"For our congregation, part of what it means to be a beloved community of God's children is our commitment to making sure that no one faces discrimination because of who they are. There has been too much hurt, too much damage inflicted through acts of discrimination and it is at the core of the Christian gospel that this injustice must be corrected and the rights of all people protected." – Pastor Amy Schultz of Heidelberg United Church of Christ
This Saturday York People of Faith celebrate church welcome for LGBT people and call for statewide nondiscrimination protections at a special fundraising event and community concert.
Who: Equality Fest York, Heidelberg United Church of Christ
What: Coming Home: A Cultural Celebration of Reconciliation
When: Saturday, October 17, 2015, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Where: Heidelberg United Church of Christ, 47 West Philadelphia Street, York, Pa.
This event welcomes home LGBT Christian artists: singers, songwriters, poets, and visual artists who have often been made to feel unwelcome in the church, a place where they once felt at home. This event is a proclamation to the community that there are churches where all people are welcome and their gifts celebrated. The event will accept donations for admission and include performances of spoken word, poetry, music and a silent auction of local art to benefit the Equality Fest York Scholarship Fund.
Pastor Amy Schultz from Heidelberg United Church of Christ will offer reflections on why her faith commitments compel her to support LGBT people who face discrimination, including the LGBT people in her congregation. Local LGBT people will share stories of experiencing discrimination.
Attendees will take action to support the Pennsylvania Fairness Act (SB 974, HB 1510) by signing a faith petition and calling on state legislators to update the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act to protect LGBT people from employment, housing, and public accommodations discrimination, along with other minority groups.
As all this wonderful social justice and faith community awareness will take place amidst a celebration of local art (being silent auctioned off for the Equality Fest Scholarship Fund, an annual award given to an LGBT High School Senior who volunteers with Equality Fest), spoken word including Ladi Glori from Baltimore and TruPoet from Harrisburg, and local music including The Holland-Garcias and CAT, a popular acoustic indie duo from York comprosed of Cas Dell and Tara Jean, who will be sharing her story at the event along with her music.
With a pastor for a father and a church organist for a mother, it's no surprise that I grew up in a strong faith tradition. It was a miracle to know that I'd always be cared for and protected… unless I was gay. There would be no hope for me, then. So when I began to struggle with the gender I was assigned at birth, I feared for my salvation. I thought I could still be saved if I turned my thoughts away. From the earliest I can remember to the time I was 17, I tried to keep it to myself. I knew what the punishment was if I decided to be who I knew myself to be. So I tried to blend in, and began using homophobic slurs myself. Despite my repression, I was still beaten up in gym class because a classmate "thought" I was gay.
When I informed my summer job about my gender transition, I was told it was fine as long as my performance did not change. I had no issues in the two and a half years prior, and though my performance did not change, I was written up and fired. Simultaneously, I had a job tutoring at school. A friend outed me as transgender to my program directors. Soon after, I was told that my position would not exist after the current semester. My hiring manager fought the directors who said I was "no longer a proper representative of the institution," (an ironic statement after a year and a half of dedicated, reliable service,) and in retaliation, his employment contract was not renewed. When I found work again, I was in a warehouse working 12hr shifts. Harassment regarding my gender identity was frequent and unrelenting. One particular incident saw my next-cubicle neighbor shouting "You have something wrong with you. You must have unresolved trauma. Someone must have raped you. What you're doing is an abomination to God!" When her shouting called my manager's attention, I was somehow deemed the problem. Though my job performance was top-notch for seven months, I was fired again.
After this, I wanted to go to church. Sadly, my relationship had been broken by churches who still believe in "Don't ask, don't tell:" I was not harassed, but my story was not worth telling. It's a pure accident that I stumbled upon Heidelberg. Here, I've found a family that has not only accepted me as I am, but embraced me for who I am. This congregation is an embodiment of Jesus' love for all, but especially those scorned and rejected by society. That is the spirit in which we hold tonight's performance.

Snow can't slow Bison softball team
Did it snow in Hastings today? That probably would have been a plus for the McCook Bison girls softball team.
Not rain nor snow or sleet slowed down McCook during the Class B-6 District Tournament at Chadron last weekend. The Bison dropped a one-run decision to Lexington in opening-round action last Thursday dropping the locals into the loser's bracket. All McCook had to to then in order to secure a berth in the Class B State Tournament in Hastings this week, was to win five straight games, battling cold temperatures, rain and snow that blanketed Chadron and much of western Nebraska last weekend.
I wish I could have been there to watch the Bison girls battle. Coach Jason Cochran's squad avenged the first-round loss to Lexington during the march to the district title. Then McCook beat Scottsbluff twice to claim the district title and regain its rightful spot in the state tourney field. The Bison return to the state meet after missing out last year. Before that, McCook qualified for state nine consecutive years.
I also wish I could have been in Chadron to watch the Bison faithful cheer on the team. The Chadron State softball coach wrote a letter talking about the support of the McCook fans that was publisher earlier this week in these Sports pages. Sounds like some of the parents of McCook players grabbed shovels and helped scoop snow off the CSC field and grabbed rakes and helped get the field ready so their daughters could continue to compete in districts.
I have only been in McCook with my new job here a few weeks, but I am amazed at the community support for the local teams. I was invited over to the Carfield residence Sunday to retrieve photos of the Bison girls at districts. There in the garage out back was, I believe, almost all the parents of the Bison players, working diligently painting the special signs you can see displayed on the center island on Norris Avenue just north of downtown.
As you read this sometime Thursday afternoon or evening, the Bison girls were beaten by Blair in the first round of the Class B State Tournament. McCook and Blair played Thursday, after the state meet was pushed back a day due to inclement weather in the Hastings area Wednesday. Heck, I'm betting Coach Cochran's crew would have happily played Wednesday, no matter what the weather conditions were.
Regardless of the McCook results at state, the Bison have enjoyed a great season. McCook has just two seniors on the roster, and Cochran should have a tough team returning in 2010. The Bison went 8-2 in the final two weeks of the regular season, including wins over Class A North Platte and Kearney in the first two rounds of the Greater Nebraska Athletic Conference tournament, plus the five-game win streak at districts.
Cochran puts his team against the state's best competition during the regular season. The Bison faced 10 Class A teams, including two of the state's top-ranked squads in Papillion-LaVista and Lincoln Southwest during tournament action at Lincoln last month.
While McCook won just three of those games, the stiff competition will do nothing but make the Bison a better team.
I'm looking forward to watching these young ladies play next season. I think the Bison have a goal for 2010 to compete for the Class B state title. If they continue to play as tough as they did in the terrible conditions at Chadron last week, that goal will be realistically within reach.
Keeping busy ... It's been a busy week for yours truly, as the fall sports seasons are winding down, and the local teams are competing in district and state events. Good luck to the McCook cross-country teams at the B-4 District meet this afternoon in Ogallala. And good luck to the Bison boys competing today and Friday at the Class B State Tennis Championships in Omaha.
Also, congratulations to Shelby Allen, Alex Trew and Kaylee Samway for their efforts at the Class B Girls State Golf Championships earlier this week in Grand Island.
With volleyball and football action this weekend, it's another busy weekend. See you tonight at the Senior High gym, and tomorrow night at Weiland Field. Go Bison!

