BUFFALO, NY-- The phenomenon of the food truck is starting to catch on in Buffalo. And the latest diner on wheels is driven by an experienced Buffalo-born chef with a desire to give back to her hometown.
Chef Kathleen Haggerty is a Buffalonian, born and raised, who graduated from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America before owning her own successful deli in Seattle. So you could say, she's got "street cred". Chef Haggerty is the founder, owner and operator of Buffalo's newest mobile food truck called "The Whole Hog."
To watch Maryalice Demler's report click on video above.
You can find The Whole Hog truck in downtown Buffalo at lunchtime on Thursday and Fridays at Fireman's Park on Ellicott Street between North and South Division.

The high school football season will meet its halfway point this weekend, which means a large dose of non-league games and a few league matchups on the area's docket.
Eight games make up this week's schedule, with tonight's Division II crossover game between II-B team Cumberland and II-A squad Mount Hope in Bristol and tomorrow's Division IV duel between Central Falls and Hope in Providence highlighting the top local games.
Also on tap tonight is a non-league affair between Division II Shea and Division III Tiverton at Max Read Field, another non-league tilt at Pierce Field between Division I East Providence and Division II Westerly, and a Division III contest between Lincoln and Middletown at the Islanders' Gaudet Middle School complex. The first three games are slated for 7 p.m., while the Lincoln-Middletown contest takes place at 4 p.m.
Joining the 1:30 p.m. Central Falls-Hope showdown tomorrow is a 10:30 a.m. non-league game in Burrillville between the Division III Broncos and Division IV Exeter/West Greenwich, and a 4 p.m. Division IV contest in North Smithfield pitting the Northmen and Providence Country Day/Wheeler School/Juanita Sanchez co-op team.
Woonsocket and St. Raphael have bye weeks.
Here's a brief look at this weekend's games:
Cumberland at Mount Hope
All signs are pointing to a Cumberland-Johnston Super Bowl matchup in December, and for good reason. Both teams are 4-0 in their respective parts of the division, with the Clippers outscoring their opposition, 132-12, and the II-A Panthers doing likewise by a 148-14 margin.
But if the Clippers end up playing bonus football after Thanksgiving, they might be looking at a opening-round matchup against the Huskies, who are 2-2 and fresh off back-to-back, three-touchdown victories over Chariho and Woonsocket. Mount Hope tailback Jesse Raiola has totaled five touchdowns and rushed for 225 yards in the past two weeks, and the Clippers' 'D' will certainly have their sights set on containing him.
Offensively, the Clippers will be looking for a big night from their quarterback, Brendan Guerin, who has thrown nine touchdown passes this year and completed the bulk of his throws to Trent Vasey and Mitchell Baxter. Cumberland's ground game has also averaged 148 yards per contest and could improve on that mark this weekend.
Tiverton at Shea
It's been awfully tough to figure out what kind of team Shea has this season. Is it the team that soundly knocked West Warwick from the unbeaten ranks two weeks ago, 42-14, or is it the team that played poorly in recent losses to Central and Rogers?
The Raiders (2-2) will get a week off from their Division II-B slate to take on Tiverton, which is 1-4 and losers of three straight. The Raiders has had a history of success against the Tigers, and a strong performance here could help them for lies ahead in the upcoming weeks.
See CLIPPERS, page C6
A week from Saturday, the Raiders will face St. Raphael at Pariseau Field for the first time in several seasons. The Saints are also 2-2 and in a four-way tie for third place with the Raiders, Rogers, and Central. The Raiders will certainly need to win this game to keep their postseason hopes burning, for the following week, they will face Cumberland at Tucker Field.
Central Falls at Hope
The Warriors, who are 2-1 and sitting in fourth place in their division, could also use a quality win in their matchup with the Blue Wave, who are 3-1 and tied for second place with Smithfield, which already topped the Warriors in their division opener last month. A win by the Warriors will certainly pay dividends if they find themselves needing to win a head-to-head tiebreaker with Hope come playoff time.
