Tendons are tough fibers that connect muscle to bone. Tendinopathy is an injury to the tendon. It can cause pain and swelling and make it difficult to move. Tendinopathy may be:
- Tendonitis—inflammation of the tendon
- Tendinosis—tiny tears in the tendon with no major inflammation
The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscle at the heel bone. An achilles tendinopathy is pain in this tendon.
Tendinopathy is most often caused by overuse of a muscle and tendon. Over time, the regular strain on the tendon causes the structure of the tendon to change.
Overuse of the achilles tendon can happen with:
- Increasing your speed or running long distances too quickly
- Suddenly adding strenuous hills or stair climbing to your exercise routine
- Doing too much too soon after taking time away from exercising
- A sudden or violent contraction of the calf muscles, such as during an all-out sprint
- Running too much
Risk Factors
Achilles tendinopathy is more common in older adults due to the aging process. Other factors that may increase your risk of getting achilles tendinopathy include:
- Improper or badly worn footwear
- Lack of flexibility of the calf muscles
- An improper training program—such as increasing intensity too quickly
Symptoms of tendinopathy may include:
- Tenderness—usually just above the heel bone and often more noticeable in the morning
- Stiffness that gradually eases as the tendon is warmed-up
- Pain after activity that gradually worsens
- Pain along the tendon during and/or after running
- Swelling in the area of the Achilles tendon
- Pain at the back of the ankle
You will be asked about your symptoms and exercise habits. A physical exam will be done and the doctor will check the motion of your ankle. A diagnosis will be made based on the exam and history.
If more damage is suspected or the diagnosis is unclear the doctor may order imaging tests. Tests may include x-rays, ultrasound, or MRI scan.
Tendinopathy may take weeks or months to fully heal. Treatments include:
Full rest is usually not needed. Tendons do need a break from activities that are causing pain. A gradual return to normal activity will decrease the chance of damaging the tendon again.
Other supportive steps may include, icing the area, shoe inserts, or ankle taping. Prescription or over-the-counter medications may be advised to reduce pain.
Physical Therapy
A physical therapist will assess the tendon. Ultrasound and/or massage may be done to help relieve tension.
An exercise program will be created to strengthen and stretch the calf muscles. This can help with recovery and in preventing future injuries.
To decrease your chances of getting Achilles tendonitis:
- Wear appropriate footwear for your sport.
- Replace footwear that shows signs of wear.
- Gradually add hill work, stairs, speed, and distance to your routine.
- Stretch and strengthen the calf muscles regularly.

Another View -- Terie Norelli: A good compromise budget for NHTERIE NORELLI
July 12. 2013 11:18PM
LAST NOVEMBER, New Hampshire voted in a new Democratic House, a new Democratic governor and Republican Senate. Voters sent us to Concord to put aside ideological agendas and work together to restore investments in our communities and to solve the problems facing our state. The House, along with Gov. Maggie Hassan and the Senate, accomplished this goal by passing the first truly bipartisan budget in decades.
While many will jump at the chance to take credit for this budget compromise, this is not a Republican budget or a Democratic budget; it is a New Hampshire budget. Beginning with the governor's initial proposal in February, all sides worked hard to address the challenges our state faced in the aftermath of the last budget that slashed funding for higher education and social services.
The House agreed with most of the governor's proposed budget and we found common ground with the Senate version, which, with the aid of additional revenue, funded many things that the House supported but did not have sufficient revenue for at the time. We didn't agree with all of the Senate's choices, but our agreements far outweighed our disagreements as we sat down to negotiate the final compromise.
The two most significant areas of contention were a $50 million "back of the budget" cut to the state workforce and the omission of Medi-caid expansion in the Senate budget. The Republican Senate was miles apart from the position of the Democratic House and Gov. Hassan on both these issues when we initially started negotiating.
We felt that the "back of the budget" cut was a glaring example of ideology trumping common-sense government.
During negotiations, the Republican Senate was asked to defer those cuts to the second year of the biennium, reduced by any revenue surplus beyond their own projections. This would further allow the governor and agency heads to better plan and execute reorganization and implementation of these deep cuts. The Senate refused, making harsh statements about labor (New Hampshire working men and women) needing to feel the pain. But through negotiations, the House was able to reduce the cut by half.
House Democrats firmly believe that the studies have already shown that Medicaid expansion is the right choice for New Hampshire. We recognize that our communities, our families and our economy will benefit tremendously from implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Expansion has been shown to end medical-induced bankruptcies, provide essential coverage to working men and women paid less than living wages, and dramatically reduce depression. The Republican Senate started the negotiations by stating that they would not entertain a discussion of Medicaid expansion. But, after several proposals back and forth, we agreed to a compromise with a commission that will report back to the legislature in October.
In total, the budget overwhelmingly passed by the House and Senate is $10.8 billion from all sources and $2.8 billion from federal funds for the biennium. This is a modest increase over the 2012-2013 budget, an increase that goes a long way toward restoring the devastating cuts to essential services throughout the state.
In this budget, the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) was fully restored, as was the UNIQUE scholarship program. We were further able to fully fund the community college system and provide sufficient funding to the university system to freeze tuition. We protected our state's commitment to our public K-12 education system by fully funding the existing adequacy formula and raising the cap, increasing funding for 58 towns. School building aid is fully funded for existing schools.
While some Republicans have been quick to criticize her, Gov. Hassan's leadership in re-establishing the state's commitment to mental health and the developmentally disabled was critical to funding our priorities. This budget provides $24 million to address New Hampshire's strained mental health system, including funding for additional beds and community support services.
It isn't perfect; no compromise ever is. We will continue to fight for greater investment in our families, our communities and our state. We will fight to address the deteriorating state of our roads and bridges, to preserve the New Hampshire Advantage and to restore common-sense government. I'm proud to have presided over the overwhelming bipartisan passage of this budget and even prouder that we were able to keep our promises to the people of New Hampshire.
Terie Norelli is speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

