Modern conveniences make our lives easier, no doubt. I remember when we got our first car phone. It actually had to be attached TO the car. And when my dad went out grocery shopping and my mom forgot to put something on the list, she could call to remind him not to forget the OJ. What a revolution. I remember remarking, "what did we do before car phones???" Now, I travel almost everywhere with a cell phone, a BlackBerry (my "BB"), my tiny Nikon digital camera, an iPod, and if I'm going somewhere for more than 3 days, my computer – because I never know when there might be a blogortunity.
The same holds true for me in the kitchen. I never thought I needed a mixer, but now I can barely fathom making a cake without mine. (And I recall when a newly smug married entered my apartment and exclaimed, "Zahavah, you have a Kitchen Aid, you don't need to get married!"…I just looked at her husband and could not utter the pitying comment that I would not come up with until hours later.) Even in my 6X6 Manhattan kitchen (and now in a larger, newer Boston abode), my "work space" was somewhat cluttered with a mini food processor, blender and multiple immersion blenders, crepe maker, waffle iron, and George Foreman grill, and don't forget the 3 sets of pots and pans. Yes… in addition to basari (meat) and chalavi (dairy), I have a small collection of parve (neutral) batterie de sine (Ok, it's not really batterie de cuisine, but after finishing Julia Child's My Life in France this weekend and visiting The Breakers and The Elms in Newport, RI last week, I have decided to adopt this terminology. And, anyway, a girl can dream!)
But every once in a while, it's refreshing to leave a lot of the fancy things behind and keep things (relatively) simple.
This weekend, I visited the condo in Sunny Isles, Florida that my snowbird grandparents (whom you met briefly; I have referred to my grandmother as "Grapefruit Bubbie" because we always had a grapefruit half waiting on each plate before dinner) left to my mother after their passing, and that my parents just finished gutting and renovating. While this was normally our winter get-away, my sister and I joined my parents to toast our new southern abode this past weekend.
My job was to start to outfit the kitchen and my sister, the architect, is in charge of any design decisions that have yet to be made.
Since no one will be living here full-time, we're really trying to keep things pretty basic. We've thrown out a lot of things, but have kept some stuff worth saving. Starting from the beginning means I'm out buying measuring cups, cookie sheets, and salt (and parchment paper and Callebaut chocolate…maybe you see where this is going…) and making do with some oldies but goodies, like Teflon pots and pans that were probably bought when Teflon was a novelty and are still in their original boxes.
Being here in the heat of August that does not let out even in the evenings means that I am barely in the mood to cook. We do a lot of take-out from the local kosher markets – my favorite is Sarah's Tent in the Waterways.
But there are just a few things that no one can make for me, and that I made with the most basic of equipment. Fresh iced tea from tea bags seeped in a Corning Ware percolator, voided of its percolating bits. Lemon balm-infused simple syrup to sweeten said iced-tea. Salad with marinated zucchini and other veggies, some of which, like the lemon balm, are from my CSA and I could not bear to leave to languish in my fridge.
And of course, a family favorite – chocolate chunk cookies (with only chocolate chunks, no nuts). I meant to bring down a jar of almond butter, but in my rush to catch my flight, I grabbed peanut butter instead. I hoped the recipe would be pretty adaptable and my father had been talking about these cookies for over a week (I made them for him for father's day and he and my mother have been asking for another batch since then.) For the past few days, in between dealing with plumbing problems, last minute meetings with the contractor, and the-ever-important few hours in the late afternoon sun, I've been amassing ingredients in the store. After lunch today, I grabbed a few old school bowls, measured out my dry ingredients, let the margarine get to room temperature, measured out the peanut butter, and chopped up the Callebaut chocolate with a Ginsu knife (remember those? Yup, Bubbie had one!).
The first step: "Using electric mixer, beat butter/margarine, almond butter, and both sugars in large bowl until light and fluffy." Hmm, I have never done this without a mixer. Ok…well, back to good old-fashioned elbow grease. I grabbed a spatula and set to work, first just beating together the butters. So far so good. A nice even creamy mix. OK, I was ready to add in the sugar. And I set to work with the same intensity as before.
The first kitchen casualty.
Without missing a beat (well, I did snap a few photos), I pulled a big spoon from the drawer and finished up the dough, adding in the chocolate chunks and then throwing the dough in the fridge to cool before running out to the pool for a few late afternoon rays.
After returning from the pool where I finally caught up on my New Yorkers (funniest line in the 8/3 issue: "You know who looks fabulous in a bathing suit? A mannequin. Also, a hanger."), my sister arrived, we grabbed a quick dinner and then toasted our new apartment with some sparkling wine and peanut butter cookies.
In my opinion, they are not as good as the original recipe, too crispy where the others have the perfect chewy bite, but my family seemed to like them, because when I woke up this morning for my early flight home, there seem to have been a few cookie monsters in the middle of the night.

Felix Bruce Gleason, crew member on the Little Lulu. The date written below his name on the picture reads "19-Aug-22-1944."
A Genealogical Odyssey
Felix Bruce Gleason, crew member on the Little Lulu. The date written below his name on the picture reads "19-Aug-22-1944."
Felix Bruce Gleason was my Uncle. I was amazed to see this article pop up during a google search to see if I could identify which cemetery in France he is buried in. My mother has the records and letters of his death but we couldn't put our fingers on them the other day as she has recently moved and is still unpacking. The picture on this post is the same one that my mother has on her wall.
It is my understanding that the crew members of the Little Lulu who died when the plane was shot down were buried first in Czechoslovakia (by the villagers who watched the air battle). The bodies were later reinterred in a common grave in the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery in Kentucky. That being said, I could not find him in the Nationwide Gravesite Locator through the web site for that cemetery: http://www.cem.va.gov/cems/nchp/zacharytaylor.asp
Somewhere I have a picture of the tombstone. I'll try to dig that up to see what's written on it.
Thanks for dropping by!
