Click on a thumbnail to go to Google Books.
by David Wisniewski
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I would use this book for a fourth or fifth grade class because of the length and the violence. I would use it to teach folk lore, and about the Jewish Traditions. it would be a good book to use to incorporate religious diversity and cultural diversity, especially if I had a Jewish student in my class.
Fell in love with Wisniewski's illustrations in his book "Sundiata" and was happy to found out his "Golem" was awarded a Caldecott medal. Wonderful folktale about the Jewish people of Prague and the mythic creature of the golem, a giant made of clay summoned by a rabbi to defend his people. Cut paper illustrations are dynamic in composition, textures and color, with a lot of emotional content, pointing out author's theatrical background. I felt sorry for the Golem when he had to go back to lifeless clay after fulfilling his mission and savoring life.
This book has some very good pictures in it which made it interesting. I really felt like they made the story come alive as I was reading it. I do not know anything about jewish culture so I thought it was interesting and very informative.
This amazing story of the jewish folktale is both engrossing and beautiful. In the story, a rabbi calls forth a golem to protect his people from persecution in Prague. Eventually the golem feels connected to the world of men and doesn't want to leave his friends. But the rabbi must put him back to sleep after his work there is done, only to say that he will arise again if justice calls.
Czech Republic, Prague
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0395726182, Hardcover)Golem is the Hebrew word for shapeless man. According to Jewish legend, the renowned scholar and teacher Rabbi Loew used his powers to create a Golem from clay in order to protect his people from persecution in the ghettos of 16th-century Prague. (This was the time of the Blood Lie, when hostile gentiles claimed that Jews were mixing the blood of Christian children with the flour and water of matzo.) David Wisniewski's cut-paper collage illustrations--which earned him the Caldecott Medal in 1997--are the ideal medium for portraying the stark black-and-white forces of good and evil, pride and prejudice, as well as the gray area that emerges when the tormented clay giant loses control of his anger. Echoing the tension and mood of Frankenstein, Wisniewski sends the tragic giant back to the blood red earth that birthed him. The historical note on the last page offers a broader context for the legend, ultimately comparing the creation of Golem to the emergence of Israel. (Ages 8 and older) --Gail Hudson

