Occupation: New athletic director and assistant principal at Heritage High School and HHS head baseball coach
Age: 34
Maritial status: Single
Family: Two children, Portlyn, age 3; and Easton, age 2
Robbie Bennett will understand if his daughter, Portlyn, and son, Easton, make a mistake in any sport they choose to play. His own first practice as a child, in a prelude to a sport he would come to love, didn't go well.
"I grew up in Maryville and went to Alcoa High School, grades kindergarten through 12," says the new athletic director, assistant principal and continuing head baseball coach at Heritage High School. "I loved baseball from the time I can remember. I loved watching it on TV, was a big Braves fan. My older brother, Richie, and I would get out in the yard and play."
When he signed up for his first "organized play," however, he was a little nervous. "My papaw, Edward Whitmore, took me to my first T-ball practice. I was a pretty good player, knew a little about the game, but I was so nervous that, when I hit the ball, I ran the bases the wrong way!"
Working with youth in sports came early for Bennett. "I started working with kids at the Boys and Girls Club of Blount County when I was 16. I was the athletic director, overseeing all the programs -- from basketball to flag football, every sport we played."
He stayed at the Boys and Girls Club from age 16 to age 22, when he was hired at Heritage as an assistant baseball coach under Danny Wilson.
Bennett saw some great players come through the Boys and Girls Club. "Cait McMahan, Lee Humphrey, Carl Stewart -- played at the Boys and Girls Club," Bennett said. "It was a great experience for me."
Bennett became head baseball coach at Heritage High in 2002, and resigned at the end of last season. This year, he is back as head coach, and has been appointed new athletic director and assistant principal at the school.
"Yes, I did resign from baseball last year. I love sports, love kids, love teaching and coaching. I've always wanted to be an administrator, and I just felt that I needed a change. I worked hard for the program, and it was hard to say I was walking away, but I needed something to re-energize me and motivate me. When the A.D. job came open and some people talked to me about applying, I knew it was what I needed to give me that push, to re-energize me. Now I can be an administrator and keep coaching baseball. It was the change I was looking for, and I got to keep doing what I loved."
Bennett says there is something he loves more than baseball.
"The biggest thing is that I love kids. Sports plays a big part in many kids lives. That needs to be a positive experience. It was certainly a positive part of my life."
His mantra, he said, is "work ethic."
"I believe if you work hard and give 110 percent, if you have goals and you work hard toward them, good things will happen. There will be challenges and failures, but if you keep working, good things will come."

Todd made me realize I wanted to be someone who kids could look up to. The second is Steve Bledsoe, who was my high school baseball coach and mentor. He was hard on me, but he made me realize that's what coaches do when they care. The third is Tommy Hatcher, who has been a close friend and mentor in my life for a long time. I can't say enough about how much these three men have meant to me!"
Do you Myspace, Facebook or Twitter?
What's the worst job you have ever had?

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
To start off I would like to explain what this album is about. There is a book in the Bible called Revelation that is about the end of the world. This album from beginning to end is pretty much that book of the Bible. It even has characters and is very story like. Some people think that having two interludes in one album with only 10 tracks is too much, but if you think about the placement of them and what is going on lyrically then you wouldn't want it any other way. It is hands down the most amazing album I have ever heard in my life. It has very good technicaly guitar parts that are very chaotic but seem to fit perfectly with the lyrics. That in combination with some of the best drumming on the planet makes this album instrumentally breathtaking. The vocals offer extremely good range from singing to screaming to low death metal growls. The album is very well thought out and fun to listen to. I have listened to it literally over hundred times in the last couple months and I have not yet gotten board with it and still find new interesting things that I didn't notice before almost every time I hear it. I recommend this album to everyone no matter what you listen to.
I didn't like this album at first and I absolutely hated Not One Word. When I listened to the album the first time, it just gave me a headache and I dismissed it as just harsh noise. But I did feel like the album was better than I thought. Mostly because I really enjoyed the intro and the way it blended so well with the first track. So I thought there was more to this album than I thought.
After a couple more listens I really grew into the music. Especially after listening to A Piece of History a few times. This is an excellent album. It's very artistic and the lyrics are fantastic. In fact, I really enjoyed listening to the music while reading the lyrics.
Give it a couple of listens. If you can't stand it after that, I wouldn't bother trying to get into it. But if you do get into, you'll see how creative and damn good the album is.
Okay, enough with my 1337 speak, now let's get to the CD. This CD is amazing technical deathcore music. It tends to steer away from the more generic side of modern metalcore and blends in elements of early metalcore (think Converge or 7 Angels 7 Plagues), along with technical death metal and grindcore as well.
This is a great debut full-length for an up-and-coming band. For fans of bands like The Red Chord, Between The Buried and Me, Through The Eyes of the Dead, Animosity, Psyopus, Premonitions of War, and many more. Recommended.
alot of kids who were really into not one word (including me) didn't really give this album the chance it deserves. it's a really really good album every song is good except for the piano track ghosts over japan. these guys are incredibly talented and this album deffinetly shows that off. the guitar work has improved immensly, the drumming is still amazingly good, and the new singer is wwwwwaaaayyyy more diverse. his lows are way better and his singing voice is pretty good and his overall scream is good. if you're not into it at first just give it a good uninterupted listen and then judge it. if you're into ed gein, the red chord, ion dissonance, into the moat, the chariot then i recomend this album.

U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston officially entered the race for U.S. Senate on Thursday, with an announcement in his Savannah district.
Kingston, one of Georgia's longest-serving Republicans in Congress, said in a campaign blog that he had the credentials to move the conservative agenda in Washington.
The Athens native, who works in insurance, is the third Republican congressman to enter the 2014 race to replace U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who has announced his retirement. The other candidates include Athens Rep. Paul Broun and Marietta Rep. Phil Gingrey.
"We need a Senate that is responsive to the American people. We need a Senate that acts to make government more effective and accountable," Kingston said in a Facebook post Thursday.

