Herd unable to finish games
HUNTINGTON -- Virginia Tech's 29-21 triple-overtime win over Marshall on Saturday was the Hokies' 700th victory as a program.
And Marshall gift-wrapped the win and put a pretty little bow on it before serving it up as a present.
The last two weeks of Marshall football has shown one glaring observation which no one in the program can run from -- one that has been prevalent in the past as well.
Marshall is still learning what it takes to finish big games.
And it's becoming an extremely tough lesson as the Herd stares at a 2-2 record heading into its bye week.
"We just have to hold on," Marshall freshman nickelback Corey Tindal said. "Like I say, finish. That's the only thing this team is missing is a finish."
Whether the miscues in the fourth-quarter against Ohio two weeks ago when the Herd had a chance to tie or Saturday's contest when Marshall couldn't find a way to clinch the victory late, the team still hasn't found its killer instinct late.
It could easily be argued that Marshall had more talent than either Ohio last week or Virginia Tech, but at the end of each contest, the Herd was hung with a loss that it won't soon forget.
The difference?
Ohio is a team that has turned around under head coach Frank Solich and averaged nine wins a year in the last four seasons.
And no team has been more consistent nationally than Frank Beamer's Hokies, who have made a bowl in 20 straight years.
Those teams expect to win close games and they know how to finish close games out.
The Herd has not yet learned how to do so.
Saturday's three-overtime loss was not the first time it has happened to the Herd over the last two seasons, although it certainly magnified things a bit.
In looking at the 2012 season, there were six games in which the Herd struggled to finish strong.
Against Ohio, Tulsa and East Carolina -- all of which would've been signature victories for the program -- Marshall led in the fourth-quarter.
Look even deeper and the Herd also finished poorly in three of its five wins on the year in 2012.
Against Rice, the Herd led by 10 points with just 4:10 remaining and were it not for a poor decision to dive for the end zone by Taylor McHargue, Marshall likely would've lost that contest.
In the win over Memphis, Marshall led 31-7 before the Tigers got within three points with a chance to tie before the Herd held on for a 38-28 win.
It was a similar scenario against Houston when the Herd led 38-17, only to see the Cougars tie the game with 21 straight points before Justin Haig's 44-yard field goal won it with just seconds remaining.
Now, 2013 is a different season with new faces, but the same pattern has reared its head for the Herd. It is a pattern that neither Marshall coaches or players want to see.
Saturday's game featured many, many plays in which the Herd emerges victorious if it is made.
Among them are a fumbled punt snap that was run for a first down, a fourth-down pass over the middle in between two defenders of a zone, a tipped pass that goes for a touchdown, conservative play-calling that led to a blocked 40-yard field goal in the rain and lastly, a dropped pass in the end zone on a fourth-down that would have kept the Herd alive.
"I still feel like we played hard, but some things happened," Hunter said. "We have to finish those out, though. It's never acceptable to lose the game. We have to finish the game off."
If one of those plays are made, Marshall walks away from soggy Lane Stadium with a program-changing victory that erases the memories of last week's disappointing loss to Ohio.
Whether it is the execution of players or the conservative nature of coaches late in tight games, the Herd needs to use the bye week to identify what is keeping a good team from getting over the hump.
The non-conference portion of the season has now ended and the Herd will turn its attention to Conference USA where conference games are always tighter and often come down to the wire.
If the Herd has those Conference USA dreams in their sights, it is a simple concept for the next eight games.
Finish or be finished.

TORONTO (AP) - Toronto's City Council has voted to strip scandal-plagued Mayor Rob Ford of many of his powers after a heated debate where he knocked over a woman councilor.
The council voted overwhelming in a series of votes on Monday to cut his office budget by 60 percent and allow mayoral staff to join the deputy mayor. Ford now effectively has no legislative power as he would no longer chair the executive committee.
Ford retains his title and ability to represent Toronto at official functions.
Toronto has been abuzz with the Ford melodrama since May, when news outlets reported that he had been caught on video smoking crack cocaine.

Double majors lend luster to student research
Even on a campus where many students lead double lives, where engineers play in the orchestra and physics students also major in computer science, Margaret Thomas's knack for seizing opportunities stands out.
Thomas, a senior who is double majoring in international relations and Russian Studies, completed two study-abroad tours on two different continents last year.
She spent the summer of 2004 in China through the Lehigh in Shanghai faculty-led internship program. She spent last fall in Moscow on a fellowship from the American Council of Teachers of Russian, working for a financial consulting firm and taking private Russian language lessons from a tutor.
On April 27, at Lehigh's first annual Undergraduate Research Symposium, Thomas and her peers transformed Room 308 of the University Center into a crowded intellectual bazaar.
The symposium featured posters, demonstrations and presentations on 50 research projects. Visitors navigating four cramped rows of displays learned from chemistry students about anti-cancer agents and from biology students about the connection between food deprivation and sexual motivation.
They learned from a civil engineering major (Edward Regnier '05) about the challenge to Swedish identity posed by the European Union's neutrality, and from a marketing major (Adam Ressner '06) about the cipher codes that the Union Army used during America's Civil War.
Visitors stopping to talk with Jatin Gupta '06, bioengineering major and president of Lehigh's Biomedical Engineering Society, found out that 250,000 Americans die each year from congestive heart failure, and that the U.S. spends $56 billion annually to treat the disease.
Gupta, who is advised by Neal Simon, professor and chair of biological sciences, created a poster titled, "Treating Congestive Heart Failure with Vasopressin 1a Antagonists."
Across the room, Jill Harrison '05, a theatre major who hopes one day to direct professional theatre, described the challenges of directing the musical, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," which was staged in April.
Harrison managed 20 actors and 10 musicians and oversaw the construction onstage of an orchestra pit while also doing choreography and concept development.
"I think the 20 actors represented 20 different majors," Harrison said. "The whole collaborative process is a symbol of what Lehigh is trying to do in liberal arts education."
Investigating the relationship between two major countries
Stepping behind a makeshift curtain into a small anteroom, visitors listened to Margaret Thomas give a talk on the status of the relationship between the two countries she visited last year.
Four decades after military clashes along their 2,700-mile-long border threatened to turn into full-blown war, said Thomas, Russia and China are developing a relationship based on mutual interests and growing interdependence.
"Russia has so many natural resources and China has so many people," Thomas said. "Russia supports China's territorial claims to Taiwan, and China supports Russia in Chechnya. China lacks long-range nuclear capabilities, while Russia has this ability. Both oppose the nuclear missile defense system the U.S. is working on."
And both countries, Thomas added, are growing more resentful of the United States' status as sole world superpower.
In Oct. 2004, Russia and China signed a treaty settling the last outstanding disagreements over islands in the Amur and Ussuri Rivers, where a series of border clashes in 1969 took the lives of several hundred soldiers and threatened to turn into a full-blown war.
Meanwhile, Sino-Russian trade has almost tripled in recent years, from $5.7 billion in 1999 to $15.7 billion in 2003, Thomas said.
Amidst the evidence of greater cooperation, however, are worrisome signs. Russia's population is declining by .5 percent annually and has fallen to 143 million, Thomas said. The population of Siberia is dwindling even more rapidly as Russians are leaving the east and moving to Moscow and other large cities.
Hundreds of thousands of illegal Chinese immigrants, and perhaps more, have moved into Siberia to fill this vacuum, said Thomas, who titled her presentation "The Future Security Implications of Increased Chinese Migration into Russia."
Thomas was advised on her presentation by Chaim Kaufmann, associate professor of international relations, and Mary Nicholas, associate professor of Russian and director of the Russian Studies program.
Thomas began studying Russian in seventh grade when a scheduling mistake placed her in Russian class. In doing her research, she read original Russian-language source materials pertaining to the border dispute and treaties.
This summer, Thomas is doing an internship at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia.