How to Manage Streaming Endpoints in a Media Services Account
In Microsoft Azure Media Services, a Streaming Endpoint represents a streaming service that can deliver content directly to a client player application, or to a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for further distribution. Media Services also provides seamless Azure CDN integration. The outbound stream from a StreamingEndpoint service can be a live stream, or a video on demand Asset in your Media Services account.
In addition, you can control the capacity of the Streaming Endpoint service to handle growing bandwidth needs by adjusting scale units (also known as streaming units). It is recommended to allocate one or more scale units for applications in production environment. Scale units provide you with both dedicated egress capacity that can be purchased in increments of 200 Mbps and additional functionality which functionality which includes: dynamic packaging, CDN integration, and advanced configuration.
Note that you are only billed when your StreamingEndpoint is in running state.
This topic gives an overview of the main functionalities that are provided by Streaming Endpoints. The topic also shows how to use the Azure Classic Portal to manage streaming endpoints.
Adding and Deleting Streaming Endpoints
You can add or remove streaming endpoints using .NET SDK, REST API, or Azure Classic Portal.
To add\delete streaming endpoint using the Azure Classic Portal, do the following:
- In the Azure Classic Portal, click Media Services. Then, click the name of the media service.
- Select the STREAMING ENDPOINTS page.
- Click the ADD or DELETE button at the bottom of the page. Note that the default streaming endpoint cannot be deleted.
- Click the START button to start the streaming endpoint.
- Click on the name of the streaming endpoint to configure it.
By default you can have up to two streaming endpoints. If you need to request more, see Quotas and limitations.
Scale the Streaming Endpoint
Streaming units provide you with both dedicated egress capacity that can be purchased in increments of 200 Mbps and additional functionality which currently includes dynamic packaging capabilities. By default, streaming is configured in a shared-instance model for which server resources (for example, compute, egress capacity, etc.) are shared with all other users. To improve a streaming throughput, it is recommended to purchase Streaming Units.
You can scale using .NET SDK, REST API, or Azure Classic Portal.
To change the number of streaming units using the Portal, do the following:
To specify the number of streaming units, select the SCALE tab and move the reserved capacity slider.
Press the SAVE button to save your changes.
The allocation of any new streaming units takes around 20 minutes to complete.
Currently, going from any positive value of streaming units back to none, can disable on-demand streaming for up to an hour.
The highest number of units specified for the 24-hour period is used in calculating the cost. For information about pricing details, see Media Services Pricing Details.
Configuring the Streaming Endpoint
Streaming Endpoint enables you to configure the following properties when you have at least 1 scale unit:
- Access control
- Custom host names
- Cache control
- Cross site access policies
For detailed information about these properties, see StreamingEndpoint.
You can configure these properties using .NET SDK, REST API, or Azure Classic Portal.
To change the number of streaming units using the Portal, do the following:
- Select the streaming endpoint that you want to configure.
- Select the CONFIGURE tab.
A brief description of the fields follows.
Set the maximum caching period that will be specified in the cache control header of HTTP responses. This value will not override the maximum cache value that have been set explicitly on the blob content.
Specify IP addresses that would be allowed to connect to the published streaming endpoint. If no IP addresses specified, any IP address would be able to connect.
Specify configuration for Akamai signature header authentication.
You can specify a cross domain access policy for Adobe Flash clients (for more information see, Cross-domain policy file specification. As well as client access policy for Microsoft Silverlight clients (for more information, see Making a Service Available Across Domain Boundaries.aspx).
You can also configure custom host names by clicking the configure button. For more information, see the CustomHostNames property in the StreamingEndpont topic.
Enable Azure CDN integration
You can specify to enable the Azure CDN integration for a Streaming Endpoint (it is disabled by default.)
To set the Azure CDN integration to true:
The streaming endpoint must have at least one streaming (scale) unit. If later you want to set scale units to 0, you must first disable the CDN integration. By default when you create a new streaming endpoint one streaming unit is automatically set.
The streaming endpoint must be in a stopped state. Once the CDN gets enabled, you can start the streaming endpoint.
It could take up to 90 min for the Azure CDN integration to get enabled. It takes up to two hours for the changes to be active across all the CDN POPs.
CDN integration is enabled in all the Azure data centers: US West, US East, North Europe, West Europe, Japan West, Japan East, South East Asia and East Asia.
Once it is enabled, the following configurations get disabled: Custom Host Names and Access Control.
Azure Media Services integration with Azure CDN is implemented on Azure CDN from Verizon. If you wish to use Azure CDN from Akamai for Azure Media Services, you must configure the endpoint manually. For more information about Azure CDN features, see the CDN overview.
Additional considerations
- When CDN is enabled for a streaming endpoint, clients cannot request content directly from the origin. If you need the ability to test your content with or without CDN you can create another streaming endpoint that isn't CDN enabled.
- Your streaming endpoint hostname remains the same after enabling CDN. You don't need to make any changes to your media services workflow after CDN is enabled. For example, if your streaming endpoint hostname is strasbourg.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net, after enabling CDN, the exact same hostname is used.
- For new streaming endpoints, you can enable CDN simply by creating a new endpoint; for existing streaming endpoints, you will need to first stop the endpoint and then enable the CDN.
For more information see, Announcing Azure Media Services integration with Azure CDN (Content Delivery Network).

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The Alcantara surname is derived from the place name Alcantara on the Tagus river in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain. Alcantara is derived from the Arabic word "cantara" meaning "bridge" and the definite article "al." The bridge in question was built about the year 105 by the Romans, and the village was named for the bridge by the Moors. The bridge of Alcantara is still standing today, having been restored in the late 19th century.
The surname Alcantara was first found in Castile. According to scholars, the surname descends from a Castilian knight who served King Fernando II of Leon, in the first Reconquest of the village of Alcantara, in 1166. In rewarding the knight, the King also had him take the surname Alcantara and to bear the arms of this village. The village was re-taken by the Moors, and then recovered by Alonso of Leon in 1214, who then established the Order of Alcantara, a religious and military order for defense against the Moors.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Alcantara, Al Cantara, Alcántara and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Alcantara research. Another 366 words (26 lines of text) covering the years 1499, 1562, 1669, and 1698 are included under the topic Early Alcantara History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.

