Tigers finish behind rival Dundee at league meet
The Division 4 No. 1-ranked Hudson High School wrestling team went 24-3 on the day to earn second place at Saturday's Lenawee County Athletic Association Tournament at Onsted. Hudson earned 202.5 points and finished second in the final LCAA standings.
Blissfield placed sixth in the tournament with 32 points, placing the Royals in a three-way tie for fourth in the final standings with Columbia Central and Hillsdale. Onsted came in eighth with 24 points and tied for seventh with Erie Mason.
Division 3 top-ranked Dundee won the tournament with 246 points and won the LCAA title. The Vikings recorded six first-place finishes along with seven second-place wrestlers.
Hudson had a league-best seven champions and three second-place finishers — even with standouts Jacob Morgan and Tyler Roberts ineligible for the tournament.
"The rest of the team stepped up huge today," Hudson coach Scott Marry said. "We only lost three matches all day, and all of them were in the finals. We didn't allow a single pin, either."
The Tigers won every opening-round match in all of their weight classes. Once the finals began, the tournament essentially turned into a dual between Hudson and Dundee. The rivals faced each other in all but five of the finals matches with Hudson gaining six wins to Dundee's three.
Roddy Hamdan (103 pounds) earned a bye into the finals, where he won by pin. Isaac Dusseau (119) won by pin, as well, going 3-0 on the day and kicking off a Hudson hot streak of four straight finals wins over the Vikings by pin. Mason Lopinski (125), Cole Weaver (130) and JD Waters (135) all earned pins in the finals.
Weaver was impressive on the day, winning both of his matches by pin in a combined time of 63 seconds. Weaver is still undefeated this season.
"I don't really keep track of records," said Weaver. "I just keep winning. Now I'm just waiting for states to get here."
Kyle Johnson (152) scored a big 9-1 major decision for the Tigers. Wyatt Spangler (140), John Michael Martinez (145) and Alex Messer (171) each finished second.
Hudson got its last win of the day in the last match of the day. Zach Rieger faced off against a familiar opponent in Dundee's John Marogen at 285. After two scoreless periods, Rieger was able to get two points on a reversal in the final 40 seconds of the third to earn a 2-0 win.
"It feels really good to get the win," Rieger said. "It's a big confidence booster heading into the postseason. Honestly, I hate wrestling (Marogen) so much. We just know each other so well that it's hard to really do anything."
While Hudson wasn't able to defeat Dundee, Marry was still thrilled with his team's performance.
"We came here to wrestle and we did that; place didn't really matter to us," he said. "Our guys showed what they're capable of today. I've very proud of the team."
Blissfield's Thomas Jackson (189) and Dakota Underwood (215) each finished in third place. Blissfield's Dylan Thompson (285) came in fourth.
"It's a tough league with Hudson, Dundee and Ida," said Blissfield coach Andy Ford. "I feel that we're getting better, though, and our upper weights did really well today. Now we're gearing up for districts and looking forward to that."
The top performer for host Onsted was Isaac Westgate (130) with a third-place finish. Chad Smith (125) and Ian Clark (215) each placed fourth.
"We struggled today," said Onsted coach David Pearce. "There were three matches where we were close to getting a major decision, but we let ourselves get pinned. I've been disappointed with the team's effort at the end of the season, especially with how we've been practicing. We need to turn it on for the postseason. The skill is there, but we need to be more physical and mentally strong."

Although I strive to adapt this column as new things happen, it's helpful to start a new year with a list of important, less-time-sensitive topics as a backup. Planning is essential.
Although I strive to adapt this column as new things happen, it's helpful to start a new year with a list of important, less-time-sensitive topics as a backup. Planning is essential.
But I can start that list next week.
First, last things first, regarding 2012. Lake Superior State University's 38th annual list of banished words was released Monday.
That leads to my semi-annual column in which I analyze the list.
No surprise, perhaps The Buzz Phrase of 2012, fiscal cliff, is on the list.
Others: kick the can down the road; YOLO; double down; superfood; and boneless wings.