The last three games between these two longtime rivals have been defensive battles, with both teams combining for no more than 30 points in each contest, but that could change this weekend. Both teams are averaging over 31 points per game, and while the Blue Wave have also allowed more than 30 points per contest, the Warriors have surrendered an average of 20.6.
Offensively, the Warriors have also been sparked by their quarterback, Brandon Canuto, who has thrown nine TD passes, and Odair Semedo, who has reeled in five of them. Hope's top offensive threat is speedy tailback Delonce Wright, who has scored 11 touchdowns and is already zeroing in on 1,000 yard rushing.
PCD/Wheeler/J.S. at North Smithfield
The Northmen enter this weekend with a 2-2 mark and losses to Hope and undefeated Mount Pleasant on the wrong side of their record. Luckily for them, they get to play their co-op rivals, who are 0-4 and have been abysmal on defense, surrending a whopping 233 points.
But PCD/Wheeler/Juanita Sanchez can also score points in bunches, and the team's 36.0 points-per-game average is a hair behind the Blue Wave's league-leading 36.2 mark. A strong defensive performance by the Northmen and big games by running back Paris Correia and quarterback Dan Jordan will be needed if N.S. hopes to avoid an upset loss.
After this game, the Northmen will have a bye week, followed by two big games on the road in November that will determine their playoff fate. On Nov. 2, they will visit Smithfield, and the following Friday night, they will bus to Macomber Stadium to tangle with Central Falls.
Barrington at Tolman; Westerly at E.P.
It's been a very tough season for Tolman and East Providence, who along with Cranston West and South Kingstown, are still searching for their first victories in Division I play.
The Tigers, who are 0-4 in their first season as a Division I team, will play the other three winless teams over the next three weekends, but tonight, they will take on a 2-1 Barrington team that they are quite familar with, having playing the Eagles in non-league games over the past several years. Barrington quarterback Jake Simmons is having a superb season with his arm as well as his feet.
The Townies, who are 0-3 in the division (0-5 overall) and enduring their worst season in several decades, will face a tough Division II-A team in the Bulldogs, who are 3-1 and in second place. The following week, E.P. will face the Tigers at Pariseau Field.
Lincoln at Middletown; EWG at Burrillville
For the second straight year, it looks like the area will not have a representative in the Division III playoffs. Both the Lions and Broncos are 0-3 in the division and going through growing pains with their young rosters.
The Lions have a tough test awaiting them in the Islanders, who are 4-0 and tied for first place with also-unbeaten East Greenwich. Middletown has outscored its opponents, 175-48, and boasts two running backs with 10 touchdowns each in Randolph Butler and Connor Russ.
The Broncos have an interesting matchup with the Scarlet Knights, who are in the hunt for a Division IV playoff berth and one of that division's top offensive teams. The Broncos are coming off back-to-back losses to Classical and Narragansett that they lost by a total of 10 points. Will their third straight home game be the charm for them?

I'm at the beginning of my career and I'm currently looking for jobs. I know that the farther you get away from college graduation, the more employers look at your experience as opposed to your actual degree. I'm wondering with the ultimate goal of being in software engineering/computer science, would taking a job in the IT field limit my options of getting into software engineering? Likewise would taking a job in software quality assurance limit me from pursuing a development position later, even though both are in software engineering?
closed as primarily opinion-based by Ixrec, MichaelT, GlenH7, durron597, Yannis♦ Jun 2 at 7:55
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Yes, if you stick to a single platform/technology/domain long enough you will gain expertise but will be limiting your scope and exposure.
But often you would find people find it easier to change their career path in the early stages keeping with their interest and motivated by the need for professional development.
Taking a job in SQA would only increase your awareness enrich your work as main developer .Any experience is valuable its up to you how much you can utilize it.
It is easy to get typecast into roles. I have a friend who is a good developer, but he took a job as a tester out of college because the economy wasn't very good. Ever since then, most employers see his experience as a tester and automatically want to hire him for testing positions.