STOCKTON - Collena Allen, 26, is fixing Thanksgiving dinner for as many people as possible at the residential hotel she calls home.
STOCKTON - Collena Allen, 26, is fixing Thanksgiving dinner for as many people as possible at the residential hotel she calls home.
Thirty-six-year-old Lenora Doss is going to cook a turkey, with all the trimmings, for her husband and four children.
Marion Jones, 83, for the third year in a row, is grateful for the holiday meal provided by Stockton's Emergency Food Bank. "Otherwise, I'd been sitting home with nothing."
They and more than 2,500 others can thank generous donors and an army of volunteers who spent Monday meeting the "overwhelming need" of the city's hungry and homeless.
Since 1986, the Food Bank has handed out free turkey dinners. Human drama engulfed 7 W. Scotts Ave. and the surrounding south Stockton neighborhood for six hours Monday.
The line started forming at 10 a.m. Sunday. By dawn Monday, hundreds of people were waiting.
William Ellington, a 32-year-old unemployed Stagg High School graduate, arrived at 6 a.m. He is Allen's fiance. His Thanksgiving Day job at the residential hotel occupied by those receiving general assistance is to keep them entertained while Allen prepares the food.
"I don't want anybody in my kitchen," says Allen, who moved to Stockton three years ago. "I love to cook. I'm in line because I want to make a big meal for everybody. I'm hoping to feed at least 15 or 20."
Those in line around her were using shopping carts, laundry baskets, baby strollers, wheelchairs and backpacks - anything they could - to help them carry away the donated food.
"There's nothing as rewarding as this," says first-time volunteer Katie Marsella, a 27-year-old St. Mary's High School graduate. "I've been blessed my whole life, but this town is really struggling.
"This is organized to meet the overwhelming need. The people are very thankful and grateful. They're so nice and genuine."
Marsella used Facebook to raise money for the Food Bank's big day, following the lead of family friend Sonia Langford.
"I started crying when I saw the line this morning," says Langford, who is 53 and a lifelong Stockton resident. "I eat when I want. My kids have everything they need, so I decided to reach out on Facebook. And it snowballed."
This is her second year as a volunteer.
In addition to helping raise more than $11,000 for the turkey outreach, Langford recruited a dozen of her family and friends to help out. "I am humbled that we're able to do this. "
She isn't the only one to get emotional.
Rebeca Knodt, born and raised in Lima, Peru, has been in Stockton for 25 years. She is the new executive director of the Emergency Food Bank and no stranger to helping others.
Monday was her first turkey giveaway.
"We've had amazing community support," Knodt says. "People have called and asked, 'How can I help?' and 'What do you need?' "
Knodt, 54, known for her involvement in the medical field and as 20-year board member for Su Salud, stood midmorning surveying the long line of people still waiting patiently, smiling broadly and looking forward to receiving what they cannot afford.
"I am so fortunate," Knodt says, "to be involved in helping others. It takes an army of people to accomplish this mission. It was so heartwarming, over the weekend in the pouring rain and wind and cold, to see people lined up to make contributions to RTD's Stuff the Bus."
By the end of the day, everyone who got in line received a Thanksgiving meal. "We had enough for everybody," Knodt says.

UMSL Chemist Recognized for Research Excellence
His outstanding record as a world-class researcher in the field of carbohydrate chemistry and biology has garnered Alexei Demchenko the 2013 Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Research and Creativity.
Demchenko, professor of chemistry at the University of Missouri–St. Louis and a resident of Glen Carbon, Ill., will receive a plaque and $1,000 honorarium at the Chancellor's State of the University Address on Sept. 26.
While the award is in his name, Demchenko said his research is a team effort.
"This award is a recognition to over 80 of my research trainees ranging from undergraduate students to post-doctoral fellows, who have significantly contributed to the overall success of my laboratory 'Glycoworld.' My special thanks go to my outstanding doctoral students and collaborators for their dedication, productivity and support."
Since he joined the UMSL faculty in 2001, Demchenko has established himself as one of the university's most prolific grant and publication writers, bringing in well over $3 million in grant funding, to date. He has filed two patents, and has more than 120 publications – 100 during his time at UMSL.
"Not only does Alexei have a highly productive and internationally recognized research program, he is energetic, a popular teacher, well regarded by his peers and committed to excellent service to the university and to his profession," said Christopher Spilling, professor of chemistry and chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UMSL.

He returned to court on Wednesday to plead his case.
The judge already ruled James Davis must have his wife buried elsewhere, but Wednesday his attorneys argued before the court reasons why the judge should change her decision.
"It eats you up inside, and it's eaten me up inside, but I'm going to keep doing it. I won't give up. I won't give up," said Davis.
When Davis laid his wife, Patsy, to rest in front of their Broad Street home in downtown Stevenson three years ago, he never dreamed she wouldn't be able to rest because of legal battles over where she was buried.
The city of Stevenson sued Davis and in May, a judge ordered her remains be removed.
On Wednesday, Davis and his attorney were back in court arguing Davis' family plot isn't subject to rules like cemeteries and that Stevenson has no grounds.
"The state statute says that the state has delegated authority to regulate cemeteries to the cities and the city of Stevenson has chosen, for whatever reason, not to regulate cemeteries," said Timothy Pittman, Davis' attorney.
Attorneys for the city argued the city did have authority and the court was correct in its previous ruling.
Davis is left to hope the judge sees things his way.
"The law that we've got is clear. It's clear as a bell. Everybody can see it," he said.
But if the court doesn't see it his way, a new deadline may be set for Pasty to be removed.
"Nobody's coming in my yard and taking, digging up my wife. It ain't gonna happen. That's my part of the United States and I'll defend it. I will," said Davis.
The judge said she would take the case under advisement and rule later.
Davis said if he loses, he plans to appeal to the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals.

Exclusive Shore Event: Skagway | White Pass Rail & Yukon Route by Exclusive Train Car
White Pass and Yukon Route. The railroad of dreams. Constructed for the gold rush and spanning 117 years, this line has carried passengers through time to experience nature and history in an environment of challenge and beauty. Relax in your exclusive train car as you step back in time to learn about the colorful characters, engineering marvels, and the immense challenges of the thousands who dared to face the golden north; all the while being immersed in the natural wonder of the "Scenic Railway of the World".
A private car awaits you at the pier and a private host will greet you with a beverage as you take your seat. As the trip begins we travel north, the train pulling out of Skagway, passing the train shops where you can witness the mighty rail fleet including 80 passenger cars, 20 diesel electric engines and our two vintage steam engines. Keep an eye out for busy train crews that may be readying a steam engine for the next day's excursion. Just past the train shops, you will catch a glimpse of the Gold Rush Cemetery where Skagway legends have found rest.
As you ascend to White Pass, an offering of fresh baked goods and regional appetizers along with a full beverage service are available as your host regales you with the history of the Klondike Gold Rush, pointing out the scenic highlights along the way. As the train continues to climb, you will travel through a narrow portion of track named Rocky Point.
As the views unfold, there will be cascading waterfalls, wide spanning train trestles, and perhaps a fellow train on the tracks from above or below. Soon you will approach Tunnel Mountain, as we pass through our first of two tunnels, climbing to reach Inspiration Point, your second chance to view down the valley to the deep water port of Skagway. Watch for the steel cantilever bridge to coming into view. Built in 1901, it was the tallest structure of its kind in the world. A second, longer tunnel will be traveled through just prior to approaching White Pass, elevation 2,888 feet, the turnaround point in the excursion.
Following the repositioning of engines from the north to the south of the train, it will be time to start the trip down the mountain. Your train host will make sure that you are comfortable and be available to answer any questions. Sit back and enjoy the plush surroundings as you hear stories of the challenges overcome and the triumphs it took to cut the railroad out of solid granite cliffs. Living the history of this storied line, you will witness the harsh environment that was overcome and know that through the reinventions of this railroad from stampede train to freight hauler to world famous excursion line.
Approximate Length: Three hours, 15 minutes.
Suggested Attire/Walking Notes: Casual attire and light walking. Please note there are 5-6 steep steps to get onto the train.
PLEASE NOTE: All Virtuoso events ashore are capacity controlled and require a minimum number of participants to operate. Events are subject to change without notice. These events are individually tailored for each date and arrival. Your event could be different than what is noted here; but it will be designed to be memorable and to bring you a traveler's view that you will treasure, and would otherwise miss entirely. Final details will be outlined in program letters provided by your Virtuoso host aboard ship.

Katrina - Church Rebuilds
BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — A Methodist church that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina nearly seven years ago will soon have a new sanctuary and fellowship hall.
The Sun Herald reports that Leggett Memorial United Methodist Church in Biloxi, Miss., held a groundbreaking over the weekend.
The church lost three-quarters of its buildings in 2005 when Katrina struck. Since the storm, the congregation has worshipped in the Sunday School rooms and education building.
The Rev. Rachel Benefield-Pfaff says her congregation may be able to move into the new sanctuary in about six months.