The Placer County District Attorney's Office has decided not to pursue a second trial against a Sacramento County Sheriff's sergeant who had been prosecuted on misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence for a 2007 incident in Roseville.
The sergeant, Christopher Dayton Guerrero, 42, stood trial last month but a Placer County Superior Court jury deadlocked on counts of DUI and of DUI with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher, causing Judge Joseph O'Flaherty to declare a mistrial.
The incident involved Guerrero being stopped by a Rosevillepolice officer on suspicion of DUI during the early morning hours of Oct. 4, 2007.
According to the officer, Guerrero, who was off duty, failed field sobriety tests and blew a blood alcohol level of 0.16 percent on a preliminary alcohol screening device. The officer used his discretion and allowed Guerrero a ride home without arresting or citing him.
After a local television station reported the incident on the news several days later, raising the possibility of a double standard for law enforcement officers, Rosevillepolice investigated and submitted its results to the District Attorney's Office, which filed the DUI charges.
The trial jury was split at 8-4 in favor of a not guilty verdict on the DUI charge, and it was deadlocked at 7-5 favoring a not guilty verdict on the count of DUI with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher.
"Based on the jury's split and on the comments made to us by jurors after the trial, it appears unlikely that the outcome would be any different with another jury in a second trial," Deputy District Attorney Kyle Jibson, who prosecuted the case, said.
Supervising Deputy District Attorney Ted Peterson said his office felt it had the evidence for a conviction.
"But we were unable to sway 12 people," Peterson said. "Some of the jurors felt that the officers who were in on the traffic stop should have written their reports immediately after the incident, instead of having to rely on their memories several days later."
Peterson said some jurors also felt that the defendant should have been given an intoxilyzer test, which are normally conducted at the jail after an arrest and are considered the official reading of a blood alcohol level.
"The jurors felt that this might have validated the results of the preliminary alcohol screening device in the field," he said.
The traffic stop was captured on video by a camera mounted in the officer's patrol car. Guerrero can be heard apologizing repeatedly for causing the officer to stop him, and he can be heard asking the officer to give him "a break."
Peterson said his office felt the apologies and requests made by Guerrero were persuasive evidence of his guilt.
"But it appears that did not have a significant impact on the jurors," he said.

Dolphins announce NFL Draft watch parties
By Brian Biggane
You know the NFL Draft is getting closer when the Dolphins start announcing the sites of their watch parties.
Duffy's in North Palm Beach and Sun Life Stadium will be the official gathering places on Thursday, April 22, when the first round of the draft will be held beginning at 7:30 p.m.
But if you're going, you'd better be patient. While the doors open for both parties at 6 p.m., it'll likely be after 10 before Miami makes its selection at No. 12.
This is the first time the draft will be held over three days, and while that's likely to build some suspense at various points of the proceedings, it's also likely to result in some bleary-eyed fans. The Day 2 picks start at 6 p.m., meaning it figures to be after midnight by the time the Dolphins announce their third-round choice.
For the Day 1 event at Duffy's, the Dolphins promise cheerleader performances, games and contests and a so-called "garage sale" of coaches', staff and players' official apparel. The Sun Life Stadium event will have player, alumni and cheerleader autographs and open concession stands.
Of course, the actual draft itself will be staged in New York, and the Dolphins' braintrust will be holed up in the Davie offices. The only real question remaining is which network will the various TV sets be tuned into: NFL Network or ESPN.

Symantec Overhauls System Backup Suite
Backup Exec System Recovery 7.0 is designed to add support for virtual servers, enhance Microsoft Exchange capabilities, expand data-recovery options and centralize management.
According to Symantec, there's plenty of reason to make system backup a broader and easier to use to process. Michael Parker, global product marketing manager for Backup Exec, said that 85 percent of systems are not backed up. And even companies that do attempt to back up their systems can be in for a rude awakening as 17 percent to 40 percent of tape restores fail, he said.
The goal of the new Backup Exec System Recovery 7.0, he said, is to allow both small businesses and larger enterprises to recover complete Windows systems in minutes on a variety of dissimilar hardware systems and devices. The upgrade is also designed to enhance Microsoft Exchange backup and add backup capabilities for virtual servers.
Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery works by copying your entire system (i.e, operating system, applications, system settings, user settings and data). It then creates a single recovery point. Should your system fail, you select the recovery point to restore from and Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery restores the complete system in minutes, according to Parker.
That recovery point can be created on a variety of media and formats CD/DVD, flash memory, USB and Firewire devices, iSCSI/Serial ATA drives or SAN/NAS devices.
In addition to protecting entire servers, Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 7.0 is designed to speed the recovery of individual e-mails, files and folders. For example, a new Exchange Retrieve option is built to let you recover not only the entire Exchange server but also individual messages, attachments, folders and mailboxes.
You can, according to Symantec, schedule full or incremental recovery points to be created every 15 minutes, recover critical Exchange data in seconds and forward recovered e-mail or .pst file to individual users.
Designed to provide a self-service component to Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 7.0, Symantec has added what it calls a "Google-like" search feature called Backup Exec Retrieve. The goal is to make it easy for users to recover their own files and folders without IT intervention.
In keeping with the Google theme, a search and retrieve capability is now integrated with Google Desktop. Users can also protect select files and folders in addition to implementing a volume-based recovery point process.
What would a new release be these days if it didn't factor in the emergence of virtualization technologies? Version 7.0 lets you convert physical recovery points to virtual formats (known as P2V) as well as convert virtual systems back to physical environments (known as V2P) for VMware ESX Server, VMware Server, VMware Workstation and Microsoft Virtual Server.
In Backup Exec System Recovery 7.0, Symantec takes a single-pane-of-glass approach to management, Parker said. That is, the new version is designed to offer a centralized view of system backup and recovery activity across multiple systems.
This at-a-glance approach is designed to let administrators create backups, view real-time status, run reports, resolve identified problems and add new systems quickly.
Pricing for products in the new line is as follows, according to Symantec:
- Backup Exec System Recovery Server Edition $1,095 (per server)
- Backup Exec System Recovery Small Business Server Edition (includes Exchange Retrieve Option) $695 (per Server
- Backup Exec System Recovery Desktop Edition $69 (per workstation)
- Backup Exec System Recovery Manager $1,495
- Backup Exec System Recovery Starter Kit $5,995 (includes five Server Edition licenses, one Manager and one Exchange Retrieve Option)
- Backup Exec for Windows Servers System Recovery Option $695 (per server. This new option offers just the core business-critical system recovery capabilities offered in the stand-alone editions of Backup Exec System Recovery, including dissimilar hardware recovery and P2V conversion, among other features, where data protection is already ensured with Backup Exec.)