That said, I've seen multiple instances of QA engineers making the move over to a software engineering position, but this is usually by moving to an internal opening in the company, rather than the person applying to somewhere else as a developer. It's easier to switch roles inside the company because the people there know the employee and the quality of his/her work. Another way to switch is to go for higher education to further develop one's software expertise. In any case, I do think that the more you work in a field, the harder it is to switch.
It's how you show what you have gained. You're always going to learn a lot in each position you work in. If you take a QA job and then apply for a software engineering position later on, do your best to communicate the commonalities between the QA role and the software engineering position.
Both roles, for example, require:
Taking any job you're offered (while still keeping your end goal in mind) is the ideal step to launch your professional career.
Well, my story is that I got an engineering degree in 2000 (with some emphasis on computer science), and landed my first job as an engineering and general IT support person. A couple of years into that, I started developing the company intranet, and in 2006 decided I could go full time. After a move in country (unrelated other than to explain a gap in my employment), I've been in full-time development positions since 2007.
So, it is possible to break into development from general IT - but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. The breakpoint for me was being in the right place, and having the smarts to pickup the intranet project when it was needed - it was unbudgeted, and so I had no targets to meet, and was able to figure my way through it and develop a fairly robust system over four years.
If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't go this route - I did it because when I was 18 and 21 and choosing my next step, I didn't know where I wanted to be after those steps (I'm a bit clearer on where I want to be these days). If you've got a definite career goal, then you should work as direct a route to that as possible.
I'm going to join in the crowd and say, in my experience, it is very easy to become locked into a career path by choosing a job that isn't what you want to do. It can be difficult to keep yourself from being locked into a particular PART of a development team in the job you want.
All that said, you will find people that make huge leaps into different fields. It is, however, pretty rare. In the current economy it may be beyond rare, as most employers will have plenty of applicants to choose from. You can set yourself apart if you try and maintain a connection to your desired field as a hobby, or side-job contracting. Maybe contributing to open source software, writing things at home, etc.
Personally I would try to hold out for a pretty good fit.. maybe not the perfect dream-job, but something a future employer would see as a minor change career-wise, not a huge leap. I think the prospects of a test-engineer/programmer being hired as a design engineer/programmer would be much higher than an IT worker making the same move.
Good luck
Recently begun a shift in career. I've been coding software and web sites for about 15 years but the more recent years have left me looking like a mid-range web developer instead of business software project leader.
I had an odd string of interviews and resume remixes for a while. Finally what helped was a mix of a couple freelance projects to refer to as my most recent work and taking a slight hit in income to get a 'senior' job with a smaller outfit for one 6-month project.
This allowed me to show myself in a different light to employers within a fairly short amount of time.

2-On-Your-Side's Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle breakdown the Bills as they get ready to take on the Cowboys in Dallas.
Buffalo is coming off a tough 27-11 loss to the New York Jets in Orchard Park that dropped them to 5-3 on the season and into what is now a three way tie with New England and New York atop the AFC East.
The game at Dallas on Sunday is the first of three straight and four of five games on the road for the Bills. The Bills play at Miami, and at the Meadowlands against the Jets following Sunday's game at Dallas. It's a stretch that will likely go a long way toward determining their playoff fate.
Adam and Sal tape a new roundtable each Wednesday after the open locker room session in Orchard Park prior to the Bills practice. WGRZ-TV and the Rochester D&C continue to combine resources to bring you enhanced Bills coverage on-air and online all season long.

The Plus 50 program was started nationally in 2008 to help laid-off workers get back to the labor force. It has expanded beyond workforce training and career development to include learning and enrichment and volunteering for the group often referred to as "age-less learners." More than 21 percent of Virginia's part-time college students are over the age of 40, according to the American Association of Community Colleges 2012 statistics.
Going to college at any age can be a challenge. For those returning to school after years of working a job or managing a home and family, even going through the enrollment process can be demanding. Virginia Western Community College (VWCC) recognizes this, which is why in spring 2013 the college became part of the American Association of Community Colleges' Plus 50 Initiative.
If you're one of 37 million adults age 50 and older who have never attended college or who attended but never received a degree — or one of millions more who need a new skill for a changing job market - Virginia Western can pave the way to completion.