P. S. My grandfather was Sgt. Thad J. Watson Sr. If you do a site search for his name or the Little Lulu, you can see some of the documents we have. When your mother finds her records for your uncle, I would love to see those, if she's willing to share copies.

All varieties of peas have been available lately in Southern California, and their full flavor and crisp texture is incomparable. In addition to the classic English pea, there is the snow pea and, my favorite, the sugar snap pea.
Now, sometimes peas can be a bit complicated. Do I eat the pod? Can I eat it raw? What exactly does shuck mean? Thankfully, a farmer at our local market recently put up signs:
No one ever has questions about the snow peas; they're low maintenance.
Is you should ever find yourself in this situation (and don't have a hand written sign to help you), here's a pea primer. Pictured below from left to right are the English pea, the snow pea, and the sugar snap pea.
The basic garden pea was cultivated in England, which is why it's called an "English" pea. When buying English peas, look for plump, deep green, rather heavy pods, as these will have the largest peas. They can be eaten raw or cooked.
To shell the peas, simply snap off the top and pull down, until the stringy spine is removed and the pod opens up; remember to throw away the inedible pod. There are two things you should know about shelling peas:
1. They're like spinach. You need to start off with a lot more than you think you'll need; then you should have just enough. In general, 1 pound of peas in their pods yields about 1 cup of shelled peas.
2. Don't shell peas by yourself. It's no fun. Plus, if you do it alone, then there won't be anyone to prevent you from eating all of the peas before you can make your recipe. Don't laugh. It happened to me. I had to buy more.
Snow peas are typically associated with Asian cuisine; this is no coincidence, since historically, they have been cultivated in Asian countries and are also called Chinese peapods. Ever wonder why they're flat? It's because they're harvested while the peas are still underdeveloped. Look for snowpeas that are bright green, flat, and almost translucent. They are entirely edible and can be eaten raw or cooked.
What happens when you cross an English pea and a snow pea? You get the best pea of all: the sugar snap pea. These are crisp and sweeter than English peas and can be eaten raw or cooked (but only briefly, or the flavor and texture will suffer). When selecting sugar snap peas, look for puffed up, bright green pods. Don't worry if the pods have some white scratch marks on them; my local farmer says that's normal. Just remember to "snap" the top of the pea back and pull until you remove the stringy spine on both sides of the pod.
Though I make many dishes that highlight each of these peas, today I decided to share one that includes all three. Using the freshest dill you can find and freshly squeezed orange juice elevates this warm salad to something special. This salad could also be made using all raw vegetables and substituting red onions for the shallots and some olive oil and vinegar for the butter. It's also my submission to Lis of La Mia Cucina and Kelly of Sass and Veracity who are co-hosting Salad Stravaganza.
Warm Three Pea and Radish Salad
Makes 4 side servings.
Print recipe only here.
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp butter
1 ½ cup radishes, thinly sliced
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (or carton juice)
A couple of pinches of orange zest
2 cups snow peas
2 cups sugar snap peas
1 cup shelled English peas
½ cup fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt butter. Add the shallot; sauté 2-3 minutes. Add radishes, and sauté 1 minute more. Add the orange juice and zest. Once it begins to heat up and bubble, lower the heat, and add the snow peas and sugar snap peas, and cook 1 minute. Add the English peas, and cook another 30 seconds. Turn off heat as peas are best when al dente. Add the fresh dill, and season generously with salt and pepper. Garnish with orange zest, if desired.
Note: If you'd like the dressing a little bit thicker, then simply dissolve about 1 tsp of cornstarch in a little bit of water and add with the orange juice.
Serve as a side salad or over a cooked grain, such as couscous, for a more complete meal.

DOVER — Residents of Sawyer Mill Apartments said a wing of the third floor was blocked off by crime tape over the weekend as police investigated the death of Elizabeth Marriott, a University of New Hampshire student.
A knock at the door of the murder suspect, Seth Mazzaglia's, third-floor apartment went unanswered Monday evening. This was just a few hours after Assistant Attorney General Jane Young announced the Dover Police Department is now leading the investigation into the murder, which took place inside the 1 Mill St. building.
Mazzaglia, a 29-year-old actor and martial arts expert, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the crime. He was arraigned Monday and ordered held without bail in the Strafford County House of Corrections.
Marriott's body has yet to be located, and Young said the search could continue for several more days.
The walkway to the Sawyer Mill complex, a spacious rehabilitated mill building, was dotted with flyers Monday asking the public for help finding Marriott. Volunteers distributed the flyers in Dover last week in hopes of locating the missing marine biology student. They contained color photographs of the former high school prom queen and long-time aquarium volunteer from Westborough, Mass., along with offering a $10,000 reward for information of her whereabouts.
One of the flyers was seen posted Monday evening against the wall of a laundry room on the third floor of the building, about 20 paces away from Mazzaglia's apartment door. Friends and family have described Marriott as a fun-loving, trusting young woman with a wide circle of friends who was active in chorus and a prom queen in high school. She loved animals, volunteered at the New England Aquarium and helped put herself through school by working at Target. Ken Ziniti, a store manager at the Target store in Greenland, said Marriott was one of the nicest young people he's met. "Put a smile on everybody's faces," he said. "She worked all over the sales floor, always out in front of the guests." Mazzaglia graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 2006 with a degree in theater. University of New Hampshire professor David Kaye, who once taught Mazzaglia in an acting class, said Monday that he had been a hard-working student who had a special interest in stage combat. He said people at the school feel for the victim's family and are shocked and saddened by what's happened. "Everybody is sort of reeling from all of this news," he said. An acquaintance who encountered Mazzaglia on Friday, three days after Marriott's death, said the aspiring actor was "upbeat" and described his life as "really good." Craig Faulkner, who works at a theater company where Mazzaglia had auditioned, said he chatted with Mazzaglia for about 20 minutes on Friday while shopping at Best Buy in Newington. Mazzaglia, who was working in the store's video game section, said, "Life is good," to Faulkner, producing artistic director at Seacoast Repertory Theatre in Portsmouth. "I just asked him, 'How are things?' He said, 'Things are really good,'" Faulkner said. Allison Abernathy, a 37-year-old Dover resident, said she encountered Mazzaglia numerous times in the area around the Sawyer Mill apartments. She said Mazzaglia discussed his acting career and his interest in martial arts with her, and also talked about his girlfriend. Abernathy said her relations with Mazzaglia were good, but he began to give her a strange "vibe," and she was unnerved one night by one of his remarks. "He said he had a short fuse, and that gave me a red flag," Abernathy said.
