Welcome aboard! New York State offers an abundance of scenic waterways for boaters including the Atlantic Ocean, Long Island Sound, the Hudson and St. Lawrence Rivers, lakes in the Adirondacks, the Barge Canal, the Finger Lakes, Great Lakes, and hundreds of other streams, lakes and rivers to enjoy. Boaters can escape on a relaxing cruise, fish a favorite cove, or embark on a family adventure exploring new waters, all while experiencing first-hand New York's incredible natural beauty.
The Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation provides the public with a safe and enjoyable environment for recreational boating. Our goal is to assist the boater in developing safe boating habits and maintaining a strong law enforcement presence on our waters.
Everyone can be a safer boater by following three simple suggestions:
* New Law Effective May 1st 2014: All individuals born on or after 5/1/96 are now required to successfully complete an approved course in boater education in order to operate a motorboat.

Certain allowances to this law have been made for visitors to New York, persons renting a boat and persons purchasing a new boat for the first time. Please refer to Frequently Asked Questions for more information. Find a Boating Safety Course near you.
Adventure License: Eliminate the need to carry your boating safety certificate with you when boating, have your NY Boating Safety Certificate reflected on your NYS Driver License, Non-Driver ID or Learner Permit with a small anchor icon. Learn more

It was theoretically possible. There could be untold troves of lucid, insightful Randy Jackson criticism left in some Fox vault, heard only by video editors, IT folks, janitors and the rare entry-level Fox employee or intern who proves herself trustworthy and cool enough to gain access to American Idol's stash of secret smarts. All it would take was one rogue leaker or hacker for history's assessment of Randy to be completely rehabilitated.
Well, OK, no. The Hollywood Reporter cited a conference call with Jackson, and either the site's expansion plan under former US Weekly editor Janice Min involves cherry-picking the most boring quotes possible, or Randy Jackson really does have almost nothing interesting to say. Behold, the "highlights":
On Idol's longevity, or lack thereof: "[The show could] go on for quite a number of years."
On Hollywood Week: "I don't think we've had a tougher, more challenging Hollywood Week ever." (He also uses the fact that the show's medical staff was called in more than ever as a teaser, which, ugh, think about what you just said.)
On Simon Cowell: "Simon is one of the smartest people I know. I'm sure he's got some very interesting ideas up his sleeve."
On The X Factor hemorrhaging people: "It's sad to hear all that's going on with that show."
On why there are so many talent competitions: "The space of singing shows is definitely a little crowded now. That's what happens when the marketplace gets full."
On Mariah Carey's judging abilities: "She'd be amazing. I don't know if that's ever gonna happen."
At least there's going to be a Madonna video tonight? And the recaps tend to be OK-to-awesome? Damn. Promoting Idol is harder than it looks. See you tomorrow morning, after a show that's sure to be lipsmackingly something.

How Much Does A Condar Fireplace Cost?
$1,537 for the Replenum Heat Recovery Ventilator $439 for a 36" Firebox or $616 for a 42" FireboxEstimate chimney height @ $25/ft (Example: 20 ft chimney = approx. $500)
Please note: Labor, installation, and exterior finishes are not included in the prices listed above. Additional features such as Glass Fireplace Doors ($180-$200), a Masonry Access Door ($149), or Ventilation Timers ($24-$95) may be added for an additional cost.
Consider The Returns On Your Investment:
Energy Savings: Traditional open fireplaces typically produce a net heat loss for your home when in use, so your furnace or heat pump must expend more energy to maintain a constant temperature. The Condar Fireplace maximizes the heat from your fire, allowing most homes to actually experience some net heat gain. Use your Condar Fireplace as frequently as you wish, with no concern for increased energy bills.
Comparable Cost to Traditional HRV Systems: The cost of the average heat recovery ventilator ranges from $2,000 to $2,500. For a comparable price, you can upgrade to the smart, energy efficient HRV technology utilized by the Condar Fireplace. By using your fire to heat the fresh makeup air, you get all the benefits of heat recovery ventilation without any increase to your energy usage. Other HRV systems require some assistance from your furnace or heat pump to deliver fresh heated air to your home.
Reduced Construction Costs: The Condar Fireplace comes pre-built and can be styled to fit virtually any decor. For example, you can create the appearance of a solid masonry fireplace by constructing a masonry hearth around your Condar Fireplace at only a fraction of the cost of solid masonry. Depending on your choice of materials, the Condar Fireplace may go a long towards paying for itself at the time of construction.
Prevent Expenses Related to Insufficient Ventilation: Excessive moisture is a common symptom of poor ventilation, which may create a breeding ground for mold, mildew, fungi, dust mites, and bacteria. Furthermore, gases, biological contaminants, and other pollutants often become trapped in tight modern houses. Poor indoor air quality may pose health risks for you and your home. Many of these problems are difficult to remedy after the fact. By improving the indoor air quality, the Condar Fireplace offers a cost-effective, preemptive solution for the energy efficient home.

