I am SO excited to share this recipe with you all today!
First, it is from my newest love – The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook by the amazing Deb Perelman. You've seen her across this screen many times, both as the subject of "blove", as well as the many recipes I've posted.
Guys – get this book. It is charming, funny and filled with the most delicious, doable recipes. And I can say this with much confidence, since I not only bought a copy for myself, but I gave two as gifts to friends – one a professional cook, the other a baker. They both love it.
So there's that.
Then there's my lifelong pursuit of a really, truly, must-have breakfast cookie. Ever since my first challenging eater was born over 20 years ago, I've been trying – and failing – to bake the "ultimate" breakfast bar/cookie/square. You know, one that qualifies as healthy food first (not some bulked up cookie in disguise), but one that I would love to eat too.
This. Is. The one.
Finally (drum roll please) – it's dairy free! Holla!
One of the stranger things I've noticed this month is that I am hungry pretty much all day long. My appetite itself has decreased, so I'm not eating as much at each sitting – but I'm eating what feels like all the time. So I've been stocking up on high protein, filling, and of course satisfying options. These bars are divine, and will be a staple here long after my dairy-free month is over.
Have any of you bought the book yet? I know there are a bunch of Smitten fans out there.
on weighing ingredients
my favorite baking tips and tricks
from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook
2 c. (300 g.) chopped dried pitted dates (I use pre-chopped if I can find them)
2 1/2 c. (220 g.) quick rolled oats
1/4 c. + 2 T. (44 g.) whole wheat flour
2/3 c. (70 g.) wheat germ
1 c. (110 g.) sliced almonds
1 t. salt
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 c. (130 g.) almond butter
1/2 c. olive oil
1/2 c. honey
1/2 t. grated orange zest
1/2 t. almond extract
Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9 x 13 pan with your parchment "sling" (I used two pieces of parchment here, one in each direction).
Combine the dates, oats, flour, wheat germ, almonds, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond butter, olive oil, honey, orange zest and almond extract. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture, and stir together until evenly combined. Spread the batter into the prepared pan, pressing the mixture firmly onto the bottom, edges and corners (Deb suggests using a piece of plastic wrap to keep your hands from getting sticky – worked like a charm).
Bake the bars for 30-35 minutes, until they are golden brown all over. Cool the bars completely in the pan on a cooling rack. When cool, transfer to a cutting board – using your "sling" to assist – and place in the fridge for a few hours (this will greatly facilitate cutting into neat squares).
Remove from fridge and cut into desired bars – I got 24 squares from mine.
This delicious recipe brought to you by Donuts, Dresses and Dirt
Note: The recipe in the book is for half this amount, baked in an 8 x 8 pan. I would definitely double. The bars are a little thicker and chewier when baked this way, which I prefer. And since they freeze beautifully you'll be glad – once you taste them – that you have plenty stashed away. Trust me, these will disappear before you know it!

Washington, Jan. 9 (ANI): Mariah Carey, who famously had a fight with Nicki Minaj in last season's 'American Idol,' made up with the singer by watching her sex tape.
The new judges on the hit Fox show were forced to address their backstage clash during the 2013 Winter TCA tour at Langham Hotel in Pasadena, California on Tuesday, January 8, Us magazine reported.
When the ladies were asked by the reporters about how they patched up, Minaj jokingly said that she put on her sex tape and then both of them watched it. (ANI)


text: When DMX first exploded onto the hip-hop scene in 1997, his charismatic presence, ferocious flow, and inability to stay out of prison for more than a few months at a time earned him some fairly obvious comparisons to Tupac Shakur. But while DMX's show-stopping turns on tracks from LL Cool J, The Lox, and others seemed to earn him the perilous title of 2Pac's heir apparent, his unremarkable debut album made him seem more like a feral, cartoonish parody of the late rapper's gun-toting, thug-life persona. Like Jagermeister, DMX is potent in small doses, but not particularly advisable in large quantities. In keeping with the ragingly paradoxical spirit of mainstream gangsta rap, his second album of 1998, the ponderously and unpleasantly titled Flesh Of My Flesh Blood Of My Blood opens with a song in which DMX wallows in the blood of his enemies and concludes with the epic "Ready To Meet Him," during which he pleads with the Lord to help him preach to the souls of the lost. In between, he offers fleeting moments of moral complexity and lyrical depth, but ultimately piles on mindless, nihilistic clichés with a heavy, blood-soaked hand. Indulging a homophobic streak that seems to exist solely to overcompensate for the homoerotic nature of the oft-shirtless DMX's songs, videos, and persona, Flesh Of My Flesh Blood Of My Blood is a singularly nasty piece of work, an album so bleak and gore-soaked that it often seems like a perverse attempt to bring horror-rap back into the mainstream. But while much of the record is hopelessly, unimpressively regressive, it does have its moments. On the aforementioned "Ready To Meet Him" and the mournful "Slippin'," DMX shows signs of escaping the artistic straitjacket gangsta rap has become. On the booty-shaking "It's All Good," he slips and slides atop a sample of "Heartbeat" that's so insidiously funky, not even Dee Dee King or Brian Austin Green could have fucked it up. But while such moments are rare, there are enough of them to suggest that DMX might one day transcend the bloodily unimaginative hackwork that has marred his first two disappointing albums.