A search for Marriott's remains was ongoing in the waters off Lookout Point on Peirce Island this week. Police first descended on the island Friday evening after receiving what they call "credible" information indicating Marriott is deceased. Investigators remained there until about 4:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon before re-opening the area to the public.
"That is because credible information has led us to that area," Young said Monday. "Given the eddies and the currents, there have been a number of challenges."
Young said the search may last several more days, and will involve the use of underwater cameras. Investigators are considering bringing in cadaver dogs for assistance. They have also notified authorities in Maine and Massachusetts to be aware of the search, in the event a body turns up on the coast.
Marriott, a 19-year-old sophomore, was living with her aunt and uncle in Chester this semester and commuting to UNH for classes. She was last seen on Tuesday, Oct. 9, the night police say she was allegedly strangled or choked to death inside an apartment on the third floor of the Sawyer Mill apartment building.
Investigators are asking anyone with information relating the murder of Elizabeth Marriott to contact the Dover Police Department at 603-742-4646.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I've been working on an application to the Daughters of the American Revolution for several years now. The service of this particular patriot ancestor, Phillip McConnell, has already been proven (to the extent that the DAR requires such proof), as has his connection to his only son, William McConnell, as have the connections between William and most of his children.
I had already gathered most of the other evidence necessary to prove the lineage from myself to Margaret (McConnell) Carpenter, one of William's children, lacking only a copy of my father's birth certificate, which has gone mysteriously missing. While waiting for my father to locate that document, I happened across a petition for sale of the lands of William Carpenter, Margaret's husband.1 In it, William's surviving sons and the heirs of his deceased sons petitioned the court to sell William's lands so that the monies could be divided amongst all the heirs. In particular, I was delighted to find this:
[The petitioners] respectfully showeth unto your Honor that William Carpenter died many years since leaving a will which was duly admitted to probate and that in said will he devised the hereinafter described lands to his wife Margarett Carpenter for and during her actual life and at her death to his six sons in fee simple equally to be divided between them as tenants in common and that Margarett Carpenter died some time during the year 1866 […]
Margaret's tombstone has not survived the ravages of time (if one was ever placed), and so this may be the only extant evidence of her date of death.
One thing to note is that William wrote his will in January 1836.2 He was deceased by the time the 1840 US census was taken in Macon Co., NC.3 Yet his estate was not completely settled until the death of his wife in 1866, some 30 years later. This example amply illustrates the need to search for records related or pertaining to an ancestor for a time period well after he or she was deceased.

When you list your home in St. Clair, Missouri with a flat fee MLS service, the potential savings are huge — or at least it might seem that way.
The truth is is that when you work with a flat-fee MLS listing service, MLS access is the only thing you get. The value ends there.
In order to actually sell your home, you'll have to cover a number of additional fees and costs: staging and improvements, professional photos, legal fees, title fees, lockbox, showings, marketing, and more.
In addition to these hidden costs, homes listed by owner with flat fee MLS services typically sell for up to 13% less than agent-assisted sales.
In St. Clair, Missouri the average home price is $78,100 — that means you could be leaving as much as $10,153 on the table.

"My femininity was seen as a problem that needed to be solved."
Laverne Cox is talking about her childhood in Mobile, Ala. She remembers being routinely chased and beaten by classmates after school. Cox was born biologically male, and her gender identity was confusing and threatening not just to other children but to the grown-ups in her life as well. Her third-grade teacher warned her mother, "Your son is going to end up in New Orleans wearing a dress if we don't get him into therapy right away."
Last week, Cox was in a dress on a cover of Time magazine that trumpeted a new era of acceptance for transgender people. And you know something? She looked gorgeous. Cox is one of the breakout stars of Orange is the New Black, the acclaimed Netflix series set in a women's prison starting its second season on Friday. Her character, Sophia Burset, is a former firefighter who committed credit card fraud to pay for the medical costs of her transition.
Cox found her own trans community after moving to New York City for college. She fit right into the burgeoning Club Kid scene. "I had a shaved head at the time, and shaved my eyebrows and I wore false eyelashes every day," she recalled fondly. Spotted by a theater professor, she was cast in a production of the Max Frisch play Andorra.
"And I had no lines!" she exclaimed of her inauspicious debut. "I played the village idiot, and the village idiot grinned and nodded ... and I kinda stole the show."
Cox started acting professionally in theater, independent film and television. Tall black trans women tended to get cast as sex workers on network TV, and she played a few — on crime dramas like Law & Order. Cox also had to deal with offscreen bigotry, including an assault that occurred while she was walking through the streets of New York City.
"I heard some anti-trans slurs," she remembered. "And I heard someone yell out, 'That's a man,' and I passed this group of guys — they were all black guys — and one of the guys kicked me."
The incident led Cox to compete on the VH1 reality show I Wanna Work For Diddy. She was less interested in the prize — a job as the music mogul's personal assistant — than in presenting a narrative for a mass audience in which a black trans woman wins respect from a powerful African-American man. Although she didn't win, VH1 gave Cox a reality show of her own. TRANSform Me! featured Cox and two other trans women making over hapless frumps. It lasted only one season.
"The show ended up getting lots of criticism from the trans community," Cox admitted. Some of those critics were tired of shows in which gay people and trans people magically fix straight people's style issues. Orange is the New Black, on the other hand, is receiving no end of laudatory comments and awards, including the Peabody earlier this year for illuminating the lives of incarcerated people and those dehumanized for their perceived gender difference. But Cox appreciates the love from people on the streets.
