Recently, we just opened up our new modern Italian restaurant, Marzano. We embarked on a trip to Naples, Italy in 2017. We enrolled in a one week course from one of the most revered, legendary pizzaiolas, Enzo Coccia, to understand the tradition and methods behind preparing the dough and working the forno. The course was rewarding and eye opening as we learned a century-old hand stretching dough techniques and simple authentic recipes. In addition to these well-guarded methods, we discovered the beauty of pure, fresh ingredients. The San Marzano tomato is a cornerstone ingredient that the locals take pride in as it is native only to the rich volcanic soil of the area. We were inspired by this and felt we needed to take the same care in selecting our ingredients, hence the name, Marzano as an homage to quality and authenticity.
We welcome you to come check out Nelson's new restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week.

911 call: Man horrified after finding woman dead, killed by cougar
SHERWOOD, Ore. - When a woman was discovered dead at a local wildlife sanctuary, the man who found her could not believe what had happened.
In a frantic 9-1-1 call from Michael Tully, owner of the WildCat Haven sanctuary in Sherwood, you can hear him running with a phone in hand to the enclosure while talking to a dispatcher. It is difficult to make out some of what was said during the call, but here is a portion of it:
Caller: I have a keeper at Wildcat Haven who was attacked, I guess. I just got home here and I think she's dead.
9-1-1 Operator: How was she attacked?
Caller: We rescue cats and... pardon me?
9-1-1 Operator: She was attacked by a cat?
Caller: I believe. OK. By a cougar, I believe. I'm going back down. I've got to go back down to her, OK? She's down in the enclosure. I'm going down to get her. Can you hear me? I'm on a cordless phone, it's going to run out in a minute here.
9-1-1 Operator: Ok sir, she's in the cat enclosure?
Caller: She's in the cat enclosure. I'm going to get her out right now. I'm going to lose you here, OK? Do you hear me?
9-1-1 Operator: I can hear you.
Caller: We have a gate.
9-1-1 Operator: How do we get into the gate?
*Instructions are bleeped out*
Caller: I can't see. I'm going back down. Oh my God. Oh my God, Renee. Oh my God.
9-1-1 Operator: Sir, are you in a safe position to be able to go in by yourself? We don't want you to get injured. We don't want you to get hurt.
Caller: Get out of here! Go! Go! Go! Go! Oh my God! Oh my God, Renee. Oh my God, Renee. Oh my God, Renee. Oh my God!
The 36-year-old woman, an employee at the sanctuary, was killed last Saturday. The sheriff's office concluded there was no crime to be investigated.
The owners said Radziwon-Chapman had gone against protocol when she went inside the cage while no one else was at the facility.
However, Morgan Keniston, a former board member and donor for WildCat Haven, said it was common for Radziwon-Chapman and the owners to go in the cage alone. She said they would use a rake as defense and not take the time to secure all the animals in the lockout area before going in the cages.
"Renee was the main keeper of those animals and she was put under a ton of pressure to constantly be the one taking care of those animals," Keniston said.
When asked whether keepers always went inside the cages in pairs, Keniston said "No, no no - that's a blatant lie."
Keniston said she remembers Renee having scratches on her arms and neck, and that the woman had even gone to the hospital a couple of years ago.
She had her throat kind of ripped," she said. "They blamed it on a dog because they didn't want the insurance company to find out."
Radziwon-Chapman's mother said her daughter expressed safety concerns, saying she was often left alone, just days before her death.
"She really, really loved those animals, but she had no help," Keniston said.
Keniston was asked to resign from the WildCat Haven board in 2010. She said they accused her of making slanderous remarks at a social event, which she denies.
We called the sanctuary to ask about Keniston's comments. Their spokesman said they have no comment. Keniston said what happened in 2010 is not why she is speaking up now.
"I could have done something in those two or three years to retaliate," she said. "I'm not retaliating. Somebody lost their life who didn't need to lose their life."
WildCat Haven houses tigers, cougars and other predators. The facility is not open to the public, but does provide on-site tours to donors. The facility has nearly 60 cats, including four tigers, according to its website.

We've all heard it said that there's nothing quite so educational as travel. Well, MOTHER EARTH NEWS' Tours expand on that truism, seeking out educational travel adventures that not only offer the usual cultural, historical, and recreational travel attractions ... but also provide a chance to meet with experts in fields that we believe will be of interest (and of lasting value) to our readers!