EDITORS' PAGE Now that summer is finished, it is time to reflect on the events of the past few months. Typically, summertime is one of rest and relaxation; clubs and societies take a break from their usual hectic schedules. But this summer has been far from quiet and restful. There have been many activities which we think are worthy of note on this page. * Mary Lynn and Jim Horton have elected to relocate to St. George, Utah. Jim recently retired from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. As an avid genealogist, Mary Lynn has been a staunch supporter of L-AGS and has been in the forefront of the planning and execution of two wonderful genealogy seminars that have been held in conjunction with L-AGS at LDS facilities in Livermore. And husband Jim was in there working along side her at all times. Mary Lynn was responsible for establishing an LDS Family History Center in Livermore, always making sure it was kept up to date and that volunteers were available to keep the Center open at the appropriate times. Mary Lynn also volunteered one day a week at the Oakland Family History Center. Speaking for all of us, Mary Lynn and Jim, you will both be sorely missed by all of your friends at L-AGS, and we take this opportunity to wish you all the luck in the world, and, of course, please keep in touch! * For the past three years your Tracer editors have been representing L-AGS at regional California State Genealogical Alliance (CSGA) meetings. Last spring we were asked if we would run for the office of Secretary to the CSGA for the coming year. We agreed, and not surprisingly, ran unopposed! We attended our first meeting in August and have several things to report on in this issue of the Tracer. * George Anderson, our Membership Chairman, has been hard at work this summer. He has revised our Members Handbook which now includes much updated and new material. The Handbook is given to all new members and is available to existing members for $4.00. George also revised the Society's Surname Index, which has been printed and is available for purchase at this time. * The Board would like to remind all members that our fiscal year begins on January 1. Members should begin remitting their renewals in November, and hopefully, all will be paid by the end of December. Dues for the year are $12.00 for an Individual; $18.00 for a Family (at the same address); $30.00 for a Benefactor; $60.00 for a Patron; $125.00 for Individual Life; and $185.00 for a Life membership for couples. * Special thanks are due to the following members for their help in cataloging books and doing data entry at the library, and doing data entry for the Surname Book: Sandra Horne, Albert Bueche, Lucille Kusko, Regina Schaefer, Charles Michels, Bud Barlow and John Walden. Our Society always needs volunteers to help with special projects. Anyone with some spare time is welcome to call any of the Board members to find out where help is needed.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES David Abrahams Several states are in the process of attempting to limit genealogists' and historians' access to public records. These records include birth, death, marriage, wills and other information we find so valuable in our research. California, for example, made such an attempt with Assembly Bill AB3170. This bill, proposed by Assemblywoman Grace Napolitano (58th District), would virtually close California vital records to researchers. Death, marriage, divorce and annulment records would be closed for 50 years and birth records for 100 years. Had it not been for an "Alert" by the Marin County Genealogical Society to the California State Genealogical Alliance (CSGA), genealogists might not have known about AB3170. However, many genealogical societies heard the "Alert" and were able to lobby their representatives in the California Legislature to vote against the Bill. WARNING: Assemblywoman Napolitano has stated that she will reintroduce this bill in the next session! The CSGA now has a Regional Director in Sacramento who, through her organizational contacts, will act as a legislative "watchdog" and will keep the genealogy societies (via the CSGA) advised as to the status of legislative activities that may affect them. We have copied, intact, a page regarding legislative information from the September 1994 CSGA Newsletter in this issue of the Tracer, and hope that it is meaningful to our readers. * The state of South Dakota is in danger of having its State Library and State Archives closed by the governor due to the discontinuance of the state lottery, which funded these activities. We have printed an appeal from our friend Lynette Trainer in the Notes From All Over column regarding this issue. Concerned genealogists and historians should make their feelings known. * Many of us have heard that the Walt Disney Co. wants to built a $650 million American-history and entertainment park, called Disney's America, on 3,000 acres of land situated in the history-rich Virginia country-side just 35 miles west of Washington. The location is in Prince William County, near the town of Haymarket (pop. 483). The Manassas, Va., battlefield is also just 3 miles from this location. The Virginia general assembly has approved a $163 million package of incentives for road, highway signs, worker training and tourism promotion designed to entice Disney to the area. If Disney has its way, ground- breaking will occur in 1995 and Disney's America will open in 1998. Disney expects the park to attract some 5 million visitors a year and create some 19,000 jobs in the area. Opposition comes from history buffs, environmentalists, and especially the Piedmont Environmental Council, with such luminaries as the Mellons and the DuPonts on the membership rolls. The Council currently has a fund of $400,000 to fight this project. Moreover, the National Trust for Historical Preservation in an open letter to Disney's chairman, Michael Eisner, has charged that the Virginia project might "fundamentally change the region surrounding the nation's capital". Appeals have also been made for help from the National Park Service, from Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt and from various members of Congress. * Historians and genealogists are urged to let their government officials - at all levels - know that they are aware of these upcoming scenarios, and to state in simple terms their feelings - whether they approve or disapprove.
CSGA PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Fall brings new beginnings. Students and teachers return to school, societies plan and present new programs, and groups operate from new agendas with changing goals and projects. Nevertheless, we must continue to purposefully pursue those goals which remain before us. All this to remind members of the genealogical community in California, that as individuals we must remain on the lookout for legislation which could dramatically affect our resources as genealogists and historians. It is a good idea to plan ahead. If your society or group does not have a fast and efficient means of contact members, a plan to do so could and should be devised to do so for any emergency or last minute change of plans. Telephone trees often prove beneficial in establishing a communication network with members. In addition, those with E-mail and FAX numbers should exchange account ID's or numbers as these means of communication provide quick and easy contact with others. The agenda for the CSGA Board Meeting is filled with new agenda items. Up-coming issues include up-coming legislation, requests for proposals for publication of the Great Register Project, and the NGS Conference in San Diego in 1995. These new items along with other business will make for an interesting meeting which is open to the public. We hope that many of you will join us there, or at a future Board Meeting. The Board is still seeking one or two individuals for Regional Directorship in Sacramento and North San Joaquin Valley regions. Anyone who wishes to volunteer for the same can contact Vice President Sheila Benedict at 909-928-9875. Best wishes for a productive and educational Fall. LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: As we go to press, a Bill to OPEN PUBLIC RECORDS has passed the Senate 38-0 and sent to the Assembly. Aug 8, 1994 Committee passed 9 to 6. Read second time. Amended. Re-referred to Ways and Means Committee. SB 95 The California Public Records Act generally provides that the public records of any state or local agency are open to inspection during office hours unless specifically exempted or the public interest would be better served by not making the record public. Current law provides that any person may request a copy of a public record from any state or local agency upon payment of a fee covering the cost of duplication. This expands "Public Records" definition to include computer-held information; requires public records open to public inspection/copying at ALL times during office hours and in ALL forms of compilation used by the respective agency and that copies of all computerized data must be made available in ANY form of information-storage media used by the agency. Requires public agencies to ensure that systems used to collect and hold public records are designed to ensure ease of public access, and provide a copy of all computer programs necessary to process the records if the agency cannot produce copies of public records in a standard format; requires the agency to identify the basis for nondisclosure of a record; reorganizes and recodifies disclosure exemptions; and allows an agency to adopt requirements to provide faster, more efficient or greater access to records than specified in the bill. Wendy Elliott, President
LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES 1. Get to know your legislator at home. Work to get to know their views and voting records on issues. 2. Do your homework on the issues. Know your facts before meetings with your legislator. Always be prepared to respond to what the opposing side is saying. Be honest and admit if you don't know the answer. Promise to get back to them with an answer and then do it! 3. Written communications are vital. Be brief and to the point - if it can't be said in one page, it doesn't deserve saying. Use specifics instead of generalities. Always relate to how an issue affects you and others in your area. Constituents play a major role in a legislator's decision-making process. 4. Be willing to spend one hour per week on legislative activities. Whether it is volunteering for a campaign, writing letters, meeting with your legislator, contacting other members in your area or making a financial contribution, there are a wide range of activities which will make a significant difference in how your legislature views you and your issue. Involvement does make a difference! 5. Provide feedback to your legislative liaison or lobbyist. Let your lobbyist know where your legislator stands on an issue. Information sharing is a key to legislative success! The Virginia Genealogical Soc. Newsletter, May-June 1994 Page 5. CSGA Newsletter, Vol. 12, No. 9 (September 1994)
NOTES FROM ALL OVER SACRAMENTO CEMETERY The Old City Cemetery at 10th and Broadway is going through changes with new leaders. A request for letters has been received by CCCGS. Please write to: Sam Burns, Director, Convention and Visitors Dept., 1030- 15th St, Ste 250, Sacramento, Ca 95814, Phone: 916-264-8109, Fax: 916264- 7687 Ask to keep the Death Books in the archives in Old City Cemetery. Many genealogical societies use them. Also encourage keeping the cemetery beautiful with adequate watering. In 1870 it was a park-like setting, a place to picnic on Memorial Day and other holidays. ******************** LIBRARY AND ARCHIVE CLOSURE THREAT IN SOUTH DAKOTA Both the South Dakota State Library and State Archives are in danger of having their doors closed forever by Governor Miller. The State Archives Librarian advised that both the State Library and Archives may be losing their funding in the near future if Gov. Miller has his way. This library not only has books about South Dakota history in its collection, but has a large collection of books that covers other states as well. Some of their collection includes: Census records for south Dakota from 1860, 1870, 1880, 1880 Soundex, 1885 Special State Census, 1900, 1900 Soundex, 1910. There are also the South Dakota State Census for 1905-1945 on file cards. WPA Graves Registration up to 1941. Veterans Records up to 1940. Newspapers: Approx. 145 weekly and 112 daily newspapers filmed as well as hundreds of early newspapers no longer being published. Most are available on interlibrary loan. Atlases: A number or county atlases have been filmed and are available on interlibrary loan. BIA-Indian Census Rolls, 1885-1940(microfilm), town and county histories, SD Biographical Sketch Volumes, SD School Census records, SD Naturalization records, SD Court Records, photographs, WPA case files, SD Penitentiary prisoner case files, SD World War II Service Records, Pioneer Daughters Collection, and many manuscripts. We can't afford to lose one library, let alone a State Library and Archives. Even if you do not have any research in South Dakota, please help us save theirs! Who knows if South Dakota loses theirs, could yours be next? Your help is greatly needed and appreciated. I ask each one of you to please write to: Gov. Walter Dale Miller Office of the Governor 500 East Capital Pierre, S.Dak. 57510 (Submitted by Lynette Trainer) ******************** GLAD BAGS or SAD BAGS... Time again you will see the hint to use "Glad Bags" for storing your genealogical papers. HOWEVER, research has shown that "Glad Bags" are not mylar and not acid free! They should NOT be used to store valuable documents and photos. Check with a reputable supplier of archival materials such as Light Impression or University Products for proper archival storage materials. (CSGA nwsltr, 12:4, p. 70) VIRGINIA... The Virginia Genealogical Society has a new address: 5001 W. Broad Street, Suite 115, Richmond, VA 23230-3023. All correspondence, including requests for membership information, purchase of publications, etc. should be sent to this address. (NGS Newsletter 19:5, P.143) ******************** DESTRUCTION OF RECORDS At nearly every turn of our lives a record of some sort has been created. if we saved every record created in our names, every bill, every receipt, every letter, every document, we would be overwhelmed by paper. Instead we make decisions on what to save and what can be thrown away. Imagine the massive volume of records generated by governments and agencies over the history of this country. Just as you go through your records discarding the unnecessary and preserving the rest the agencies entrusted with the preservation of official records perform periodic house-cleaning. And just as you sometimes throw away records that you later wish you hadn't, those agencies sometimes throw away records that genealogists wish they hadn't. How does the National Archives make its housecleaning decisions? The Office of Record Management studies the record classes in question, assessing them for their historical value and determines the policy on their retention. Then as record classes are added to the Archives, they are assigned a date for destruction or, in the case of records with great historical value, they are preserved forever. But the retention schedule assigned to a class of documents is not always advantageous to genealogists. For example, the Bureau of Retirement Claims, as a part of Railroad Retirement Board, administers pensions of railroad retirees. The office generates a large quantity of genealogically significant data. Most applications include the claimant's address, race, sex, date and place of birth, father's full name, mother's maiden name, the entire employment history and the retirement compensation history, including claims made by the widow or widower, with accompanying proof of the marriage and death of the retiree. However, if you have ancestors or collaterals who were railroad employees, you'd better act fast to obtain copies of their records. indeed, you may be too late. The established retention schedule provides that five years after the last payment to a pensioner, his or her records are transferred to the Federal Records Center. That Center maintains the records for thirty years, after which the records are destroyed. The National Archives needs to hear when retention schedules ought to be reviewed and revised. To urge a reexamination of a retention schedule for any class of records write to: Director, Office of Record Management, National Archives and Records Administration, Eighth and Pennsylvania Ave, N.W., Washington, DC 20408. Those wishing to express an opinion regarding the Railroad Retirement Act Claim folder data should write to: Curt B. Witcher, Allen County Public Library, PO Box 2270, Fort Wayne, IN 46801-2270. Mr Witcher, President of the Federation of Genealogical Societies, will be discussing the issue with the National Archives and will use your letters to support the need for reevaluation of this specific retention schedule. Remember your records, your choice! The genealogical community must ensure that records and documents of historical and genealogical significance survive for researchers of tomorrow. Notify your local Senators and Representatives that our records are being destroyed. Inform them that the documents of our heritage should be properly preserved. That's three of four letters needed NOW to express your opinion. We must act on these issues. No one else will do it for us. The above articles were taken from the Contra Costa Co. Genealogical Society Newsletter. ******************** L.A.G.S MEMBERS VISIT SALT LAKE CITY F.H.C. On June 5, 1994 L.A.G.S. members Jeanne Tanghe, Erma McCue, Fran Samans, Regina and Patty Schaefer, Peggy and Jack Norman, Mildred Doucette and your truly Isabel Nolte, with the guiding hands of Mary Lynn and Jim Horton, departed on Morris Airlines and arrived in Salt Lake City at 11:05 a.m. We shuttled to the Carlton Hotel which was about three blocks from the Latter-Day Saints Library. Not ones to let grass grow under our feet, we took off for the library and began our research. The Family History Center was open from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. We had a few diehards who stayed until the bitter end. We found that on the 4th floor of the Joseph Smith Building we could view the 1920 Soundex census and have access to more computers with very little disturbance. The library staff and the volunteers were very generous in their assistance. specialist were also available if needed. Some of our group managed to get together for meals. However, on the way home we exchanged some of our findings and found that the trip was very worthwhile. Some are anxious to go back soon. The weather was beautiful the whole five days. The Mormons are very proud of their heritage and some of us managed to visit the Tabernacle and take a tour of the land marks left by the Mormon pioneers. ******************** FOOD FOR THOUGHT Once upon a time there were four people; their names were NOBODY, EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY and ANYBODY. One day there was an important task to do. EVERYBODY was sure that SOMEBODY would do it. The task was so simple that ANYBODY could have done it, but NOBODY did it. EVERYBODY got angry because it was EVERYBODY'S job. EVERYBODY thought that SOMEBODY would do it, but didn't realize that NOBODY would do it. Consequently, EVERYBODY blamed SOMEBODY when NOBODY did what ANYBODY could have done. (anonymous) LAGS Library News
FAMILY HISTORY MONTH David Abrahams According to an article by Miriam S. Bryan in the Summer issue of FGS Forum, genealogical societies in four states have been successful in persuading their state officials to name October as "Family History Month". Proclamations to this effect have been signed by the governors of New Jersey, Connecticut, South Carolina and Nevada. Our own Felicia Ziomek is currently working with the cities of Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore, California, to have them issue similar proclamations. As of this writing, both the Pleasanton and Livermore city councils have indicated they will issue proclamations naming October as "Family History Month". Moreover, L-AGS is going to have a genealogy display in the lobby of the Pleasanton Public Library, 400 Old Bernal Avenue, for the month of October. We invite all readers to stop by to see this exhibit.