"This woman, she sees me in Union Square and she's like, 'Oh my God, I love you in Orange is the New Black — and I was in prison!' " Cox hoots. "And I was like, 'Oh! What were you in for?' "
Cox's character is incarcerated in a women's prison. That's not necessarily common. The actor is currently producing a documentary about Cece McDonald, a black trans woman in Minneapolis who in 2011 fought an attacker and killed him. She didn't get off on self-defense. She served time in a men's prison.
One of this summer's most anticipated shows is set in a women's prison. The second season of "Orange Is The New Black" is out today on Netflix. Few of its stars are getting more attention than Laverne Cox. She was recently featured on the cover of Time magazine as a symbol of transgender acceptance. As NPR's Neda Ulaby reports, Cox plays a trans woman who used to be a burly male firefighter.
NEDA ULABY, BYLINE: There's a scene from the first season when Cox's character, Sophia Burset, stands awkwardly before a mirror, gauging how she looks in a tight denim miniskirt and sparkly purple top. With her is her wife, who did not expect this in her marriage, but she's trying to offer support.
TANYA WRIGHT: (As Crystal) You should be dressing like a classy, grown-up lady.
LAVERNE COX: (As Burset) You think I'm classy?
COX: (As Burset) I can't have my husband walking around like a 2 dollar hooker.
ULABY: The wife rifles through her closet and pulls out one of her own dresses.
WRIGHT: (As Crystal) Yeah, this color looks good on you.
ULABY: It's a gift - a costly one.
WRIGHT: (As Crystal) I can't believe I'm doing this.
COX: (As Burset) You don't have to.
ULABY: Not many characters on television look like Laverne Cox, a tall, glamorous, black trans woman. And they were rarer, still, in popular culture when she was growing up in the 1980s in Mobile, Alabama. As a child, Cox was mesmerized by the androgynous beauty of a dancer on the music show, "Solid Gold."
COX: This woman by the name of Darcel, and she had this impossibly long, like, hair-weave and she was just fierce. And as a kid I wanted to be Darcel.
ULABY: Because Cox acted like the woman on TV she idolized, her schoolmates chased and often beat her after school.
COX: My femininity was seen as a problem that needed to be solved.
ULABY: And to solve it, her third-grade teacher called her mother one day...
COX: ...And said, your son is going to end up in New Orleans wearing a dress if we don't get him into therapy right away.
ULABY: There was therapy, but also dance and theater classes at a high school for the arts. Cox found community there, and went on to study creative writing and dance in college. First in Indiana, then in New York City.
COX: I had a shaved head at the time, and I shave my eyebrows, and I wore false eyelashes every day.
ULABY: She was spotted by a theater professor, who cast her in a play by Max Fisch called Andorra.
COX: And I had no lines. I played the village idiot, and the village idiot grin and nodded. And I kind of stole the show.
ULABY: Cox started acting professionally on television. Black trans actresses tended to get cast as sex workers, and she played a few. Then there was the off screen bigotry like when she was walking through the streets of New York.
COX: Then I was kicked. I heard some anti-trans slurs, and I heard someone yell out that's the man. And I passed this group of black guys, and then one of the guys kicked me.
ULABY: That led Laverne Cox to go on a reality show, "I Want To Work For Diddy." She hoped by competing to be the music mogul's personal assistant, she could show a black trans woman getting respect from a powerful African-American man. She proved popular with the other contestants.
UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKERS: Laverne.
ULABY: And with viewers. VH1 gave Cox her own reality show where she and two other trans women made over hapless frumps.
COX: Look how that takes in the waste.
The show ended up getting lots of criticism from the trans community.
ULABY: Some of the critics were sick of shows where gay people and trans people ran around, magically fixing straight people's style issues. There's a slight element of that on Cox's super successful drama, "Orange Is The New Black." Cox's character, Sophia, runs a jailhouse beauty parlor.
COX: (As Burset) You know how often I come by new weave. You're probably going to look like this until Christmas.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Uh uh, I paid you seven bottles of Pantene for this.
COX: (As Burset) Ain't my fault you...
ULABY: The show's creator, Jenji Kohan, talked about Sophia on WHYY's "Fresh Air." The show flashbacked to the character's life before jail and before she medically transitioned. Kohan said that presented a problem.
JENJI KOHAN: Laverne's a woman and she has breasts, and she doesn't have body hair, and she - you know, it would have been very difficult to show her as a man.
ULABY: But as it happens, Cox has an identical twin brother.
KOHAN: Her brother came in and did a great job. We have this one scene where he goes down to rinse his face in the sink, and then she comes up in prison. And it's the same face.
ULABY: In the show, Cox's character commits credit card fraud to cover the cost of her medical needs, and she's busted.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: You have the right to remain silent.
COX: (As Burset) I don't understand.
ULABY: "Orange Is The New Black" has won a Peabody for illuminating people, too-often dehumanized by their incarceration or their perceived gender difference. And Cox says the show gets plenty of love from people on the street.
COX: This woman - she sees me and it was great. She's like, oh my god, I love you in "Orange Is The New Black," and I was in prison. And I was like, oh. What were you in for? (Laughing).
ULABY: Cox's character is in a women's prison. Laverne Cox is now producing a documentary about a trans woman in Minneapolis who fought an attacker and killed him. She served time in a men's prison. Neda Ulaby, NPR News.

Some Subtleties of Aliasing
Last month, I mentioned an example that slipped by without the scrutiny that it deserved:
void scale(vector<double>& v, const double& x) { for (auto p = v.begin(); p != v.end(); ++p) *p /= x; }
I described this example by saying that it "divides every element of a vector by a given scalar. The program's author defines the scalar parameter
x as a reference in order to avoid copying it."
As an example of a problem with this code, I suggested that it might be called by writing
scale(v, v[n]);
with the aim of dividing every element of
v by
v[n], but that this call would actually do something else entirely. From the comments on the article, I think that some readers were unclear about what that something else might be. To understand this call's behavior in detail, we have to look at the code more closely.
