Riding the Metrospiritual Wave
The growing ranks of the hip and holistic are seeking their inner bliss with serious style.
BY: Ariana Speyer
wyneth Paltrow is one. So are Angelina Jolie and Leonardo DiCaprio. Chances are yourbikram yoga
teacher has the major characteristics and so does the guy who makes your fruit smoothie atJamba Juice
. Donna Karan is totally in on it. The salesperson who helps you find the right Botanical Kinetics moisturizer at Aveda is probably one, along with your eco-tourism guide at Costa Rican surf camp. Richard Gere may be the proto-one and Uma Thurman was pretty much born into it. What is influencing Hollywood stars and Wal-Mart shoppers, fashionistas and Filene's basement-dwellers alike? It's called metrospirituality, and chances are you already know or even lead the life of a metrospiritual.
Do you go out of your way to buy organic food? Have you thought about thewu wei
in your home? Have you tried yoga, belly-dancing, or surfing recently? Are you attracted to traditional crafts from other cultures or have you started knitting? Do you own aPrius
or have you thought about buying a hybrid car? Are you a tea connoisseur or an organic wine- and beer-drinker? Is there a certain aromatherapy scent that brings you comfort, especially in candle form? If most of your answers are yes, then count yourself among the growing numbers of metrospirituals-the kinder, gentler post-Yuppies who want to treat the earth and native cultures with respect, connect with their inner source and inspiration, test their bodies and expand their minds with ancient physical practices-and do it all with serious style.
Jim Twitchell, a professor of English at the University of Florida and author of many books about consumer culture, including"Adcult USA:
The Triumph of Advertising in America" (1995), attributes the demand for luxury goods to a need for salvation or epiphany through consuming. Throughout history, Twitchell argues, "The primary deliverer of sensations was the church. That's where you went to have an epiphany. . The sensations of luxury mirror the sensations of epiphany-the ability to give the consumer the sensation that I've come to the end of the line, I'm saved, I'm there, I don't have to wrestle any more." The metrospiritual takes luxury-buying to a new level--reaching outward for connection to the planet and to each other.
According to Sharon Lee of youth-trend forecasting firmLook-Look
, "There's lots of desire to be spiritual and have more meaning than a commercial, purely secular lifestyle provides. And there's a smorgasbord of product offerings that have gradations of spirituality woven into them." The words you see and hear again and again on the many products that help define and support the metrospiritual lifestyle-likeFresh's
Crème Ancienne which is made by hand at a monastery in the Czech Republic--are "calm," "enrich," "renew," "inspire," "experience," "connect," "heal," "ancient" and "conscious," for starters.
Spirituality with Style
|Gwyneth Paltrow
is a metrospiritual
Metrospirituality is the mainstreaming of Taoist, Buddhist (thanks to Richard Gere and Uma's dad, Buddhism scholar and practitioner Robert Thurman), and Hindu values, among others, into an easily digestible, buyable form. TakeHampton Chutney Company
, for instance. This highly popular New York-area food empire makes traditional Indian dosas and uttapams-the kind of thing you might make and eat at an Indian ashram-which is exactly where the owners, Gary and Isabel MacGurn, met in 1990. They now have three thriving outposts at very tony addresses-one in Long Island's Hamptons, one in New York City's Soho, and one on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. At the Soho store, pictures of yogis decorate the walls and devotional Indian chants pour soothingly out of the stereo.
And what are you actually getting if you have the patience to wait on the slowly snaking line? Semi-fast food that is nutritious and delicious (the Number Six, for example, is masala-spiced potatoes with spinach, jack cheese, and tomato), served in an atmosphere heavy on the good yogic vibes. You're getting food with a stamp of individualism and thought, an exotic staple made American and virtuous in some ineffable way.
Virtue is a key feature of the metrospiritual lifestyle, and those in the fold expect it not only of themselves but also from the companies to which they give their business. Of course, as Sharon Lee points out, "Lots of companies are doing a superficial job and lots of companies are doing a really meaningful job" of being responsible global citizens. AtOrigins
, part of the written mission is to "do whatever we can to protect the earth and its resources." OnAveda's
website, the idea is to "strive to set an example for environmental leadership and responsibility."
Metrospiritual companies that practice what they preach believe that popular, profitable products and social responsibility are not mutually exclusive propositions.Whole Foods
, an emblematically metrospiritual company, is in the midst of a massive expansion of its $3.9 billion business. Not surprisingly, the Whole Foods web site echoes the now-familiar mantra, "We believe in a virtuous circle entwining the food chain, human beings and Mother Earth: each is reliant upon the others through a beautiful and delicate symbiosis."

I am sorry you are having such horrible side effects still -
I have not heard of such side effects as these but I do have a couple of questions:
1) are you seeing the same doc that did the implant? Did they do the "TRIAL" implant?
2) did they call after you were home with it - say within 4 hours to see how you were doing?
3) who are you seeing right now? is this a new spine specialist (Orthopedic Spine Specialist or Neurosurgeon Spine Specialist)?
4) have you researched the internet to see if there are reports of such side effects?
5) when was the last time you had a MRI/CT Scan done?
6) have you or will you seek legal action provided you see a different spine specialist and get a diagnosis of what is going on?
I'm sorry for so many questions but the more we know the more we can help you.
I did have the SCS trial implant done in 11/08 - I have nerve damage in both legs plus severe chronic pains at the L5-S1 where my plate, screws and cage are (Fusion done 2/08) and even before I left the office I was in tears as I was in such pains. I went home and curled up in fetus position. The sells associate for the implant called me after 4 hours - I was crying on the phone - we tried different settings and when he told me to turn it off OH MY GOD IT WAS A RELIEF - my pains went back to their normal pains - but once he told me to turn it back on the pains in my legs went away but the pains in my lower back tripled - He said I was ATYPICAL - which at the time I didn't know what it meant - means what usually works for most people don't work for me. I went into the office the next day and spoke to the doc - he wanted to try and move the leads to another area in my back. I told him NO TO GET THE LEADS OUT - his nurse came in and even with the machine being off once the leads were removed I felt the pressure relieved off my back.
So yes I did have the TRIAL done but had it removed in less than 24 hours after being implanted.
I would suggest that you GOOGLE: SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR IMPLANT SIDE EFFECTS
when I did I found quite a few sites of where people have similar or different problems. I think you will find more answers there.
I hope that you have gone for a 2nd and 3rd opinion to different spine specialists to get a complete diagnosis and treatment plan in order.
Please let us know a little more ~~
Take care ~~ God Bless ~~

