RENTON – Looking for some instant offense in the passing game, the Seattle Seahawks hope they found it with the addition of tight end Kellen Winslow.
"He's a wide receiver in a tight end's body," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "He's got all of that ability and route-running like I mentioned, but more than that, he makes plays. As well as – the thing that I love about the guy the most – is that he's a great competitor. He just loves to play the game, and we can't have enough of that around here."
Winslow talked to reporters Thursday for the first time since Seattle traded a conditional seventh-round draft choice to Tampa Bay for the former University of Miami standout.
The 6-foot-4, 240-pound athlete looked smooth running routes and catching the ball during practice.
The Seahawks plan to pair Winslow with tight end Zach Miller, using them both in two-tight-end situations to force defenses to choose between running more heavy fronts to stop bruising running back Marshawn Lynch,or use more defensive backs to deal with Winslow and Miller in the passing game.
Seattle used two-tight-end formations nearly 40 percent of the time last season.
Winslow averaged 73 receptions and 792 yards his last three seasons in Tampa Bay. Miller finished with a career-low 25 catches last season, but Winslow believes the two tight ends can create a dynamic similar to New England's two-tight-end sets.
The Patriots' Rob Gronkowski finished with 90 receptions for a tight-end record 1,327 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns in 2011, while teammate tight end Aaron Hernandez totaled 79 receptions for 910 yards and seven touchdowns.
"Zach Miller is a proven veteran here," Winslow said. "Hopefully, we'll be able to do something like the Patriots are doing, with Gronkowski and Hernandez. We kind of fit that mold, so I'm sure we'll be fine."
However, Winslow, who turns 29 on July 21, could be losing a step. He has had six knee surgeries since he's been in the league, including reconstructive knee surgery after he tore his ACL in the motorcycle crash in 2005 while with Cleveland and microfracture knee surgery in 2007.
He also finished in the top 25 in the league in drops with five.
Carroll said the team is aware of Winslow's knee issues and will manage the situation.
"He's got some health issues that we're going to deal with, make sure we monitor them really well, so he can play his best," Carroll said. "We're absolutely tuned into it, and we know a lot about the history. We'll learn a lot more."
Winslow said he has developed an understanding of how to take care of his injury situation.
"I will have to manage my practice time, but ever since the accident, I do have to live with what I have," said Winslow, adding that he has played in all 16 games in five of his past six seasons.
"So I'll be OK. Just be smart with it, and I'll be there on Sunday."
Carroll said the quarterbacks in his three-way competition for the starting job split reps evenly this week, with Tarvaris Jackson, Matt Flynn and Russell Wilson each taking about a one-third of the reps with the first unit and Josh Portis mostly watching from the sideline.
"The first day was T-Jack's day," Carroll said. "The second day was Matt's day. And Russell got more shots with them today. And we'll continue to just rotate it like that.
"Again, it's to present the competition as balanced as we can. And we need to see them with all the guys."
Carroll would not put a time table on when he will make a decision on his starting quarterback, but he did say it will likely take exhibition games to make a final determination.
"I know we're going to need the games to see stuff," Carroll said. "These guys are going to do really well. They're not making a lot of mistakes. They're not way off base on any of the things that they're doing. Everybody is making good, solid progress, and I think it's going to continue to look like that. So it's likely going to go to games."
Seattle made room for Winslow on the 90-man roster by releasing tight end Cooper Helfet. The Seahawks also released offensive tackle Andrew Mitchell and replaced him on the roster with Central Washington University receiver Justin Helwege. An Eastlake High of Sammamish graduate, the 6-6 Helwege was invited as a tryout player to the Seahawks' rookie minicamp two weeks ago. Helwege led the Wildcats with 51 receptions for 717 yards and eight touchdowns last season. Carroll said offensive tackle James Carpenter ran for the first time Thursday and continues to show progress while rehabbing from ACL knee surgery. Offensive guard John Moffitt (knee) is full go and working at right guard with the first unit. Russell Okung is close to being cleared, but Frank Omiyale worked at left tackle with the first unit Thursday. Carroll said he is hopeful receiver Kris Durham (shoulder) is ready to go full speed next week, as well as rookie safety Winston Guy (shoulder). Receiver Golden Tate did not practice because he fell and injured his hand Wednesday, and the hand is in a cast. Carroll said he did not know how long Tate will be out. Rookie defensive end Bruce Irvin missed practice to attend the funeral of former West Virginia coach Bill Stewart. Defensive end Chris Clemons also missed the voluntary workout, but Carroll did not give a reason.

Next Step was founded in 2005 as a vehicle for ministry in the areas of evangelism, spiritual formation, and leadership development. It's been an amazing 8 years, full of challenges, surprises, and a great deal of meaning. Many of you have been with me from the beginning, some have come alongside me more recently, all of you have been wonderfully supportive.
Opportunities are currently unfolding that will necessitate a change in direction for Next Step. I'm shifting responsibility and will now be at the forefront of a new venture – A Wesleyan Accent – a web-based ministry providing free and subscription resources for Christian spiritual formation, catechesis, and discipleship in the Wesleyan way. It's my hope that by clearly articulating the Wesleyan understanding of Christian faith, A Wesleyan Accent will contribute significantly to the task of strengthening discipleship, empowering mission and evangelism, cultivating ministry gifts of young leaders, and nurturing the professional and service life of young theologians.
There will be two main areas of the WesleyanAccent.com site – free resources and information, and subscription resources. The free resources will include blogs, sermons, articles, book reviews, and videos from leading voices in the Wesleyan family. Discipleship in the Wesleyan Way will be the subscription portion the site. Individuals and churches will be able to purchase annual subscriptions, which will provide access to an extensive library of small group lessons on all aspects of Christian theology. Additionally, Discipleship in the Wesleyan Way will support discipleship and small group development by providing resources for both leaders and participants through a platform of customizable curriculum planning and private group portals for ongoing communication and additional resourcing.
I'm excited about this new phase of ministry. A Wesleyan Accent will launch in the fall and you'll be able to find us at www.wesleyanaccent.com. At that time, visitors to this site will be redirected to A Wesleyan Accent. In the meantime, if you're new to Next Step, I hope you'll explore the site as it is – there's a lot of great content here that will remain accessible to you throughout the transition phase and beyond.
Thanks again for your support. I look forward to continuing to serve through A Wesleyan Accent!

