Each week, Val Haller, a music-obsessed baby boomer and the founder of the Web site Valslist.com, matches tracks from her generation to those of her 20-something sons' generation.
My grandfather would say, "I'm feeling a bit punk."
My father would say, "That kid is a punk."
My husband would say, "Remember that punk band the Ramones?"
My son would say, "You've been punked."
The Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition opens to the general public on May 9: "Punk: From Chaos to Couture."
Punk music is neither my favorite nor my forte. But I would like to chime in on all of the excitement that's churning around the Met's long-anticipated punk fashion exhibition that opens this week, and would love your take as well. What is punk? More than a particularly loud and rebellious musical style. A fashion anti-style. A lifestyle. As Nitsuh Abebe wrote recently in New York magazine, "In music, punk remains what the critic Frank Kogan calls a "Superword" — a term whose main purpose is for people to fight over what it should mean," adding, "It's a concept like "freedom" or "the one true Church" or "real Americans": to invoke it is to advance a vision of what it entails, and duke it out with competing visions." My visual is spiked hair, piercings, studs, ripped clothing held together by safety pins, chains, black lipstick, black everything. The soundtrack is scowling, screaming music, raging against the establishment. A counter-culture subculture. Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols summed it up: "Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it."

Natural disasters and emergencies can devastate the communities they hit, and the speed of a response can be – literally – a matter of life and death.
World Vision's priority is to save lives, and often the first response is to distribute a range of items such as shelter kits, food, clean water and hygiene products.
Our work focuses on children, especially those left vulnerable because they have lost parents or carers, or have been left homeless.
Whenever possible we integrate our emergency relief responses with our development and advocacy activities, to ensure communities receive long-term support – such as income-generating projects – as they recover.
World Vision responds to two main types of emergency:
In large responses, World Vision works with the United Nations and other aid agencies to avoid duplication and make sure there are no gaps in the response.
Disasters or emergencies are assessed by World Vision as soon as it's possible to do so; for example, when roads are considered safe to travel, or floods have receded. Then a response is worked out based on what people need and what damage has been done.
It will focus on helping those most in need and the most vulnerable, including children, women and the elderly, to ensure their basic needs are met and their human rights protected.
Poorer communities and countries aren't the only ones hit by disasters, but they have fewer resources and less-robust infrastructure with which to deal with them. Australia is known as a country of terrible extremes and we've lived through some devastating emergencies, such as Black Saturday, but we have well-trained and resourced emergency services, some of the world's best hospitals and doctors, high building standards, stable governments and countless other factors that help contribute to minimising the impact of emergencies and speeding up recovery.
Not every country is so lucky, and when emergencies hit there is little room for error, as:
Being prepared and having strategies in place to respond to emergencies is just one way World Vision helps people most in need.
Through World Vision's Emergency Responder program you help reach many of the world's most vulnerable children and their communities in situations of natural disaster and conflict.
By becoming an Emergency Responder we are able to provide communities in need around the world with life-saving supplies and ensure our staff are fully trained and ready to respond on the ground. Funds could be used for immediate relief or support of long-term work in devastated areas, as well as building back better in areas affected by natural disaster.
Your donation can make a difference today, please become an Emergency Responder.

In his multi-tasking roles with the Charleston RiverDogs over the past 10 years, Harold Craw promoted the organization's signature "Fun is Good" brand while helping many Lowcountry kids realize baseball dreams. Now Craw is a national inspiration, joining the Quad Cities River Bandits as general manager.
Craw is believed to be the only active black GM among minor league baseball's 200-plus affiliated teams. The River Bandits are a Class A Midwest League team and Houston Astros affiliate located in Davenport, Iowa.
Mike Veeck, the RiverDogs' co-owner and president, was beaming Wednesday.
"The RiverDogs' African-American attendance was 31/2 percent when Harold started with us," Veeck said. "We're somewhere north of 10 percent. I mean, one man, one belief, can make such a difference."
Craw, 35, was the South Atlantic League's 2008 sales executive of the year and 2009 community relations director of the year.
He also co-founded and guided Charleston's Reviving Baseball in Inner-Cities (RBI) program, which offers tournament play and mentor opportunities for kids.
"This should be a place where people walk out of with a smile on their face, saying 'See you tomorrow' or 'See you next homestand,' " Craw said Tuesday in Davenport upon his official introduction. "This organization already has that reputation. I'm here to build on it."
Minor league baseball has reached out to minorities with programs aimed at historically black colleges, but its overall front office hiring record has been shoddy.
It is no coincidence that Veeck mentored Craw. Mike's late father Bill Veeck, as owner of the Cleveland Indians in 1947, signed the first black player in the American League, Lary Doby.
In tribute, the RiverDogs have retired Camden native Doby's No. 14.
"Harold has been my muse," Veeck said. "He's been a huge asset to our operation in Charleston, and it's time we share him with the world. Larry Doby would be proud."
Craw's new baseball home, Modern Woodmen Park along the Mississippi River in Davenport, is one of the oldest and most iconic facilities in the minors. Opened in 1931, it has seen renovations and survived major floods, most recently in 1993 and 2001.
"I am thrilled for Harold and his family," RiverDogs General Manager Dave Echols said. "Harold has had a tremendous impact on our organization and the community here in Charleston for the past decade. While he will be missed, it is certainly a well-deserved and earned opportunity. The RiverDogs wish the best of luck to the entire Craw family."
Craw is a native of Chattanooga, Tenn., with a bachelor's degree in physical education from Emory and Henry College in 1999. He earned a master's degree in sport leisure and management from East Tennessee State University.
Along with the RBI program, Craw's Charleston community involvement included a role on the Charleston Air Force Base Honorary Commanders' Advisory Board and the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce Military Relations Committee.
"I want to thank Dave Heller and Main Street Baseball for the opportunity to join an organization that exemplifies Minor League Baseball, and work in Modern Woodmen Park, one of the best stadiums in baseball," Craw said. "I only have fond memories of my decade with the RiverDogs, and I'm forever grateful to the Goldklang Group and everyone in Charleston for making the past 10 years so great."
Craw and his wife, Angie, have two daughters, Cameron, 5, and Jasmine, 14 months.
With Quad Cities, Craw takes over for Stefanie Brown, who moves from GM to executive director of Modern Woodmen Park.