I have been back to my NS, went on 2 doses of steroids which helped but that is a short term solution. But it showed that inflammation was a big part of it all. He did follow up with an MRI, no damage seen from the SCS, and the fusion is fine and no others disc issues. Had L-4 to S-1 fused. ,.........his conclusion is, I have to learn to live with it. And the neuropathic pain, which is what the SCS was for is worse. He basically said hang in there and get you med doc to order an anti depressant. Went back to the anesthesiologist who did the implant. All he said is I don't know what happened and you must be in the one percent of patients that have bad things happen to them. I was specific when it was removed that the wires and unit be sent to the company to be checked. When I asked about it, he said there was nothing wrong with it. But I could tell by the way he said it then changed the subject that it was thrown away. I called my tech on the case and she knew I wanted her to take it to be checked, she told me the hospital does not return any medical devise taken from a patients body to the manufacturer and would not give it to her. So I am out of luck there. I filed an Adverse Event for medical equipment with the FDA. I don't believe I have a legal case. I would have to have another doc say yes, this caused your problems. But they all stick together. My physiatrist told me not to do it, he has seen too many people hurt worse than those that it has helped. I wish I had listened to him. I will not be going back to the anesthesiologist for pain meds. All he keeps saying is " I did nothing wrong". He said that 8 times when I was there last week. I think he is scared I will sue. He did give me a script for Dilaudid which is the only pain med that works for me. The muscle spasms are unbelievable and no med will help. He sent me on my way. I was able to function before the SCS using my Dilaudid, now I barely can get around. I am at a loss as to how to help myself. And all those other people are in the same boat. I did research before I did the implant, but never searched for problems or pain web sites. Not many people like this can work, and I can't either. My family relationships are suffering. It is so difficult to live with someone in so much pain. I wish you could help, but no one can. The only thing I can do is try to get the word out to those that have the same problems, and get them to let the FDA know about this. Thanks for your concern.......Dawn
It may help if you could get the website for Health Central and post that so some members can to there.
Also, in regards to your situation - how many Spine Specialists have you seen? We always let new members etc know that WE employ doctors and if you are not getting the results you need then it's time to look for a new one and this goes the same for pain management. I see a PHYSIATRIST Pain Specialist who really has taken care of my pain problems and they do have Spine Specialist they can refer you too if needed.
I do hope you can get answers and relief needed - keep us posted how u are doing~~
Take care ~~ God Bless ~~
~~ Joy ~~
How do you manage that.?????
You can also post like you did.
as far as doing paragraphs think of the post area as a Word Document where it does "wrap around" meaning you just keep typing and it automatically goes to the next line. when doing a paragraph just hit the "enter" key 2 times to start a new paragraph.
If you are utilizing another form to enter your posts (like "Notes" or "Word" or even from your email) that could be where the problem is. Sometimes if I copy a statement from a website it will do that so I go thru and separate where needed.
As far as seeing another spine specialist on your SCS implant just search for a spine specialist and when you find one do a GOOGLE search on them - it should pull up everything on them and you can read to see if they do the implants. Also if you live in a big city you can check with the university hospital as they will have more up to date treatments. They should also have up to date info on SCS implants and the problems associated with it.
I completely understand what you mean by having the need for your BRAIN to be stimulated. When I knew I would need the fusion surgery (done 2/08) I applied for partial disability in 1/08 to help while I healed as it could of taken 6 mts to a year. I had no idea that after 7 mts I would turn it into full disability. And that was a shock to my brain!! my pains are worse than before surgery. I was a Manager of Accounting and had a staff under me. My hubby and I have his father living with us since 6/06 and the first 4 yrs were really great but then we noticed a decline in him - he has 2nd stage dementia, diabetic, COPD, asthma and he has stents in upper legs that are blocked and he won't survive the operation to strip veins and re-direct everything. So I have my hands full especially if my hubby has to work out of town/state (Union worker).
There are still a lot you can do being disabled - you can still work but just not that many hours so be sure to check out all the info regarding disability - go to: WWW.MEDICARE.GOV
Hope this helps - let me know if u have more questions~~
Take care ~~ God Bless ~~
~~ Joy ~~
I was told everyone is denied this first time, so do you think it would be best to get a lawyer? Then if I do work I can do a little at a time and go from there??????.
Living on one income stinks.
And one of the worst parts of living with someone who is in constant pain, is there is a loss of intimacy and closeness, which makes it all the more depressing.
Just wanted to respond to the disability issue - YES please get a lawyer that handles disability only cases - everyone does get denied the first time as they apply for it themselves (I did) so getting an attorney to help you apply will be best thing to do.
Good luck - keep us posted~~
Take care ~~ God Bless ~~
~~ Joy ~~
Thanks for your help. .................Dawn
Take care ~~ God Bless ~~
~~ Joy ~~
May I send you a personal email? I have a private question I would like to ask.
I have 2 appts this morning - will check email when i get back~~
Take care ~~ God Bless ~~

Ex-movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg covers high-end audio news and reviews.
CNET's favorite speakers, including sound bars, Bluetooth speakers, and full surround sound systems.
While it doesn't play as loud when it's on battery power, the Sony SRS-X5 holds its own against the top Bluetooth speakers in its size and price class.
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
Pricing not available
As with the original flagship, Samsung is counting on the midrange phone's fingerprint scanner, heart-rate monitor, and extra apps to stand out.
Pricing not available
The Mini X definitely improves on the original with more advanced video features, better mics, and linear PCM audio recording.
The Xbox One Media Remote is a must-have accessory that makes it much easier to accept a gaming console as the hub of your living room.
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
Pricing not available
The $200 SRS-X5 delivers excellent sound in a relatively small package and competes directly with the top-selling Bose SoundLink Mini.
A limited-time promotion sees Sony giving away hundreds of dollars worth of movies, music, and apps for the Xperia Z1, Z1S, and Z2.
Sony's flagship Xperia Z1 packs a Full HD display, a quad-core processor, and a whopping 20.7-megapixel camera into a waterproof body and wraps it in an aluminium frame.
The cheaper, no-Kinect version of the Xbox One gives buyers a better deal by eliminating the one part of the console they probably didn't want to begin with -- but the PS4 remains a compelling alternative.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A second cast member of the MTV reality series "Buckwild" is in trouble with the law.
Michael Burford was arrested on Thursday on a charge of aggravated driving under the influence.
Burford is known as "Bluefoot" on the show.
On Twitter, Saturday, Burford admitted to his followers that he let many people down and takes full responsibility for his actions.
He says he should have called someone to pick him up and never should have never been behind the wheel.
What ever punishment he gets, Burford says he deserves.
Earlier in the week, another "Buckwild" cast member was arrested and charged with intent to deliver a controlled substance.