Lanes remain closed after water-main break, sinkhole in Simi Valley
Lanes of a major intersection in Simi Valley remain closed this morning after a water-main break that occurred Tuesday night, officials said.
The water-main break also caused a small sinkhole in the area.
Repairs are underway this morning, but police believe the diversion will still affect traffic.
Chip Townsend of the Simi Valley Department of Public Works said the water main was repaired this morning but then broke again.
"We just finished the repair and the pipeline came apart again on us. We're actually kind of in a jam at this moment. We have to redig it up," Townsend said.
He expected the repairs to take eight or nine hours and affect rush hour traffic.
Simi Valley police had asked drivers to avoid the areas where Los Angeles Avenue intersects with Erringer Road as well as westbound Los Angeles Avenue and First Street as a power outage knocked out traffic lights there. Power was restored by 11:30 p.m.
Police were urging motorists to avoid the area of Madera Road and Los Angeles Avenue on Tuesday night after a break flooded the road.
Police said officers closed the intersection to traffic Tuesday night.
"Madera Road will remain partially open for north and south traffic but drivers should expect delays," police said in a statement. They added that no traffic was permitted west on Tierra Rejada road toward Moorpark.
Motorists headed for Moorpark were urged to take an alternative route, such as Highway 118.
Drivers also could take First Street and then Royal Avenue to Thousand Oaks, police said.

Webteam- I was going to post this in the off-duty
section, but felt this needed to be sharded "full
tilt" with the brothers and sisters. Thanks, Bou
After hearing that the state of Florida changed
its opinion and let a Muslim woman have her
picture on her driver's license with her face
covered an American citizen wrote this editorial
that was published in a Tampa newspaper. He did
quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!
>IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT. I am
tired of this nation worrying about whether
we are offending some individual or their culture.
Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have
experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority
of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks
had barely settled when the "politically correct"
crowd began complaining about the possibility
that our patriotism was offending others.
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a
grudge against anyone who is seeking a better
life by coming to America. Our population is
almost entirely made up of descendants of
immigrants. However, there are a few things
that those who have recently come to our country,
and apparently some born here, need to understand.
This idea of America being a multicultural
community has served only to dilute our sovereignty
and our national identity. As Americans, we have our
own culture, our own society, our own language and
our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed
over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories
by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic,
Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language.
Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society,
learn the language!
"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not
some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We
adopted this motto because Christian men and women,
on Christian principles, founded this nation, and
this is clearly documented. It is certainly
appropriate to display it on the walls of our
schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you
consider another part of the world as your new
home, because God is part of our culture.
If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like
Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move
to another part of this planet. We are happy with our
culture and have no desire to change, and we really
don't care how you did things where you came from.
This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle.
Our First Amendment gives every! citizen the right
to express his opinion and we will allow you every
opportunity to do so. But once you are done
complaining, whining, and griping about our flag,
our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life,
I highly encourage you take advantage of one other
great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
If you agree -- pass this along

I am just as partriotic to my own country..... the uniform I wear each day to work pretty much settles that question.
However, to answer one point on CALFFBOU's post regarding the obstruction of a face on a provincial (read STATE) drivers' licence.
With the exception of clear lenses on prescription glasses (and beards or mustaches), there will not be any obstruction to the face that could construe or alter the appearance of the person depicted by the photo. This in effect means that the woman with her Bacca or whatever its called across her face would be in violation of that law.
Of course I have no information on Florida state licencing laws, but I feel pretty confident that it would not matter what a persons religious believes are, your face will not be covered to such an extent as to hide your identity, that is what the purpose of the picture originally serves.
How many future cons and ex-cons do you thing could now take this little piece of info to the DMV and "hide" their faces to such an extent that they could not readily be identified?
Cop on side of road with a "speeder".... "I am sorry sir, but this photo ID simply can not be you. You are not wearing your belaclava."
Speeder: "Hold on.. how does this look now Officer?" (Placing belaclava over head)
Cop: "Oh thank you... for a second I thought that you were someone else."

I fully agree, as a naturalized American citizen, I expect to be able to take part in the all benifits afforded to me by the laws of this great country. I also expect to have to abide by all the rules, and not just pick and choose what suits me. I get sick and tired of people coming here for a better life and then moaning and groaning that every thing is wrong. Once you take the oath of allegiance and become a citizen, you are an AMERICAN, not an African American, an Irish or English American, But a full fledged American. I for one am extremely proud of my US passport and though I am proud of my English roots and culture, I AM AN AMERICAN.

I'm STILL waiting for the Baldwins to hold up their end of the bargain- if Bush won, they were leaving the country.
::taps foot::
Still waiting.......
Certainly it makes sense that this woman should have been required to show her face for her license. A picture of somebody with a veil on is utterly useless.
There is no law making English our official language. It's an oversight, I suppose, but the fact remains that there is no legal basis for excluding other languages from road signs, etc. It has just been the de facto language because of its widespread use around the nation and the world. Sure, it would help things if we'd enacted it as an official language, but it's probably too late now.
And what if it was? What if nobody ever "schlepped" anything around? What if you just ordered your apple pie with ice cream, instead of "a la mode"? Or if it was just the "soup of the day"? Anybody find "Oktoberfest" more colorful than "The Big October Party"? Would those expressions have ever developed if they were forced out of the lexicon by an Official Language?
What if there were no Guinness?
Right now their are more Latinos in American than African-Americans. They may outnumber Caucasians one day. What do you do then?
September 11 was a horrible event. But the fact that it was perpetrated by people from other countries is immaterial; the 168 lost at OK City were no less dead just because an American killed them. Their nationality tells us only where to look for them, and their religion only clues us in to their motives & MO.
A terrorist is a terrorist, whether the skin is white, brown, or in between, and regardless of whether the act is "justified" by the Koran, the Bible, the Torah, tea leaves, or a Ouija board.
And an immigrant is an immigrant, whether or not the native tongue happens to be the dominant one. You come here, you obey the laws (the driver's license thing again), you respect other people, you work to be productive, then you belong. You steal, you kill, you cause problems, then you should be thrown back.
There are a lot of immigrants I'd prefer to live beside in lieu of many of the knuckleheaded Americans I know. Who cares if the woman covers her face? Who cares if I can overhear them speaking Arabic on their front porch? If he's a pediatrician and she's a trauma surgeon, I'm tickled to have them. Matter of fact, if he's the manager at the Piggly Wiggly grocery and she stays home with the kids, I'm tickled to have them.
This is a nation of immigrants. Anybody who thinks immigrants should unilaterally conform to the default language, culture, and religion has obviously forgotten who was here before Columbus."Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.