I am an optimist. I believe that if we do good things, "goodness will follow us." You can call me naive. I don't mind. This belief has only been strengthened by finding Knit-a-Square. How can you not be in awe of a family who chose to say "Yes, we can." When it would have been so much easier to say, "It's too big of a problem. There is nothing we can do." Look at all the goodness that has followed them. People all over the world have joined KAS, making it their own. We are making it our responsibility to keep these children warm. Whether you make one square or hundreds or simply "like" our page on Facebook, you are making a difference.
By launching my participation in the Knit-a-Squillion Challenge through the Internet, I have touched many more people than I could have hoped. And at the same time, I have received so much. The goodness and generosity of all of you involved in Knit-a-Square is humbling and heartwarming. No hate or violence or sadness or illness in the world can overshadow the joy I feel seeing the goodness of all you extraordinary people!
Look at what we have received this week:
Two continuing contributors
|Sophie from Quebec City
|Dayle from British Columbia who was the first person to send in squares. She also added a rain poncho, so needed!
And two new KAS friends
|Suzie from Iowa, 50 gorgeous squares!!
And an amazing 50 hats from Sharon in Florida and 20 squares from her friend Ruth!
|Add caption
One last thing to share on this first day of April. Each month KAS proposes a theme for the squares as a motivation to keep the creative juices flowing. This month the theme is flags of the world and everyone is thrilled with the idea. It is only the first day and yet hundred of flags have already been made. Follow this link to see the gorgeous photos and here for information on the challenge in the forum.

NAMI Convention Highlights Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities
"In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, we must be the change we want to see in this world," declared Gayathri Ramprasad, a native of India who now serves as a NAMI Oregon leader.
Her road to recovery from depression began when as a young mother, she tried to kill herself by burying herself alive. It required hospitalization—and breaking the silence within her high-achieving family about the mental illnesses that had affected many of its members over the years.
Stigma surrounds mental illness in all cultures, but is especially powerful among Asian American and Pacific Islander (AA/PI) communities, NAMI members learned at a seminar sponsored by the Multicultural Action Center on the opening day of NAMI's annual convention—being held in Austin, Texas, June 19-21. Reasons vary greatly, including religious beliefs that mental illness is "bad karma from a previous life" and cultural emphasis on "We" rather than "I" that devalues individual concerns.
Besides family and community structures, seminar panelists discussed the impact of adaptation, acculturation, and assimilation—as well as cultural stereotypes that cause many to overlook lower-income persons. Even so, there is relatively very little research on mental illnesses in AA/PI communities. What is generally known:
Transformation of the mental health system must include cultural competency, both in breaking down stigma and educating providers who understand cultural subtleties and distinctions.