Checking Out China
For example, about the time readers received this issue, 32 of MOTHER EARTH NEWS' tourists boarded a Japan Airlines flight in San Francisco for the long journey to Beijing and southern China's semitropical agricultural regions. Once there, they studied—for almost three weeks—some of the intensive farming methods used to feed that country's huge population.
This unusual tour filled up within weeks after it was announced ... so we entered negotiations with the Chinese government to plan another such trip next summer. Our second excursion will visit China's northern "grain belt."
Brazil's "Liquid Sunshine"
Brazil is often referred to as South America's "sleeping giant," but during the 1973 OPEC embargo that nation's government was wide awake to the country's energy situation. Because the land has almost no petroleum resources of its own, Brazil began—at that time—serious research into the possibility of switching its gasoline and diesel vehicles to renewable fuels.
The Brazilian people have since made remarkable progress, and—from January 16 to February 1, 1981—you'll have a chance to see for yourself what they've accomplished on a nationwide basis, and an opportunity to talk to some of the growers, distillers, engineers, scientists, and government officials who are helping to complete the switch from a petroleum-based to an alcohol-fuel-based economy.
Since no trip to Brazil would be complete without a look at the mysterious Amazon, our journey will begin in Manaus, an old rubber boom town located 1,000 miles up this mighty river and in the very heart of the great South American jungle. From there, we'll move on to Recife, an old colonial city called the "Venice of Brazil," where large alcohol fuel distilleries will be in full operation.
Our next stop will be Sao Paulo, one of the world's largest and most dynamic urban areas. While in this friendly and sophisticated metropolis, we'll drop by the Volkswagen and Ford plants for a look at their new alcohol-fueled cars, and talk to Mercedes-Benz engineers about that firm's conversion of diesel engines to alcohol (and more recent experiments with other renewable diesel fuels). We'll also visit research centers, a small farm distillery, and a medium-sized installation that's experimenting with resources other than sugar cane for ethanol production.
We'll end our trip in colorful Rio de Janeiro. There, between sightseeing and sunbathing on the beautiful beaches, we'll learn about the projected ecological impact of the alternative fuel program ... and meet with government researchers who are involved in making experimental fuel from several kinds of exotic plants.
So while the Northern Hemisphere is in the icy grip of winter, join us on a sunny sojourn in the South American summer. The trip will cost $2,395 ... including airfare from Miami, hotels, land costs, and breakfasts. A $100 deposit ($50 of which is refundable if you cancel) will reserve your place on a tour that no one else offers.
Solar, Solar Everywhere
Israel also has to import all its oil ... but that tiny land's one great natural resource—sunshine—makes it a natural laboratory for the study of solar energy. And, because of the nation's small size, it's possible to see more solar installations there in a day than one could visit during weeks of travel in the United States. (Israelis, in fact, live with practical sun power as casually as we do with television.)
For that reason, MOTHER EARTH NEWS is joining Jordan College for our second solar tour of Israel from February 18 to March 3, 1981. The cost is only $1,545 (including airfare from New York and all land costs except lunches and dinners). A $200 deposit ($100 of which is refundable if you cancel) will reserve a place for you on a journey that provides both a chance to observe a nation totally committed to the use of solar energy, and a marvelous opportunity to explore its many historical sites as well.
A Solar Odyssey to England and France
Some countries to the north of Israel have also found the sun to be a practical energy source. From August 23 to September 6, 1981 we'll join Jordan College on an expedition that will combine a visit to the International Solar Energy Society (ISES) conference in Brighton, England with a leisurely tour of France.
Besides visiting Paris, we'll take our solar search to a variety of sun-powered installations scattered throughout the Gallic countryside ... into the Pyrenees . .. and, finally, to the stunning French Riviera. The trip is currently priced at $1,100, including airfare from New York and all land costs except for lunches and dinners ... and we need the same deposit as for the Israel tour.
A Scandinavian Crafts Tour
For the more artistically oriented among you, we're currently putting together a Scandinavian Crafts Tour (scheduled to run from May 5 through May 22, 1981) to Finland and Denmark. Don Wilcox, one of our group leaders, has lived and worked in Scandinavia for a decade, and—over the years—has interviewed more than 1,500 of its craftspeople and published 14 books on their work.
