stewed tomatoes are not sauce. The dough was a little too doughey. I also ordered extra cheese which I would also not reccommend. As far as atomosphere,,It was packed at 9:30 pm and the place closes at 10pm. We had a small wait for a table that was inches from the table next to us. It was like being in the middle of two conversations. The Pizza was also a little overpriced and there was an obvious "hurry up and eat" atomosphere. Anthony's might be good, but it's not the best!
re: T. Pigeon
Excellent choices...
Tutto??? Where's that?
I'll still stick with my Rustica though! You just can't get pizza like that anywhere else and as a pizza starving NY'r down here for 20 years in the FLA, it's the only one I can eat without the lamentation of it not being the real thing!
I see Mario the Baker is opening over on Biscayne Blvd in the 20's...any reviews on their pies from NMB?
And remember...
Pizza is like sex! A good pizza is great! A bad pizza is still good!!!
keep on posting YOUR TOP PIZZA FLA (3) por favore!
re: netmover
re: netmover
net mover- ha ha! Sometimes Pizza is better! Except frozen pizza! Fresh good pizza is SO good, no one will ever come up with a frozen version real Pizza lovers will like. Thank God for take out!
Where is the best pizza in the Plantation area- have only tried ACF Pizza and Pizzatime.
re: T. Pigeon
Rustica's Canadian Bacon/Chicken/Corn Pizza is the BEST slice they have. Only the Lincoln Road location makes it.
Andiamo is a very close second (Biscayne and 54th?)
Where can I get some good Chicago-style pizza near SoBe or Downtown??? Ever since visiting Chi-town I have been close to being desperate enough to order a frozen one online from Giordano's!!!
re: ellynet
Flying it in is not the worst thing to do :) I used to do that with Geno's when I flew to Chi town frequently for work.
The closest (and even that may be a strech) I think is a place called the Big Tomato on US 1 in Pinecrest (a bit aways from your area I'm sorry to say). The pies are definitely nicely done and they also have very good salads and wraps. Here's a link for you to see:

re: Bob Mervine
Bob, I have a new pizzeria for you to check out: Lazy Moon Pizza! It's on University and Alafaya, right near the main entrance to UCF, tucked in a mall with restaurants of every ethnicity, including at least three other pizza or Italian places. I think it's relatively new. It's a very "collegey" layout, with a long room, art and stickers on the walls, a bar, and an open pizza preparation area behind the counter. All they offer is pizza, salads, and a vast beer selection, but I have to tell you, this pizza impressed the hell out of me.
The slices are HUGE. I was shocked at first to see slices are $3.00, but they're longer than your inner forearm, from the crook of your elbow to the midpoint of your palm, and quite wide. It's that perfect New York style slice: thin and flat, perfectly crispy out of the oven, but with a softness to it. The cheese is nice and melty, and I was happy to see it wasn't overly greasy and drippy, a problem among too many by-the-slice pizzerias. You definitely get what you pay for, if not more.
The toppings are excellent too. You have all your usuals, but really nice gourmet upgrades such as applewood-smoked bacon, goat cheese, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, carmelized onions, different sausage varieties, and more.
Like I said, a plain slice is $3, but they have an excellent deal, the Boxcar Willie Special, which is a slice and a pint glass of Pabst Blue Ribbon for $3.50. Hey, you're gonna want a drink anyway, and that's cheaper than a soda. And to quote Vincent Vega, I'm not talking about no paper cup, I'm talking about a GLASS of BEER! (To me, as much as I loved my Belgian ales and my Guinness, you can't go wrong with PBR, the prince of cheap domestic beers.)
A large (plain cheese) pizza there will set you back $20 (if I recall correctly), but it's 30" in diameter. The lovely waitress told me that one guy came in and ate a whole large pizza by himself in an hour and 20 minutes or so, but they're always looking to break the record. I might be crazy, I told her upon ordering a second slice after devouring my Boxcar Willie Special, but I ain't stupid.
So I recommend it. It's a bit of a trek to head down to the UCF area, but for a huge slice of fresh, crisp, delicious pizza, it's so well worth it. I think Lazy Moon is also open until 2 or 3 AM, so I guess they're targeting the "munchies" crowd too. Can't say I blame them -- I hope they do well, and establish dominance in the strip mall with so many other options, pizza and otherwise.
re: Big Bad Voodoo Lou
Lazy Moon has a great college atmosphere, and a wonderful beer selection but I think the pizza falls a little short. The toppings are good but the cheese is non-existent. Just a little sprinkle on top to where I can about count the individual shreds. In my oppinion it's good they have a gimmick that their pizzas are huge because I think the actual pie falls short. I guess this all just comes down to the old "best pizza" debate and I'm probably alone in my disent because everyone one this side of town seems to love it.
re: frienetic
re: Big Bad Voodoo Lou
re: frienetic
1. Del-dio. Just had it the other day and I agree, the best I've had so far in Orlando
2. Brooklyn pizza. Very good but just a shade under Del-dio
3. Pie in the Sky. Not nearly on par with the others but it was my first pizza experience when I moved here. Back then they had great prices and they still load their pizzas with toppings and cheese. Sure this masks everything else but still yummy.
Hard to say if these are the best but these are my favorites so far. The quest for the best pizza is a never ending one.
re: Bob Mervine
what makes coal fired so good?
re: netmover
Um, that I like it?
For the type of pizza involved -- that round, extremely thin-crust pie that originated in New York in the around 1900 -- the coal oven cooks at a higher temperature than other types of pizza ovens. Hotter is better in this case. The pizza cooks quickly, the crust gets a bit charred, the meat toppings get browned and the vegetables sear and carmelize. Unless you're an oncologist, what's not to like?
re: hatless
you convinced me...thanks! I saw a coal fire joint in NYC, in the Village it had been thee since the early 1900's. And now Anthony's seems to have set the Gold Coast on fire with this new in FLA/old in NYC cooking concept. Charred doe though? The unburnt parts must be soo good you can overlook that major faux paux.
re: hatless
My girlfreind who is from NY loves Alexander's Italian market here in MountDora. She says it is the best pizza in Florida. They also have a good specialty pizza. French onion is my favorite!
Stavaro's(I think that is how they spell it!) is also good but it is a chain that varries from location to location.
I have also found great pizza in Daytona. One joint on A1A at seabreeze blvd that is open all night. Can't remember the name.
I've tried many of the places above and am still searching for my favorite in Miami. I tried Rustica and didn't like it. It had potential, but the cheese taseted like glue. I think they might have undercooked it. I was in Los Angeles last weekend and noticed that they opened Rustica on Sunset. I didn't know it was national. I'm trying Steve's on Biscayne tonight and will report back if it's any good.
re: scscr
Steve's is ok...although their sauce is a little too sweet for me. Which Rustica did you go to? Most are franchised and I fear the quality differs from one locatiion to the next. I like Rustica, because there is nothing comparable to NY Pizza done here. Rustica does not try to be NYP, it is in a category all unto itself. With so many styles there must be one that will tickle your taste buds! Washington Ave and 9th is the original...and after a hard night of sobe partying there is no equal. 4 cheese and Veggie are among the best...
re: netmover
Just had Steve's and it is now at the top of my Miami list. I agree that the sauce is too sweet (I was going to post that before I read your comments) and I prefer fennel seeds in my sausage, but it was pretty good and the best I've tried so far.
I went to the rustica on 9th and Washington during the day and had a combo slice. I liked the way that they cut it into small squares and the crust was buttery and crispy. I prefer New York style, but I appreciated the diferent style. The cheese ruined it as it was gooey and almost made it unedible. I saw another post that you need to ask that it is cooked extra long, so maybe I'll try that another night.
re: scscr
ya that leave it in a little longer @ rustica was my post...it definately makes a big difference.
Try Franks out on Bird Rd. It's been voted best a bunch of times...I'm not convinced. It too is square, although nothing like rustica. Kind of like the old 24 cuts. when I'm that far west on Bird Rd, I usually just go to Arbetters Hot Dog Joint which is also a Miami institution.
re: netmover
Ah, I'm from Kendall, so I grew up going to Arbetters for hot dogs. I moved about two years ago -- please tell me they're still in business! I've never had Frank's Pizza on Bird Road, though. My family was extremely loyal to Anthony's on North Kendall Drive for almost two decades, until they moved or closed (not sure which) in the late '90s.
re: netmover
Isn't it Frankie's Pizza? I don't like Arbetters any more. The quality of the dog is no longer there. <p>
My vote for best pizza is John the Baker in Pembroke Pines. Or Mario the Baker on West Dixie. I also really like the pizza at Domineco's -- a tiny place in Miami Lakes. He makes pizza that reminds me very much of the home-made pizza my grandma used to make. I have tried to make pizza at home and could never duplicate the taste of the one she made. Domineco's comes close.
re: netmover
I second the vote for Giordano's, a Chicago institution. For a good Italian--really Italian--pizza pie, Cafe Milano in downtown Clearwater offers a sizable selection of pizza choices whose origins hail from Milan, Tuscany, etc. www.bestcafemilano.com. John's Chicago pizza on McMullen Booth Road in Clearwater is another good choice for those looking for a down-home neighborhood pizza joint--the kind I grew up in in the Chicago 'burbs.
re: laurie
Them CHI-town pies are good yet seriously lacking here on the eastside of FLA. I only know of one decent one over here: Capone's Flicker Light on A1A in Hollywood Beach. If any one has some good recommendations for CHI-town pie on the eastside of FLA, please bestow them upon us...thanx.
re: Sloppy eater
that's good to know as I find myself at PIA 2x a week. Also over in that shopping area is La Granja and Latin American Grill(originally from Miami Lakes-not to be confused with Latin American Cafeteria) both are excellent choices when in that neck of the woods. I'll have to give JTB's a try! Thanks.
1st and foremost thanks mucho for the John the Baker tip! Good call! I was lucky enough to show up tonight, Tuesday, for their 6.99 large cheese special, which I had them add sausage to(a little skimpy on the topping) but the pie was super! Maybe they skimp on toppings when it's the special? Anyway, those "World Famous Garlic Rolls" live up to their moniker...they are unreal! And a side of meatballs with a nice red sauce. What else is good there? I really liked it, and plan to go back again and again and again...
That area of Pembroke Pines has some great comfort food. La Granja is top notch Peruvian style rotisserie chicken and well worth a visit. Be sure to try the sauces which they have along the front counter in ketchup style squirt bottles and are not to be confused with the bins of onion sauces in the salad bar. And just like John the Baker, it's very easy on the budget!
Good food at a good price never goes out of style!
re: netmover
I heard John the Baker in Pembroke Pines closed, can anyone confirm that?
Also, had some half baked Frankie's Pizza tonight from out on Bird Rd (Miami)and must say it was very good. Not too thick for square slices and although this pizza reminds me a little of my NY elementary school pizza, it's still better than most down here. It's definately original in the MIA that much is for sure.
Alright...I am hearby changing my top three (3), sorry, but change is a chowhound's perogative!
1. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza
2. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza
3. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza
Honorable mention: Pizza Rustica.
The coal fired process along with the amazing tomotoe/sauce and top notch mozzarella make this one of the best pies I have ever eaten. And having lived half my life in NY and spent several weeks in Chitown, that's saying a lot!
Wait patiently FLA, they'll be in a town near you before long. Just three years old and they already have 3 or 4 stores open with 3 or 4 coming soon. I reckon they'll be in the other important FLA cities within the next three years. They are well worth the wait, and should you find yourself in SOFLA, stop by during off hours, I hear the wait can be maddening!
Viva Anthony's Viva Coal Fired Pizza...
Tampa has one of the top 10 in the country - Gourmet Pizza Company on Aremenia Ave. in Hyde Park. They were featured in Southwest in flight magazine, so we tried them out and what a find. Small and quaint a little off the beaten path of the Hyde Park restaurant row, but sooooo good. The steak gorgonzola pizza is mouth watering as are the breadsticks.
re: pizzafan99
I'd give Gourmet Pizza Company just an OK because they at least have some types of pizza other than greasy cheese and red gravy. However, nothing special as far as pizza quality. So far, I like DeLosa's on Henderson in Tampa for Spinach and Feta white pizza, but need to try Cappy's.
1. Satchel's Pizza in Gainesville. (http://www.satchelspizza.com/
)2. Blue Highway Pizzeria in Micanopy. (204 Ne Highway 441, Micanopy, FL 32667)