But, when my payment became 60 days past due just before Christmas in late 2007, my life turned to hell because of HSBC. HSBC card services would call my phone constantly. When I answered and told them I had no money and would pay off the entire balance after the end of the year, they would say, "No problem Mr. Apple, we will take you off of our call list for the next ten days. We do appreciate your business." Then, often within 5 minutes, I would get another call from a different collection agent.
Eventually, I gave in and agreed to pay $25 on each account, and formally agreed to pay the remaining balance after 'the end of the year.' I gave them my bank account information and repeatedly said, 'I can only pay $25 on each account, ok?' The lady collecting for HSBC would each time cheerfully say, 'that's fine Mr. Apple, we do appreciate your business.' Then, she confirmed my payment and quickly said, 'the remaining balance on each account will be automatically drafted on December 27th.' I then again explained that I would be paying off the accounts after 'the end of the year.' Then, she said 'so, you don't want the remaining balance automatically drafted on the 27th.' 'NO, I DO NOT!' I said. This went on during the entire month of December.
During December of 2007 I can't tell you how many calls I received from HSBC, but I know there was one day in particular that I counted and there were 23 calls in one day! I made small payments in December. Each time, the situation was nearly identical to the situation explained in the last paragraph.
Then, at the beginning of January, I sent payments for each of the two credit card accounts. The payoff balance on one of them was $569.92. I paid $575 on that account. The other 10 day payoff balance was $509.42. I sent $515 for that account. Each payment was sent in a separate envelope. Each payment was accompanied by a letter detailing the payment amount, the payoff quote, and the full account number of the account that was to be paid off. Each envelope was sent via US certified mail. I crossed all my t's and dotted all my i's because by now I did not trust HSBC! I was so relieved that I had finally paid these people off completely so that they would stop calling me.
A week or so later, I called to verify that they had received my payments. After all, they had finally stopped calling me. I was shocked to learn that both payments were applied to the same account! The HSBC Orchard bank Visa card had a negative balance of $579, while the HSBC Orchard bank MasterCard had a balance of $569.92. And, the HSBC Orchard bank MasterCard was still accruing interest! (@ 29 %!)
How could two separate checks, in two separate envelopes be applied to the same account when each payment was accompanied by a letter detailing what the payment was for? FRAUD, that's how. I don't believe HSBC is so incompetent that they can't figure out which accounts to apply payments toward. I firmly believe that HSBC intentionally applied both balances to the same account and suspect that it happens often in this situation.
When I learned that one of the accounts still had a balance, I immediately called their customer service line. I spoke with a customer care 'specialist' named Carolyn. She couldn't give me her last name or a direct phone line. But, she assured me that they would fix the problem and both accounts would have a $0.00 balance within the next 7 to 14 business days. She also gave me an 'agent ID': 'HCSGTF', and told me she worked out of their Virginia office and could be reached at (888)835-8916. That was quite some time ago, and the HSBC Visa card still has a negative balance and the HSBC MasterCard still has a balance that is over $500 still accruing interest. I have called the number that Carolyn gave me several times and each time I gave them her 'agent ID'. I have never got to speak with 'Carolyn again, and my problem has never been resolved.
At this point, I really don't know where to turn. What do you do in this situation? Call the police? Little good that would do when the perpetrator of the crime is a multi-billion dollar corporation in a different state! There's really nothing I can do except to fight to get my money back and try once more to pay off the account!
I am currently refinancing my house and will be paying off the other account with my new home loan. Despite the damage that closing the account will cause to my credit, I will be closing both accounts! This is the worst I have ever been treated by any company. I'm really shocked that this mess is still hurting my credit score. PLEASE BE VERY WEARY OF HSBC! HSBC is a very, very, very fraudulent and dishonest company!