Let's begin by assuming that
v is a
vector<double>, and look at this code (not as part of a function):
for (auto p = v.begin(); p != v.end(); ++p) *p /= v[0];
What does this code do?
We'll begin by noting that the code does nothing at all unless
v has at least one element. In that case, the first trip through the loop has the effect of executing
v[0] /= v[0];
which, in turn, has the same effect as executing
v[0] = 1;
v[0] was already zero, in which case the effect is undefined).
Once we have set
v[0] to
1, each subsequent trip through the loop divides a different element of
v by 1, effectively leaving that element's value unchanged. In other words, this entire loop is equivalent to writing
v[0] = 1;
in all cases in which the original loop is well defined in the first place.
Now let's look back at the original
scale function, and imagine that we call
scale(v, v[0]);
This call has the same effect as executing
v[0] = 1;
for exactly the same reason as before. The second parameter to
x, is a reference to a
const double. In this case, that reference refers to
v[0]. As soon as the value of
v[0] is set to 1, every additional trip through the loop divides an element of
v by 1 in exactly the same way as the previous example.
You may argue that this behavior is probably not what the programmer intended. In particular, the statement
*p /= v[0];
was almost surely intended to use the same value for
v[0] each time through the loop, rather than having that value change merely because
*p and
v[0] happen to refer to the same location in memory.
But that's the problem: Regardless of what the programmer might have intended, what the programmer wrote is crystal clear. A programmer who intended to use the same value for
v[0] each time through the loop would have defined
x as
double rather than as
const double&. The moment one defines a reference, one admits the possibility that that reference might refer to an object that might have different values at different times.
This example shows how aliasing can cause paradoxical behavior. Often, one writes a function parameter as
const double& rather than as
double because of a desire to avoid copying the parameter when it might not be necessary to do so. However, this strategy of avoiding copying is useful only when it is possible to be sure that the parameter's value does not change at any point in the function that uses the parameter. In this particular example, when the compiler sees that
x is a
const double&, it has to take into account the possibility that any statement that might change the value of any
double object in the entire program might coincidentally be changing the value of the object to which
x refers. As a result, the compiler pretty much has to generate code that copies
x's object every time that object is used, rather than copying the object once at entry to the function and being done with it.
More generally, aliasing is a hazard associated with references and pointers. In the absence of other information, any reference or pointer has the potential of referring or pointing to any object of the given type in the entire program. As a result, using a reference or a pointer typically has to refetch the object from memory, just in case that object might have been changed since last time. As a result, using a reference or a pointer to avoid copying an object has a good chance of backfiring.
As ever, the choice of whether to define a function to be called by reference or by value is better made on the basis of clarity than it is on the basis of whether it is possible to avoid copying an argument.

Interested in all the March madness tournament bracketry, but not really into college hoops? Maybe you're looking for a way to redeem yourself after penciling-in Duke to go all the way? Whatever the case, we've decided to throw our own Jalopnik-style bracket-madness party! Instead of basketball, we've got cars! And don't think this isn't some randomly-selected field of Consumer Reports top choices. What we have is a 32-car selection from one of the coolest car movies ever made: the original Gone In 60 Seconds from 1974. Through the rest of this week and part of next, your votes will be tallied to decide the winners of each face-off. Polls will open tomorrow, so that gives you today to print out your own bracket, fill in your predictions, tell your buddies, and make up your own office pool. It also gives you time to go watch the movie, but if you want just a quick refresher, we've provided that too.
This is the star of the show; the top seed. A seemingly indestructible 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that runs from the law in a glorious 40-minute chase scene.
The local country radio reporter's ride, a Ford that might as well have "dorky" painted all over it.
A drop-top Ford with questionable structural rigidity that gets hit in the side so hard it splits neatly in half. Ridiculous, but funny.
The Belvedere rent-a-cop with a German Shepard. Attempts to chase down a tow-truck stealing a Challenger, and fails.
A burgundy Roller stolen in broad daylight from the airport drop-off curb; chauffeur left the key in it.
A Fleetwood serving as personal transportation for the ring-leader of the operation. An arranged assortment of sunglasses on the dash, and enough room for the whole crew to cruise around.
Stole a Challenger right off a dealership lot, then outran security even with the Challenger still attached. The star of the second best chase in the movie.
A poor little Type 3 that got flipped on its roof by Eleanor, starting a huge pileup. Cute car, humiliating role.
The Dodge carries the flag for all the cop cars in the movie. They're cool rides burdened by somewhat inept drivers.
One of the "girls" on the hit list, though it only appears on film for a moment. Not a hearse, but a custom station wagon.
License plate reads "OOO GAL." The Dodge was a stolen car wearing VIN tags from a wrecked donor; An identity thief before it was popular. Sadly, it had to go to the crusher once people started getting wise.
A new Plymouth out on a test drive gets smashed by a cop in pursuit of Eleanor.
Lyle Waggoner's Intermeccanica Italia swiped from spaced-out stoner cleaning it.
A stolen Corvette in a sizzling color. Not on film very long, but it leaves an impression.
The undercover cop that started the epic chase with Eleanor. It Went toe-to-toe with the Mustang, but couldn't quite keep up.
A nice bright green Dodge that suffered the fate of being crushed by a garbage truck rolling onto it.
An old sedan DeVille ridin' low. Occupants seemed to enjoy smokin' the herb so much that they drove the Caddy to self-destruction.
A Rolls limo big enough to carry a fully-assembled bicycle in the back seat with room to spare. Just wait for the chauffeur to leave the car unattended, insert the bike you rode up on, and drive away. Petty theft made high-class.
Don't get distracted by the girl, this DeTomaso is what you really want. She's just askin' for it, leaving the keys in the car like that.
This Jensen Interceptor is practically good enough for JFG, and it's apparently good enough to make the South American client's, list as well.
Fantastically obscure Manta Mirage stolen during a test drive. Salesman gets out to switch seats, thief slides behind the wheel and takes off.
The Maserati is another car on the list only appearing for a moment, but it's pure style.