Full detailed profile on Dr. Bob Hughes Played by Don Hastings on As the World Turns Daytime Soap Opera.
Don Hastings
Birthday: April 1 1934
The family joins around the table. Bob toasts to the family, those present and those absent. He talks about how proud he is of Casey turning his life around and tells Alison that she is very welcome to be with them. Before Bob can say grace, Casey apologizes to everyone and then declares that the biggest mistake he ever made was messing things up with Alison. He takes her hand and tells her he wants her to be with him all the time. "Will you marry me?" he asks. Her jaw drops. She doesn't know what to say so she leaves. Kim prompts him to run after her. When he does, they all laugh and Kim asks Bob if he pushed Casey into this.
Casey goes back inside. He and Tom give Margo a gift. It's a cell phone. They explain it is pre-dialed and tell her to press a button. When she does, it calls Adam. She tearfully tells him how much she loves him. Bob and Kim watch. They talk about how fast time has been going. She thinks he's been pushing himself too hard and should slow down. He agrees and hands her a gift. It's a pair of sunglasses and a brochure for a cruise to the Greek Islands. She's thrilled and they hug and kiss.
Casey and Bob have coffee at the diner. Bob encourages him to hook up with Alison again and apologizes for ruining things between them. Bob talks about how he appreciates women and used to 'get it on' in his day. He thinks that Ali and Casey have chemistry in spades. He gets a page about Damian and rushes off.
At the hospital, Meg and Lily fight over who should go in with Damian. Bob tells them both to stay out. "I'm Damian's wife. I belong here. Unlike you," Lily tells Meg. Soon, Bob comes out and tells them that Damian will be okay, but they'll have to wait for the toxicology tests to see what was wrong. He says Meg's CPR probably saved his life. Lily tells Meg she's grateful, but she wants her to stay away.
At the hospital, Luke tells Noah how sorry he is that they fought. He wishes he had more faith in them and needs him to wake up. Holden and Meg come in and Luke wishes Noah's aunt would call. Bob follows them and tells them that Noah's brain is still bleeding and there could be serious damage if they don't operate soon.
Meg follows Damian down the hall and warns him how hard this adoption would be for everyone. She asks him what will happen if the truth comes out about how he married Lily under false pretenses and brings up Officer Grady. He accuses her of trying to stop him from moving in with Lily. He thinks she is being petty. He returns to Luke and tells him the paperwork will be there soon. Bob comes back and says that the window of opportunity is closing. Damian explains that they are adopting Noah and gives their consent. Bob agrees to give the go ahead on the surgery.
Alison goes back to the hospital and asks Bob if there was any reason why he chose not to meet with Mick. He had an emergency and has no idea who Mick is. She tells him she's glad he's back on the job. He thanks her and they chat about Casey.
Bob finds Katie freaking out in Brad's hospital room. He explains that Brad was shot and the next few hours will be critical. They've repaired all the damage they can and the rest will be up to him. She knows that when a doctor says they've done all they can, there's bad news coming. Crying, she wonders if Brad even knows he has a son. Bob reminds her that she just gave birth in a less than perfect environment and needs some rest herself. She begs him not to let Brad die. Bob reluctantly leaves her alone with her husband. Katie tells him that they have a beautiful baby boy who needs him around so he can learn right from wrong. "He needs you. I need you," she cries. As she weeps on his chest, he touches her face and opens his eyes. "You're alive!" she exclaims. "I guess so," he says. He's eager to see the baby. They tell each other how brave they are and she says that his spirit was with her when she gave birth. When she tells him she lost the necklace, he tells her it's in the drawer. Finding it led him to her. She puts it back on and tells him that their son saved her life. As he's about to suggest a baby name, he flatlines.
Bob and Kim watch them through the glass. "Aren't you supposed to be recuperating yourself?" she asks him. He didn't want to miss anything. She begs him not to overdo it.
Henry runs around the hospital looking for Katie. Breathlessly, he tells Bob that Katie's gone. Bob tells him that she's with Brad and he's alive. Henry begins hugging him.

Because when the history of the health care reform effort of 2009-10 is written, Speaker Nancy Pelosi deserves chief credit for making it happen.

In the four months since he had taken over the Kristin Holzman case, Attorney Jack Schwartz has filed three motions delaying her trial.
His most recent coming Monday, December 5, 2011, in what was supposed to be a change of venue hearing.
"We filed a motion to substitute Judge Stengel for cause based on a ruling he made on a different case which is people vs. Griffin," said Schwartz.
According to court documents, Holzman says she believes Judge Casey Stengel is prejudice against her attorney, blaming unreasonable Attorney fees from a 2010 drug case.
Judge McReynolds denying the motion for a substitute judge, leaving Stengel on the case.
"We are going to look at filing a interlocutory appeal," said Schwartz.
Monday's curve ball is the third Schwartz has thrown. In October he filed a motion stating a conflict of interest with State's Attorney Terry Patton after his involvement with one of Holzman's alleged victim's, Rebuilding Together.
The judge appointing special Prosecutor Jeff Lang.
"My firm Land and Waterman and I are always receptive if a court calls and asks us to perform public service," said Lang.
In September he filed a motion requesting a change of venue citing too much media attention, pointing fingers directly at News 8.
Schwartz still hoping for a change of venue.
"We would prefer it be moved to somewhere like Rock Island, Mercer or Whiteside county," said Schwartz.
Holzman's next hearing is scheduled for Friday, December 9, 2011.