Blue Highway is definitely the best pizza to be had anywhere north of Orlando!

Satchel's is excellent as well, but not as good as Blue Highway.

Didn't know you were in middle of a bite LOL. TY for pics definitely photos well which is a great start. BTW, I am now going to heat up a couple of Frankies slices in honor of this post (picked up a half-baked pie last night for moments like this). Enjoy the rest of your pie and try not to burn your mouth!
re: eatnbmerry
No worries, down the hatch already! I don't get that whole Frankie's thing. They remind me of the school cafeteria pizza growing up in NY. I guess when compared to the plethora of crap served up at many a pizzaria here in FLA, it's pretty darn good that ole cafeteria pie! Primo is worthy of a try, I look forward to trying it again and it's much more geo-desirable.
I got to try the half-baked pie...it definately has my toes tingling.
And the photo upload option should be used more often, no? It's soo easy! Thanks CH...
re: netmover
U know Net I'm a PS kid myself and I understand your reference
You would think that with all the transplanted New Yorkers we would have better options. From reading this thread I take it that Anthony's does a nice job and somebody in the herald just rated their wings best eats or something which is a major double for me(and you too from what I've read). So I will have to try. BTW, do you rec one location over another?
As to Frankies half-baked, the plus is that you can store in frig and takeout during next 2-3 days and heat up in oven (pizza stone optional) and comes out very "fresh". Good option for those of us who live a ways away and don't want to eat standing up at counter or in their "picnic area" around the side which I've only observed pigeons using during all my visits. Lastly, you also get a couple bucks off to boot which helps pay for that gas to and fro :).
re: netmover
It may have been mentioned before,
But back in the day, Leonardo's in Cow Town (Gainesville for the uninitiated) did a nice pie which if I remember correctly (sorry that was a lot of brain cells ago for me) was more of a deep dish style.
I know they are still around and wonder how hounds rate them today? Or is there another goto option in G'ville?
re: eatnbmerry
Leonardo's near campus still has great pizza by the slice, but the go-to place is Satchel's. It's out of the way up in the northeast side of town, but it is well worth the search for some classic Gainesville funky atmosphere and absolutely awesome pizza and calzones. The salad is to die for, too.
By the way, Gainesville is known as Hogtown, not Cow Town.
Years ago- before Hurricane Andrew, there was a place down in Naranja just east of US1. It was owned by an elderly Italian couple, and only was open for the winter season. It was to-go only, and because neither the old man or his wife spoke *any* English, just placing the order over the phone was quite a task. But when you arrived to pick up the pizza...
The pie would already be in a box waiting for you. The box would be stapled shut, but they would pry open each staple and open it up to show you the pizza- I guess to make sure that it was what you ordered- it actually would be wrong about half the time, but who cared! It was always perfect, no matter what the topping. They wouldn't slice it either- I think just because it looked so good!
I would imagine that this place is no longer there, but who knows? Next time I'm down that way it would sure be worth looking for...

