Do you struggle with time management and disorganization? Then you must find time for this workshop, led by Deborah J. Cabral, Professional Organizer and Productivity & Efficiency Coach.
The economy is forcing businesses to do more with less. Being more efficient and increasing productivity are not only a benefit, they're a necessity.

Kind of scary to go into the children's book section of a bookstore sometimes: it's the noise. There are so many things that a child can push or pull to play sounds of Winnie the Pooh, Thomas the Tank Engine, or Wesley the Wombat that one wonders what libraries do at times like these. (Yes, I know it's not al "Sssshhh" in the modern library–Hi, ALA Convention!–but what do you do when little Susie smacks little Trevor and says "Shut off your Train Sounds; I wanna hear the pig go oink!"?)
It all started long ago, of course, and one of the early classics of the genre is The Speaking Picture Book, published by FAO Schwarz from the 1890s apparently right on into the 1940s. An 1893 copy of this was dropped off at the Book Fair a while back, and it is an amazing piece of work.
The book consisted of a brief narrative with great big pictures, pasted onto a decorative wooden box. All along the side of the box were ivory buttons. Little arrows in the picture book pointed to particular buttons, which meant you were to pull on them. When the button was released, it set off a little bellows and spring somewhere in the wooden box and made the most realistic meow, arf, moo, or baby cry. I think there were ten of these in a full book.
Our copy was greeted with modest cries of delight. The copy in the Newberry's collection had just been restored, but some of the pieces were still missing, and there was not a single page remaining of the text. Our copy had the text of the book, and a couple of the pieces needed for the library copy. (Which you can LOOK at in the library, but you are cautioned to ask a librarian to pull the strings for you if you want to LISTEN.)
Our copy was returned to us in decent condition, and will be for sale next week. Of course, it no longer has the bits that were taken, or the bits that were missing when it came to us. But the wooden box is intact, and inside it are seven little gimmicks that will work, I am told, if new strings are attached. We do also still have two of the original strings, but I'd prefer you wait until you get it home to pull these.
We do also have some of the modern variations in the Children's section, though a lot of them will need new batteries by now. It's reassuring to think that there are some constants in life: give kids an new way to make noise and watch their eyes light up.

Fr. Leonard Kronkowski, 88, of Riggsville, passed away at home on Saturday, Oct. 20th, 2012.
Fr. Leonard Kronkowski, 88, of Riggsville, passed away at home on Saturday, Oct. 20th, 2012.
The funeral mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, Oct. 23, at 1 p.m. at Sacred Heart Parish on Polish Line Road with Rev. Harry Speckman and Rev. Paul Megge concelebrating. Cremation will follow with a private burial at Sacred Heart Cemetery at a later date.
His wish was to have no luncheon to celebrate. Rather, in his memory, visit with a friend in need or shut-in person.
Fr. Kronkowski was born July 5, 1924 in Cheboygan, the son of John and Valeria (Robydek) Kronkowski. After his elementary education in Cheboygan county schools, he entered St. Joseph's Junior College in Grand Rapids where he completed high school and two years of college. He graduated from St. Joseph Seminary in June 1947. In September of the same year, he enrolled in St. Mary's College in Orchard Lake where he pursued his philosophical studies for the priesthood. In June 1949, he graduated with honors from St. Mary's College where he received his degree in Scholastic Philosophy. In September of 1949, Fr. entered St. Cyril & Methodruic Seminary at Orchard Lake for his theological studies. While at seminary, Father served as Associate Editor of the Polish language theological magazine, Sodalis, which was devoted exclusively to the treatment of current topics in the field of theology and Mariology. Upon the completion of his studies, he was sent by his ecclesiastical superiors to the Catholic University in Washington D.C. for further studies in theology. While at the University, he took post-graduate work in Greek and Classical Latin. Fr. Kronkowski was ordained to the priesthood on Feb. 5, 1955, at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C. by his Excellency, the most Rev. Bishop John McNamara D.C. Auxiliary Bishop of Washington.
Fr. Kronkowski was known for his linguistic abilities and could speak fluently in six languages. He was well versed in old church Slavonic, the ecclesiastical language of the Eastern Byzantine Church. He was also active in Polish and Polomia affairs. Shortly after the Second World War, Fr. Kronkowski was instrumental in sending a large quantity of medical supplies to Polish orphanages and hospitals. In 1950, Cardinal Saprcha Arch Bishop of Krakow, expressed deep thanks to Father for his interest in his interest in his polish ancestors. On the occasion of his ordination, he received many letters from various Polish civic leaders. Hon. Jozef Biaski, Ambassador of the United States, was present for Fathers ordination rites. On Sunday, Feb. 13, 1955, Fr. Kronkowski celebrated his first Solemn high mass at Sacred Heart Parish in Riggsville. After a few days vacation with his parents he was assigned to have mission retreats of various parishes as he was a gifted speaker. Fr. Returned to Washington, D.C. to complete his past graduate studies. After a severe car accident, he was recovering in hospital for eight months. After his release, Bishop Gaugham assigned him to parish duties in Indiana where he served for 36 years. He asked for retirement in March of 1997. Bishop Dale J. Malczek granted him senior priest status and he returned to Michigan to be with his family. Shortly after he suffered a stroke and remained home-bound.
On Saturday, after a peaceful death, he is home with the Lord, the Church and the priesthood which was his whole life. May he rest in peace.
Fr. Kronkowski is survived by a brother, four sisters, several nieces and nephews.
The Nordman-Christian Funeral Home is caring for the family.