Key questions to think about. For answers to many of these questions, please refer to the Plus 50 Ageless Learner guidebook.
Suggestions for ageless learners from VWCC's New Student Advising Center:
While Plus 50 does NOT include tuition support, Virginia Western Community College does provides services that make it easier than ever for adult learners to earn credit for their past education and work experience. So take your knowledge to the next degree. Contact Virginia Western today.

CLEVELAND -- The National Association of School Counselors offers several tips for parents on how to explain the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting tragedy to childrenof all ages.
Be reassuring. Children take their emotional cues from the significant adults in their lives. Your reactions are most important. Recognize that some children may be concerned about something bad happening to themselves, family or friends. Explain to them the safety measures in place and reassure them that you and other adults will take care of them.
Be a good listener and observer. Let children guide you to learn how concerned they are or how much information they need. If they are not focused on the tragedy, do not dwell on it. However, be available to answer their questions to the best of your ability. Young children may not be able to express themselves verbally. Pay attention to changes in their behavior or social interactions.
Monitor the news. Images of a disaster or crisis event can become overwhelming, especially if watched repetitively. Young children in particular may not be able to distinguish between images on television and their personal reality. Older children may choose to watch the news, but be available to discuss what they see and to help put it into perspective.
Emphasize people's resiliency. Help children understand the ability of people to come through a tragic event and go on with their lives. Focus on children's own competencies in terms of how they coped in daily life during difficult times. In age-appropriate terms, identify other crises from which people, communities, or countries have recovered.
Highlight people's compassion and humanity. Large-scale tragedies often generate a tremendous outpouring of caring and support from around the country and world. Focus on the help and hopeful thoughts being offered to those affected by other people.
Maintain as much continuity and normalcy as possible. Allowing children to deal with their reactions is important but so is providing a sense of normalcy. Routine family activities, classes, after-school activities, and friends can help children feel more secure and better able to function.
Spend family time. Being with family is always important in difficult or sad times. Even if your children are not significantly impacted by this tragedy, this may be a good opportunity to participate in and to appreciate family life. Doing things together reinforces children's sense of stability and connectedness.
Do something positive with your children to help others in need. Taking action is one of the most powerful ways to help children feel more in control and to build a stronger sense of connection. Suggestions include making individual donations to prevention or support agencies, holding a school or community fundraiser, or even working to support families in need within the community.
Ask for help if you or your children need it. Any tragedy can feel overwhelming for families directly affected, particularly those who have lost loved ones. Staying connected to your community can be extremely helpful. It may also be important to seek additional support from a mental health professional to cope with overwhelming feelings.
Communicate with your school. Children directly impacted by the disaster may be under a great deal of stress that can be very disruptive to learning. Teachers should determine what extra support or leniency students need and work with parents to develop a plan to help students keep up with their work. Your school psychologist, social worker, or counselor can also provide extra support.
Understand the grief process. Grieving is a process, not an event. Everyone grieves differently, and not all children within a developmental age group understand death in the same way or with the same feelings.A child's view of death is shaped by their unique perspective of the world and experiences.
Be aware of your own needs. Don't ignore your own feelings of anxiety, grief, and anger. Talking to friends, family members, religious leaders, and mental health counselors can help. It is important to let your children know that you are sad. Understand that if you lost family or friends, just getting through the day can be overwhelming. You will be better able to support your children if you can express your own emotions in a productive manner. Get appropriate sleep, nutrition, and exercise.

2. Gregor Mackintosh (Paradise Lost) - created a genre of music and is unique in his style, plays everything from slow to mid-tempo to fast with equal ease and awesomeness.
3. Dushan Petrossi (Magic Kingdom, Iron Mask) - He's often compared to Yngwie Malmsteen, except he writes more accessible stuff while remaining awesome. I only vaguely know his Magic Kingdom stuff though, I'm more impressed with Iron Mask.
4. Kai Hansen - Need I say more? Another innovative, versatile player.
5. Victor Smolski (Rage) - He's simply amazing. The last album Strings To A Web is again full of mind-blowing guitar, and he manages to make it fit with the music. No more I can say really.