|Mrs. Mike
|(A LLB favorite)
I was 12 the first time I read Mrs. Mike. Like all book lovers, I have keepersůand then I have keepers. Mrs. Mike is in my sacred keeper pile - the kind of book that begs to be re-read every few years - and only gets better every time.
The story is about Katherine Mary OĺFallon, a 16 year old Irish girl from Boston in l907, and the man she falls in love withů.Sgt. Mike, a hero for all times; heĺs handsome, chivalrous, strong and fearless. Mike is a Canadian Mounted Policeman, who takes his bride to the far corners of the Canadian wilderness, where thereĺs no one but him to be magistrate, doctor, priest and counselor to all in the area.
Katherine Mary is not only a young girl, but she suffers from pleurisy - two factors who are strongly against her survival in this tough, rough landscape where there are dangers around every turn. But her heart is huge, and once she sets her eyes on Mike, thatĺs it for her. Itĺs the same and more for Sgt. Mike. He knows his bride is too young and too frail, but like the true heroes in all the great love stories, he enables Katherine Mary to grow and become strong - to become her own woman.
The story is peopled by unforgettable characters - Oh-Be-Joyful and her forbidden lover, Jonathan, the baby Mary Aroon, the good witch Mrs. Carpentier and the twisted Mrs. Mathers. And the story is filled with unforgettable, exciting action - where good and evil, wrong and right are always being tested. So is the power of love.
For such a powerful dramatic story, there is also laughter. Years later, I can still remember whole scenes - one, where Katherine Mary is determined to save her young daughter from a spankingů.and another, where Katherine Mary makes a currant pie without remembering to soak or cook the currants first, and Sgt. Mike proves his love by eating it anyway. There are no consummated love scenes in the story, yet thereĺs such sizzle and warmth between the two characters that I find this one of the most compelling love stories Iĺve ever read - before or since.
The book is not just about the power of love - but of the prices of love as well. Itĺs so easy to "say" what weĺd do for someone we loveů.but Katherine Mary Flannigan is actually tested. Something happens that breaks her heart beyond anything she can stand, and the question of the story is whether the huge love she bears for Sgt. Mike can heal her.
I first read this book long before I planned to be a writer. 60+ books later, Mrs. Mike is one of three books that sit on my desk, always in my view for inspiration. At my best, I could never write anything as wonderful as thisůyet Mrs. Mike gave me the courage to try. Unlike all the huge literary tomes I read, growing up, this book was short. I loved those huge literary tomes - I have a degree in lit, in fact - but I had no desire to write them.
Mrs. Mike stuck in my heart and mind like a mosquito bite that wouldnĺt stop itching. It showed me - and taught me - that a compelling, powerful story didnĺt have to be long. It showed me that an unforgettable book could have humor and lightness. It showed me that flawed characters - and Katherine Mary is no angel - is a key to writing characters who touch us. Itĺs a fast read, no seven syllable words anywhere in sight, and although thereĺs sadness in the story, itĺs one of the most uplifting stories I know. Love triumphs.
When someone canĺt stop raving about a movie or book, I think weĺre often doomed to disappointment when we experience it ourselves - because our expectations become too impossibly high to be met. Yet I can only say, for Mrs. Mike, that itĺs one of my top three favorite books of all time. If youĺve never read it, give it a shot. Even if you donĺt love it as much as I do, I think youĺll find it a treasure.
|LLB: When I read a Jennifer Greene's bio and learned one of her favorite books was Mrs. Mike, I begged her to write a DIK Review for AAR because it's one of my own favorites, and one I've re-read over and over again. This is a book in which you remember verbatim bits of dialogue and action; I'll never forget when Sgt. Mike, with a wink and a smile, tells Katherine Mary to "spit 'em out...and next time cook 'em" at the end of the disastrous currant pie scene.
As for the love scenes in Mrs. Mike, there aren't any explicit ones, and yet you can feel every single kiss and touch between Katherine Mary and Sgt. Mike. This book is as romantic today as it was when I first read it in elementary school; many a modern romance writer could take a lesson or two from the Freedman's when it comes to writing love scenes.
I'm so happy that Jennifer Greene wrote this review for AAR; if you haven't read this book or haven't read it in a long time, or if you have a daughter, I encourage you to pick it up, read it, and pass it along.

So it's been a while since this page was updated with a list of things going on around the Birmingham area for those who are interested in veering out of the mainstream and more into spirituality which requires no specific beliefs. It doesn't mean things haven't been going on at all. It just means the writer has gotten lax on certain areas.
I will not tell you of the things you have missed, instead, I will give you a brief run-down of the things on the horizon. This is by no means comprehensive, so please do your homework if you are looking for something specific.
This weekend, March 5, there are a couple of things to speak of: Sunday at 1:00 PM at Villager Yoga will be the open house and registration for a series of seven Sunday afternoon meetings called Yoga in Action. (Check out the wonderful family style studio at www.VillagerYoga.info.) This is an amazing program led by three of the dynamic and spirited yogis in the area (Shannon Andrews Skipper, Jasper Elliot Wolfe, and Melissa Scott). This program is the brainchild of some famous yoga names in the Western world who wanted to see the application of the philosophy of yoga applied in the real world. It will include asanas, journaling, breathwork, meditation, community, and seva (community service). If you want to know everything about it, come to the open house at Villager Yoga in Cahaba Heights on Sunday at 1:00. Bring your checkbook because you are going to love this program! Early registration is $250, and there are scholarship opportunities available through the website. For more information, see www.OfftheMatintotheWorld.org and follow the links. You can also email the ladies at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The next event you won't want to miss for the weekend is the Raw Foods Lecture at Golden Temple in Five Points. It seems this will be a free event and you will have a chance to taste some of the foods they will be telling us about. If you are like many of us and have become privy to the knowledge of the atrocities of our food industry, you are always looking for healthy ways to feed yourself and your family. Come down from 4:00-7:00 PM on Sunday and see what Raw Foods Eating is all about! Our spirits cannot soar if we aren't feeding the body real food. Think about it.
Of course, as always, Lululemon at the Summit has the rotating local yogis teaching their preferred styles of yoga for free on Sundays at 6. Bring your mat and join the seasoned as well as the novice practitioners!
If you feel like a bit of a drive and love to get your chant on, plan on taking the drive to Atlanta for Chantlanta 2012. This is a gathering of devotees for the amazing benefit of mantra yoga. Many people are waking up to the power of mantra, and are celebrating it in great numbers. Ian Boccio was in town a couple of weeks ago leading a workshop at Books, Beans, and Candles, and what he brought to the participants in addition to practice was a rich education of the reasons behind the beautiful sacred syllables we find ourselves uttering in Kirtan or in some super-awesome yoga classes around town. (Shannon Andrews Skipper organized this one too, as she is one of our resident Kirtan Satsang leaders—Jasper Elliot Wolfe is the other— for every first Wednesday night, and every last Friday night.) You can check out the website at www.ChantLanta.org for details. Looks like it's free Friday night and Saturday until 6, then there's a charge for tickets from 7:00-midnight. It must be amazing to be in the presence of that many joined hearts in prayer and blessing!
If you have a pull toward the Shamanic practices of Native peoples, you should check with Valerie Nunnelly at www.ValerieNunnelly.com. She's doing a journeying workshop at the end of the month (March 31-April 1). It looks like just one of the many types of workshops she's offering this year, and one that is sure to help propel you onward toward your goal of spiritual growth. Check out her site for the location and the cost.
The opportunity to go through teacher training to be a yoga instructor or simply to deepen your practice will be held at The Yoga Circle for those of you interested. The information can be found on the studio's website at www.TheYogaCircle.net. It begins in May and the teachers will be coming from Asheville. For more info about them, see www.YourYoga.com. If you'd rather go to exotic Guatemala with Akasha's next immersion group, find out more details at www.BirminghamYoga.com. This training is also in May.
Plenty more opportunities to grow in spirit around the Birmingham, Alabama area; just know where to look! My favorite studios have been listed here, but I'd like to add www.HeartwoodYoga.com and www.BlissfulHeights.com to the list.
(I still haven't made it out to www.StudioZenFitness.com, but I know there's an amazing power yoga teacher who's motivating lots of folks!)
(Oh yeah, all the businesses and every person mentioned in this article have Facebook pages. Look them up there too!)
Laurie M. Knight, author of Journal to the Center of the Soul, is also a reverend, a Reiki Master, a death and dying specialist, and much more. Check out her new business at www.HealingCenterEd.com where she will be reaching out to educate folks in ways to better integrate their spirituality into their daily lives. Stay tuned for what's coming up!