I long time devotee of Frankie's in SW Miami, I must now add Anthony's Coal Fired to the very top tier of Miami-Dade. I tasted their coal fired (850 degree ovens) delight today and came away duly impressed.
I swear the first bite tasted of my childhood in NYC mainly because of the cheese (as good as I've had outside of NY) and cripy crust combo. Unlike what I heard on some posts, the dough wasn't burnt save for the very edges of the crust and I don't mind telling you that I literally nibbled right to that edge, it was that tasty. The sauce was fresh and had a nice consistency (not too thin). All in all one-a great pie.
Would unequivocally rec to any pizza aficionado!
re: eatnbmerry
What hit me upon first bite of an Anthony's Coal Fired Pie was the blast of tomatoes...they put the sauce on top as opposed to the bottom + they use awesome tomato sauce. Tomatoes do not taste like tomatoes down here. There's nothing like a nice garden grown tomato from NJ or NY for that matter. I always used to wonder what all the hoopla about heirloom tomatoes was, now I know! The way they GMO (genetically modify) fruits, veggies and whatever else they can in the name of the almighty dollar is terrifying.
I hear you about the wings, they are different and I dig the Rosemary, but what's the point of the cold or luke warm carmelized onions?
re: netmover
re: netmover
I am also a big fan of Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, but I sincerely doubt they are using fresh tomatoes (from NJ or NY or otherwise) for their tomato sauce. Rather I suspect they're using good quality canned Italian tomatoes (i.e. San Marzano).
Indeed just looked at the website and it says their traditional pie "consists of the finest mozzarella, Italian plum tomatoes, romano cheese, basil and olive oil."
Nothing wrong with that, good canned tomatoes will usually be better - esp. for pizza sauce - than lousy fresh ones.
re: Frodnesor
re: Frodnesor
Frod, that comment was in no way meant to infer they were using NJ or NY tomatoes although I can understand where it may have been miscontrued as such. Obviously, they are using the finest Italian canned tomatoes they can...probably San Marzanos just as you duley noted. The thing they do - do is put the tomatoes on top of the cheese as opposed to underneath it, like most pie houses do. This imparts the tomato BAM so to speak. And yeah the Mozz is good too! It all comes together better than anything I've tried down here thus far.
re: Frodnesor
They do use San Marzano, which I agree with wholeheartedly. You just can't compare the consistency of quality canned tomatoes to fresh tomatoes, not year round and definitely not in Florida. Anthony's does that part very right. The best sauce for pizza is hand-crushed tomatoes, salt, and olive oil. That's it. It should taste like fresh tomatoes.
That said, Rustica makes better pizzas than almost anyplace in SoFla. They're super creative with their toppings, the crust is thin and crispy, and the sauce is perfect. They don't even use a brick oven, but they're still the best. Coal Mine sucks compared to Anthony's, and Anthony's is pretty good, but not the best.
re: johnmlinn
re: freakerdude
re: freakerdude
I whole heartedly agree with Frod's "Don't pre-judge. It's darn good pizza, chain or no chain". However, expansion does always bring into question QC and the jury is still out awaiting the all important test of time.
In their corner, I like the fact that they limit (at least so far)their menu to pizza, wings, two focaccia (basically the pizza dough) sandwiches, one salad, and a NY style cheesecake. So hopefully not a lot to go wrong.

And with that GREAT pie and wings why would you!
The menu does list an "Italian Tuna" and "Coal Oven Roast Beef" (guess you can forget about bloody rare like I like my rb :). But like you probably wouldn't order a pizza at Sonny's(like Net said, the cheesesteaks are WAY TOO GOOD!) I don't think I'll be pinch hitting these for the pie and/or wings any time soon either!
re: johnmlinn
re: eatnbmerry
As opposed to puffy, NY style, yes, it is thin and crispy. Perhaps if you only ever get the slices I could see why you wouldn't find it crispy. But if you order a whole pie, it is usually very firm. With the toppings etc. the finished product is not thin, but the crust most certainly is.
re: johnmlinn
*However, expansion does always bring into question QC and the jury is still out awaiting the all important test of time. *
I've been to both a FTL location (on US1) and newer Aventura location and both were solid.
*[Rustica] As opposed to puffy, NY style, yes, it is thin and crispy. *
I have never experienced a thin and crispy crust at Pizza Rustica. Indeed, I like it despite the puffy doughy crust.