WORCESTER, Mass. - The No. 5 Yale men's lightweight crew team had an eventful day of rowing at the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges Sprints, in Worcester, Mass. The first varsity eight came in fifth place, behind No. 1 Princeton, No. 2 Harvard, No. 4 Georgetown and No. 3 Navy, narrowly defeating defending champion No. 6 Cornell. Since the Eastern Sprints serve as the de facto Ivy League Championship, the Bulldogs' finish puts them in third place among Ivy League crews.
The varsity boat of junior Stephen Dobeck (coxswain), sophomore Carl Nunziato (stroke), senior Mikkel Krenchel (seven), sophomore Andrew Hakanson (six), sophomore Colin Corcoran (five), senior Daniel Ensslen (four), senior Philip Lang (three), junior Noah McColl (two), junior Brendan McCook (bow) recorded a time of 5:50.000, 8.57 seconds behind first-place Princeton.
Meanwhile, the second varsity eight boat was able to take home the gold medal in the junior varsity race, defeating the second place finisher, Navy, by a margin of almost four seconds. The boat was comprised of sophomore Erin Anderson (coxswain), senior Simon Goldman (stroke), junior John Grunyk (seven), junior Adam Lukasiewicz (six), junior Michael Jonas (five), junior Jeremy Hopkins (four), senior Andrew Kaiser (three), senior James Johnson (two), and sophomore Samuel Cooley (bow).
The first freshman eight boat came in third place in a close race, losing to Cornell and Harvard. The freshman eight boat only lost to two crews all year, and had actually beaten Harvard earlier, before losing to them today. The third varsity boat, after having gone undefeated all season, raced hard, but lost to Harvard by a margin of over three seconds. They came in third place, losing the silver to Cornell by just .04 seconds. Finally, the second freshman eight boat placed fifth and the lightweight four boat took second place.
Head Coach Andy Card said he was proud of all the Bulldog crews for their performances today. He added, "I was especially proud of the junior varsity boat's performance. The JV crew dominated the sprints by open water. They have done a great job all year, no matter what the situation, and today's performance was a remarkable achievement."
The Bulldogs also finished second for the Jope Cup in overall points, losing to Harvard by a score of 32-31.
Coach Card finished by saying, "I am proud of the varsity boat. They have some good rows under their belts, but they have gone through a period of struggle, however we aren't done yet, by any stretch."
Full results can be found here.

Skip to comments.Author Carol Byrne Warns of Socialism in the Roman Catholic Church
Posted on 01/29/2013 7:27:21 AM PST by ubipetrusest
CLIFF KINCAID: The New York Times reports that, at Cardinal Timothy Dolans recommendation, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops voted unanimously to [continue investigating the cause] of Dorothy Day, even though [s]he had an abortion as a young woman and ... flirted with joining the Communist Party.
President Obama called Dorothy Day a great reformer in American history."
Cardinal Dolan is described as conservative and has strongly criticized Obamas attacks on religious liberty and federal intrusions into church affairs. He nevertheless invited Obama to the Al Smith Dinner....
Obama received 54% of the Catholic vote in 2008 and 50% in 2012.
Carol Byrnes book ["The Catholic Worker Movement (1933-1980): A Critical Analysis"] exposes the Marxist agenda of Dorothy Day ... who made common cause with Communist-led movements during the Great Depression and the Cold War. It is relevant and important not only because of the Dolan-led campaign ... to make Dorothy Day a saint but because of what the campaign says about Marxist influence in the church, even among conservative Bishops.
CAROL BYRNE: [After becoming Catholic,] Day became a member of several Socialist organizations and was actively involved in political groups (including trade unions) whose founders and leaders where predominantly Communist Party members... This must be considered against the background of successive Popes who condemned Communism as intrinsically evil: they forbade Catholics from supporting Communists, and in July 1949 Pope Pius XII issued a decree of excommunication against anyone who collaborated with Communists or joined their associations....
My book [documents] that Day supported the policies of hostile foreign powers operating from Moscow, Havana, Peking and Hanoi against her own country.... She also wrote favorably about such Socialist dictators as Lenin, Castro, Mao and Ho Chi Minh, even though they had all violently persecuted the Church in their respective countries.