"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not
some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We
adopted this motto because Christian men and women,
on Christian principles, founded this nation, and
this is clearly documented. It is certainly
appropriate to display it on the walls of our
schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you
consider another part of the world as your new
home, because God is part of our culture.
So why don't we just re right the constatution then since by this guys assessment, choice of religion does not include anything other christian principles.
Again I disagree, RELIGIOUSE FREEDOM, does this not ring an Fing bell any more. It means you have the choice to practice your religion, and I have the choice to not have your religion stuffed down my neck.
Some real good points were made here, both pro and con......however "I Am An American!" And in being one.....I am for conformity, no-where in Europe, Asia, or the Mid-East are you allowed such rights and priveledges, as found in America. So why then, come here, and bring your garbage with you? I once purpertrated a discussion here about "our Lady Liberty" in the Harbor......100 years ago, we had land, empty land, and our Lady beckoned to help fill it with those misfortunates of the World. Today the land is filled, and we no longer receive misfortunate immirgrants, but instead, boat-loads of sick / criminal / political escapees of the World. Were my Grandparents born here....nope, however I no longer contain benevolence for what is now coming.
Our Mottos-Creeds-Heros-Independance was hard earned and is fiercely protected (to a fault) but to bow to a / any Special Interest Group is not the way to go. Lifestyles-Religion-Politics-Dress Code is respected, so why not our Flag-Pledge-rules and Laws? When your here a while and pay your dues, I'll listen a little more attentively to "your" problems. Like the man said, if you don't like it here.....take a hike!

Don't start this crap here. America (and the fire service) is made up of MANY different beliefs. And, they are all just as American as you arrogant Christians. Our national motto is "E Pluribus Unum". This means "from one, many". Only during the "red scare" of the 1950's did all that "god" stuff get started by hysterical right-wing Christian zealots. Thousands of people were tormented for "possibly" being Communists and hundreds went to jail for their beliefs. Quit trying to tie patriotism to that silly fantasy you call "god"...because you're ****ing off a lot of Americans who are every bit as patriotic as you...and probably more so, because we are willing to accept different peoples, whereas religion is good for nothing but to separate and destroy. If you want to rely on some barbaric wargodinthesky as a crutch for your feeble mind, be my guest. But this country belongs to ALL of us...and I'm afraid you're the one who's going to have to like it....OR LEAVE IT...because the LAW is on our side.
You kind of mixed a few replies in your post...nozzelman. Be a little specific...I was the one who said like or take a hike, however I'm not in favor of any specific religious policies.....therefor I'm confused.
You also made mention to the "Laws" of this country......Are they the same that allow Pedifiles, Rapists, Murderers, etc to plea bargin? Sure the Laws of the US are better then most places, however we should learn a bit from progress, and up-date the laws built around a country formed 200+ years ago!
Those laws also include immirgration, correct(?).......like the American Boy Wonder caught by the CIA in Afgh.....or the numerous Sheiks causing undo havoc, because we have and they don't.....yet even the ACLU makes sure these MUTTS have rights too! No-one is under pressure in this country, so if choas is your plan.....move on out!"All gave some......Some gave all!"

Your post made absolutely no sense at all. I was simply addressing the religious banter that started this post. It's the same old "this is a Christian nation you're lucky we allow you to be here if your different if you don't like it leave" crap that's been circulating around the internet for years, and even more so since September 11, 2001. Keep your religion out of government, just like the constitution says to do...and take your "god" off our currency, out of our pledge, and put "him" into the mythology/fairy-tale books where "he" belongs. Our laws should be secular and treat everyone the same, irregardless of their belief or non-belief. Like somebody else said on this thread, quit ramming your beliefs down other's necks (throats?). What arrogance to think you're better than people who think differently than you do.

Arrogant? Isn't that "the pot calling the kettle black"? Who are you to decide God is a "fantasy" and should be relegated to "mythology and fairy tale books." Being an American you have a right to your beliefs and the right to express them. Keep in mind though that many in this country, this world and in the Fire Department hold religious beliefs. Just because you don't believe doesn't give you the right to pass judgement on those who do. Say what you will, but noones really values the opinion of a hypocrite. God Bless America and those who defend her.

Well well well, I see the old religion topic has come up. Well my 2 cents are if ya dont are here ya may as well follow all rules and laws that OUR yes OUR ( since we do elect by a non bias vote that all citizens 18 and older can vote... and if ya dont vote then shut the hell up and quit your whinning !! ) I personally think that religion is up to ya. Yeah I am Christian and I believe in God. I dont hold it against anyone that doesnt, but dont go and try and change me b/c of the ways you believe ! I think all ppl should respect religion. Now as for the driver's license, that is a joke!! She should not have been allowed to wear her rag over her face (sorry for slang terms dont mean to offend anyone i dunno what its called thou ) I also think that all people that are US citizens should learn English however this will not happen its jsut not i dont care how much praying to GOD,Jesus, Mother Mary, Allah or Satin or whatever GOD ( yeah there is that word again)you want. This country is to diverse for that to happen. We as FIRE and EMS have to suck it up and carry little pocket quick cards with us. Now as for the calling ourselves American.... i firmly believe that there is no African-American, No Hispanic american, and no other kinda American. WE ARE ALL AMERICAN. Just PLAIN AMERICAN !! Yeah you might have deceased or other relatives from Africa but u come to America u are jsut plain old American no different from George Bush, John Wayne, Martin Luther King, George Patton, Rosa Parks or anyone else that is American. And ya see even thou you are American doesnt mean you are any more or or less of a terrorist...Ya see all the time about Israel and their own ppl blowing up each other on buses. Be glad we are not that way over here. I surely thank the good Lord every night that we dont have those problems. As Americans we shouldnt be fighting over this crap we are discussing here in this very forum and instead we should be tryign to make this country great and safe for ALL AMERICANS, black, white, yellow, brown, pink or any other color. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM.
I am not going to get into a religious or language debate here. It isn't worth it.
I will however give my opinion on the driver's license thing. TOTAL BULL You might as well NOT EVEN HAVE A PICTURE if the person in the picture is totally covered. What's the point? You can't see the persons face which makes using for ID completely useless. If you want to live here, it isn't going to be just like your homeland. We habe drivers licences and that includes a picture. If you don't like that, then no one is forcing you to get a drivers license. Many people do without one and so can you.Even the burger-flippers at McDonald's probably have some McWackers.