Also included is "bucket list," which somehow missed the cut until now. It seems like that would have hit the banishment mark in about 2010.
"Kick the can down the road" doesn't bug me much. I'm probably just postponing my hatred.
I don't get too worked up over things like YOLO. Short for "you only live once," it's kind of the same thing as a bucket list, but shorter.
Some people consider boneless wings a "superfood."
That wraps up the analysis portion.
I like to skim the Banished archives to find other buzzwords and phrases that were either absorbed into common use or have yet to fall off the cliff.
2007: Chipotle. I still either mispronounce it or misspell it, or both. I still haven't grasped its true flavor, delicious as it is. That, as they say, is "my fault."
1997: Aroma therapy. At the time, Lake Superior considered it two words. Once it became one, there was unity, and endurance.
1987: Wellness. I'm quite sick of this one.
1982: First time ever/all-time record. Still commonly uttered in sports context.
Retro-skim concluded.
Words and phrases I'm either inventing or trying to overuse so they'll catch on to the point of annoyance.
Simultask. "This energy drink makes it possible to stay awake and simultask all day long."
App-titude. I don't know what it means yet, but that will take care of itself.
IONO (I only nap occasionally). It may never catch on, and it doesn't apply to me.
With that, I'll start working on that to-maybe-do topics list. I can't kick the writing down the road for too long.

The difficulty with providing an image for use as a Sepia Saturday prompt, particularly one that you've used previously, is that it's a little trickier to produce an interesting follow on article. Hence I'm going off on a somewhat different tack this week. Feel free to play the embedded sound track while you're reading, and it will hopefully provide an appropriate background to the photos.
Unidentified couple and baby with garden tent, c.1893-1898
Cabinet card (roughly trimmed) by unidentified photographer
Image © and collection of Brett Payne
Come into the garden, Maud,When Alfred - for surely that must be his name - charmed Maud with those silken words, it seems unlikely that he envisaged such an outcome: tea with Maud, but also a very alert baby, and a photographer in attendance to record the event. He is not amused!
For the black bat, Night, has flown,
Come into the garden, Maud,
I am here at the gate alone;
And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad,
And the musk of the roses blown.
For a breeze of morning moves,
And the planet of Love is on high,
Beginning to faint in the light that she loves
On a bed of daffodil sky,
To faint in the light of the sun she loves,
To faint in his light, and to die.
Maud; A Monodrama
by Alfred Lord Tennyson
The Miller house, shop and post office, c.1905-1910
Image republished from old postcard by unknown publisher
It wasn't just the faintly ridiculous pose which attracted me to the cabinet card, purchased on eBay, but also the tent. It is similar to one just visible in this image of the Weston Underwood garden of my great-great-grandparents John and Eliza Miller. When I last used this image, in the story of John's father James Miller, drainage man, I suggested that the tent might have been "used as a children's playhouse." Perhaps they were a common appearance in late Victorian and Edwardian gardens, and primarily protected tea drinkers from the harsh summer sun?
For more picnics and garden gatherings, please pay a visit to the 190th edition of Sepia Saturday.

Happy Columbus Day to all who are celebrating the occasion, which seems to be a smaller group every year. I saw an interesting suggestion over the weekend for how to make this controversial holiday an occasion more people could support by rebooting it as "explorer's day." I think that would be a good idea because it might help reinvigorate the idea of exploring space, since it seems obvious that this is vital to the long-term survival of humanity.

Im home alone with Rose today, who spent yesterday puking in our salad bowl (and on the floor, the couch, ... ). Im trying to be a gracious mother, the kind who isnt thinking about deadlines, but instead is preparing a Valentines Day craft on a table not buried in dishes and newspapers.
My poor, sick baby bursts into the living room wearing tap shoes and a leotard, instructing me to turn on the radio.
Is my belly soooo precious? she asks, her shiny shoes clapping the tile floor. Is my belly your best friend? Rose sticks out her tummy and leaps around the room. The radio plays Blondies Atomic, and Rose twirls and says, I like the part where she says, your hair is beautiful toooonight, mistaking sexual innuendo for some princess anthem.