The New York State Sportswriters Association released its first football polls of the season Tuesday.
Of most interest is that Randolph is the only Western New York team to claim a top spot as No. 1 in Class D, which is no surprise considering they are the state champions and they're off to a dominating 2-0 start.
Also quite notable is that last Friday's clash in Rochester in which Aquinas beat visiting Canisius, 3-0, was indeed for the top ranking in Class AA. Aquinas is first and Canisius sixth. I'd have St. Joe's higher than their 11th spot (obviously I have them first on my large school poll ballot, and the Marauders took the top spot in The News poll).
St. Joe's owns a win over No. 18 St. Anthony's of Long Island, a victory which admittedly might not have the same value we thought it would after seeing that St. Anthony's beat Holy Trinity by a modest score (27-14). Holy Trinity played a close one with St. Francis in its opener and is generally a significant step behind St. Anthony's, which is 8-0 against Trinity since 2004, a run that has included a few blowouts.
Also interesting is St. Mary's making the poll -- but in Class A. I've notified the NYSSWA that we consider St. Mary's a small school in football, and while they are not eligible for any state playoffs, we would certainly consider them a B. The state polls are somewhat insane to compile, and discrepancies such as this happen from time to time; I would expect that St. Mary's might be moved down next week.
Here is the complete local rundown of the state rankings, which can be found at the NYSSWA's Road to Syracuse web site:
Class AA
1. V-Aquinas; 6. Canisius; 11. St. Joe's; 19. Jamestown; 24. Lockport. Honorable mention: Frontier, Lancaster, Orchard Park.
Class A
1. II-Burnt Hills; 5. Sweet Home; 14. West Seneca East; 17. Grand Island; 23. St. Mary's; 25 Williamsville South. HM: McKinley, South Park, Williamsville East.
Class B
1. IV-Maine-Endwell; 3. Alden; 10. Depew; 13. Burgard; 19. Cheektowaga. HM: Eden, Medina.
Class C
1. II-Hoosick Falls; 7. Cleveland Hill; 11. Fredonia; 12. Lackawanna. HM: Salamanca
Class D
1. Randolph: 3. Maple Grove/Chautauqua Lake.

lol awesome start
aaaannnnnddd here we go with the o-line woes again.
Ah this seems familiar
Short passes,2 yard runs and sacked qbs. I know this offense.
Buttle is a moron...Powell can't pick up two guys there...he did a good job on the guy he DID pick up.
Keep neglecting the o-line, Tanny.
New offense looks eerily similar.
Of course.....why would I think anything's changed.
Oh well, Brady and the Pats starters couldn't move the ball much either.
AJ green was wide open there. poor zone play.
Is it me, but if the db's are 7-10 yards off the receiver, can't be good.
nice hustle Bell
chill out
NICE stick by bell. I'm a fan of us picking him up, but little worried to see how we cover TE's

2014 Marucci Black -8 Senior Youth Baseball
2014 Marucci Black -8 Senior Youth Baseball
Name: 2014 Marucci Black -8 Senior Youth Baseball
Combining a longer barrel with big league balance and a sleek design, the Black offers everything players could want in a top of the line bat. Constructed using Marucci's patented new two-piece design, the Black fuses an AZ3000 Alloy barrel with a composite handle. The composite handle on the Black is made extra stiff so that players can hit for maximum power, while Marucci's AZ3000 Alloy is ultra-responsive and provides the industry's best combination of performance and durability. The barrel on the black is made extra-long which results in a larger sweet spot and increased trampoline effect. The Black also features unprecedented big league balance, which means that players don't have to sacrifice swing speed for a bigger barrel. A reduced M.O.I. gives the bat a lighter swing weight for increased swing velocity, and ultimately more power. Marucci also brings their popular anti-vibration knob to the Black which, combined with the bat's two-piece construction, effectively eliminates negative vibration to give players maximum confidence and comfort at the plate. Marucci: Taking Baseball By Storm! The Black features the USSSA 1.15 BPF.
- Extended barrel lengths and a counterbalanced knob provide bigger sweet spots and better balance
- Proprietary seamless hybrid technology joins the aerospace grade aluminum barrel with a composite handle
- Carbon composite handle
- Patented Unequal Technologies Kevlar-reinforced grip eliminates sting
- No rings, inserts or governors in barrel
- 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter
- -10 Swing Weight
- Balanced swing weight
- USSSA Approved
- Original Price $249.99

The lawyer representing Drew Peterson the longest before his unceremonious departure from the case is trying to keep his financial records out of the public eye.
Attorney Joel Brodsky filed court papers to head off a subpoena for records of his financial dealings with Peterson.
The lawyers still representing Peterson claim Brodsky blew what would have been a successful defense against charges Peterson murdered his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Brodsky did such a bad job, Peterson's attorneys contend, that the convicted wife-killer should get a new trial.
Peterson's attorneys are trying to get their hands on Brodsky's financial records in hopes of showing Brodsky put his interest in making money in the media and entertainment industries ahead of his client's welfare.
According to court papers filed Friday morning, Peterson was "paraded around as a meal ticket" by Brodsky, "not as part of any intelligent, reasonable, well thought out competent legal strategy. He was a prop in support of (Brodsky's) efforts to enhance his own profile."
Judge Edward Burmila gave Brodsky one more week to comply with the subpoena. One of the attorneys still representing Peterson, David Peilet, was optimistic that Brodsky would cough up the records.
"I'm hopeful that he will," Peilet said. "We're giving him the opportunity to do it voluntarily."
Brodsky did not attend the hearing Friday morning. He failed to respond to a phone message left at his Chicago office.
Peilet said the money trail will show Brodsky let his greed get in the way of trying to represent Peterson, a former Bolingbrook cop also identified as a suspect in the mysterious October 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.
"The purpose of us trying to receive this information is the outcome of the case was influenced by money," Peilet said.
Besides putting Peterson's interests behind his own attempts to cash in on celebrity, the wife-killer's lawyers say Brodsky blundered when he called Savio's divorce lawyer as a witness during the murder trial. Peterson lawyer Steve Greenberg said the move was a death blow to Peterson's defense, and after the trial, jurors said the testimony from divorce lawyer Harry Smith clinched their decision to vote guilty.
While on the witness stand, Smith repeatedly hammered home to the jury that Stacy told him Peterson killed Savio.
"There is not a competent attorney, or jurist, who could look at this testimony and come to any conclusion other than it was one of the worst things to ever happen in a courtroom," Friday's filing said.