While current China/U.S. government relations are shaky due to issues of alleged internet espionage, there are others in both countries who are working for mutual understanding among our young people.
The 100,000 Strong Foundation has collaborated with the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation to offer students who attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) a chance of a lifetime to learn the Mandarin language and visit and study in China.
This was first announced when the Chinese Vice Premier Liu Yandong indicated in 2013 that scholarships for 400 African American high school and college students would be provided by her government. One Charlotte native will be a beneficiary of this invitation only program.
Mr. Quelontae Nunn, who completed his freshman year at North Carolina Central University on the Dean's List, received a recommendation from one of his professors to apply. Last week he received confirmation that he should start preparations for international travel. Nunn had the following responses in anticipation of his trip.
JP: How did you learn about this opportunity? What's the program called?
QN: I learned about this opportunity from a recent Professor of mine at NCCU.
JP: How long will you stay in China?

Rated 5 out of 5 by tkl838 Perfect addition to my Easter tree! These eggs are beautifully painted with adorable matching bows to hang on my tree. They are bigger than an XL egg, so they really stand out and pop, even if the colors are more subtle. It's fun to have these more classic scenes mixed among the more modern, brighter ornaments on my Easter tree. March 20, 2013

Over the past week nearly 200 area middle school students got a glimpse into potential careers at Moraine Park Technical College's Tech Knowledge College (TKC) held at the Fond du Lac campus.
During the three-day camp, students enjoyed hands-on learning as they participated in their two choices from among almost 20 different sessions. There was something for everyone, and participants left TKC with new skills in a variety of areas, including movie making, yo-yo manufacturing, gourmet baking and hair techniques.
ldquo;The camp is great," TKC student, Mohini Kumar of Fond du Lac said. "I have learned a lot of new things and I love how the teachers let us use our imaginations and make whatever we want."
Kumar's projects had no shortage of imagination. During the Quick Breads course, a new session at TKC this year, she made scones filled with pineapple, cashews and cranberries. She also created a short film about a dance team with her group in the Moving Making at MPTC session.
Moraine Park has been hosting TKC for over 20 years. Although sessions have changed to complement new and evolving technology, the purpose of the event has remained the same — to give students a chance to get a hands-on, interactive look at the skills and careers needed today and in the future.

Some experiences can make you feel old. Perhaps you're not familiar with the latest singing sensation or the newest clothing trend, or maybe, like one local mother, you have to go to an antique store to find the kind of books that teach school subjects as you learned them.
You might think that some basic educational strategies never change. According to the song "School Days," the fundamental lessons were covered by the good old-fashioned "Three R's: Readin,' 'ritin' and 'rithmetic." However in the new age of Common Core Standards, (the new educational technique that is utilized in 49 states including Minnesota, ) these subjects don't exist. Instead there are classes that teach Language Arts and Number Strings. Schools have already discontinued the teaching of handwriting and spelling, perhaps with the supposition that in the future, we will all be texting each other and all we will really need to know is how to type "OMG" and "LOL" while simultaneously playing a video game and keeping up with the Kardashians.
Now it appears that the Common Core Standards are questioning; "How much math do we really need to know? After all, we all have computers, we even have a calculator app on our cell phones, so does it really make a difference if we know the multiplication table?"
The mother who bought teaching texts from the antique store was trying to help her son in math by teaching him the same skills that she had learned as a child. She was frustrated to learn that long division is no longer taught in the schools. "I don't know what they're teaching, it's all about number lines and loops." (If you view the videos of Common Core teaching on the links listed at the bottom of the page, you will see what she is talking about.)
It used to be that a teacher would ask a straightforward question such as "What is 420 divided by 3?" Students have always been encouraged to show their work, but this has mainly been in an effort to prohibit cheating and also to help students find where they make mistakes in their mathematical processing. However, according to the new Common Core Standards, "140" would not be a correct answer to this question. Instead, students are taught to break down this question into multiple other mathematical questions and then to defend their mathematical strategies. The "correct" answer is one that defends why you think 140 is correct.
One teacher heralds the "sense of ownership that comes from having to defend their answers rather than just memorizing facts." They're not repeating back to me something that I have taught them, they're coming up with these things on their own. "It's not important what's right and wrong, I'm really looking for why they think they got the right answer."
What is this new kind of education teaching our kids? In a subject as clear-cut as mathematics, is confidence and the ability to defend one's arguments as important as understanding basic principles? After watching these videos, one can picture a teacher recommending a student for college or a job based upon a very strange rationale; "Tommy thinks that 2 + 3 is 19, but he's really confident about it, and very good at defending his ideas."
To see footage of teachers putting the Common Core Standards to practice, click on the following links-
So we're teaching kids that the most important skills to succeeding in in our society are #1, Confidence, and #2, the ability to argue one's point. However the frustrated mother said that her biggest concern about Common Core Standards is that it is not teaching students critical thinking. Students are taught to argue, but not to apply logic to their arguments. This begs the question- who on earth is in support of this kind of education? Well in addition to the federal government, Common Core is supported by GE, Microsoft, Geb Bush and Bill Gates.
The Common Core Standards proponents have admitted that part of this new education is the process of data mining from students. People who support this procedure say that it is important for the government to learn all it can about students in an effort streamline education for students' needs as well as to foresee future needs of the next generation.
While critics say that Common Core Standards are overly focused on standardized tests and compiling data, supporters of Common Core see nothing wrong with collecting information on students' demographics, from the religion of their household down to their hair and eye color. This data mining process is part of a system called Icue, and little is known about it at this point. However, data mining as a practice may indicate the true goal behind Common Core. For years we have been hearing about the achievement gap between Caucasian students and students of color, specifically Latino and African American students. Despite massive efforts to bridge this gap, Caucasian students still graduate at a much higher rate. Politicians have struggled to address this issue for decades. Today, Governor Mark Dayton released a new report on his efforts to bridge this gap. (See link for more information.)
There is a great deal of pressure on school districts and politicians to bridge this gap, and there have even been threats that schools will not continue to get the funding they want if they don't succeed by demonstrating that white kids and kids of color are scoring more alike. The fact is, no teacher or politician can control what is happening in the home. Some parents encourage their kids to read, write and do well in school, while others do not. Yet anyone who has taken even a basic course in statistics knows that numbers can be manipulated to "prove" different points. If we say that a student is succeeding in math because he is confident and knows how to argue, we can indicate that we have had great success in bridging the achievement gap, even if that student says that the answer is 19.