Super Sparkel -
WestTexasGal, Lubbock, Texas - 01/15/2013
My hubby gave me these earrings for my birthday at my request and I love them, They hang just right and have the most beautiful sparkel. The will catch the eye of anyone looking.
love them -
annie, nj - 01/05/2013
I love lever back drop earings because they are very comfortable. These are pretty and sparkly and appear to be about a carat and a half each. Not too big in my opinion. I think they look real, but if I was examining them on someone else I would guess they were fake only because the crown setting is not commonly used for real diamonds. All in all I am very pleased and I wear them every day.
Looks wonderful -

Beautiful -
LisaOK, Norman, OK - 04/13/2010
I fell in love with these earrings after seeing them on the red carpet. I waited until they came back in stock and jumped in and ordered them. They are beautiful and look so luxe. I wear them every day. A must have.
Thunder, Ogden, UT - 04/04/2010
These earrings are beautiful! They sit perfectly on the ear and are very comfortable to wear. Amazing display of color in all light sources. Will be purchasing the matching pendant.

Wolfgang Förstner and Juliang Shao, "Gabor Wavelets for Texture Edge Extraction", In ISPRS Commission III Symposium on Spatial Information from Digital Photogrammetry and Computer Vision. Munich, Germany 1994.
Textures in images have a natural order, both in orientation and multiple narrow-band frequency, which requires to employ multichannel local spatial/frequency filtering and orientation selectivity, and to have a multiscale characteristic. Each channel covers one part of whole frequency domain, which indicates different information for the different texton. Gabor filter, as a near orthogonal wavelet used in this paper, has orientation selectivity, multiscale property, linear phase and good localization both in spatial and frequency domains, which are suitable for texture analysis. Gabor filters are employed for clustering the similarity of same type of textons. Gaussian filters are also used for detection of normal image edges. Then hybrid texture and nontexture gradient measurement is based on fusion of the difference of amplitude of the filter responses between Gabor and Gaussian filters at neighboring pixels by mainly using average squared gradient. Normalization, beased on the noise response and based on maximum response are computed.