Compton and Root clean up
Want to know what's happening at your county? Interested in how your rivals are faring? Look no further than ecb.co.uk's county-by-county page
Nick Compton and Joe Root's great week got better when the duo, called up England on Tuesday, were respectively named NatWest Professional Cricketers' Association player of the year and young player of the year at Battersea Evolution tonight.
Compton and Root, who also this week became the Cricket Writers' Club County Championship cricketer of the year and young cricketer of the year respectively, are part of the Test squad to tour India later this year.
Grandson of England legend Denis, Compton enjoyed a magnificent season with the bat for Somerset, scoring 1,494 first-class runs at an average just shy of 100 and was denied the opportunity to become the first player in 25 years to score 1,000 first-class runs by the end of May by rain. The 29-year-old finished with five hundreds and seven half-centuries.
Yorkshire's opening batsman Root continued the impressive start to his career by scoring more than 1,400 runs in all domestic cricket in only his second full season as a professional.
A career-best 222 not out against Hampshire was the highlight of his summer as he helped the White Rose to promotion in the LV= County Championship.
Senior manager for NatWest sponsorship & hospitality Chris Long said: "On behalf of NatWest I would like to congratulate all of tonight's winners. Our support for cricket continues across all levels of the game, from grassroots to international.
"The NatWest PCA Awards play a key role in raising almost half of the money generated for the PCA Benevolent Fund, which helps support current and former players and their families, while our NatWest Cricket Club continues to reward our customers, fans and local clubs."
The full list of award winners is as follows:
Reg Hayter Cup for the NatWest PCA player of the year
Nick Compton (Somerset)
John Arlott Cup for the NatWest PCA young player of the year
Joe Root (Yorkshire)
ECB Special Award
Bill Gordon
England FTI MVP of the summer
Ian Bell
Friends Life t20 player of the year
Dimitri Mascarenhas (Hampshire)
Clydesdale Bank 40 player of the year
Phil Mustard (Durham)
NatWest ODI player of the summer
Alastair Cook
Investec Test player of the summer
Stuart Broad
Sky Sports sixes league winner
Gary Ballance (Yorkshire)
FTI team of the year
Varun Chopra (Warwickshire)
Chris Nash (Sussex)
Ian Bell (Warwickshire & England)
Steven Croft (Lancashire)
Darren Stevens (Kent)
Peter Trego (Somerset)
Phil Mustard (Durham)
Jeetan Patel (Warwickshire)
Keith Barker (Warwickshire)
Chris Wright (Warwickshire)
Graham Onions (Durham)
The NatWest PCA Awards, universally supported by the players, are entirely not-for-profit. All monies raised are donated to the PCA Benevolent Fund, part of the association's ongoing commitment to supporting players and their dependents who might be in need of a helping hand to readjust to a world beyond cricket, as well as helping current and past players who may have fallen on hard times or are in need of specialist advice or assistance.

Natural Running: Coming Soon to a High School Near You!
Jeff Yanke became certified as a Natural Running Coach at Endurance House in Middleton, WI. Jeff and I connected, I knew this guy was special and ever since we met, Natural Running went to a whole new level. Implementing Natural Running in high school gym classes is going to be the start of something big throughout the U.S. As we may or may not know Newton Running is based on education, we just happen to sell shoes. My job you ask? To educate, too educate walkers, runners, fitness enthusiasts, anywhere ranging from "weekend warriors", beginner walk/runners, all the way up to your elite athlete.
I stopped by for a day just to watch the students from start to finish at their endurance class. The students walked in with their homework which were questions about Chapter 1 of Danny Abshires book, Natural Running. Everybody was enjoying the drills and really understood how running with Natural Form reduces impact on the bones and joints. I'm pretty sure that running is one of the least inexpensive sports out there. Too see people not participating in running because of injury, is so unfortunate. If we can teach kids how to run without injury then we will see healthier individuals. You can run anywhere, just strap on a good pair of running shoes, run with Natural Running form and you are good to go.
Question: Is it possible that kids in school do not enjoy running because they have never been taught how to run correctly?
Answer: "Absolutely", said Jeff Yanke, Physical Education Instructor at Naperville Central High School, USAT Level I Coach, and Newton Certified Natural Running Coach.
During this reflection Jeff went back through all his days of education and never remembered being taught how to run:
In the public school system we teach kids every kind of sport but we fail at teaching them Natural Running. We don't throw a kid in a pool and say swim a 500 for time, or put them at the free throw line and say you're graded on the percent you make out of 10. Yet we do this to our students' detriment in running the mile test. We teach them fundamentals of all sports and forsake running. I decided it was time for a change. I was going to teach my students to run naturally. In order to sharpen my knowledge of Natural Running, I took a coaching clinic sponsored by Newton. Then I brought this knowledge to the high school that I teach at.
The class is called "Endurance". There are twenty-eight students ranging in athletic ability but all desiring to improve fitness levels. We started the class with a video of each students' running gait (they would not see it for 3 weeks) to have a base from which to work, then again at the beginning of week four. Each day they would work on different drills and concepts. I knew that it would take three weeks to rewire neuromuscular movement before it would feel natural to them. The part that I didn't know was how much they would enjoy it! Just last week I had the class complete a thirty minute run test and did not have one complaint. That was a glorious moment in my teaching career. I can safely say that my students enjoy running.
If you're a teacher or student and you're interested in having this program at your school, please contact Justin Dyszelski by email justin.dyszelski[at]newtonrunning.com.

Utility suit
Probably by Victor Stiebel
Museum no. T.46 & A-1942
Given by the Board of Trade, through Sir Thomas Barlow, Director-General of Civilian Clothing
This is a good example of a Utility Suit. It is from the Utility Collection by the Incorporated Society of London Fashion Designers for the Board of Trade. It may have been designed by Victor Stiebel. The simplification and economy of material match the conditions laid down by the Board in relation to the manufacture of civilian clothing during the Second World War of 1939-1945. Then, both hand-crafted and mass-produced tailoring was as important as it is today. But, despite the best efforts of the fashion designers to be inventive without wasting precious fabric, there was a very limited choice. The Utility Scheme was introduced by the Board in 1941 to ensure that low- and medium-quality consumer goods were produced to the highest possible standards at 'reasonable' prices. These standards complied with restrictions and rationing of raw materials. The word 'Utility' was applied to garments made from Utility cloth, which was defined in terms of minimum weight and fibre content per yard. Utility clothes were usually identified by a distinctive double crescent CC41 (Civilian Clothing) label.
The bloused jacket with square, padded shoulders closely resembles the battledress top of an army uniform. It is Board of Trade pattern no. 33, and the retailers' maxiumum selling price for the suit in 13/13 1/2 oz woollen frieze was £4 2s 2d.