There is a strong segment of the church that believes so strongly in "social justice" that it willingly votes for marxists who give us gay "marriage," abortion, and birth-control.
Archbishop Charles Chaput does well on this subject in his 2008 book, "Render Unto Caeser".
I have less of a problem with her past abortion since plenty of women have realized the horror of their actions & later repented. What I do have a problem with is her ongoing encouragement of communism without later renouncing that as evil. That is the problem.
What's that, you say? Socialism in the Catholic Church? Whodathunkit!
Well here's something the Pope and Obama agree on:
OBAMA SECRETLY PLEDGES TO DIVIDE JERUSALEM. Will press Israel into new so-called land-for-peace
America Undecided: Catholic, Independent and Social Justice Perspectives on Election 2012
"Before he was a devoted husband and father, or a U.S. Senator, or a presidential candidate of historic accomplishments, Barack Obama took a job working as a community organizer for a group of eight Catholic parishes in one of the nations largest cities. With funding from the U.S. Bishops and working for three years out of an office in a Catholic church rectory, he embarked on a campaign to empower the lives of thousands of people who were suffering through economic circumstances not unlike what has befallen our country today. "
Kerry is Skull and Bones......and Catholic
It was discovered in 2003 by Felix Gundacker, a genealogist[7] working with The Boston Globe, that Kerrys paternal grandparents, who had been born Fritz Kohn and Ida Löwe in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, changed their names to Frederick and Ida Kerry in 1900 and converted from Judaism to Roman Catholicism in 1901[8][9] or 1902.[10]
A Roman Catholic, Kerry was said to carry a rosary, a prayer book, and a St. Christopher medal (the patron saint of travelers) when he campaigned. However, while Kerry is personally against abortion, he supports a womans legal right to have one, which puts him at odds with the Catholic Church. Discussing his faith, Kerry said, I thought of being a priest. I was very religious while at school in Switzerland. I was an altar boy and prayed all the time. I was very centered around the Mass and the church. He also said that the Letters of Paul moved him the most, stating that they taught him to not feel sorry for myself.[22]
In an interview with Christianity Today, Kerry said of his faith: Im a Catholic and I practice, but at the same time I have an open-mindedness to many other expressions of spirituality that come through different religions. ... Ive spent some time reading and thinking about [religion] and trying to study it, and Ive arrived at not so much a sense of the differences, but a sense of the similarities in so many ways. He said that he believed that the Torah, the Quran, and the Bible all share a fundamental story which connects with readers.[23]
Sounds ecumenical. Sorta like JPII and Benedict XVI.
Dont worry! Chuck Hagel is an Episcopalian, not Catholic
"Hagel is Catholic, succeeding Leon Panetta, a Catholic, while his National Security Adviser is Tom Donilon, a Catholic (and brother to Terry Donilon, Boston Cardinal Sean OMalleys spokesman). Not to mention that veep Joe Last Man in the Room with the President Biden is Catholic as is the incoming secretary of State, John Kerry."
"Oh, and Obamas counterterrorism chief, John Brennan, was nominated to head the CIA the same day as Hagel. (And the rest of the governmnet is looking quite RC, which must unnerve the Catholic bishops, who keep telling us Obama is persecuting the Church.)"
" He married, divorced, and remarried, this time to Lilibet Ziller of Meridian, Mississippi, a congressional aide whom hed met while working in Washington. He was prairie Catholic. She was Southern Baptist. As a compromise, they and their two teenage children, Allyn and Ziller, go to an Episcopal church."
And this widely-cited 2006 New York Times Magazine profile says of Hagel:
"A regular churchgoer, an Episcopalian who sends his two children to Catholic school, he thinks religion is a private matter."
"Peace and Security" coming up for Israel.
Carol Byrne is such a tradi-wack (that's orthodox speak for 'wacky tradtionalist') that she even opposes Distributism - which many Catholics cherish. In other words, she's something of a nut: http://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/j036ht_CritiqueDist.html
You seem in a great hurry to defame Byrne's book, which you admit you have not read. Unlike the noteless William D. Miller 1982 biography "Dorothy Day" and Jim Forest's similarly undocumented biographies of Day, Byrne's work does provide citations in the "Endnotes" as well as in her expanded "Complete Supplementary Notes on "The Catholic Worker Movement (1933:1980): A Critical Analysis," available at "Dorothy Day Another Way," http://dorothydayworker.blogspot.com/2012/06/not-to-be-missed-complete-supplementary.html
As for "diverging from the Pope and the Catholic Church," Day did so with her pacifism in World War II, her misinterpretation of the Mystical Body as including everyone "because there is no time with God," and faulty exegesis and misquotes of Scripture and papal encyclicals.
Both Day and Maurin stated that the aim of the Catholic Worker is "to make the rich poor and the poor holy." Funny, but in over 50 years of reading Scripture, I never been able to find that.
Carol Byrne is such a tradi-wack (thats orthodox speak for wacky tradtionalist) that she even opposes Distributism - which many Catholics cherish. In other words, shes something of a nut:
Did see you this is a new poster. Like a couple of days old. Yet decides to post this topic first time out of the gate. HHHmmmmmmm.......
Well, you seem to be a person of few words, substituting personal attacks for argument. Thank you for posting the link to Dr. Byrne's comments on distributism. Sadly, Catholic distributists too often are unaware or overlook the fact that Day never gave up her Marxist views on property (Byrne, "The Catholic Worker Movement (1933-1980): A Critical Analysis," 2010, pp. 188-203).
A few months after Pius XII's "Decree Against Communism," Day called herself "an ex-Communist" ("Catholic Worker" [CW], November 1949). But she continued to collaborate with the Communist Party for the rest of her life. For example,she attended the the 16th Annual Communist Party Convention (conveniently held at its Greenwich Village headquarters; Day could walk there). She wrote: "certainly from any point of view, it was a privilege to be invited to attend as an observer. The Press had been excluded" (CW, March 1957).
Day believed in "private" property, with the provision that its possession be regulated by those who did not own it; and she favored "communes," praising those in Communist China. In the July/August 1969 CW, she wrote: "'The more property becomes common—the more it becomes holy.'... But to do away with private property is a mortal sin in our system.... Fortunately, the Papal States were wrested from the Church in the last century, but there is still the problem of investment of papal funds. It is always a cheering thought to me that if we have good will and are still unable to find remedies for the economic abuses of our time, in our family, our parish, and the mighty church as a whole, God will take matters in hand and do the job for us. When I saw the Garibaldi mountains in British Columbia . . . I said a prayer for his soul and blessed him for being the instrument of so mighty a work of God." In the October/November 1979 CW she expanded: "[Peter Maurin] told us of Proudhon, who wrote 'A Philosophy of Poverty,' to which Marx answered with his 'Poverty of Philosophy,' and Proudhon's own answer, 'Property is Theft.' It was Peter's criticism of present day capitalism. He quoted Eric Gill, 'Property is proper to man,' and, in combating the machine, he spoke of tools as extensions of the hand, and the necessity of people to have the responsibility of ownership of their tools, of their means of producing."
Too true, and they indulge in name calling to discourage examination of the issues in the light of the Faith.
She opposes distributism? Horrors! Call out the inquisition! And pray to St. Charles E. Coughlin to shield us from Jewish usury!
Oh well . . . it could be worse. She could have been one of those monsters who interpret Genesis 1-ll literally. /s
Frankly, I didnt read a word you wrote.
And I never invited any conversation or debate with you.
My first reply in this thread is addressed to no one, purposefully!
All my comments are toward your author and my rejection of anything outside of the Catholic Church —Traditionalist.
My mind is beyond being open towards many things in life
especially liberal/progressive Catholicism and Traditionalist Catholicism and their points of view on everything or anything. Progressive and Traditionalist Catholics are alike since they both interpret the documents of Vat II the same erroneous secularizing way. One to their advantage, the other also in error, and in arrogance deny the authority of the council and even the Pope(s).
'Trojan Horse in the City of God: The Catholic Crisis Explained" by Dietrich von Hildebrand 1967( a virtual shoe-in for 'Doctor of the Church' BTW)
You seem to be new here, but if your going to follow the same pattern of other Rad Trads, and reply and argue to everyone, and copy and paste volumnious works into every reply. Then be aware, your going to wear thin and appear indistinguishable from every other rad trad that comes on here with an agenda.....copy/pasting large amts. of material and arguing with everyone.
Yes, that is THE problem, and the advocates of Day's cause, from Cardinal O'Connor to Cardinal Dolan, have from the beginning denied that her involvement and commitment to Marxism continued after her conversion. In a front-page article in the May 1951 "Catholic Worker" wrote of Marx, Lenin, and Mao Tse-Tung: "These men were animated by the love of brother and this we must believe though their ends meant the seizure of power, and the building of mighty armies, the compulsion of concentration camps, the forced labor and torture and killing of tens of thousands, even millions."
Let us pray that God will protect us from such "love" and let us pray for the millions killed or starved to death by the Communists—chillingly documented in "The Black Book of Communism," by Stephane Courtois et al. (1999).

Protecting rural character, financial management keys for Mettawa mayor hopefuls
With Mayor Jess Ray not seeking re-election, the campaign for the top spot in tiny Mettawa features two candidates who differ in the level of community experience but agree on several points involving village business.
Village Trustee Jeffrey Clark, who served on the plan commission for about 10 years before being elected in 2011 to a four-year term on the village board faces Casey Urlacher, who has no experience in politics and is making his first run for elected office.
Clark has lived in Mettawa since 1991. He is retired from the construction industry publishing field and for several years has been director of the Waukegan Regional Airshow. He also serves as public safety commissioner and manages the administrative functions of village security.
Urlacher played arena football for three years until 2006. He said he bought a house in the village in 2004 and works in construction.
The following information was gathered from candidate responses to a Daily Herald questionnaire and from interviews. Clark was interviewed in person and Urlacher by phone.
Urlacher, the brother of Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, said he is running because he thought Clark would be unopposed and wanted to give voters a choice. He said he admires Ray, who asked him "in a roundabout way" to seek the office.
He said transparency would be the cornerstone of his administration, and he was committed to keeping residents fully informed and seeking their input.
"My whole life has been a collaborative effort of being a team player," he said.
Clark, who would keep his seat on the board if he lost the mayor's race, said he is running because there is a need to be filled. He said his top priorities are to have an open, team-based approach to management of village business.
"Jess (Ray) is not one that has embraced a team atmosphere on the village board," according to Clark.
While village finances are "very sound," providing better financial management is another goal, said Clark, who advocates a "refreshed look at our finances."
Urlacher said the village is on "very sound financial footing" and he would focus on living within the means of what taxpayers provide.
"What's important to me is what a mayor can do to hold the line," he said.
Both agreed the mayor should not be a paid position and advocated the possibility of a village manager. Mettawa had a contracted administrator for about a year until August 2011.
"I would like to bring that back into play. We can have consultants, we can have independent contractors, we can have part-time employees that have terrific value," Clark said.
"Hiring a village manager would be good," Urlacher said, adding there are experienced, retiring managers who would like to work a few hours a week.
Both also favor the village having a municipal facility.
"I am for a village hall," Urlacher said. "I think we have the means to do it. What they call us is a paper village."
Clark was a proponent of an unsuccessful idea to convert the former Korhumel home to a village hall.
"We need a home," he said.
Both said they were committed to protecting open space and preserving the village's rural character by buying property if necessary.
Costco, which opened a few years ago, divided the community but has provided substantial revenue. Neither Clark or Urlacher favored further retail development.