Jin Mosley Gets Shane Mosley's Championship Belts in Divorce Settlement
Hold up………
I can't be reading this right. Granted we have all got on Mosley for his pathetic performance against Manny Pacquiao, but Mosley has had a long Hall of Fame career in boxing there is no way in blue hell his ex wife should get his belts.
But she did.
TMZ has obtained Sugar Shane's divorce settlement documents and — if you've been divorced — we're betting his is a lot different.
The settlement provides that ex-wife Jin "shall maintain custody and control of three championship belts for each of the respective parties' three minor children." Each of the kids get a belt when they turn 18.
And Jin will get half of Sugar Shane's cut of profits from videotapes and DVDs of his big fights, including bouts with Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto and Fernando Vargas.
Since the divorce was filed in California and community property rules apply, Jin gets half of Sugar Shane's fight purses during their marriage. But luckily for Sugar, his big fight against Manny Pacquiao was held after the couple separated, so his $3 mil is his alone.
I don't understand if the kids are suppose to get the Belts why Jin has to hold them, that just screams of bitterness. She is already getting half, don't be petty.
Sounds to me she mad Shane has upgraded to Bella Gonzales.

NEW WORKSHOP: Day of the Dead Workshop with David Alan Harvey
February 4, 2013
by David Alan Harvey
View profile
I am often asked by many, who assume that I have been "all over the world", to please name my favorite "place". The "where would you go on your vacation?" or "where would you shoot on your own" question… Certainly right up at the top would be my beloved Oaxaca, Mexico. I shot there for many months while working on a National Geographic story "Song of Oaxaca". Much of the work from this story was part of the portfolio that allowed me to become a Magnum nominee in 1993. Oaxaca has a special place in my heart. Mexico in general, but Oaxaca in particular.
This is the 4th year of the Day of the Dead workshop. This eight-day workshop is longer than most that I teach. It was designed this way so that participants will have a chance to photograph the preparations, traditions and processions surrounding the Day of the Dead tradition and also have time to document the everyday life of the streets in Oaxaca and the surrounding valleys.
You will be pushed to your limits if you join me. There are always days of frustration in my classes… not every day is a happy day. You should know going in that my intent is to take you from where you are as a photographer to your logical or aesthetic "next step" with the emphasis on becoming an essayist and communicating with true "visual literacy". I will do this with group critique and "one on one" discussions… our collaborative "final product" is an audio/music track slide show with each of you up on the screen as authors… your name, your title, and in front of an assembled audience from the local art community and special guests… at that moment, that very moment, you will forget the blood and the sweat from the days before.
Join us for a creative exercise and psychologically uplifting way of looking at your work. I welcome all styles of photographers from the journalistic to the conceptual.
October 28 – November 5, 2013
Where: Oaxaca, Mexico
Tuition: $3,000
**This workshop is designed for all levels of photography and is the only workshop offered where David shoots alongside students in the field.
To apply, please submit a portfolio (a link to your website is preferred) as well as a brief description of yourself and where you are as a photographer.
Workshop contact: firstname.lastname@example.com