I am watching her, this gorgeous 5-year-old girl creature with long, winter-pale legs, and thinking Oh, yeah. Rosie loves music, she loves dancing. Sometimes, I forget shes not the toddler whose main interests are nursing, avocados and wearing my underwear on her head. And its partly that for years shes been tagging along while Col patents himself as the first bike rider, the first reader of the family, the first to evolve beyond drawing scribbles, while Rose is still hunched over her paper, drawing, well, scribbles.
But lately, its like Rose is coming into focus; its like shes erupting geyser-like out of the geological layer of our firstborn. And I feel sheepish writing this because it shouldnt be a surprise, but Rose is so capable. Last weekend at the hot springs, while Dan, Col and I were lounging, hotly, on the steps, Rose flapped over to the limp pile of us and said casually, Im starting to swim and breathe and not touch the ground all at the same time. And then she kicked away like a fish, having taught herself to swim while the rest of us were impersonating lobotomized lobsters.
And she does love music and dancing, which is to say, Rose is different than the rest of us. I think even at 8, Col is inclined toward growing tomatoes and hunting elk, whereas, Rose would be happy to spend the weekend browsing the pink plastic jewelry convention, or even at home sorting stickers and shiny beads. She recently explained that she doesnt want to wear the brown hand-me-down sneakers, she wants pretty shoes, and you could almost hear the busy signal in my ears, because fashion occupies a dingy, shriveled space in my brain. Even my dad commented about how Rose spends a lot of time brushing her hair and changing her clothes, adding, Its funny, she doesnt get that from you.
Rose is tucking away the trundle bed I slept on last night in her room. She takes off the sheets and blankets and pillows and scoots them back to my room.
Im better, Mama, you can sleep in your own bed tonight. And then she prances back to her room to change leotards, or sort fancy beads and stickers, to be her amazing, changeable, inspiring self.

You get to carve 4 faces in the side of Mt. Ranier to best represent the Seattle Seahawks. Who do you choose? Not 3, not 5, only 4!!
Paul Allen
Steve Largent
Cortez Kennedy
Walter Jones
Others in contention:
I wanted to put the original owner on there, and I know it was originally owned by the Nordstrum family, but not sure of any individuals. Interesting fact that I did not know, Lloyd Nordstrum is the guy that signed the franchise agreement with Pete Rozelle guaranteeing a franchise in Seattle. He then died of a heart attack before the Seahawks played their first game. Kinda sad.
I also considered Kenny Easley, Mack Strong, Hasselbeck, Alexander and a 12th man but they did not make the cut.
If you asked me ten years from now I have a feeling i'd probably put Russell Wilson on there in place of Walter Jones.

The after midnight deal that stopped a national tumble off the "fiscal cliff" also included a nine-month extension of the 2008 farm bill.
Now, Collin Peterson from Minnesota's seventh congressional district and the ranking Democratic member of the US House Agricultural Committee, outlined what steps he thought necessary for proceeding with developing a new farm bill in this first year of the 113th Congress.
The after midnight deal that stopped a national tumble off the "fiscal cliff" also included a nine-month extension of the 2008 farm bill.
Now, Collin Peterson from Minnesota's seventh congressional district and the ranking Democratic member of the US House Agricultural Committee, outlined what steps he thought necessary for proceeding with developing a new farm bill in this first year of the 113th Congress.
A new five year farm bill failed to pass the 112th Congress. A bill passed out of the House and Senate Agricultural Committees and it passed the Senate with bipartisan support.
The Republican House leadership did not allow the bill to have a vote in the House of Representatives last year.
Fearing the same type of action from the Republican leadership in this session of Congress, Peterson sent a letter to Eric Cantor, the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives.
The letter states he will not even favor working on a farm bill if the Republican leadership does not commit to having the House vote on a farm bill.