Have you tried requesting a refund of your excess amount? If you log onto the website, there is a section where you can do that.
There is a rule I like to follow. Don't ever send an IMPORTANT payment in the mail. I know it was certified, but look what happened. People sure do make mistakes, even Orchard. I only make payments online or through my bank's bill pay system!!! I make a real small test payment to make sure I entered the account number right. When I use my bank's bill pay system, the payment is delivered at Midnight and posts to the account that day.
Hope this helps. Even if you don't have internet access at home, use the library. I've yet to run into trouble paying online. (knock on wood)

"But, when my payment became 60 days past due ..."
HSBC is known to extend credit to people with a poor credit history. I used them myself to recover from some poor judgment on my part fresh out of high school. While you may be an exception to the rule, many people who go 60 days past due never end up paying their bills and many of those people file for bankruptcy. HSBC extended credit on your behalf and you failed to live up to your end of the contract.
I have an Orchard Bank MasterCard and Visa. Both have APR's on the higher side and both have annual fees, but I have used them responsibly for the past few years, always paid my bill on-time, kept my balance under 50% of the total credit extended, etc and now I have a decent credit score and low APR cards from big named banks.
You get out of HSBC what you put in.

A sympathetic little plugin (5 star), although it could do with an update (that's why only 3 stars).
What I like:
- it only puts extra script in your pages when it needs to (when it detects the set IE versions)
- the link to browser upgrades points to a site that always has the latest versions of all major browsers
- simple, but enough custom options (message, supported IE versions)
- the message page looks tidy/modern
But beware:
- the layout of the message page looked a bit messed up compared to the screenshot, and looked different in IE 8 and 7. I'm not sure what's causing this: the theme or WP 3.9? Maybe some CSS overlapping the theme's CSS? I had to put in some extra lines in my theme's style sheet to correct this.
- Also I couldn't find the option to disable the dismiss button mentioned in the description.
But I decided to use it anyway.

Public meeting scheduled on new snapper rules
Published: Saturday, January 14, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 13, 2006 at 11:05 p.m.
BATON ROUGE -- The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council has scheduled a public meeting in Lafourche Parish to discuss a set of proposed rules for the red-snapper fishery.
Nearly everything is open to discussion, including catch sizes, quotas, bycatch-reduction devices and new seasons.
Its referred to as a "scoping process," meaning not everything discussed will be adopted.
"Its a very broad process," said Tom Wheatley, Gulf organizer for the Marine Fish Conservation Network. "Its them saying, ëHere are our ideas, what do you think about them? Theyll get to the serious meat and potatoes after the public hearings."
The network is a coalition of more than 170 environmental organizations, including commercial and recreational fishing groups, as well as aquariums and marine-science associations.
While it might be overwhelming for those interested to trudge through the list of things being considered, Wheatley said it seems more intense than it actually is.
"Theres a lot of stuff in these documents, but I dont see them dealing with all of them, or I see them voting on a lot of it and rejecting it," he said.
There will be 10 meetings held around the Gulf Coast area. Locally, there is a Jan. 26 meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Larose Regional Park Gym, 307 E. 5th St.
At the center of the debate is the red-snapper fishery, which has been a lightning-rod issue in recent years.
Recreational anglers have blamed limited catches on commercial fishermen, primarily shrimpers, who they contend are pulling up large numbers of snapper in their nets.
The practice is commonly called "bycatch," or the unintentional harvesting of marine life while fishing for something specific, such as shrimp.
No matter the theory, a variety of recent stock assessments reveal that red-snapper is being harvested in higher numbers than ever before.
Council members and conservationists say they hope the proposed amendments will affect current management practices in a way that will help achieve an appropriate level and rate of rebuilding.
Other actions also being considered could further reduce bycatch and increase profitability in the shrimp fishery, some argue.
As a governing body, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council prepares fishery-management plans designed to manage fishery resources in the Gulf.
The council puts the finishing touches on two large proposals this week, both of which will be the focus of the upcoming public meetings.
The "Joint Reef Fish Amendment 27/Shrimp 14" document deals primarily with the snapper fishery and will address the following issues, among others:
Time and area closures: Based on areas with high snapper traffic, officials might decide to close those areas off during certain times.
New sizes: The council may consider changing the current snapper size limits, which are 18 inches for commercial and 15 inches for recreational.
Gear restrictions: Officials are currently considering the number of hooks an angler should be allowed to have on a line.
The "Joint Reef Fish Amendment 28/Shrimp 15" document deals primarily with the commercial shrimp fishery and will address the following issues, among others:
Bycatch reduction criteria: A new reporting process for shrimpers to report bycatch is a possibility, and a set percentage (in this case, shrimp versus snapper) could be calculated for what shrimpers are allowed to pull in.
Permits: There is a possibility that the council will want to explore how and when shrimpers can sell or pass on their licenses. Inactive permits, or licenses that arent being used, are being discussed as well.
Net adjustments: One of the potential changes to shrimping nets could be the insertion of a cone-shaped object that allows snapper to swim in and out of nets.
All the proposed rules are still in the conceptual stages, which is why public input is held in such high regard during this step.
"Its the best way to have your ideas considered up front," said Rick Leard, the councils deputy director.
You can obtain copies of the documents by calling the council at (813) 348-1630, or by e-mailing email@example.com.
Written comments will also be accepted and should be received on or before March 6.