MK Attempts Football Feint to Aid Thirsty Settlers
MK Ben Ari feints right, runs left, is blocked, but finally runs into end zone with water for Migron's youths.
By Hezki Baruch & Gil Ronen
First Publish: 9/2/2012, 10:55 PM
MK Michael Ben-Ari (National Union) carried out his version of a football-style feint Sunday, in an attempt to bring water to thirsty boys on a rooftop in Migron. He was blocked by police, but they eventually thought better of this and let him pass.
Ben Ari said that the prime minister and Likud ministers are "criminals against Zionism."
"This is not new," he added. "The same Likud that expelled Jews from Yamit, from Gush Katif, from Machpela House, from Givat Ulpana – is carrying out demolitions here, and if we do not stop Likud now, it is the end of the Jewish settlement effort."

On Saturday, June 28, 2014, we took a leisurely drive from Orange County along the familiar route we take when heading out to Las Vegas. Victorville is located north of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. It is High Desert Country, situated in the Southwestern edge of the Mojave Desert with high temperatures to boast.
As we pulled into the parking lot of the High Desert Event Center (formerly known as Victorville Fairgrounds), temperatures soared close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. We decided to wait in the air conditioned car until the gates opened for the High Desert Music Festival & BBQ Showdown and until the line of music and BBQ fans died down in the high noon sunshine. Once we opened the car doors, the aroma of smoked barbeque meat permeated the air. As we entered the BBQ Village, you could see all of the Teams working their magic as the Kansas City BBQ Society sanctioned competition was well underway. Teams had timetables to turn in their chicken, pulled pork, brisket, and ribs. Unfortunately, nothing would be served to the public until after 2pm so that the teams could concentrate completely on their entries. There were a few outside vendors that were selling food which was a good thing.
Heavenly Delights with their tagline "What all cobblers want to be when they grow up" gave out samples of their pipin' hot cobblers. We sampled the Peach Delight with Pecans. It was definitely pipin' hot and right out of the oven. The peaches were baked perfectly so they were not too mushy and held a familiar peach texture so you knew what kind of fruit was being used. It had just the right amount of sweetness. The pecans added a crunchy texture to the mix. I can imagine that it tasted really good with a scoop vanilla ice cream on top.
Pig on a Twig amped up our appetite with fresh smoked turkey legs. All the barbeque competitors' smoking & grilling made us crave meat and a turkey leg was the closest we could get to it. The skin was smoky and crispy. The meat was tender and had an excellent smoky flavor. The turkey had a great amount of flavor so I assume it was marinated or brined before smoking and cooking. It definitely hit the spot for lunch!
Lemonade Shakers also helped with the heat of the day with flavored lemonade and iced teas. They had a great deal that if you kept your cup, you would save $2 on refills. It was well worth it as we drank 6 between the two of us. The lemonade was fresh lemon juice squeezed, shaken with the lemon peels, sugar, ice, and your choice of flavor: plain, cherry, mango, or strawberry. They were fantastic! It would have been great to have a sugar-free option of Splenda or stevia as an alternative.
After feeding our appetite, we walked over to the Car & Bike Show presented by All N All Car Club (SoCal Chapter). Atomic Orange Metallic Corvette, 1938 Chevrolet Master 4-Door Touring Sedan, and tricked out kitted roadster (straight out of a ZZ Top video) were among the cars on display. I thought to myself, "My Camaro would have made great addition."
Uncle Tim's Best West Barbecue Sauce gave out samples of their line of barbecue sauces. Depending on your spicy level, there is Mild, Medium, and Habañero. The Habañero was actually not all that spicy, but you did feel the heat in the back of your throat after eating. But it was not uncomfortable so you could actually taste the flavor of the habañero pepper which goes really nice with the barbecue sauce itself. We actually got to meet Uncle Tim and he's great guy who loves BBQ. What a better place to be than at a BBQ Showdown!
At 2pm, we started our sampling of BBQ that some of the competitors were giving out. All samples were given out with tickets purchased at the gate at $2 each. The first place we tried was Real Texas Style BBQ showcasing their pork ribs. The ribs had an excellent bark on the outside with beautiful dark pink smoked meat. The ribs were a little on the dry side, but flavorful. I'm not sure how they scored as "Real Texas Style BBQ" was not their competition name.
Tropical Heat BBQ from Ventura County, CA entered all of the competition categories. We tried their brisket and requested the fatty end. The outside had a caramelized bark. The meat had a thick, dark pink smoke ring and was succulently tender. The marbling of this cut helped to keep it tender and juicy throughout the cooking process. They came in #13 out of 29 competitors with a score of 162.8228 in the brisket category.
Master of Disaster "A Completely Unprofessional BBQ Team" from Santa Ana, CA provided samples of their pulled pork. It tasted more like carnitas with a little bit of smoky flavor. I'm not sure if they entered this into the competition unless they had a different competition name. They were also selling a bunch of different BBQ plates for pretty good prices.
We decided to hide out in the shade for a while to check out the music festival. Tessie and the Calico Cats from Victorville, CA got our toes tapping to some classic country music. Tessie's father, Frankie Flash, is an awesome harmonica player and also won The Gong Show in 1988 (the show came back from hiatus from 1976-1978). Their music whisked us back to days of Dale Evans and Roy Rogers. Imagine yourself on a horse in cowboy attire with Dale and Roy singing on either side of you.
The 3Diamonds, Supreme's Motown Review, were absolutely fantastic! Jayda Oliver, lead singer, sounds exactly like Diana Ross with her jazz, blues, and gospel style from New Orleans, LA. Julie is the alto voice of the trio and Sheri is the soprano. Together, they are entertaining and just rocked the house as attendee sang along and grooved to the music. "Baby Love"d their dazzling purple dresses as well!
60 Grit Blues Band captivated the audience with powerhouse vocals of Brian Haringa. Bluesy yet energetic – imagine if George Thorogood, BB King, and ZZ Topp merged into one band. This is exactly what they would sound like. Great exciting yet relaxed music to keep your mind off the desert heat.
Finally, the event we were waiting for arrived, the presentation of the BBQ Winners. In the Chicken category, Funtime BBQ won 1st place, Porketeers in 2nd, and Zzyzx BBQ in 3rd. In the Pork Ribs category, Sin City Smokers won 1st place, Big Poppa Smokers in 2nd, and Cool Grilling in 3rd. In the Pork category, Simply Marvelous BBQ won 1st place, Stoke to Smoke in 2nd, and Tropical Heat BBQ in 3rd. In the Brisket catgory, Porketeers won 1st place, All Hogs Sauced Up in 2nd, and Wild Willy's Smokin Hot BBQ in 3rd. Overall Champion was Porketeers with a score of 703.4516.
We had a couple of BBQ tickets left and All About The Q was the only one left with barbeque to sample. We tried their Pork Fingers and Pulled Pork. The Pork Fingers were pork sausage wrapped in bacon. They were a little dry, but the Stubb's Hickory Bourbon barbeque sauce cured that problem really quickly. The barbeque sauce picked up the caramelized brown sugar on the sausage and made it mighty tasty. The Pulled Pork was okay. I could have been a little bit juicer and more tender. The hubby liked the pork with the Stubb's Smoky Mesquite sauce.
Even with the high desert heat, this was a fun day of BBQ, music, and cars. Can't wait to go again next year!