Dispatches defeats High Court injunction attempt by Viagogo
*Any use of information in this release must credit "Channel 4's Dispatches"*
Channel 4 Dispatches programme has defeated an injunction in the High Court today (Wed 22 Feb) and can now reveal an important public interest investigation into how real fans are paying the price for hidden practices used by live event promoters and a major 'fan-to-fan ticket exchange'.
Dispatches, which will air on Channel 4 on Thursday 23 February at 9PM, went undercover inside one of the UK's biggest ticket reselling websites - viagogo - and found that major promoters allocate hundreds or even thousands of tickets to be sold through their website at well above the face value.
Tickets for recent gigs and tours by Coldplay, Rihanna, Westlife, Take That, and the V Festival have been allocated by the promoters in this way.
The application for an injunction was brought by viagogo on the grounds of 'breach of confidence' and it was dismissed on all counts at the High Court today.
A Channel 4 spokesperson says: "We are pleased that we can now broadcast in full a programme of important public interest. It is disappointing that having provided viagogo with a fair opportunity to respond to the allegations uncovered by our investigation several weeks ago, they chose instead to seek an injunction which would have effectively stopped the broadcast of our programme."
viagogo say they are websites where "real fans" can resell tickets they can no longer use.
However, 'The Great Ticket Scandal: Dispatches' which airs Thu 23 Feb at 9pm on Channel 4 reveals that:
- The majority of tickets offered for sale through viagogo are not from individual fans but from large scale professional ticket resellers or tickets allocated by promoters to viagogo.
- viagogo staff compete directly with real fans to buy tickets from primary ticket sellers, like Ticketmaster, for in demand events as soon as they go on sale. To get around systems put in place to prevent bulk buying of tickets, viagogo staff use multiple credit cards registered to different addresses.
- viagogo has a special team dealing with large scale professional ticket resellers - known as "power sellers", or "brokers" who account for a significant percentage of overall ticket sales on their exchange.
- Large-scale ticket reselling has spread beyond the traditional rock and pop gigs. Dispatches found tickets offered for resale way above face value on 'fan to fan' exchanges for England's 6 Nations rugby games; Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor live tours; West End shows; National Gallery's Leonardo da Vinci exhibition; and even The Last Night of the Proms.
- Secondary websites like viagogo have obligations to be honest to the public under consumer legislation and a leading expert says that some viagogo practices contravene legislation.
Many fans are infuriated by the reselling of tickets at inflated prices on "secondary ticket websites" minutes after gigs have sold out.
To find why, Dispatches went undercover inside one of the UK's biggest ticket reselling websites - viagogo.
viagogo says it's Europe's largest ticket exchange, selling tens of million pounds worth of tickets a year. Over a hundred employees work in its London offices
viagogo staff reveals that many tickets on sale on viagogo are not coming from other fans, but allocated directly from the major live events promoters. Staff were repeatedly told that this information should not be passed on when dealing with the public.
"We have allocations for example, for very big events, Rihanna, Westlife, Take That, we are getting allocations from the promoter, so we are allowed to sell them on our website, with our internal accounts, so on these ones, the seller is basically us", the viagogo Manager says.
"I mean it is really important that we never communicate to anyone that these accounts exist and that we do have tickets, because that is something internal that they are not supposed to know, and as far as we are concerned we are a ticket exchange and we don't own any tickets."
This isn't how the public have been lead to believe by the industry that the ticket system works. Promoters for a big tour distribute tickets through what are known as allocations to so-called "primary" ticket agents, like Ticketmaster, to be sold at face value.
Dispatches has discovered that at least 29,000 tickets were allocated to viagogo for the 2011 Take That tour - promoted by SJM Concerts
4,500 tickets for the 2011 V Festival - promoted by SJM Concerts, Metropolis Music and MCD
Dispatches has also seen a document that shows that viagogo has been allocated nearly 50,000 tickets, for 50 well known acts, music events, sporting occasions mostly for 2012 including:
- 9,000 tickets for Coldplay's up coming Stadium tour - promoted by SJM Concerts, and Metropolis Music.
- Over 3,000 for Westlife's 2012 tour - promoted by Live Nation
- 2,200 tickets for Rihanna's UK tour - promoted Live Nation
- 800 tickets for the live show of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing - promoted by Phil McIntyre Entertainment and Stage Entertainment UK
- 800 tickets for the live tour of the X Factor - promoted by 3A Entertainment
There is no indication that any of the artists involved were aware of these allocations.
Phil Mcintyre Entertainments and Stage Entertainment UK confirmed that they had given an allocation for the Strictly Come Dancing tour to viagogo. They said that viagogo "came well recommended by other promoters in the industry and were selected in good faith."
Managers setting the prices of tickets
viagogo claim that the prices on their website are not determined by them, but by the seller, but a manager says it's viagogo managers who are setting the prices for thousands of tickets.
"On the on-sale we just mark-up [tickets] to a ridiculous extent because people panic on the on-sale, things are sold out immediately, so they are like, just buy, buy......
So whenever they come through as sales, I get the emails, so that I know that if they are selling well, so raise the prices".
When asked if the artists and the venues know about these practices, the manager says: "No, well certainly like, I would say maybe 50% of the venues know about it but then a lot of the time we have to keep it secret and not tell them because it is really f***ing shady, we are making a lot more money than we ever should on this."
Right to Replies
We approached viagogo for their response to our findings
They told us: "viagogo exists to provide a safe, secure marketplace for the buying and selling of live event tickets. viagogo is an open marketplace, and while the majority of sellers are individuals we do not disallow larger sellers, including event organisers, from selling on our platform. Above all we provide a guarantee that buyers will get the tickets they have paid for which has helped dramatically reduce ticket fraud and scams in the UK."
Live Nation, SJM Concerts, Metropolis Music, MCD and 3A Entertainment are members of the Concert Promoters Association
The Association told us it was concerned about the fraudulent listing of non-existent tickets online. It said that promoters putting tickets onto the secondary market brought prices down while ensuring that some of the tickets in that market were genuine.
It said: "in this respect the secondary market is effectively being used as a premium price primary market for those fans who wish to use it for convenience"
It said those fans would: " be happier that the premium went to the artist via the promoter rather than went to a tout"