As the summer comes to an end Intelligent ILS asks Paul Schultz, CEO of Aon Securities, how he viewed the summer months and what the ILS market was likely to discuss at the Monte Carlo Rendez-Vous.
"The summer was not that active for cat bonds, I don't think that anything material happened from the first half of the year," says Paul Schultz, CEO, Aon Securities.
The themes of the first part of the year were probably greater volume in collateralised products versus cat bonds, and greater assets deployed for mangers as a whole.
"That's what we're likely to see moving forward as well: cat bond volume down, not necessarily a significant decline but probably not increasing either, and assets being deployed more on other collateralised strategies."

The symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be hard to manage. Symptom episodes may continue to interfere with normal activities well after an initial diagnosis and treatment. That can be discouraging and a cause of worry. It's reassuring to know that having IBS does not put you at an increased risk of developing other digestive disorders or diseases.
Despite this, there are times when it may be best for your doctor to review your symptoms and how they affect you. Here are suggestions for when to seek additional guidance from a medical professional.
Developments of Concern
Wrong beliefs about IBS may lead to distress, more doctor visits, and unneeded tests. It helps to know, IBS:
- Does not cause physical damage
- Does not increase the risk of colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, or other gut disorders
On the other hand, neither does IBS protect you from acquiring these conditions. It also can coexist with another disorder.
Two situations provide alerts that another disease might be present:
- The presence of an "alarm" symptom
- Increased personal risk
Alarm Symptoms – An "alarm" symptom, sometimes also called a "red flag," simply means a symptom not explained by IBS, which calls for additional investigation. These are symptoms and signs of an underlying disease that physically damages the gut.
Sometimes the most alarming of such symptoms, namely bleeding, turns out to be un-alarming after all, but you should always let your doctor know. Small amounts of bright red blood usually turns out to be from a hemorrhoid or small tear (fissure) in the anal passage. Rarely, it could be due to another condition that requires treatment. On the other hand, large amounts of red blood or black, tarry colored stool calls for urgent medical attention.
Here are some typical signs that call for special attention:
- New symptom onset at age of 50 or older
- Blood in the stools
- Nighttime symptoms that wake you up
- Unintentional weight loss
- Change in your typical IBS symptoms (like new and different pain)
- Recent use of antibiotics
- Family history of other GI diseases, like cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or celiac disease
Increased Personal Risk – Sometimes there is a factor in your life that may put you at greater than average risk of acquiring a serious intestinal disease. For example, if a parent or sibling has had colon cancer or even a precancerous colonic polyp, then your risk of polyps is greater than normal. Inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) tends to occur in families. Celiac disease, where essential nutrients fail to be absorbed, has its greatest prevalence among the descendents of people born in Northern Europe.
IBS patients are as likely as anyone to suffer an intestinal infection, which may add to and confuse the symptoms. You should be suspicious of an infection if:
- You have been traveling to tropical or developing parts of the world
- Friends and family are infected
- You have been exposed to possibly contaminated drinking water
Let your doctor know about any of these concerns.
When to See your Doctor
IBS follows an unpredictable course. There may be periods of relative calm, mixed back and forth with periods of pain or discomfort and chaotic bowel habit that interfere with your life. However, if the basic pattern of your bowel symptoms changes, or one of the situations described above occur, a visit to your doctor is in order.
Sometimes a drug you are taking for another purpose or something new in your diet may be responsible for the change, and your doctor can help you determine that. A visit also provides your doctor with the opportunity to review your diet, exercise habits, and drug regimen, and perhaps recommend changes.
Putting it all Together
IBS is long-term (chronic) and tends to repeatedly come and go over time. It does not predispose you to other GI disease. However, IBS does not protect you from the new onset of other disease. New and different symptoms may make you suspicious that something new is happening.
You should visit your doctor if you become aware of alarm symptoms or of a factor that might put you more than normally at risk of another disease. Your doctor may review your symptoms and perhaps perform certain tests.
Usually, if the original diagnosis was sound, recurrent, but similar symptoms do not signify a new disease.

Peach Leaf Curl
Peach leaf curl is a disease caused by the fungus Taphrina deformans. The fungus is specific to peaches and nectarines and can infect leaves and immature fruit. The disease occurs during cool wet weather at the time of leaf emergence and expansion. The fungus is present almost anywhere peaches are grown, but usually goes unnoticed during years in which it is warm and dry during the period from bud swell to leaf expansion. Due to the weather conditions in spring 2011, the disease was more common than usual in Utah peach orchards.
The fungus survives as blastospores on the bark of peach trees and near buds. During wet weather the spores are washed onto emerging leaves. The spores germinate and penetrate the leaves, inducing the distorted blister-like deformation. Taphrina deformans does not produce fruiting bodies. It forms a single layer of asci (sac-like structures that contain sexual spores) on the surface of discolored and distorted leaf areas. It is sometimes visible as a dusty cover on the leaves. The spores are released and are blown to the bark of trees where they survive during the summer. The sexual spores eventually germinate and produce blastospores. The blastospores multiply by budding (similar to yeast) and are washed onto new emerging leaves in the spring.
Taphrina deformans induces cells on the margins of infected leaves to multiply rapidly and randomly, resulting in deformation and curling. The infected distorted leaf parts are often yellow or red colored. Infected leaves eventually turn brown and fall off. Infected fruit may drop early or show wart-like symptoms when mature. The tree will leaf out to replace the fallen leaves, which can affect tree vigor and yield.
Infections occur only during temperatures between 50° and 70°F. Disease incidence is highest and most noticeable during wet conditions. During cool temperatures, expansion of young leaves is slower, allowing for a longer infection period. At higher temperatures, infection may occur, but symptoms will not develop due to faster expansion of the leaves. Once leaves have fully expanded they become resistant.
There are no management options after infection has occurred. Chemical management can be done in the fall with a single application of copper or chlorothalonil (both available for commercial and backyard plants). Cultural practices that can be used by homeowners include raking and removing leaves in the fall to remove as much inoculum as possible and using resistant varieties.