VETERANS RECORDS Isabel Nolte One may write to the National Archives and request NATF Form 80 to request veterans records. This form is only used to request the following types of information: Pension application files, based on Federal (not State) service before WWI. This information usually includes an official statement of the veteran's military service, as well as information of a personal nature. Pensions based on military service for the Confederate States of America were authorized by some Southern States but not by the Federal Government until 1959. Bounty-land warrant application files are based on Federal (not State) service before 1856. Documents in a bounty-land warrant application file are similar to those in a pension application file. In addition, these files usually give the veteran's age and place of residence at the time the application was made. Military service records are based on service in the UNITED STATES ARMY (officers who served before June 30, 1917, and enlisted men who served before October 31, 1912); NAVY (officers who served before 1903 and enlisted men who served before 1886); MARINE CORPS (officers who served before 1896 and enlisted men who served before 1905); and CONFEDERATE ARMED FORCES (officers and enlisted men, 1861 - 65). In addition to persons who served in regular forces raised by the Federal Government, volunteers fought in various wars chiefly in the Federal Government's interest from the Revolutionary War through the Philippine Insurrection, 1775 - 1902. For copies of this form, write to General Reference Branch (NNRG-P), National Archives and Records Administration, 7th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20408. For photocopies of records relating to service in World War I or II, or subsequent service, write to: National Personnel Records Center (Military Records), NARA, 9700 Page Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63132.
The Bookshelf The big book news this quarter is the appearance of our surname book. Ninety-nine members and former members submitted data for the book and many helped in its production. The following is the information sent to Heritage Quest and Genealogical Helper, along with copies of the book for review. The prices quoted are for non-members of L-AGS. Members get appreciable discounts. ******************** Names of our Ancestors: 5861 surnames documented by members of the Livermore-Amador Genealogical Society, Livermore, California, with separate indexes for surname, locality and soundexed surname. 1994. Compiled by Beverly Schell Ales, George Anderson and Harriet Anderson. Published by the Livermore-Amador Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 901, Livermore, California 94551. 110+vi pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, soft cover, self-indexed. 3.5 inch diskette (IBM or Macintosh) also available. Book or diskette, $16 postpaid; book + diskette, $22 postpaid. This book consists of three parts. The first part contains 5861 statements of the form: Surname and variants - Locality of residence - Inclusive dates of residence in that locality - Submitter's code. This list contains 2731 different surnames, 487 of which are variants. The submitter's code is keyed to the name, postal address, telephone number and E-mail address of the submitter in a table at the front of the book. The second part of the book contains the same information sorted by locality. There are 5573 entries in this list, which spans all 50 states and 37 foreign countries. The third part lists all of the surnames in the book, sorted by Soundex code. A reader searching for a name not in the book can consult this index to look for a match with a similar name. ******************** DAR Patriot Index, Centennial Edition. 3 volumes. 1994. Published by the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. 3336 pages total, plus xi introductory pages in each volume. 6x9 inches, hard cover, maps. $60. Purchased by L-AGS. One of the most valuable set of books in any genealogical library, the DAR Patriot Index was updated this year and reissued in a new edition. The occasion for the update was the 100th anniversary of the founding of the DAR. By my estimate, there are over 120,000 individuals listed in these volumes. Not all are soldiers or sailors - anyone who gave documented patriotic service during the Revolution is eligible for listing. The preface states that both men and women are included, but Harriet and I had to search through many hundreds of names before we found a female. That is certainly not the fault of the present leadership of the DAR, who probably have been praying that members would nominate more heroines, but it is a reflection of the male view of patriotism that dominated during the past century. Curiously, George Washington is not in the book, but Martha is. The preface does not state that a living descendant of the candidate must make a nomination, but if it is so, that could be the explanation - George had no descendants, but Martha did from her first marriage. If you find a provable ancestor listed in this index, you can apply for membership in the DAR, if you are a female, or can help a female with the same ancestor apply. The Society will not answer questions about a patriot, but will sell a copy of the member's application that proves the patriot's eligibility. Details are in the preface to the book. ******************** Biographical Dictionary of the Youngs (born circa 1600-1870). 1994. Compiled by Louise Ryder Young. Published by Heritage Books, Inc., 1540-E Pointer Ridge Place, Bowie, Maryland 20716. 413+xvii pages, 5x8 inches, soft cover, indexed. No price listed. Donated by the publisher. The full title of this book summarizes its scope: "Biographical Dictionary of the Youngs (born circa 1600-1870), from Essex and Old Norfolk Counties, Massachusetts Bay Colony, which once contained parts of present-day Rockingham County, New Hampshire; A Listing of All Proprietors, Pioneers, Land Owners, Heads of Family, Soldiers and Sailors, Brides, Widows and Orphans by the Family Name of Young." If you have the surname Young in your ancestry (as four L-AGS members do, according to our new Surname Book), then chances are you have a relative listed in this book. There are 2084 Youngs in the index, and 2932 allied family names. And if you think you are confused by having relatives with the same name, consider that in this small geographical area there were 157 John Youngs and 69 Abigail Youngs! Each of the 1266 main entries on the Youngs is at least one paragraph in length, and some of them fill many pages. Sources are not only cited, but many deeds and wills are quoted in full. Unfortunately, the typography is ugly and hard on the eyes. However, this is a book that would never be read for pleasure anyway, and should be judged for what the title says it is: a dictionary, and an unabridged, thoroughly documented one at that. ******************** District Register Offices in England and Wales. 1992. Compiled by Andrea Cawley, 38 The Vale, Kirk Ella, N. Humberside, HU10 7PS, England. Published by East Yorkshire Family History Society. 14 pages, 5x8 inches, indexed. 95 pence postpaid airmail. Donated by Anne Homan. If you have ever tried to order birth, marriage or death certificates from England, you know that it can be costly and slow. The cost from the national register office at St. Catherine's House as of two years ago was 15 pounds, and only a partial refund is given if the search fails. This brochure, "which was the result of an enquiry from one of our overseas members," describes a better way, at least for births and deaths: to order the documents from a district register office. You must know the district where the event took place, and the approximate date. The names of these district offices are listed by county (shire) in this booklet, and then the full mailing addresses are given in an alphabetical list. The cost for a full certificate from these offices is said to be 5 pounds, with full refund in case of negative results. For marriage certificates, it may still be easier to go through St. Catherine's House, for reasons that are explained in the brochure. It is worth repeating the phone number, given in the Roots Tracer last winter, for ordering foreign currency: 1-800-424-2923. Most government agencies overseas require payment in their native money. ******************** Arkansas Genealogical Society's 1992-1993 Resource Directory. 1992. Compiled by Desmond Walls Allen and Bobbie Jones McLane. Published by the Arkansas Genealogical Society, PO Box 908, Hot Springs, AR 71902-0908. 69 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, soft cover, self indexed, map. No price listed. Donated to L-AGS by Judy Person.