The fleeting feeling of victory in the early rounds of the Class 4A state wrestling playoffs can disappear quicker than it comes.
Less than two hours after knocking off Beaufort in the opening round of the SCHSL playoffs Saturday, the hosting Wando Warriors were eliminated on their home mat by Dutch Fork in the second round.
"It's tough but that's the way it happens," Wando head coach Adam Schneider said. "We had some matches we thought we should've won but we didn't. We were set up the way we wanted to be, within shooting range."
Wando jumped on Beaufort early in the opening match with pins by Ryan Williams at 182 pounds and Zola Davis at 195 pounds to take a 21-6 lead. Beaufort answered with a 24-4 run through the next six matches with pins at 113 and 120 pounds.
Schneider shuffled parts of his lineup before the playoffs, including moving senior Ben Crutchfield from 138 pounds to 132. With Wando trailing by one point entering the final match, Crutchfield picked up a dominant pin to lift the Warriors to a 31-30 win.
"It was a gamble, and it paid off," Schneider said. "He's one of those guys we know we can count on. He knew he had to pin to win. He told us at the beginning of the match he was going to get six points for us and he did, even with all the pressure."
Thirty minutes later, Wando was back on the mat against Region V No. 3 seed Dutch Fork in the second round. The Warriors struggled early, falling to pin in the final 10 seconds at 182 pounds to drop behind 21-6.
Wando charged back with a pin at 195 pounds by Zola Davis, followed by a win at 220 by Hunter Allen, and a pin at 285 by Love Scott to tie the match at 21. Dutch Fork stopped the rally with a win at 106 and a pin at 113. Wando fell to pin four times against Dutch Fork but still entered the final match with a chance to tie, trailing by 33-27. Needing a pin, the Warriors came very close to getting it but had to settle on a three-point win instead in a 33-30 loss.
"Obviously, we're not happy about the way the season ended, we're disappointed but it's been a good season," Schneider said. "Dutch Fork is a tough team. Hats off to them. It's something for us to build on. Our second-round matches haven't been close in past years and we had a chance to win it today."
Duals are over for Wando but the season continues for 12 Warriors set to compete in the upcoming Lower State tournament. Crutchfield (132 pounds), Alex Cullen (120), Brandon Robinson (170), Darren Scott (106), Rob McAdams (138), Joey Paragano (145), Tyler Egonut (152), Jeremy Petit (160) Ryan Williams (182), Davis (195), Allen (220), and Scott (285) will all compete after finishing in the top three of their respective weight classes in the Region VII tournament last week.
"We still have a lot of work to do but I think we could have a strong showing," Schneider said. "As far as conditioning and stuff like that, we're where we want to be. We're going to try to fix a few small things but we should have some of our individuals make it to state."
The Lower State tournament begins Feb. 21 at Beaufort High School.

DENVER � Von Miller is pulling a Joe Namath, and it�s only March.
Denver�s star pass-rusher already is guaranteeing a Super Bowl title for the Broncos next season.
Miller said he�s dedicating the season to his 6-year-old cousin who recently emerged from a coma after a car accident in West Texas that also injured his mother and 8-year-old brother.
On Monday, Miller tweeted: �You can post this where ever.. Denver broncos will win the Super Bowl� in the 2013 season. He added hash tags �4UJEREMIAH� and �IGUARANTEEIT58.�
The linebacker later told The Associated Press that when the boy, Jeremiah Clark-Martinez, came out of his coma, he was asked a series of questions to test his memory and among the first things he said was that his cousin, Von Miller, played for the Denver Broncos.
That inspired Miller to make his pledge.
�I�ve always wanted to win. I�ve always been motivated, but when you�re doing something for somebody else, it adds a little bit extra motivation. And I guarantee that we will win the Super Bowl in 2013,� Miller told the AP by phone from New York while on a media tour for AXE skin products.
�I guess you go across our locker room, and I�m sure there will be a lot more guys join me in that guarantee,� Miller said. �I don�t see why not. I mean, there�s 32 teams in the NFL. I�m sure all of those guys feel like they�ve got some kind of chance of getting to the Super Bowl and winning the Super Bowl. And I feel the exact same way.�
Namath delivered on his guarantee in 1969 for the New York Jets� only title, but he waited until the eve of the Super Bowl to make his bold promise that the AFL�s Jets would beat Don Shula�s Baltimore Colts from the more respected NFL.
Miller didn�t even wait for free agency to start.
�Guaranteeing it wasn�t fueled out of being cocky or anything like that,� Miller said. �I actually feel like what else is there? What else is there for the type of team that we have and the type of guys that we�ve got in the locker room?�
The Broncos were odds-on favorites to win this last Super Bowl after going 13-3 and taking an 11-game winning streak into the playoffs behind Peyton Manning�s resurgent season, then they lost to eventual champion Baltimore 38-35 in double-overtime in the divisional round.
Miller said it was difficult to watch the Ravens go on to win it all.
�Man, it�s just tough. Because you don�t want to be that guy that downplays other team�s success. I actually feel like they had a great team. But we�ve got a great team, too,� Miller said. �That�s what�s so special about playing in this league: It�s not always the best team in the National Football League that gets it.�
The Broncos were the ninth No. 1 seed to lose their first playoff game in the last eight seasons.
�It was tough watching Joe Flacco instead of Peyton Manning. It�s tough seeing Ray Lewis, as much as I respect him, instead of Champ Bailey. You know, I mean, it was tough,� Miller said. �But I think we�ll all use this as motivation and get ready to go next year.�
Miller said he has faith that safety Rahim Moore, who allowed Jacoby Jones to haul in Flacco�s 70-yard touchdown heave in the final minute of regulation, will bounce back along with the rest of the Broncos.
�In that game, Rahim made a few key tackles. He was making plays. He was all over the place. That play was just a football folly, and the ball was able to get over him, and they were able to score a touchdown,� Miller said. �On that play, I don�t blame Rahim. I mean, I blame me and Elvis (Dumervil). There was 40 seconds left in the game, they�ve got 70 yards to go, we know they�re going to pass the ball. That�s why they bring me and Elvis in ... to close it out and capitalize on that.
�So, I mean, I�m sure Rahim took it hard. I took it hard, too. Me and Elvis took it hard equally. We�re going to use all that; we�re going to mash it all together, and we�re going to be motivated.�

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. — A Led Zepagain show features all of the Zeppelin highlights, from the high-energy electric classics, to the acoustic works; from the soaring leads on the double-neck guitar, to the brilliant keyboard passages, and from the high, Robert Plant screams, to the trademark pounding rhythms, a press statement promised. A born and bred Irishman from Drogheda, Ireland, lead singer Swan Montgomery's portrayal of Robert Plant has placed him consistently among LA's most popular performers since the early 1990s. Swan has toured Ireland, the UK, Europe, and all over the United States. He's lent his voice to numerous recordings, including the widely released "Witchblade Soundtrack," which featured G. Tom Mac and Roger Daltry. A nephew of Les Paul, multi-instrumentalist Jim Wootten fills the demanding role of John Paul Jones , covering bass, keyboards, mandolin, acoustic six- and 12-string guitars and backing vocals. Steve Zukowsky first picked up the guitar at age 11, inspired by the great rock guitarists of the 1970s, such as Page, Brian May, Peter Frampton, Pat Travers and Michael Schenker. In 1977, he witnessed Led Zeppelin in concert at the Oakland Coliseum, the band's second to last show. Afterward, . Zukowsky picked up the guitar and learned "Over the Hills and Far Away." In 1993, Steve formed his first tribute band, a tribute to Queen, Sheer Heart Attack, which got rave reviews from both fans and the LA music press. Since then, Steve has lent his guitar talents to no less than eight of LA's top tribute bands, as a member or a substitute player, and still plays acoustic andamp; rhythm guitar with the highly regarded Pink Floyd tribute Which One's Pink. He joined Led Zepagain in 2001. With an amazing feel for John Bonham, drummer Jim Kersey leaves audiences shouting for more, especially after every performance of Zeppelin's classic drum solo epic, "Moby Dick!" A highly accomplished drummer, Jim has recorded and/or performed with Vivian Campbell (Def Leppard, Dio), Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, James Cotton, Coco Montoya, the Mamas and the Papas, BB Chung King and the James Montgomery Band, and studied drums and percussion with Carmine Appice, Joe Porcaro and at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Perhaps it's my stage in life, but I find great joy when I see a twenty-something entrepreneur set a lofty goal and then work night and day to turn the dream into a reality. Dan Petkovsek is one of those young entrepreneurs to whom I tip my hat.
About four years ago, Dan had a dream of opening a gym; and not your ordinary gym. He set his sights on training those who were serious about it – athletes. Develop a following of elite athletes and the masses will come. I'm not sure Dan could have picked a tougher industry in which to compete. As fitness clubs were closing all around him, Dan soldiered on. Fast forward to today, I had the pleasure of recently attending the grand opening of Torque Barbell Club in Toronto's west end. Torque has over 300 members, and growing by 20 per week.
I wrote a blog last year on the top 10 things our children should know about money. One of my favourites on the list is to be ambitious and courageous; there is no such thing as failure; it's just experience. Dan Petkovsek epitomizes what it means to be a young entrepreneur. Congratulations, Dan!

There is something satisfying about veganizing an old favourite. I am one of those vegans who still likes eating something that approximates meat. Call me less evolved if you must. These wings are perfect and pretty easy to make. Plus, everybody loves eating things off a stick--just ask anyone who has gone to a state fair. This recipe makes 12 wings, but they are fairly substantial. Make smaller ones if you want, but make sure to reduce the cooking time or they will get tough and dry. And, if you like a sticky and sweet sauce, try this recipe.
- 12 mini bamboo skewers
- 1 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
- 1/3 cup chicken broth powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- freshly ground white pepper
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 to 1 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup plain soy milk
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
1. Line a dark baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray with oil.
2. Mix flour, stock powder, and spices together. Add oil and enough water to make a dough. The dough should be somewhat stiff, but able to be kneaded. Knead for a few mins then shape into a log and slice into 12 to 16 pieces. Stick a bamboo skewer into each piece of dough and shape around the stick. Wet your hands if you need to.
3. Whisk together soy milk, oil, lemon juice, and flax seed in a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, mix together bread crumbs and spices.
4. Roll seitan in soy milk mixture, then in bread crumbs. When all seitan has been coated, roll again in soy milk and press into the bread crumbs to get a thick coating. Place on prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 20 - 25 mins, until crumbs are golden and seitan has plumped up. While seitan is cooking, melt margarine in a small saucepan and add hot sauce. Remove cooked seitan from oven and spoon sauce over each wing. Return to oven and cook for 5 mins.