You'll have a chance to tour outstanding museums ... meet with craft guilds ... visit artisans (many of them Don's personal friends) at work in their studios ... picnic on the Finnish fortress island of Suomenlinna ... explore some unspoiled Danish islands ... visit old Viking graveyards ... bicycle through story book villages ... and much, much more!
If you'd like to join us for a very personal visit to these northern lands, send your deposit for $100, and—again—$50 will be refunded if you cancel. Because we'll be using comfortable, but not "overpackaged" accommodations, we'll be able to offer you this trip for around $1,850 ... including airfare from New York, hotels, land costs, breakfasts, five box lunches, and four evening dinners plus a welcome luncheon in Helsinki and a farewell dinner in Finland. (We'll even throw in a free visit to a Scandinavian sauna!)
A South Seas Seminar
We're very pleased to announce that, for our final tour of 1981, MOTHER EARTH NEWS' Ecoscience columnists,Anne and Paul Ehrlich—together with their friend and coauthor John P. Holdren, Professor of Energy and Resources at the University of California at Berkeley—have agreed to lead a once-in-a-lifetime expedition (from November 27 to December 11, 1981) to the South Pacific!
After flying from the U.S. West Coast to Tahiti, this entire "dream vacation" will be spent on the enchanted islands of Bora Bora and Raïatéa. There, we'll snorkel and study reef fishes by day, and—on selected evenings—Anne, Paul, and John will conduct seminars on food, ecology, and energy.
This incredible opportunity to enjoy a South Seas paradise and at the same time to work with (and learn from) three of the finest scientific minds around will cost about $2,300 (including airfare, hotels, and some meals). And although this tour is more than a year away, we expect the limited number of seats to fill quickly ... so send us your $100 deposit, and we'll return $50 if you have to cancel.

Author Notes: This recipe for the pastry dough, which I usually make with unbleached all-purpose flour, is my favorite for all kinds of pies, strudels, turnovers, baked empanadas and I even use it for Napoleons' Cake crusts( makes 6 8-by-12-inch rectangles) filled with Pastry Cream or Lemon Curd.
The sour cream and egg yolks give the dough not only flakiness but makes a much more tender and easy to roll and shape dough. Sour cream pastry dough never cracks and it didn't disappoint me even this time, although I used deferent flours.
You can fill this Galettes with fruits, berries, Ricotta and other cheeses, meat, potato and also use this dough for Quiche and tarts.
Serves: 8
For the pastry dough: makes 2 crusts.
• 1cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled
• 2 cups white rice flour, plus more for work surface
• 1 cup fine ground corn meal
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup cold sour cream
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Zest of 1 large lemon
For the filling:
• 3/4 cup creamy Peanut Butter
• 3/4 cup Seedless Raspberry Jam
• 1 cup fine ground Pecans or Walnuts
• 1/3 cup organic light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
- Cut butter into 1/4-inch cubes. Place in an even layer on a plate and transfer to refrigerator to chill.
- Place the rice flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse several times to combine. Add the butter, and egg yolks, process, until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Add sour cream and process until the dough just holds together (do not process for more than 30 seconds).
- Turn out dough onto a work surface. Divide in half, and place each half on a piece of plastic wrap. Flatten each to form a disk. Wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 1 day before using.
- For the Galette you will need only one half of the dough, the other half I keep in the freezer.
- To make the filling; ground nuts with the light brown sugar and cinnamon. In a medium bowl mix jam and peanut butter, add the nuts and vanilla and stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 14-inch round, about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a shallow glass pie baking dish.
- Arrange the filling on top of dough. Fold border over the filling, overlapping where necessary. Brush edges of dough with egg, sprinkle with sugar. Transfer to refrigerator and chill 15 to 20 minutes.
- Bake until crust is golden brown and the filling starts bubbling, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer baking dish to a wire rack to cool the galette. Serve warm or at room temperature.

2002 Dodge Ram 1500 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Truckville gets a new mayor.
Dodge has completely redesigned and re-engineered its Ram for the 2002 model year. This all-new pickup boasts levels of refinement and comfort that match those of the best trucks from General Motors and Ford. New designs from GM and Ford had put them ahead on this score, but that's all changed with the 2002 Dodge Ram. The new Ram offers a much smoother ride and a bigger, more comfortable, and more convenient cab.
Refinement doesn't mean the Dodge Ram has gone soft, however. This year's Ram offers improved towing and hauling capability, and more powerful, more efficient engines. This complete overhaul puts the Dodge back on solid ground with the half-ton pickups from Ford and GM.