Due to Memorial Day, there will not be any coupon inserts in this Sunday's newspaper. This is the perfect chance to clean out expired coupons and spend extra time with family! In the meantime, check out our Printable Coupon Database for hundreds of great coupons!
18 thoughts on "No Coupon Inserts: Week of 5/26"
Well, considering my coupon "sister" at church gave me a HUGE bag of coupons last Sunday….and I'm still NOT done going through all of them…..yep, a break is good. Plus, bought some more All You magazines….there's always more coupons out there!!!!
Don't throw your expired coupons away!!! Donate them to a military family 🙂 We use the Couponing for Troops site and it is fantastic 😉
Is there a 'special' newspaper on Memorial day that will have coupons, like the papers released on Thanksgiving and Christmas?
There will not be any coupon inserts from Smart Source, Red Plum or Procter & Gamble, but there may be local coupons and deals for Memorial Day sales, so it's worth a look. Also, some weeks the USA Weekend or Parade have one or two coupons inside, so make sure to always check those too 🙂
Alright, thank you!
I grew up in Oregon and the main newspaper there – the Oregonian – always released/releases newspapers on the day of major US holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Day, Memorial Day, etc) that have tons of coupons, ads, and goodies.
However, it sounds like that is likely just be a regional or Oregon thing! What a shame – those 'holiday coupons' were usually the best!
I think this may be the break many of us have been longing for
Pizzaz coupons as much as I eat, breathe and sleep. Since I don't take a break from eating, breathing and sleeping, I never take a break from couponing! 🙂
Pizzaz, I am beginning to look and feel a lot like your pic from all of this couponing, so I think I need the break!!
Make sure to enjoy it! Next week we're slated to have 3– one RP, one SS and one PG 🙂
Okay, QponGirl. We'll give you a break this time; just don't make it a habit! :p
I don't go that far. Lol. But I wanted to take a Break from CVS, but with ECB's its hard, becuase they expire..
You may just have to splurge at CVS and use up all your ECB's and start fresh. That's life! 🙂
yes!! Yes it is! i eat breathe and sleep coupons as much as the next "smiley face" but I am due for a week without. The kid has a bday party sunday then we have to get him packed for the summer at grandmas! thats the other break i will be enjoying!
Those who steal their neighbors newspapers can sleep in.
Or got to bed early
That's true! 🙂
Thanks for the reminder! I just postponed my paper delivery 🙂


text: It's the time of the year again that shopping malls and boutiques become a danger zone. I avoid them as much as I can. I keep telling myself: Yes, many lovely pieces of clothing are dramatically reduced, but I've bought enough clothes this summer, thankyouverymuch. If I buy any more, I won't be able to do them justice this year, especially since there is only another month or two of warm summer weather left. And for next year I will want to buy some items that are of the latest fashion then. Continue reading

Head Coach Anthony GrantOpening statement:"I thought Dayton was the better team tonight. They came out right from the tip and set the tone with the pace of the game. They really hurt us in transition and our press was extremely ineffective. They were able to take advantage of opportunities in the press and in the half court, they were able to exploit some things. We just didn't do a very good job of defending in any facet today. On the other end of the floor they were more physical, just a little tougher in terms of what they were able to do to win the game."
On slow starts to both halves:"Those are things that we've tried to address all year long. We talked about it before the game and our guys are aware about the need for us to come out and start well and we had an inability to do that tonight. As a basketball team that's what's going to allow us to be successful. I thought the three-point line was the difference in the game. In the first half they were 7 for 13 and the transition opportunities were huge. We weren't able to get any stops in the second half, and at the 11-minute mark they were shooting 75 percent from the field. So give them credit, they had an answer for everything that we threw at them today. They played extremely well and as a basketball team, right now we have to do some soul searching and understand what it takes to win competitive games like this against quality teams."
Rodney Cooper #21, GuardOn the breakdowns in the defense:"They were breaking the press, and beating us down the court most of the time. They were also playing with more passion than we were."
On falling behind early but fighting back late:"It was a bit discouraging, but they were penetrating in the lane and making their passes and knocking down shots."
On Dayton's Kevin Dillard's game performance:"Being a veteran makes him a really good point guard. He's the head of the snake, and he basically ran the show."
Head Coach Archie MillerOpening Statement:"Obviously it was a really good win for our team. We have a lot of respect for Alabama. I have a lot of respect for coach Grant, knowing what he has done for our program. To come down here and play against them and to watch them on film – this is a very good team. They are going to win a lot of games. We tried to come in aggressive and I thought Kevin [Dillard] was fabulous and he gave us all confidence and it kind of carried over in to everyone. This is the type of environment, in particular with the way that they play, that you have to have some playmakers out there that aren't afraid. We had a lot of guys that stepped up in big moments. Whether it was [Josh] Benson or the freshmen, it was a good team effort against obviously a very good team."
On Kevin Dillard's performance tonight:"He was ready tonight – this is a big stage. He knew coming in to the game that if he didn't play well, we weren't going to have a chance to win. Quite frankly, I thought he dominated the game – that is what a great point guard does. I don't think a team is going to score 81 points on Alabama in a very long time after this game and it's a tribute to a great point guard. He has his ups and downs, but I thought he was ready to meet the challenge and responded very well after our NIU game and he has been practicing very hard. Our team is getting better in general. We have a long way to go and we will go as far as he can take us."
#1 Kevin Dillard, GuardOn what was working for him on offense:"My teammates just had me in good spots where I could score the ball, and I was able to get past the trap a little bit – the press – and it opened up a couple things for me."
On what was working well for the team on offense:"We just played off of each other, and played confident tonight. We wanted to come out and attack. We knew it was going to be a good game, a hard fought game, and we just wanted to compete to the best of our ability."