Mincing no words, Peterson's letter says, "Given your long-standing opposition to farm programs and previous farm bills, it was no surprise that there were provisions in the bill that you could not support. But instead of allowing those objections to be aired in an open debate and letting the House "work its will," the Republican Leadership bottled up the Committee's farm bill and drafted alternatives in the Speaker's and Majority Leader's offices, bypassing both the Chairman and members of the Agriculture Committee and making a mockery of regular order."
The letter continues, "I heard Leadership's excuses: that the votes were not there to pass the bill. That is patently false. The Leadership team never conducted a whip count, never asking members whether they would vote for or against the Committee package. I brought together members from both parties to conduct a count, and we found enough votes to pass the bill.
"We now need to look at where we go from here. Let me outline some points as I see it:
"Given the behavior of the Republican Leadership and their treatment of the House Agriculture Committee in the previous Congress, I believe it is only fair for me to ask for a written commitment that your Leadership team will find floor time during this Congress if the Committee marks-up a new five-year farm bill. I would also expect it should not take more than a month for your team to determine the appropriate time for floor consideration and to announce that date publicly.
Given the Republican Leadership's objections to farm programs in general, I would not expect your team to bear responsibility for finding the votes to pass the Committee's farm bill; that would fall upon the Committee. I also understand and can accept that you and your Leadership team would likely want such a bill to come up under an open process, allowing for multiple amendments. I would ask that you let the House "work its will" even if you have personal objections to the outcome. The 2008 Farm Bill was one of the last bills enacted under regular order, where then-Speaker Pelosi formally appointed conferees and allowed me to open the Conference Committee process to the public. I hope you will be willing to make the same commitment.
"At this point, however, I see no reason why the House Agriculture Committee should undertake the fool's errand to craft another long-term farm bill if the Republican Leadership refuses to give any assurances that our bipartisan work will be considered. You and your Leadership team seem very content with simply extending the 2008 Farm Bill year after year without making any effort at reform, achieving savings and efficiencies, or improving the farm safety net for rural America. If that is your goal, I will certainly accommodate you."
The recently announced House Agricultural Committee includes two other Democratic members. They are Tim Walz of the second congressional district and Rick Nolan of the eighth congressional district.

Eco-friendly fashion and beauty
When it comes to leather alternatives, the fake stuff has always had a major PR problem. Remember the '70s and '80s, with its ticky-tacky "pleather"? Or worse -- Naugahyde, which always sounded like (and rather resembled) a dog chew?
Well, no longer.
Increased eco-awareness and concerns about animal cruelty are partly responsible for a growing interest in faux or "vegan" leather, suggests Amy Breyer, a Hauppauge native, now a Los Angeles animal rights attorney and executive director of the Animal History Museum. But quality has a lot to do with it, too.
In decades past, pleather makers used plastic (often PVC, the stuff of bathroom plumbing) affixed to fabric. Now more supple polyurethane and other polymers have revolutionized the industry.
"Today's faux captures the soft feel and flattering lines of traditional leather," says Breyer, who staged a "compassionate couture" runway show last October during L.A. Fashion Week. (The event, which spotlighted young, indie labels using cruelty-free materials like faux fur and leather, was both a fundraiser for the organization and an awareness-raiser for the cause.)
"The only reason to wear real fur and leather these days is to affirmatively hurt animals and the environment," she says. "Most people just don't see a need to do that."
And top brands, once slow to faux, are warming to the idea. Comme des Garçons and Altuzarra have been creating luxe vegan jackets and bags for several years -- and Stella McCartney's been at it for more than a decade.
With Earth Day just around the corner, we scanned the racks in stores and online for some eye-catching faux leather options, and more eco-friendly fashion and beauty products.
Going vegan never looked -- or felt -- this good.

Terastation NFS
(moved here from Hacking)
N.B. There is also a lot of potentially useful information in the discussion page corresponding to this article, which needs refactoring and moving here.
Kernel-mode vs. user-mode
There are two choices for NFS support: kernel-mode and user-mode. Kernel-mode has better performance than user-mode, but user-mode is potentially more stable, in that if something goes badly wrong, the damage is limited to the userspace daemons. If something goes wrong via the nfsd kernel module, the machine could easily hang.