This light and healthy summer vegetable soup is a deliciously satisfying way to use some of the vegetables from your garden that can be so plentiful right now.
Or, if you are like me and don't have a garden, this summer vegetable soup will still be delicious made with vegetables from the grocery store!
Skinny on Summer Vegetable Soup
I adapted this summer vegetable soup recipe slightly from 5 Easy Steps to Healthy Cooking: 500 Recipes for Lifelong Wellness. A cookbook I've mentioned several times before, it's one of my favorites for easy, healthy and delicious dishes. And because complete nutrition is provided for each recipe, it's easy to calculate Weight Watchers Points. (Here's my complete review.)
Since I couldn't find whole grain orzo, I substituted the smallest whole grain pasta I could find. And it all turned out delicious.
This summer vegetable soup recipe makes 6 generous 1-3/4 cup servings, each with just *4 PointsPlus. I love to make a batch on Sunday to enjoy for lunch during the week.
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1-1/2 cups chopped onions
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced into half-moons
- 2 cans (14 to 15 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1-1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (frozen is fine too)
- 6 cups water
- 8 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- ½ cup whole wheat orzo (or other small pasta)
- 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, chopped, divided
- In a large saucepan or soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, salt and pepper and cook, stirring all the while, for 1 minute.
- Stir in the zucchini, tomatoes with their juice, corn and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Stir in the green beans, orzo and ½ cup of the basil and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender, 12 to 20 minutes. Stir in the remaining basil.

As extensive as this list of positive psychology books may be, it will never be 'finished' or 'complete'. To make the list as valuable as possible, your contribution is not only greatly appreciated, but necessary. So in case you know of any positive psychology books that aren't yet featured in the overview below, please add some by leaving a comment at the end of this page. Thank you!
Positive psychology books differ to commercialised self-help books primarily because they are based on a cumulative, empirical body of scientific research.
Professionalism is a requirement of the American Psychological Association (APA) ethical standards, meaning that the findings stated in the positive psychological literature have undergone rigorous peer reviewing. This is to ensure that readers are not mislead and to prevent misunderstanding, which could lead to problems.
Finally, a number of self-help books come from a negative, disease model, perspective on human functioning. It is positive psychology's aim to move away from pathologies and towards a science of positive subjective experience, individual traits, and interventions that improve quality of life and build factors that help individuals, communities, and societies flourish.

Quiet little Darla Lewis couldn't be happier when the most-feared member of the South's rowdiest pack kidnaps her.