text: Ian Schrager is plagued by a lifelong curse. Whenever he's involved with a project, he can't help but obsess over every single detail. For a perfectionist like Schrager, there's always room for improvement. "It's not a gift, it's a curse," he insists. Sitting at the head of a conference room table in his New York City office in the West Village, Schrager admits to a visitor that he has made mistakes in his nearly 30 years as a boutique and lifestyle hotelier. Through his new brand Public, which debuted in October 2011, with the transformation of the Ambassador East Hotel in Chicago, Schrager intends to correct his missteps. One of those mistakes, he says, was not having a brand name. "There was no reason not to have a brand," says Schrager, who sold his company Morgans Hotel Group in 2005 to form the Ian Schrager Company. "I thought if I put a brand on something, people would think I was selling out. But as long as each property has integrity, it doesn't matter." Schrager and his late business partner Steve Rubell introduced the boutique hotel concept to the world when they opened Morgans Hotel in New York City in 1984. The explosive growth of boutique and lifestyle hotels since then has created what Schrager describes as a "Frankenstein monster" in the industry. Schrager's launch of the Public brand satisfies his desire to create a new genre of hotel, offering luxury service and a comfortable, stylish setting at an affordable price. He sees Public as a reimagining of the hotel space that is shared by successful brands like Courtyard by Marriott and Hilton Garden Inn. "Instead of fitting into an existing category of hotel, we're doing our own reimagining of it, taking the best from all the categories that are out there and rolling it in and making a new kind of product," Schrager says. "How about being in a less expensive hotel and having just as much sophistication as a luxury hotel, and having really great service and having all the exciting food and beverage concepts? That to me is a new idea, a new class of hotel." He seized the opportunity to offer a less expensive product with mass-market appeal. "People are very much into value," he explains. "I don't think it's about the cycle of the economy we're in. I think there's been a paradigm shift." Schrager cites Apple as a big inspiration behind this strategy. "Steve Jobs brought this great looking, elevated experience to the masses. That's what we want to do in this space." INTRODUCING PUBLIC When Schrager chose the Ambassador East Hotel and its storied Pump Room restaurant as the first location for Public, he knew the project would be a challenge. The iconic property was built in 1926 in the heart of Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood, and in its heyday played host to celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, John F. Kennedy, Dustin Hoffman, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, and many more. Schrager was aware that a lot of New York business people have gone to Chicago and failed, and he used to think Chicagoans would be gunning for a New Yorker like him. He recalls how enraged many city residents became when the Chicago-based Marshall Field's department store chain was acquired by the New York-founded chain Macy's in 2006. But after having spent more time in Chicago, where his wife, former ballet dancer Tania Wahlstedt, is from, he developed a better understanding of the city and its residents. Draws to the 285-room hotel for guests and locals alike include the Pump Room and its new food concept by world-renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. By day, the Library houses a coffee bar, and at night it transforms into a lounge and bar. A candlelit backroom off of the Library doubles as a screening room, where original performances, poetry readings, and video installations can be held. "Going into an icon that if I didn't do the right way I would have been run out of town on a rail was fun for me," Schrager says. "I think we did something that the people of Chicago embrace. If the people from the city you're in don't embrace and support that hotel, it can't be successful." OUT ON THE ROAD In the past, the perfectionist in Schrager caused him to sit on a new project for three or so years until it was stabilized and successful. Because of this, he believes his products became "a candy store for everybody else in the industry to come in and appropriate." To avoid a similar fate with Public, he plans to quickly roll out a lot of properties. "I want to get out there fast," he says, "before it becomes adopted by everybody else." Schrager already has two properties in the works in New York City. In spring, developer Durst Fetner Residential expects to break ground on a 600,000-square-foot mixed-use tower, just south of Herald Square, that will be anchored by a Public hotel. Schrager also is working on a second new-build Public in downtown Manhattan, but he declined to share specifics on the project. Both projects will take at least two to three years to complete. There are faster opportunities with converted properties, such as the Crowne Plaza in London that the Ian Schrager Company won a $119 million bid for in October. A conversion such as this one will take about 14 to 18 months to complete. "We're so into development and taking this idea and turning it into a silk purse, that it takes time for us to convert," he says. Schrager says his company is being aggressive about taking this new idea "out on the road." He is already looking to expand the brand in cities like Miami and Los Angeles, and is open to international opportunities as well. Over the next 10 years, he'd like to open 15 to 20 Public hotels. Having a fully integrated company, which owns, develops, manages, and brands hotels, as well as residential and mixed-use projects, provides a real opportunity to achieve product distinction, Schrager says. "And the hotel business is all about product distinction—nothing else matters. "It's not about the marketing, and it's not about the finance, and it's not about the reservation system," he continues. "It's all about having the best product out there and everything else seems to take care of itself. That's our priority and that's our culture." LESS IS MORE Schrager says his hotels were never about design, but rather the attitude and DNA of the product. Instead of focusing on the visual surfaces, it was more important for Schrager to forge an emotional connection with travelers, and to be innovative. "The tool of design is to be used to create a really simple, elegant, understandable product that resonates with people—not because we like the chandelier," he explains. Hotel design has greatly improved compared to 30 years ago, but Schrager says properties are all beginning to look alike again. For Public's design, Schrager opted for a restrained and understated approach, not wanting superfluous elements to obscure the essence of the product. His longtime design team, headed by Anda Andrei, spearheaded the pared down, purist look of the brand. "To me, less is better," he says. "And it's harder to do something simple." He quotes Leonardo da Vinci, who once said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Schrager strives to emulate that notion. Looking forward, he believes the hotel industry needs to return to the basics when it comes to boutique and lifestyle hotels. "Instead of looks and things that can be labeled, you have to instead rely on old-fashioned good taste and personal style, which is timeless and classic," he says, "and you purify that by making it as simple as you possibly can." LUXURY BRAND In December 2010, Schrager sold his interests in the Gramercy Park Hotel, which he had purchased and renovated in collaboration with artist Julian Schnabel in 2003, to focus on creating Public, as well as a new luxury brand. The luxury brand, which has a name but will not be announced until Schrager finds a first location, is a smaller market than Public. Schrager sees the space currently dominated by brands like Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Peninsula, and Mandarin as one that is ripe for innovation. While he says those brands are state of the art, he wants to create a luxury hotel he desires to stay in. "It's not that they don't do a good job and it's not that they don't offer luxury service," he says, "but it's not something that emotionally connects with me. And I think there's an opportunity there as well." The luxury hotels will have between 75 to 150 rooms and appeal to a new generation of travelers who can now afford and want luxury, Schrager says. And it's not the definition of luxury that was dreamed up half a century ago. "We all demand updated products in retail and cars and every other aspect of our life," he says. "Why not in our business? Why are we still doing things that worked for our parents and grandparents? Why aren't we doing something for a new generation of people?" A REPUTATION AT STAKE When Schrager is involved with a project, he views the product as an extension of himself. "If it's not well done or well received, it makes me look bad," Schrager says. "I don't care how much money it is, you have to do a great product and the money takes care of itself. I don't know if everybody thinks like that in big business, but that's the way I think. As long as I'm involved, to my dying breath, I will try and do as best and good a product as I can." Despite recent obstacles, Schrager remains fully committed to his partnership with Marriott on its fledgling lifestyle brand, Edition, which first debuted in Waikiki Beach in September 2010, and later opened in Istanbul in February 2011. The brand made plenty of headlines over the summer when Marriott lost control of the Waikiki Edition in August 2011, after the hotel's owners and affiliated partners installed new management, changed the locks, and renamed it Modern Honolulu. This occurred a few months after the owner filed a lawsuit against Marriott and Schrager claiming that the Edition brand was represented as a fully supported new lifestyle hotel brand in the Marriott family of brands, but that it turned out to be a "nonexistent hotel chain." To prevent Marriott from retaking management, the owner filed for bankruptcy, freezing any other legal orders for the time being. Marriott said it would pursue tens of millions of dollars of claims for damages to the brand and its company in bankruptcy court over time. In October 2011, Tim Miller, managing director and senior vice president of Edition, shared Marriott's plans to relaunch the brand using corporate funds. The Edition website lists properties "coming soon" in London, Miami Beach, Mexico City, Bangkok, and Barcelona. "They've shown their commitment to the brand by making several purchases," Schrager says. "They have a lot invested reputation-wise and a lot invested capital-wise. They haven't bought hotels in many years and they bought a whole bunch of hotels in major markets now for us to do. So they're really committed to it and so am I." It's no secret that Schrager thrives on dreaming up new ideas, from his famed nightclub Studio 54 in the late 1970s, to a throng of successful boutique and lifestyle hotels, to residential properties 40 Bond and Gramercy Park North. With his two new brands, Schrager finds it even more exciting because he can revitalize the hotel concept again. "I still love what I do," he says. "I'm not interested in just executing."

Became sultry and woodsy and fuzzy just like cashmere. Perfect name. I wear it to work everyday now and can't stop smelling my clothes! Give it a few minutes for the scent to change. You'll see.

I didn't know where to put this but I use a combination openbox/LXDE with a KDE backend(as in I use amarok and digikam in OB/LXDE with the KDE libraries in the background)
My question is I use PCmanFM and Dolphin and when I have my external plugged in the both have different amounts of space.
I set up 3 partitions (245GB NTFS for windows, 489GB BtsFS, and a 195GB BtsFS)
Dolphin sees each partition correctly But the numbers for PCmanFM
are 264gb NTFS for windows 526GB BtsFS and 211GB BtsFS
The hard drive in question is a 1TB western digital.
I really am wondering what is the difference in reading the sizes of the partitions in KDE compared to OB/LXDE like how does KDE do it compared to other WM/DM and which is the most reliable?