A Cadillac filled with drugs, one of the few things to survive in the remake movie from 2000. How do you get rid of all that white powder? Burn it. Who cares if it's worth a million bucks on the street; these are responsible criminals.
The hopped-up Plymouth was on the screen for only a quick flash, but we're sure it's even quicker down the strip.
Parnelli Jones' Baja Bronco is the icon of off-road racing. But that didn't stop anyone from stealing it in the movie.
The Lamborghini is elegantly beautiful, but forgettable in this context.
Epic cool car and JFG resident, but it's too bad we can't see it's wacky suspension in action.
Who needs a high-tech anti-theft system? Just keep a tiger in your Cadillac.
Another limo left unattended and vulnerable. All the coolness factor of death with none of the emotional struggle.
Hard to say what exactly has been done to this Chevy Vega, but it sure ain't stock. Another one we'd like to see actually driving.
It looks plain on the outside because it's supposed to. There were two identical Fords used for scouting out all the cars on the to-be-stolen list before the day of the big hit. Equipped with walkie-talkies too!
Nothing says "Malaise Era" more than a Stutz. And this one was stolen right in front of a confused old lady. Classy.

Aiguille du Midi: Frendo Spur – 3800 m; 800 m 50°; North; TD+; 5.4/ E4
Jones rider Luca Pandolfi is finishing off his winter in epic fashion.
The Chamonix shredder has been ticking off heavy mental lines like they were laps in the terrain park. Last week of May he laid tracks on two of the most classic lines in the Cham valley – the Mallory route and the Frendo spur on the North Face of the Aiguille du Midi.
Keep reading for a tease of his trip reports from the Aiguille then jump to Luca's blog for the whole story – www.lucapandolfi.com
"Riding the Frendo Spur has been a dream of mine for quite some time. This year, two parties have already skied it but only the second party found good conditions. Some people aim to be the first to ride a line, whilst personally, my aim is to ride a line in good conditions where I can have fun and make dynamic turns…this requires a lot of patience and waiting. Finally we got what we were looking for, perfect conditions for freeriding the Frendo Spur! It does not happen very often." – Luca Pandolfi
Warm-up turns above a 600 meter cliff dropping into the Frendo.
Could you make those turns knowing you were above this cliff?

The Frendo line required five raps.
Aiguille du Midi: Mallory route – 3800 m; 800 m 50°- 55°; North; TD+; 5.4/ E4
"Spring has still not yet arrived here in the Alps, it just keeps dumping. I have never seen the mountains plastered with so much snow and it has been a while since we have had any sun in Chamonix except for few rare windows.
Last Sunday the forecast looked like it was going to give some compassion to the snow junkie community, so I headed to the Aiguille du Midi station . We rode the Mallory in rare amazing snow conditions. The clouds were moving fast, so we rode fast…no time to take any pictures." – Luca Pandolfi

This is another photograph from my own collection. Continuing a theme that I seem to have been following recently it is another group image.
When I first looked at the photograph I was convinced they were nurses, possibly in the grounds of the hospital where they worked. The more I have studied the image I am less certain.
I now wonder if they could be domestic servants – house maids, kitchen maids and cooks.
Why do I think that, well:-
• the woman in the middle of the back row appears to be wearing a chef's hat
• the woman on the right side of the middle row seems to be holding what looks like cleaning materials
I have a couple of other photographs of this same group and although you can't make it out very well the woman front right is holding a tennis racket. I suppose it is possible that hospital's had tennis courts but I think it is unlikely.
I've seen my mum today and she can't shed any light on the photograph at all. We have plenty of domestic servants in our family tree so I am assuming that perhaps one of the people is an ancestor.
But as with many of the photographs in my collection it will probably forever remain a mystery. As piece of social history maybe my descendants might find it as interesting as I do.

Welcome to the South.
Atlanta, to be exact.
I spent last weekend with my adopted Atlanta family. They "adopted" me years ago when my parents had moved to the West coast and getting home for the holidays proved difficult. The first time I went home with Meira was Rosh Hashana. I met the family – Monica, Caroline, Micah and relatives from Montreal – over dinner. A dinner that included simanim – eating symbolic foods to represent hopes for the coming new year. A dinner served on three tables that snaked around the dining room. (You know how much I like snaking tables for the holidays.) A dinner that included so much food and so many guests that it had to be served buffet style in the kitchen.
When we had gathered around the buffet, Meira pulled me aside and whispered "FHB." In response to my tilted head and furrowed eyebrows, she explained, "family hold back – I'm afraid we won't have enough food for our guests."
At that point, I knew I was part of the Katz family.
The next morning when I stumbled downstairs, I found Deborah at the kitchen table, having popped over for breakfast. (Deborah! I used her first book as a source for my high school senior thesis. So, I'll just say it again: Deborah!)
Over the course of the next few days, we had lunch with Roberta and Allen, Leslie and Chuck, and countless Atlanta families who have welcomed me back into their homes and their community many times since.
Over the course of the next few years, the Katz family grew, and I've joined in for many of their simchas (celebrations). First Caroline met Randy. Natanel soon followed as they purchased a house just a few blocks from Monica. Then came Eden with those long gorgeous eyelashes. Then Micah met Eliana. Meira and I visited them out in San Francisco last year. Amanda Lynn and Chipper Jones rounded out the family. Caroline and Randy bought a mini-van for this growing brood.
The kids got nicknames. For a few months each, I called them Monkey and Duckie after the stuffed animals I bought when they were born. But, leave it to the Katz family – they are a family of nicknamers. Nanz and Shaindy quickly emerged. As Nanz grew, everyone around him got new names. Monica became Maman. Caroline and Randy became Mommy and Abba. Meira became Dodah. Micah and Eliana became Uncle Macah and Auntie Ana (with the British pronunciation of auntie, not the American "antie"). Deborah became Dodah Deba. This trip, I became Dodah Gayle (though I'm still pushing for Tante Gayle). Natanel also started calling me Miguel — I'm thinking he means My Gayle, and I'm cool with that.