LA stoplights synchronized but road war endures
By JOHN ROGERS, Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — It seems the impossible has occurred: The nation's most congested city has become a model for traffic control.
Gridlock still prevails and drivers' blood pressure still spikes as LA's traffic arteries seize up during morning and afternoon rush hours.
Yet, with the flip of a switch earlier this year, Los Angeles became a worldwide leader by synchronizing all of its nearly 4,400 stoplights. It is the first major city to do so.
The result: Drive times have been reduced by 12 percent across major LA traffic corridors.
During rush hour, however, it's still hell to cross the City of the Angels by car.
The problem, according to traffic officials is this: Synchronization only works well when the streets aren't so clogged with cars as to make them almost impassable.

Recent Great Sacandaga Lake Reviews
I can't say enough about this wonderful property! The cabin was spotlessly clean and well equipped. There was nothing missing we could have asked for - there was even shampoo and conditioner in the shower! As many previous reviewers have noted, the bed was incredibly comfortable. Getting out of bed in the morning was the only chore of our day. Doug and Cheryl were very helpful throughout our short stay. Doug suggested a lovely hike for us to take, and was kind enough to let us interrupt his busy day to drive us up the river and supply tubes (and Cheryl dug up a floating cooler!) so we could tube back to the house. The location of this cabin is wonderful with riverfront views and close access to the lake. We were also able to use their kayaks for a quick trip out on the lake. We couldn't have asked for more and we will definitely be back again, hopefully for a longer stay!
I almost didn't want to do this review because I like to keep places like this secret so they will be available to me! ha but I loved this place. The owners are very nice. Although we didn't have the best weather we made the most of it. The cabin is rustic and very clean and well kept- With a true Adirondack feel. I hope they never try to make it "current" and ruin the natural beauty and peace of this place. well taken care of . The beach is very pretty and the owners even helped us get our boat in the water. We want to go back as most of the places out there don't keep true to the Adirondack cabin feel. This I do believe will be one of our many revisiting spots and excursions.
The home is a great place for a quiet retreat. It's situated on a small road with very few neighboring homes. As advertised, you have your own dock (and row boat) at the lake that is only steps away. The home itself is small, but with a fantastic bathroom and fully functional kitchen. There are a few fun amenities, like a popcorn maker and horse shoe pit that make for an extra special stay. The outdoor deck and fire pit are a wonderful way to enjoy the peaceful setting.

Jill O'Malley, director of the parent group Ken-Ton Parent Alliance and the donation site Ken-Ton Closet, announced today she is seeking a seat on the School Board this spring.
"My husband and I have discussed it and feel that this step is necessary to continue our efforts to advocate for the children of Ken-Ton," O'Malley said this afternoon in an email.
O'Malley is an outspoken opponent of the district's ongoing consolidation process, which may see schools close as the district faces shrinking enrollment. She is active in district affairs, often attending board meetings and sharing notes. The Ken-Ton Closet, based at the Sheridan Parkside Community Center, collects clothing and school supplies and distributes it to needy children in the district.
School Board elections will be held May 20. The seats currently held by Trustees Judy Frank and Jeff Rickan are up for grabs. They have not yet announced whether they will run for another term.

Philip Morris not resting on laurels
- Last Updated on 12:22 PM 04/23/12
- BY Joe Chandler
Philip Morris had not yet received the awards and accolades that went with his 2011 South Boston Speedway NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Model Stock Car Division title. But, the four-time NASCAR Whelen All-American Series National Champion and two-time South Boston Speedway NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Model Stock Car Division Champion is already busy preparing for the upcoming 2012 season.
Targeting South Boston Speedway as the place to launch a bid to repeat his national, state and track championships, Morris and the crew at Sellers Racing took advantage of a warm good-weather day on Jan. 6 to get in a full day of testing at the .4-mile oval.
"We're setting our sights here at South Boston Speedway," Morris said.
"There are always challenges that we're going to have to overcome. We've somehow got to get better than we were last year. The only way we're going to do that is get down here, get focused early and make that commitment to race for points here this season.
"We're six days in (into the month of January) and we're working as hard as we would be working if we were in May or June, when the competition gets fierce," he added.
"That bodes well for our opportunities this year."
It is hard to imagine that Morris, his car owner, Jim Dean, and H.C. Sellers and the crew at Sellers Racing could have a better year in 2012 at South Boston Speedway than they had in 2011.
Morris won 19 of 22 races, became the all-time career win leader in the Late Model Stock Car Division at South Boston Speedway and set a new track record for consecutive Late Model Stock Car Division race wins with a pair of streaks of eight wins in a row.
While everything remains intact for Morris and his team, the 2012 season is a new season and he isn't taking anything for granted.
"There is always going to be somebody that will step their game up and make your life miserable," Morris remarked.
"I've never seen it happen any other way. That's what I'm planning for. I'm bracing myself for that. If we didn't believe that we wouldn't be testing on January 6. We weren't testing on January 6 last year. We're definitely trying to step our game up. Jim has made the commitment. He wants to run well. He wants to have the cars up front. This is how you do it. You sacrifice and you make time."
Morris has accomplished much in the realm of NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Model Stock Car Division racing. He is appreciative and grateful for the championships and honors he has received and the records he has broken, but keeps it all low key.
"I don't know if that's something my granddaddy and daddy or somebody else taught me, but I was taught don't really celebrate it until you're done," Morris explained.
"It would be great to just maybe roll around in it a little bit, but there is still too much work left to be done. I'm 46 and I feel like I've got a few more years left. Ask me that question again in about three years and I'll tell you what it feels like."
Until he chooses to end his career, look for Morris to continue along the path that has brought success.
"It's just hard work and dedication," he pointed out.
"It's not easy, and, a lot of times, it's not fun. Sometimes it's really tough. It's the good times that keep you going."