"I've been to both a FTL location (on US1) and newer Aventura location and both were solid."
So far so good!
Like sobe and I agree, their menu is small enough that expansion should not hurt QC. Operative word being should. Having said that, they apparently do have an ambitious expansion plan going forward from what I've heard/read.
Carmine's Gourmet market in Palm Beach Gardens is the best in the area. You can also get the same pizza in his La Trattoria restaurant next door to the gourmet market.
OK I grew up in Kissimmee, Florida and this place introduced me to what NY style Pizza is.. Its called AL's Pizza on BYRAN street off of John Young South Near Osceola High. This guy serves slices out of a small window and usually there is always people waiting for some Crispy Hot Slices
In kissimme Hands down the following Independant pizzaria worth pilgrimage for:
AL's Real NY STYLE PIZZA
Mike'y PIZZARIA
NYPD is Pretty good to.
After Comparasion these pizza to pizzaria's In NY they are not truely NY but I think i like these more then what they serve in NYC.
re: tgreene73
I too like Steve's pizza and have been eating them for many years now (they also have a location in South Dade on US 1 and 170 something).
But after recently trying the Anthony's in Aventura on 179, when on that side of the world in the future I will be skipping Steve's and heading straight there. That's not to say that Steve's has gone down hill, it's just to say that Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza is that darn good.
Hands down, best pizza in Miami, at least if you live in the West (Kendall, Pinecrest area) is Two Brother's Pizza. It's in Kendall, in the old Town and Country Mall. It is a mom and pop's hole in the wall pizzeria (literally, there are about 5 stools inside, and very limited seating outside). Everything is so fresh, so crisp. And you know by the picture of Padre Pio and Sofia Loren hanging on the walls that they don't play with tradition. It's always packed!
Best ever is Umberto's (of Long Island) in Lauderdale-by-the-sea. This is true southern Italian at it's best.
re: ladydoc
I've not tried Umberto's, but have always been oddly tempted by the "of Long Island" in the name. For some reason that seemed to just lend all sorts of credibility. However, Mrs. F tried it and found it thoroughly mediocre. Unless of course it's a different place. The one I'm thinking of is nowhere by the sea, rather on University Drive around Cooper City.
re: Frodnesor
re: Miami Danny
I did East Side pre-makeover when it was Flora's and was underwhelmed, haven't tried since the revamp. I'm all the way on the beach end of the causeway and don't know if they'll deliver over this way or not. Will give it a shot. Always liked the look of that 50's-ish outdoor covered seating area there.
Che Soprano has the added bonus of empanadas, the kids like the humita ones.
Two recommendations:
1. Orlando in the UCF area East - Goodfellas...doesnt get much better, and there is ALWAYS a wait.
2. Jacksonville Beach - D' Fontana on Penman Road. Amazing pizza, and the best Italian in Jax.
re: jtboyd
re: GreenTeaLatte
Anthony's sandwiches are good for lunch, when you don't necessarily want to deal with leftover pizza. I've only had the tuna fish, wchic is dressed in olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper - no mayo, and it is absolutely delicious.
Also, I might add, Anthony's did not start out as a chain. When the original location on S. Federal Highway opened in a little non-descript strip mall in 2002(?), it was the only one, and tiny, with maybe 10 tables. It eventually became so packed, with people waiting for hours, that after a year or so, that they expanded to take the space next door, but it was still small. Then they added another location (Weston), which obviously did well, then Pompano, and then suddenly there was an explosion of several more. I used to eat at the original location on a regular basis, and then Pompano opened closer to my house, so I now go to that one, and can say that there is absolutely no difference in quality or flavor.
Also, Umberto's of Long Island has two locations in east Ft. Lauderdale, one in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, and one in Pompano Beach. I'm not sure about the University Drive one, if they are affiliated, but a couple I know who are from Long Island drive from Lake Worth to eat there. At their recommendation I tried the Grandma's pizza and it was excellent. It does it the same way that Anthony's does, putting the tomatoes on the top, and the crust is crispy-crunchy and not at all doughy, as I usually find "New York Style" pizza to be. I didn't love the atmosphere but I am guessing it is pretty authentic, never having been to Long Island.
All that being said, as a native Chicagoan, I have yet to find anything that rivals a good Chicago pizza in S. Florida <sigh>
re: Mauslein
re: Mauslein
re: Mauslein
I'm an Umberto's convert. Crust is super crisp, yet has this fleshy, buttery quality inside the outer shell. The sauce and cheese seem to float atop the crust as if suspended, so that each element becomes almost layered. At the same time, the layering never feels like it's going to be compromised or slide off. It's almost as if the crust was blind baked first, but I don't believe that's the case. The flavors are all perfect and simple - tart, sweet crushed tomatoes; creamy, ropey cheese; fruity olive oil; earthy dough with a yeasty nose. The pie (grandma's I believe) runs just $14.95 and can feed two hungry dudes. Great stuff.
re: Mauslein
Anyone looking for Chicago style pizza in South Florida I have two recommendations. For thin crust try Pizza Fusion. They are a small chain with locations in Fort Lauderdale and Deerfield Beach. They boast all organic ingredients and though they don't claim to be a Chicago style pizza I find the hearth baked crust, sauce, and toppings to be pretty authentic.
I don't know of any deep dish pizzas, but there is a place to get Chicago style "Stuffed" pizza! Another small local chain called Giovanni's. They have two locations in East Boca and one in Margate/Coral Springs area. It is very authentic, made in the Giordano's style. They make a thin crust, but it is a New York style and not terribly good.
I love Mazzaro's in St. Petes. It's an Italian market, they only make so much of it/day. Fabulous stuff. We bring it home, but it almost never makes it <g>.
re: aynrandgirl
>>Mazzaro's makes pizza? I thought they only did sandwiches...<<
Those too, but their pizza is great. Sandwiches, pasta dishes, coffee bar, wine and cheese room, fresh meat/fish counter, cakes, cookies, gelato, etc, etc.
Check out the pics on this page. You'll get an idea. Personally, I go on sensory overload whenever I go in there!!
I dont know what you all like about Anthony's. I think maybe because you're all so used to NY style pizza. Me, Id rather take a slice of NY style pizza over Anthony's any day. I found Anthony's to be totally soggy( too much tomato). I like Carrini's on Hallandale Beach Blvd. When I was growing up, we got pizza from Mario the Baker in Sunrise. Myself( or my spouse who didnt grow up with NY style Pizza) didnt think Anthony's was all that.
I've had much better coal fired( wood oven baked) pizza in Little Italy( in Windsor, Ontario and Toronto). Even my grilled pizza( cook's illustrated recipe) is better than Anthony's. Do a search on my blog for Coal fired pizza and you can see a picture of the pizza we had. It was totally burnt.
Where is this place Rustica?
re: Calipoutine
Pizza Rustica has a few locations throughout South Beach and has apparently expanded elsewhere.
Best Pizza in Florida? Dominic's Italian Grille in Oldsmar. South end of Boston recipe with dough shipped in from NJ. Hand tossed. He even makes thick crust if you want.
Check it out! http://www.dominicsgrille.com/
In Jacksonville - Riverside area. Vienna Garden (yeah, I know - Vienna Garden?) Was schnitzel (kinda "meh" schnitzel at that) but now is killer pizza.
There are some issues - see post link - but the pizza is just murder. See the link on another thread:
re: a20002009
I gave up trying to get a really good pizza in South Florida until I discovered Anthony's Coal Fired last year. Fresh ingredients and very hot oven makes the pies cook fast and come out well done. I tried both the Fort Lauderdale one and the one on Biscayne and 179th. For me the best pizza I've had and I try as many as I can. Spris on Lincoln Rd on South Beach is number two in my book.
re: a20002009
We gluttened out on a variety of Moon River - Jacksonville pizzas on Saturday. 'Course we were hunger aftera day on the water in the wind and sun and rowing 20K in distance total, but nevertheless the pizzas were excellent. Spinach-garlic-mushroom, the Special, the Meat Lovers, the WowiMaui with banana peppers. And great beer selection too. Sam Adams Ocktober and Tuchers on tap. You can get DogfishHead 60 or Rogue's Dead Guy's Ale in bottles.
Better than anything back in Tallahassee.
re: crewsweeper
Not sure what happened to Pizza Rustica near Brickell (shares space with Chick N Grill), but it seems to be closed.
Not surprised - they jacked the prices way up, and while the pizza was good, it was a lucky day if you found more than five flavors... and it started to become quite rare to find fresh slices after 8 p.m.
Tried a new place recently, Jo-Jo's over on Sheridan St east of 95 near Oakwood Plaza. (Hollywood) Small place with minimal to no seating but serves good ny style slices. They also have Chicago and NY style hot dogs which I haven't tried yet
re: The Chowfather
I have been searching for a pizza like the one I grew up with here in Orlando, was called Johnnies Pizza Palace in south east orlando, Lake Underhill Drive. They closed years ago and if anyone who remembers it ( was famous in its day) I haven't had a slice anywhere close to this pizza. Being from orlando I can't attest for New York's or any other place. Their pizza had a crisp crust almost like a cracker. Puffy crust, and their cheese balls were to die for. If anyone can recommend a place that comes close or better yet the recipe for the crust. I have the owners cook book but not the crust they served there. I would pay good money for that pizza. Thanks for listening.... missing Johnny's :(
re: The Chowfather
Primanti Brothers is the best pie in Florida, and there there only two locations in the state. All the others are located in the town it originated in, Pittsburgh, PA. The location on A1A and Sunrise Blvd is the best and closest to the original one in the Strip District of the Burgh. No frills dining, you gotta be quick there to get you pie, especially after midnight(droves of intoxicated people, myself among them, lol).
if you are among those that have small children, avoid this location and hit the one on Oakland Blvd, it is more of the family style environment, with a waitstaff, booths and friendly demeanor.
if you feel that you can handle the Primanti's sandwich, i totally recommend it. It has been around for a long time and very little has changed with it, a full meal in a sandwich.
oh, and its in fort lauderdale! almost forgot that crucial detail. lol.
p.s. Get the cheese fry's.
re: lessersol
re: swoll50
As a former Ny'er in SoBe for the pas 14 yrs - I got to give the nod to the one and only STEVE'S 124st & Biscayne Blvd. No comparision, hands down best in Miami. As the sign at the pizza shop states - You've seen the rest - Now try the best ! I have tried hard to find a good slice in Sobe, and still can not find one that comes close to Steve's. So I cross the causeway and schlep up Biscayne for best pizza in the whole of Miami.
The best pizza in Florida was from a place called Presto Pizza that used to be in Altamonte Springs where Uptown Altamonte is now, almost exactly where Redbrick Pizza now sits. It was a little no frills place, but Presto had the most authentic NY pizza I've ever had in Florida. When I hear people say that true NY pizza isn't possible in Florida due to the humidity or water, I always think of Presto because they proved it was possible. I have not had another pizza in Florida that compares to Presto since they closed, and I just hope one day the owner of Presto opens up another pizzeria in the area!
Eddie and Sam's Pizza - totally authentic NY City pizza. You can take that to the bank.
203 E Twiggs St
Tampa, FL 33602
(813) 229-8500
re: WStampa
re: WStampa
Agree 100% about Eddie & Sams - best NY style pizza in Tampa, typo or not! My faves in Tampa are:
1. Wood Fired Pizza on E. Bearss - to die for, kick's Anthony's butt IMHO
2. Eddie & Sams downtown - lots of friends from NYC agree
3. Cappys on N.Florida - cool place to take the kids and still a very good pie - 1000x better than having to endure Cici's!
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza - multiple locations around southeast Florida, but the original on Federal Highway in Ft. Lauderdale is still the best.
re: marcbham
re: netmover
re: netmover
I think it really depends on what kind of pizza you're looking for. I prefer NY style pizza because thats what I grew up with. To that end, I like carrini's in hallandale Beach or CJ's in Plantation. But, if you're looking for a brick oven type pizza, you'll like Anthony's. I wasnt impressed by Anthony's. I've had much better brick oven baked pizza.
re: Calipoutine
The reason I love Anthony's is it ISN'T trying to be NY Pizza! Which btw, I grew up on too. Many who try down here FAIL MISERABLY. Is Carrini's in Hallandale better than Angelo's or Capone's Flicker Lite in Hollywood? Those are my two go 2 pizza places when crossing the Dade/Broward frontier on the eastside.
re: netmover
re: netmover
I'm not in the Anthony's hater camp, per se, but I find they tend to cook their pizzas poorly more often than they get them right. It definitely depends on the location, but in my experience you'll get good pies for a month or two after an Anthony's debuts, then their opening crew leaves to do a new store and the quality goes south. I know I'm not the only one that's received pizzas at Anthony's that are burnt - not "well done," as they say - around the lip and edges and severely underdone near the middle. And if you get one with toppings, I find they're caked on to the point that the pizza becomes a soupy mass.
Here's a place I'm going to be writing about in the future: Sicilian Oven in Lighthouse Point. It's run by an ex-Anthony's guy who used to be on their opening team. He uses wood instead of coal, because he believes wood reaches a temperature that more evenly cooks a pizza throughout. Having had only one pizza there - which is not really enough to form a concrete opinion - I can that, so far, he's right: the crust was crisp on the bottom, yeasty, and had just the right amount of plush toothiness to it. The sauce is a damn near perfect puree of whole, peeled tomatoes, seasoned well and spooned into small pools across its surface. Toppings are placed judiciously - I especially liked how the cervellata on the broccoli rabe and sausage pie was ripped into small chunks and cooked on the pizza, permeating the whole thing with savory juice.
Definitely worth a visit for any pizza fan. The place offers a lot of other dishes, from Sicilian rice balls to pasta and chicken dishes and a number of daily specials. Really craving it now...I may go back tonight. :-D
Sicilian Oven
2486 N. Federal Hwy.
Lighthouse Point, 33064
re: johnmlinn
re: RickL
Sorry for the late response, Rick. I actually prefer Sicilian Oven's pizza to just about any I've had in Broward. On another recent revisit I had a stellar fresh mozz and crushed tomato pie, with slick, high-quality cheese dotted with little splashes of simple, tangy-sweet sauce. Great romaine salad, too, with a semi-creamy house dressing and bits of candied walnuts, roasted red peppers, garbanzos, kalamatas, and red onion. Definitely check it out. This place is all the best parts of Anthony's with none of the downsides. And it's really making an argument for wood over coal.
re: Calipoutine
re: netmover
Anthony's Coal Fired is pretty good......especially the Paul and Young Ron special. But when in Palm Beach Gardens, Carmine's Gourmet Market and his La Trattoria resto serve even better pizza.
Tony's Place in Palm Springs North (Miami/Hialeah) has some very tasty NY style pie! Wow, people were raving about it Saturday night at a party and truthfully I was very skeptical. Sunday, I was fortunate to have some take away brought home to me and I must say this is the real deal. Good stuff indeed. 17721 NW 78th Ave Palm Springs North Shopping Center Hialeah, FL 33015 is you want to dial it into your navigater! I have never set foot in it, nor do I have any idea how to get there, but I do know it was very goooooooood!!!