As a birthday gift to Maman, I offered to cook shabbat dinner last week. Well, that's not entirely accurate. When she heard I was visiting, Monica (I'm still getting used to calling her Maman) emailed me immediately to ask if I would cook for her and the family. In the days leading up to my trip, she and I emailed back and forth to decide on a menu and prepare a shopping list. Mere hours after my arrival, we went grocery shopping. For fifteen people. That's right, fifteen family members and guests would grace our table that Friday night. I've never cooked for that many people in my life.
We filled a giant shopping cart at Kroger. We bought over 8 pounds of mushrooms (that soup recipe will follow in a few days), 3 bunches of red chard, 10 pounds of potatoes, 4 heads of cauliflower, and on and on. While I'm mentioning Kroger, let's talk about their in-house (kosher) butcher for a moment. When he saw the two of us pondering the ribs in the refrigerated section, grumbling that they were not quite what we wanted, he approached and asked if he could help. I explained what we were preparing and that I needed thick short ribs – about 2-3 inches of bone – and cut in one or two rib pieces. He returned with a piece of meat, cut to my specifications, asking if it was OK. It looked great. He then spent the next 30 minutes while we filled that giant cart, cutting and packaging the meat exactly the way I wanted. I might actually consider that this year's Hanukkah miracle.
While on line, Monica sent me back to the butcher to pick up a few more pounds of short ribs (again, exactly to my specifications). At this point we had north of 13 pounds of ribs. I can say for sure that I have never had that much raw meat in my posession in my life (though, I did once come close).
We got home and I set to work. I seared and I braised. I stirred and I blended. And then we all went out for Chinese food for dinner.
Before the guests arrived, Monica fretted that we wouldn't have enough ribs to go around. The rule of thumb is one pound of ribs per person, but I had figured that 13 pounds would suffice for 15 people since a few of those people were kids. Like a good Jewish mother, Monica was concerned that someone might go home hungry.
So, I made an executive decision. We were not going to serve buffet style. We were going to plate in the kitchen and serve everyone individually. You should try this because everyone thinks its fancy.
And no one in the family had to hold back.
Ana Sortun's tamarind-braised beef short ribs ("Sultan's Delight")
This recipe is from Ana Sortun's Spice" Flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean with just a few modifications. It serves 8, but it's easy to modify using the formula of 1 pound of meat per person. This is one of those recipes that can be made in advance and is better the next day. I like to use a cocotte (dutch oven) with a heavy cover because you can sear and braise in the same pot. If you don't have one, use any other ovenproof pan covered with heavy duty aluminum foil.
– 8 pounds beef short ribs (1 pound per person)
– kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
– 1 C medium-bodied red wine (I used a shiraz)
– 1 C balsamic vinegar
– ½ C packed brown sugar
– 3-4 garlic cloves
– 1 large onion
– 1 carrot (or a handful of baby carrots)
– 2 T tamarind paste/concentrate (see directions below to make your own, or buy the kosher Golchin brand)
Prep. Bring meat to room temperature. Pat dry and then season meat on all sides with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 350F. Roughly chop the onion and carrot, and mince the garlic. Whisk the tamarind into a cup of water and set aside.
Sear. In an ovenproof pot (a dutch oven/cocotte is great), sear the seasoned meat in a tiny bit of olive oil – you don't need to add much oil because short ribs do have a fair amount of fat. Sear the meat until there is nice caramelization on all sides. You know it's ready when the meat shrinks away from the bone. You may need to do it in 2 batches, depending on the size of your pot. Put the seared ribs on a plate.
Deglaze. Deglaze the pan with the red wine. Add the vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic and mix until the sugar dissolves. Pour the liquid into a bowl.
Fill. Lay the ribs in one layer on the pot. They can be a little bit crowded. Pour the liquid mixture and the tamarind paste dissolved in water over the ribs. The liquid should come ¾ up the sides of the short ribs. Add more water if necessary.
Cover. Cover the meat in the pot with parchment paper and then cover the entire pot with heavy duty aluminum foil. Then cover the whole thing with a heavy lid or an extra layer off foil. Essentially, you want the pot tightly closed.
Braise. Place the pot in the oven and braise for 3 – 3.5 hours. You know the short ribs are ready when they fall apart when poked with a fork. Some of the bones will probably be completely separated from the meat.
Strain. Use tongs to remove the meat onto a platter. Strain the liquid into a bowl.
Chill. Place the bowl of liquid into the fridge for at least an hour until the fat rises to the top and completely solidifies.
Boil. Boil the de-fatted liquid in a pot and then simmer until reduced by ¼. Whisk every once in a while – the sauce will thicken and glisten.
Reheat. Return the short ribs to the cocotte/dutch oven. Add half the sauce and about ½ C water. Cover tightly and reheat for 20-30 minutes, rolling the ribs around in the sauce every 10 minutes.
Serve. Pour a little extra warmed sauce over the ribs when you serve them with mashed potatoes, sauteed red chard, and "popcorn" cauliflower.
Tamarind paste
Tamarind is a fruit in a pod. You can buy the dried pods in Indian grocery stores. Making the paste from scratch takes a while but isn't too labor intensive – I've actually made it a few times. What you're interested in is turning the sticky stuff into a concentrate. This recipe is adapted from Aromas of Aleppo: The Legendary Cuisine of Syrian Jews.
– 1 pound tamarind pods
– 1 C sugar
– 1 T lemon juice
Peel. With your fingers, gently crack the dried pods and pull out the sticky seeds. The seeds are linked in a chain and have a fibrous "spine" running down the length of the fruit. The "spine" comes off pretty easily – discard this along with the pod shells.
Soak. In a large bowl, cover the sticky seeds with warm water. Cover and soak overnight (at least 6 hours).
Strain. With your hands, mash the pulp, separating out the fibers and pits. Cut out a large piece of cheese cloth and double it up. Place it in a bowl and fill it with the pulp. You want to have a lot of extra cheese cloth around the edges. Pull the edges of the cloth together around the pulp and keep twisting to strain out as much of the pulp as possible.