A piece on the best releases new to streaming services and Blu-ray in the last two weeks, including "Noah," "Scanners," and "Life After Beth."
It's almost a given that the White House is the most secure place in the nation — possibly in the world. So when a North Korean terrorist plot can be executed with frightening precision — circumventing the seemingly impenetrable defenses surrounding the U.S. president and everyone around him — it boggles the mind.
That's the premise of "Olympus Has Fallen," the well-crafted political thriller from Antoine Fuqua, who has helmed actioners and thrillers such as "Replacement Killers," "Shooter" and "Training Day."
This film's title comes from the fictional Secret Service code ("Olympus") for the White House, which is being led by a very President Kennedy-esque Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart). But the true lead actor in this constantly gripping tale is Gerard Butler as Mike Banning, once the top presidential protecter for the Asher family, until a tragic event led him to be transferred to a pedestrian Secret Service job in the Treasury Department.
Fuqua and his writing team of Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt gave us a nice twist — a smart cinematic gift, really — as that forementioned "tragic event" (which I will not spoil by revealing) becomes a clever plot surprise. It's always good when something you KNOW is about to happen in a movie doesn't occur the way you think it will.
Of course, the thrust of "Olympus Has Fallen" centers on the actual kidnapping of the president and his top advisers, including the vice president and the secretary of defense. Though filmed over a year ago, "Olympus Has Fallen" benefits from recent international tensions, since the attack on the White House is masterminded by a group of North Korean terrorists.
As the very convincing assault on the heart of Washington, D.C., and the White House itself occurs, Banning finds himself again thrust into the central action and quickly becomes the sole hope of saving the president and preventing a potential nuclear disaster that would end American life as we know it.
While the storyline and dialogue are frequently predictable, "Olympus Has Fallen" succeeds largely due to Butler's believablity as a Secret Service agent. Banning has the physical skills and mental cunning that allows him to become a virtual one-man army against a phalanx of single-minded killers out to destroy America by cutting off its symbolic "head": the president himself.
The special effects and attention to detail in "Olympus Has Fallen" are superb. It truly looks like the destruction depicted onscreen has actually occurred. Considering that most of this mayhem was created by CGI and filmed on extensive special sets constructed in Louisiana, the impact is even more impressive.
Beyond the fast pacing and effective explosions and bombing sequences, Fuqua is aided by an excellent cast of veteran actors who lend a tone of gravitas and provide a solid foundation for the over-all story.
Along with Eckhart and Butler — in one of his best performances in years — there's the always reliable Morgan Freeman, who takes a bit of a demotion from his previous roles as God and a U.S. president to portray the Speaker of the House. In addition, Angela Bassett is equally convincing as the head of the Secret Service, and Oscar winner Melissa Leo excels as the tough-as-nails secretary of defense, who endures very rough treatment by her North Korean captors.
While the head terrorist role could easily have degenerated into a one-dimensional cartoonvillain, Rick Yune is terrific as the chillingly charming — yet completely lethal — Yang, the mastermind of the entire plot.
While "Olympus Has Fallen" breaks no major new ground in the political thriller genre, Fuqua has directed a sharp, very taut adventure that keeps you engrossed from start to finish. It delivers some excellent visuals and a few surprising twists that add beautifully to the suspense.

Turf sports director at Cool Sports on Watt Road, Aubrey Ingham organized its first Score a Goal For Kids tournament Dec. 22, to benefit East Tennessee Children's Hospital. They are still accepting individual and team entries.
How did this come about?
Knoxville is a soccer town; there are plenty of opportunities to play anywhere you look. We thought we'd do a tournament that was about more than just soccer, a chance to come and play and still give back. We picked Children's Hospital to benefit because one of Cool Sports' figure skaters got rather sick several years ago—she was connected to Children's and we had a little exposure to them that way, so that's who we decided to go with.
It's all indoors?
Does that slow down or speed up the action?
It's faster, and unlike outdoor soccer the ball can't go out of bounds. We have arena boards around the field, and the true meaning of indoor soccer is that the ball always stays in play.
Is it easier to get kicked in the teeth playing indoors?
No. There's definitely more contact, more incidental bumping since you're closer to each other, but it's no more dangerous than being outside.
Is it harder to be the keeper indoors?
Yes, it requires more athleticism and agility. When a player shoots, even if they miss it doesn't go out of bounds, it goes off the wall and right back in play. Of course the goal is smaller.
Is it harder to ref indoors?
Yes and no. It's harder because things happen quicker but it's easier because you're much closer to the action.
What ages will be in the tournament?
U9 all the way through adult. Here at Cool Sports, the U9-U10 divisions are co-ed, then the older kids are single gender. And the adults play co-ed except for our one men's league.
Do you play?
For the tournament, I'll kind of be director, and helping out as a ref if needed. Some of my teams will be in it hopefully. In general, I do have two teams at Cool Sports I'm in charge of and I play for them on a regular basis.
What's your position?
I play goalie or in the midfield.
Are you fast?
I would not claim to be fast, no.
How long have you played soccer?
Since I was 4. I've been in charge of soccer at Cool Sports the past three years.
Do you have any college soccer experience?
I actually don't. I played through high school at Gallatin High School, but then I played football in college, at Carson Newman—I was the kicker.
Have you scored a lot of goals?
Yeah, I'd say so. Indoors scores are pretty high, and the good players score the most. The scores could be 8-11, 6-9, like that.
Have you ever pulled off a really cool move at Cool Sports?
I'd say I did with one or two bicycle kicks; though they may not be the safest thing to try, I have done it.

EDGEFIELD COUNTY, S.C. -- A teenager died in a crash in Edgefield County Wednesday morning.
The Edgefield County coroner says 15-year-old Deshon Surry was a passenger in a car driven by his brother on Bland Baptist Church Road.
According to the coroner, the car went off the road and went out of control after the driver over-corrected.
The teen was pronounced dead at the scene.