Chapter OneHe spotted her as soon as she stepped out of the house and walked around her daddy's porch to stare out into the forest surrounding the home. His brothers had called her "cute" and "kind of pretty" while simultaneously ordering him to stay away because her big sisters wouldn't have any of it. But his brothers had been wrong. She wasn't cute or kind of pretty.
She was astounding.
Leaning back against his 1971 Plymouth GTX, Egbert Ray Smith—Eggie to his Pack and those of the United States Marine Corps that knew of his existence—watched the She-wolf softly sighing and rolling her eyes. Occasionally she shook her head. He knew why, too. It was all the arguing going on inside the house behind her. All that damn arguing. If he'd known he would be coming home to this, he wouldn't have come.
As it was, Eggie hated when he was forced on what the full-humans called "a vacation," or what his military brethren called "leave." He didn't need a vacation. He didn't want a vacation.
He was lucky enough to be one of the few men in the world who enjoyed what he did for a living, and what he did was kill. Not just randomly, though. He wasn't some murdering scumbag. No, Eggie killed with purpose, for the protection of his kind and the other breeds and species that he really didn't like or care about, but figured deserved protection just as much as anyone else who could shift into a completely different being.
Eggie was good at killing. Some would probably say it was the only thing Eggie Ray Smith was good at. So then why should he be forced away from the only thing he was good at just because his fellow Marines insisted that "Eggie's startin' to make us nervous." Eggie didn't understand how he did that. He wasn't doing anything different from what he did on any given day.
But because his entire platoon—the platoon with no name, no number, that was only known about by those who could grow fangs and claws whenever they wanted—suggested he needed "a break," Eggie was now on break.
So with nothing else to do for the next month or two, depending on when his superiors would need him back, Eggie had come home.
And up to three minutes ago, he was positive it had been the most idiotic decision he'd made in a long time. What with his brothers trying so desperately to secure themselves some females. Of course, for most wolf shifters, securing females simply meant seducing them or enticing them with still-thrashing elk.
Too bad the Smith males weren't like most wolf shifters.
None of Eggie's brothers seemed to understand the words "entice" or "seduce." Instead they argued with their She-wolves. Constantly. It had been bad enough with Eggie's two older brothers, Benjamin Ray and Frankie Ray, and his youngest brother, Nicky Ray, especially since one of their little gals was a bit of a spitter when she got real angry.
Yet nothing could top Eggie's younger brother, Bubba Ray, and his She-demon from hell, Janie Mae Lewis. Their daddy liked Janie Mae because she represented the kind of She-wolf he wanted all of them to take as a mate. Strong, confident—a natural Alpha. But because Daddy liked Janie Mae so much, Bubba had to be difficult. He had to play games. Even worse, Janie Mae played those games right back. Not even properly mated yet, the pair already had two boys, the She-wolf pregnant with Bubba's third, and still they had yet to settle down. Instead they bounced between the Pack territories of Smithtown, Tennessee, and Smithville, North Carolina—arguing the entire way, it seemed.
Eggie didn't understand all that arguing. Honestly, he didn't argue with people. He never had to. He either stared until the ones arguing with him went away or he killed them. There was never an in-between, so what was the point of arguing? Unfortunately Bubba didn't seem to have the same philosophy. All he did with Janie Mae was argue. In fact, Eggie had barely stepped into his parents' Tennessee home before his brothers propelled him back to his car and he was suddenly on his way to North Carolina. And Lord knew that had been the last thing he'd wanted to do.
Until the moment he saw her.
Yeah, she was definitely the youngest Lewis sister. The one the Lewises had never talked about whenever Eggie was around. Although, in his estimation, this sister was much prettier than the other four. She had long, straight brown hair, parted right in the middle and framing just the sweetest little face with those big brown eyes and pretty full lips. Plus she had what he could only call the cutest cheeks. Although he wasn't sure cheeks should be cute. Like the other Lewises, her nose was long and refined but she was smaller than her sisters. Barely five-eight or so. For a Lewis female, that was kind of short. For a Smith female, it would be considered downright tiny.
Eggie thought about going over there, introducing himself the way men do when they see a pretty woman they'd like to meet. But then he remembered who he was. He was Eggie Ray Smith, trained killer. What would a girl like her do with a wolf like him? Would she want him to be chatty? Buy her flowers? Kill a herd of elk? And her entire family already hated him on principle. What he did for a living wasn't exactly respected among many of the shifters, although it was needed to keep them all safe.
Nah. It was best not to get all involved in ... anything. It was best to stay right where he was. Here. On his car. Waiting for the yelling to stop so he could find a hotel in town and get some sleep.
So continuing to stare at the woman on that porch was not a good idea and he decided to study his feet instead— until he heard someone breathing.
And it wasn't him.
Of all the times for Darla Mae Smith's boss to send her home for a "visit"—a visit he'd insisted on for some unknown reason—why did it have to be now?
Honestly, only a boss with his own Pack would insist on this sort of thing. Lord knew a full-human chef never would. If they had their way, they'd never give their lowly staff any kind of break. But Darla didn't work for a full-human. No, she was an assistant pastry chef for a Van Holtz Steak House in San Francisco, and the Van Holtz wolves understood Pack life, so her boss—the executive chef and Alpha of the San Francisco Van Holtzes—had suddenly, out of the clear blue, insisted that Darla go home for a little "Pack time." Something most She-wolves who were forced away from their kin for one reason or another enjoyed. Then again, none of them had to deal with the darn arguing!
When Darla had called her daddy two weeks ago, it had just been him, Darla's momma, and her brothers. Her sisters were in Smithtown, Tennessee, dealing with the pain-in-the-butt Smith boys. So Darla had happily hitchhiked her way cross country, something she liked to do but didn't necessarily mention to her parents. But by the time she had made it to her home in North Carolina, her dang sisters were back and in the middle of their dang arguments! Not with each other, which she could barely tolerate, but with those darn Smith wolves.
And it wasn't even one argument, but several! Francie Mae, the oldest, was arguing with her mate, Benjamin Ray, about what Benji could and could not stick his big Smith nose into when it came to the Lewis family business. Roberta Mae and Frankie Ray were busy debating whether Robbie's skirt was long enough—apparently it wasn't— while Janette Mae and Nicky Ray were arguing about Nixon. Nixon, of all people!
But worse than all that was what was going on between Janie Mae and Bubba Ray Smith. The pair had been on-and-off-again for several years now. They played all sorts of games with each other, trying to make the other one jealous. When Janie had gotten pregnant with her first son, the family sort of sighed in relief, figuring the pair would finally become mates and end all the bickering.
That, unfortunately, did not happen. Instead, the bickering became worse. Much worse. Now, two sons later, with the third on the way, the pair traipsed back and forth between North Carolina and Tennessee, one usually following the other, stopping occasionally to argue in one of the midway rest stops that probably deserved better.