'Spike Heels' a pointed riff on 'Pygmalion'
Late in the first act of Theresa Rebeck's "Spike Heels" - now being staged by Smithereen Productions, under Rebecca Segal's direction - two men in a Boston apartment are vehemently arguing about whether one of them should be dating the woman living upstairs. Both men are oblivious to the woman herself, who is standing in the hall, knocking and waiting to be let in.
That vignette tells you a lot about what's going on in this play, in which the guys' ostensible focus on women is always really more about themselves - and their fractious relationship with each other. »Read Full Article

Could the sun be setting on utility air conditioning savings programs?
We Energies customers in Milwaukee currently receive up to a $50 annual credit for giving the electric utility permission to cycle their air conditioner on and off on hot summer days.
The Energy Partners program, which is similar to those offered by several other utilities, is intended to help manage electricity loads at times when the system is straining to keep up with demand.
The interruptions are small enough, usually 15 or 20 minutes, that most customers won't even notice when it kicks in, -- which, in recent years, has been almost never.
Recession a factor
Since 2006, We Energies has only activated the system once, for 30 minutes on August 1, 2007. Prior to that, it was used four times in 2005, each time for less than an hour.
The usage has been so small in the last decade that the company is now proposing to get rid of the program, saying that it is no longer cost-effective.
We Energies spokesman Brian Manthey said the program saw frequent use in the 1990s and early 2000s, but since then it's rarely been used because its systems have more built-in reserves due to the recession and investments in generation and transmission.
It's been a similar story for Xcel Energy in Minnesota.
"With the relatively mild weather that we've had and the downturn in the economy, loads have come down a little bit, so we don't see quite the pressure on our system from say a few years ago," says Patrik Ronnings, who manages Xcel's Savers Switch program.
Xcel offers customers a 15 percent discount on their summertime electric bills in exchange for participating in the program.
It's only activated the switch two days in the last four summers, though. In 2007, the program was used 11 days, which is more along the lines of its historical, pre-recession average.
Air conditioners using less power
Ronnings expects the program's use will pick up again as the economy recovers, but there's also a chance that improved efficiency could make Savers Switch less cost-effective.
The program's costs include the discount to customers as well as the cost of equipment and installation at each residence. Those costs are fixed, but the benefit gets smaller as air conditioners become more efficient.
Twenty years ago, it would have taken a 4-kilowatt air conditioner to cool an average house on a hot day, Ronnings said. A state-of-the-art unit today can do the same job for around 2 kilowatts.
"The equipment costs the same, but if the load relief that you're getting is half of what it used to be because air conditioners are now twice as efficient, it might be challenging to justify such a program," Ronnings said.
Results may vary
Other utilities, meanwhile, are introducing or expanding their air-conditioner cycling programs, and activating them more often.
FirstEnergy introduced its Easy Cool Rewards program in Ohio this year but has not yet activated the system.
Otter Tail Power, which has customers in western Minnesota and the Dakotas, is getting ready to expand its five-year-old CoolSavings air-conditioning control program, which it activates about four to six times per year. The utility has historically seen electricity demand peak in the winter because of a high percentage of customers with electric heat, but its summertime loads are growing and catching up with its winter peaks.
And in Iowa, MidAmerican Energy has relied increasingly on its Summer Saver program to help manage its surging summertime electricity peaks, which have broken records each of the past two summers. Its air-conditioning controls were in use last week for the second time this season. Last summer, it was used 11 days.
"We're continuing to see increase energy use from our customers," said Ann Thelen, a spokeswoman for MidAmerican.