Who is trying to change you because you are a Christian?
Freedom of religion means all religions, regardless of who founded this country. Lest we forget why they left England to begin with.
That said, I have no problem with "In God We Trust" or "One nation under God". After all, no one is forcing anyone to recite these phrases. If you don't believe in them, don't say them.
I have no issue with people from other countries coming here as long as they do so LEGALLY.
Why do so many on the right feel threatened by immigrants? Many of them are now proud Americans.
About the woman who kept her scarf on for her DL picture, of course it should have been removed. Let's not forget, it was an American who screwed up and allowed her to keep it on. The blame lies with the individuals at the DMV"We shouldn't be opening firehouses in Baghdad and closing them in New York City."

Umm...let's see. Who's really arrogant? Seems like I remember the religious fellow posting his diatribe here, first. I was merely making a stand against this silliness, just like I do in real life, nearly every single day. Sure, I don't "have to say the pledge"...but I am SICK of one religion (Christianity) ramming their beliefs down people's throats, simply because they have the populist vote and think that gives them the right to pass laws that fly in the face of the Constitution, which is the law of this land. Don't post simple minded dribble here like that and not expect me to respond. Don't waste your time debating religion with me...you'll lose every time. It's all unfounded and unprovable, nonsense. 46Truck, your "god" is no different from the thousands of other "gods" relegated to the history books as myths. When you understand why you reject all other "gods" and religions, then you'll understand why I reject yours. I apologize about the "E pluribis unum" bit...got in a hurry. But the fact remains the same; we are a diverse country, and everybody deserves a secular, non-biased government that is capable and willing to serve its peoples equally. Religion, especially the Christian religion, is not in the least concerned with that. Christians are right and everybody else is going to "hell" to suffer for eternity, simply for a difference in opinion. And history has shown that Christians haven't hesitated to help the poor sinners along, whether burning them at the stake for being "demented" or drowning them for being "witches". Before you stand up for your "almighty", I suggest you do a little "research" and read your "good" book. You don't have to go far to realize what a nasty, barbaric, murderous "god" you profess to follow.

So leave that part out of the pledge then! Sheesh!
I am a christian. So what. I DO NOT RAM MY BELEIFS DOWN OTHERS THROATS! I would appreciate you removing your blanket indictment of christians in this regard. I admit freely that some christians do try to ram it down our throats, they come to my door as often as twice a year( I promptly throw them off my property!)! I feel that religion is not meant to be involved with the government. IE: The church as an organization cannot be a part of the government. If you look at England at the time, the Anglican church was the ONLY church recognized and allowed by the British goverment. THIS is the type of thing the founding father were talking about! Not the current interpretation of that part of the Constitution.I.A.C.O.J. Charter Member

"Not for fame or reward,Not for place or rank. Not lured by ambition or goaded by necessity. But in simple obedience to duty as they understood it. These men suffered,sacrificed,dared all, and died. Let us never forget our fallen friends."

fog vs smoothbore
color of truck
career vs volly
etc."This thread is being closed as it is off-topic and not related to the fire industry." - Isn't that what the Off Duty forum was for?

Yoenis Cespedes was an Internet thing not that long ago. He was the keyboard cat of international free agents. Every team across the land wanted Yoenis, most of them even before they considered the goldmine of limerick possibilities. Now that the furor has died down a bit, what sort of interest is he going to draw?
He's a center fielder, and supposedly a good one according to Tigers vice president and director of amateur scouting David Chadd:
"Combination of power and speed," Chadd said Sunday, repeating the standard scouting report on Cespedes, who is viewed as having a glove, arm, and likely batting average that would also be elite. "A five-tool player."
The Tigers are one of the teams in on him, as are the Marlins. And Cubs. And Nationals. Possibly the Orioles. The Rays have called. The Phillies are worried that the won't have a center fielder locked down for 2015, so they're probably interested. Everybody loves Yoenis. He's not going to come on a two-year, $8 million deal so everyone can get used to each other.
The previous contract given to a hype-worthy player from Cuba was Aroldis Chapman, who signed a $30.25 million, six-year deal. Cespedes is hoping to blow past that, possibly into the $60 million range. That's a lot for a player who hasn't hit against major-league pitching, even if he did hit .333/.424/.667 with 33 homers in 90 games in the Cuban National League last year. Those are gaudy numbers, but it's worth noting that the league had a guy who hit .453/.597/.986, so it's possible that the stats are just a wee bit difficult to evaluate.
But say Cespedes gets an 8-year, $60-million deal. Evan Longoria is locked up for the next five seasons for a combined $40 million, and that's widely considered to be the most team-friendly contract in baseball. Now imagine if he came to the Rays and asked to extend it by three years and $6.6 million per year. Andrew Friedman would break a thumb while frantically looking for a pen. If Cespedes turns out to be a star, his contract will be one of the best in the game.
Now imagine if instead of signing a three-year, $20 million contract, Kaz Matsui signed for eight years. Everyone loved Matsui's tools, and his stats were superlative for a middle infielder, even after accounting for the small Japanese ballparks and the quality of competition. But eight years would have been up after last season. That would have been a long, long time and a ton of money to commit to what turned out to be a pleasantly harmless backup utility infielder. I daresay he would not have been popular in New York right about now.
So he's either going to be as good as Evan Longoria or as disappointing as Kaz Matsui. You read it here first.
There are enough teams in on Cespedes, though, that he could win the Jayson Werth WTF Contract of the Year. Because if a team really wants him in the worst way, they'll have to buy him away from the Marlins. The Marlins play in Miami, a place where Cespedes becomes just about the most marketable player on the team. It's going to be really hard for another team to overcome that -- the Marlins can instantly think about the money they'll make back from Cespedes in the first year, whereas other teams will have to be far more cautious.
The Marlins are acting like a dot-com company in 1998, waving money at every prospective employee that ambles down the road. They're looking to sign a programmer or seven for six figures and stock options. And you're telling me that they aren't going to be in on the Cuban superstar who happens to play a position where they could use some help? It's not like he's a shortstop who'd force a grumpy Hanley Ramirez to third base. It's the perfect fit.
The only obstacle I see for the Marlins is that the Washington Nationals are interested in Cespedes, and they were the team that awarded the Jayson Werth WTF Contract of 2010/2011. They're a little unpredictable -- the guy in the back of the auction with a nervous tic and an eyepatch. They're also pretty well set up at a few several positions, except for … wait for it … center field. Their options other than Cespedes are Coco Crisp, more Rick Ankiel, maybe Cody Ross, or putting a call in to Marquis Grissom to see what he's up to. There aren't a lot of free-agent options, and the Nationals seem eager to prove they're willing to spend.
If Cespedes gets $60 million, that's not star money for an unproven player; it's starter money for an unproven player. And with the Marlins looking to open up the teal wallet to make a statement, I don't see how they don't sign him. Even if the Yankees didn't have a center fielder -- like, were literally thinking of starting the season with seven position players -- the Marlins would still outbid them. I think they've even agreed to pay a posting fee just to make sure there aren't any complications.
Prediction: Marlins for seven years, $73 million, announced on La Decisión on C-SPAN3, right after a committee meeting on the fiscal health of the FHA.