Willamette remains unbeaten at home with 70-53 win over Pacific
SALEM — Senior post Marques Johnson scored a game-high 20 points and pulled down seven rebounds Tuesday to lead Willamette to a 70-53 Northwest Conference men's basketball victory over visiting Pacific.
The win kept the Bearcats (11-3 overall, 5-1 NWC) unbeaten at home in six games, while Pacific (7-8, 4-3) saw its winning streak snapped at four games.
The two teams battled through a defensive-minded first half and the Bearcats took a 29-22 lead into intermission. But Pacific scored the first seven points of the second half to knot the score and was still within three points (40-37) following a Dan Lumpkin lay-in with 12:38 to play, before the hosts took charge. Willamette then reeled off seven straight points.
The Bearcats also got 16 points and four assists from point guard Ryan Hepp and 14 points and five assists from wing Miles Sandgathe.
Willamette shot 54.0 percent from the field for the game, compared to just 42.6 percent for Pacific.
The Boxers were led by guard Rahim Tufts, who scored 11 of his 15 points in the second half. Joe Van Domelen added 10 points for Pacific and Lumpkin chipped in with eight points and eight rebounds.
Pacific out-rebounded the Bearcats handily in the first period (21-14), but the Bearcats turned the tables in the second half, out-boarding the visitors 19-11.

Trio of bands feels resurgence in local sceneWritten by Mike Bauman | | email@example.com
When Mind Fish frontman Dean Tartaglia returned home to Toledo from Ohio University this summer to do his internship and play shows with his band, he was not anticipating much out of the local music scene.
"I had no expectations going into the summer," Tartaglia said to Toledo Free Press Star. "Even in early June I had little expectations, and now strangely enough it's August and I have a lot of expectations for Toledo in the future within the next couple years."
The seeds for those changed expectations were planted in April, when Mind Fish was on the bill at Frankie's Inner City with GOLD and The Fight Within for Tropic Bombs' first show.
"[Mind Fish] came up to Frankie's in Toledo and played a gig with us, and we ended up having Dean actually come onstage with us to promote a film we were doing," said GOLD vocalist/guitarist Zach Ruetz. "We made him wear this rabbit mask and, like, jump around with a poster of our movie. That was right after we met him."
Tartaglia and his band forged a friendship with GOLD and Tropic Bombs that night, one which has led to a productive summer in Toledo for all three groups. On Aug. 27, Mind Fish, GOLD and The Strong Talk will play a free show at the Ottawa Tavern.
Growing scene
Rather than wearing a rabbit mask, Tartaglia has since been playing saxophone with GOLD in addition to jamming with Mind Fish and his other pursuits. This summer, Tartaglia was an intern for The James Poure Consultancy, which is consulting for Creadio founder/CEO and TEDxToledo curator Will Lucas.
TED — which stands for "Technology, Entertainment, Design" — started 26 years ago in California and is a nonprofit organization dedicated to "ideas worth spreading." Tartaglia said that Lucas commented on how there is a growing arts scene in Toledo he has never seen before.
"It's just cool because it's real easy for someone within the scene to know that 'Yeah, we have a good scene' or whatever, but when you have someone completely removed noticing it, that's when you kind of get the idea that maybe something bigger is going on than you could have even expected," Tartaglia said.
Adam Sattler, who does booking, marketing and promoting for the Ottawa Tavern, said the venue's attendance keeps improving and that touring acts making stops in Toledo often comment on the positive response they get from locals.
"The other thing that I see is sort of a disappearing of a generational gap," Sattler said. "Some of these older guys that have been in the music scene for a long time — Jimmy Danger, Dave Piciutto, guys like that — come out and support the younger bands, and the younger bands go out and support these guys. I think that more than anything as far as camaraderie goes, I've noticed that in the last, say, six months or a year."
Tartaglia has noticed support on nights which typically do not draw big crowds, nights like the Tuesday he played saxophone at Manhattan's.
"It was my friend's 21st that night, and I brought my sax and was playing and it was, like, ass-packed in there by midnight on a Tuesday night," Tartaglia said. "I was absolutely shocked that's even happened on a Tuesday in Toledo."
DIY effort
Sattler said more local bands are producing and promoting their material.
"GOLD and Mind Fish, they do it right," Sattler said. "Just with this show, they didn't wait for us as the venue to create a Facebook event. They did it, and they want to self-promote. The difference between the bands that promote themselves and [the bands that] don't is one band plays to 200 people and the other plays to 50."
Tartaglia credits that promotion as a big factor in how this summer has gone for Mind Fish, GOLD and Tropic Bombs.
"It's the energy of the promotions going into the show because I've known a lot of bands that have a lot of great energy and bands that draw well over the past some-odd years," Tartaglia said. "I know GOLD and Tropic Bombs — I'm sure they'd say the same about us — just the amount of promotion that goes into it, it's hyped up. There's a lot of buzz and we all know that, but we're still real dedicated, real professional about what we're doing."
Beyond the promotion, GOLD used Garage Band to self-produce its 2010 six-song EP.
"It's a pretty simple program, but you can move really fast with it," GOLD bassist Tom Martin said. "That's not a plug for Apple, though. I'm glad we did it ourselves because of the problems with some of the early bands me, Zach and Jacob [Czerniejewski were in]. When we went into a recording studio, you're on the clock and it's not a very comfortable atmosphere, and the technology has become more affordable."
That affordability is one of the pluses Sattler highlighted for local musicians.
"In a city like Toledo, a band can get a record made for half the cost of what they can do it anywhere else, and you've got people doing it," Sattler said. "I know GOLD recorded theirs on their own. Thirty Three and 1/3 just put an album out. I know that bands aren't having to pay what they used to, and so I think Toledo's really good for that. And not to mention, we're surrounded by five great music markets that these bands can head out for a weekend and do a show in Columbus, or Cleveland or Detroit.
"Toledo's a great place for a band to start."
Irons in the fire
Mind Fish, GOLD and Tropic Bombs all have future, full-length albums in the works. While each band has its own distinctive sound, they all try to make the live shows as fun and energetic as possible.
"I think that's what the three of us bands have in common," said Ruetz, who at 24 has been playing music with Martin and Czerniejewski for eight years. "It's all really positive stuff, and I think we need that right now in these times, in the recession and everything. People want to be entertained."
Tropic Bombs vocalist Ryan Wayton echoed Ruetz's sentiments in a July interview with Toledo Free Press Star.
"We all feel this resurgence, which is what we wanted out of the music scene," Wayton said. "I feel like a lot of the people — like the fans and friends and stuff — are having a good time. A lot of them I think just embrace it because it takes them back to the old days with Promise of Tomorrow and stuff like that from what they've told me. It's great."
Tartaglia said Mind Fish plans to play in 15 different cities during the next two months with the ultimate goal being to do local spotlights on 89X. The band is aiming for a January release of its new album and will soon launch its new website — themindfish.com — as well as a Kickstarter.com project to try and produce hard copies of the new record.
"I just hope it keeps spreading exactly how it is right now, just little by little," Tartaglia said. "I don't think I can ask for anything more."
Mind Fish, GOLD and The Strong Talk will perform a free show Aug. 27 at the Ottawa Tavern, located at 1815 Adams St. in Toledo. The show starts at 10 p.m. In addition to the concert being Tartaglia's 21st birthday, Mind Fish will release two new songs off its upcoming album that show attendees can pick up for any price they choose, including for free. The band will also have new, $10 T-shirts available, while GOLD may play some new tunes as well. For more information, call (419) 725-5483, or visit http://otavern.com.