Dodge Ram is available with two cab configurations, Regular Cab and Quad Cab. Ordering the four-door, six-passenger Quad Cab adds $4100-$5200 to the bottom line. Quad Cab models ride on a wheelbase that's 20 -inches longer than comparable regular cab models.
Two bed lengths are available, a 6-foot, 3-inch standard bed and an 8-foot long bed. Ordering the long bed only adds about $300 to the price. Long-bed models ride on a wheelbase that's 20 inches longer than comparable short-bed models. Eight-foot long beds also get a bigger fuel tank, 35 gallons in place of the standard 26-gallon tank.
Three engines are offered: Most popular will be the 4.7-liter V8, a new overhead cam design. A new 3.7-liter V6 is available that's similar in design to the 4.7-liter V8 is available. And, for towing, there's a big 5.9-liter engine using the older overhead-valve design.
A five-speed manual transmission is standard with the 3.7- and 4.7-liter engines; a four-speed automatic ($975) is optional. The 5.7-liter V8 comes standard with a heavy-duty automatic.
Four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive are available. Four-wheel drive adds approximately $3250-$4250.
Trim levels and trim packages include basic ST, SLT, SLT Plus, and Sport. ST comes standard with air conditioning, but is equipped with vinyl upholstery, wind-up windows, and manual door locks. SLT adds roughly $1700-$1800 and includes cloth upholstery, nicer interior trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a host of luxury and convenience, and wider tires. SLT Plus is the luxury package, which costs in the neighborhood of $6255-$6535 and brings leather seating surfaces, dual-zone air conditioning, a premium stereo, cast aluminum wheels, and a long, long list of luxury and convenience features. Sport trim is available for about $470; add another $1100 or so if you want the aggressive street-rodder 20-inch wheels and tires.
Dodge says prices have actually dropped slightly over last year. Base price for a Ram 4x2 Regular Cab ST 1500 is $17,670 ($715 destination charge included). Ram Quad Cab 4x4 models start at $26,065.
Heavy-duty versions of the Ram will not be introduced until next year, as 2003 models. Until then, shoppers for heavy-duty Ram models will be looking at the previous-generation of trucks.
The Ram's radical big-rig styling turned the pickup world upside down when it was introduced in 1994. It was a highly successful design, one that gave the Dodge pickups a look of power and capability. The bold styling also helped boost sales exponentially. So Dodge had no intention of turning away from the big horse-collar grille and Freightliner fenders when it redesigned the Ram, and the look established eight years ago has been maintained.
Though evolutionary in design, the sheet metal is indeed all new. Park a 2002 Ram next to a 2001 Ram and the differences are striking. The design has been extensively re-sculpted for reduced wind noise and better rainwater management. The new Ram looks sleek and refined compared with the previous model. The old one looks mashed down compared with the new one.
Few grilles are as instantly recognizable as the massive horse collar grille of the Ram. Even more massive this year, the grille distinguishes among trim levels: The horse collar is all chrome on the SLT model, with a gray honeycomb center. SLT+ features a body-color grille surround and chrome cross hairs. Sport trim includes a body-color surround and cross hairs with unique chrome billets in the center.
Moving rearward, the new Ram presents a more robust appearance than before with a broad, sloping hood and a pronounced crown that falls to the bold front fenders. A faster, raked-back windshield improves aerodynamics and water management, and gives the new Ram a more modern appearance. The leading edge of the front door overlaps the A-pillar, creating a smoother transition from the front of the cab to the side. Everything is smoother and more integrated. The big side mirrors, great for visibility, are now mounted on platforms to reduce wind noise, and a channel has been specially designed to keeps water off of the mirrors. An integrated air dam improves engine cooling and air conditioner performance.
Standard bed length is 6 feet, 3 inches, but an 8-foot bed is now available for both cab styles. That makes the Ram Quad Cab the only half-ton crew-cab pickup with an 8-foot bed. (By comparison, the Ford F-150 SuperCrew only comes with a 5.5-foot bed while the new Chevy Silverado 1500HD only comes with a 6.5-foot bed.) The 160.5-inch wheelbase for a Dodge Ram Quad Cab with an eight-foot bed is 20 inches longer than short-bed Quad Cab or long-bed regular cab models, which increases the turning diameter by 6 feet; but it's just 3 inches longer than Ford and Chevy long-bed extended-cab models. Regardless, Ram beds are fitted with boat cleats designed to handle 1,000 pounds each.