Asparagus Tart
Nothing signals the end of winter like the return of fresh produce, and asparagus is often one of the first spring vegetables to remind us of the warmer months to come. By pairing the tender stalks with freshly grated cheese and puff pastry in an easy asparagus tart, you're just minutes away from an elegant and delicious main course or spring starter that works well on the Easter or Mother's Day brunch table.
A few things about asparagus… Asparagus spears, like knitting needles, range from pencil thin to carrot thick. Try and choose a bunch that are uniform in size so they'll cook evenly, and save the thicker stalks for heartier dishes. Asparagus has a "woody" stem that many try to thwart by peeling the stalks, but the effort isn't necessary. Simply bend the stalk with gentle pressure near the bottom and allow it to snap where it wants to (usually about 2/3 down). You'll be left with a perfectly tender stalk, and if it pains you to toss those stems, you can always puree and strain the stems for use in a spring soup.
This recipe for asparagus tart in various forms pops up a lot each spring, and with good reason, since it looks much more impressive than the amount of time and effort it takes to put together. By using frozen puff pastry, the hardest part of this recipe is grating the cheese and snapping the asparagus stems, so really, you've got no excuse!
While the recipe calls for Gruyere, a delicious hard cheese with a light flavor that's distinct but not overpowering, you can substitute it with Fontina or swap out 1/3 of it with Parmesan. Feel free to experiment with cheeses to suit your taste. I also decided to add a teaspoon of freshly grated lemon zest to the olive oil before brushing it onto the asparagus. I love the way the citrus complements the asparagus, and anything that wakes up my taste buds right now at the end of such a long winter is most welcome.
It's especially nice that the tart can be eaten hot or at room temperature, making things just that much easier for a busy host or hostess. A large slice of this asparagus tart paired with a fresh salad or bowl of soup is enough for a meal, but it can also be cut into smaller squares that would be a lovely addition to a spring brunch spread or appetizer table.

Buying Guide for Cheap Sony Laptop Battery
Generally speaking, a Sony laptop battery can be used for a couple of years before it completely goes dead. Then you will probably think about buying another original one from Sony distributor at a very high price. Now I would like to suggest that buying a cheap replacement battery is also a wise choice. Many people may have many questions, how do you know what to buy, from who to buy, what you even should be looking for when buying a laptop battery? I have classified several categories a person needs to be informed about when going out to make a purchase for a new battery.
Laptop model and original battery code (part number)
The original battery code (part number) is quite essential to the purchase of your new laptop battery. It is a unique identifier that is assigned to a part to simplify referencing and to unambiguously define a part within a single manufacturer. The part number above all is what needs to be known before going to buy your battery. Secondly the make and model are next most important part identifiers you must know. The make is the manufacturer (e.g. Sony, HP, and Dell). The model is a multi-component word that includes the line and actually model number. For example, the Sony VGN-FZ50B battery is an example of a Sony made laptop that is part of the VGN series and which has model number VGN-FZ50B. In other words, the information of model and part number can determine the battery compatibility.
Capacity, Chemistry and Voltage
There are series of questions about capacity you need to know before purchase: how much you want to spend, how often and how long you use your laptop on battery power, and what applications you may be running off the battery's power. The higher the capacity the more money you will spend, so if you need the longer runtime or you use applications that require more battery power, then buy the higher capacity battery. A milliAmp hour (mAh) is the most commonly used notation system for consumer electronic batteries. For example, 4400mah, 6600mah, 8800mah.
Most laptops now require a lithium based battery chemistry, as it has no memory effect. You cannot choose your chemistry type for most batteries. It is still good however to know which chemistry type your battery requires.
For laptop batteries, the most common voltage measurements are: 7.2V, 9.6V, 10.8V, 11.1V, and 14.4V. Since you cannot choose the voltage measurement for your laptop, then go with whatever measurement is closest to your original battery. Remember nominal voltage allows for slight deviation from the original but you cannot use a 7.2V battery if it requires 14.4V. The best example would be a 10.8V battery could be used with an 11.1V battery.
Number of Cells
The number of cells is important since the more cells contained in the battery the higher the capacity will be. To determine the number of cells in your laptop battery you need to have some general idea of what cells are being used in your battery. The most common battery cell is the 18650 and is manufactured by LG, Sony, Sanyo, Samsung, Panasonic and many others. The 18650 is a 3.6V cylindrical Li-Ion cell. 18650 has no memory effect (distinguish between digital memory effect) and longer storage life than NiMH battery cells. 18650 is light weight and have a high energy density. It is in effect perfect for building batteries for laptop and other portable power devices.
Specifically the 18650 battery cell has a nominal voltage average of 3.7 V. It has a nominal capacity of 2200 mAh. It has a maximum charge current of 2.4 Ah and a max discharging current of 4.6 Ah. Its dimensions (DxH) are 18.3 mm (Max 18.4) x 64.9 mm (Max 65.1). It weighs 46.5 g (1.64 oz). It has cell cycle performance of 80% of initial capacity at 300 cycles. All in all the 18650 is a very good battery cell.
Using this common laptop battery cell as our base you can determine the number of cells in your laptop battery by doing the following. Divide the battery's stated voltage by the 18650′s nominal voltage to get the number of cells in series and divide the battery's stated capacity by the 18650′s nominal capacity to get the number of cells in parallel. Then multiply the results of the series and the parallel to get the total number of cells in the battery.
Price, Warranty and Seller
When choosing a seller to buy Sony laptop batteries, please first search the seller's reputation and then carefully check the price, the warranty and the return policy. It is recommended to contact the seller if you have any questions.