Posted on September 17, 2012
You can be nostalgic about something and not miss it a bit. I was just recalling for somebody of a later generation how we used to wait several minutes for a picture to appear on a television set. They were not impressed. "Had to wait for it to boot up, eh?" she said. If I weren't known everywhere for my exquisite manners, I'd've shown her a new meaning for "boot up". Anyway, I was just thinking of the Book Fair days when little triangles littered the floor.
One of the problems in the book biz is that you never know what's coming next. For years, for example, inscribed books were worth a premium: those books where the author wrote, "For Pauline, in return for that rhubarb-cranberry pie". But then somebody came along and said, "Hey, who cares about Pauline and her pie?" and started the move toward books which are merely signed, with nothing but the author's name. You know how I feel about this: I already knew the guy could write his name; why can't I learn how he felt about pie?
But that's merely one example. Once upon a time, booksellers made a fetish of deleting the price from books they were reselling. The customers in those days were really fierce about this sort of thing, demanding, "Why are you charging a whole buck for this book when the original price was only a quarter?"
I still get that from time to time, but nowadays book prices are climbing so fast that people just take it for granted unless they are elderly stick-in-the-muds (remember that before you ask the question, next July.)
Some bookstores had employees (which were also less expensive in those days) who did nothing but ink out the prices on the covers of paperbacks and clip off the corner of the endflap with the original price for hardcovers. (A few would also cut off the words "Book Club Edition" so they could charge more for the book, but never mind about those ratfinks.) And, of course, it was very common, if giving a book as a birthday present, to clip off that corner so the recipient wouldn't have a clue.
In the beginning, we at the Newberry also did our best to remove prices. To this day we try to erase or cover up old prices pencilled in at other peoples' sales (or even our own.) But we did have a person who insisted on bringing her scissors and clipping off the corner of the endflap that said "3.95", just so nobody would come around and demand to know why we were charging five bucks. (It was always the same: "I know it's for a good cause, but you shouldn't be gouging the public.")
After a few years, however, we started to find, while doing our price research, that more dealers were noting of their books "Not Price-Clipped". In fact, it was becoming obvious that in many cases the point which proved a book was or was not a first printing was that price. (The Cat in the Hat, for example, has a price which reads "200/200" on the first printing, to show it cost two bucks. Later printings of the first edition say "195/195" because the price actually dropped by a nickel.)
Yeah, it took us a few more years to convince that volunteer to surrender her scissors and do something else with her time. She took up spending hours erasing the inscriptions from the front free endpapers. It's all in the details, isn't it?