However, see also this post by Olaf Kirch which points out a number of serious deficiencies with the user-mode approach.
Kernel-Mode NFS
OK, this link contains the kernel modules, the utilities and the startup files for kernel NFS. It's built against the 2.4.20_mvl31-ppc_linkstation kernel, so won't work on a standard Terastation.
I believe the correct stuff for Terastation is here --Neilfred 04:46, 14 January 2007 (CET)
I have just completed trying Neilfreds kernel modules on my 2.4.20_mvl31-ppc_terastation. I received the following error when issuing
depmod -a depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20_mvl31-ppc_terastation/kernel/net/sunrpc/sunrpc.o
As well as errors when trying to start the NFS daemon
# /etc/init.d/nfs-common start/lib/modules/2.4.20_mvl31-ppc_terastation/kernel/net/sunrpc/sunrpc.o: kernel-module version mismatch /lib/modules/2.4.20_mvl31-ppc_terastation/kernel/net/sunrpc/sunrpc.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.20_mvl31-ppc_linkstation while this kernel is version 2.4.20_mvl31-ppc_terastation.
Very important step post-installation! During tar extraction, the /var -> /mnt/ram/var symlink will probably get overwritten, so you need to restore it:
cp -a /var/lib /mnt/ram/var/lib mv /var /var.old ln -s /mnt/ram/var /var
Edit /etc/exports to match your setup, then reboot or run the init files by hand:
depmod -a /etc/init.d/portmap start /etc/init.d/nfs-common start /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start
Problems with NFS may arise, please see the discussion page for details.
Having just spent several days trying to get NFS working I can give a few tips. If you can write to the NFS share, but have problems reading from it (transfers stall or terastation randomly reboots) try disabling jumbo packets. If the jumbo packet size on all your machines doesn't match than UDP transfers such as NFS wreak havoc with the terastation. I now have the 2.03 firmware and user mode NFS (from debian PPC) working smoothly. An alternative solution would be to use TCP rather than UDP for NFS, but not all NFS implementations support this.
Missing rpcinfo? After installing nfsd_terastation.tgz "tar -C / -xzf nfsd_terastation.tgz" the initialization script "/etc/init.d/nfsd-kernel-server" references "rpcinfo" and fails to start rpc.mountd because rpcinfo is missing and the parameters for rpc.mountd are wrong.
Edit the nfsd-kernel-server file and set the option on line 22 to:
RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--no-nfs-version" or RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--nfs-version"
Note line 39-40. It uses RPCMOUNTDOPTS to build an options line for rpc.mountd. Simply put on line 22 RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--nfs-version" and when you start the server, it will run "rpc.mountd --nfs-version 3".
If you get a "Permission Denied" when trying to mount an export, check to see that the reverse DNS entry resolves correctly for the server trying to mount. On the terastation, update your /etc/hosts file (optional) and create a script to reset this file every time the server boots. /etc/rc.d/init.d/networking overwrites this file.
I put in "--nfs-version 3" as I only want v3 support. I am still testing this. -- Kimbotha 10:45, 26 October 2006 (CEST)
--status: Please note that I have personally had a HUGE problem with the NFS CLIENTS when using this server. There seems to be a large degree of "retransmissions" and I/O problems as a result of communicating with the nfs server. (Run "nfsstat" on the client). If there has been any updates to the server, I'd wish they would be published! Perhaps I'll just fall back to using "smbmount" Also, this server appears to have only UDP support. NFS Clients complain with "nfs over UDP causes data corruption" (ick). -- 12:00, November 24 2006 (SGT)
Same here - I get a constant stream of
Jul 1 19:24:54 atlantic kernel: nfs: server tera not responding, still trying Jul 1 19:24:54 atlantic kernel: nfs: server tera OK Jul 1 19:25:09 atlantic kernel: nfs: server tera not responding, still trying Jul 1 19:25:11 atlantic kernel: nfs: server tera OK
when I try to copy a large file. Sad to say that the user-mode server is more useful at this point :-( --Aspiers 20:26, 1 July 2007 (CEST)
User-Mode NFS
A User-mode NFS package is now available on Dave's OpenTera page. Bunshichi 10 March 2007
However this package supports NFS v2 only, and hence has the caveats standard with v2 - in particular it won't support files >2GB.