Soak and strain again. In a new bowl, dump the pulp that was left in the cheesecloth in more water. Again, mash up the pulp. Strain through cheesecloth again. You may need to do this a third time.
Boil and simmer. Bring all of the strained liquid to a boil in a large saucepan. Lower the heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Mix in sugar and lemon juice.
Boil again. Increase the heat to medium and slowly boil, stirring with a wooden spoon. The mixture will continue to reduce and eventually turn very dark brown and take on a silky consistency.
Store. Once the concentrate has cooled, pour it into a glass jar. You should have about a cup. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to a year.

A blood glucose test measures the amount of a sugar called glucose in a sample of your blood.
Glucose is a major source of energy for most cells of the body, including those in the brain. Carbohydrates (or carbs) are found in fruit, cereal, bread, pasta, and rice. They are quickly turned into glucose in your body. This raises your blood glucose level.
Hormones made in the body called insulin and glucagon help control blood glucose levels.
See also:
Random blood sugar; Blood sugar level; Fasting blood sugar
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture.
The test may be done in 2 ways:
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of diabetes. However, other tests (glucose tolerance test and fasting blood glucose test) are better for diagnosing diabetes.
The blood glucose test is also used to monitor patients who have the diabetes. It may also be done if you have:
If you had a fasting blood glucose test, a level between 70 and100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) is considered normal.
If you had a random blood glucose test, normal results depend on when you last ate. Most of the time, blood glucose levels will be below 125 mg/dL.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
If you had a fasting blood glucose test:
Higher-than-normal random blood glucose levels may be a sign of diabetes. In someone with diabetes, it may mean the diabetes is not well controlled. Your healthcare provider will likely order a fasting blood glucose or a glucose tolerance test, depending on your random test result.
Other medical problems may also cause higher-than-normal blood glucose levels, including:
Lower-than-normal blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia) may be due to:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
Many forms of severe stress (for example, trauma, stroke, heart attack, and surgery) can temporarily raise blood glucose levels.
Drugs that can increase glucose measurements include the following:
Drugs that can decrease glucose measurements include the following:

A while back, I wrote about pinpointing my priority surnames in order to provide a better focus to my personal research. I have had a bit of luck learning more about a few of those ancestors, and wanted to share a little of what I've found.
Elizabeth (Morris) Carver
I've already written about one breakthrough, when I described finding the death certificate of a great-something uncle, William M. Carver, who was the son of William and Elizabeth Carver.
The death certificate included Elizabeth's maiden name, Morris, and listed her place of birth as Cobb Co., GA. Cobb County was not formed until 1832, when northwest Georgia was opened to white settlement on land (eventually) ceded by the Cherokee. Since Elizabeth was born about 1800, it's highly unlikely she was born within the jurisdictional boundaries of a county not formed until after several of her children were born. It may be, however, that her family (parents and siblings) moved into that area after it opened up. There were several Morris men living and doing business in Rabun County during the same time as Elizabeth and her husband, William. I have not been able to pursue each of these men fully yet, but have it on my "to-do" list.
James R. Roberts
Here is one man I never thought I would find, but I have made some progress. I have been reorganizing my office and shuffling files around for the past few months, and during this process, I picked up James' file and began transcribing records related to the probation of his estate, records I'd photocopied several years ago during a trip to his home county of Jackson in Georgia.
There were several important clues to the life and time of James and his family held within those records, not the least of which was a reference to vouchers held by Rachel Garner and Jake Cheatham. The whole entry including these names struck me as being a little odd, so I followed up and found that Rachel's maiden name was Roberts, and that she was buried in the same cemetery as Jake, who apparently was one generation younger and had married a Garner, possibly one of Rachel's daughters. Rachel was of an age to be James' sister, and so I've been investigating that angle.
While I was at it, I re-studied the federal census records I had gathered for James and found several clues I'd previously overlooked. As it turns out, James lived near the widow of Lewis Roberts in 1870, and in 1880, his older daughters (by his first wife) were living with an Elizabeth Roberts whose relationship to the eldest daughter was given as "aunt." I'm fairly certain all or most of the Roberts family in this area of Jackson County were related, or at least entertwined, but I haven't quite worked out how yet.
Nancy (Lay) Callahan
While looking through James R. Roberts' estate records, I also found references to his estate paying monies to several of his daughters by his first wife, Mary (Callahan) Roberts, for their part of the estate of Zachariah Lay. Finally, I had found a connection from Mary to her parents, John and Nancy, and then to the only Lay in Jackson Co., GA, who was of an age to be Nancy's father but who I hadn't previously eliminated as a candidate for said father.
Part of the block with proving Nancy's parentage lay in the fact that Zachariah seemed to have disappeared from the record at about the same time that Nancy died. I couldn't find records in Jackson County related to the probation of his estate and, I confess, at the time I was originally looking at this family (some 15-odd years ago), it never occurred to me that he might have moved out of the area…which he did, to Tennessee, with several other children. While these entries within the estate records of James R. Roberts will need to be shored up by other records, I was quite ecstatic to discover the "missing link" nonetheless.
And the moral of the story is…
The evidence we need to prove generational and other connections is often in the place we least expect it. Following collateral lines, sometimes even two or three generations out, is often one of the most useful things we can do to break our brick walls.

Family welcomes home one-eyed dog they gave away years ago
Malnourished dog nursed back to health
A Clifton family who gave away their half-blind dog got a sweet surprise.
Two years ago, the Sloan family adopted Carrot. The hound was blind in her left eye and with two small children, they decided to give her to another family in Price Hill.
Last week, Carrot came back to the Sloans.
"It looks like she was coming home. She was found two blocks away. She could have run in any other direction but she chose to come to Clifton," Kristen Sloan said.
Carrot was malnourished but the Sloans nursed her back to health.
They said they were so surprised to have her home. Now that their kids are older, they said they aren't about to make the same mistake twice. The Sloans have decided to keep Carrot.
"We're going to keep her for good. We feel like it's our second chance," Sloan said.