I've found:
Broken mace
Broken sword
2 snakes
An egg?
Whiplash skeleton?
i think this is so beautiful. you guys have done an amazing job so far, and i can't wait to see it finished.
you can see pics of all my projects on my facebook page. facebook.com/don.schomer or email me :firstname.lastname@example.com
A M A Z I N G - I love it! I'll take one please
I keep having to re-check this thread because I can't believe how awesome this custom is. This is definitely the best castle custom I've ever seen....now if some uber-talented group of people would get to work on a Crystal Castle!
Could we get some Meteorbs, Please???!!!
Thanks everyone. I love checking in and seeing all the awesome feedback. We've started on the mold, brushing on the rubber. It's the biggest mold in the world. Weve been brushing the first layer of rubber on for 2 days and it's still not covered. Haha. Then we have to do the outer mother mold shell and then were finally good to go.
You found a ton of stuff! The egg is actually a ball and chain mace. You'll see! As far as taking more pics of the rooms, sorry, they are now covered in rubber! I'll look through the wip pics and see if I have some better views. Lots of fun stuff in the upper room I can't wait for people to see.
Oh my goodness!! All the people who can't stop looking at these pics are right there with me! I'm still more and more excited everytime I see the pics and the coments. I am so happy to be one of the lucky ones too! I just can't even put into words what this does for me. It brings back all my favorite childhood memories about the original since getting it and seeing it, and the artwork on the packaging, served to create and inspire my imagination. Those are my most favorite childhood memories of my life to this day.
I can't put into words how proud I am to know I have the privilege to get to know an artist like you through a place like this, it makes me feel so much closer to tallent when you get to talk directly to the artist who makes the art. Your skill and drive inspire me every day to want to believe more and more in myself even. So thank you for that in and of itself.
I can't wait til your next update and response to others comments and see how far you are then, in the meantime I too, won't be able to stop staring and wishfully awaitng what's to come in the pics we have so far.
I almost hate to say it, but I honestly think you may have made a castle that is better than the line it belongs to, except that I don't think I could possibly love the line more than I do (aside for wishing they would make P.o.P. toy accurate figures that were based on their own packaging artwork with pin up like legs and feet, beautiful faces and all, but that's best saved for another thread, LOL!) This line actually deserves only the best to go along with it and much like the battle ram we saw, this castle seems to go right along with it. And it's too awesome how you seem just as excited about it as I am when you say things like you not being able wait to see guys swarming all over it.
Just too excited for words for this! Always looking for the next coment and response!

Look for my designs on Deviant art. I am under Octobersdream. Will do commissions of anything, original to recreating any older line. Also needing POP stuff and some MoTU things aswell.
thank you so much, loved reading your comment. im glad we could spark some inspiration, and get you feeling like a kid again! we kept saying TOYLIKE as we made this, very often, because we really wanted this to fit in. and be TOYLIKE, but still have the best sculpt we could provide. so im glad it comes across that way, as fun, and playable, not just a detailed sculpture.
i cant respond adequately to your comment, but i do appreciate every word, ill be sure to show it to the other ben, so he knows our hard work paid off.
and i totally am JUST as excited, if not more, to have a fortress of my own, haha, im dying for it. that was the number one reason we started the project. i cant wait to add little touches to my own and make it custom, just as i would with a mainstream release. i cant wait!
thanks again.
the mooooold is alllmosst doooone.
Just came across this - awesome work! I really love it when artists try and merge a distinct take on the source material with "toylike" elements as you so aptly put it. Reminds me of the POP-styled custom figures some of the talents guys here at the .Org have made.
So yeah...I expect to hear about your plans for the Crystal Castle by the summer. Deal?
I can't wait to see the finished cast. I check this board way too much now. Love it.
not much more i can say but that its amazing.
Oh MOTU, Why Can't I Quit You!
My Trader Feedback thread:
Holy cow!! Amazing work! You really took it to the next level. I would love to take a crack at painting one of these
Is not not licking toads
This is amazing work. Keep it up. I can't wait to see more.
Does the base have removeable magnetic panels like the castle?? It looks like it might on the left side (the castle's left, not our left looking at it).
Very excited to see how a cast version turns out!!
It might be too much to hope for, but would it be possible to have a "room" in the area where the skull is? Accessible from behind?