Just about everyone wants to overturn Citizens United. But it's not so simple
The Move to Amend proposal is the broadest and cleanest. It states: "The rights protected by the Constitution of the United States are the rights of natural persons only. Artificial entities, such as corporations, limited liability companies, and other entities, established by the laws of any State, the United States, or any foreign state shall have no rights under this Constitution and are subject to regulation by the People, through Federal, State, or local law."
It goes on to say: "Federal, State and local government shall regulate, limit, or prohibit contributions and expenditures, including a candidate's own contributions and expenditures, for the purpose of influencing in any way the election of any candidate for public office or any ballot measure."
It also includes this statement: "Nothing contained in this amendment shall be construed to abridge the freedom of the press."
Free Speech for the People is simpler. It only addresses the corporate speech issue: "People, person, or persons as used in this Constitution does not include corporations, limited liability companies or other corporate entities established by the laws of any state, the United States, or any foreign state, and such corporate entities are subject to such regulations as the people, through their elected state and federal representatives, deem reasonable and are otherwise consistent with the powers of Congress and the States under this Constitution."
Cobb notes that the Move to Amend measure doesn't say how political speech should be regulated; it just opens the door to that kind of lawmaking. "The question of how to protect the integrity of the electoral process is a political question, not a Constitutional question," he said. In the end, there's a huge issue here. The framers of the Constitution, their political consciousness forged in a battle against big and repressive government, feared as much as anything the notion of rulers controlling the rights of the people to speak, write, assemble, publish (oh, and carry firearms) freely. Corporate interests (with the possible exception of the British East India Company, which monopolized the tea trade) weren't a major concern.
And First Amendment purists still recoil at the idea that government, at any level, could make decisions limiting or regulating political speech. I sympathize. It's scary. But in 2012, it's easy to argue that the power of big money and big business has far eclipsed the power of government, that for all practical purposes, the rich and their corporate creations are the government of the United States — and that the people, assembled and exercising the power envisioned under the Constitution, need to make rules to, yes, level the playing field. Not rashly, not in crazy ways, with full cognizance of the risks — but also with the recognition that the current situation is fundamentally unacceptable, and that the potential dangers of messing with the First Amendment have to be balanced with the very real dangers of doing nothing.
Perhaps it's because I deem the 1st amendment as trumping just about all other considerations.
But mostly because corporations need to have a political voice too. They don't get to vote and yet are affected by politics. The CU decision levels the playing field between those who can vote and those who can inlfuence in other ways.
Moreover, it doesn't just benefit corporations but also unions, which are some of the biggest funders of lobby and campaigning.
The CU decision ensures that voters can't just vote to rob blind corporations and the wealthy of their means in a form of legal mugging. It ensures balance, equity and fairness.
CU isn't going away but, more importantly, it shouldn't go away.
Nearly 80% opposed civil rights and wanted to keep segregation back in 1965..
SCOTUS is often ahead of the curve.
incorporated, cities, unions, colleges, newspapers, non-profits, bands, private clubs... pretty much any entity that involves money changing hands in any way shape or form is a corporate entity. I look forward to our progressives defining good and bad corporate entities. Removing 1st amendment protections from all these entities would be a disaster, while the progressives would just laughably cherry pick to their own advantage and be obvious in their idiotic scheming.
The progressives are convinced that if they were the only voice to be heard the stupid peasants would suddenly fall for the version of crazy they represent. That is of course not true, and plainly stupid on their part.
Most people don't like money in politics, because they think the lack of money would have America's "sheeple" voting their way. Just ask a right winger who thinks that the liberal media is keeping the truth of creationism and abortion from the masses..
The progressives are selling something that no one wants all that much in the USA, they think that if they could just change the rules, (RCV, state funded elections, for example) the idiot voters would wise up and go along.
how many folks noticed that when they look at the ballot they discover they never heard of most of the candidates? Why?
the corporate news/propaganda media has a golden rule; Buy Advertising and get a story.
The corporations only give money to candidates that will represent their interest and those candidates are the only ones who can buy advertising.
To a lesser extent the public employee unions also do this.
Proposal, ban all paid political advertising on the public airways and give every candidate, who manages to get on the ballot for an office, FREE EQUAL TIME to inform the electorate about why the electorate should vote for them..