Where Do You Stand on Breastfeeding in Public?
A New England mother was asked to cover up while feeding her child at a restaurant this week.
The topic of breastfeeding in public forged into the spotlight in New England this week, after a mother chose to breastfeed her child in a Hillsborough, N.H. restaurant.
Protesters gathered outside the Tooky Mills Pub in Hillsborough on Wednesday, after a local mother was asked to cover up while breastfeeding her 10-month-old child, exposing a breast in the restaurant's dining room, according to a report on WCVB.com.
The request to cover up, which was followed by customer complaints, resulted in a protest outside the restaurant Wednesday night.
Those protestors spoke out in awareness and support of the mother, as well as in support of breastfeeding in public.
Where do you stand on this issue? Do you think mothers should be able to breastfeed their children in public with out debate? Do you agree with the decision by the staff at the New Hampshire restaurant?
6:30 am on Saturday, August 11, 2012
Ah, New Hampshire. "Live free or die." If you breast feed in public, your freedom is dead.
4:01 pm on Thursday, August 16, 2012
Men and their stupid comments......you have no idea what its like to need to feed your baby and be pregnant but you act all smart like you do and have the nerve to say dumb things like that..... appalling.

I am 100% all for breast feeding, however I do believe in public using a cover up while feeding is appropriate. I breasted my daughter, now age 7, and always had my cover up with me, and never had a problem feeding her wherever I went.
John Harris

Thank you, Kate. There are many things that humans do naturally, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't care about the feelings of those around us. That is what makes us civilized. I'm glad you showed the difference and led by example.

I totally agree with Kate Tracy. It's not the act of breast-feeding that is deemed inappropriate; it's the part of not covering up.

Really? Breast feeding is probably one of the most natural things on this planet for mothers and babies. Protesting? Really? Sheesh.

I have no issue it's a natural thing. There are alternatives like pumping and bringing bottles, but if a lady is covered up and not attracting attention what's the harm?

I nursed all three of my kids, but I also appreciate it when nursing women are discreet in public. It's a simple way to be considerate (particularly when you're in close quarters like a restaurant) while still meeting the baby's needs. "Dinner and a show" should just mean a meal out and a trip to the movies ;-)
9:25 am on Saturday, August 11, 2012
There is absolutely nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public. There is nothing more natural. And, when a baby is hungry, they need to eat! The same people who complain about public breastfeeding would probably be the first to complain if the baby started to cry/fuss out of hunger. Some people just like to complain.
I breastfed both of my children in all sorts of places and never had a problem at all. I used a nursing cover sometimes, but often I didn't. My kids were distracted by and bothered by blankets and covers and they were able to nurse more quickly and calmly without a cover. I did try to wear clothes that allowed me to nurse easily and discreetly. And, often moved myself off to a slighly more private location. But, I'm sure people caught a glimpse of a boob now and then! Who cares! We all have them.
One thing though about the article, you need to edit one sentence. The restaurant asked her to cover up following customer complaints. The request was not "followed by" complaints.
John Harris
8:09 pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012
You make some good points, but I disagree that breastfeeding in public ... in the US ... is natural. Breastfeeding is natural, of course; in Uganda it may be normal to do so in public. Here, as long as we have different social mores, public breastfeeding is not "normal", anymore than it is for me to pee against the side of the building, exposing myself to traffic. That's just the way it is. Until social norms change, discretion and consideration are needed.
10:39 pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012
John, it is normal. Stop and look around next time you are out and about. Particulary in our area of eastern MA, public breastfeeding is quite normal. Most people just don't notice. I have had the same experience as one of the other women, of having people coming right up to me while nursing and thinking that the baby was simply asleep in my arms. The vast majority of women nursing in public are so adept at it, that no one even notices!
9:52 am on Saturday, August 11, 2012
I covered up when nursing in public, usually. Or I would find a discreet spot, like a changing room in a store. But I have absolutely no problem with women who don't cover up. I know some babies freak out if you put a cover over them. The baby's head covers the breast anyway. I see women nursing in public often now. Once you've done it, you can spot it, where I never did before had kids. It is normal and not a big deal at all.
Jimmy Donnelly
9:59 am on Saturday, August 11, 2012
I think it's insulting that this question is even asked. Of course mothers should be able to do this when, where and how they want.
I was at the Hibernia Pub in Easton the other day and a mother changed a diaper on the seat next to her. The only good thing about that was that the soiled diaper smelled better than Hibernia's food.
John Harris
7:55 pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012
That should not have been allowed. It is a health code violation.
10:31 am on Saturday, August 11, 2012
I never covered up when I nursed my children (all 3 of them). A blanket or cover us never worked for me, not to mention it might as well be a blinking neon light telling everyone that I am nursing my child. I have nursed in resturants, playgrounds, parking lots, stores, you name it. I have had several people come up to me thinking my baby was sleeping while he / she was nursing. I believe a baby has a right to eat when they are hungry and a parent has the right to feed their baby even if someone might accidently see some breast.
11:00 am on Saturday, August 11, 2012
Who cares!? People need to simmer down. It's not like she was going topless.
Richard Archer
1:24 pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012
Oh my God...When will people stop even debating about breast feeding. The breast is just anoth part of the body and has a function. Good for all Moms that either breast feed or cover up. It's up to the Mom. I bet most of those that complain were probably breast fed in various places without any fanfare. It's natural and that's what right about it.
2:16 pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012
I breastfed my son until he was 19 months old. I was doing what has been PROVEN to be enormously beneficial to children. Though when he got that old I was only nursing him before bed, but when he was younger, I fed him wherever and however I could. Even without a cover-up. The fact that people have a problem with it, well, the problem is theirs.And it is absurd.
2:18 pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012
And the protesters were standing up FOR the mother in this article. They were protesting the restaurant for asking her to cover up. That makes more sense. :)
2:44 pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012
Do what you need to do to nourish another fellow human being ! I am so sick of this madonna/whore comlex dichotomy Americans have about women. In Europe and other cultures there is not this twisted dichotomy.