Thank you Galin!
So, if orcs are elves then they have to have a lot of the the qualities the elves have, like reincarnation and immortality, but since they don't they can't be elves. Orcs being minor mair is starting to make a lot more sense to me now. But, if they are mair then they are immortal right? I can't find any mention of really old orcs, but they would probably die young anyway. But if they are mair, why didn't Morgoth use them until after his return to middle-earth?

And what if you really offended this gang or that gang's top drug dealer? (They're a pretty sensitive bunch, so it isn't outside the realm of possibility.) It's likely his brother, who is now out of prison, knows your name, your address, and where your kids go to school.

The seller will only refund my money if I pay to ship it back to them in Florida at a cost of $20 +/-. This means I'm out $20 and still don't have a comforter. And they profit from their shipping and handling fees on an item that's not worth returning - so they can sell it AGAIN!
I filed a complaint through eBay's resolution Center but could get any satisfaction. Power Seller kbmill2 sells so many items (many baby items) that their rating is over 99% and the 30+ people who leave a negative review every month are buried under the positive "Oh so cute baby clothes" reviews.
Since eBay makes lots of $ (over 2000,000 transactions) and has no motivation to stop this blatant fraud. And Beyond Bedding goes on its merry way selling to the next person who believes their advertising lies.

When creating a child theme, something is seriously wrong with the footer.
JS function arranges footer widgets vertically. Calling this is actually causing my footer in child theme to not float properly.
It does not allow the four evenly spaced widgets in the child theme's footer. You'll see that when you go to add the fourth widget, it'll go underneath the other three and look way off.
I've added no custom css or modified the child theme in any way, just a blank child theme of twentythirteen. So something is off in the JS somewhere
Could someone please take a peek at that? :) I love this new theme, it's by far the best WP default theme ever!

GERMANY/US: Siri will talk to Mercedes drivers (but only via a 4S)
By Graeme Roberts | 10 January 2013
- Siri only on iPhone 4S supported in Mercedes vehicles from spring 2013
- Updated Digital DriveStyle app hardware and software also available from spring
Daimler's Mercedes-Benz has launched integration of Siri, Apple's 'intelligent assistant' that allows users voice access to apps, into the new E-Class but only for drivers using the iPhone 4S and not the recently released iPhone 5.
To use Siri while driving, owners connect an iPhone 4S using the 'Drive Kit Plus' option. Once connected, phone content is accessible via the vehicle's display screen using the new in-house developed app.
Drive Kit Plus hardware and software will be available from spring 2013, Mercedes said as it launched the new technology at a consumer electronics show in Las Vegas.
A future version will support Apple's Siri Eyes Free mode.