The DivaCup (Diva Cup) ... don't buy pads or tampons ever again.
The DivaCup (Diva Cup) is your natural feminine hygiene solution. The DivaCup Natural Menstrual Solution is not a new concept. Since the 1930's, internally worn reusable menstrual cups have been used worldwide as an innovative and reliable form of feminine hygiene protection. The DivaCup is a re-designed Canadian version made out of medical grade silicone. Designed to "collect" your flow, the DivaCup is non-absorbent - unlike tampons - and therefore it does not disturb the vagina's natural flushing function. Many women that experience severe cramping and/or menstrual discomfort find relief when they switch to the DivaCup.
Why you'll love the DivaCup Natural Menstrual Solution:
- The DivaCup is reusable! No need to buy pads or tampons ever again!
- Easy to use! The DivaCup can be inserted just as quickly & easily as a tampon.
- Soft, flexible silicone is easy to manipulate & comfortable when inserted.
- Economical! Just think of all the money you'll save with the DivaCup!
- Conveniently fits in your purse for when you need it - even at the last minute.
- Can be worn for up to 12 hours. Great for overnight!
- Environmentally friendly natural menstrual solution.
- Avoid chemicals, dioxins, gels, bleaches, dyes & perfumes with the DivaCup!
- Reliable, safe and sanitary. It doesn't get much better than this!
- Medical-grade silicone is latex-free - great for women that are extra sensitive.
- The DivaCup is manufactured in Canada.
If you are familiar with The Keeper, the DivaCup is a newer version of a classic reusable menstrual cup and the only one with Health Canada acceptance. There are a few other notably important differences between the Keeper and the DivaCup. Most women find that the DivaCup is slightly easier to insert as being a soft, silicone material it is easy to manipulate. The Keeper is made from latex - while a completely natural material - some individuals may be sensitive or allergic to this.
The DivaCup is reusable, so in just a few months your investment will be paying for itself, while doing your part in environmental conservation. Ideal for all activities - the DivaCup can be worn while swimming, playing sports and traveling. It may be worn for up to 12 hours, even overnight! Easy to wash and insert, leaving only a clean, fresh feeling behind. The DivaCup can hold a full ounce (30 ml) of fluid.

The best kept secret, why didn't anyone ever tell me about this! Review by Leslie
Price Value Quality
Please forgive me if this is "too much information", but because of the topic (and item) it will be useful. I wish I had known about this years ago!! Pads, and yes even tampons are no longer in my household ( I am the only woman).
The DivaCup allows me to go longer hours before needing to refresh; great for overnight or when in public washrooms. I can pee and swim without worry and an immediate change, because nothing gets wicked/absorbed. I don't have to carry anything around with me (pads, tampons, liners) in noisy packaging and there's no garbage. There is no smell, no need to mask odours. You can even use it when you are expecting your period to start, because you don't have to worry about TSS (toxic shock syndrome). It is easy to insert, and with a little practice it will be quicker than using a tampon/pad. You don't feel it when it's in place (or if you do it's not uncomfortable). It is very sanitary, simply wash and reinsert.
Honestly, there is no way I would ever go back to using a tampon or pad. Never again do I have to rush to the store to buy more tampons/pads, or make sure I have enough tampons/pads with me when going out or travelling!! I've saved lots of money already. If you have a period, then this is the best way to deal with the flow. Easy, convenient, reusebale, discreet. My husband doesn't even know when my period starts, unless I tell him ;) (Posted on 6/30/10)
No more tampons! Review by Lorraine
Quality Price Value
I LOVE my diva cup! I used the size one for a number of years before the birth of my daughter and am now using the size two. There are so many advantages to using the diva cup I don't even know where to begin. Once you get the knack of the diva cup it is soooo much more comfortable than tampons - and you don't need to worry about using the right absorbency level or changing it every couple of hours. If you are concerned about dioxins in tampons or the effect of women's sanitary products on the environment, give the diva cup a try! (Posted on 7/1/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
AMAZING Review by yogajenni
Price Value Quality
This does take a few cycles to get used to but once you have I promise you will never go back to pads or tampons again. The initial cost seems like it's a lot but I was spending that every 2 or 3 months and I haven't bought anything in almost 2 years! Amazing! I love it and recommend anyone with a period should try it. I will certainly be introducing this to my daughter when she starts... in like 10 years!
I would echo Leslie in that my husband now has no idea when I start my period unless I tell him. There is nothing icky in the garbage and I never leak so no blood in my underwear either! Amazing and great product. (Posted on 11/3/10)
This makes my periods so much easier! Review by CINDY
Price Value Quality
I only wish I had this cup many years back, because it really does make my monthly cycle more comfortable. It does have a learning curve, but it is SO worth it. I am one who reacts to the plastics in commercial pads/tampons, so I am thankful to have a great option.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
I pair my DivaCup with a cloth pad at night for the perfect bulletproof system. No more waking up to leaks and embarrassment in the middle of the night. I did need to trim the stem of the Diva with nail clippers - this is the way to go to avoid any sharp edges. I have since heard that you can also turn it inside out and I might give that a try in the future!
When out, I just dump into the loo and pop it back in without any issues at all. But most of the time there is no need to even do this as it holds more than a pad or tampon. Since you can leave it in for much longer (up to 12 hours I believe), in the last days of my period I feel like I'm not on it at all! Best of all, I have no more reactions to sensitive areas that I had with plastic and paper feminine products. (Posted on 1/3/11)
I got my life back :) Review by et