An actor must know how to act before he or she can successfully act goofy.
And if it's a musical comedy, that actor better be able to sing and, as needed, dance while acting goofy.
Fortunately for local audiences, "Monty Python's Spamalot," opening tonight on the Mattie Kelly Arts Center Mainstage, features actors who can do all three, and do it well.
I must confess a bit of prejudice before I get into the details. I've been a Monty Python fan since Dean Martin introduced some of the group's earliest sketches on his mid-1970s summer variety show.
Being a fan of the British comedy troupe also gives me a critical eye toward anyone performing their material, so I was prepared to cast aspersions at any "Spamalot" bits not done well.
But there weren't any.
It's a hoot and a howl from opening to closing curtain.
Like the Flying Circus, "Spamalot" is essentially a collection of comedy sketches, wrapped, in this case, around the legend of King Arthur and the quest for the Holy Grail.
Crestview actor Nick Trolian excels as Arthur, King of the Britains, playing the role with delightful pomposity while remaining seemingly oblivious to the lunacy surrounding him.
"Spamalot" puts considerable emphasis on The Lady of the Lake, a character missing both from some tellings of the legend as well as "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," the film that inspired the stage musical.
As The Lady, Meghan Erlacher's extraordinary pipes steal the show on numbers including "Come With Me," "The Song That Goes Like This" and "The Diva's Lament." Her voice is stunning; her comedic timing is superb.
As Arthur's faithful servant Patsy, Stephen Shouse packs a backpack full of impish, youthful enthusiasm.
Another standout is Sean Royal as Sir Lancelot, a knight with a secret. Lancelot gets to dance a lot. During "His Name is Lancelot," Royal's costume comes with — I'm making an assumption here — enviable augmentation.
As fellow knights Sir Robin, Sir Galahad and Sir Bedevere, Javonte Coleman, Donovan Black and David Simmons admirably complete Arthur's crew, each getting an opportunity to do a fun bit of his shtick.
A comedy with cruddy timing falls flatter than plague victim Not Dead Fred — a fun role well played by Sivu Schlegel, who also delighted as Prince Herbert.
To everyone's delight, NWFSC's "Spamalot" gallops along at a merry clip, barely giving the audience a chance to catch its collective breath before the next bit of tomfoolery.
As director Joe Taylor observed before the opening curtain, "The show the audience sees is actually a quarter of what's going on backstage."
You needn't have seen "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" beforehand, but it does make a good primer — or refresher.
Those who, like me, have been Pythonized will giddily catch subtle homages to several favorite Flying Circus sketches, and be pleased to be in on the jokes.
A standing ovation is due the college's Humanities, Fine and Performing Arts Division, the cast and crew for livening up our summer with sheer, enjoyable silliness.
WHAT:"Monty Python's Spamalot," Northwest Florida State College's summer musical comedy
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. July 16-19
WHERE: Mattie Kelly Performing Arts Center Mainstage
COST: $27 adults; $22 youths 18 and under
NOTES: Purchase advance tickets at the Box Office, 729-6000 or www.MattieKellyArtsCenter.org. Day-of-show tickets available at the door if available.

What causes an enlarged ovary?
An enlarged ovary may be caused by one of many types of ovarian cysts, including those that can form with polycystic ovarian syndrome. No matter the type, the cysts can grow, increasing the size of the affected ovary or of both affected ovaries. Often ovarian cysts remain dormant and do not cause symptoms. However, in some cases, the enlarged ovary may twist or become dysfunctional. Ovarian cancer and benign tumors may also lead to an enlarged ovary.
Common causes of an enlarged ovary
Common causes of an enlarged ovary include:
- Corpus luteum cyst (cyst present in the second half of the menstrual cycle)
- Dermoid cyst (benign tumor also known as a teratoma)
- Follicle cyst (cyst that forms during the menstrual cycle)
- Endometrioma (endometriosis affecting the ovary)
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (condition than can include multiple cysts in the ovaries)
Other causes of an enlarged ovary
Enlarged ovary can also be the result of other causes including:
- Congenital abnormality
- Metastatic cancer
- Nonmalignant tumor
- Ovarian cancer
Serious or life-threatening causes of anenlarged ovary
In some cases, enlarged ovary may be a symptom of a serious or life-threatening condition that should be immediately evaluated in an emergency setting. These include ovarian torsion (twisting of the ovary) that results in a compromised blood supply.
Questions for diagnosing the cause of an enlarged ovary
To diagnose your condition, your doctor or licensed health care practitioner will ask you several questions related to your enlarged ovary including:
- When did you first notice discomfort or pain?
- Do you feel any pain or discomfort now?
- Do you have any other symptoms?
- What medications are you taking?
What are the potential complications of an enlarged ovary?
Once the underlying cause is diagnosed, it is important for you to follow the treatment plan that you and your health care professional design specifically for you to reduce the risk of potential complications including:
- Infertility
- Spread of cancer
- Ovarian cysts. Medline Plus, a service of the National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ovariancysts.html.
- Ovarian cysts fact sheet. WomensHealth.gov. http://www.womenshealth.gov/publications/our-publications/fact-sheet/ovarian-cysts.html.
What is an enlarged ovary?
An enlarged ovary is an ovary that has expanded past its normal size. The cause of this enlargement is often cyst formation. Other causes include endometriosis, benign tumors and, rarely, ovarian cancer.
... Read more about enlarged ovaryintroduction
What other symptoms might occur with an enlarged ovary?
Enlarged ovary may accompany other symptoms, which vary depending on the underlying disease, disorder or condition. Symptoms that frequently affect the ovaries may also involve other body systems. In some cases, an enlarged ovary may not produce any symptoms.

UML – Design by picture
Most professional software designer use or at least know UML, the unified modelling language. By means of a formal visual language, software designer describe software systems. Having it roots around 1994 at Rational Software Corporation, UML finally became 2005 an ISO/IEC standard. Today, UML 2.x is able to describe functional, structural and dynamic system properties.
Tool chains for UML
While describing software systems during the specification or development phase of a software project, is a value by itself (customers are able to understand certain parts of UML), UML is even more useful with a well prepared tool chain. Users of Eclipse or Netbeans can easily add such a tool chain to their preferred IDE and generate code out of UML. Today, JAVA is probably best integrated with UML tool chains. But I even saw a generator for PHP.
A Flex tool chain for UML
Grant Skinner implemented gModeler, a UML diagramming tool for ECMA262 developers. While gModeler is a Flash application using FlashOS, ECMA262 is of interest for Flex developers too: This specification defines JavaScript like languages like Flex's Actionscript.
The GUI of gModel ist straight and fast. Best of all this tool exports XML, HTML Doc, ASDoc, StubCode and AS 2.0 StubCode.
Give it a try and launch gModeler now! It's nice – but probably largely unknow to the Flex community.