Sometime ago, a Popular Singer and actress PS was almost engaged to be married to her non-showbiz Boyfriend BF of many years. But sadly, and to everyone's shock, all those years just ended up in splitsville. No reason was given.
After the split, PS continued with her showbiz career, and BF with his. Not long after, BF who worked somewhere decided to stay in town for good and was reported to be exploring on a new path -- to head a showbiz enterprise. Not a few eyebrows were raised, questioning his fitness to embark on something that's such a far cry from his professional training.
Back to the present. The gossip mill has been on fire for days with a Star's TS damaging expose on her unsettled grievances versus the people she had trusted. Her word against theirs. Public was treated to a buffet of dizzying versions of the scandal. Everyone had seen the surface. But has anyone tried to scratch the bottom? Let us see.
Mrs. Career Woman MC who is close to showbiz powerful is allegedly "involved" with the now married BF who heads the enterprise. BF now does good business with MC who helps him ink transactions through her big connections. But their business dealings have been stepping on not a few toes who bear the brunt of being dislodged from their comfort zones the moment they try to question MC and BF. The scheme allegedly had been grossly disadvantageous to the people involved such that those who could not stand the heat, chose to get out of the kitchen before they get burned. But the rest -- the "no choice" ones, just grin and bear it.
But not the one stubborn antagonist SA whose many interests are in grave conflict with both MC's and BF's. SA who is the principal author of the major chaos within the organization, had allegedly secretly manipulated everything by conveniently using a "dummy" to expose and shame MC and BF -- while she watched. The astute SA who has her own gigantic family issue as well, tried to soften the blow by focusing on the affairs and dealings of MC and BF. How clever!
And TS, the gullible dummy, who is like a basketball dribbled back and forth, is the one most heavily wounded in this spectacle. Will she be able to bounce back after the game? We will watch.

U.S. Marshalls showed up at the house of one of the jurors in the flipping fraud case to demand his presence in U.S. District Judge Judge Elizabeth Kovachevich's chambers on Monday morning.
But Patrick "PJ" George told the Herald-Tribune Thursday night that he was in Pennsylvania, taking care of a sick relative and would not be able to make it back to Florida by Monday morning unless the government bought him a plane ticket.
George recently sent an email to one of the attorneys involved in the case, alleging jury misconduct during deliberations for the three-month trial that ended in April.
George said in the email that one of the jurors used the Internet to research the case after repeatedly swearing not to do so. When George learned of the other juror's action, he acknowledges threatening to turn her in to the judge unless she changed her vote from "not guilty" to "guilty."
George also said Thursday night that he believed Paula Hornberger and George Cavallo -- two of the defendants in the case -- were innocent. But he said he changed his verdict because he felt pressure from the judge.
On May 3, the jury foreman in the case sent a message to Kovachevich that the panel had been unable to reach a unanimous verdict. After meeting with the attorneys for both sides, Kovachevich invoked what is known as an "Allen charge," in which a judge tells the jury to go back and reconsider their positions.
In George's mind that meant the judge wanted the jurors who wanted to acquit -- himself and an unnamed female juror -- to negotiate with the 10 jurors who wanted to convict.
And that's what he did.
He reached an agreement to convict the three defendants -- Hornberger, Cavallo and Joel Streinz -- on fewer counts.
Jurors often feel pressure when judges invoke an Allen charge, said Arthur Patterson, a psychologist who serves as an expert in juror misconduct cases.
"In effect, what's happening is that the authority figure in the courtroom -- the person who jurors think knows what's going on -- says, 'You haven't done your job' when, in fact, they have done their jobs," Patterson said. "The facts were presented. You deliberated and if you can't reach a verdict, you're done."
But when a judge tells a juror they are not done, that causes some people to change their minds on the verdict, Patterson said.
Here is what Kovachevich told the jurors when she invoked the Allen charge:
"Members of the jury, I am going to ask that you continue your deliberations in an effort to agree on a verdict. This is a complex case -- the trial has been expensive in time, effort, money and emotional strain on both the defense and the prosecution.
"If you fail to agree on a verdict, the case will be left open and may have to be tried again. Obviously, another trial would only increase the cost to both sides and there is no reason to believe that the case can be tried again by either side any better or more exhaustively than it has been tried before us,
"If a substantial majority of you are in favor of a conviction, those of you who disagree should reconsider whether your doubt is a reasonable one, since it appears to make no effective impression upon the minds of others.
"On the other hand, if the majority or even a small number of you are in favor of an acquittal, the rest of you should ask yourselves again and thoughtfully consider whether you should accept the weight and sufficiency of the evidence that fails to convince your fellow jurors beyond a reasonable doubt.
"You should not be hurried in your deliberations and you should take all the time you feel necessary."