Samsung expects to deliver an ARM10™ core family-based device running at 800MHz in the second half of 2002 and an ARM10 core family-based device running at a minimum of 1GHz in early 2003. It also expects to introduce an ARM SecurCore™ ™ core-based smart card product in mid-2003.
" Samsung has already achieved considerable success with products based on the ARM architecture and we see ARM technology as one of the most established, technically advanced building blocks for future digital electronics," said Dr. Hyung-Lae Roh, executive vice president of SoC development in System LSI division, Samsung Electronics. "We aim to focus our efforts on mobile and digital multimedia product development in areas such as PDAs, smartphones, 2.5G/3G handsets and networking. Integrating the ARM technology into our product portfolio will accelerate the introduction of Samsung solutions into the highly-demanding and unique market of next-generation electronic products. We are looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with ARM "

An interview with Todd Jones vice president of Paragon Marketing.
For a complete list of FE&S' Future Foodservice Leaders see The Future Is Now.
Name: Todd Jones
Company: Paragon Marketing
Title: Vice President
Age: 38
Years in foodservice: 11
Educational background: Bachelor of Arts from Central College
What's the most important lesson you have learned?
If someone (even of significant authority) gives you a measurement, tells you there is a loading dock out back, gives you a voltage requirement, etc.... always verify it yourself.
What's the best career advice you have been given?
Be nice to everybody you meet. The guy in the corner making sauces today may be a hotshot executive chef in a few years.
What makes you want to stay in the industry?
There are a lot of baby boomers in the industry at all levels: manufacturing, dealerships, and manufacturer's reps. I think there are significant opportunities throughout the industry for young people in the next 5 to 10 years. Besides, everybody eats!
What attracted you to the industry?
I love food, people, and the variety of being a multi-line rep. Each time I think I have seen it all, something pops up that reminds me that I have not.
What has been your proudest accomplishment?
Shortly after NRA show this year I followed up with an area hospital on a lead generated at the show. On the phone they told me they had already narrowed it down to Rational and Alto-Shaam and that they were not interested in hearing about Eloma Combis; they had just stopped by their booth early in the show and were no longer interested. I pressed on for a meeting. In July, we secured an order for $120K of Eloma combis with the hospital!
What excites you most about the foodservice industry?
I love that we are seeing new technologies emerging that are helping prepare foods quicker, more consistently, and, in most cases, reallocating labor in the process.
If you could improve one thing about the industry, what would it be?
I would like to see buying groups dissolve. Philosophically they are a great idea, but when dealers routinely make more on the backend than the front things are imbalanced. Besides, as a rep I would prefer more of a Wild West arena where the best man wins — not the one with the best buying group alliances!

text: This week we have a stunning lady with long legs for you. The moment Ronny dropped by with Sophia Fiore, the initial thing we noticed was her remarkable physique and round butt. We all rapidly made praise to her ridiculous booty. Certainly she was a health and fitness nut that worked out vigorously and also enjoyed her pleasures. Immediately after she found a prick in front of her, we all found out exactly how vigorously she exercised with her twat.

Good fun -- more fun than in the original -- punctuated by some lines of admirable awfulness.
An improvement of sorts over the lifeless 2005 edition.
Doesn't quite live up to the billing, but it improves mightily on the original. And the superhero family can thank its new addition for the upgrade.
See all Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 9+
Much better than the first; OK for tweens and up.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this sequel to Fantastic Four is tamer than the original and much more tween-friendly. Like most superhero flicks, it includes loud, cartoonish violence -- but only two characters get seriously hurt or die. Most scenes involve crowds panicking as the Silver Surfer creates huge craters around the world. Unlike other conflicted superheroes, the Fantastic Four enjoy being of service, and everyone knows their true identities. There's some iffy language ("ass," "crap," "damn," etc.) and more innuendo than you might expect (characters talk about getting "hot," Johnny asks The Thing how he and his girlfriend "you know," and so on), but overall it's lighter and less complicated than similar comic book-based action films.
Messages: The four decide to stick together for the greater good; Johnny realizes he can be selfish and learns to be a team player; a rival redeems himself through self sacrifice.
Violence: Lots of explosions and crowds of people in jeopardy; the foursome, Johnny in particular, fight the Silver Surfer and Victor Von Doom. Someone is speared and temporarily dies. Another character is killed, but there's no blood.
Sex: Several moments of spoken innuendo: Johnny asks The Thing how he and his girlfriend "you know;" Reed thinks scantily clad women at his bachelor party are "exotic dancers," but Johnny says they're just "hot." Johnny's girlfriend says being with him requires "fireproof lingerie" and "lots of aloe." Sue and Reed kiss on several occasions, and she tells him "I'm so hot for you right now." Johnny comes out of the shower in just a towel.
Language: Several uses of words/terms like "ass," "pissing me off," "crap," "what the hell," "freak," "screw-up," "damn," etc.
Consumerism: Crunch, Keebler, Gillette, Fox News, Circuit City, E! News, Daily News, Dolce & Gabbana.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Club-goers drink beer; Ben drinks from oversized glasses; someone mentions Jell-O shots.

Prisoner 'Realignment:' Reducing Recidivism or Public Safety Nightmare? In the process called "realignment," some 33,000 inmates are being released from overcrowded state prisons by order of the US Supreme Court, with LA County Probation and the Sheriff's Department getting the lion's share. County Supervisors say they're not ready, and District Attorney Steve Cooley has predicted a rise in crime.

Why is Trump so behind on filling staff jobs, establishing concrete policies? Yesterday Donald Trump signed a "decision memo" to revamp the air traffic control system. But there was little legislative detail in the plan. There's not much to other splashy announcements from the White House, including tax cuts and the arms deal with Saudi Arabia. And hundreds of positions are unfilled in federal agencies.
How do Trump supporters feel about the Paris Accord? Globally and around the U.S., there are strong opinions whether or not the Paris Climate Accord is a good idea. The American exit is either a horrifying abdication of American leadership or a forceful and long overdue statement about U.S. sovereignty.

In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."

STOCKTON — Community Response Team members and officers from the San Joaquin Countywide Multi-Agency Gang Task Force went to Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard and Stanislaus Street at 5 p.m. Sunday on reports of a man with a gun. They reported finding two men who were passing a loaded handgun back and forth and arrested Javier Corona, 22, and Oscar Castaneda, also 22, without incident on suspicion of weapons charges.
The team also responded to a nearby car burglary attempt two hours later. About 7:10 p.m. Sunday, they received a call from a camera room operator who reported a potential auto theft in progress at Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard and Hunter Street. Officers said one person was carrying a loaded concealed handgun. They arrested Martin Castaneira, 31, on suspicion of weapons possession.
STOCKTON — Stockton police officers arrested a man suspected in a drive-by shooting Sunday night on Bianchi Road.
California Highway Patrol officers responded to a call on the incident about 10:10 p.m. They found a blue van that matched the suspect vehicle's description in the area of Bianchi Road and Townehome Drive.
Officers said they saw the driver of the van run a stop sign and throw an object out the driver's side window. They said they detained 38-year-old Ho Tran in a traffic stop.
The object that was thrown to the ground was recovered and determined to be a silver, five-shot, .22-caliber handgun, officials said.
Stockton police were called to take over the investigation and arrested Tran on suspicion of felony weapons charges.
SAN ANDREAS — An Arnold man who had major injuries from a motorcycle accident Saturday was arrested on suspicion of driving drunk.
California Highway Patrol officers responded at 8:50 p.m. to Highway 4 east of Utica Powerhouse Road.
CHP reports say the motorist was riding east on the highway at extremely high speeds when he failed to turn correctly at a curve in the road.
The man crossed over to the westbound lane and struck a rock embankment, authorities said, and was ejected from his motorcycle.
Tyrus Kasravi, 51, was airlifted to Doctors Medical Center in Modesto with major injuries. Kasravi was arrested at the hospital for driving under the influence.
STOCKTON — California Highway Patrol officers were heading south on Interstate 5 south of French Camp Road when they spotted a white Toyota with expired registration at 11:52 a.m. Monday.
Officers turned on the patrol car's red emergency lights to initiate a stop, but the vehicle continued traveling.
A high-speed pursuit ensued past Highway 120 and onto westbound Interstate 205 in Tracy. The suspect vehicle weaved in and out of lanes to evade officers, the CHP reported.
The Toyota exited the freeway at the MacArthur Drive offramp in Tracy before losing control and striking a traffic light pole, officials said. The driver and a passenger fled on foot into a dirt field.
Police caught up to them and took them into custody. Adonai Ogbe, 18, of Oakland and Raymond Coopwood Jr., 19, of Emeryville were arrested on suspicion of weapons possession and resisting arrest.