re: danb73
Vic & Angelos who ships their water down from NYC just for their pizza crust. And their pizza crust is not any different than the next guy who serves similar styles.
Lack of quality cheese is a business decision that is made. It's not that it isn't readily available.
So I really don't buy into either of those reasons.
re: freakerdude
Some of the most revered pizzerias in Manhattan and Brooklyn use coal-burning ovens, which only exist nowadays in those places that were grandfathered in when the ant-pollution regs took effect.
I don't know about Florida, but no such ovens exist in Los Angeles -- and it's the prime reason why there is no such thing as "authentic New York style".
re: maxzook
I was born & lived 50+ years in the NYC area. During that time I ate a lot of good pizza & also my share of not so good ones. Of the good ones, only a handful came out of coal-burning ovens. (I also had some bad, i.e. burnt, from these places.) The vast majority of good pizza came from mom & pop places using gas-fired ovens. The vast majority of pizza operations in the NYC area use gas ovens, so I don't think "authentic NYC style" has to come out of a coal burning oven.
I do not necessarily equate Coal Fired Pizza with NY or NY Style Pizza. Is the first Pizza place in NY Coal Fired? Yes, but most memorable pies from NY or NY style come straight out of a gas oven.
I have no idea why it's better in NY, and ALL are not better as duly noted above. The fact remains it is something and it looks like the water theory was also debunked above. When taken into context and looked at from 30,000 feet, I would conclude on average that more pizzerias in NY are better as compared to their FLA counterparts. 70% good in NY vs 50-50 down here is my theory.
I really beleive it has more to do with the pie guy and his ingredients than any of the other more essoteric theories.
At the end of the day if it's hot, greasy, gewey and bursts of NY flavor it's all good!!!

Date: 12/8/2000
Title: Independent Colleges of Indiana and Lilly Endowment honor AU student
Amy Hoffman, a sophomore at Anderson University, was recently honored as an outstanding first-generation student during an event entitled "Realizing the Dream," sponsored by Lilly Endowment, Inc. Hoffman, a psychology major and a native of Lebanon, Ind., was honored with students from 29 independent colleges and universities throughout Indiana. Made possible by a grant to the Independent Colleges of Indiana from the Lilly Endowment, "Realizing the Dream" recognizes the triumphs of first-generation students in their first year of college.
The student honorees are Indiana high school graduates who subsequently demonstrated superior academic performance during their freshman year and exhibited leadership in campus or community activities. A $500 contribution will be made to the general scholarship fund of each of the 30 participating colleges in the name of the students being honored.
The program also celebrates the roles played by teachers and parents in shaping student aspirations for a college education. After being chosen by their college, the students then name the elementary or secondary teacher who most influenced them to attend college. These teachers will each receive a $500 professional development award. Hoffman selected Mr. Michael Schlemmer, a teacher at Western Boone High School in Thorntown, Ind.
The speaker during this year's "Realizing the Dream" banquet was Dr. Philip J. Faccenda, chair of the Indiana Educational Facilities Authority. Dr. Faccenda was a first-generation college student who graduated from the University of Notre Dame. After service with the Air Force during the Korean War, he received his law degree from Loyola University of Chicago.
Since 1989, "Realizing the Dream" has honored high-achieving first-generation students from independent colleges and universities in Indiana as well as the elementary or high school teachers who have inspired them. The program was conceived and developed by three former first-generation college students: William C. Bonifield, William DuBois, Jr. and Louis C. Gatto.
Anderson University is a private, four-year, Christian liberal arts institution of approximately 2,400 undergraduate and graduate students. Established in 1917 by the Church of God, the university offers more than 60 undergraduate majors and graduate programs of study in theology, business and education.