I hated this time of the month! But not anymore! Thanks to this little discovery. And my 16-year old daughter started using it and she has never looked back. My 14-year old is hesitant but I think she is about to give in :) Especially after a camping trip when she could not go swimming when the older sister could ;)
I never pushed it for them, just showed how it works. They really have to be very comfortable with their bodies. It does take some time to get a "hang of it", so don't give up. I'd say at least three periods. After that you'll almost look forward to this time of the month :D
I have several friends who started using it after I sent them a link about the menstrual cup. Don't hesitate, try it. And if you like it, please, don't keep it a secret! Talk to your friends, so that they can get their lives back :) Word of mouth is the best ad. Otherwise you'd think there are nothing more than pads and tampons. I truly regret that I discovered the Diva Cup so late!!!
It all sounds very much like "as seen on TV", but it's true :D (Posted on 9/10/11)
Buy one! Review by Morgan

I've been using a DivaCup for years, and I've never looked back. I used to have to double up, super absorbency tampons and overnights pads for my three(!) very heavy days. Now I don't even use a panty liner. I use it swimming, doing yoga, running, and never a drip. It takes a try or two to get the hang of inserting it, but once you've got the trick of it, you'll know instantly if it's not in right. (Posted on 11/27/11)

on October 5, 2012 - 12:14 AM
A road trip to Jamestown means the bus trip is longer. It means the turf is harder. It means the crowds are often bigger, and louder.
"What makes it different is their history," said Orchard Park coach Gene Tundo. "Jamestown has a very storied history in football and I think the atmosphere not just there, but in the Southern Tier, they have a small college town atmosphere, where football is a way of life."
Tundo and his defending state champion Quakers (5-0), ranked first in The Buffalo News large school poll, face arguably their toughest test of the season tonight when they make the 70-mile trip down to Jamestown, where a proud football program has been on the rebound in recent seasons.
The Red Raiders (4-1), despite a tough, 35-28 loss at Frontier last week, are ranked eighth among large schools. Tonight's winner will take control of the AA South division, which is just one reason the Jamestown community hasn't looked forward to a home game this much in a long time.
"This is a huge game," said fifth-year coach Tom Langworthy. "Our kids are really excited, our community is really excited. It's the biggest game down here in quite a while. It's a tremendous opportunity to play Orchard Park, on Strider Field, and on homecoming. This team has worked really hard to get to this spot. They realize this is a game that will define them, especially the seniors. They want to beat OP."
Langworthy has reenergized the Jamestown program that struggled mightily following the retirement of legendary coach Wally Huckno after the 2003 season. Jamestown won its first playoff game in a decade in the 2010 quarterfinals and had its last two seasons end with losses to Orchard Park: in the 2010 semifinals and in last year's championship game at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Orchard Park owns a 12-game win streak over Jamestown. The last time the Red Raiders beat OP was in Week Three of the 2002 season, when sophomore Joel Rowe hit a 37-yard field goal with 8.8 seconds left to give No. 2 Jamestown a 17-14 win over No. 1 OP at Strider Field. OP won at Jamestown, 10-9, in the semifinals that year and haven't lost to the Raiders since.
Orchard Park has won 18 straight games overall, including last year's 13-0 state championship campaign. OP hasn't lost to a Western New York opponent since falling to Clarence in the 2010 Section VI final, a run of 15 straight games. OP has also won 17 straight regular season games after falling at Clarence in Week Two of the 2010 regular season.
"I think it's going to be an epic Jamestown-OP battle," said Tundo. "They're a very talented team. They've got a great running back, their quarterback throws an excellent ball and they've got a couple of receivers who can go up and get it. Along with their line, it makes for a potent offense.
"I think Jamestown is dangerous. They have Cortland Haines [a 6-2, 265 senior] – he's kind of like our Mike Senn [OP's 6-3, 300-pound senior lineman]. I anticipate a really good football game."
Junior quarterback Jacob Sisson has thrown for about 800 yards for the Red Raiders, about the same total that has been racked up by 5-8, 160-pound junior running back Da'Quan Hollingsworth. Haines is joined up front by John Czech, a 6-4, 210-pound senior.
Tundo said he is wary of the Strider Field artificial turf, which is a hard, quick surface that Tundo described as "antiquated."
"It's the old-fashioned turf, like an outdoor carpet on a cement pad," he said. "It's very quick."
The Quakers are coming off two games which have raised concerns from some onlookers. OP rallied to win at Frontier, 27-10, before fending off Lancaster (1-4) in a 34-24 home victory. Senior running back Mitch Wilson and senior receiver Austin Goltz sat out the Lancaster game with injuries and Tundo hopes to have them back tonight.
"I don't think 'struggle' is the way to look at it," Tundo said of the Lancaster win. "Lancaster played great. There's another football team out there, and they have a say in what happens, too. It's two football teams out there, and it's a win. It's not gymnastics. It's not a perfect 10.
"We're 5-0. Our kids played hard and kept fighting and digging and then pulled away. ... I'm happy with our team. We're just going to keep doing what we do. We don't look at how close games are. No one cares in the long run."
Another Week Six highlight are two games Saturday that feature the two teams behind OP in the large school poll.
No. 2 St. Joe's (5-0) heads to No. 9 Lockport (4-1) at 2 p.m. in a rare top 10 large school battle between Section VI and a Monsignor Martin Association team.
At 3 p.m. Saturday at Canisius' Stransky Complex in West Seneca, the Crusaders (5-0) host Section V (Rochester) power Aquinas (4-1). St. Joe's halted the Little Irish's 25-game win streak against Monsignor Martin teams last week in Rochester.
Another top 10 battle takes place on the small school side, where No. 2 Cheektowaga (5-0) heads to No. 9 Lew-Port (4-1) at 7 p.m. tonight.