"Completing our merger with Constellation is a major objective of Exelon's growth strategy, and we are pleased to announce this settlement today," said Exelon President and COO Christopher M. Crane. "We recognize that addressing the reasonable interests of the State of Maryland is an important element of the merger approval process. We listened carefully to questions posed by the Maryland Public Service Commission and the other parties during our merger proceeding, and we've been engaged in discussions with the State of Maryland, City of Baltimore and others to understand their needs and expectations for this merger. As a result, we enhanced the already robust package of benefits that the merger will provide for the State of Maryland and BGE customers."
In the settlement, Exelon commits to:• Develop 285-300 megawatts (MW) of new generation in Maryland, including 165-180 MW of renewable generation and 120 MW of gas-fired generation. The new generation projects will be built within the state, are expected to create more than 2,800 local jobs, and will benefit BGE customers and the public by helping Maryland transition toward renewable forms of electricity. The total investment in energy generation is at least $625 million. • Contribute $32 million for offshore wind research and development – Exelon will assist the State of Maryland in its efforts to develop a major offshore wind energy project. Of the $32 million, $2 million will be awarded to a Maryland institution of higher learning to facilitate research on wind energy applications. This initiative is expected to create about 430 jobs in Maryland.• Provide $50 million to weatherize and provide energy-conservation measures for 12,500 low-to-moderate income homes, helping make up for cuts in federal funding for this purpose. This initiative is expected to create nearly 500 jobs in Maryland.• Further measures to preserve BGE as a leading Maryland company – Exelon will take numerous steps to ensure BGE remains a strong company, responsive to the Maryland communities it serves as well as its employees. Among the commitments included in the settlement is BGE maintaining its capital and operations and maintenance spending and paying no dividends to Exelon through 2014, to continue to support its high level of investment in smart meters, reliability and other key initiatives.
"The Exelon-Constellation merger, once completed, will serve as the catalyst for a wide array of energy initiatives in Maryland," said Mayo A. Shattuck III, chairman, president and CEO of Constellation. "In turn, these will create jobs and economic activity in the state, while helping Maryland achieve its clean energy and environmental goals."
The 285-300 MW of new generation offered by the companies as part of this settlement includes 165-180 MW of renewables, including wind, solar and energy generated from poultry litter; this represents 140 MW of renewables above the companies' original 25 MW proposal. It also includes 120 MW of natural gas generation developed by 2015. As an added benefit, the poultry litter project is expected to reduce pollution negatively affecting Chesapeake Bay.
Additionally, the settlement includes commitments previously put forth by Exelon and Constellation, including:• $112 million to fund a $100 rate credit for each BGE residential customer within 90 days after consummating the merger• $95-120 million for the construction of a new headquarters building in downtown Baltimore• A $10 million contribution toward the Electric Universal Service Program• A $10 million contribution toward EmPower Maryland energy-efficiency programsIn addition, the companies have committed to maintain charitable giving at an average level of $7 million per year for at least 10 years, for a total of $70 million.
"Exelon continues to serve as an economic engine making large-scale investments and contributions in the key states where it operates," said Crane. "Under the merger settlement we are announcing today, so long as it is approved, Exelon will be able to play a similar economic investment role in Maryland. We are hopeful other parties will review this offer and join in the settlement."
The settlement requires approval by the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC), and a filing seeking the PSC's approval will be made shortly.
In addition to the companies' merger filing with the Maryland PSC, Exelon and Constellation made other regulatory filings in support of their proposed merger. On Aug. 3, the Public Utility Commission of Texas approved the merger. The merger also requires regulatory approvals by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the New York State Public Service Commission and the Department of Justice. Shareholders of both companies overwhelmingly approved the transaction on Nov. 17. Pending all required approvals, Exelon and Constellation expect to complete their merger in early 2012.

Sales tax collections were up for Lewis and St. Lawrence counties in the second quarter of 2013, while Jefferson County experienced a significant dip in revenue.