Nine jobs will go as Fremington army camp closes
Posted: May 29, 2009|
Army cadets at Fremington camp last year
FREMINGTON army camp will close this autumn, with the loss of nine jobs, the army said today.
Accommodation at the Second World War training camp is due to close on October 1 and the infrastructure at the site will be sold.
The camp, which had undergone a review by Defence Training Estates South West was said to be "past its sell by date" by South West Army spokesman, David Harris.
He said: "The Fremington site is worn out and has come to the end of its economic life.
"Buildings at the camp are 1940s stock — old, wooden huts that are very expensive to maintain. It's just not worth pumping any more money into."
The camp is largely seasonal, with the majority of occupation taking place in the summer months.
The site currently hosts 12 employees who work for the DTESW management partner, Landmark.
The staff are currently under consultation and, while three employees may be able to relocate to RAF St Mawgan in Cornwall, the remaining nine will lose their jobs.
Fremington councillor Rodney Cann, said: "My first reaction is that I am very upset to hear about the job losses.
"We'll be sad to lose this camp — there was always something interesting and exciting happening there.
"However, my major concern is that there is around 50 acres of development land there and there will be a lot of pressure for massive residential development — you could fit an awful lot of houses into that space.
"Fremington has already had more development for a town of its size than anywhere else in North Devon and this could have a major impact on its infrastructure — we would certainly need a new school."
Although the camp and accommodation will be sold off, troops will continue to train on Braunton Burrows using Okehampton army camp as their base.
Lt Col James Porter, commander for DTESW, added: "This relocation will enable us to reduce the number of permanent beds in the region while retaining the ability to surge bed numbers in the summer. Job losses are regrettable but the overall benefit for troops and training is a positive benefit."

ALBANY - Eleonara Shkaf is a nurse.
Her time in pediatrics exposed her to a lot of dog bite victims, but still didn't prepare her for the morning last year when her seven year old German Shepherd Ceasar viciously attacked.
"Seven o'clock in the morning and it happened," she said. "The dog just attacked me. First he got my thumb."
Eleonora suffered extensive wounds to her hands and torso.
She lost the tip of her left thumb.
After the dog was put down, it was determined he had a brain tumor that apparently altered his normally sweet disposition.
"Nationally on an annual basis, it's probably about 800-thousand people actually get bitten by dogs," said Dr. Ashit Patel, a plastic surgeon.
Doctors say about 75 per cent of dog bites occur in children, often because they're too trusting.
After the bleeding gets stopped, they say it's important to be seen by a health care professional.
"As well as be sure that your tetanus status is up to date," said Dr. Josh Pacheco, an emergency room physician. Doctors will also want to verify that the dog has been vaccinated against rabies.

All Syracuse University football fans will have two opportunities to see the 2012 Orange this spring, including Saturday, April 7 in Rochester, N.Y., and on Saturday, April 21 at the annual Spring game. Fourth-year head coach Doug Marrone and the Orange will be available to sign autographs after practice this Saturday in Rochester.
"The goal going into the Spring was to make sure we come out with a two-deep so you feel comfortable with where the players are, the next thing is becoming more physical and having a better understanding of what we are doing schematically and the third is team chemistry," Marrone said. "Going into spring practice, having made the changes that we have made in all three phases – offense, defense and special teams – I wanted to make sure we have a true understanding of it without any distractions from the outside, knowing there may be things we like and want to keep in the system and there may be some that our players aren't performing at the level we need to win and we take those out. I did not want someone to come in and give a false impression of who we are going to be to everyone on the outside. It has been a very good spring for us. I am extremely happy with the direction we are going."
The practice at Sahlen's Stadium, the home field for Rochester's professional soccer teams, begins at 11:45 a.m. and will feature an intrasquad scrimmage, contests and prizes, season ticket information, Syracuse gear and food and drink concessions. The team will host an autograph session following the practice. Admission and parking are free.
"We are trying to get this team ready," Marrone said. "This has been the best spring that we have had. I feel comfortable with the direction we are going. They players and coaches have been outstanding. We are getting better right now. That is all you can ask for as a coach."
Watch Coach Marrone's Interview on Orange All Access
The annual Spring game begins at 11:00 a.m. with the 'Select-A-Seat' program for fans to walk around the Dome to choose their location for the 2012 season from all available seating, which will be marked with special signage. The Box Office will be open and staff will be available around the Dome to assist with the selection process and answer questions. Admission and parking are free.

Coed Team
The Coed Team at Penn State has been changing over the past years and the team members agree it is only for the better. Exceptional talent has entered the program and the team expects to get even better once the new year begins. By attending Rutgers University UCA Cheerleading Camp, the team hopes to learn new stunts and build team unity. In the past, they have earned titles such as the "most collegiate team," and have won many other awards. "I am guiding the cheerleading program in a direction similar to the structure of former Head Coach Lee Giannone," said current Head Coach Curt White. Coach Giannone lead the team to greatness during the mid-late eighties. The current success of the team is proving that the system works.
This year, the Coed Team consists of 10 co-ed couples. The 10 couples must have a standing back tuck, running tumbling, toss stunts and all-around exceptional skills. To learn more about the requirements for this team, click here.
This team placed 6th in the Division 1A finals of the 2003 UCA Cheerleading Championships. The division is a difficult one, containing teams like Alabama, Tenessee and the legendary Kentucky Wildcats, but the Coed Penn State team is determined to climb each year. In 2002 they placed 11th, but finished 6th in 2003, beating some great teams including Ohio State, Hawaii and LSU. They also finished first out of the Big Ten Schools.
In addition, this team cheers football, basketball, volleyball and gymnastics, as well as many other events. They also receive a scholarship for books and the Dr. Allen Scholl Scholarship, if their GPA is above a 3.0 by the end of their freshman year.
The members of the PENN STATE CHEERLEADING TEAM are:

Creamy Mung Bean Curry
I loved your feedback to my mung bean stew last week, especially Hanna's rendition of the dish. If your comments are any indication, you may have bought mung beans a while ago but not sure what to make with them. I was like that, too. Last year, I couldn't get enough of simple spiced mung beans. Despite having the mung beans in my cupboard for 2 years or so, I discovered their awesomeness as I (attempted) to eat through my pantry. I became so enamored with them that I bought another 4 lbs when I moved to Houston. With a focus on eating through my pantry yet again, I have been experimenting with mung beans. Bring on more beans, right? :)
While this creamy mung bean curry hails from the ever fabulous Lisa, ever an Indian bean whiz should I meet one, I knew it was a winner before I even made it. Like my recent Kabocha Squash, Coconut & Lentil Soup, it includes all my favourite things: tamarind, cumin, Aleppo chili flakes, and a bit of coconut milk for a touch of creaminess for the sauce. A simple twist of adding curry leaves makes this a different dish altogether. Southern Indian-style.
Have you tried mung beans yet? How do you like to prepare them?
This is my submission to this month's Bookmarked Recipes.
PS. The winner of Superfood Smoothies is Annette.
Creamy Mung Bean Curry
Adapted from Lisa's Kitchen
1 cup dried mung beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp tamarind concentrate
3-4 cups water
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp Aleppo chili flakes
3/4 cup lite coconut milk (half a can)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes (I used cherry tomatoes)
1/2 tsp asafoetida
1/2 tsp sea salt, or to taste
10-12 fresh curry leaves
1. In a medium pot, add mung beans, turmeric, tamarind paste and water (start with 3 cups and add more if they become dry). Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes, until the beans become soft and tender.
2. After around 30 minutes, in a small frypan, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and heat until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add chili flakes (to taste) and stir for a few seconds. Deglaze with the coconut milk, and add the garlic, tomatoes, asafoetida, salt and curry leaves. Allow mixture to simmer, until slightly thickened, around 5-10 minutes.
3. When the mung beans are finished, stir in the coconut milk mixture. Simmer, uncovered, over medium heat, to allow the flavours to meld and the sauce to be absorbed, around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with brown rice or your choice of side.
Serves 4.

Well, I definitely fall into the "I have no idea what to do with all these mung beans" category! This sounds like a super-tasty reason to dig them out of the back of the freezer and have at them. :)
I haven't tried mung beans in cooking (though I love them sprouted) – and anything that tastes that good sprouted should be good cooked – should try them some time – and this curry looks like the sort of thing I would love (lisa is indeed a spice queen)
Thanks for your kind words Janet. I'm delighted you tried this dish. There are plenty more archived on my blog that you would likely enjoy. Mung beans have long been a favorite of mine.
Alright, I'll admit, I haven't had mung beans yet. And I don't even know why. They look pretty fun. They were even on sale last time I was at whole foods. I'll try them out. In this recipe =)
Loved this! It was yesterday's dinner and today's leftover lunch/ How did I live without curry leaves for so long? They really add a wonderful flavor. I thought this tasted very authentic and very similar to stuff I've gotten at Indian restaurants. Yum!
I've avoided mung beans for years because there were reports of contamination inherent in the seeds; even met some physicians who avoid mung bean sprouts because of salmonellae-coli. But I've never gotten sick from them and never knew anyone who got sick after eating them in salad or at Vietnamese restaurant. Cooked mung beans may be much safer. I've been doing some sprouting as well—and was disappointed that they don't grow as long/thick as the commercial ones….

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Patented Oct. 18, 1910.
cnan'rss G. rnnnnn, or OROVILLE, AND GEORGE A. MOBRILL, or OAKLAND, camronma.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Got. 18, 1910.
Application filed July 16, 1909. Serial No. 507,889.
An object of this invention is to provide a device which will be simple in construction, strong and durable, and at the same time may be cheaply manufactured.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device which will be adjustable, so as to be readily applied to either the head or handle of a cycle, and which will also be adjustable, to fit diflerent sizes and styles of lamps.
These and further objects, together with the construction and combination of parts, will be more fully described hereinafter and particularly set forth in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings formin a part of this specification, in which simi ar characters of refer ence indicate corresponding parts in both views, and in which Figure 1 1s a perspective view, showing the device a tached to the head of a cycle and Fig. 2 i a horizontal section of the de- V109;
Referring more particularly to the separate parts of the device, 1 indicates a head bar of a cycle, on which a supportin memher 2 is adapted to be clamped. T e supporting member 2 consists'of two parts, 3
and 4, which are preferably stamped ofsome suitable metal and have concave engaging portions 5 and-6, on the inner surfaces of which are secured suitable cushions 7 and 8, which may be made of any suitable material, such as rubber, felt or the like. The part 4 has, at the end, just beyond the concave portion 6, an extension 9, which extends at an angle thereto and has a plurality of perforations 10 therein, which are adapted to be engaged by a, suitable hook member 11 on the other part 3 of the supporting member 2. By this means, the parts 3 and 4 may be adjusted relative to each other, so
as to engage securely, su ports of diiferent sizes. At the'opposite en of the supporting member 2, the parts 3 and 4 are provided with facing concave portions 12 and 13, which form a socket for a suitable ball-end 14:, which is preferably integral with a lampattaching member 15. The surfaces of the ball 14 and the engaging concaves 12 and 13 are preferably roughened or milled so as to grip each other firmly.
Intermediate the ends of the supporting member 2, there is provided on the part 3, an angular perforation, through which a suitable adjusting member 16, which is preferably in the form of a screw, is adapted to pass. This screw 16 also extends through an alined opening in the part 4, and is adapted to clamp the parts 3 and 4 together by means of a thumb-screw 17 which is threaded onto the screw 16, and engages one or more washers 18, interposed between the thumb screw 17 and the part 4. This screwand-nut arrangement serves the double purpose of locking the supporting member to a support, and also of locking the attaching member to the supporting member in any adjusted position, this relative adjustment being permitted by the universal joint or ball-and-socket arrangement, hereinbefore described.
The lamp-attaching member, at its end opposite to the ball 1 1, is preferably somewhat reduced, so as to form a lamp-engaging portion 19. To this part, there is pivoted byany suitable means, such as a rivet 20, a similar lamp-en aging portion 21. The portions 19and 21 have suitable alined slots 22, which are adapted to receive an attaching member on the lamp. These slots, together with the side surfaces of the portions 19 and 21, are preferably milled or sur aces. The pur ose of havin a plurality of portions 19 an fit difi'erent styles and sizes 0 lamps which are provided with bifurcated lugs the tongues of which are separated from each other by varying distances in diflerent styles of lamps.
While the device is shown as attached to the head bar of a cycle, it may just as readily be attached to the handle bar or any other portion of the machine, and inasmuch as there is provided a. universal connection berouphened, so as to form positive engaging 21, is in or er that the attaching member may be ada ted to readily su porting member, the lamp is thus per- .mltted to be held in its upright position, no
matter to what part of the machine the bracket is attached.
Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent.:
1. In a bracket, the combination with a lamp attaching member, of a supporting member, means for adjusting said supporting member relative to said attaching member, means for lockin said members in any adjusted relation, and means for adjusting the thickness of said attaching member to fit different lamps.
2. In a bracket, the combination with a lamp-attaching member having a slotted lamp-engaging portion, an auxiliary slotted lamp-engaging portion pivoted to said firstmentioned portion, a roughened ball-end on said lamp-attaching member, a supporting member for said attaching member, said supportin member comprising two parts, each of W ich have facing concave portions on one end which are adapted to form a socket to receive said ball-end, said parts of said supporting member having at their opposite ends concave support-engaging portions, cushions for said support-engaging portions, means for adjusting said parts relative to each other, and screw -threaded means for locking said parts together.
said perforations to form an adjustable.
hinge joint, and means for adjustably securing said parts together.
4. In a bracket, the combination with a supporting member, of. a lamp-attaching member comprising a roughened ball end, a lamp engaging portion rigidly secured to said ball end and having a slot therein, and a lamp engaging portion pivotally secured to said first-mentioned lamp en aging portion and having a slot therem a apted to be brought into alinement with said first-mentioned slot.