I can remember this topic of conversation being debated on late night TV a short time ago when one of the debaters stood up and yelled..."Masturbation is totally natural....but one refrains from doing it in public....passing gas is totally natural, but one refrains..or attempts to refrain from doing it in public!!!" Unfortunately we live in a society where there are alot of sikos and perverts who don't see it as "Something Natural" Personally, I'm not offended by it but with all due respect to all the woman here who do breast feed, maybe when you're going out it would be best to pump and use a bottle, rather than whipping a boob out to prove a point. I recently did see several folks who were offended by it and 3 of them walked over, sat down next to the woman and just stared until she just stopped. Different strokes for different folks I reckon. BTW, IMO Changing a child's soiled diaper at a public dinner table is gross and offensive. That's where I draw the line. If there is no changing facility in the restroom, try the car. I predict that there will be legislation on the public breastfeeding topic in the not to distant future if both side decide to push the issue.
10:15 pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012
Best to pump and use a bottle, rather than whipping a boob out to prove a point? Really? This is wrong on so very many levels. #1, women are not nursing to prove a point. They are feeding their child. #2, pumping and using a bottle is no where near as easy or practical as it sounds to someone who has never done so. Many breastfed babies do not take bottles well, especially from their mothers. For many breastfeeding women, pumping is not an easy task. It can literally take days to pump enough for one bottle for some women, if they are nursing babies fulltime. (It is different for those who are pumping in place of a feeding.) Breastmilk in a bottle needs to be kept cold, making it cumbersome to carry around. And... if out for more than a few hours, the mother would then have to pump for her own comfort and/or to maintain her milk supply. So, what? She feeds a baby a bottle (to please others) and then has to find somewhere to pump? Believe me, it is a heck of a lot easier to nurse discreetly than to pump discreetly!!
10:19 pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012
Also, there is legislation in place in most states that protects a women's right to breastfeed in public and private locations, including in both MA and NH. http://www.ncsl.org/issues-research/health/breastfeeding-state-laws.aspx
Anna Linzi
10:49 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
My kids wouldn't use a bottle when they were very young. Pumps cost a lot of money and aren't worthwhile unless you are going to use them a lot. Everybody else eats when they are hungry and a baby should also be able to. People who are uncomfortable with it can just turn away and not look. The mom is not trying to put on a show, the show comes when someone chooses to watch. Americans need to chill out... that's what the purpose of breasts is, not as a sex symbol. Women walk around in clothes that show a lot of skin, breastfeeding doesn't even show the nipple!! What's the difference? If it's the nipple, should men cover their nipples?
9:31 pm on Friday, August 17, 2012
I totally agree Todd. Great points. I don't think it should be illegal but I think restaurants have the right to address something that makes it's patrons uncomfortable. It borders on common sense and lack of consideration for others. There's just plenty of clothing and pump options nowadays to not be on full display. This isn't Europe. That's just the way American society is in general. Only in Mass would they try and make a political spectrum about legislation over this thinking it's going to start some national trend. It wouldn't shock me.
5:48 pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012
I breastfed my children and most of my friends did as well. I never had an issue in public. I was able to do it discreetly with or without the need of a cover/towel/blanket and could feed them anywhere imaginable....many, many times in restaurants. It is not hard to be discreet and the more practice you get the easier it is. With that said, I have seen women who just can't seem to be discreet, or maybe they just don't care to be, and are literally bare chested....(for instance; wearing a strapless top and pulling down a side!) Even then, she could have hiked it up and it would have looked better!
So, even though I do believe moms should try to be discreet, it's an all or nothing law...you can't start putting limitations on the type of attire or how much skin you are allowed to show. Breastfeeding is necessary, and if you don't like it, don't look. I just find it ridiculous that people complain about breastfeeding in public when it's perfectly fine for men and women of all sizes to wear the skimpiest of bathing suits on the beach or in beach restaurants! yikes! And as for the changing a diaper in the restaurant, whoa! That's disgusting! That is why there are restrooms and backseats of cars!! (**btw: if 3 people had the gall to come over to stare at me while breastfeeding, they would have barked up the wrong tree...no telling what I would have done or said!! wow! so rude.)

Maybe those folks find it rude that women find it necessary to breastfeed their children in public...once again, it's about respecting everyones point of view. If you don't want someone to stare at you, don't be in the publics eye!! They have just as much right to stare at you as you have to breastfeed in public. Strange how it works both ways!!
Jenn Harris
8:41 pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012
I have no problem with women breast feeding, I just feel if they want respect from people then they also need to respect others around them. If you are discreet about it and respectful then by all means have at it. I did work in the restaurant business in the past and for the most part women would come in and let us know that they would need to feed their child, so they would ask for a booth in the back of the restaurant so they were not a distraction to others or they would ask us if we had an area that was not being used for customers so they could use it. I understand some people are freaked out about it but come on it is all a part of life and you should be use to it.

I breast fed in public all of the time when I nursed both of my children, but I made sure to cover up. My goods are mine (and for that time my chldren's!) I didn't want anybody else getting free sneak peeks without at least buying me dinner first! JK! I didn't cover up for the sake of respecting others, I covered up to protect my privacy.
12:20 am on Sunday, August 12, 2012
I breastfed both of my children and I also have worked in restaurants for years. There is a difference between feeding your child and putting on a show. I have seen mothers purposely whip them out for all to see in the name of breastfeeding. That is just plain wrong. And from what I have seen about this story this woman was very visible in what she was doing. People are going out to enjoy themselves and many people feel uncomfortable seeing a womans bare breast. Use a cover up for goodness sake and there will be no problems.
Todd Arnold

EXACTLY Heather!! Unfortunately there are going to be those radical women out to prove a point and push the envelope and thats detrimental to those woman who do take the time to respect others space.