"GMA Network, Inc. (GMA) closed September with a strong win in national television ratings against ABS-CBN and TV5.
"In fact, national viewership from the start of 2011 till the closing of the nine-month period showed a trending that establishes GMA as the top choice among the country's free-to-air channels. Data come from broadcast industry's most widely trusted ratings service provider Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.
"Total day (6am-12mn) household audience share data in September (September 25 to 30 based on overnight readings) show that GMA was the most preferred channel in National Urban Philippines relative to ABS-CBN and TV5, clinching 34.1 share points, 4.1 points ahead of ABS-CBN's 30 points, and almost twice TV5's 17.3.
"National Urban Philippines, covering the sub areas of Urban Luzon (77% of total TV households nationwide), Urban Visayas (13% of the TV household population), and Urban Mindanao (10% of the TV household population), comprises more than nine million households in total. Translated to warm bodies, the entire country has about 45 million viewers assuming each household is comprised of five individuals.
"Using the abovementioned assumption, GMA's margins in the country would translate to almost 800,000 viewers over ABS-CBN and 3.1 million viewers over TV5. The numbers provide GMA advertisers the advantage of hitting a higher number of eyeballs at competitive costs.
"In the widely watched afternoon block (12NN to 6PM), GMA strengthened its double-digit wins over competing channels. For the mentioned period, GMA was 17.5 points higher with 40.9 points compared to ABS-CBN's 23.4; and 25.2 points ahead of TV5's 15.7.
"The numbers translate to GMA having 3.3 million more viewers over ABS-CBN; and 4.7 million more viewers over TV5 on a national level in the mentioned time block.
"Less specials, longest running noontime variety show Eat Bulaga was the only daytime program that made it to the list of top five programs in National Urban Television Audience Measurement (NUTAM).
"As in previous months, GMA's total day leadership covers the viewer-rich areas of Total Urban Luzon and Mega Manila. The latter area comprises 58% of total television households nationwide.
"In Total Urban Luzon, GMA was ahead by double-digits with total audience share points of 37.6 versus ABS-CBN's 25.5 and TV5's 18.4.
"This means that 1.7 million more viewers prefer GMA over ABS-CBN, and almost 2.8 million more viewers watch GMA over TV5 in the said area.
"In Mega Manila, which comprises 17 cities in Metro Manila and six provinces in the suburbs (namely, Cavite, Rizal, Laguna, Bulacan, Pampanga, Batangas), GMA's established presence likewise inked double-digit margins for the said period. GMA had 38 share points as against ABS-CBN's 24.3 and TV5's 19.1.
"In other words, GMA had 1.5 million more viewers over ABS-CBN, and 2 million more viewers over TV5 in Mega Manila.

I just got a slingshot and did an ME session with it. I'm normally completely raw, and I have to admit my ego is pretty happy about the kind of weight I can move with that thing. My question is could I expect about the same difference (80 pounds first try) with something like a single-ply shirt?
To get something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done.
A bench shirt is harder to learn. It can be difficult to touch weights at first. Do you train with other powerlifters that wear gear? That's the way to do it. You can definitely get 100+ out of a 1-ply shirt. I've seen guys that get 300.
Become a fan of Wild Iron on Facebook:
I have gotten about 175 out of my 1 ply rage x. That being said it is fairly loose fitting and it did take quite a few workouts to learn it.
email Rudy at overkill and look into one of his one ply shirts.
Thanks for the replies. I had considered myself raw only (and really only beginner-intermediate at that) but I'm thinking my ego would probably be happier with the heavier weights of equpped benching. BTW, is that single-ply rageX usable in usapl? Only asking because I live in Phoenix and I know they have meets here two or more times a year.
To get something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done.
Slingshot is nice, but you'll get more from a single ply shirt once you learn it.... every manufacturer makes single ply gear that's solid..... Titan and Inzer are the big IPF ones, but if you don't care about IPF approval and just need the best single ply shirt I'd +1 for the Overkill. My wife did well in her 1-ply and nobody can deny the success that Luyando is having in his....
There is a decent crew out in Pheonix with a few good benchers. I know that Sidney Thoms is out there, she's gone 400+ in the masters devision and is great with the shirt.
Meet PR's: 1008-750-750 - 2464
Gym PR's... don't count ... time to do another meet!
If you get a loose suit/shirt it should be easier to learn - but will provide less carryover.
ASC 105 Kg Pro Strongman | My Website | Facebook Fan Page
Weight: 235 lbs | Front Squat: 510 lbs | Overhead: 375 lbs | Deadlift: 700 lbs
Supplements: www.AtLargeNutrition.com
I get 250-300 out of my single ply Titan Super Katana. It's USAPL/IPF legal. Rob Luyando gets about the same from his single ply Overkill. The Overkill should be IPF legal, but Rudy hasn't paid the IPF their ransom for shirt approval. You will have to change your groove/bar path to use a shirt effectively. Training with experienced geared lifters is necessary to learn it. The shirt doesn't "give" you anything. You will definately have to earn it.
Can't wait 'til tomorrow, 'cause I get stronger every day!
and here I was overjoyed about getting ~100lbs out of my F6. I think it may be time to move to a RageX or SK...
Best unequipped meet lifts - 120kg Open class
Sq: 629lbs
Bp: 330lbs

Training since Dec 2008.
If you are already use to an F6, call Ken Anderson and he'll set you up with a SK. It doesn't get any better in single ply.
Can't wait 'til tomorrow, 'cause I get stronger every day!

Carrying with them found memories of their high school days, alumni of J.F. Boddie High recently gathered with community leaders to pay homage to their alma mater. Through months of behind the scenes work by several alumni, former classmates joined city and county leaders late last month for the unveiling of a historic marker in the school's honor.
Alumni procured the marker and gained clearance from the board of education for its placement in an effort to preserve their high school history. Through this effort, however, Boddie's place in Baldwin County history is also preserved for generations to come and all to share.
The school was named for Dr. Julian Franklin Boddie Sr. who distinguished himself in the community by becoming the only African-American medical doctor that served Baldwin County and surrounding communities. The school was led by Joseph Graham, the first African-American principal in Baldwin County.
The monument that now sits at the Orchard Hill Road address designates the current site as the original location of the first high school in Baldwin County that included the 12th grade. Boddie was an extension of Carver High School, which went to the 11th grade, satisfying academic requirements prior to 1957.
As alumni spoke at the recent dedication, it was evident that the principals they learned from teachers and staff at Boddie carried over with them to adulthood, building a foundation for their lives.
The newly established historic marker at the site of J.F. Boddie High is yet another example of the impact of education on Baldwin County, and the marker's placement solidifies Boddie High as a vital role in shaping leaders in the local community. Now future generations can know the impact of Boddie High on the local community and learn about the school history. Its place in local history is secure through the efforts of those who helped to make this recent event possible.