Rams sit pretty high off the ground, particularly the four-wheel-drive models. Tailgate load height is 35 inches on four-wheel-drive models, 33.6 inches on two-wheel-drive Rams. That's a bit much when trying to heave heavy gear aboard.
Ram interiors are completely redesigned for 2002. In fact, one of the biggest improvements offered by the new Ram is in the area of comfort.
That comfort starts with roominess. To increase roominess, Dodge stole 3 inches out of the bed and added more than 3 inches to the cab. So you sacrifice a little bed space for a lot more wiggle room.
Two cab styles are available: a regular cab and the four-door, six-passenger Quad Cab. (Club Cab extended-cab models are history; people stopped buying them when Dodge introduced its first Quad Cab in 1998.) Regular cab and Quad Cab offer identical roominess in the front seats. Dodge claims its regular cab offers the largest interior of any full-size regular cab pickup.
The cloth 40/20/40 split bench front seat in the Sport model is quite supportive, better than some of the seats we've seen recently in other brands. The optional leather seats are also comfortable and supportive during long drives. Three-point shoulder belts are used at all locations, including the rear center seat. Optional power adjustable pedals ($120) let shorter drivers adjust their seating position better so they aren't sitting so close to the airbag; it's a great, affordable option for two-driver families that offers significant comfort and safety benefits.
Pedals are adjustable so shorter drivers in the family can get comfortable without worrying about being too close to the airbag. (Side-curtain airbags are a $395 option.) Nice big mirrors make it easier to see what's behind. A big fold-down center armrest/console comes with adjustable dividers and a power outlet. White-faced instruments with turquoise numbers look sporty and trendy, but don't offer the legibility of traditional white-on-black designs, particularly at dusk. At night, the instruments are nicely illuminated in green.
The design of the audio system could be improved for ease of use. Sometimes you have to search for the right button to press. Setting a button for a station, for example, requires pressing a separate Set button, rather than just holding the button down. Sliding bass and treble controls are harder to adjust than knobs when bouncing around in a pickup truck. Optional steering wheel audio controls ($75) solve this with brilliantly designed buttons behind the steering wheel that are much easier to use than the awkward steering wheel controls found on GM's full-size trucks. Likewise, cruise controls on the steering wheel are easy to operate.
Otherwise, the center dash is a paradigm of convenience. Large heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) buttons can be operated while wearing gloves. A textured fabric is used for trim around the audio and HVAC controls, somewhat similar to what's found in Volkswagens, gives the center dash a nice look and feel. Just below the HVAC controls is a slot lined with a rubber mat that's perfect for a wallet or other small items. A big panel below that folds down with adjustable cup holders. Overhead is a console with an effective pair of map lights, a trip computer, a compartment for sunglasses, and a compass, which every self-respecting truck should have.
Regular cab models come fitted with a tray behind the seats big enough to hold a large bucket. Dodge even supplies the bucket, a tray designed to carry tools and such. Big hooks behind the seats are handy for hanging dry cleaning or plastic shopping bags so your groceries don't roll all over the place. There's even a hook just to the right of the center dash that's useful for hanging onto a couple of grocery bags; the Brits call these curry hooks.
The new Quad Cab is quite nice. About 80 percent of all Ram buyers will opt for the Quad Cab. It's easy to see why. The rear seat is roomy, with enough rake to the seatback to make it comfortable for two adults. Its size also makes the rear bench seat suitable for child safety seats. All three rear seating positions can accommodate child safety seats and are fitted with tether anchors.
Driving Impression
A pleasant ride quality and a responsive engine characterize the driving experience. The 2002 Dodge Ram rides much more smoothly than last year's model.
A rigid new chassis has reduced vibration dramatically. Dodge used an increasingly popular manufacturing process called hydroforming to fashion the frame. Instead of having to weld a bunch of straight pieces together, Dodge uses ultra-high water pressure to form the frame in any shape needed. This highly rigid frame is arguably the most important aspect of this new pickup. It allowed Dodge engineers to redesign the Ram suspension and to tune it precisely, without having to work around a lot of chassis flex.
A new rack-and-pinion steering setup sharpens handling, and 17-inch wheels are standard. The result is better handling, a better ride, and a truck that feels much tighter. Handling and maneuverability were key goals of the Ram design team, according to Dodge, in an effort to help drivers avoid crashes. All Rams come standard with big four-wheel disc brakes that are smooth and easy to modulate. Dodge claims they are the largest brakes in the segment.