I think women should be able to be breastfeed in public. It would be more appropriate to use a little discretion on covering up, but when the baby is hungry it's a basic need to survive. Leave the women that want to breastfeed alone. As others have said, for other countries this isn't a problem. America has more freedom than most countries, what's the problem with breastfeeding.
Todd Arnold
8:25 am on Sunday, August 12, 2012
@Sarah..... Sarah..your making my point!! The operative word is "discreetly!" I totally disagree with you in regards to my interpretation of "Proving a point." The women here who mention "Covering up" are NOT the ones I refer to here. I know many a woman who breastfeed and agree that there are some folks out there who find public breastfeeding offensive. If one can't respect their point of view how do you expect them to respect your point of view? Why can't a nursing mother take the time to feed their child prior to going into the restaurant or any public place? Why can't the breastfeeding mother find a secluded place to breastfeed their child if some folks find it offensive? Why is it necessary to breastfeed a child in public? Just because someone claims this to be "Natural" doesn't make it appropriate for public viewing!! In regards to keeping the breast milk fresh...We have coolers with icepacks just like any other beverage of your choice. For every debate regarding public breastfeeding, there is a counter debate and comeback! As mentioned, it's all about respecting everyones point of view. Again What is "Natural to one might be offensive to others!!!
9:01 am on Sunday, August 12, 2012
Todd, babies needs to eat. Many young babies eat every 2 hours or less. Or, some nurse for comfort when teething. The choice is nurse or cry and disrupt everyone's meal. Or stay home. Thank goodness there is legislation that allows women to leave the home and feed their babies.
The other part is that lactating, being near a crying baby and NOT nursing is psychically uncomfortable. Pumping is something you do when the baby is not with you, so women who don't spend several hours regularly away from their babies (working, for example) don't or can't pump because the milk goes to the baby. Women who try to pump full time and bottle feed almost always fail very early on and end up giving up breastfeeding altogether. It is difficult and uncomfortable for most women who attempt it.
Mothers arrange their schedules around babies, when they can, but not around you.They don't have to stay home all day every day because you might be offended. If that offends you, stop looking.
Todd Arnold

@edna Just a bit off topic because I saw this situation a week or 2 ago. Crying babies in a restaurant when the parents can't control them. Two New mothers walked over to the table of the crying baby and said to the parent..and I quote.. "We left our children at home to get AWAY from this." The question is...is suckling a child the way to quiet a child in public as not to upset the others sitting around them?
If you look further into the several replies I posted, I'm NOT against public breastfeeding atol, I'm against women who aren't discreet about it, bare breast feed and hide behind "Legislation" that allows them to do such. I get a kick out of the little kids who yell out "Look mommy that lady is booby feeding"..lol.
Discretion is the better part of valor. As mentioned, if one chooses to breastfeed in public, expect to be stared at just like when famous people go out in public, expect paparazzi! LOL

The thing is, sometimes it is not a choice. The thing about babies is that they dont eat when they are not hungry- so timing is impossible. I would pump and have a bottle on hand sometimes, but when a baby IS hungry even after the bottle is gone, you have to feed him. In my own personal experiences, you are as discreet as you can be. My son hated being covered up, he would kick and wriggle the cover- up off as an infant. Oh well.
I have also left to nurse my baby in the car if we were out. Usually then you will be running the air conditioning or heat and sitting in the parking lot. Wicked awesome, especially when the ac is on the fritz.
Fundamentally, why should a tired nursing mom have to run around and try to hide something that is unavoidable, and unpredictable.
Nursing moms could stay home I guess. But, Daddies and Husbands, do you want to see how sane your wife will be without getting out for dinner once in a while to speak to a grown- up or two? :)

Rebecca is right about timing. I have seen mothers nurse their babies in public areas and most of them are very discreet when they do nurse. Those NH people should be pro-nursing in public.
PS: Do these same people exhibit excellent table manners themseives?

Oh my! Look how many opinions on how women nourish their babies are actually written by men!

Interesting perspective....I bet there wouldn't be that many "Men" commenting on the topic if the nourishment didn't take place in the public's eye by non discrete women...

It might prove an interesting exercise to try to separate sex and childcare in one's mind, whatever our gender.

2:00 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Where does sex come into this conversation??????....from the perspective of a heterosexual male...I'd be psyched if they made veterans memorial park a topless beach...Flashing and mooning legal...etc. C'mon everyone..this is a legitimate topic to debate. There are some, for their own reasons, who find it offensive that a mother decides to breastfeed in public without discretion.....Why is it they can't show breast on primetime TV, but it's ok to flash a boob in a public place to nourish a child. Once again..discretion it the better part of valor rather than it being done to prove a point.
12:18 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
This shouldn't even be a point of discussion! Women should be free to breast-feed their children whenever/wherever they need to. If they want/can cover up fine if not that is fine too. Americans, especially in the Northeast are sickeningly uptight Puritans about "what others should do" but look around at how people dress nowadays. I hope those that want to ban/restrict it (I'm sure that Sharon will do this) also have all their women covered from the neck to the toes at all time in public!

you mean like the dress code they want to implement at the middle school...?

Both sides should resprct one another, plain and simple. Descretion when feeding in public would be the proper thing. If a woman chooses not to cover up in public, my best guess is she is expecting a "reaction" from those who may be around her. You know, like "its my First Ammendent right" to express myself as I wish. Me, personally, I wouldn't give this self centered person any kind of reaction. It may be a "natural" thing to do, but, a lack of common sense prevails here. It's not about feeding the child. It's all about the person doing the feeding.
5:01 pm on Thursday, August 16, 2012
Or maybe she doesnt have a cover, or feel the need to hide. Its not like a mom is taking their top off and dancing around, they are slightly lifting or pulling down their shirt to feed their child.
5:00 pm on Thursday, August 16, 2012
You should be able to breast feed your child where ever and whenever your child is hungry and needs to. Its sad to see how so many "men" frown upon it. They are the ones that have sexualised the breast. It 'is' natural and made for the baby to feed from. Do we need to cover up animals feeding their children? Should you hide your mouth when you chew at a restaurant?
Todd Arnold
6:24 pm on Thursday, August 16, 2012
....and some "women" are just Dense and have tunnel vision totally NOT caring about anyones opinions and viewpoints but there own. I'd suggest reading the entire debate through from post number one before posting such selfishness.
Todd Arnold

Nothing like coming into the middle of a conversation..not bothering to have the courtesy to read everything...and putting in your pathetic 2 cents. It's NOT about feeding a baby...it's about respecting others...something obviously you can't grasp and had you read this in it's entirety you'd have seen what I've stated.....*Rolls eyes*
10:36 pm on Friday, August 17, 2012
Sorry Todd, but, no. It really is about feeding a baby.
Todd Arnold
3:22 pm on Saturday, August 18, 2012
so feed the baby discreetly as not to offend others....that seems to be a mantra here....
4:28 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
I breast feed my son for 3 years. I think it's ok as long as you cover up. I had one of those cover things. Sometimes my (easy to embarrass) husband didn't like it but by then he realized, give the boy some milk so he'd stop crying. I was always discreet. sometimes i would go to a bathroom, a mothers room or just out to my car.