Following are several whispers we've been hearing from around the NFC North:
• People around Winter Park say there has been some obvious tension between head coach Brad Childress, whose job hangs in the balance on a weekly basis, and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, his possible successor. The two men have worked together for a few years now, and we hear they have done their best to keep their relationship professional and try to keep the Vikings competitive, as hard as it has been.
• Our Lions sources say not to read into the fact that TE Tony Scheffler has been somewhat of a forgotten man in the passing game of late. The reasons for it have been more related to matchups and personnel, with WR Nate Burleson re-emerging and the quarterbacks shuffling in and out of the lineup.
• The word out of Green Bay is that, after removing the remaining portion ($1.18 million) of departed CB Al Harris' $2.5 million base salary this year from the team's financial ledger, in addition to another $2.95 million next year, it's very possible CB Tramon Williams, who many believe has played at a Pro Bowl level this season, could be receiving a pricey new contract any day now.
• The Bears' Devin Aromashodu has been active in each of the past four games, but he has only two catches since Week One and still isn't getting much playing time while Devin Hester, Johnny Knox and Earl Bennett split the reps at receiver. Aromashodu told PFW that coaches are telling him he needs to hustle more and finish plays. Offensive coordinator Mike Martz seems to like his current situation at receiver, and it may be difficult for Aromashodu to get another extended look this season if his fellow receivers stay healthy.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Traverse City West's long-awaited soccer home opener ended with 32 minutes left on the clock Tuesday night.
With the Titans leading 5-0 on a slick and snow-covered field, Alpena coach Tim Storch elected, with the officials consent, to call it a game.
"I could see it coming from the get-go," West coach Lauran Pinto said. "I was hoping we could at least get a half in because Alpena traveled all this way and we were ready to play. I was nervous the whole time thinking we might have to call it."
West led 1-0 until late in the first half when the Titans scored twice to break it open.
"When we gave up those two goals to go down three, the referees told me that if they saw the situation getting unsafe, where players were in jeopardy of getting hurt, that was going to have a determining factor (if play continued). Obviously, when we gave up those two late goals, we had to try to do some things offensively and we exposed ourselves in the back and they got two more. At that point, we weren't going to score five goals to come back, and there was no sense of getting anybody hurt on either team," said Storch.
The Titans, now 2-0 in the Big North and 4-1-1 overall, dominated play, not allowing a single shot on goal.
"We were in our attacking third the whole first half," Pinto said. "We were just having some struggles getting the ball in the back of the net. I think we had 15 shots on goal. I think the weather conditions messed with the girls a little bit. But we were able to talk at half and figure out a way to score two quick goals (in the second half)."
Kiley Kreple netted two of West's first half goals.
"It was rough with the wind blowing the snow into your eyes, but no matter what the conditions we're ready to play," she said.
Kreple was surprised to see snow falling at the start of the game. Officials had to shovel off the lines at half.
"In one of my classes today we were looking at the radar," Kreple said. "I didn't see snow at all. This is definitely a surprise. I understand completely (why the game was called)."
Summer Slack, Jessica Kalbfleisch and Grace Earl also tallied for West, which travels to Ogemaw Heights on Thursday. Maria Rapson, Mikenna Ray, Jayna Brunetti and Kalbfleisch drew assists.
For Storch, the weather brought back memories when he was coaching Troy Athens in a boys state semifinal game with four inches of snow on the ground.
"This is the only thing close to that," he said.
West also won the JV game 8-0. Macy Schwert netted three goals and Kari Cannon and Ellie Taplin two for the Titans (4-1-1). Emily Walton added a solo goal. Taplin, Walton, Cannon and Stephanie DeVries picked up assists. Kaylie Camp had the shutout in goal.

Darci Vierra: Back on the field … and then back off the field
Since my post last Tuesday, I've had some good news and some bad news. Good news was that the doctor finally cleared me to play again, so I was able to play against East Bridgewater! Bad news, however, was that we lost, 3-0. To someone just looking at the score it might seem as if my team didn't put up much of a fight, but the game really was pretty even. Our downfall, as usual, was that we couldn't finish the ball. We rebounded the next week though with a 5-0 win against Hull and a 2-0 win against Mashpee. Against Mashpee, I assisted the first goal and scored the second. But, this is where my bad news comes back into play. With three minutes left in the game, I managed to get a concussion. So, back to square one – waiting to get cleared by the doctor once again. I'm hoping I'll be back playing next week. (more…)
Bundesliga, Matchday 5: Duisburg continues hot run
By Olaf Goldbecker
1.FFC Frankfurt v SC Bad Neuenahr 2:0 (0:0)
Frankfurt continues to win games in an unconvincing way. A crossbar shot by Lira Bajramaj after a wrong free kick decision was the best Frankfurt had to show in the first half, while Bad Neuenahr had a few chances on counter attacks. In the second half, the home team got stronger but still was not playing like a top team. A more than doubtful penalty decision helped them to get on track, Sandra Smisek converted after 71 minutes. Japanese defender Saki Kumagai decided the game with six minutes left on the clock.

Week 7: Match of the Week – Harvard tops Yale
Harvard vs. Yale
When: Saturday, October 1
Time: 4 p.m.
Location: Reese Stadium, New Haven, Conn.
Final: Harvard 2-1 (OT)
1st Half:
Yale: 1- Meredith Speck, assist by Kristen Forster (17')
2nd Half:
Harvard 1-Melanie Baskind, assist by Patricia Yau (60')
Harvard 2-Peyton Johnson, penalty kick (93')
By Dan Hajducky
Yale vs. Harvard is an athletic rivalry that has been storied since the beginning of American collegiate sports history. The names of the two schools side by side on the scoreboard elicit ancient emotion from bystanders. Harvard opened their halls to students in 1636, and Yale in 1701, and their first athletic competition against each other was on the football gridiron in 1875.
Harvard came out on top tonight on this picture-perfect fall New England day. Peyton Johnson scored the winning goal off of a penalty kick to lead the Crimson to a 2-1 overtime win over the Bulldogs. (more…)

Lisa-Marie Woods: A whole new focus
As I write this, I am sitting on the ferry on my way from Denmark to Norway. We have just beaten Brondby, 2-1, in a well-played game that was broadcast on national television. As you might know by now, Brondby won the league this year, and we came in second. I feel that is a fair result after all. We won two games against them and they won two games against us. We had the chances to come out as number one, but we failed when it counted most. Silver is not bad, even though it only is best of the losers. My journey with the team has been up and down. While I have been on the team, we have played some fantastic games, but unfortunally we have also played some
terrible games. That's also what separates a number one team from a number two team. (more…)
Jordan Angeli: 'I won't let an injury determine my fate'
4, 1.5, 2, and 20. These numbers have been running through my mind lately and here is why…
4 – It's been 4 days since my 25th birthday. Twenty-five, wow what a milestone. A quarter of a century. Halfway through my 20s. Alright, I better stop before I start getting down. I can't explain why, but after I hit this milestone, I almost had a quarter-life crisis! Luckily for me, I soon realized that you don't have to have life figured out by 25, just as long as you are trying to find your way. I will be fine, right?!
1.5 – It has been 1.5 weeks since my surgery. Everything went well the day of surgery. I was pumped to get my journey started up until I actually started driving over to the surgery center on May24th. On that rainy Colorado morning, I got very quiet. Something you may not know about me is that is not a very normal thing. (more…)
Interviews with Emma Part 7: A Conversation with Atlanta's Keeley Dowling
By David Bayer
When Keeley signed with the Beat in the off-season, the only thing I heard about her was that she has an incredible vertical leap. After meeting her, we found there are many incredible things about her. She's warm, friendly, unassuming, and has a smile that leaps out at you. (more…)
WPSL Week in Review: Rain score 14 in two games, young FC St. George side tops Utah
By Kaeley McEvoy
As the opening month of the WPSL came to a close this Memorial Day weekend, the league saw competition increase greatly in the Big Sky and East-Mid-Atlantic conferences. Although a majority of the league took a hiatus this past weekend to celebrate the holiday, or more likely to get a few more training sessions in before the opening weekend of June, other teams used this weekend as an opportunity for double headers to get a leg up on the competition.