Down by nearly 2 percent compared with the same period last year, Jefferson County is projecting a budget shortfall of $538,226 to $817,328 by years end, according to Scott A. Gray, chairman of the Board of Legislators Finance and Rules Committee.
We would have to gain tremendous ground in order to have any increase and we would consider ourselves fortunate if we even make budget this year, Mr. Gray said in an email to legislators.
The quarter started out well enough, with $2.5 million collected in April, 6 percent more than last year, and $2.7 million collected in May, 12 percent more than 2012.
But the county collected only $3,151,020 in sales tax revenue in June, a startling 20.72 percent less than in 2012.
For 2013 thus far, the county has collected $15,992,996 1.94 percent less than last year.
In November, the county halved a proposed 4.4 increase in its tax levy the amount to be raised by taxes in part by increasing the prediction of how much money the county would take in from sales tax in 2013.
Now that calculus apparently has changed.
Last year might have been an anomaly, Mr. Gray said. We have to recalibrate ourselves for budgeting purposes. Its going to be even more difficult to hold the line on property tax for the upcoming budget cycle. Sales tax as a source of increasing revenue is not workable.
There was a ray of light, however, as Mr. Gray pointed out that although the county is experiencing a dip in sales tax revenue this year, it still is collecting more than it had in all years before 2012.
The numbers told a different story in St. Lawrence County, where total quarterly receipts showed an increase of 3.22 percent, or $337,785.71, over the same period last year. For the year so far, the county showed a gain of 2.55 percent, or $525,444.24, over last year.
Excellent, County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said. We are delighted to see sales tax is up, because it means increased economic activity in St. Lawrence County. Whenever theres an increase in sales tax, its a good sign.
Ms. St. Hilaire said she thought the increase could be attributed to increased visits to the county by Canadians and others and is a general sign of improving business activity.
Its a sign were rebounding from the 2008 recession, she said.
At $21,117,863.20 for 2013 collected so far which the county shares with towns, villages and the city of Ogdensburg the amount of sales tax the county will receive is about half of the $21,050,000 it budgeted for the year.
Were about $50,000 up, which is always good, Ms. St. Hilaire said. Im very happy with that.
In Lewis County, quarterly receipts showed an increase of 3.38 percent, or $84,853.51, over the same period last year. For the year so far, the county showed a gain of 4.55 percent, or $217,436.54, over last year.

By KEN LARSONSun Advocate publisher
"Richard Jewkes is a wealth of knowledge and a wealth of programs," says Nancy Bentley, director of Active Re-Entry. Jewkes heads up two very valuable programs through the Active Re-Entry Program, the Senior Advocates and the Ombudsman Program.
As a senior advocate Jewkes helps assist seniors with a variety of questions, everything from their medicaid and medicare programs to railroad pensions and retirement. "If I don't have the answer I will research the question and come up with answers for them," he said Tuesday as he explained the Senior Advocate Program. As an advocate Jewkes also works with Larry Heaton at Adult Protective Services for Carbon and Emery counties. Part of their job is to visit all the senior centers in the two counties and present program to the seniors. Topics consist of themes of exploitation fraud, schemes and scams against seniors. "We help make the seniors aware of what's going on and keep them abreast of new developments," he explained. Part of the presentations also deal with making sure that seniors are aware that all contractors need to be bonded and licensed. Questions around the construction of roofing, electrical, plumbing and contracted labor are all answered by Jewkes, as it related to scams and schemes targeted at the senior population.
Jewkes also serves as the Carbon and Emery county Ombudsman. Sanctioned by the Older American's act back in the 1960's the Ombudsman program has authority under federal and state laws to receive, investigate and resolve problems by or on behalf of residents in nursing homes, residential care homes, or any living arrangement in the community through which room and personal care services are provided for elderly residents.
Jewkes acts as a mediator assisting in the resolution of problems around nursing homes or housing.
"They often turn to me for help when there are problems with personnel, family or financial, and I work with both sides to come up with answers."
Jewkes spent 32 years as a state employee with the Utah transportation division.