Huskers Prepare for First Intraquad Meet
Lincoln, Neb. - The Nebraska men's gymnastics team will host their first intrasquad meet this Friday and Sunday in preparation for the 2013 season. The meet will be held at the men's gymnastics practice area in the Bob Devaney Sports Center and is free of charge and open to the public, though limited room will be available for spectators.
Nebraska will perform routines on every event, beginning with floor exercise, pommel horse and rings on Friday at 2:30 p.m. The meet will continue on vault, parallel bars and high bar on Sunday at 2 p.m.
"The intrasquad is kind of an eye opener for the younger guys," said Husker Coach Chuck Chmelka.
This year, each gymnast will qualify for their events during practice by getting a full, saluted routine approved by one of the team's three coaches. Only those with accepted routines can participate in the intrasquad.
"If you don't get a check, you sit there," Chmelka said. "Well, nobody wants to sit. So, it's been kind of an interesting last month."
The Huskers welcome four freshmen and one transfer athlete to the team in 2013. Austin Epperson will not compete in the intrasquad due to an injury, but might become essential in the team lineup throughout the season. Joining Epperson are Omaha, Neb., native Ethan Lottman, Minneapolis' Coleman Tokar and Sam Chamberlain from Franklin, Ohio. Transfer student Zach Hedval will also joins the team after a two-year hiatus from the competitive atmosphere.
Nebraska will begin their 2013 season on Saturday, Jan. 12 at the Rocky Mountain Open in Colorado Springs, Colo. The Huskers will host three regular-season home meets against Illinois-Chicago (Jan. 27), Oklahoma (March 3) and Iowa/Minnesota (March 16). The Huskers will also see three gymnasts contend in the annual Winter Cup on Feb. 17-19 in Las Vegas, Nev.

Luther and Loras split the four-game series after the Norse swept the Duhawks this afternoon.
In game one, the Norse never trailed taking a 1-0 lead after two and adding three more in the bottom of the fifth, en route to the 4-1 victory. Alex Byom (6-0) went the distance on the mound, allowing one run on four hits.
Eric Pittman tallied two of Luther's five hits and drove in a run in the fifth with a triple to right field. Andy Briggs and David Lowe also drove in a run.
Zach Hendrikson, who was 2-for-4, drove in the game winner with a double for his third RBI of the game. Hendrikson drove in Briggs, who one batter earlier, drove in Austen Graham and Aldon Severson with a single to tie the game at 5-5.
Matt McKinney (2-3) picked up the win in relief. McKinney allowed one run on three hits in 5 2/3 innings.
The two wins gives Luther a league record of 9-13, 13-17 overall. Loras fell to 9-11 in the IIAC, 16-15 overall.
The Norse will return to action on Tuesday, April 20 when they will host league leading Wartburg College. This double header will begin at 1:00 p.m.