PRICES: Check here for our Rates and Reservations
PACKAGES: Try any one of our yoga retreats. We have Yoga & Adventure, Yoga & Rejuvenation, or Yoga & Surfing. We also have a Pure Yoga option as well. Check out our Anamaya Retreat Packages (ARP).
Lisa is excited to be immersed in the natural beauty and energy of Costa Rica, and her intention for her week at Anamaya is to instill a sense of groundedness, flow, and internal awareness so that each student can take that sense into other aspects of their lives.
Guest Yoga Teacher Lisa Kitteringham
Lisa is inspired by Mihily Csikszentmihalyi's concept of flow, "in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity." Flow requires a combination of clear goals and progress, immediate feedback, and a balance between the level of challenge and the practitioner's current skills.
In her yoga classes, she builds a sense of flow through sequences that build on the student's current level of experience, through providing variations for all levels with clear instructions and demonstrations and through tailoring the structure, level and complexity of sequencing based on the class and individual. Detailed alignment cues allow each student to feel the subtleties of the pose within their own body: instead of expecting every student to look the same in each pose, her cues allow the students to find their own version of each pose. Frequent vocal and hands-on adjustments provide instant feedback and guidance to deepen each individual practice.
Lisa loves to teach creative, challenging sequences so students increase their kinesthetic awareness, a concept that Shiva Rea describes as 'bodily intelligence,' or an awareness of the self through the physical body. Bodily intelligence and awareness allow the student to explore their own body in a safe and sustainable way and to understand their own limits and potential. Lisa's sequencing focuses on transitions in order to teach core compression and awareness throughout movement so that balance and core engagement become instinctual instead of conscious. Her movement progressions are designed so that students can find the focus to breathe fully and deeply even in potentially demanding situations, a skill that can then be applied to real-life circumstances. The challenge is always balanced with frequent chances to rest, ground the body and come back to the breath.
Lisa teaches Vinyasa Flow classes that are based on continual movement coordinated with breath as well as Hatha classes that focus on longer holds and more detailed anatomical alignment. Her stretch classes centre on specific sequences of stretches that allow each student to move progressively deeper into the body and increase their flexibility and range of movement, and her restorative classes allow students to explore stillness in both the body and the mind by using the breath as the gateway to a meditative state.

Zionsville Community High School students and parents are coming together to raise funds for a local boy who is battling cancer.
Volunteers are hosting a Parents Night Out Fundraising event Friday, Feb. 1, for Logan McGovern, a ZCHS freshman who has Rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancer that affects muscles that are attached to bones.
The event is from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. for children ages kindergarten through fourth-grade in the Zionsville Middle School gymnasium and Eagle Hall, 900 Ford Road. The cost is $30 per person.
The evening will include a book walk, DJ, crafts, snacks and activities. All proceeds will go to the Logan McGovern Relief Fund.
Register by signing up at www.zionsvilleeaglerec.com/programs/fundraiser-for-logan-mcgovern.cfm. Email Wood at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
McGovern, a freshman at ZCHS, was diagnosed with the cancer in November 2011 and is now at Riley Children's Hospital.
Wood, a Zionsville resident and family friend to the McGoverns, said the cancer spread throughout his body.
Wood said Logan has many friends — including Wood's oldest son, Adam, who played on the Zionsville Middle School Team with Logan last year.
"I just want to try to get the boys together so they can do their part and help a fellow classmate and teammate," Wood said. "Everyone just wants to help."

|6' 0"/ 200 lbs.
|Elizabeth, NJ
|South Florida
|Years played
|2010, 3rd round, 1st pick by Rams
Redskins sign WR Furrey; release four
The Redskins made a series of roster moves Wednesday, most notably signing WR Mike Furrey.
Redskins face major changes on special teams
Nearly as drastic as the changes on offense and defense this offseason has been the difference in special-teams personnel.
Report: Redskins' Moss linked to HGH doctor
Redskins WR Santana Moss has been named as one of several professional athletes with ties to Canadian doctor Anthony Galea, who has been charged with smuggling and distributing human growth hormone, according to various published reports.
Redskins sign DL Holliday
The Redskins announced Monday that they have signed free-agent DL Vonnie Holliday, who played in all 16 games with the Broncos last season.
Orakpo likely to increase sack total
According to "Whispers," OLB Brian Orakpo's role in Redskins coordinator Jim Haslett's new defense could enable him to significantly improve on his 11-sack rookie season.
Redskins WR Moss sidelined after knee surgery
A report from the Washington Post says that Redskins WR Santana Moss had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee this offseason and will be sidelined until June.
Redskins release Montgomery, Mitchell, three others
The Redskins released five players Monday, including DL Anthony Montgomery, WRs Marko Mitchell and James Robinson and RBs Anthony Alridge and P.J. Hill.
Galloway, Wade not crucial Redskins additions
The Redskins have been active in free agency, and signing WRs Joey Galloway and Bobby Wade is a good example of the new approach.
Redskins sign two veteran wide receivers
The Redskins announced Thursday that they have signed free-agent WRs Joey Galloway and Bobby Wade.
Redskins sign DE Scott
The Redskins have signed free-agent DE Darrion Scott, who played for Jim Haslett in the UFL.

Here are the players who were chosen by the Washington Redskins in the 2010 NFL draft.
Redskins trade QB Campbell to Raiders
The Redskins sent QB Jason Campbell to the Raiders for a 2012 fourth-round pick, reports indicate.
Williams fits what Shanahan wants
OT Trent Williams is a classic fit for a Mike Shanahan zone offense with the feet and the lateral ability to move well to be a perfect fit in this kind of system. But does he want to be great?
Redskins beef up D-line with Carriker, Green
While the status of disgruntled DT Albert Haynesworth remains in limbo, the Redskins have started to stockpile DL help.
Rams trade Carriker to Redskins, sign RFA Ryan
The Rams remained busy on the DT front Tuesday, trading former first-round draft pick Adam Carriker to the Redskins and signing starting DT Clifton Ryan to a one-year tender offer.
The Detroit Lions bolstered their depleted secondary Wednesday, claiming cornerback Jerome Murphy off waivers from the New Orleans Saints.||||||| The two-year veteran played the first two games of the season for New Orleans before being waived Monday. He had an interception and 25 tackles in 14 games with St. Louis in 2010. The Lions, who were already missing safety Louis Delmas, and cornerbacks Chris Houston and Bill Bentley before Sunday's loss at San Francisco, lost cornerback Drayton Florence indefinitely after he suffered a broken arm during the game.
New Orleans has claimed Murphy off of waivers from the St. Louis Rams.||||||| Murphy, whose acquisition was announced Sunday, was selected by the Rams out of South Florida in the third round of the 2010 draft. He played in 14 games as a rookie before missing all of 2011 with a broken ankle.
Murphy has landed on injured reserve with an ankle injury.||||||| Murphy was a first-round pick in 2010 by the Rams.