It is possible to get an NFS v3 user-mode daemon running on the Terastation, since entropy built unofficial firmware for TSP which includes unfs3:
- Download the 1.01-2 image (the others might work, I didn't try)
- Rename it to have a .zip extension
- Unzip it to a temporary directory somewhere (see here for p/w details)
- Cherry-pick the relevant files from the root filesystem image.
tar xvzf tmpimage.tgz mv ./usr/sbin/unfsd /usr/sbin/ mv ./etc/init.d/nfs-user-server /etc/init.d/ mv ./usr/sbin/portmap /usr/sbin mv ./usr/sbin/rpc.mountd /usr/sbin mv ./usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd /usr/sbin ln -s /etc/exports /etc/exports.unfsd echo "/mnt/array1 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0(rw,root_squash)" > /etc/exports /etc/init.d/nfs-user-server restart
However, see above for the caveats about user-mode NFS in general.

--note: can anyone translate japanese? This might be some pertinent information. I am also trying to get NFS working well. http://blog.livedoor.jp/nano_j/archives/50498734.html --Brent 04:23, 3 December 2006 (CET)
-- Regarding Brent's reference, the Japanese page describes how to implement NFS as a user-level driver (as opposed to kernel-level). It is, however, incomplete in its description of what to do (you have modify the init.d scripts, etc.). Still, using it as a springboard, I have gotten the user-level driver working on my TS, and I've been stress-testing it days without a hiccup. However, I've been only getting 2.2MBytes/sec writes using it (where I can get 4.2Mbytes/sec writes using the rsync daemon).
Kudo's to Brent for pointing out the link. Bunshichi 10 March 2007
Alternative to NFS
After following in the foot steps of other NFS experimenters, I tried compiling my own NFSD module with TCP support. I was using the 2.4.20 kernel which comes with the OpenTera 2.12 firmware hack.
After finally getting the toolchains and code compiled, and after a battle with symbol names (the TS uses the "versioned" symbols suffixes), the NFSD w/ TCP had horrible performance and would stall out quickly. I had to reboot it once which threw the TS into it's nightmarish 12 hour raid consistency check.
My motivation for adding NFS support was so that I could perform rdiffbackup's to back up a "live" linux machine. I didn't want to loose file attributes and permissions through SMB/CIFS shortcomings.
Another alternative, while not the highest performance, but /will/ achieve the same results is to create an EXT2/3 or XFS binary image on the TS. Mount the location containing this image via smb, then use loopback to mount the FS image file itself.
I did the following: Set up a new folder for sharing called "foo", then telnet to the TS
cd /mnt/array1/foo dd if=/dev/zero of=foo.ext2.bin bs=1M count=100000 mke2fs foo.ext2.bin
Switch to your linux "client" machine:
mount -t smbfs -o yadda,yadda //ts/foo /mnt/foo.smb mount -t ext2 -o loop=/dev/loop0 /mnt/foo.smb/foo.ext2.bin /mnt/foo
do your work on /mnt/foo. When you're done:
sync umount /mnt/foo umount /mnt/foo.smb
I ran into one small problem, however. Performing dd as 'myroot' on the TS left me with incorrect owner and permission bits. Come to find out the default coreutils don't support large files. I had to install midnight commander to do the 'chmod' and 'chown' --AxMstrLP 06:55, 11 February 2007 (CET)

Here's a Post Mortem of Stanczyk's 1940 US Census research …
Remember I had some questions that needed answering? So how did I actually do?
Will I find Rose Wlecial Gawlik's brothers living with her?