From a young age as a kid to her time in high school, Kalie Robinson always has been good at softball.
Robinson even started on varsity her freshman year with the Orioles under former coach Ray Aguirre.
Aguirre, now the pitching coach and assistant for the Friends University softball team, said she'll soon be competing for a starting position as a freshman in college next year. Robinson will join her former coach at Friends as she signed a letter of intent Thursday to play for the Falcons.
"It's awesome. All my hard work has paid off," Robinson said. "Going to college, it'll be something new, a step higher, but I feel confident."
Robinson has earned All-State honors as an outfielder and plays centerfield this season for the Orioles. Aguirre said that the Falcons will lose five outfielders to graduation, so Robinson will have plenty of opportunity to earn a spot on the field right away.
"She can play all three spots. She does a very, very good job of reading the ball," Friends head coach Tony Segovia said of Robinson.
Robinson had chances to play for just about every junior college around, but after she visited Friends, she knew that's where she wanted to go.
"I just connected when I went there," Robinson said.
Robinson isn't the only Oriole who will be on the Falcons roster. Friends has two current players who are former Orioles, including freshman Christina Downs, a former teammate of Robinson's who graduated AHS in 2012.
"It's a blessing, because I already know what she can do," Aguirre said of bringing in Robinson. "Recruiting is one thing I get to do at this school now. I know what kind of kids are here (in Augusta), and as many as I can get, I will take."
"That makes it even more comforting because I know what he expects and how he coaches. There's no dramatic change," Robinson said about Aguirre.
Last season, Robinson was second on the team with a .394 batting average (Downs had a .395 average), second in RBIs (15) and second in slugging (.515). She had a .972 fielding percentage.
Robinson has gotten off to a hot start in 2013. She is 4-for-9 with five RBIs and six walks through the first four games of the season for Augusta (4-0).
"Ray was always talking about her, so we've watched her since she's been with the [Augusta] program," Segovia said. "She's a good kid, good attitude, very athletic. She does well in the classroom, too."
Robinson likely will focus her studies on the medical field or forensic science.
Her parents are Teresa and James Robinson.

tom, if you dont put a quick and decisive end to the very cultish flavor that this is beginning to develop you are going to drive away a lot of long time loyal customers and website members!
if members wish to develop and foster this club or that, so be it! the fact that i shoot a mag should be the only membership card AGD needs.
i implore you, end this before you kill the very thing you are trying to 'create' with these threads. that 'thing' has always been around, you just created the product that personified that attitude, trying to further name it, then market it with t-shirts and hopper stickers only cheepens it, you and your website(a website that i used to call 'our' website).
i love my mag and i loved my AGD, now i am just embaressed. but then again, who knows? maybe the lemmings will prevaile, the new AGD will park its new 18wheeler right next to 'smart-parts' 18wheeler at the next 'big show' and the newer, more hip 'tom' will peddle the real 'Tom's ideas to the glassy eyed masses who starve to belong to a group, any group, especialy a group united under a bright red star on a black field!
Now make sure you drink ALL of your kool-aid!!

Stanczyk was visiting the State Archives in Poland and he saw the news…
The State Archive in Wroclaw is celebrating the 200th anniversary of its opening. They published a monograph, "The State Archive in Wrocław 1811-2011. Past and Present ", The main celebration will take place on 28th of September. If the Archive is 200 years old, then I wonder how old its oldest documents are? Please note if you click on the Union Jack flag (for English) you will miss this announcement which only listed on the Polish language version of the page.
Shoemaker's Guild
I wanted to search their IZA database to do a "Key Word" search across all State Archive Offices on the topic of Guilds, in particular Shoemaker's Guild (cechu szewskiego). I have previously written about these guilds before in this blog. I used the 'cechu' AND 'szewc' as my keywords and I got back seven results:
I circled the Catalog Number (sygnatura) which is a link that can be clicked. When you click on it, you are taken to the specific page for the archive that has the material you need.
The first part of the four parts indicates the archive office (see drop down below). The second is "series", the third is "sub-series" and the fourth part is file number. Now the material retrieved from the IZA database is in Polish, so if you are not fluent in Polish, you will need your Google Translate webpage.
So when you click on the Catalog number the top of the page should look like …
The address and phone number at the top left. Further down the page it describes the archival file(s) from your search — in Polish!
The initial database search screen also has a drop-down field that maps the State Archive Offices to the number (the first part of the Catalog Number). You may want to limit results to a specific office if you are only searching in a specific archive office when you visit Poland.
So you see at the bottom of my drop down that 32 = Krakow State Archive in the Nowy Targ office. The 32 was the first part of my catalog number: 32/1/0/64 .
You can click these images at the left to see a large size image that will be easier to read.
In terms of vocabulary, the series + the sub-series (parts 2 & 3) are the FOND. The fourth part, the file number, is also called 'OPIS'.
You will see these words used with the other databases, in particular, the PRADZIAD database that has the vital records (church registers -or- civil office records).
It is this jester's hope that this info can help you navigate the State Archives of Poland's three databases (also a fourth database, ELA which is not very useful):