This is great that people are talking about breastfeeding. I feel that even negative publicity is good publicity. And breastfeeding needs as much publicity as it can, good or bad. Because then it gets people thinking. If more people see women nurse their babies in public, then it will become the norm, and not some shocking behavior to witness. I breastfed my children for over 2 years each. Once an infant gets big enough that you cannot do it discreetly anymore (they are moving their head around, too big to hide under a shirt, etc...), then the baby is usually eating solid foods, drinking from a sippy cup and does not need to nurse as often and as urgently. So, if one goes out to dinner with that baby a mom can just time her nursing sessions around it. This is such a non-issue. I think the only time someone ever even knew I was nursing my baby was at the airport, a woman was walking by me a couple of times to try to figure out what I was doing. She wanted to actually confirm I was indeed breastfeeding so she could give me dirty looks, classic. And hey, why can men walk around outside without their shirts on but if a woman is nursing a hungry infant, that's offensive and shocking?
1:45 pm on Tuesday, January 8, 2013
Television makes breastfeeding a big joke as well. In an episode of Two and Half Men, a woman was breastfeeding her infant in a coffee shop with her tank top pulled down. Now who does that? Nobody does! In an episode of Nurse Jackie, an alcoholic woman was drinking vodka in the restroom and then went into the waiting area to nurse her infant. Nurse Jackie came to the rescue and told the woman to give the baby formula. That would never happen as alcohol dehydrates you so milk supply would be reduced..... and what falling down drunk would breastfeed their baby? Seriously. There is so much misinformation on television and even from medical professionals. In the last few thousand years of humanity, breastfeeding used to be what the poor and middle class did. The rich had wet nurses. When formula was introduced and Dr.'s encouraged women to purchase and feed infants formula, (getting kickbacks from the formula companies of course) it became the rich women's choice. Now, the tables seemed to have turned again as financially stable and educated women are nursing their infants while many others cannot due to lack of family support, education and/or they have to work.
1:47 pm on Tuesday, January 8, 2013
Talking about offensive, why don't we discuss teenage girls walking around with "Juicy" stamped on their behind, or teenage boys with their pants falling off showing their underwear, or how about the morbidly obese people I have to look at on a daily basis? What about half naked women on television, or the half naked, half starved women in advertisements, the current risque dialog on television today. Let's not even begin to talk about the violence. Hey, I have an idea, maybe if people just got over it, the epidemic of a few generations of children having all these ridiculous allergies will cease. During infancy, our immune systems are developing for life and what you feed your baby can help shape it.

While many brothers grow up as rivals, Paul and John Nunes instead became partners. With a love of wines and wide-open spaces, the two siblings decided to establish a winery rather than surrender 60 acres of family farmland to real estate developers. Today, their labor of love, Newport Vineyards, extracts an impressive roster of reds and whites from the trellises that crisscross the farm, spilling emerald floods of vines. The vineyard team nurtures the grape-heavy plants and keeps them from being recruited by gangs of raisins. The fruit eventually becomes wines such as the In The Buff chardonnay, which is fermented in stainless steel tanks to draw out a bouquet of aromas. The Gemini, one of John Nunes's favorite bottles, is a smooth blend of merlot and cabernet.
Most of the wines spend stints in French-oak barrels, which John points out as he leads tour groups across the grounds. At the rough-hewn wooden tables in the tasting room, glasses click together as the vineyard's staff shares anecdotes about each bottle's origins, aromas, and ideal food pairing. Wines by the flight or the glass match up with available boxed lunches, cheeses, or meats, which visitors enjoy under the tent in the wine garden, where they have a bird's-eye view of the grapes as they rehearse for roles in landscape paintings.
Carol Russell comes from a long line of winemakers—her father, Herbert, and grandfather, Max, crafted sparkling wine at their vineyard in New York. After dreaming of rebooting the family tradition for quite some time, she moved to farmland in Westport, Massachusetts, in 1982 and her family planted their first vines four years later. Today, the winery family cultivates 80 acres of grapes including chardonnay, pinot gris, pinot noir, and riesling.
Made through a combination of old-timey and contemporary techniques, the sparkling wines, table wines, and aperitifs have earned more than 20 gold medals and twice-filled glasses at the White House. Wine flows year-round at the Westport Rivers' store, which hosts tastings, an art gallery, and autumnal hayride vineyard tours where guests meet the giants who squash the grapes with a single stomp once a year.
The Coastal Wine Trail Market gathers together the appellation's nine coastal producers, whose vines speckle hillsides along the southern coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Each winery—Truro Vineyards, Travessia Winery, Coastal Vineyards, Running Brook Winery, Westport Rivers Vineyard & Winery, Sakonnet Vineyards, Greenvale Vineyards, Newport Vineyards, and Langworthy Farm Winery—sends representatives bearing bottles and fully housebroken grapes to the Westport Fairgrounds building. Under exposed beams, they greet guests alongside local chocolate, cheese, bread, and other culinary artisans, including Hearth Artisan Bread, Shy Brother's Farm, City Girl Cupcake, and Hana's Honey. Visitors may learn about and perhaps purchase each producer's favored libations—mostly whites and sparkling wines but a few reds—which are characterized by their growing proximity to the coastline and the dual-climatic influences of Gulf Stream waters and the screams of passing waterskiers.
A lifelong entrepreneur with a green thumb, Dave Neilson transformed Coastal Vineyards from an idea to a reality in 2004. Joined by his wife Linda, family, and friends, Dave continues to tend to his small but continually expanding winery, situated along southeastern New England's lengthy coastal wine trail. Like a shadow cast by Godzilla, the property's thriving vineyards cover eight acres, producing varietals including chardonnay, pinot gris, riesling, and merlot.
No matter the bottle, Dave's goal remains consistent: to lure every ounce of fruity zest from each varietal, specifically by blending flavors to create unique bouquets. To accomplish this, Coastal Vineyards utilizes a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels to ensure it consistently serves up a diverse repertoire of complex flavors, which can be bought or tested in the facility's tasting room when it swings open its doors on the weekends.
During the two-hour foray, samplers will tipple high-end wines with bite-sized pairings to match. Learn techniques for sampling wine, pairing tips, and which wine fits best in which glass (example: wine from a square box will not fit in a circular glass). There will be five or so wines to try, which you can read about in vivid detail here to prep your buds for the journey ahead. After your palatal field trip is complete, you can pick up a bottle of your favorite sampled wine for $10 off retail. Bottles range from $16 to $30.
Home to more than 100 varieties of tea, Herbal Infusions Tea Co. immerses visitors in all things tea.