Prevent Kidney Disease
Learn more to reduce your risk of kidney disease and take the pledge to #preventkidneydisease.
Regular exercise is important for everyone – and that includes people with kidney disease and those at risk for developing kidney disease. Regular exercise will help you feel better, stronger, and give you more energy. With a new year right around the corner, now is a great time to start an exercise plan!
Regular exercise will help increase your muscle strength, your energy levels, and your overall ability to do the things you need to do in your life. Regular exercise has the following benefits:
It is important to talk to your doctor about starting exercise, especially if you have had problems with your heart (such as a heart attack, bypass surgery, angioplasty, or chest pain) or if you experience excessive shortness of breath. You should also talk to your doctor if you are interested in more vigorous exercise, or sports like basketball, tennis or other activities. Talk to your doctor about setting up an exercise plan and getting started with an exercise program.
There are several types of exercise:
All of these types of exercise are important for overall physical fitness; however, it may be best for less fit, weaker individuals to start with stretching and strengthening exercises with gradual progression to cardiovascular exercise. The key to beginning a program is to start the exercises slowly and progress gradually. You should exercise at a time during the day when you feel your best. For some people, that is first thing in the morning. For others, it is in the afternoon or evening. It is most important to do your exercise regularly, and it is best to plan a specific time every day for your exercise session. This will help it become part of your regular routine.
Remember, when starting a fitness plan it is important to set realistic goals. You may find it helpful to write down your own personal fitness plan and keep a journal or record. Ask friends and family for encouragement to help keep you motivated. In general, reviewing your exercise goals with your physician is worthwhile, especially if you have chronic kidney disease or cardiovascular disease.
These are general tips for getting started with exercise. For specific help go to http://www.nia.nih.gov/HealthInformation/Publications/ExerciseGuide/
For tips on how to stay fit if you have CKD see the National Kidney Foundation's Publication Staying Fit with Kidney Disease available here http://www.kidney.org/atoz/pdf/stayfit.pdf

Red Velvet Muffins Recipe
Feb 4, 2012 1:01 pm
The best red velvet cupcakes ever, for brunch
It's no joke, Red Velvet Pancakes was Food Republic's most popular recipe of 2011. Like Chinese oranging, red velveting is a lot easier than you think (as is inventing food verbs). Say, that looks a lot like a red velvet cupcake. We maintain that this recipe churns out frosting-free, not-too-sweet muffins. You could technically red velvet a croissant if you wanted to stick it to the French. Sounds tasty, right?
Smear these with whipped cream cheese while still slightly warm for a sweet-savory combination that's more appropriate for breakfast.
Servings: 1 dozen muffins
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons red food coloring
3 teaspoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder
whipped cream cheese, for serving
- In a mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add eggs, vanilla and food coloring and mix well, then fold in sour cream.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt in a large bowl, then stir in the butter mixture until just until combined. Fill a greased or paper-lined muffin tin two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- When cool enough to touch, remove to a wire rack.
- Serve with whipped cream cheese.

Good morning, Anonymous—
I'm going to do a partial punt on this one because none of us on staff have a Kindle Fire, and thus do not have an intimate knowledge of the device that might offer you specific steps. That said, we do offer each weekly show and unedited interview via podcast or as individual downloads on each episode's show page at the On Being website. I'll defer to our readers and Tumblr dashboard audience to offer better advice on apps that might make this experience easier.
I am one of those cats who uses Amazon's Cloud service. A lot. Perhaps I can offer a possible workaround in which you download the mp3 to your device and then sync it to your Amazon Cloud account. That way you can use the native music player to stream your favorite On Being episodes without having to hound-dog them on your device!
When you find a solution, please let me know what works best. We're starting to receive a number of questions about Kindles and I'd like to be able to share your solutions with others.
Happy holidays,
Trent Gilliss, senior editor

David Heyman Reveals "Deathly Hallows" Documentary is in the WorksDH Film
While at CinemaCon in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, "Harry Potter" producer David Heyman spoke with MTV News and revealed that a behind-the-scenes documentary was shot during the production of "Deathly Hallows."
The award-winning British filmmaking Morgan Matthews ("The Fallen") was given complete access to the sets, crew, and actors, and according to Heyman, "it's not just pure gloss."
"He went behind the scenes and had incredible access to talent and crew
and has made a documentary that is not yet complete, which shows the
challenges of making the film — the tolls it takes on actors and crew," [Heyman] said. "It's not just pure gloss and everybody's happy. It's real.
... At the same time, it's really, really funny."In addition to this documentary, Heyman and fellow producer David Barron talked about the vast amounts of on-set footage that was taken throughout the past ten years.
"It was a very well-documented production. We had a crew filming behind the scenes for the entire production, which is unheard of — and that's been for all the films," Barron explained. "There is material, and we'll see how it's used. I'm sure Warner Bros. will package it in some form or another."Watch the video of Heyman and Barron talking about the currently untitled documentary here.

Piaci Pub & Pizzeria
Fort Bragg's must-visit pizzeria is the place to chat up locals while enjoying microbrews and a menu of fantastic wood-fired, brick-oven, 'adult' pizza. The 'Gustoso' – an immaculate selection with chevre, pesto and seasonal pears – speaks to the carefully orchestrated thin-crust pies. It's tiny, loud and fun, but expect to wait at peak times.