Answer: Boleslaw Wlecialowski was living with Adam & Rosa Gawlikowski family. I wonder why he was listed as a lodger (not brother/brother-in-law)? Rosa was the provider of the answers; Ergo, I would have expected her to say my brother Boleslaw. No Leon though. Is he in a VA Hospital (from WWI injuries).
Why have I had such a hard time locating her borthers (Boleslaw & Leon) in city directories?
No Answer.
Is Anthony Gawlick alive or dead?
Answer: Dead. No uncertainty now. He was alive in 1939 City Directory and now is found deceased in April 1940. Ergo, he must have died between mid-1939 and April 1940. At least the range os possibilities are small.
Is my grandmother's older half-brother Frank Leszczynski still alive in 1940 ?
No Answer. He was not located, but I now need indexes to determine if he died since 1931 Declaration of Intent.
Is Frank Leszczynski living with Michael Leszczynski in Buffalo/Depew at 257 Broadway in the 1940 Census?
No Answer.
- William Gawlik was in the US Navy in 1935. This lead to finding his BIRL data and learning his range of enlistment.
- Mary Lou Sarotte was five doors down from Adam & Rosa. I guess this was how Uncle Joe Eliasz met aunt Mary Lou.
Misplaced Ancestors
Alice Eliasz "Epperly" – not found at any previous address. Catherine Eliasz did she marry and is that why she flew the nest? Is she married to Steve Perinoff and will her last name be Perinoff? Emil Leszczynski is the reason he is not at the family home because he is away at college (Fordham, I assume)? I still need to find a few Sobieszczanskis too — again the indexes will be required to find them. Where are my wife's parents?
That is how Stanczyk has done so far. How are you doing? Puzzled over my grandmother's continued experimentation with "V" names in the US Censuses. Verna, Violet, … what was wrong with Valeria/Walerya?

Bermuda (UK)
- United Kingdom Sub-Bureau
Bermuda (UK)
The United Kingdom (UK) has 14 Overseas Territories which it has the duty to keep secure and under good governance. INTERPOL Manchester has an important role to play in helping the UK Government protect its Territories from the threats of international terrorism and organized crime.
In order to do this, the United Kingdom operates INTERPOL Sub-Bureaus in seven of its 14 Territories, each with delegated regional authority:
- Anguilla
- Bermuda
- British Virgin Islands
- Cayman Islands
- Gibraltar
- Montserrat
- Turks & Caicos.
A constitutional relationship
Each UK Territory has its own constitution, government and local laws. Territory constitutions set out the powers and responsibilities of the institutions of government, which include the appointment of a Governor, an elected legislature and ministers.
Governors are appointed by the British Monarch and have responsibility for external affairs, defence and internal security, including the oversight, through the Commissioner of Police, of the national police force.
Tackling serious crime in the Caribbean
Ensuring high levels of security in the Territories requires access to strong law enforcement tools, services and support. The UK and Territory governments work together and with INTERPOL to help prevent crime and ensure people feel safe in their homes and communities.
INTERPOL Manchester provides advice and specialist support to the Caribbean Territories to help them tackle international terrorism and organized crime, working with local law enforcement partners and INTERPOL's global police membership.
INTERPOL Manchester Sub-Bureaus
The Sub-Bureaus are the essential link between UK Territory police forces and INTERPOL's international law enforcement community. Each Sub-Bureau is part of the country's national police force and serves as the contact point for all INTERPOL investigations relating to that country or requiring international outreach from that country.
They are the designated contact point for the General Secretariat, Regional Bureaus and INTERPOL member countries requiring assistance from British Overseas Territory police forces for investigations and the location and apprehension of fugitives.

Adrien Brody & Justin Timberlake
Adrien Brody is in Rome shooting a movie. He was out the other night with girlfriend Lara Lieto and was overcome by the love. This time she managed to keep her hand out of his pants. It reminds me of when Justin Timberlake took the woman he married to Rome in 2008. And they too were photographed in a similar position. I've attached below. And Adrien sings too! Remember this?