Was it really supposed to be this hard? Was love and caring supposed to be so ridiculously silly and demanding? Darla didn't think so. Neither did her friends in San Francisco—a lovely mix of shifters and full-humans that she'd met when she'd left home at eighteen to start her internship at the Baltimore Van Holtz restaurant. Lord, it was 1974! Wonderful things were happening all around them. Times were changing. There was beautiful music and people were beginning to realize that war and violence didn't answer all of life's tough questions. It was a time to travel and see the world, discover new and interesting people, religions, and species.
But Darla's kin was locked into a world Darla had no desire to be part of. One filled with jockeying for position in a Pack. Unlike their full-blood wolf counterparts, the shifters rarely settled for their position in life. They always wanted more or less or different, but never what they had. And anyone with a brain could see that what Janie wanted was to be Alpha Female of the Smithtown Pack. She couldn't and wouldn't settle for less, even if that meant booting Bubba's momma out of her current position as Alpha. Of course, that was just Janie Mae's way. And the rest of Darla's sisters, although older, were the perfect Betas. They'd fight for Janie to get her what she wanted, even if it meant going head to head with their own mates about it.
The question, Darla guessed, became what did Bubba Ray want? A few years shy of thirty and male ... he didn't know what the hell he wanted. Especially if it meant running off his own parents. But like the true Alpha Male Bubba probably would be, he would decide what he wanted when he was dang good and ready. Something Janie Mae wasn't happy about because even though she may not need to be Alpha today, at this moment, she wanted commitments that it would happen.
So the fighting went on. And on. And on.
If Darla had known this was going to be happening while she was here, she would have taken a break at a commune one of her friends had told her about. Or headed off to Europe and backpacked through France again. The Lord knew there was a world of fine pastries for Darla to experience and explore and learn to make in France. But she wasn't in France, she was here.
Maybe, in a day or two, she could split. Head out after getting a little time in with her parents, especially her daddy, who hated this fighting as much as Darla did. Until then, though, she'd have to settle for walking away from all the unnecessary crap going on in the house.
Jumping down the stairs, Darla headed into the woods. She hadn't gotten far, though, when she caught the scent of some unknown wolf on her parents' territory, coming upwind of her.
She stopped, turned. Darla sniffed the air again, then called out, "Hello?"
A twig snapped behind her and Darla spun, her fangs instantly bursting from her gums at the sight of the gun pointed at her. The man holding that gun blinked in surprise. It was only a moment, though. Only a moment of stunned confusion at the sight of fangs on a young woman in the middle of nowhere. Then the full-human male aimed his weapon and Darla unleashed her claws, readying her body to shift and strike. Hoping the surprise at seeing her as wolf would give her the precious seconds she'd need to tear his throat out.
Darla's muscles trembled seconds before she launched herself, shifting in midair as she flew at the man. But the gun never went off. The wolf she'd scented earlier now stood behind the human. The hand holding the gun was crushed, the neck snapped.
Yanking herself away so as not to hurt the wolf, Darla somersaulted back, her wolf body slamming into a large tree. When she hit the ground, she looked up at the male wolf. She didn't recognize him as someone she personally knew, but she knew he was a Smith. Normal wolves didn't have shoulders that wide or necks that thick. He also had a full beard and dark hair that hung to his shoulders and in his face, making her wonder how he managed to see anything at all.
He stepped toward her, wolf eyes glaring down at her. At least ... she thought he might be glaring. It was hard to tell.
Darla started to stand up but the glaring Smith wolf pulled the biggest hunting knife she'd ever seen. Positive he was about to cut her throat because he considered her weak by Smith standards, she recoiled away from him, her back pressing into the tree.
He didn't, however, kill her, but turned and threw that knife, impaling the human male who'd been coming up behind him.
That's when Darla realized that the first human hadn't been alone. Lord. How many humans were running around her little town? Where were the town's deputies? Where were the other Smith and Lewis wolves? The bears? The lions? Was everybody at the bar just drinking? How was this acceptable?
But most importantly, why did all these human males seem to be coming to her? Honestly, Darla would be in big trouble if it weren't for this oversized Smith wolf who looked like he never smiled.
The wolf walked over to the human male, who was now on his knees, the life from him gone. Before the body dropped to the ground, the wolf yanked the knife from the human's head and snatched the gun from the human's hand. The wolf had just tucked the gun into the waistband of his jeans when another human charged.
Darla would have warned the wolf but she didn't have to. He moved so fast, yanking a second hunting knife from a sheath tied to his thick thigh. Slicing up, cutting the inside of the man's leg, then he stood and slashed the blades across, nearly taking the man's head off.
Again the wolf looked down at her, bringing one big forefinger to his lips. "Sssssh," he whispered and disappeared into the woods.
Although Darla didn't see anything, she could hear well enough. The sounds of dying men as that big wolf went about killing them. Something that would normally horrify Darla. She was a pacifist after all. And yet ... she wasn't horrified; she just didn't know why.
Then she felt something sticky under her paw. She leaned down, sniffed. Blood. Her blood.
It must have been when she'd hit the tree. She knew she'd hit it hard but not this hard. She thought about calling out to her family. Howling. Or even calling to the wolf. But she was suddenly so weak and tired.
Maybe if she just closed her eyes for a bit ...
* * *
Eggie finished the last human, his hand around the man's mouth, one of his favorite knives tearing open a hole from bowel to stomach. When the man stopped struggling, he dropped the body, took the weapon, and headed back toward the little Lewis girl. He briefly stopped to pull his second favorite knife from the open mouth of the other man, quickly wiping it on the man's clothes before sliding the blade back into its sheath.
He stepped out of the woods into the small clearing.
"You all right?" he softly asked the She-wolf, his gaze scanning the woods for any more skulking humans—the only species he knew that skulked, by the way. But when he didn't get an answer, he focused on her.
She looked like she was sleeping but he doubted it. Poor little thing had been too terrified for a wolf-nap. He walked over and crouched beside her, his wolf gaze instantly picking up the blood that had pooled in the leaves she'd landed in. He remembered her body hitting the tree, so he pulled her a bit away from the trunk and saw what appeared to be a low-growing branch that jutted out.
Carefully, Eggie felt around the back of the She-wolf's neck and found the wound. If she'd been human, she'd be dead, but she was wolf and that had saved her life.
Sighing, Eggie glanced back at the trail that would lead to the Lewis family house. He could still hear his and her idiot kin arguing and, to be quite honest, he was damn unimpressed with this town's idea of basic protection. An infiltration like this would never have happened in Smithtown. Any outsiders were caught at territorial lines and, if their presence was just an accident, and they hadn't seen anything they shouldn't have seen, then they were sent on their way with a good ol' Tennessee, "We don't like strangers 'round here" dismissal. But, if they were trying to get on Smithtown territory or if they did see something that couldn't be explained away—then things were handled differently. Often by the females of the town.