Walking into any place that can boast of having won national recognition for its pizza, it's hard to not sample some. The brick-oven pizzas are made with their signature semolina dough, fresh mozzarella cheese, and homemade sauce as a start.
But with the menu offered at Goodfella's Bayonne, which opened its doors at 1007 Broadway recently, it is just as difficult to keep from sampling the variety of other offerings.
So we sampled both.
Fortunately, Goodfella's offers several sizes of pies, including individual pies that allowed us to order two types and still have room – almost – to sample appetizers and a main dish.
The Bayonne Goodfella's is one of three restaurants under the same ownership, with the other two located on Staten Island and Little Italy in Manhattan.
In competition in Las Vegas in 2007 and 2009, the pizza won the distinction of being the World's Best, and in the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas in 2010, Goodfella's was recognized as the best pizza on the East Coast.
People's taste in pizza, of course, is very subjective, but it is hard not to argue that the pizza we sampled on this Saturday night in February was distinctive. It was unique both in its topping -- the cheese is put on first and then the tomato sauce -- and its crust, which is baked in a wood fired brick oven. Part of the secret to the pizza's success is the semolina flour used to make the crust.
A solid menu
The Bayonne Goodfella's has two sections, a front that caters to pickup and delivery, and a rear restaurant with room enough to handle several dozen sit-down guests comfortably. There's also a large TV screen for them to keep up on the latest sports or program. The guests include a range of ages from families with young kids, working men in for a quick pie and several senior citizens lingering over a meal of linguini. Each guest is greeted with a basket of warm bread, made from the same dough as the pizza crust.
The menu offers a surprisingly broad choice of dishes, from appetizers that range in price from about $5.49 for bruschetta to $13.99 for a sampler platter for two. Other selections include hot antipasto for two, baked clams, mussels, Buffalo wings, chicken fingers, stuffed mushrooms and more.
There is an equally broad choice of salads that range from $4.95 for the house salad to $11.99 for antipasto for two.
Side dishes include sautéed spinach, meatballs or sausage, garlic mashed potatoes, soups, and wraps ranging from $3.49 to $7.49. Beverages include soda, various bottled waters, and Snapple.
Goodfella's also offers a children's menu that ranges from $3.99 to $4.99.
Hero sandwiches, which range from $7.99 to $8.99, are served on Italian hero bread with a side of waffle fries.
Entrees and pizza
Dinner pasta dishes are extremely reasonable, ranging from $10.99 for spaghetti and meatballs to $14.99 for penne broccoli and sausage. Dishes included lasagna, rigatoni, baked ziti, linguini with baby claims, ravioli spinach & sausage and other choices.
Dinner entrees run from $13.99 for eggplant parmigiana to $22.99 for brick oven steak dinners. Most of the items on the entrée menu run between $14.99 to $16.99 and offer some of the classics in Italian cuisine such as veal parmigiana and chicken francese and several very attractive seafood dishes.
The pizza menu is as diverse, offering Old World Style and Traditional NYC wood fried brick oven pizzas. Old World style offers a large eight-slice pie for $13.99, a square six-slice at $11.50 and an individual four-slice pie for $6.50. With NYC style, a large pie is $11.99, square pie, $9.99;and an individual pie, $5.99. Specialty pies run $17.99, $13.50, and $8.95.
The award winning pies include the pizza alla vodka, the Sally Pie, and Smokin Goodfella's. But there are a number of other choices including Mushroom Madness, white pizza, vegetable delight, chicken parmigiana and others.
Goodfella's also a number of discount coupons on its takeout menu, which customers should look over closely for special prices.
Getting a taste
On this occasion, we sampled two appetizers – homemade mozzarella and fried ravioli, a linguini and clam entrée, and two individual pies, one regular and a vegetarian delight.
The breaded mozzarella was deep-fried, with a crispy crust giving way to melted cheese inside, lightly spiced with parsley and crushed cheese. It was done well, but not greasy, and had a rich flavor.
The fried ravioli had a similar breading but a distinctly different taste that went extremely well with the marinara red sauce.
The helpings were substantial so that four people might be well fed on what we ordered.
The linguini and clam sauce comes in red or white, but the white is more popular, and with good reason. It had remarkably rich flavor, especially the clams. They were very fresh and sweet, flavored with a touch of basil and a significant amount of garlic, but not overwhelming.
The two types of pizza we ordered were very different from each other. The traditional pizza – which in this case puts the cheese on first, then the sauce – was light and crispy with a tangy taste, especially from the sauce, which has a reach punch.
The vegetable topped pizza, although made with the same basics, is a full meal in itself, heavier due to the number and variety of vegetables, and more substantial.
The amounts in each dish made it impossible to finish everything we ordered, yet each item left its own distinct impression – favorable, yet not overdone. Most of the customers we saw on this Saturday night left carrying doggie bags.