Cost Of Getting A Dog or Cat
|Email Print
My girlfriend and I have been briefly discussing getting a pet, either a dog or a cat, and she was warning me that the "acquisition" costs can run into the hundreds depending on where we go for a pet. She's leaning towards the shelter because the pictures of the dogs and cats at the library make her, and me, sad and so I think it's time for me to fully understand how much it costs just to get a new pet. As a kid, we never had pets because my parents didn't want to deal with all the hassle. The hassle of walking a dog, or cleaning up after a pet, or teaching it to not rip everything up, and most importantly, dealing with crying kids whenever the pet died. The most we ever had were fish that had lifespans of a few weeks before my sister managed to kill it by petting it. (just kidding!)
Since right now I'm just looking at the acquisition cost, it's boiled down into several major categories: Purchase Price, Spaying/Neutering Costs, Immunization/Misc. Shots and I suppose food.
Purchase Price: I think our best option is to visit the local shelter and see if there is one we like. With this option we'll have to shell out a hundred or so dollars. I don't really see myself forking over $1,000 just to get the pet of my dreams when there are so many worthy pets waiting for homes in the shelter.
Spaying/Neutering Costs: Psychologically I don't like the idea, maybe it's an issue of transference, but my girlfriend says it's a healthy thing to do. This procedure can run about $50 to $100.
Immunization/Misc. Shots: "They" say that a visit to the vet and the first shots (which may be handled by the shelter, I have no idea) can run somewhere between $75 to $100. There are also annual shots and tags that will be around $50-$100 a visit.
Food: $4-$10/wk on food, not a big deal.
So all told, the actual acquisition costs can run anywhere from $225 to $300 or so. Does that sound right? Am I missing anything (we're just talking acquisition costs now)?

The ability to speak and write in a clear, organized, and effective way is a central part of the liberal arts education at Hamilton College. To help all Hamilton students strengthen their writing abilities, the College established the Nesbitt-Johnston Writing Center in 1987. The central focus of the Center's services for students is peer review, provided through the writing conference program.
All writers benefit from sharing their work with a reader, and a writing conference allows you to do just that. During a writing conference, a peer writing tutor will read your draft with an objective eye; give you feedback on its strengths and weaknesses; and help you revise the areas which need rewriting. Your writing tutor will examine first the structural features of your draft: thesis, organization, and the development of your argument. Your tutor also will identify errors in grammar, mechanics and style and work with you to revise these errors.
You are an active partner in the discussion; at no time does the tutor take over authorship of your writing. At the end of the conference, in accordance with the Hamilton College Honor Code, you fill out an acknowledgement form noting what aspects of the writing you and the writing tutor have discussed.
You are welcome to come in for a conference with any type of writing at any point in the process, from thinking about the topic to polishing a final draft. You may choose to meet with a tutor to:

Well, not really, but Perry and Niall Horan joked this week that they got engaged after meeting up in Japan, with Horan posting an Instagram selfie of the pair looking quite cozy.
"She said yes! It's happening! Haha," wrote the 20-year-old Irishman.
Later, he posted another photo of Perry, 29, posing with his bandmates. "Me and my groomsmen and my lovely wife hahahaha," he wrote.
Perry and Horan have had a mini crush on each other for some time. He even stole a kiss from her at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2012, and later told British Cosmopolitan: "It was amazing and very purple – she had purple lipstick on. I don't think there will ever be anything cooler than kissing her ... until I marry her, maybe."
He upped the ante a week ago on Twitter, writing: "I love you @katyperry ! Thank you! Ps Will u marry me?"
One Direction arrived in Tokyo earlier this week and will play concerts in the city on Saturday and Sunday nights. Perry, meanwhile, was in town to promote new album Prism.