Great title! This book was great. One of the best i read this month
I won an ARC of this book from Ms. Laurenston and I really enjoyed it. I loved reading Eggie and Darla's story and finished it in one night. I was born in 1968, so the references to 1974 were amusing as I remember alot of them. I've been a big fan of Ms. Laurenston's shifter series for years now and can't wait for the next installment. I enjoyed Ms. Eden's story as well. I plan to check out some of her other work.
LOVED reading about Eggie and Darla. I always enjoyed seeing their appearances in Shelly's books. It was great to finally know their story. Darla is sweet as honey, but tough as nails. Eggie is adorable in being clueless about what to do with her. And yet still manages to protect her and kill people trying to kill her. You have to love the match up of a pacifist flower child and a trained killer. It was fun seeing the dynamic between the big and bad Smith brothers and the even tougher Lewis sisters. And I liked how Shelly tied Eggie and Darla's story from almost 40 years ago to the present stories by telling how the ladies car race got started. If you like the Pride Stories Series, you will enjoy this blast from the past. I never read anything from Cynthia Eden before. But I liked her Wed or Dead story with Kayla and Gage. One thing I didn't understand was, why stage a story in Las Vegas, but hardly have any action in the city itself? Most of the action takes place in the desert. But maybe that question is answered in one of her other books. That's one thing I like about anthologies, you usually buy them because they have stories from one or two of your favorite authors. But they are a good way to see other authors' works without paying for separate books. I'm not sure if I will buy any more of Cynthia Eden's books because I am so far behind in reading and seem never to get caught up. But I will keep her in mind if I want to try someone new.
This book contains two wolf-shifter stories by Shelly Laurenston and Cynthia Eden. I bought it because I enjoy Shelly Laurenston's Pride series (also her dragon series as G.A. Aiken). In Like a Wolf With a Bone by Shelly Laurenston we learn the story of how Eggie and Darla Smith (Dee-Ann's parents from Big Bad Beast (Pride, #6) ) got together. Egbert "Eggie" Ray Smith has a reputation even among his own kin of being slightly psychotic. Darla Lewis is the "quiet" Lewis sister. But there is someone for everyone and for Eggie its Darla. Darla gets the monosyllabic Eggie to open up if only to her and Eggie finds the one person on the planet who isn't afraid of him. The only book I've read by Cynthia Eden up till now is Hotter After Midnight and to be honest I don't remember it all that well. I guess I need to go back and re-read it. The second story in this book is Wed or Dead by Cynthia Eden in which we find the alpha wolf-shifter of the Las Vegas pack, Gage, marrying a human hunter, Kayla. She knows he is a wolf-shifter but thinks he doesn't know she is a hunter. It all started out as a job for her. Get close to Gage then kill him only she didn't count on falling for the big lug. As I said at the beginning I bought this for the Shelly Laurenston story and wasn't disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised by the Cynthia Eden story.
Like a Wolf with a Bone by Shelly Laurenston Egbert "Eggie" Ray Smith is one of the most-feared members of the rowdiest packs in the South. And once he kidnaps Darla Mae Lewis nothing is ever the same again. Darla Mae Lewis couldn't believe her luck when Eggie kidnapped her. Sometimes a girl gets very tired of her family being overprotective of her. Eggie has managed to start a pack feud and unleash Darla Mae's instincts all at the same time. Now Darla Mae can't wait to see what comes next. Wed or Dead by Cynthia Eden Gage Ryder knew his human bride could be wild. What he didn't plan on was spending his honeymoon night trying to stay ahead of the hunters that are trying to finish him and his pack off. He might have fun playing with hunters under different circumstances but not on the one night he was looking forward to. Now Gage will do whatever it takes to uncover all of Kayla's secrets and get to the truth. He just has to make sure he doesn't' get trapped in his own seductive game. This is another great story from both of these authors and that are sure to make them both auto-buys for many readers. Shelly's story is sure to have readers in tears from laughing so hard and Cynthia is sure to have them in tears that the story is over. This can be a very fast read for some readers but it is one that shouldn't be missed for anything. The stories pull the reader in and refuse to let go for any reason. The characters are fun and engaging.
Wow, this dynamic duo of authors really put together a kick ass anthology that I highly recommend! Two distinct stories featuring different types of shape shifters, but both containing sizzling romance and awesome plotlines. I love both these authors, and can't wait to read the next books in their series!
Very enjoyable. 4.5 *Book source ~ Many thanks to Kensington for providing a review copy in exchange for an honest review. Howl For It contains two paranormal stories by authors I love. To read. Authors I love to read. *cough* Like a Wolf with a Bone by Shelly Laurenston is about Eggie Ray Smith and Darla Mae Lewis, parents to the scary Dee-Ann Smith of many Pride books. Eggie Ray is one scary killer and Darla Mae is a pacifist. Well, she's as much of a pacifist as a wolf shifter can be. The two shouldn't have a thing in common, but their chemistry is off the charts and they find they can rub along quite well together. Now, if they can just keep their annoying families out of their business then Eggie won't have to kill any of his, or her, kin. My only complaint about this story is that it is too short. I can read Pride books forever and never want them to end. I love the snarky conversation, the descriptions, the shifter interactions and the humor. When I open a Pride book I know I'm going to be entertained and I was not disappointed in this one. I actually rate this a 5 biter even if it was more of a snack than a meal. Wed or Dead by Cynthia Eden seems to be set in the same world of her Night Watch and The Fallen series. Same world but maybe only loosely connected though I'm not positive. Anyway, Gage Ryder is a wolf shifter, the Alpha of Las Vegas and he's being hunted. Kayla Kincaid is human, but she's also something else. A Hunter. When her boss orders her to get close to Gage she does so. And when Gage asks her to marry him, her boss orders her to do so. But when he tells her to stab Gage in the heart with a silver blade on their wedding night, she just can't do it. So with a Hunter team closing in, Gage and Kayla make a run for it together though neither one trusts the other. And that makes for a shaky start to a marriage. I always enjoy Cynthia Eden's writing and characters. The plot on this could have used a bit more in the pre-planning stage instead of starting with Kayla walking down the aisle. I was a bit confused as to what the hell was going on and it made me a tad cranky. However, the plot picks up, things are explained and I was soon on the same page as the characters. If this is a short story introducing us to a new series I look forward to reading more. 4 bites and a nibble out of 5.
This is a fun, two-in-one paranormal book with two very different stories. The first story is the one that really piqued my interest, having become what can only be described as a squeeing fangirl of Shelly Laurenston's books. Her humor just does it for me, but I was curious how she could turn the scariest, most violent character in her series into a hero. We find out in this prequel novella, Like a Wolf with a Bone. Egbert Ray Smith is one scary guy. Even his own family is leery of him and the ease with which he takes life. But he is also very protective, and those protective instincts take center stage when he saves the youngest Lewis sister, Darla Mae, from an attack. And once he has her in his care, he's reluctant to let her go. Darla, a pastry chef for a ritzy shifter restaurant, is intrigued by this taciturn wolf who is at ease with violence. For those who are fangirls, too, this is Dee-Ann's parents' story. And I don't think there's anything more adorable than the intense Eggie being so discomfited by a wolf famous for her pie. This is classic Shelly Laurenston. Meaning, you'll be laughing at the turns of phrase, the situational humor, and the tongue-in-cheek sarcasm while watching a really unlikely couple make a life together. I'm less familiar with Cynthia Eden's series, having only read one previous book, but Wed or Dead clicked with me in ways the prior book did not. It is more action-packed than Laurenston's story and has far less humor. If the characters weren't furry, this would be a solid romantic suspense story. As a bonus, it's easily read as a stand alone.