UNEMPLOYMENT: The Theme Park
Published: January 28, 1996
(Page 2 of 2)
FOR NEARLY A DECADE, THE SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HERITAGE Preservation Commission has been struggling with that question. Since 1988, this agency, administered through the Department of the Interior, has spent some $30 million in Federal money and at least that much in state, local and private funds. (Johnstown itself has been designated by the state as a "fiscally distressed community"; area businesses have contributed $1.5 million in the last eight years.) The agency has compiled hundreds of pages of marketing studies and oral histories, produced scores of handsome publications and exhaustively surveyed, among other things, coal tipples, slag heaps and railroad yards for their historical significance and potential for attracting tourists. They created the Path of Progress, which, incorporating such longstanding institutions as the pair of popular Johnstown flood museums, attracted 580,000 visitors in 1994, contributing "a direct total economic impact" of $40 million to the region. Johnstown alone entertains about 225,000 heritage visitors annually. (In 1957, at the height of Johnstown's industrial boom, the area supported more than 40,000 full-time jobs in steel making and coal mining; today, those same industries employ about 4,000.)
But the transformation once promised Johnstown has yet to materialize. In 1990, when annual Federal financing for the project crested at $16 million, great plans were afoot to convert Bethlehem Steel's historic rolling mill into a major national park. Radiating from the downtown hub would be bike paths, ethnic restaurants, brew pubs and restored company houses. In the early 90's, however, in light of a drastically altered political atmosphere and the prohibitive cost of the project, the national park dream was deferred; and the aggressive, labor-oriented stance of the project was significantly moderated, leaving the project stripped of its clear, if controversial, marketing niche.
Consequently, the reconstituted Johnstown emerges as neither a blue-collar Valhalla nor a Sturbridge Village-style theme park. In the same week last June that the Open-Hearth Project graduated its first class of guides, the Allegheny Traveler, a 30-foot-high inflatable mascot, made his bumptious debut at Point Stadium in downtown Johnstown -- before 1,000 empty seats and a knot of bemused reporters.
TO TEACH TOURISTS ABOUT COAL MINING, OPEN-HEARTH USES a small, family-owned operation called the Seldom Seen Mine. Most mining companies, because of insurance matters and other considerations, generally don't allow tours. Indeed, seams of high-grade coal still abound inside these hogback hills; only within the last few years, as the price of coal has dropped to $30 a ton, have they grown unprofitable to mine. When the price comes back up to $45 -- around 2015, by most projections -- the miners will be called back underground.
On the afternoon of my tour, the rain is still drumming and a spark plug has gone out in the locomotive that will pull our train a half mile underneath the mountain. The delay gives Danny Pfeilstucker, our guide, more time to recall his belated, harrowing trade.
One of a coal miner's 10 children, Pfeilstucker was born 47 years ago in Portage, a coal town of 3,000 near Johnstown. His father suffered from black lung disease and died of a heart attack at 59. In 1972, after two tours of duty in Vietnam, Danny started following his father's trade, and would not be all that surprised if he, too, ends up with black lung disease. "Seventeen years underground, chances are I've got it, too," says Pfeilstucker, a big, voluble man with a sandy mustache. "Most all the miners my age or older have got it.
"I have one old buddy, he remembers everything that happened to him in the mines," Pfeilstucker continues, "and he needs to talk to somebody about it." While Open-Hearth might give former workers like Pfeilstucker's friend a welcome forum, none of them expect to make a fraction of the wages they earned in the mines or in the mills. Most of the participants in Open-Hearth -- especially the miners, who failed to negotiate solid retirement benefits -- have to make do with various part-time jobs.
Another few minutes go by, and our train still sits motionless, waiting for the spark plug. Suddenly Pfeilstucker bolts from his car and begins striding up and down the platform. "Understand, if this is a real shift, right now you'd be getting your butt chewed!" he shouts. "Some boss'd be moving along here screaming: 'Get this car moving! You're getting paid portal-to-portal, and if this train's down, then the company's not making any money!' "
Our group duly ruffled and edified, Pfeilstucker returns to his seat. "I knew something felt wrong around here," he chuckles. "It was way too quiet." He stares out at the rain and adds, "Of course, a real boss, his language would've been a shade more colorful."
Finally, the engine coughs to life, and with a screech of old steel our tour lurches toward the coal face waiting in the black heart of the green Allegheny Mountains. Huddled in the forward cars of the train, the tourists peer into the darkness with equal parts apprehension and eagerness. At the rear, Pfeilstucker punches his hard hat down around his ears, ready to go to work.