Pickup trucks don't seem to be getting any smaller. One of the first sensations of driving the Ram is awareness of its immense proportions. This truck feels big and tall, and its fenders seem to fill small country roads. The ride height of the Ram adds to this sensation. It's sometimes difficult to be sure exactly where your fenders are, so it's not the best truck for the timid. In this regard, the Ram is the opposite of the Toyota Tundra, which feels smaller and nimbler by comparison. The big Ram reminds us a bit of driving an off-road race truck. It handles reasonably well and powers through or over just about anything, but the tires aren't always precisely where you wanted them.
Most Ram buyers will get the new 4.7-liter V8, and it's the best choice unless you have good, specific reasons to order the 3.7-liter or 5.9-liter engine. The first thing I noticed about driving a Ram pickup with the 4.7-liter was its responsiveness. This truck feels very eager around town and on winding roads. It accelerates quickly onto freeways and has no trouble powering up grades. It's a smooth, sophisticated engine that always feels ready to go.
The 4.7-liter V8 and 3.7-liter V6 are overhead-cam designs, smaller and more efficient than the overhead-valve engines they replace. The 4.7-liter V8, for example, offers a 1 mpg improvement (13/17 mpg City/Highway for a 4WD automatic) over the 5.2-liter V8 engine it replaces; it revs higher and produces 240 horsepower, 10 more than the 5.2-liter, but torque has dropped by 5 foot-pounds to 295. In practical terms, this is splitting hairs. What you will notice is that the 4.7-liter engine feels smoother and more refined, emitting a pleasant American burble while underway. I really liked it. Likewise the transmission feels smooth and does a good job of keeping the engine in the power band.
The new 3.7-liter V6 is smooth and works just fine with the manual five-speed gearbox. It might be a good choice for someone who lives in the flatlands at relatively low altitudes and neither pulls trailers nor hauls heavy loads.
The 5.9-liter engine uses the older overhead-valve design; the 5.9-liter engine and transmission feel crude in comparison to the new 4.7-liter. The 5.9 will do a good job of towing, but on the road it doesn't feel noticeably more powerful than the 4.7.
Trailer towing capacities range from just 3150 pounds for a 3.7-liter V6 with 2WD manual transmission to 8650 for a 5.9-liter V8 with 2WD automatic and 3.92 rear axle ratio. A 4WD Ram with the 4.7-liter is rated to pull a 7,550-pound trailer with the 3.92 rear axle ratio. Those who need to pull trailers up to 8500 pounds will want to opt for the 5.9-liter engine. It delivers 245 horsepower and 335 pounds-feet of torque. The available 20-inch wheels reduce towing capacity by 1000 pounds.
Payloads range from a mere 1320 po.
Dodge has done it again. Eight years after breaking the rules for pickups, Dodge has redesigned its Ram and reasserted itself as a top contender among full-size trucks. The 2002 Dodge Ram is stylish and highly capable. It's also comfortable.
Quad Cab models offer a brilliant combination of comfort and utility. And regular cab versions are far roomier than they used to be and are thoughtfully set up to accommodate gear behind the seat.

For June, Keats House Museum, Hampstead, is mounting a program of events about the poet's situation in and around London--and not only at the house in Hampstead.
(No, this is not a scene from a Japanese SF movie.)
Here is the schedule of events for the next few weeks:
Wednesday 9 June at 7.00 pm
Visit the City of London where John Keats was born and grew up. Jean Haynes, a Blue Badge Guide, will lead a walk from the banks of the River Thames to Moorgate. We will visit the site of John Keats birth, the family church and the place where his father died. Meet outside Blackfriars Tube Station at 7.00pm.
Places are limited so please book at Keats House. Tickets priced £5.50 adults, £4.50 concessions.
Wednesday 16 June at 7.00pm
An opportunity to visit The Old Operating Theatre and Herb Garret. The Museum is found at the top of a rickety spiral staircase in the barn-like roof space of an old Church. The Operating Theatre is built in the old Herb Garret of St Thomas's Hospital. While the Garret has a charming old world atmosphere of oak beams and bundles of herbs, the Theatre itself is a shocking reminder of the harsh reality of life before modern science and technology. John Keats studied to be a Surgeon Apothecary at Guy's Hospital in 1815 and would have worked in an operating theatre like this one. Meet outside the Old Operating Theatre, 9a St. Thomas's St. London SE1 9RY (Click here for a map of St Thomas's.) Places are limited so please book at Keats House. Tickets priced £8.50.