Fujifilm unveils X-S1 high-end superzoom and confirms Mirrorless intentions
Fujifilm has announced the X-S1 high-end superzoom and confirmed its intention to build a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. The X-S1 is an addition to the company's X-series and is built around the same 2/3" EXR CMOS sensor as the recently announced X10. Meanwhile, company president and CEO Shigetaka Komori said it will create a mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera built around a larger sensor with 'resolution and low noise [that] will surpass the 35mm full size sensor.' We're not taking this to mean it will be a full-frame camera. More details will be announced nearer the Spring 2012 launch. The X-S1 features a 26x, 24-624mm equivalent F2.8-5.3 zoom and will be available from early 2012. (via DCWatch)
Canadian Fuji representatives, using the Twitter account '@fujiguys' have added:
'Fujifilm X Series Interchangeable lens system not = M4/3 nor current mirrorless cams. X series will be "premium" cameras!.'

Yes Davo, I reckon we're all being taken for a ride with that image. A put-up job for sure.
- Dave
If this is a mirrorless camera, then why does it have a hump for the pentaprism?
All the comments about how ugly the new X-S1 is are ridiculous! I've never bought a camera for how it looks, but rather for how it works! With its new sensor, this camera has the potential to raise the bar for image quality in the SuperZoom class. If it does, who cares how it looks? Unfortunately, it appears that audio quality in video mode is not a priority (not that any of the superzooms are great in this respect, but the new FZ150 is decent), as the microphones are largely hidden behind plastic, with only 5 tiny holes allowing sound to each of the mics. Can you say "poor frequency response"?
But it's primarily a photo camera, and in that respect, its potential is quite interesting, ugly or not.
We'll wait and see. Image quality through the zoom range is a question as is
the shutter lag which seems to be inherent in bridge cameras. If Fuji can overcome these with images of their usual outstanding color, this camera could be a marketplace. What would be the real kicker is to put an interchangeable lens on this compatible with their "new" system (presumed to be a rangefinder type) so that a user could not only have a choice of lenses but on bodies. At least they're not using a toy sensor or some other dead end technology like m43.
Fuji should get their act together with the X100 before hawking these new models around,
My five month old X100 is on its way back to Fuji to have sticking blades repaired along with god knows how many others!!!!
I like the sensor size as this is usable (I have the Olympus XZ1 which I carry everywhere and this gives a good blow up quality from a 7.89 x 5.81mm sensor size (this one is 8.8x6.6mm).This will make a good all in one travel camera when an SLR is too much to carry. I just hope that there is a good resolution in the electronic viewfinder as the manual focus and zoom ring will need this. I certainly will be buying one if the viewfinder is good. I hate the current crop of mirrorless SLR style cameras which look like you are peering into minestrone soup!!
In terms of size, this is so close to that of a DSLR, one has to wonder why you would want this? The x100, x10 makes sense to me but I don't get this.
A DSLR with a 400mm f5.6 lens (zoom lens or not) will be much larger in size. And you don´t need to change lenses either. All in one package. So I can understand why people get their interest in this one.
For those who travel, this can be a versatile camera without requiring you to lug additional lenses and swap them constantly.
So, if it has a good GPS-tagging implementation, it would be something I can get to replace my Sony HX100v (which has a poor GPS implementation -- GPS has to lock anew every time you turn on the camera -- so it's useless for quick travel shots).
Plus it has a larger sensor, so hopefully there will be less of a watercolor effect at larger magnifications.
i have used DSLRs (canon 7D 60D 1000D 1100D) and the fuji HS10 (witch is a not as good version of this) and the "bridge" camera is so good on travel light weight amazing staiboliser(sorry its 4AM here) feels so good with the real zoom ring and focus! and never needing to invest more in lenses dude come on! this is such a good camera and as and idia i think it is amazing to guve DSLR countrol and qualty in a package that can be used PAS simpe
Hopefully this will overcome some of the limitations of the S200EXR. In EXR modes the DR or noise are excellent depending on which EXR mode is selected, but fine detail is blurred even in 12MP mode.
The HS10 and HS20 extended the zoom but went to a smaller sensor than the S200EXR, so I've been thinking of going to DSLR.
The X-S1 might tempt me to stick with Fuji, but it will need to be priced right, and offer a significant improvement in IQ over the S200EXR in all modes.
When I bought the S200EXR it wasn't a great deal cheaper than an entry level DSLR, and it starts to get a bit shaky at full zoom without a tripod or higher ISO although it's not a 'super zoom'.
I occasionally make some quite large prints, so it's a shame the X-S1 sensor is only effectively 6MP in EXR mode. Put the 16/8MPixels EXR of the HS20 on a large sensor, with a reasonable zoom, and you've just about got my ideal all-in-one.
i have purchased sony dsc hx100v digital camera with 30x zoom and 16 mp, now i have noticed sony a290y with 2 lens camera, is my camera 100v is better then a290y, my use is not too much.........pl suggest
I really hope this live view 2/3 sensor delivers at 6mp in the 2 exr modes, 24-620mm with fast glass would be a dream with all that room around the manual focus and manual zoom rings. Velvia, Provia and Reala modes roll off like film, a huge bonus. I hate waiting, so much promise, too much anticipation - lol.
Funny, it looks like the early digital rebels. It does bring to mind the most maligned kit lens.
This camera is rather ugly compared to it's two gorgeous family siblings. I hope they at least change the "leatherized" finish on those parts where it makes no sense, because apart from the looks I think this camera could be a real hit. A metal housing would be too much to wish for, I am afraid ... ?
Jiayue4art, Fuji are putting out mirrorless cameras of the rangefinder-type. i dont think they are trying to compete with the 5d or any typer of DSLR
Fujifilm is late....I do not think the new canon 5d mark3 and sony NEX, A77 will leave much more space in the market for Fujifilm. Sony just anounced A900 had been discontinued, so the new placement sould be coming soon, and there was a message about Canon leaked out that new canon DSLR will be out. well, good luck .....fujifilm
Put on it tiltable LCD (like nikon d5000, sony nex7), square (1:1or 6:6) aspect ratio in RAW and it will be THE new big thing (a true mini-hassie or mini-rollei with wideangle and superzoom....). It should be what myself and a lot of people are waiting for a lot of time ....
Looks heavy, I'm prioritizing size, weight and image quality lately, like the Sony C3 :P
already having an fz35, it's light and good during daylight, love it. But for indoor it's really unacceptable...
People have been asking for a superzoom with a larger sensor for some time. I have been looking to upgrade my Panasonic FZ18 but all the cameras that come close are 1/2.3" sensor. If this has the IQ and the feature set to match then This will become my choice. 12 Mp not too much. Big but OK for me so long as I don't have to carry an additional kit bag (lenses, flash etc.). Don't like the manual zoom because I prefer one hand operation but that's just me. Will wait to see specifications.
I think it looks AWESOME! I also noticed the Made in Japan writing on it, which will put me right in the line to get one. Fuji is rockin' the boat...
Actually for this zoom range, 2/3'' sensor is quite good(FZ-50 had 1/1.8'' with 12x).
I am happy to keep my s3 for commercial digital work, and my film staff Nikon and Mamyia (F2, F3,FM2, mamyia 645) for art, when i see all that plastic garbage around..
I'm wondering which interchangeable lenses will be used for the mirrorless system...
"The X-S1 features a 26x, 24-624mm equivalent ... zoom"
So why come a lot of idiot comment with "ugly"??!
It's a very innovative camera with special sensor size and lens combination!
Some say "You can not compare X-S1 with the other new superzooms on the market" and maybe thats a fair statement. But that also means that Fujifilm has (re)created a new segment where the X-S1 will stand alone :-)
This camera still falls into the P&S superzoom category as that is typically defined as fixed lens cameras with double-digit zoom range with auto focus/exposure. Just because it has a bigger sensor doesn't make it a new market segment - it will still compete primarily with the FZ150, SX40HV, HV100X, etc. when it launches. Gladly, it will also compete with M4/3, NEX, and some dSLRs if it lives up to the hype. :)
I guess the X-S1, with a small sensor, is the same size as the Panasonic G 3 with an micro 4/3 sensor, so why even think about it.
I like the Fuji X 10 for its smaller size and the fast lens for street photography, having a leicastyle viewfinder is the biggest plus for me.
I am still looking for the perfect back up camera for my Nikon Dslr, I checked out Panasonic. Olympus and Sony. so far Sony Nex has the best manual focus system when using Nikon lenses in manual mode.
I still hope one day there will be the perfect light camera out for my project ''Childhood Memories''. Have a look at: http://www.gofundme.com/6n2tk
Why think of it? Here's why: the X-S1 will allow perhaps a 28mm to 728mm equivalent zoom range with a single lens, with a decent F2.8 aperture at the wide end. The 600mm equivalent m4/3 telephoto lens is slower, costs a heap, and you need another expensive lens to shoot wide. The 2/3" sensor will beat the 1/2.3" sensors standard for competing super zoom models. The X-S1 is about the size of a small DSLR, but a fast DSLR lens over 250mm can cost a fortune and be as inconvenient as an RPG launcher.
I hope for a 14mp APS-H CSC from fuji that has a sensor optimised for dynamic range/signal to noise.
This megapixel lunacy needs to stop when 12mp RAW outputs from a D700 have a higher effective resolution than higher MP APS-C counterparts with higher megapixel counts.
I really wish for something along the lines of a finepix S5.
Fujifilm Unveils FinePix S100FS http://shrt.fm/qGwWT6
Other than the photo there are no details - there is nothing to discuss.
I hope Fuji will not follow megapixel race, but instead of that really will cut down noise levels with fewer MP. At least give the choice to customers to those whose main objective is cropping and to those which want smaller file size (faster capture, faster post-processing, faster file transfer, saving memory space) and less noise instead.
That ugly rubber around the lens looks like it was re-used from a $50 spotting scope or maybe just a cut and fit strip (seam hidden). I suspect the lens is a mock-up, even if the camera is a prototype.
Of course, it could be a weatherproofing feature too.
''That ugly rubber around the lens looks like it was re-used from a $50 spotting scope''..
Ahahahaha!! the designers of that company is like a spy from other company to destroy fuji.. ..