"I was always interested in advocacy and disability committees and most recently served on the governor's committee for the blind"
He has been part of the Active Re-Entry team for five years and he and his wife, Myrna, have raised their four children in Carbon county. Legally blind for the past 30 years, Jewkes has been totally blind for the past 10 or 15 years. He works with a number of mechanical devices and recorders to make his job as an advocate easier. "This voicemate has 200 numbers programed in it and also all my appointments," he explained, laughing that it even beeps him to remind him of upcoming meetings.
The Jewkes are invited to a lot of classes and schools to talk about blindness and people with disabilities. "A good time to work with people is to teach them as children about techniques people with disabilities must use to help keep people independent.
"I enjoy what I do and stay very active in politics, my church and the community," said Jewkes, summing up the situation.

Let me be honest here. I thought there would be more mittens. Last year I felt like I knit all mittens, all the time. That would mean a mountain of mittens, but it's only just a mound of mittens. It's still a lot. Let's count them.
Clockwise from top left (for ease, all fingerless or wrist items are referred to as mittens for now):
A few of my own design samples: 4 pairs (8 mittens)
Failed design that I am still trying to work out: 2 pairs + 1 (5 mittens)
Samples from The Red Collection: 7 pairs (14 mittens)
The Worst Pile – Mittens with no comrades: no pairs (11 mittens)
Bag of pulsewarmers in various stages of completion: 4 pairs (8 mittens/not really but whatevs)
Mittens and gloves that live in the Mitten Bin and get used: 6 pairs (12 mittens)
The Best Pile – Baby Maggie mittens: 3 pairs (6 mittens)
Other people's patterns that don't get much wear anymore: 3 pairs (6 mittens)
Gifted mittens (from my sister and from Elinor): 2 pairs (4 mittens)
The math says that's 31 pairs of mittens and 74 mittens total.
Like yesterday, I can only assume there are some mittens in my house that I cannot locate, and I know of at least one mitten on the pins. There are probably more half-knit mittens that I have hidden in a bag and stashed away somewhere deep.
I took another picture from the side, to show the extreme height of some of these piles.
Here's a confession: I actually think I need more mittens. But more specifically, I think I need more mittens that fit the kids. Assuming it snows (and some years it doesn't) the kids go out to play for 20 minutes, come in for hot chocolate, then want to go back out. But their mittens are then WET AND COLD. So they need at least two pairs each, and three would be better!
Okay, writing that last paragraph made me feel slightly insane. But I'll probably knit more mittens anyway. I HAVE A PROBLEM.
On the other hand, the other categories (sweaters, socks, scarves, shawls) are totally under control. No really.

Read: How The Proposed Wade Redden Rule Would Impact The Rangers
Part of the NHL's proposal included a clause that when explained, states "We are proposing that the salaries of minor league Players on NHL contracts (above a threshold of $105,000) be counted against a Club's Cap. This provision is intended to prevent Clubs from "stashing" or assigning players to the minors (or any other professional league) for "Cap management" purposes. We are not proposing that any salary paid to minor league Players on NHL contracts be counted against the Players' Share."
At ESPN Insider, Craig Custance writes about how that rule, named by many as the Wade Redden rule, would impact the Rangers who would need to carry Redden's cap hit on their roster for the final two years of his contract.
The NHL offer provides teams one year to transition to a lower salary cap so Redden could be on the Rangers roster this year, the Rangers are currently at $62 million and still need to sign Michael Del Zotto.
Custance writes that the issue would be after the season when Derek Stepan and Ryan McDonagh are both due raises, but the NHL proposal does try and curb how much players can make in their second contract.
The NHL proposal would allow the Rangers to be able to trade Redden but still absorb some of his cap hit.
Adam Rotter: I don't worry about this and at worst, if the Rangers need to carry Redden this season, it will be another body to add for defensive depth. Overall though, I don't see Redden every playing for the Rangers again. Either an amnesty buyout will occur, as it should to help teams in the transition period, or the Rangers will find someone willing to take him on to meet the salary floor and add a veteran on defense. Redden's actual salary is down to $5 million per year over the final two years of the deal and defensemen are always at a premium. Something will be worked out and Redden won't be a problem for the Rangers.