Thursday 24 June at 7.00pm.
The Keats House Collection of books and manuscripts is held at London Metropolitan Archives in Clerkenwell. This will be a chance to view some of the items, including manuscripts by John Keats, and to hear from the Archivists who care for them.
London Metropolitan Archives
40 Northampton Road, London. EC1R 0HB
Places are limited so please book at Keats House. Tickets priced £7.50.
For more information and other events, visit the Keats House Museum Website.

Saints shoot for 3-0 start against CardinalsSep 20, 2013 - 4:13 PM (Sports Network) - A win is a win in the National Football League no matter how it's done. The New Orleans Saints have won in less-than-stellar fashion over the first two weeks and could care less because they're 2-0 and alone at the top in the NFC South.
The Saints will try for the first 3-0 start since opening 13-0 and winning the Super Bowl in 2009 when they host the Arizona Cardinals Sunday at the Superdome.
After they battled back in Week 1 to defeat the defending NFC South-champion Atlanta Falcons, the Saints used a vintage Drew Brees drive in Sunday's 16-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brees marched New Orleans into scoring position with big completions to Jimmy Graham, Darren Sproles and Marques Colston, setting up Garrett Hartley's 27-yard field goal as time expired.
Brees has produced 22 regular-season drives in the fourth quarter or overtime for a touchdown or field goal to lead New Orleans to victory from a deficit or tie. He completed 26-of-46 passes for 322 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, one of which was returned for a score and gave the Bucs a short-lived 14-13 lead. He has passed for more than 300 yards in seven straight games, a mark that sits two short of his NFL-record streak.
New Orleans seems back on track with head coach Sean Payton on the sidelines again and Brees was asked about the Saints' identity after two games.
"You look from last year to this year, each team had to kind of reestablish their identity and that ability to stick together and win football games like this. When you're down and things haven't been going your way, making critical mistakes, you got to prove it to yourself that you can go out there and continue to win football games like this. And there are a lot of games like this in the NFL. We proved a lot to ourselves today. We're 2-0 (with) both wins against a divisional opponent. This is where we imagined ourselves being and, obviously, the matter that we won these two games has been pretty exciting. These are the ones you have to win in order to get to the goals that you set for yourself."
The Saints set out to establish a lot of goals after going 7-9 last season without Payton, who was suspended the entire year for his alleged involvement in a bounty scandal. They are still waiting for that breakout performance, something tight end Jimmy Graham had against Tampa Bay. Graham has only four catches for 45 yards and a score in Week 1, then hauled in 10 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown on Sunday.
Graham reiterated how the Saints haven't played their best football yet.
"We really haven't, we're slowly figuring it out. We're slowly finding the identity of this team and we have a lot of work to do," Graham said. "We know we have a lot of work to do. We can get so much better and we're going to take this film and look at it and assess how we can get better."
One area the Saints can improve is running the football. They had 78 rushing yards versus the Falcons and 75 against the Bucs. The Saints are primarily known for airing it out, but it's nice to have a sound running game to even the field. New Orleans uses a three-headed attack on the ground with leading rusher Pierre Thomas, all-purpose back Sproles and Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram. The Saints are 24th in rushing with just 76.5 ypg.
Arizona is slightly better at running the football than New Orleans and prefers to have quarterback Carson Palmer stepping back in the pocket and firing away. Palmer had a strong Arizona debut in a 27-24 loss at St. Louis with 327 yards, two TDs and an interception. He passed for 248 yards with a touchdown and a pick in Sunday's 25-21 win over Detroit.
The Cardinals could easily be 0-2 or undefeated after two weeks. They gutted it out against the Lions, scoring the last 12 points and playing without star wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald for most of the fourth quarter because of a left hamstring issue. Fitzgerald tried playing through it and knew something was wrong after drawing a pass interference penalty on cornerback Bill Bentley. Fitzgerald ended with two catches for 33 yards.
"I didn't want to be a liability for my team," Fitzgerald said. "A couple of years back I would've tried to keep going, but Kerry (Taylor) and I have been working together for a year now and I knew he was prepared."