By Bev Davis
Editor's note: This column by the late Bev Davis originally was published OCT. 9, 2002. Davis passed away Aug. 1, 2010, of a sudden illness.
A couple of stories I heard this weekend reminded me again of the importance of attitude.
It seems a fellow named Mike maintained such a positive attitude all the time his friends couldn't believe this friendly, pleasant young man ever had a bad day.
"Oh, I have them, all right, but I decide how the events will go. It doesn't matter what happens to us; it's what we do with what happens to us that makes it a good or bad experience," Mike said.
Anytime anyone asked how Mike was doing, the answer was always the same, "Great. If I were any better, I'd be twins."
"How can you always say that?" a friend asked. "There are some situations that are just so tragic, there's no way to see any good in them."
"You're wrong," Mike said. "Every situation, no matter how serious or hard to understand, carries a lesson about life, and if you look closely enough, you will find that lesson and it will serve you well somewhere down the road. Life is all about choices. We choose how people will affect us, and we choose how circumstances will change us — either for the good or for the worst."
A few years later that same friend met Mike and, when he inquired how he was doing, got the same chirping reply, "Great. If I were any better, I'd be twins."
Noticing some scars on Mike's temple and an obvious change in the shape of his head, the friend tactfully asked what had happened.
"Well, I got shot," Mike said without batting an eyelash.
"That's terrible," the friend said. "Now, you can't tell me there was something positive about that."
"Oh, yes, there was," Mike quickly replied. " When I got into the operating room, it looked like a morgue. I saw the faces of the nurses and doctors, and they looked like they didn't have a prayer for me. They asked me if I were allergic to anything. I could barely speak, but I rasped, 'Yes, I'm allergic to bullets.' Well, you should have seen the change. They came to life and started working on me like they expected me to live."
Orville Kelly was told two years ago he had terminal cancer. He and his wife went home to cry and prepare for his death. Should they keep it a secret? They prayed. The answer was that they should play about it, so they decided to give a big party. They invited all their friends. During the festivities, Orville held up his hand to make an announcement: "You may have wondered why I called you all together. This is a cancer party. I have been told I have terminal cancer. Then my wife and I realized we are all terminal. We are all going to die sometime. We decided to start a new organization called M.T.C. Make Today Count. You are the charter members."
Since that time, the organization has grown across the country. Orville has been too busy to die, pointing out the way we are to approach death — singing, loving, taking joy in the moment and investing each day in every part of our lives and into the lives of others.

The Norman Transcript
OKLAHOMA CITY — Nick Hardaway had a tough decision to make. Westmoore's anchor on the offensive line had several scholarship offers, but none had him really excited.
Hardaway always had the dream of playing FBS (Division I) football, and none of his offers reflected that dream.
So the 6-foot-4, 315-pound offensive guard decided to take a chance and accept a spot as a preferred walk-on at Oklahoma.
"Since I was little, probably like every little kid, I had the D-I dream," Hardaway said. "I had a good opportunity too. It was my chance to go play Division I football and I took it … I had some great offers from some great places such as UCO and East Central. The money was there. But when it came down to it, I had to chase that dream."
There is no guarantee Hardaway will ever see the field or receive a scholarship, but he felt accepting the challenge was the right move for him.
"With their whole O-line situation, it's not the best it can be," Hardaway said. "Being a preferred walk-on, it's a better time than ever for me to go in and make a name for myself. They told me it's going to be a long road ahead. It's going to be tough. I know that. But when it comes down to it, it's my shot."
Hardaway's choice was part of a big day for Westmoore football, as many Jaguars took part in national signing day.
That included Addison Staggs, who signed with Central Oklahoma. Staggs was a playmaking safety for the Jags and hopes to be the same for the Bronchos.
Staggs' sister, Jade, went through the same process. She signed with the Oklahoma State golf team three years ago and is now on the other side of Bedlam at OU.
"It's a big moment in my life," Addison Staggs said. "Seeing my sister sign three years ago, I was always wanting to work to that point. And it's finally here. It's a great feeling. UCO was close to home for me. I am a big family man. I wanted to stay close to home. I think I can do a lot of good at the UCO program."
Moore had one football player sign on the dotted line Wednesday. Ethan Birdwell will be attending Bethel College in Newton, Kan.
Southmoore held its signing day festivities Wednesday afternoon. Most of its athletes had already made it known where they were headed. That included Jackson Stallings, who signed with Yale, and the state's top recruit D.J. Ward, who's already enrolled at Oklahoma.
Ward was unable to play his entire senior season after transferring from Lawton. Still enters OU as the top-ranked prep prospect in the state.
"I am glad it's done," Ward said. "I am back to low status and just ready to play football again."
Nick Ward was the last of the SaberCats to make his decision and he chose Wofford University in South Carolina over Air Force.
"I made my final decision yesterday actually, the day before signing day," Ward said. "I was talking to both coaches and decided Wofford would be the place for me … I felt like I fit in better there."
Ward was also being recruited heavily to play baseball. One of the reasons he chose Wofford is the opportunity to play both.
"That was very important," Ward said. "I really like playing both sports. And I feel like I can excel at both. This is the biggest day of my life. Basically picking my future. It's a great day for me."

Computational Finance
Using MathWorks tools, you respond to changing demands and operational constraints by developing and adapting models that manage energy assets and build commodity trading strategies. Without leaving MATLAB, you can:
You can model, price, and optimize portfolios of storage contracts and physical assets using prebuilt optimization algorithms in MATLAB that include a variety of solvers—constrained or unconstrained linear, nonlinear, and binary integer—and global methods, such as genetic algorithms and simulated annealing. You can connect to proprietary or third-party commercial optimization routines through the MATLAB application programming interface.
Gas Natural Fenosa Predicts Energy Supply and Demand (User Story)
Energy contracts involve managing variable amounts of gas or electricity. Constraints on how much of a commodity can be traded make customized contracts such as swing options difficult to value, risk manage, and hedge. You can use the Monte Carlo capabilities and binomial and trinomial tree methods in MATLAB to price contracts, incorporate constraints into risk calculations, and calculate metrics, such as earnings at risk.
"The European Commission recently reset carbon dioxide emission limits. Because our MATLAB model was designed to be flexible and scalable, it was very easy for us to incorporate the new constraints in a week or two, we would have had to wait months for a vendor to build those constraints into a commercial product."Read the story

Server Glitch Causes FCAT Delays Statewide
April 22, 2014 | WMFE, Orlando - Hundreds of students were affected Tuesday morning after a technical error kept them from logging on to take the exam.
Orange County Public School officials said students weren't able to log onto the Pearson system to start the FCAT. Pearson, the company that administers the test, is based in New Jersey. Only some servers were affected, which is why the outages only affected certain counties and test subjects.
Students in Orange County taking the sixth, seventh and ninth grade reading and 10th grade reading make up exams were affected. In Seminole County, 7th and 10th grade reading and 6th grade math exams were delayed.
Polk County also reported issues for sixth, seventh and eighth grade exams.
The Florida Department of Education is expected to brief the affected counties on the next steps Tuesday afternoon.