They also sell tea-making accessories such as teapots and filters.

Interactive Molly Mouse Project Wins Walt Disney Imagineering Competition
Walt Disney Imagineering recently wrapped up their annual ImagiNations Design Competition and they have a winner: a North Carolina State University team with a unique story to tell.
Every year, college students from around the country are challenged to conceive and propose a new Disney theme park, attraction, restaurant, resort hotel, product or other themed entertainment experience. For the first time ever, participants were given a specific scenario around which to build their project: How would Disney entertain humans living on the moon in the year 3011? Note: This program is a limited exception to Disneys policy of not accepting unsolicited ideas, and the goal is to encourage participants to exhibit their creative, technical and collaborative skills rather than produce plans for actual development.
The winning North Carolina State University team presented The Mind of Molly Mouse an interactive adventure that tells the story of a descendant of Mickey Mouse. Judges declared the project inventive and different and a great approach to diversity.
Second place went to students from Carnegie Mellon University for Create the Night, a nighttime spectacular set in an underground lunar city. And a team from Utah State University took third place with a project called Disney Cruiseline: The Oneiro, a guided tour company that explores the solar system.
The top three teams took home trophies and cash prizes, and all finalists, regardless of how they placed, had the opportunity to interview for paid Disney internships.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

The 2012 Fine Wine Festival returns Nov. 4 and brings with it a special Patron's Party on Oct. 25 — both events will offer Rome residents a chance to sample some of the best of high-end wines from around the world as well as gourmet appetizers.
The festival is a benefit for the Rome Symphony Orchestra, an organization dedicated to enriching the cultural life of Northwest Georgia by providing quality musical programs and by cultivating and expanding musical appreciation.
"We hope people will realize the importance our placement in the community," said symphony president Barbara Beninato. "All the money we get from fundraisers like this go to programming — concert costs."
Beninato said Rome residents may not realize how much money it takes to put on the concerts and other programs the symphony provides to community members.
Patron's Party
The festival kicks off Oct. 25 with an event designed around the area's discriminating wine aficionados. A Patron's Party will be held at the Woodlee Culinary Arts Center, a part of Georgia Northwestern Technical College. This year's theme is "Classic Wines from Around the World." Two white wines and six reds representing eight countries will be featured at the Patron Party. All the wines are high end selections to properly showcase the finest attributes of the grape and style unique to each region.
Those wines include a Gunderloch Riesling Spatlese from the Rheinhessen region of Germany. The late harvest Riesling is described as opulent and concentrated, exhibiting mango, passion fruit and herbal aromas and flavors.
Another wine available at the Patron's Party will be Don Nicanor Nieto Senetiner Malbec, from the Mendoza region of Argentina. The full bodied wine is described as robust and jammy with flavors of plums and dark red fruits.
Throughout the evening, patrons will be able to sample all the fine wines as well as an array of food offerings including beef tenderloin, stuffed shrimp, international cheeses, hors d'oeuvres and dessert. Chef Greg Paulson and students of the culinary program at GNTC will be preparing and serving most of the culinary offerings along with Chef Matthew Wood of Coosa Country Club.
Wine tasting and silent auction
The main event of the festival takes place Nov. 4 from 3-6 p.m. at the Forrest Place Ballrooms on Broad Street. Rome residents will be able to sample from a variety of more than 70 wines from around the world as well as a variety of food from local restaurants and caterers. Each guest will receive a complimentary wine glass.
Guests can also browse a wide selection of items in the silent auction — from original oil paintings to jewelry and even vacations.
All proceeds from the event benefit the Rome Symphony Orchestra.
"This is just a great event," Beninato said. "We're lucky and pleased that we're the beneficiary of it. There's great wine and food and it's a fun social event. We're happy to partner with the Woodlee culinary students who get the chance to combine their coursework with this event. It benefits both of us. And of course our distributors really enjoy coming to Rome. They say the caliber of our festival is some of the best they've seen."
Festival tickets are $95 for the Patron's Party on Oct. 25 and $50 in advance for the main wine tasting event on Nov. 4 at the Forrest Place Ballrooms. At-door tickets for the tasting are $60.
Advance tickets for the Patron's Party and the tasting are available online at romesymphony.org under Special Events or by calling 706-291-7967. Patron Party tickets are limited.

That is not relevant.
Of course the 4 UK associations are autonomous as their autonomy has been recognized in the FIFA statutes.
Common usage of the term "country" to refer to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland does not cut the mustard in regards to what FIFA define as a "country" 'it shall refer to an independent state recognised by the international community.'
One British nationality for 4 associations does not meet that definition.
Therefore there is a ruling inserted into the statutes
'Each of the four British Associations is recognised as a separate Member of FIFA.

A New Berlin physician has been convicted by a federal jury on 16 counts of dispensing powerful painkillers without a legitimate medical purpose in violation of federal law.
Roger A. Pellmann, 55, who owns the Center for Medical Imaging and Vein and Laser Skin Care Clinics in Germantown, faces up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine when he is sentenced Sept. 17 by Chief U.S. District Judge Charles Clevert. The verdict was announced late Friday.
Pellmann gave large levels of painkilling narcotics to a nurse who worked for his clinics, according to court documents, illegally dispensing fentanyl and morphine between July and November of last year, according to court records.
Pellmann remains free prior to sentencing.