Taylor, who was promoted from the practice squad Saturday, caught three passes for 40 yards and was one of 10 players to catch a pass. Fitzgerald is expected to be ready for the New Orleans game.
Cardinals running back Rashard Mendenhall scored on a one-yard touchdown run with 1:59 on the clock and the play was set up on another pass interference call on Bentley in the end zone.
The win was also the first for Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians.
"It's not always going to be perfect," Arians said. "You've got to learn how to ride the emotions of the game, stay with it. I thought our coaches did a great job with some adjustments in the second half and some young kids really stepped up."
Arizona is in the midst of playing four of its first six games on the road and owns a 14-13 record against the Saints in the regular season. The Saints clobbered the Cardinals, 45-14, in a divisional playoff during 2009.
Don't count on the Saints changing their offensive game plan for Sunday. It will be a wise move to try not to establish a running game because the Cardinals are third in the NFL in stopping the rush, holding two teams so far to an average of 58.0 yards per game.
The Cardinals are allowing 286.0 passing yards per game and Brees averages slightly more than that. Expect Brees to get all of his moving parts in order with wide receiver Marques Colston, Graham and Sproles. Graham and Sproles lead the Saints in receptions with 14 and 12, respectively. Sproles is tough to pick up out of the backfield, so expect to see matchup problems for the Arizona defense.
Payton, though, feels his offense is still a work in progress.
"There's a lot that we have to look at and clean up. Fortunately, it's coming off a win," Payton said. "But again, we are quickly trying to, as best we can, make the corrections and look for that consistency. We will continue to do that. We have a lot to fix. We have a ton of football to play and we have a lot of things that we've got to clean up."
Cardinals leading tackler and inside linebacker Karlos Dansby is a tough player and could be in for a long afternoon. Covering Graham is no easy task for any player and the former basketball player has the size, strength and speed to post up on defenders. Cardinals talented cornerback Patrick Peterson can't do it all in coverage and safeties Yeremiah Bell and Rashad Johnson cannot get beat deep in a loud Superdome. If Cardinals rookie and Louisiana native Tyrann Mathieu thought playing in the SEC was tough, he'll be in for a real treat Sunday.
Cardinals defensive end Darnell Dockett has confidence in Mathieu.
"That boy is a baller," Dockett said. "You cannot tell him he's not the best at what he does. Any time he steps on the field, it's personal for him."
New Orleans has played well under new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and is allowing 196.0 passing yards per game over the first two weeks. For Ryan's sake, the defense hopes Fitzgerald is still nursing that hamstring issue to make it easier in coverage. Saints cornerback Patrick Robinson is nicked up and is hoping to compete Sunday. He was carted off the field after taking a block on a running play.
If the Saints' secondary remains thin, they'll need to attack the line of scrimmage and get to Palmer. Palmer has been sacked five times in two games, one more than the entire New Orleans defense has accumulated. The Saints should know that the Cardinals will try to establish a running game because they are facing the 27th-ranked run defense (124.0 ypg).
Sunday's game is primed for a track meet with both clubs finding it easy to move the chains and score points. The Saints have the edge only because they're playing in front of the home crowd. If Fitzgerald is still bothered by a hamstring problem the Cardinals may suffer. However, they were able to rally past the Lions without Fitzgerald in crunch time. Meanwhile, Brees and Graham are already in mid-season form and will continue to connect Sunday in a close one.

Mitt Romney told his top donors Wednesday that his loss to President Obama was a disappointing result that neither he nor his top aides had expected, but said he believed his team ran a "superb" campaign with "no drama," and attributed his rival's victory to "the gifts" the administration had given to blacks, Hispanics and young voters during Obama's first term.
Obama, Romney argued, had been "very generous" to blacks, Hispanics and young voters. He cited as motivating factors to young voters the administration's plan for partial forgiveness of college loan interest and the extension of health coverage for students on their parents' insurance plans well into their 20s. Free contraception coverage under Obama's healthcare plan, he added, gave an extra incentive to college-age women to back the president.
Romney argued that Obama's healthcare plan's promise of coverage "in perpetuity" was "highly motivational" to those voters making $25,000 to $35,000 who might not have been covered, as well as to African American and Hispanic voters. Pivoting to immigration, Romney said the Obama campaign's efforts to paint him as "anti-immigrant" had been effective and that the administration's promise to offer what he called "amnesty" to the children of illegal immigrants had helped turn out Hispanic voters in record numbers.