Maria Karlsson: Home sweet home
I love to travel, to be abroad, meet new people and new cultures, to taste new food and get new experiences, and since January all that has been a big part of my life. I've really enjoyed my first four months in England and all the new experiences I've had and all new people I've met.
Last week, Kylla Sjoman and I were in Barcelona and Rome. It was a lovely week with sun, ice cream, sea, tapas, FC Barcelona, new friends, pizza, Colosseum, and espresso. The foreign girls in Doncaster (Kylla, Aine, and I) have had a good time at Ramada Hotel, but Kylla and I didn't miss the hotel food when we ate home cooked pasta in Italy. It was lovely! In Barcelona, we watched FC Barcelona's last home game for the season. The game was average, but the celebrations after were the most amazing I've ever seen. More than 70,000 people congratulated the Spanish Champions, and I really look forward to tonight's Champions League game. I feel prepared after being at both Old Trafford and Camp Nou the last months. I hope we'll see a well played game between two tactical teams that want to attack. (more…)
World champion Germany announces World Cup roster

Two world champions of 2007 did not make the final cut. Defender Sonja Fuss (FCR Duisburg) and forward Anja Mittag (Turbine Potsdam) will have to watch this year's competition on TV. Also taken off the roster were defender Josephine Henning (Turbine Potsdam) and forward Conny Pohlers (1.FFC Frankfurt), as well as keeper Lisa Weiss (SG Essen-Schönebeck). (more…)

Olympique Lyonnais takes revenge on Potsdam, wins Champions League
By Olaf Goldbecker
Olympique Lyonnais cared for an end of the German dominance in the Women's Champions League. With a 2-0 win against Turbine Potsdam, they took revenge for the loss after a penalty shootout in the previous season. It was Olympique's and France's first international club title in women's soccer. (more…)
Stephanie Labbe: Guess who's back?
Well, today was officially the first day back between the pipes today with my gloves on since I tore my PCL three and a half weeks ago! The fact that I am moving the way I am, with no feeling of pain or weakness still amazes me. Back on May 1, when I suffered my injury, naturally, I NEVER thought I would be doing as much as I am at this time. Since I woke up on May 2, I had a goal to be back for World Cup, and I haven't looked back once. (more…)
Lisa-Marie Woods: Yes or No?
I have been anxious to write this blog, as I knew I would wait until the roster for the WWC got released. It could have been a day of joy or a day of misery. As I told you in the last blog, I had an exciting week ahead of me, which was last week. It was the week where I had the national team camp as well as the cup final against Brondby. We all knew that this was our last chance to prove ourselves good enough for the World Cup team, and I had to give everything to prove that I would be the right selection. (more…)
Norway releases its World Cup roster
The Norwegian Women's National Team announced its World Cup roster this morning. Coach Eli Landsem named 19 players and will add two more prior to the World Cup. Lene Storløkken (LSK Kvinner) Lise Klaveness (Stabæk) are recovering from injury and still could make the squad, but are still being assessed. The roster features six players from the 2010 Norwegian Football Cup champions Røa, including former Lene Mykjåland, who played last year for the Washington Freedom of Women's Professional Soccer (WPS).

After her two-goal performance led the Western New York Flash to a 3-0 win over magicJack on Sunday, Flash midfielder and captain Caroline Seger earned WPS Player of the Week honors for gameweek 7. The Swedish international becomes the fourth Flash player in a row to win the award.
"I'm very happy to have won this, but I want to say thanks to my teammates because without them I wouldn't have gotten this," Seger told Our Game Magazine. "They make me play well and it's easy to be good when you have 10 others that help you out there." (more…)
Christie Welsh, Demian Brown make first W-League appearances of season
By Kaeley McEvoy
Two new faces made their W-League debut this week – one player and one coach – both looking to make an immediate impact on their respective clubs. On the East Coast, former U.S. Women's National Team player Christine Welsh joined the newly established D.C. United Women. Welsh, a WUSA and WPS veteran, joins United as both a player and an assistant coach. Welsh's resume is overwhelmed with national team experience, international excellence, and collegiate glory. During her first full year with the national team in 2000, Welsh scored 11 goals in 15 games. Her college scoring record, as a Penn State Nittany Lion, is equally as impressive with 82 goals and 53 assists in her four-year career at Penn State. She was honored as the first ever four-time NSCAA All-American in the history of women's collegiate soccer and by winning the M.A.C. Hermann Award during her junior year. (more…)

The gusts of wind were too much for a Massachusetts gas station to handle. The overhead canopy toppled over landing on top of a car. Police didn't have many details, but an eyewitness said the driver of the minivan was not in the vehicle when the roof blew over.
Heavy fog and snow fell on se3veral cities in China. Snow delayed some flights and personnel had to de-ice airplanes and remove snow. heavy smog rolled in after light rains fell. Shanghai has seen smoggy conditions for over 20 consecutive days.
Sydney is soaking in it. The city was submerged by its heaviest day of rain in 5 years. There were hundreds of evacuations and driving conditions were dangerous. Officials ranked it the worst day for anyone trying to get to work in 15 years. Drainage systems have struggled to cope and umbrellas have become the fashion accessory for Sydneysiders.