The way to use the cheap laptop battery as an expensive one
What happens when you buy a cheap battery that quickly loses its kick? You don't want to have to go out and buy another battery, then you will have spent more than it would have cost to get a good one originally. Or maybe you already have a really good laptop battery and you just want to keep it running at its peak performance, to prevent a future purchase. Either way you need to know the secrets to extending the life of that laptop battery such as Original HP Pavilion dv8000 Battery 8 cells 4400mAh, and I am going to share them with you.
So what exactly can happen if you don't take care of that cheap laptop battery?
just follow the simple tips .
Don't allow your laptop battery to discharge completely. Allowing a battery to completely discharge can have very negative effects on the overall performance and life of the battery. Often times we find that by draining the battery can in some cases cause complete battery failure or drastically shorten the charge capacity of the battery. What this means in plain English is your battery will die and/or not hold as much of a charge therefor draining quicker than it should.
Many manufacturers recommend that your battery is stored and maintained at around half or 40% charge to maintain optimal performance. Always read the user manual that came with your laptop, or if it is a replacement battery read the included documentation.
Add more memory or RAM to your laptop. Many people would speculate that this method will not help to save battery performance due to the fact that more memory requires more power to maintain. While this reasoning is true in part, if your laptop is short on RAM, your hard drive will be constantly running to make up the difference, via your swapping file, which in turn would use a lot more power and battery life. If you are using a laptop that has say 512mb of RAM, increasing this to 1gb should be more than enough to maintain optimal performance.
Turn off your Wifi while not in use. There is usually a switch to turn off your Wifi, however you may need to turn it off in the Wifi configuration panel. Your Wifi uses a lot of power when it is not connected because it is constantly searching for a connection, so it is a good idea to make sure it is turned off when not in use.
Remove your battery while running your laptop on AC. If you are working from home and your laptop is plugged in to the AC, removing your battery is a good habit to have. Keep in mind that you do not want to store your battery completely discharged, but this method will allow your laptop battery to take a break while not in use.
Take care of your battery and keep it clean. I should probably say this twice, but I won't. Taking care of your laptop battery is crucial to its performance. Over time the metal contacts on the battery will build up gunk that can cause the battery to work harder than it should in its daily operation. So once a month, pull out the battery and wipe it down with a cloth, clean off the contacts and you will extend its life.
Lower your graphics use. You can save a lot of power consumption by dimming your screen, lowering the screen resolution and removing the fancy graphics. Windows especially uses a lot of graphics on the menu's and such, which is easily turned off and cut out a lot of the battery drain. The overall look may not be as pretty, but were going for battery life here.
Remove USB devices when not in use. Usb devices often require a good amount of power to continue running. If you are not using them make sure to remove them from the computer and this will help to save on battery consumption.
Defragment your hard drive regularly. Defragmenting your hard drive can help it to run more efficiently and require less power consumption. The more efficiently your hard drive operates the less work it will require to maintain operation. So keeping this in order and defragmenting regularly will benefit the life of your laptops battery.
Keep your laptops air vents clean. Laptops, or computers in general operate more efficiently when running at cooler temperatures. This is also why you see high end computers with water cooling systems. Anyways, by keeping the air vents clean you allow more air flow for the fans to run and the laptop will remain considerably cooler.
Optimal laptop performance causes optimal battery performance. Over all, the better your laptop performs the longer your laptop battery will last. It is very disruptive to your day when your laptop battery dies and you are constantly looking for a good place to plug in. So use the tips above to maintain your laptops battery at peak performance and life on the go should be a little easier.
Set your laptop to hibernate rather than stand-by mode while sitting idle. While stand-by mode is great for saving on power consumption, setting your laptop to hibernate will allow the computer to completely shut itself down and still save your laptops state where you left off. Both options are good, you should at least be doing one of them, but hibernation will be the most effective.

Cell Types Used In The Making Of Cheap Laptop Battery
Check out the Cheap Laptop Battery here. How much do we know about our laptop battery is an indispensable question today since laptops have become one of the most important personal items. Most of the laptop owners overlook the laptop battery label on which information about the components of the battery are given. Taking cognizance of this information not only helps laptop users establish a strong grip on the safe handling tips of the equipment but also gain vast inputs on the durability and efficiency of the kind of battery used.
Laptop batteries are made up of different varieties of chemical compounds and which ones go into the making depends from one brand to another. The basic process behind the generation of power or energy is the same in all the laptops; as a matter of fact the chemical compounds in the batteries react with each other resulting into the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy. Out of the several types of laptop batteries, the most popularly used ones are—Lithium-ion batteries, Nickel-Cadmium batteries and Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.
Lithium ion (Li-ion) based batteries are the most widely used in laptops nowadays because it is lighter in weight and more durable than others. Cheap Laptop Battery is free from 'memory effects' which means that they do not have to be fully charged in order to have a full charge next time. Batteries made from lithium-ions deliver superior performance in comparison to others. Li-ion batteries are flammable thus naked exposure of these batteries in the open air may pose environmental hazards.
Nickel-Cadmium (NiCad) batteries are economically priced and possess high discharge rate with longer life. Besides this, it is one of the oldest cell types which are generally found in outdated laptop models. The popularity of these batteries suffered a setback on account of 'memory effect' therefore special care is required if one has to utilize it with high efficiency.
Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries differ from Nickel-Cadmium ones in some ways. NiMH batteries have 30% more capacity than the latter and also have less toxic substances. Batteries built from these are commonly used in laptops and they are cheaper than Li-ion batteries. This type of battery cell is very prone to memory effect and also Cheap Laptop Battery which means that laptop users must take good care in order to enhance the optimum run life.
Now, it will be fair to judge why the prices of laptops differ as the make and the model improves. The type of cells used in the making of the laptop battery has thus become a prerequisite in the pricing of the batteries. Cheap Laptop Battery from uncertified dealers can be a cause of alarm for any buyer considering the fact that low quality cell components are capable of breaking the functions of the system. Lithium ion battery is light weight, long lasting and more compact making it the top option for laptop owners. Another important point to remember before one set out to Purchase Order Laptop Battery is that it recommended that buyers look for compatible charger to your laptops to enhance your battery run life. Remember, the next time you order Discount Laptop Battery online simply ensure that you are looking out for quality cell components from authorized dealers and long lasting batteries instead of falling into marketing gimmicks.

Upgrade my HP Laptop Battery from NiMH to Li-Ion
NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion HP laptop batteries are all fundamentally different from one another and cannot be substituted unless the laptop has been pre-configured from the manufacturer to accept more than one type of battery chemistry. Please refer to your manual to find out which rechargeable battery types the laptop device supports or use our HP Battery Finder above to find all the compatible laptop batteries for your HP device. It will automatically list all of the battery chemistries supported by your specific device. If your device does allow you to upgrade the HP Laptop battery from NiMH to Li-Ion, you will typically get longer run times.
How can I maximize the performance of my HP laptop battery?
There are several steps you can take to help you get maximum performance from your battery for HP notebook:
Prevent the Memory Effect – Keep the HP laptop battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.
Keep the HP laptop Batteries Clean – It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the portable device.
Exercise the HP Notebook Battery – Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a HP laptop battery has not been usedfor a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.
Battery Storage – If you don't plan on using the replacement HP laptop battery for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. NiCad, NiMH and Li-ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to recharge the batteries before use.
What is the run time of Batteries-inc's replacement HP laptop battery?
HP laptop batteries have two main ratings on them: Volts and Amperes. Because size and weight of laptop batteries is limited when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings with Volts and Milliamperes. One thousand Milliamperes equals 1 Ampere. When buying a battery, select batteries with the most Milliamperes (or mAh). Batteries are also rated by Watt-Hours, perhaps the simplest rating of all. This is found by multiplying the Volts and the Amperes together.
Watt-Hours signifies the energy needed to power one watt for one hour. This HP laptop battery can power 57.60 watts for one hour. If your laptop runs at 20.50 watts, as an example, this laptop battery could power your laptop for 2.8 hours.
Understanding your HP Battery Needs
We strive to make you HP laptop battery purchases easy. Since we understand that finding the right batteries for your needs can be overwhelming and confusing at times we developed a laptop battery finder tool to help find the right size for the make and model of your equipment. We also offer educational articles and tips to help you conserve your batteries and understand common problems. By us providing education you are able to make the right purchasing decisions as well as provide proper care for all of your electronics.