Researchers with work to do in Arkansas are lucky to have this handsome guide to genealogical resources in that state. All kinds of resources are covered in detail, from government agencies, libraries and societies to books, microfilms, newspapers and maps. The guide is organized hierarchically, starting with statewide and regional resources, and finally covering each of the 75 counties separately. Arkansas seems to be blessed with historians and archivists eager to publish. Even tiny Hempstead County (population 25,000, county seat Hope), boasts 17 books about its heritage. Maybe Bill and Hillary will add to that bibliography when they retire. Telling evidence of the schizophrenia of Arkansas during the Civil War is the fact that there are 26 books about military records in this guide - 14 about Confederate records and 12 about Union records. There even were 2000 men who served in both armies! ******************** The Rufus Parks Pedigree: Seventeen Centuries of One Family's Ancestors. 1989. By Brian J. L. Berry, Ph.D., McKinney, Texas. Published by the author. 166+vi pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, soft cover, indexed. Numerous illustrations, charts and maps. Price not listed. Donated to L-AGS by Judy Person.
Above: The Circuit Rider, from The Rufus Parks Pedigree. Rufus Parks was a Methodist circuit rider in Illinois in the 1830s. Dr. Berry is obviously very literate and very competent as a genealogist. His wife's immigrant ancestor was Robert Parke, a personal friend of John Winthrop, the first governor of Massachusetts. Robert sailed to America with Winthrop on the Arabella in 1630. Dr. Berry's tale of his detective work in establishing Robert Parke as his wife's ancestor is readable and convincing. Yet, from then to earlier times, I am less persuaded. His tracing of lines in England seems quite problematic, as Dr. Berry himself implies. He writes, "Within this line are two claimed marriages that link the Prideaux family to multiple royal ancestries.... If the first of these claims were to be correct, it would lead back directly to the royal houses of Europe, Wales and Ireland, as diagrammed. But many genealogists argue that neither of those marriages has been proved."
The diagrams mentioned, and other diagrams in the book, show descents from Fergus Mor MacErc, a Scottish king alive in 461; Cerdic, king of West Saxons, alive in 495; Miledh of Esbain, 67th generation ancestor of Fergus MacErc; Eystein of Throndheim in Norway, alive in 710; Charlemagne; and the Roman Procopius Emperor, 365-366. Adorning these charts are dozens of coats-of-arms and illustrations of archeological finds from Frankish times. This is pretty heady stuff, especially for someone from McKinney, Texas. There is no way that I, with no knowledge of medieval history, could disprove any of these pedigrees, but you will pardon me if I roll my eyes skyward. ******************** The Parrish Family. First printed in 1935; reprinted 1988. Compiled and published by Scott Lee Boyd, Santa Barbara, California, with the help of Genealogist Katherine Cox Gottschalk. Available from E. L. McClelland, 6150 Marietta Road, Lancaster, Ohio 43130. 413 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, beautifully hardbound, indexed, illustrated. $30.00. Donated to L-AGS by E. L. McClelland. The subtitle of this book is Including the Allied Families of Belt, Boyd, Cole and Malone, Clokey, Garrett, Merryman, Parsons, Price and Tipton. Almost 90 percent of the book is devoted to the Parrish family, and the remainder to these allied families. The progenitor of the Parrishes was Edward Parrish, who was "imported" to Maryland in 1655. After performing his time of service, he acquired land rapidly. Apparently, all land parcels in Maryland had to be named, leading to such colorful legal names as "Parrishes Delay," "Parrishes Chance," "Papa's Ridge" and "Parrishes Fear." This book is organized in the Register format, showing the influence of Ms. Gottschalk, the professional genealogist. It is highly structured, carefully documented and attractively typeset. By my count, there are 10,600 names in the index, a very respectable number for a single-family history.
LAGS Library News by Judy Person Members have been working heroically to inventory all the books on the shelves to make a "shelf list", from which we can make a catalog on paper of the combined holdings of LAGS and the Pleasanton Library. George Anderson has organized crews several times to complete this project, including Ed Holbrook, June Duffy, Harriet and George Anderson, Sandra Horn, Albert Beuche, Lucille Kusko, Bev Morris, and me. Regina Schaefer and Charles Michels entered notes on all the materials in the Pamphlet file, which we'll keep available for scanning at the library. This may have just the information you need on military records or doing research in a particular state, or family info. The New DAR Index has arrived on the shelf, bought by LAGS, as has the 1790 Federal Census, bought by the Pleasanton Library League. The next question on my mind is - How do we afford the turbo drive CD Rom we need to run the increasingly affordable compact disks with lots of data? The Phone Disk set would be our first purchase, and the Library League might join in the purchase, but we need the fast CD Rom to run it. Any ideas? The 1920 Federal Census is now available at Sutro Library as well as at the National Archives in San Bruno, including the complete Soundex index/finder. Sutro's hours are easy to remember: M-F, 10-5. The address is 480 Winston Drive, SF, and phone is (415) 731-4477. While I'm at it, let me give you the directions for three of the ways to get there: 1. Take BART to Daly City, get a free transfer and take the 28 bus for only three stops, and you'll be at Stonestown. Just walk down the hill a short distance and you're there. 2. Drive over the Bay Bridge and take 101 South, then the 280 cutoff to Hwy 1 north to 19th Ave. Go to Winston (the street on the north side of Stonestown) and go down the hill. 3. Drive over the Bay Bridge, take 101 South and take the Ocean Ave. exit to 19th (this winds around a bit). You can't turn left on 19th, so turn right and go to where you can go south on 19th, then right on Winston. If you can't find parking, try the Stonestown lot. It's a short walk. Now the good and bad Interlibrary Loan News. The good news is you can request up to four items (Sutro's limit) at a time, but the bad news is that each request costs $2 at Pleasanton and Dublin libraries. I hope we all are those who have saved big tax bucks since Prop. 13, because we certainly have given up a lot of library service for it. Now for the National Archives at San Bruno, 1000 Commodore Avenue, (415) 876-9009. They have the 1920 Census, and their correct hours now are 8-8 Wed, 8-4 M, T, Th, F. They say take the San Mateo bridge, then 101 north to San Bruno Ave, then to El Camino then left on Sneath Lane and left on Commodore. Good Searching!