Middle East Quartet should end Palestinian Authority aid boycott and press Israel to release confiscated taxes
Increasing levels of poverty – health and education near melt-down – peace further away.
International agency Oxfam said today that conditions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories were close to melt-down. It called on members of the European Union (EU), especially the UK and Germany, to press the Quartet to end the boycott of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and put pressure on Israel to release confiscated Palestinian taxes. The call comes as the Middle East Quartet – the US, EU, Russia and the UN – meets in Berlin on Wednesday 21 February to discuss the peace process.
The agency warned that with Palestinian poverty levels rapidly increasing and basic services such as health and education crumbling, the chances of peace were diminishing. Internal conflicts in the Occupied Palestinian Territories have been greatly exacerbated by the inability of the PA to deliver essential services because of a lack of money.
"The Quartet needs to take off its blinkers and see the damage its policies are having on ordinary Palestinian families. Using international aid as a battering ram to force through political change is not only immoral but also counter-productive. While the Palestinian Authority is bled dry by Israel's seizure of tax revenue and the international aid boycott peace will be a distant dream. Oxfam recognizes Israel's right to exist as part of a two-state solution. Oxfam urges all parties to end violence as well as policies that lead to human suffering," said Jeremy Hobbs, Oxfam International Director.
In 2005 the Palestinian Authority received $814 million in customs and taxes collected by Israel, plus $348 million in international aid and nearly $394 million from domestic revenues. Since the election of Hamas, two-thirds of the Palestinian Authority's income has been slashed due to Israel's withholding of taxes and the Quartet's aid embargo.
"These policies are having a huge impact, creating a social crisis that is hitting families in the Occupied Territories. Oxfam is calling on the Quartet to put pressure on Israel to release confiscated Palestinian Authority tax revenue and to handover all these Palestinian funds," said Hobbs.
Since 2006 poverty has shot up. Two thirds of Palestinians now live in poverty, a rise of 30 per cent last year. The number of families unable to get enough food has risen by 14 per cent. More than half of all Palestinians are now are 'food insecure', unable to meet their families' daily requirements without assistance. The health system is disintegrating.
Public servants, such as doctors, nurses, teachers and police officers, are worst hit. They haven't had a regular income since February 2006. Their poverty rate has risen from 35 per cent in 2005 to 71 per cent in 2006. According to the World Bank public sector wage arrears stood at $572m by the end of October 2006.
In an effort to avoid a humanitarian crisis the EU increased its aid and set up a Temporary International Mechanism (TIM) to channel aid to the Occupied Palestinian Territories while by-passing the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority. The TIM gives support to some of the very needy but it fails to address the needs of the majority. It undermines Palestinian structures, is ineffective and is causing divisions within Palestinian society.
Oxfam warned that this temporary measure risks becoming a permanent fixture and the Quartet's proposal to expand the mechanism would only hasten the decline of existing Palestinian structures best able to deliver basic services.
The Quartet's decision to withhold funds from the elected Authority has convinced many Palestinians that the Quartet is not genuinely committed to democracy in the Middle East.

Last Sunday was another frostbite morning with air temperatures in the mid-teens at first light.
The day wore on, but the winds blew mightily from the north with gusts up to 35 mph. Even with brilliant sunshine, temperatures had a hard time reaching freezing. It was another winter's day around the Lower New York Bay urban-suburban environment.
Visiting the Morgan Mudflats in South Amboy has become a ritual this winter. With Gateway National Recreation Area's Sandy Hook closed due to ongoing repairs from Hurricane Sandy, all of sudden alternative wildlife sites around the bay have taken on new interest.
The mudflats along Raritan Bay in South Amboy, part of the Raritan Bay Waterfront Park, have not disappointed. It's a local birding site containing a batch of different coastal habitats including a salt marsh, a nearby forest, and, of course, a mud flat.
In recent visits I have seen Northern Harriers, Buffleheads, Common Goldeneyes, Red-breasted Mergansers, Sanderlings, loons, and even an occasional Great Cormorant perched on one of the far-away channel markers. Acre for acre it's a good place to see a variety of coastal winter wildlife.
Except maybe last Sunday. It was so cold and windy there was nothing to observe. It was all quiet on the bird front. No ducks, no cormorants and no shorebirds. It seemed odd that Raritan Bay appeared empty except for gulls, mostly Ring-billed with a couple of Greater Black-backs. Nothing special, right?
Then I remember the advice I received decades ago from a old baymen who used to love bird-watching while catching fish or crabs. He was one of the few baymen I found in Lower New York Bay who enjoyed bird watching, not sure why.
His name was Bill, and he always told me never to overlook the gulls that hangout in the bay. I should always keep an eye out for a black-headed Gull or a Bonaparte's Gull. Bill was a curious birder and took the time to really look and study the birds. He soon found out that our local gull population is pretty diverse.
Sure enough at the waterfront near at the mouth of Morgan Creek, I spotted the grand prize. I saw a few unusual gulls that were bit smaller compared to the others. Some had pink legs with black bills, while others had red legs with reddish bills. Both birds had pale gray and white plumage with unusual dark black spots of feathers on their head. These were not our typical gulls or seagulls you see around the bay.
Looking up the strange birds in Peterson's field guide, it seemed I spotted some Bonapart's Gulls and the less common black-headed gulls. These were beautiful delicate birds with elegant wings and sparkling plumage. Unlike our ordinary gulls around the bay, the Bonapart and Black-headed gulls were shy, timid, and really held back when I tried to approach them for a picture or two. Time and again they would nervously fly off into the air when I came too close.
New Jersey Audubon has identified the Morgan mudflats as a "reliable location" in New Jersey to see Bonaparte's gulls, little gulls, and even black-headed gulls. Come winter the birds repeatedly arrive here to the tidewaters of Raritan Bay from their summer breeding territories in northern Canada. Bonaparte' Gulls nest in northern forests near lakes and bogs. Black-headed gulls nest along the coast of Newfoundland in protected bays and shallow estuaries.
Although many people think that a gull is a gull, they're all the same, this isn't true. Each gull is different. Just like people, each gull has their own likes and dislikes, their own personality. Some are shy, some are brassy. Some are loud, some are serene. Some are edgy, others are relaxed.
There is actually quite a variety of gull species in Lower New York Bay. In my 25 years spent around here, I have seen 10 different gulls including great black-backed gulls, lesser black-backed gulls, laughing gulls, herring gulls, Bonaparte's gulls, Glaucous gulls, ring-billed gulls, Iceland gulls, Franklin's gulls, and now black-headed gulls.
When it comes to gulls, most folks will see a large group of birds in a parking lot or near a body of water and simply call them seagulls. There is not, however, one gull in the world with the name "seagull."
This is just an informal and not altogether accurate term used to call any grey or white water bird with webbed feet, usually with black markings somewhere on the wings or head, and with a typically coarse call. When someone calls a bird a "seagull" the term often reminds me of an old joke. What do you call a bird you see around a bay? A bagel (bay-gull), ha!
While most people think of all gulls as eating garbage, this isn't really true either. It's not an accurate way to describe all gulls. Sure some gulls, such as ring-bills and black-backs have been known to steal food out of a trash can or even right out of your hand at the beach, but many other gulls are not so pushy and seldom scavenge from garbage cans or people.
Bonaparte's gulls feed mostly on insects, marine worms, small fish, including herring, and crustaceans especially on shrimp. Black-headed gulls feed on insects, marine worms, earthworms, small fish, mollusks, and crustaceans. Occasionally carrion. They are versatile in feeding, and perhaps this is why they do so well spending the winter near the busy and murky waters of New York City.
As gulls go, the Bonaparte's and black-headed gulls are really striking. Hours afterward I left the Morgan Mudflats, I went checking every flock of gulls I saw around the bay, but never saw another. The sight of those two birds in South Amboy made my day a bit warmer in the middle of winter. Hopefully they will always be a part of the urban wildlife of Raritan Bay.