Reviews for Breakfast Burritos with Sausage and Cheese
"I make these in advance and freeze them."
"I make a pretty close version of this. You can change the meat( use bacon or left over steak). and use your favorite sauted veggies. I've used onions & morel mushrooms with different cheeses. Create your own version( potatoes don't freeze well). wrap individually in plastic wrap & freeze. I thaw overnight in fridge before I brown on a skillet."
"Sounds good! Travlnman02-you shouldn't eat anything that has been "kept warm" for 6 hours! Make them, cool completely and then rewarm! I have made these for big groups and that works well."
"You need homemade salsa to start with.Fresh tomatoes, white onion, garlic cloves, seeded peppers of choice, cilantro, tomatillos, salt and Lemon Juice as a preservative. Cook the Sausage or Bacon seperately and drain, scramble the eggs, make hashbrowns and grate either Sharp Cheddar Cheese or Monterey Jack Chhese and then assemble according to tastes. When my children were young and we as a family would leave for a long trip I would make these and put them in an insulated chest in the car. I we were heading out to places like Las Vegas it took close to 11 hours to get thee so we left at 1:00 AM with them sleeping on the way. As daylight came they would wake up hungry and I would be out in the desert driving. The bag would open and they were the happiest bunch. The burritos also came in handy for school games and other long drives. Just wrap them in wax paper and foil, seperately. They stay warm for about 6 hours and or more and are even edible when they cool. Everything in the salsa goes in a blender to blend it together but leave it a little chunky when you finish."
"This is away mushy, and not much spice flavor, I would use hot sausage and mix a little Charizzo with it.good try but try again."

A MEMORY: It's 1957, and my father and I are both dressed nicely, as was typical in those days. My dad wears a suit and topcoat and hat; I'm in a dress, kneesocks, patent leather shoes and a dark wool coat with a matching bonnet. I'm about four. We seem to be at an amusement park, and to get to the attractions we have to walk through a large barrel that lies on its side. It's dark in the barrel, and as we step onto its polished floor, I realize it is turning. The idea is to keep walking, just keep up.
I can see light at the barrel's other end and can't understand why we don't just walk through. But the barrel is turning too quickly now. All we can do is try to keep upright, to run and keep running.
I am soon in trouble. I begin to cry. My father is ahead of me now, just a silhouette, his arms extended, his coat pirouetting about his legs as his feet fly over the polished wood. I am barely able to stand, and my panic shifts to anger. My father doesn't fall at all, nor does he pick me up.
In some split second, it's happened. He's ceased being my father. He's ceased being responsible for me. Won't entertain it. No.
We're just pals out on the town. Sailors. Buddies with a loose, friendly connection. We're on shore leave with just a few hours in which to have as much fun as possible. A little mischief. Some mild trouble. None the worse for wear. Don't spoil it. Don't ruin the moment.
As the barrel spins, my father begins to tap-dance his way up the inside of it and jumps back down, each time, at just the right moment. How is such a thing possible? Have I misremembered? No. My father was quicker on his feet than most men. He came from a family of dancers; his father and mother were both in vaudeville, and all their children learned to dance when other kids were learning to walk.
A man has hopped in with his girlfriend, and they are falling and laughing. I become entangled with them, and now I advance from anger to rage. My father grabs me by the hand and begins showing me how to move, gradually, toward the light of the exit. We walk against the barrel's turning, and I begin to see that walking straight ahead isn't the way. I walk up the barrel as my father holds my hand, heading obliquely for the opening, and in a moment he lifts me, and we leap out together, back into a world colorful, still and somehow sad.
THIS VISION—I have no idea what else to call it—this incident, this dream, is more than 50 years old. I have many of them, and a mind that elects to toss them up into my consciousness randomly. The plain truth is that I am an only child, and my parents' marriage was brief. Both of them are long deceased. So the question for me has been: How many of my memories can I bring to the surface, and how can I know which of them are true? I work on my memories a bit at a time. The ones here concern my father.
When I was in my twenties, thirties, forties, I tried coaxing meaning out of these snippets, these shards. I decided to run this particular recollection by a therapist. What did it actually say about my dad and me, I wondered. She answered curtly, saying something like, "Well, with what we know of your father, it is one more example of his complete inability to care for a child." But assessing my father along these lines has never yielded very much. I know that we are supposed to knit our lives together in tight narrative bundles—both the culture and our therapists tell us so. And yet I generally become confused somewhere along the line. "What am I doing?" I ask myself. It's the arc that seems inevitably to be imposed, the conclusions that must be drawn, that catch me up every time I try to confront memory. Memories are, for me, like a crate of eggs, each one a world. I resist breaking them.

WASHINGTON - Chronic angina sufferers gained another drug Friday to relieve the crippling pain that can strike when the heart fails to receive enough oxygen.
The Food and Drug Administration approved ranolazine for use in angina patients, agency spokeswoman Laura Alvey said.
The drug is for use by patients already taking calcium channel blockers, beta blockers or nitroglycerin, according to CV Therapeutics Inc.
The Palo Alto, Calif., company hopes to begin marketing the drug as Ranexa in March.
On The Net:
Food and Drug Administration: www.fda.gov
CV Therapeutics Inc.. Ranexa maker: www.cvt.com
About 6.5 million Americans have angina. Ranexa works by allowing the heart to pump more efficiently without the need for more oxygen, the company said.
The drugs currently used to treat angina either increase the supply of blood, which carries oxygen, or reduce the heart's demand for oxygen.
Ranexa acts by allowing the heart muscle, once contracted, to relax, said Dr. Louis Lange, the chairman and chief executive officer of CV Therapeutics. That in turn normalizes the flow of blood that had been restricted by the contracted heart, relieving the pain that accompanies it, Lange said.
The drug will be available as an extended-release tablet.
The European Medicines Agency in October demanded further trials of Ranexa before it would consider approving the drug.