Computer News by Doug Mumma Agendas for Upcoming Meetings of the L-AGS Computer Interest Group Unless otherwise announced, the meetings of the L-AGS Computer Interest Group will be held at 7:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month at the LDS Church, 950 Mocho Street, Livermore The following meeting agendas are tentatively scheduled. Oct. 20 Software Help/Tricks/Shortcuts - We will split into small interest groups and everyone will share the various tricks, shortcuts, or other information that they have learned about their favorite genealogy program. The tentative interest groups will be PAF-Mac, PAF-IBM, Brother's Keeper, Family Tree Maker, and/or other programs as there is interest. This will be an interactive help session as always. Nov. 17 INTERNET/and or Using BBS's - We will either be discussing the INTERNET, how you can access it with or without a modem or computer of your own (i.e. the public library), and what it can do to help you with your genealogical research, or we will have a hands-on session dialing into one of the local BBS systems and discover what genealogy data is available. Dec. 15 No meeting scheduled. ******************** L-AGS Computer Diskettes Are Available Special L-AGS computer diskettes are available which contain a variety of information including genealogy programs, utilities, tutorials, and computer versions of L-AGS published information. The diskettes are available for a donation to L-AGS of the amount indicated. There are different diskettes for both the IBM and Mac users as follows: DOS-LAGS #1 - This diskette is for IBM compatible computers and contains over 1.4 megabytes of information. There are two tutorials about genealogy, two tutorials about using PAF and recommended guidelines for documentation, a nice tutorial about using the INTERNET, a demonstration program about using CompuServe's genealogy forum, a relationship chart, a listing of all genealogy bulletin boards in the U.S., a listing of all U.S. genealogical societies, and finally, a listing/review of 144 PAF/GEDCOM shareware programs that are available. The normal diskette size is 3 1/2", high density but I also have the programs available on 4, 5 1/4" low density diskettes. Note, some programs require a color monitor. - IBM only [Donation of $5.00 members, $7.50 non-members] MacLAGS #1 - This diskette is for Macintosh computers and contains four programs that George Anderson wrote as useful utilities for himself Ahnentafel v2 makes an ahnentafel chart from a PAF file with the option of including all, some, or no notes. Narrative v2 puts all of the data in a PAF file into compact narrative form. Chart v2 produces a compact descendants chart of fine typographic quality on a PostScript printer. Soundex Q instantly converts any name to Soundex code. These programs come with a 10 page manual. - Mac only [Donation of $5.00 members, $7.50 nonmembers] L-AGS Publications on Diskette All of L-AGS books and publications are also available in diskette form for the same price as the hardcopy version. If you want both the hardcopy and diskette, the price is only 50% more than the cost of the hardcopy version. All publications are ASCII text files and are available in both DOS and Mac formats These diskettes they are available at the regular L-AGS meetings and at the computer interest group meetings. You may also contact either me or George Anderson directly. ******************** PAF 2.3 Still Has Problems! As some of you know, Personal Ancestral File (PAF) Release 2.3 is no longer being offered or distributed by the Family History Department of LDS. There are some known "bugs" that they are still trying to fix. From the rumors I see on the various bulletin boards, I would not expect to see Release 2.31 (as it will probably be known) until December. The defects, while inconvenient, do not affect data and will not affect most users. The Family History Department encourage users of Release 2.3 to continue to use the program with two exceptions: * Users of the Research Data Filer program should use the Release 2.2 version. * Users of the GEDCOM program who wish to submit names for LDS temple ordinances should use the GEDCOM option, not the Temple Names Submission options. If you have any additional concerns or need help, you can contact the PAF technical support line at (801)-240-2584 in Salt Lake City. ******************** COMMSOFT Announces the Release of InterGED COMMSOFT, the publishers of ROOTS III and ROOTS IV, have announced the release of a new specification for exchanging computerized genealogical data. I know that they have been trying to influence the LDS developers to expand the, yet to be released, GEDCOM specification 2.3 to include many new features that are important to functionality of advanced programs such as ROOTS IV. They have not been successful and are forging out on their own. I think it is a correct move and I applaud their efforts. It is important for new programs to be able to handle adoptions, illegitimate children, etc. correctly. You just can't input these events in PAF, a lineage-linked program, without resorting to tricks. The following is the COMMSOFT's news release: Windsor, CA -- (July 22, 1994) -- COMMSOFT announced today the upcoming release of InterGED, a new specification for exchanging computerized genealogical data. InterGED is included in ROOTS IV Version 1.1, which will be sent to all registered users of ROOTS IV this summer. This new specification, which allows lineage- and event-linked computer programs to communicate, is fundamentally compatible with current lineage-linked GEDCOM (Genealogical Data COMmunications) implementations. InterGED preserves the lineage-linked Family and event concepts to maintain this compatibility, although these structures are not required by InterGED. Event-linked family history takes the perspective that individuals assume relationships to each other through events. The birth event, for example, links a child with her/his ancestors through his parents. A marriage event links two individuals through a legal and/or religious agreement. Many individuals can be linked to an event in addition to the principal role players. By linking individuals through events rather than families, the historian has much more freedom and flexibility when documenting complex relationships, especially those that do not fit traditional family structures. An understanding of the association of individuals through events can give us a much better picture of our past than afforded by other forms of family history. The GEDCOM standard was developed to provide a flexible uniform format for exchanging computerized genealogical data. In the years since GEDCOM was introduced, genealogical software has evolved significantly. ROOTS IV is the first genealogy program designed to record family events and their associated roles without restriction. Modern programs such as ROOTS IV, provide the ability to store and process family historical information and associated data in ways that surpass the capabilities of the current lineage-linked GEDCOM standard. InterGED was created for ROOTS IV to reliably handle event-linked family historical information. The InterGED specification will be released to the genealogy software community so that other developers can create InterGED-compatible software. Note: I called Commsoft in early September and was informed that Release 1.1 of Roots IV should be shipped around the 1st of October. I won't hold my breath, however, that they will meet that date. They are sending me the latest maintenance of Release 1.0 which will include the new InterGED module. My current maintenance release will not even allow me to export a GEDCOM file. ******************** Need to Borrow an IBM Computer or Try Out a Genealogy Program? I now have a spare 286 IBM clone computer that is available for anyone to check out, borrow and test different programs. I have it loaded with a variety of word processing and genealogy programs. The currently loaded genealogy programs are Family Roots 4, PAF 2.3, Brother's Keeper 5.2, Family Tree Maker for DOS, Family Scrap Book 2.02, and Genbook 3.3. The word processing programs include Word 5.0, Word Perfect 5.1, and PC Write 4.0. 1 don't have any Windows programs because the 286 machine is just not powerful enough to support them or ROOTS IV.

"Maxing" Out in Salt Lake City By Chuck Rockhold I recently visited Salt Lake City while on vacation and did some more research at the Family History Center Library. My schedule was quite tight; I had only three days to search all holdings for Frederick and Washington Counties, Maryland, looking for two surnames in the time period from 1750 to 1800. Previously I had done the obvious such as searches of the IGI, the Federal census and Sutro Library. A long time ago I developed the habit of making note of all documents reviewed, thus leaving a well documented trail. With only three days available, the prospects of both searching and documenting seemed impossible.
A few days before my departure, I visited the FHC in Oakland. They have the SLC card catalog on computer and on microfiche and I needed a download of all relevant holdings. The computer provided no means for getting a concise listing, so I turned to the microfiche and made copies. This resulted in 25 pages for Frederick Co. and 17 pages for Washington; each page averaging about 10 citations; about 400 total. At 25 cents per page, the cost for copies was $10.50. An example of a typical page of listings is shown. Before arrival at SLC, I was able to eliminate from the search all documents previously reviewed, those not pertinent to the time period and those inappropriate for other reasons. In SLC I first went through all books, going from the list to the shelf and checking each off as I proceeded. The same for micro-film. Because I had a hard copy list, it was only necessary to make marginal notes of findings. The investment in copies proved to be a great time saver, allowing me to accomplish and document my ambitious search in just three days.

New Bill Aims to Remove 'Chill Factor' for Lesbian and Gay Teachers
02 May 2012
Update: 2nd May 2012: Defeat of Employment Equality Bill a Missed Opportunity to Protect LGBT Employees
The Second Stage of the Senator Averil Power's Employment Equality (Amendment) Bill 2012 was heard today in the Seanad. It was defeated by the Government in a vote. See below for the GLEN Press Release Bill on the defeat.