Solar StormJanuary 9th, 2014 at 7:36 am by Pamela Gardner under Weather
A strong geomagnetic storm is in the forecast through Friday.
A strong solar eruption was observed Tuesday. This means a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) can cause a geomagnetic storm. This could affect power systems, satellite operations and navigation or radio waves.
The aurora, or northern lights, could reach as far south as Indiana. The northern lights are difficult to predict, but there are some hints that could point to it happening here.

5.0 out of 5 stars SPARKLING CHESTERTON,
tex (the UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heretics (Hardcover)
A 1905 collection of twenty Victorian journalistic essays and articles still worth reading, and not merely on historical or nostalgic grounds? Some pieces are of mainly historical interest, but not most. Neither is it a 'religious title', in fact it is nearly irreligious in places. It merely takes issue with arty types like Mr. Kipling, G.B. Shaw, H.G. Wells, and Whistler. It is also vintage Chesterton, at his usual paradoxical, oblique, witty, funny, slapstick, sardonic, jolly, and generous best.
It is a positive and happy book, but it was accused of Negativism in its day (Kafka said Chesterton was so full of joy that you might almost suppose 'he had found God'--perverse but honest.) Another exasperated opponent, said that if he was so clever and all-knowing he should write down his own personal positive beliefs. So he did. They are still read today, and many who enjoy 'Orthodoxy' (1908) will enjoy this, its progenitor too, which is impossible to summarize, so I have given a thumbnail of each chapter.
Chapter 1. Introductory remarks on the importance of orthodoxy
The examined life - meaninglessness of modern subjective attitudes of not owning your own point of view. Decline of respect for reason and rational argument - political correctness, or 'Good taste, the last and vilest of human superstitions'. To know a man's worldview is to know him. Pernicious effects of subjectivism in literature and the arts.
2. On the negative spirit
Essential need for positive belief - no society can prosper on negative laws alone. Progress in human rights of liberty, education, free speech, and tolerance are only guaranteed with 'a definite creed and a cast-iron code of morals'.
3. On Mr. Rudyard Kipling and making the world small
Kipling considerable poet but no true patriot, but proto-fascist. [GKC probably first to spot this.] Worships strength and discipline, empire-building, for their own sake. 'He admires England, but he does not love her'.
4. Mr. Bernard Shaw***GOOD***
[GKC being good friend of GBS.] GBS brilliant and witty, but hopeless subjectivist. GBS attacks all pretensions as 'every moral generalization oppressed the individual; the golden rule was there is no golden rule'. But then why should we allow Him to make the One Rule that rules them all? Perpetrates errors of sociologist/anthropologist, still with us today.
5. Mr. H.G. Wells and the giants***GOOD***
Wells' faith in Evolutionism (as opposed to evolution) shown to be false - 'the scientific fallacy...of not beginning with the human soul...but with some such thing as protoplasm'. The demonstrable fact of original sin in the universal existence of selfishness. Wells' Utopia assumes selfishness can be cured by ignoring it, not curing it. 'Heresy of immoral hero-worship' (ie, celebrity).
6. Christmas and the aesthetes
Essential nature of ritual. Attacks 'The religion of Comte, generally known as Positivism, or the worship of humanity'. Comte's attempt to institute a secular religion - ritual the only sensible part of his theory as it expresses the deepest meaning and emotion. 'Take away what is supernatural, and what remains is the unnatural.'
7. Omar and the sacred vine***EXCELLENT***
Correct attitude to wine and the good things of life. Not a mere mean between excess and teetotalism but a proper enjoyment of what is good. 'Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable...poetical drinking...is joyous and instinctive'. 'Happiness is a mystery like religion, and should never be rationalized...If we are to be truly gay, we must believe that there is some eternal gaiety in the nature of things.'
8. The mildness of the yellow press
Tabloids. No so much sensational as stunted, mendacious, and silly. [So no change there then.]
9. The moods of Mr. George Moore
Satirical. Pride, least attractive of all faults.
10. On sandals and simplicity
Gentle mockery of the vegetarian impulse.
11. Science and the savages***GOOD***
Materialism (philosophical). Sociology/anthropology inadequate methodology. Starts by excluding what they pretend to disprove existence of. Study of primitives less revealing than study of one's own soul. [cf. Pascal Boyer]
12. Paganism and Mr. Lowes Dickinson***EXCELLENT***
Dickinson represents ancient Greeks as 'an ideal of full and satisfied humanity', ie, he is a humanist/New Ager. Replaced by Christianity because rational but sad pagan virtues such as justice and temperance insufficient. Great Christian virtue is humility. Mystical and happy values of faith, hope, and charity are essential, even if seem irrational.
13. Celts and Celtophiles***GOOD***
Race: a non-concept [genetically ahead of his time!]. Nationhood: a definable spiritual concept. Irish a nation, not a race.
14. On certain modern writers and the institution of the family
Defence of the family against Nietzsche & co.
15. On smart novelists and the smart set
Analysis of 'penny dreadfuls' and 'halfpenny novelettes'.
16. On Mr. McCabe and a divine frivolity
Use of humor defended in serious debate (against po-faced atheist).
17. On the wit of Whistler***EXCELLENT***
Errors of relativism in art as in ethics: illustration of the mutable camel. The artist Whistler: 'He was one of those people who always live up to their emotional incomes, who are always taut and tingling with vanity'. Three type of satirist who are also great men (illustrated by Rabelais, Swift, and Pope. Whistler talked too much about his art to be a great artist.
18. The fallacy of the young nation
A nation may be chronologically young and spiritually old, or vice versa. Eg, Ancient Greece and America.
19. Slum novelists and the slums***EXCELLENT***
Patronizing novelists writing of the lower classes, eg Somerset Maugham. Undemocracy in Britain.
20. Concluding remarks on the importance of orthodoxy
'Man can be defined as the animal that makes dogmas.'
'If we want doctrines we go to great artists.'
'The more we are certain what good is, the more we shall see good in everything.'
'We have a general view of existence, whether we like it or not; it alters, or, to speak more accurately, it creates and involves everything we say and do, whether we like it or not.' True.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wisdom, Variety, Humour,
Xenophanes (Fredericton, New Brunswick) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heretics (Hardcover)
Heretics is somewhat neglected in Chesterton's oeuvre, possibly because it is an early work (1905), and many of the writers discussed are out of fashion now. Yet, I believe Heretics contains not only his best writing, but it already establishes the main themes of his life's work.
Technically, it is a book of literary criticism, but from an unusual point of view, that of his subjects' philosophy.
"I am not concerned with Shaw as one of the most brilliant and one of the most honest men alive; I am concerned with him as a heretic--that is to say, a man whose philosophy is solid, quite coherent, and quite wrong." (p. 22)
Brilliant though he was, Shaw expected reality to conform to an inhuman ideal:
"He has all the time been silently comparing humanity with something that was not human, with a monster from Mars, with the Wise Man of the Stoics, with the Economic Man of the Fabians, with Julius Caesar, with Siegfried, with Superman. Now, to have this inner and merciless standard may be a very good thing, or a very bad one, it may be excellent or unfortunate. but it is not seeing things as they are." (pp. 62-63)
This is excellent writing, whether we entirely agree or not. It may be a little unfair to Shaw, but it is fair to life.
Chesterton is often called an optimist. But he knew the other side, as anyone reading Alzina Stone Dale's life, The Outline of Sanity, can find out. Joy in living, good beer, conversation, balance, sanity, these were achievements, not just nature.
I have never read, or even found, the books of Mr. George Moore who wrote an autobiography. Chesterton attacks his egoism, the interest in the world as related to his own temperament:
"We should really be much more interested in Mr. Moore if he were not quite so interested in himself. We feel as if we were being shown through a gallery of really fine pictures, into each of which, by some useless and discordant convention, the artist had represented the same figure in the same attitude. 'The Grand Canal with a distant view of Mr. Moore," "Effect of Mr. Moore through a Scotch Mist,' 'Mr. Moore by Firelight,' 'Ruins of Mr. Moore by Moonlight,' and so on seems to be the endless series." (pp. 131-132)
That has to be one of the funniest sentences ever written, and I could barely type it for laughing. A bit later on the page, Chesterton gives his vision of originality:
"Thinking about himself will lead to trying to be the universe; trying to be the universe will lead to ceasing to be anything. If, on the other hand, a man is sensible enough to think only about the universe; he will think about it in his own way. He will keep virgin the secret of God; he will see the grass as no other man can see it, and look at a sun that no man has ever known."
There is no space to mention all the wonderful writing in Heretics. I will mention his often expressed view of the narrowness of the larger world, where one can choose one's companions, as opposed to the nation, the neighborhood or the family, where one has to take people the way they are, with all their foibles.
"The best way that a man could test his readiness to encounter the common variety of mankind would be to climb down a chimney into any house at random, and get on as well as possible with the people inside. And that is essentially what each one of us did on the day he was born." (p. 190)
As always, Chesterton's ideas are eminently discussable! No commentary of mine could do justice to the variety, wisdom, and good humour in this book. The best thing would be to find a copy and read it.
I have the John Lane, edition, 1905.
4.0 out of 5 stars interesting,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Heretics (Paperback)
His writing style can be challenging, and some of the issues of the day are unknown to me, but I enjoyed this book. It's not really about Heretics, as such, like I thought it would be. More about atheists and their worldviews. Much of this is SO relevent today, even though all these issues are from 100 years ago. Very interesting that so much has NOT changed!
4.0 out of 5 stars Different than expected.,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Heretics (Paperback)
The book is very good generally but I am not convinced that the church of rome is the unit holding all of Christianity together as he does.