DRACUT -- Thanks to the generosity of his teammates, Dracut High senior Tim Desrosiers will be able to play in the last two hockey games of his varsity career.
Desrosiers' family home in Dracut was badly damaged by a fire Wednesday. The 2-alarm blaze reportedly began in the basement, which is where Desrosiers stores his hockey equipment.
All of Desrosiers' gear was lost in the fire, which started just hours before Desrosiers and his parents were scheduled to take part in Senior Night festivities prior to Dracut's home game against Wayland.
Desrosiers, a three-year letterman, attended the Wayland game as a spectator, drawing strength from the support he received from coaches and teammates. Thursday his teammates made sure he'll be in uniform for the Middies' final two games as they came up with all the necessary equipment needed for him to play.
"We held our Senior Night Wednesday," said Dracut coach Mike Marshall. "Timmy was going to be joined on the ice by his parents. I figured he'd be all excited. But then I saw him show up at the rink without his equipment. As soon as he waved me over I knew something was wrong. As I got near him I could see he was welling up a little bit.
"Then he tells me coach, 'My house is on fire.' I was like what are you doing here? Is everyone out? He told me everyone was safe and the firefighters were hosing down his house. His parents told him to come to the game.
Desrosiers' teammates took it upon themselves to help get him back in the game.
They presented him with everything he will need to play in the Middies' final two games of the season before Thursday's practice. And best of all, Desrosiers, a left winger on the third line, and his parents will be honored during a special Senior Night ceremony prior to Dracut's game against Lowell Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Janas Rink in Lowell.
"I get to practice today and our two captains (Mat McKinnon and Payne Bourgeois) come tell me, 'Coach the team was able to get Timmy all the stuff he needs to play," said Marshall, whose Middies are 4-11-3. "He's going to be able to finish the season.' Our kids looked all over to get him equipment. They got him old stuff, borrowed stuff, you name it.
"When Timmy joined us at practice, the kids stopped what they were doing and banged their sticks on the ice. They were so happy to have him back out there. They just mobbed him. I was taken back. I couldn't believe what I saw. It was unbelievable. The kids did it all on their own. You read so much bad stuff about kids. This was just the complete opposite. I was overwhelmed and proud about what they did for Timmy."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Today" weekend anchor Jenna Wolfe says she and NBC news correspondent Stephanie Gosk are expecting a baby girl in August.
A smiling, joking Wolfe made her announcement on NBC's morning show Wednesday, saying, "I'm quite pregnant, actually." The baby is due in mid-August, the 39-year-old Wolfe said.
"You kept a secret pretty good," "Today" anchor Savannah Guthrie told Wolfe.
In a blog posted on the "Today" website, Wolfe said she and Gosk, 40, were two years into their relationship when they realized they wanted to "share our adventures with a wide-eyed little person."
In a People magazine story out Friday, Wolfe discussed why the couple decided to share news of their pregnancy and relationship. As Wolfe put it: "I don't want to bring my daughter into a world where I'm not comfortable telling everyone who I am and who her mother is."
Other TV journalists who have come out as gay include Anderson Cooper of CNN, Sam Champion of ABC and CNN's Don Lemon.