February 19th 2012: Senator Averil Power of Fianna Fail today (19th February) publishes a Bill which aims to amend Section 37.1 of the Employment Equality Act which has acted as a 'chill factor' for lesbian and gay teachers and others who work in religious run institutions.
GLEN strongly welcomes the publication of the Bill.
Sandra Irwin-Gowran, GLEN's Director of Education Policy said that "the Bill aims to ensure that employees or prospective employees in religious run institutions, such as schools, cannot be discriminated against just because they are married, single, divorced or in a civil partnership, or because they are lesbian or gay."
Cathal O'Riada, primary school principal and Chairperson of the Irish National Teachers Organisation (INTO) LGB teachers group said that "removing the threat of section 37.1 will give lesbian and gay teachers a freedom that they haven't enjoyed up to now. In simple terms it would mean that they could just go about their daily business of teaching to the best of their ability, without the constant threat of their sexual orientation being used against them; at a very human level they could just be themselves."

All new on "Private Practice", Sam and Naomi will compete against each other for the position to lead the practice, sending the others to cast their votes. The office election ends with a surprising result.
Meanwhile, Addison treats a young Afghan girl who wants to hide her past, and Cooper's objectionable personal life catches up with his professional one when he was caught surfing website for adults. The episode called "Past Tense" will be aired on October 29.
ABC has just ordered nine more episodes of the "Grey's Anatomy" spin-off, bringing it to a full season made up of 22 episodes.
Recently, Kate Walsh who portrays Addison said that her character will develop a lot more in this second season especially in her relationship with men. "You're definitely going to see her dating, and it'll start to balance out a little bit. The first couple episodes established that the practice is in financial crisis... And then you will see her personal life start ebbing in and see what it's like to see her dating," she said in an interview with iVillage.

The Misadventures of Four Angels – Of Jedi and Vampires
Summary: The ninth story in the "Misadventures" series. Angel #3 has been a bit distracted and Obi-Wan and her dark side Obi-Wan clone try to confront her about it. However, she isn't the only Angel who has been distracted.
Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars. I'm just borrowing George Lucas' characters for a bit. I don't own Twilight either, that belongs to Stephenie Meyer.
Note: Once again this is shameless AU. Also all Angel stories build on one another so it is recommended you read the previous stories before reading this one.
"All right. I do not care if you ignore your writing. I am usually pleased when you are not trying to torture me, but I have to protest when you start to ignore me out right." Obi-Wan Kenobi spoke to Angel #3, who was staring down at something in her hands, seemingly oblivious to her favorite Jedi's presence. She had been sitting on that sofa for hours and he was tired of it.
"She's not listening to you." Her dark Obi-Wan clone answered for the distracted Angel. "She won't listen to me either!" He growled. Since his return from his latest Jedi mission, Obi-Wan had joined up with Angel #3's dark side clone to spend some quality time with their Angel. However, it seemed that since his departure, all Angels, including his own had become enthralled with something other than the Jedi they usually fawned over.
Sighing in frustration, the light side Obi-Wan walked over to his Angel, crossed his arms across his chest and tapped his booted foot impatiently while waiting for his Angel to turn her attention to him. However, instead of getting the desired response, all Angel #3 did was turn a page in what both Obi-Wan and her dark side clone could see was a book.
"She's reading that book again!" The dark clone snarled in disgust. "If she reads that anymore she'll be trying to convince Angel #1 that they need to clone themselves a pair of vampires each. I do not share!"
"Ooooo! What a great idea, I'm glad you reminded me of it!" Angel #1's voice called from the door. As she entered Angel #3's Coruscant apartment, her two Anakin Skywalker clones trailed behind her with what seemed to be a unique fashion trend. The dark side Anakin clone was dressed head to toe in black, which was not that abnormal for him, but the set of fangs that showed as he flashed a crooked smile were clearly not his normal teeth. However, that did not draw either Obi-Wan's or Angel #3's dark side clone's attention, but the light side Anakin clone's appearance did cause a few eyebrows to raise.
"What in the blazes, happened to you?" Both Obi-Wan and the dark side Obi-Wan clone asked as the light side Anakin clone followed his Angel. The clone was dressed in his normal attire, but it looked like he had rolled in a large tub of glitter, because his skin, clothes, and hair glinted as the tiny speckles caught the light.
In response to the question, the light side Anakin clone just shrugged and responded, "Vampires sparkle."
Both Obi-Wan's groaned, "Not you two as well!"
"If you can't beat them, join them." The light side Anakin clone answered with another shrug.
The light side Obi-Wan added, "Where is Angel #2 when we need her? She could always talk some sense into everyone."
Angel #3 sped read the last page of her book and then set it aside as she greeted her friend and answered her Jedi's question. "She and Angel #4 left for a tour of a town called Forks. It's on a planet beyond the outer rim. I guess the two of them and their clones decided to stay."
"What is in Forks?" The dark side Obi-Wan clone's features twisted in disgust as he asked his question.
For their part, Angel #1 and #3 sighed and dreamily gazed out one of the apartment windows, completely mindless of what was going on around them as they murmured, "Edw…."
"No!" The dark side Anakin and Obi-Wan clones growled, throwing their hands over their ears in an attempt of drowning out the name their Angels were about to call out. "Not again!"
"We could go to Forks!" Angel #1 squealed with excitement, ignoring the clones' protest, garnering an excited smile from her friend as they plotted their next vacation.
"Oh, I don't think so." Obi-Wan stated, pulling Angel #3 away from her friend. "The city of Angels is still not the same since you two left it."
"No leeches!" The dark Anakin clone voiced his agreement as he dragged Angel #1 up from the sofa she had settled on and into his arms.
"What is your fascination with him anyways? You are our Angels, not his!" The dark Obi-Wan clone pressed Angel #3 for an answer.
"He's dreamy!" Angel #1 exclaimed in response.
"There is something sexy about a guy with a dark side." Angel #3 added.
Both Obi-Wan and the dark Obi-Wan clone looked at her incredulously, but it was the dark clone that responded with a bit of shock. "I'm not dark enough?"
"No! It's not like that!" Angel #1 laughed at the slight pout that overcame Angel #3's dark Obi-Wan clone's face. "It's just… well… vampires…" Angel #1's statement trailed off as she became lost in the same daydreams that had captured all the Angels of late. "Oh, we so have to go to Forks!"
Angel #3 grinned and her mind started to make plans for their trip.
"No, we talked about this." Angel #1's light side Anakin clone pleaded with his Angel to calm down. "We…." He made a jerking motion with his head to indicate the dark side Anakin clone, but the motion caused some of the glitter on him to dislodge and fall in a glittering mass to the floor. "We told you we would play along with you."
"Is that why you two are dressed like a prince of darkness or an arts and crafts project gone wrong?" Angel #3's dark side Obi-Wan clone could not stop the snort of laughter that came out of his mouth as he glanced at Angel #1's light side Anakin clone. There was a pile of glitter forming at his feet as it fell off his body and to the floor.