Jesus. I just went down an Adrien Brody internet wormhole. It turns out he's incapable of making a non-douche-cheese commercial. And sometimes he sexually assaults women in them:
And...you've seen this right?

After all my griping about the hazards of remodeling I'm peppy and cheerful this week with a list of good things about my new "How Did I Ever Live Without It?" Kitchen--and let me tell you I'm getting pretty close to some good old-fashioned idolatry here. I love it.
1. My drawers work. This may seem odd but my old ones were so rank, so battered, so bereft of everything a good drawer should be that I'm ecstatic over the new ones. The tracks had come loose so many times and I'd put them back on so many times that there was nothing left of the particle board to anchor the wheels on.
2. And not only do they work but I now have Super Glide-Stop Action. You can slam these babies and still they softly come to a halt just before they close and then quietly and oh-so-silently shut. Ha! It feels so luxurious that I just stand there, closing the drawers over and over in exhilaration. You must see the video:
3. No hot chocolate stains on my cabinets. Yes I do love hot chocolate and what's a kitchen without hot chocolate drips speckling the wood work? *Sniff* I'll get over it somehow.
4. I got to pick the color myself. And I actually chose something that wasn't a neutral. I'm a color whimp but this time I wanted BOLD! DARING! DRAMA! And I got it. It's called "Sundried Tomato." Beautiful isn't it? Grace says she can smell tomatoes every time she walks in the room. (That's a good thing).
5. Sleek handle pulls. If a handle pull can be sexy, this one's it. Soft, slightly curved, just beautiful! I can't help but caress it each time I pull a drawer out. Ooooh! The thrill!
6. An unstained counter top. Once again, I'm going to miss those little guys. The black marks on my butcher block top were like my own little personal Rorshach test to keep me company while I cooked. *Sniff.* Somehow I'll get by.
7. My Star Trek chandelier. It was here when we moved in and it so didn't fit anything else in the 1970s interior. Let's see . . . rock fireplace . . . vintage cabinets . . . vinyl flooring . . . whacked out sci-fi lighting fixture. But now that the rest of my kitchen looks sleek and modern this oddball decorating detail might actually work. For now at least. It's still rather odd and can shock visitors when lit.
8. My ceiling beam. Before it was just a plain old ugly white beam blocking the view to my ugly florescent light. But now it's an "Architectural Detail" and is beautiful. Hope I didn't go too crazy with my new-found color craze.
9. A sprayer that works. Old one didn't. This one could put out a fire at twenty feet or fill a bathtub in under twenty seconds (at least I bet it could, I'll have to put it to the test). "Holy Water Pressure, Batman!"
10. There aren't mouse holes. I know every home owner wants to be kind our little rodent friends but I've closed the hotel and they can't come in.
11. New insulation. Warmer and toastier for me and my toes. In Alaska that means something.
12. My new pans, knives, mixing bowls and cutting boards. Getting a new kitchen was a good excuse to get new equipment. After 15 years of use the tools were getting a little worn but now I'm back in business.
13. My new induction cook top. Worthy of a whole post. It just doesn't get any cooler than this. Or hotter for that matter. You'll probably be hearing more about this later, I don't think I'll be able to keep quiet about it.
The south Anchorage Lowe's managed the project, with Schuler cabinets (Capistsrano natural maple) and Corian countertops (Platinum). Matt Stotts was the contractor who removed and installed the cabinetry, Alaska Countertops installed the countertops and sink. Best Plumbing hooked up the sink, dishwasher and garbage disposal and last--but by far the coolest--the induction cooktop is by Diva de Provence (model DDP40) and ordered through Allen and Petersen.
Despite a few of my facetious gripes last week (because everyone knows remodeling is a nasty business) overall I've been pleased with all of the contractors and the work that has been done and would recommend these businesses to anyone interested in their own remodel.
Only a few days left for entering May's Write-Away Contest. The topic is travel and there haven't been as many entries as in past months. This means your odds are even better of taking home some Alaskan chocolate so what are you waiting for? The deadline is May 14th.
