Pärk, Björk, the Györgys (Ligeti and Kurtág), and a few other diaeresis-enhanced names.

actually, all of these are umlauts, not diaeresis. though they _are_ all diacritics.

i suppose your weblog dept. lacks proofreaders?

Thanks for the correction. Our "weblog dept." prefers open-source proofreading.

As an Orcas Island native I can tell you that Doe Bay is nothing fancy. Think dirty-hippie-naked-jacuzzi. (Good on ya' if that floats your boat.) Also, it is a good 20 minutes from Eastsound (town). I've heard that the restaurant has gotten better, but the quesedilla I had there a few years back is still haunting me... I had never eaten something so simple that tasted so bad.

Um, guys... If you put up a auction to eBay and the only information in the item description is:::

An iPod programmed by the New Yorker music critic.
More details.

And "More details" is a link pointing back to the Stranger, the target page should have some information about the item being offered for sale.

Well, I'll always have fond memories of camping on the beach at Doe Bay. The hot tub was at the top of the trail and, periodically, stark naked men would run down and jump into the water. The day before I left, I wrote on a log on the beach, "Beware -- overheated naked men."

Good times.