"I won't lose my Angel to a leech!" Angel #1's dark side Anakin clone shouted before tightening his hold on his Angel and slowly dragged his lips across her throat.
"Our Angel." Angel #1's light side Anakin clone corrected. He then shrugged as he added, "She seems to have forgotten why she is our Angel and to break the spell of the vampire we tried to do something to coax her back to us."
"Well, I don't think it is working, and it certainly will not work with ours. She hasn't paid us any attention in weeks." Although he meant to tease the two Anakin clones, there was a hint of hurt in Obi-Wan's voice as he spoke.
The pain seemed to resonate with Angel #3 who shook out of her fantasies and shifted her gaze between Obi-Wan and her clone. "I'm sorry, I did not mean to ignore you two." She pressed a gentle hand to both of their cheeks and smiled as both of her palms received a kiss from her favorite Jedi.
"Neither did I." Angel #1 spoke to her Anakin clones as she mimicked Angel #3's gesture.
"We have not forgotten that we are your Angels." Angel #3 consoled.
"We would not have broken into the Jedi Temple for nothing." Angel #1 added.
"We just got caught up in the moment I guess." Angel #3 shrugged as she apologized to her two clones. "I'll try to be better. I'm bound to get over this vampire thing one of these days."
"Yes." Angel #1 agreed, allowing her Anakin clones to embrace her in a hug. "I'm sorry I forced you two into this. It was really sweet though that you played along, but I don't think Jedi were meant to be vampires."
"You can make it up to us." The light side Anakin clone answered with a wide grin, relieved that he would be able to cease with the glitter.
A mischievous twinkle in Angel #1's eye sparkled brighter than the glitter that kept falling off her light side Anakin clone as his words gave her an idea. "Perhaps we just need some time away from it all. We could go on a vacation together. I won't sneak away from you this time." She told her clones, keeping a sweet smile on her face as she spoke to her clones.
"Would some alone time make it up to you two?" Angel #3 asked her clones while winking at her friend. The Angels might not have been Force sensitive, but they knew what the other was thinking.
"The Council could call me back any day now." Obi-Wan shrugged. "But I'll take anytime we have together as long as I get to pick where we go." Angel #3 had been celebrating a victory in her head, but it was halted and she turned in shock as she saw the knowing smile cross both Obi-Wan's and her dark side clones lips.
"We are going to Naboo." The dark side Obi-Wan and Anakin clones both whispered in the respective Angels' ears. "And the navi-computer will not be programmed to route us through a place called Forks."

|Folk Pop / Rock
3 November 1976, Grand Forks, North Dakota, USA. Singer-songwriter Brosseau established a cult following in the early 00s with a series of low-key album releases. After graduating from the University of North Dakota, he began performing in clubs around his native Grand Forks. He relocated to San Diego to further his music career, working alongside Gregory Page in the American Folk Singers. He recorded his debut album (named after his home state) in 2002. Another independent release followed in 2004, which was recorded live without an audience at the Largo club in North Fairfax, Los Angeles.
Brosseau then signed a recording contract with the Loveless label, gaining wider distribution for What I Mean To Say Is Goodbye. This collection maintained the pared-down folk style of his earlier releases, with minimal guitar accompaniment and beguiling melodies. The most striking aspect as before was Brosseaus falsetto vocals, which lent a ghostly...

I am trying to plot a bifurcation diagram for the function given by
x_n = ru*x_(n-(1/3))*(1-x_(n-(1/3)))
for n = 1/3,2/3,1,...
For this I have two files
%This Mtlab function is needed to plot bifurcation diagram for the logistic map given
%by xn = ru*x_(n-1/3)(1-x_(n-1/3))
function [f]=bifurcationthird(n,ru)
for i=1:3*n
f= ru*f*(1-f);
Then I call the function in the next file
%This Mtlab Code plot bifurcation diagram for the logistic map given
%by xn = ru*x_(n-1/3)(1-x_(n-1/3))
n= 200;
ru = (3.0/n):(3.0/n):4;
for m = 1:3*n
I am keeping get the error index exceeds matrix dimensions?
WHERE is the problem if you please?

> I am keeping get the error index exceeds matrix dimensions?
> WHERE is the problem if you please?
If the question is "where", the error message should tell you. It should give you both the file name and the line number where the error is occurring.

- - - - - - - - -
In the line
ru = (3.0/n):(3.0/n):4;
you generate the array 'ru' containing only 266 elements, but the index m in the for-loop gets as high as m = 600. There is no 600th element of 'ru'. I think you may have meant to have ru = 4/(3*n):4/(3*n):4.
You should realize that binary floating point numbers, which are what matlab uses for 'double', cannot represent 1/3 exactly, and that means that you are "skating on thin ice" when you write your code as you have. For example if you were to add up 1/3 six times and then multiply the sum by three, you would not get an exact six for an answer due to round off errors.

Thanks a lot for your help. It really helped me. May I ask how did you fit the dimensions together? I am new in Matlab. Another question if you please, did you mean that my code is not correct or what?
Thanks a lot in advance.
"Sanaa" wrote in message <firstname.lastname@example.com>...
> Thanks a lot for your help. It really helped me. May I ask how did you fit the dimensions together?
Probably by inspection & years of experience. You need to decide what is the actual dimension of ru. 266 or 600?
I am new in Matlab. Another question if you please, did you mean that my code is not correct or what?
This link may help explain:
% You may want to change:
ru = (3.0/n):(3.0/n):4;
% to something like:
ru = round((3.0/n):(3.0/n):4);
doc round
doc ceil
doc fix
doc floor

If you are directing your question to me and if you are asking about the suggestion of:
ru = 4/(3*n):4/(3*n):4;
the reasoning is that you clearly wanted m to range from 1 to 3*n, and at the same time ru from (just above) 0 to 4. Hence, 4 divided by 3*n gives a subinterval length of 4/(3*n) and that leads to the above suggestion.
As far as I can make out, your code will probably work correctly as it stands except for the erroneous 'ru' array. However I would much rather see you write:
ru = linspace(4/(3*n),4,3*n);
instead of 4/(3*n):4/(3*n):4 . Then there would be no question of getting the proper number of elements in 'ru'.

Luxaviation's Belgian subsidiary Abelag acquired Paris Le Bourget Airport-based business aviation operator Unijet, the companies announced today. With the acquisition of Unijet, the Luxembourg-based parent company now has 350 employees and operates more than 60 business aircraft.
The consolidation of the two business aircraft charter and management firms will allow Luxaviation to pool many operational services, including maintenance, technical documents and insurance–a move that it says will boost its competitiveness. "These economies of scale, with the flexibility of an expanded and diversified fleet, allow the group's operators to maintain the best tariff level for the benefit of the clients," Luxaviation said.
According to Luxaviation CEO Patrick Hansen, "The integration of Unijet into our group is the confirmation of Luxaviation's international growth ambitions, mainly in Europe but also in Asia, where developments are currently moving quickly." Hervé Laitat, Abelag's CEO, added that the acquisition is "meaningful in a market segment that remains highly fragmented as 80 percent of aviation companies [each] operate fewer than four airplanes."