Of course, it could be a weatherproofing feature too.
The other point is comments by the boss of Fujifilm (did you know they made cosmetics too? Me neither!) to Reuters about a potential MILC with EVF (we know they can do that).
I expect perhaps EVF MILC with APS-C sensor (they can do all of those bits reusing some of the X100 technology). With all lenses done in house (i.e. not m43).
A while back with rumors of a Fuji m43 flying around someone posted pictures (that folks didn't believe) that look rather like a early prototype of the X-S1
Folks claimed it was a HS10 with lens removed: they were partly right (it isn't a MILC but a superzoom with lens detached) but look at the details they don't match up with a HS10.
Ribbing on the zoom lens (and the size/look too). The body has evolved (better sloping; more rounded) but the small basic features (two dials on RHS, a couple of buttons; Pentaprism-oid flash unit with EVF behind, etc) look very similar.
Even the purported spec (12Mpx ... EXR) is similar.
nice looking controls but a tiresomely familiar typo in the sensor size: "same as the X10" I can believe - but the X10 has a 1/2.3" sensor (6.6mm x 8.8mm = 11mm diagonal; 11mm = 25.4/2.3)
I keep seeing people carelessly write 2/3" instead of 1/2.3"...
believe the mm dimensions, and never mind the inches - people can't write fractions properly.
Your comment only showed your ignorance. Read the article on this website to learn how 2/3", 1/2.3" etc. are called "types" instead of "fractions": http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/Glossary/Camera_System/sensor_sizes_01.htm
Quote: "The size designation does not define the diagonal of the sensor area but rather the outer diameter of the long glass envelope of the tube."
X-S1 looks quite ugly, but 624mm at f5.3 is pretty impressive number, especially if it will be decent lens.. It looks like bad plastic toy, but if they manage to put something good inside, no prob in using that.
It's interesting they've decided to give this the X branding as it has a lot more in common with the Fuji S100fs / S200EXR than the X100 or X10
Finally!... With X-S1 perhaps we'll have the real successor of the great s100fs!

What is in the Collection?
The collection consists of a name index to Louisiana deaths. The statewide records for all parishes cover 1911-1956. Coverage outside these dates for individual Parishes varies. This collection does not include records for deaths from 1875-1893 and has only a few entries for 1894-1904. Death records for 1850-1875 are for Jefferson Parish only. Additional death records that are not yet published online can be viewed on microfilm at the Family History Library and at Family History Centers.
Collection Content

What Can this Collection Tell Me?
Information that may be found in the Louisiana Death Records, depending on the time period, include:
- Full name
- Place and date of death
- Age and birthplace (city or town, state or foreign country)
- Marital status and sometimes name of spouse
- Date of birth
- Sex
- Race
- Names and birthplaces of parents
- Occupation
- Place and date of burial
- Cause of Death
- Name of informant
- Social Security number (later records)
- If veteran, name of war (later records)
- Length of stay in community (later records)
- If the deceased is a citizen of a foreign county, the name of the country (later records)
How Do I Search the Collection?
To begin your search it is helpful to know:
- The name of your ancestor.
- The death date and death place.
- The names of family members and their relationships.
Search by Name by visiting the Collection Page:
Fill in the requested information on the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the individuals in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to find your ancestor. Keep in mind:
- There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
- You may not be sure of your own ancestor's name.
- Your ancestor may have used different names, or variations of their name, throughout their life.
- If your ancestor used an alias or a nickname, be sure to check for those alternate names.
- Even though these indexes are very accurate they may still contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned.
For tips about searching on-line collections see the on-line article [FamilySearch Tips and Tricks].
What Do I Do Next?
When you have located your ancestor in the death index, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family.
I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now?
- Obtain the actual death certificate.
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find or verify their birth records and parents' names.
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
- Use the residence and names of the parents (if the deceased is a child) to locate church and land records.
- Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
- You may need to compare the information of more than one family or person to make this determination.
- The name of the officiator is a clue to their religion or area of residence in the county.
- The name of the undertaker or mortuary could lead you to funeral and cemetery records which often include the names and residences of other family members.
An index to the Orleans parish death records beginning in 1804 can be found at The USGenWeb Archives Project: Louisiana, Orleans Parish. An index to these records and the Orleans parish death records is available at the Louisiana Government website.
I Can't Find Who I'm Looking for, What Now?
- Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for alias names, nicknames and abbreviated names.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby counties.
- Try alternative search methods such as only filling in the surname search box (or the given name search box) on the landing page leaving the other box empty and then click on search. This should return a list of everyone with that particular name. You could then browse the list for individuals that may be your ancestor.

Outlook We should cheer yesterday's unemployment numbers. The economic recovery is clearly under way and creating work – albeit mostly of the part-time or self-employed variety.
But, as the Bank of England's Governor, Mark Carney, stressed yesterday, unlike France and others on the Continent, GDP is still not back to pre-crisis levels.
That's reflected in the fact that average wage growth remain dismally low – just 1.4 per cent. Pay will stay that way until productivity improves, and that won't happen until businesses feel confident enough to invest in better kit.
The economic headlines are improving, but with just a year to go until the general election, voters are still not feeling any better off.Reuse content