Yountville's "First Taste" Event 2013
Our staff member Taylor describes her experience at Yountville's "First Taste" Event in Napa Valley, California this February…
Yountville's 'First Taste,' event held Thursday February 21, 2013, by the Yountville Appellation Association (YAA), is a Trade/Media- only preview of upcoming releases from the Yountville Appellation producers located in premiere Napa Valley ( An appellation is a legally defined and protected geographical indication used to identify where the grapes for a wine were grown ).This particular event is once a year before the Napa Valley Vintner's Premier Napa Valley Auction. This auction is for trade to bid on special barrel lots, so this is not something that caters to consumers. People in the wine industry gathered in a wood/brick accented room where the ambiance was designed perfectly for divine wine tasting. Roughly, 350 Buyers, Winery owners, Restaurant owners and People in the wine trading business attended the charming event Thursday afternoon. The tasting welcomed people in the wine trading business to be the first to witness the sixteen wineries' debut wines of this year. Charles Krug's 'New Generation' wine made it's first debut at an event tasting this Thursday and I'll be the first to inform you; It's one to keep an eye out for.
One of my favorites of the event was Ad Vivum's 2009 Cabernet; however, there was quite the debate over their 2009 and 2010. Any 49ers fans out there? If so, you might get kick out of the fact that Carmen Policy has a winery called, 'Casa Piena' which is in the appellation and he is also a board member of the YAA. This event not only offered the luxury of wine tasting but also an array of great locally grown cheeses ranging from Blue Cheese, Cheddar, Goat Cheese, and Gouda; however, it didn't stop there. What better to pair with a phenomenal glass of wine than the finest cheeses, crackers, nuts, and grapes? I can't think of anything! Sounds like one of our Sunshine and Vine Wines Gift Baskets! However, if an atmosphere filled with great food, talented wine makers, and a room exploding with people obtaining a high volume of knowledge about the wine industry isn't enough then walk outside and enjoy being in the heart of wine country and exquisite restaurants. From the looks of everyone's faces the event was a complete success for both the Napa Vintners Appellation and the wineries.
After the event, I had time to wonder around the town of Yountville and explore because this was my first time in such a beautiful quaint town. Did you know that Yountville, CA is known as the Epicurean epicenter which is home to many famous Michelin starred restaurants in town (French Laundry, Bistro Jeanty, Bouchon, Redd, Bottega, etc). For those of you who haven't been their either, I'll fill you in on what I saw first hand. Walking down the street you can find; restaurant, bakery, hotel and wineries one after the other. The smell of delicious food traveled in the warm winds which unfortunately made me extremely hungry! The locals suggested Pacific Blues, but sadly it was so popular I couldn't sit down. I ended up walking into a store called 'Napa Style' which had a courtyard with romantic flowers, water fountains and tons of field of green grass. Everywhere you turn you have a fantastic view of the vineyards. With that being said, Yountville is definitely a town worth visiting. In the end, my California Delicious was that Thursday turned out better than I could have imagined because the event was executed flawlessly with a great team of helpers, everyone had a good time, met genuinely friendly people and explored a new town which I now love! But If I had to choose just one; My California Delicious would be Ad Vivum's 2009 Cabernet.
Here are some fun facts about wine; found on this website as well as other information about Napa's Vintners Appellation.
Fun Facts about Wine:
- One barrel of wine equals roughly 20 cases, which equals 1200 glasses.
- A ton of grapes makes about 720 bottles of wine, or 60 cases.
- One vine annually produces between four and six bottles of wine, or between 20 and 30 glasses.