In 2011 there were 67 fatal crashes on Oakland County roads — up from 59 fatal crashes the year before.
But despite the slight increase, the county's roads are still among the least fatal in the world, said the leader of the Traffic Improvement Association of Michigan.
Jim Santilli, executive director of the Auburn Hills-based TIA, along with representatives of local law enforcement agencies and Oakland County government, released the traffic fatality statistics during a press conference this week.
The leaders also talked about ways to continue to prevent those deaths from happening.
"We still have more work to do," Santilli said. "We're trying to move towards zero deaths."
Distracted drivers
The fatality rate for Oakland County was 0.54 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles of travel, compared to the State of Michigan at a rate of 0.94 deaths.
Other southeast Michigan traffic fatality rates are:
- Macomb County: 0.76
- Wayne County: 0.83
- Washtenaw County: 0.95
- Livingston County: 0.81
Traffic fatalities, Santilli said, disproportionately affect younger drivers.
"In the United States, traffic crashes are the leading causes of death for teens and young adults ages 15 to 20," Santilli said. "That's unacceptable and that's why in traffic safety, we don't call them accidents.
"We call them traffic crashes because they are preventable."
Among the most concerning of all traffic crash fatalities are those that happen in clear weather conditions — likely from texting while driving, said Santilli.
"Studies show that when a driver is looking down to send a text or e-mail message they're concentrating on something for 4.6 of every 6 seconds," he said.
"To put that into perspective, that's the equivalent of driving the length of a football field at 55 miles per hour while blindfolded."
Romeo High School student and Rochester Hills resident Ally Zimmerman was 16 last year when she died after being struck by a distracted driver, according to police. On Wednesday, Ally's mom, Laurel Zimmerman of Oakland Township, talked about Ally and her loss.
"Not a second goes by that you don't want time to just go back. When you lose a child, it goes against everything that you believed in," she said. "It happens every day, it happens to so many."
Zimmerman is working with TIA and Oakland County on a project called "Remembering Ally: Distracted Driving Awareness Campaign."
The campaign is talking to young drivers across the state, educating them on the dangers of distracted driving. They have released a video here.
More officers needed
Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson and Undersherriff Mike McCabe of the Oakland County Sheriff's Office also addressed the media. They called for more attentive driving, less use of cell phones and more law enforcement officers on the road.
Santilli agreed that a decrease in law enforcement can also be blamed for rising traffic fatalities.
"Obviously we're in challenging economic times and our political leaders have to make difficult decisions," Santilli said.
"One of the things we're asking today is when public officials are considering cuts, please for the safety of the public look at law enforcement as a last choice."
In an interview after the press conference, Santilli added that he is reaching out to local governments across the metro-Detroit area to encourage them not to cut law enforcement.
McCabe said that between 2001 and today, the state of Michigan has 3,500 fewer police officers.
"High visibility, high enforcement — that does prevent traffic accidents," he said. "The cutbacks that have occurred in law enforcement in Michigan have been pretty devastating."

My fellowship experience:
Living and working in a developing country exposed me to the intracies of international non-profit work. I feel much more confident in my ability to perform in a new and unfamiliar environment. I am comfortable living with less because I now know that the things that I value the most are also the things that are not ascribed any monetary value. The students, host families, and community members that I interacted with during my two month fellowship, demonstrated a passion for music, soccer, faith, family, and community togetherness. My fellowship experience provided an ideal example of my ability to perform and excel in an international environment.

I'm sorry. I may have jumped the gun on this matter.
In any case, it is great to know that somebody -- whether Clarity or Madisound remains to be seen -- has come through.
David, and Adam worked together to make this happen. The caps are being sent to Madisound then to me, Adam sent me the tracking # for the caps that are being sent to him.
So Clarity, and Madisound took care of the issue, and both are great to deal with.
No Way But The Hard Way, So Get Used To It!!!
Good deal, Larry. Glad to hear of a good outcome with this.
In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.
The best way to enjoy digital music reproduction is to never listen to good analogue reproduction.
Glad to hear it!
Received parts from Madisound and they are not individually packed but the box was pretty tightly stuffed with newspaper so nothing moved.
There are 3 or 4 plastic bags inside.
However, my parts are pretty cheap stuff but for expensive caps, may be they should individually wrap.

Good to hear on this story Larry. Look forward to the build.
Can't wait to see my sexy Clarity eye candy!
New caps are on the way to me now, with a prepaid shipping label to send the others back..
No Way But The Hard Way, So Get Used To It!!!
New caps are in the house, and of course the packing was top notch!!!
No Way But The Hard Way, So Get Used To It!!!
Glad you are set now Larry.

Matthew Rader has taken his small-town Tahlequah upbringing and coupled it with an exceptional college education to make a splash in the Big Apple.
Rader now works in New York City as director of Men's Shaving Systems Marketing for Schick Razors, a division of Energizer Holdings Inc.
"I truly enjoy the general manager nature of running a section of the company, and most specifically, developing the strategies to drive the business based on discovering new and different motivational and emotional insights about the male consumer target," Rader said.
This past year, he traveled on business to South Africa, which offered a tremendous opportunity to see a different part of the world, he said.
Prior to landing a marketing career, he spent four years as a legislative aide on the staff of then-Rep. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., in Washington.
Rader has a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University, and Master of Business Administration from Zarb School of Business at Hofstra University.
"I was an economics major in undergraduate school," he said. "I ended up in this major based on an interest in going into politics, and having a degree I felt had direct application to that interest. Going back for business school was a direction I chose after careful counsel with Coburn, and I felt having an advanced business degree would give me the right tools for pursuing my next step in life. It led me to brand marketing."
Once or twice a year, Rader makes it back to Oklahoma. What he misses most about Tahlequah is the community feel and the ability to see friendly faces all the time.
"I love being connected to the towns I live in, and I miss that about Tahlequah," Rader said.
Tahlequah is an exceptional place to grow up, Rader said, because it has such an amazing community connection.
"There is such pride in Tahlequah, and wanting to support what is going on in the community. Additionally, given its size and the fact that it has a university, there is the ability to have a wealth of experiences right at your doorstep," he said.
What he enjoyed the most about growing up in Tahlequah was its Rockwellian feel.
"As I look back on my youth, I appreciate the comfort and safety I felt being able to be out and about just being a kid in a small town, enjoying running around with my friends, seeing parades, and seeing friendly faces at every turn," he said.
He admitted boiling down his memories to one or two favorites is tough.
"My life as a kid in Tahlequah would be a great answer, but if we are being specific, first, being part of the 1989 Tahlequah High School Tigers state runner-up football team. The memory of that entire season and seeing how the town was so behind us really made that memorable and special," he said.
He also has fond memories of canoeing on the Illinois River.
"I loved to do that, and have many great memories of doing that on weekends," he said.
His mom, Deborah, a middle school teacher, first met his father, the late Dr. Brian Rader, a political science teacher at Northeastern State University from 1972-1995, when she was a student.
His siblings are Col. Ace Shrum, U.S. Air Force Academy, Bolivia, U.S. military attaché to the U.S. Embassy in Bolivia; Shane Rader, tennis instructor, Charleston, S.C.; and Melody Reed, a stay-at-home mom who lives in Little Rock, Ark.
Rader said a number of people have influenced him.
"Wow, so many people made an impact on me and shaped who I am today," he said. "First, my family. [I appreciate] my dad, mom, brothers and sister for all the love, support, guidance and positive reinforcement they gave me. Coach Charlie Cooper, Connie and Marcus Hendricks were like second parents to me. [There were] teacher Jan Sheets, teacher Marjorie Malone, coach J.R. Winton, coach Ken Hayes, Wes and Brooks Connor, and many others too numerous to count and name."
The positive benefits he got from growing up here vary from his family to work ethic.
"I firmly believe my balanced approach to life, my family first focus and blue collar-like work ethic are derived from my youth growing up in Tahlequah," Rader said. "All my impressionable years taught me family was at the heart of a solid personal foundation, and that through hard work, dedication and passion for what you are involved in, success can be the result."
He still maintains contact with his best friend, Chad Hendricks, who lives in Skiatook. He also stays in touch with Jeremy and Vida Berry, Bo Connor, Andrew Walker, and David McQuitty.