Freedom of religion is alive and well in Oxford, which likely has some of the most diverse religious institutions of any Massachusetts town west of Boston.
There is the Sarva Dev Mandir Hindu temple at 6 Main St., where the Jehovah's Witnesses worshipped until they moved to a new Kingdom Hall at 52 Old Webster Road.
There is a church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon church, at 49 Old Webster Road, and there are 10 other Christian churches of various denominations.
In honor of the town's 300th anniversary, "A History of Churches of Oxford" booklet was compiled. All local houses of worship were invited to participate, and 10 did. The booklets will be available at the town's ecumenical service, to be held at 2 p.m. Sunday at First Congregational Church, 355 Main St.
The booklet is a way of celebrating more than "300 years of worship in Oxford," said Jean M. O'Reilly, chairman of the Oxford Historical Commission. The commission first suggested the church history book two years ago.
Protestant Huguenots have the deepest roots in town. They came to this area in 1686 and 1687 seeking religious freedom, and settled in Oxford after being driven out of France following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in 1685.
One of the first structures built in the new community was a chapel, "southeasterly from the central portion of the village on the Humphrey farm, on the road to the fort," according to George F. Daniels' "The History of the town of Oxford, Massachusetts."
The town's first minister was Daniel Bondet, who was church pastor and "missionary to the Nipmucks." Huguenot worship services were "simple yet impressive," and "followed a liturgy modeled by John Calvin."
The Huguenots left Oxford in 1704. Nine years later, an English settlement was established here, Ms. O'Reilly said. "If you wanted to settle on an English grant, you had to have a minister, a church, a grist mill and a sawmill."
The Reverend John James, an itinerant preacher, and other visiting ministers, including Jonathan Shattuck of Watertown; John McKinstry, who was the first minister in Sutton; and the Reverend Samuel Andrew "preached the gospel" to the new Oxford congregation.
On May 30, 1720, the Reverend. John Campbell, a native of Scotland, was offered an annual salary of 60 pounds, land rights and "100 pounds settlement, provided he shall be willing to live and die with us." He was ordained Jan. 31, 1721. He first celebrated Communion at what would become the First Congregational Church of Oxford on May 14, 1721.
In 1777, Jeremiah Learned, Samuel Davis, Marvin Moore and Collins Moore "petitioned the town to be exempted from ministerial taxation." Town meeting unanimously refused. The only way they could avoid paying the tax to support the church was to join a new church.
"There was no separation of church and state in those days. Agriculturalists wanted a different denomination, and brought the Universalist Church to town," Ms. O'Reilly said.
The petitioners joined with others to form the third "Independent Religious Society," the Universalist Church, in 1785 with the Reverend Adams Streeter as pastor. The first church of this denomination was in Gloucester.
The Universalists built a meeting house in 1792. It is still standing and houses Mello's Martial Arts Center at 285 Main St. Although it is no longer a church, it is said to be the oldest Universalist Church building still standing in the world.
The town's first Roman Catholic Mass was conducted July 28, 1851 by the Reverend Robert D. Woodley, a Jesuit priest, who "traveled throughout southern New England on the missionary circuit," according to the history of St. Roch Church. That parish built the town's first Catholic church in 1857 at the corner of Water and Main streets. A second St. Roch Church was dedicated nearby in 1868. The first resident pastor, the Reverend Charles Boylan, arrived in 1886.
The third and present St. Roch Church is at 334 Main St. was blessed by Bishop John J. Wright in 1956.
St. Ann's Catholic Church hosted its first Mass on Christmas 1896. The church "was dedicated as a mission church of St. Roch's Church" by Springfield Bishop Thomas D. Beaven in 1906. Father Patrick Hafey was St. Ann's first pastor. The church became independent in 1926, according to parish history.
The first Methodist church service was held by the Reverend Ira M. Bidwell in Oxford in 1830. Five years later, the Oxford Methodist Society officially formed and held regular services in local schools, and later in the Universalist Church.
A Methodist chapel was built in 1841 and used until a new church was built in 1865 between Charlton and Barton streets. That building was damaged in the Hurricane of 1938, and a new sanctuary officially opened at 465 Main St. on Palm Sunday 1962.
The First Baptist Church at 693 Main St. has roots in Auburn, then called Ward. A resident of that town, Jonah Goulding, organized the Oxford congregation with 28 members in 1837. The church still has two pewter Communion chalices, two platters and a tankard Mr. Goulding gave the church. The first pastor was the Reverend Abijah S. Lyon of Sturbridge.
Funding for construction of Grace Episcopal Church at 270 Main St. was provided by George Hodges, owner of Hodges Mill. The church was built in 1863 for his wife, Sarah Elizabeth Hodges, and consecrated Nov. 16, 1865. Mr. and Mrs. Hodges are buried behind the church.
Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church at 70 Main St. traces its history to Webster, where German immigrants came to work at Slater mills, according to church history. The first organized service was led by "Pastor Schumm" at Eagles Hall in Webster on March 18, 1890. Mill owner Samuel Slater donated a site for a church that was dedicated in Webster in 1895. The congregation built a new church in Oxford, with the first service held May 7, 1978.
Oak Hill Bible Church at 40 Sacarrappa Road traces its roots to April 17, 1850, when a group of believers formed the Second Advent Church in Worcester. Their focus was on the "imminent Second Coming of Jesus," according to the Reverend Glenn Rice, who wrote a brief history of the church. Worshippers met at various sites in Worcester and then purchased property in Oxford in 1979 and occupied the new facility the following year.
The Tabernacle of Praise Church A/G at 8 Maple Road held its first local service with the Reverend Sue Lynch in the Oxford Senior Center on Jan. 5, 1994. After seven years there, the congregation rented space in their current location in 2005. They host the Community-Go-Round free clothing store, hold weekly Bible studies at local nursing homes, have an active prison ministry, support eight foreign missionaries, and offer free hot dogs and drinks on Sunday nights at the Skate Park near the church.
Finally, CrossPoint Christian Church, the youngest in town, began as a "home-based Christian fellowship," founded by the Reverend Jeff Busby in 2000, according to church historian Albert R. Nault. The church was sponsored by Indian Creek Church of Indianapolis and by Restoration House Ministries in Manchester, N.Y.
For a time, the congregation met in a storefront space in Auburn, and then at Oxford High School before moving into the current church at 155 Leicester St. The first worship service there was held July 3, 2011.

A Visit with the Erbs: Landaff Cheese
Fellow monger, Erin, and I drove up to the Cellars at Jasper Hill before the holidays. The object of our journey: to pick up 40 wheels of Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, 20 wheels of Landaff cheese and a number of other Jasper Hill cheeses: Constant Bliss, Weybridge, Hartwell, Oma, Winnimere and Caspian. En route, we stopped to visit with the makers of Landaff cheese, Doug and Deb Erb in Landaff, New Hampshire. It was a slightly cloudy day but this made for dramatic views over hills and dales in all directions.
Arriving at the farm, we drove up to a set of red barns and parked. Getting out of the van, we stretched our legs for a moment and made our way up to a white clapboard house – an 'Open' sign hung from the porch. Inside, there was a small visitors area that contained information about the Erbs' dairy farm, Springvale Farms, their cheese, Landaff, and allowed for views into the cheese-making and packaging areas. It was there that we met Deb and Doug Erb.
Doug's parents started Springvale Farms in the 50s – Doug and Deb joined them in 1980. By 1989, they had taken full responsibility for the operation and gradually began expanding.
The Erbs have done a lot of work with their herd and today are renowned for the quality of their cattle, garnering many awards. In the course of conversation, we learned that some of the Erbs' cows had just been loaded onto a container ship for delivery to a buyer – their renown has spread far enough to require such transport!
Cheese is a recent addition to the Erbs' roster. They started Landaff Creamery and making Landaff cheese in 2008 after Doug apprenticed at Westcombe Farms in Somerset, England. There, he learned to make Caerphilly according to Chris Duckett's original recipe. The Erbs' cheese, Landaff, is modeled after that Welsh classic but has really come into its own – like Caerphilly, it is earthy and delicious but Landaff generally tends to be sweeter and, in my opinion, creamier and more lactic.
Doug and Deb generously took time from their busy day to show us around their cheese making facility and their barns. We met several of their HUGE cows – one who seemed to like licking everything in sight, including me!
The cows were free to wander in their barn and had access to something that I think needs to be introduced here at the shop – a kind of brush that you lean against and it massages and cleans you at the same time. All in all, they seemed like a very happy group of cows!
As we walked around the farm, the Erbs' passion for what they do was evident. They told us that the next thing on their agenda was to develop a Tomme Crayeuse style cheese. I was very excited to hear this because I love Tomme Crayeuse – a squidgy, mushroom-y, earthy delight! It may be a little while yet before the cheese comes to fruition. The Erbs remarked that they were now realizing how lucky they were with the Landaff recipe – pretty much hitting it out of the park from the get go. Their Tomme Crayeuse is proving to be a bit more challenging in its development. I will wait. My bet – it'll be pretty awesome.
