Sixteen projects in Monroe County will receive a piece of a $6.1 million gaming revenue pie.
Sixteen projects in Monroe County will receive a piece of a $6.1 million gaming revenue pie.
The biggest awards — two for $600,000 each — will help Vigon International complete more than a mile of a natural gas line extension to its Smithfield Township plant, and help Chestnuthill Township create the infrastructure needed for a new urgent care facility in Brodheadsville.
Officials at Vigon, the fragrance maker, said extending the line from Route 209 will reduce the company's energy costs at the manufacturing and distribution facilities on Airport Road East.
The Monroe County Industrial Development Agency, which handled the grant application for the line extension project and 13 other requests, said the total project cost is $646,235.
Bill Blake, Vigon's vice president of sales and strategy, said the company started talking about the project last summer.
He said if the project happens, it could make Vigon more competitive for project bids, which would free up money to hire more staff.
"That's a win for everyone," Blake said.
The Chestnuthill Township project will help pay for reconstruction of Lake Mineola Road and the construction of a new road about 350 feet long to provide access to the proposed West End Medical Home.
Pocono Medical Center plans to build and operate the first medical home and urgent care facility in the West End. It expects the project to create 20 new jobs.
Hospital officials declined to reveal what the construction costs are and when the facility is expected to open.
Coolbaugh Township will receive $511,699 to add a left-hand turn lane from Route 196 to the main gate at A Pocono Country Place. The turn lane is expected to "ease congestion and reduce accidents" in the area, according to a project description from the state.
Actually, the biggest award this year goes to Northampton Community College to expand its Monroe County campus in Tannersville. According to state figures, the project receives $2.2 million this year.
Pocono Township was the only Monroe County municipality to receive approval on two grant requests. It will receive $130,000 to make necessary repair work on Stadden Road Bridge off Route 611 and another $95,069 to buy three new police vehicles to replace ones with mileage between 87,000 and 141,000.
The Local Share Account was established as a community development program to help areas close to casinos.
One percent of the yearly gaming revenue at Mount Airy Casino Resort is dedicated to the program. Half of that amount goes to Monroe County projects, the other half is siphoned to projects in five continuous counties.
The contiguous counties received funding for 28 projects totaling $6.1 million. That includes $295,000 to Pike County for renovation costs at the county courthouse. The renovation will include a second courtroom, additional holding cells and upgrades to the sheriff's office.

I've noticed something recently: in the past, when a star player became available, he could command an outrageous contract as someone was always willing to overpay for him. Now, star after star are finding out there's no market for them. They can't command the salary they think they're worth. The reason for this change, it seems to me, is that rookie salaries are no longer outrageous. I always understood how vets felt about rookies getting paid big bucks when they hadn't done a thing. But now, when a vet who's proven himself comes along, teams find it harder to justify paying a big salary to them when they can take a chance on a rookie for a pittance. The new trend is to build with youth. cheap labor. Since a huge cheap labor pool now exists in the NFL where before it did not, players are finding it harder to get paid large salaries. The only guys who end up getting big paydays are either guys being retained by their team because they're crucial, or guys who fill a crucial niche at a time when there are lots of teams in need and few truly good options.
I think, in short, that capping rookie salaries is going to lower vet salaries overall in the long run.

A cover version is the ultimate sign of affection.
Taking someone else's song, twisting it to fit your own style, your own approach. It's a direct nod towards an artist's influence, a way of stating someone else's importance within the pantheon of musical heroes you draw inspiration from.
So Jessie Ware should feel rightly flattered by Wild Cub's latest gesture. A duo formed by Keegan DeWitt and Jeremy Bullock, their addiction to perfect pop has witnessed impressive performances at SXSW, CMJ and more.
Completing work on their debut album, Wild Cub are set to release 'Youth' early next year via Big Light Recordings. By way of a preview, the pair have decided to cover a track which has got under their skin - Jessie Ware's 'Running'.
A rightfully faithful rendition, Wild Cub's interpretation of Jessie Ware is respectful to the original while adding their own slant on the song.
See what you make of it below.

How'd Ya Like to Make a Buck?

it's funny how our sense of money is so skewed when we're kids.
so did you take the crockery door to door? did you make the big bucks?
- April 26, 2012 at 7:08 AM
- Pearl said...
I did! I did take it door to door, and the bikers down the street had great need for it. But that's tomorrow. :-)

You were very smart for ten. I can empathize with your dad in searching for the right name. After teaching literally thousands of students, some the children, nieces, nephews and siblings of former students, I just resort now to Darlin' or Sweetheart. It saves a whole lot of time if the name is not on the tip of my tongue.
- April 26, 2012 at 7:13 AM
- Pearl said...
Shelly, took me a while to figure that out about the Southern states. :-) When they don't know your name, they call you "darlin'". :-)
I'm on to you guys!!

Well, your story is priceless!
I used to look for dropped change in mall car-parks and get excited when I was wee. Then again, I also used to get excited about beer bottle caps. Hmmm.
- April 26, 2012 at 7:22 AM

CarrieBoo, I STILL get excited when I find change. Bottle caps, not so much. But I'm not here to judge you. :-)

We made or drink money picking up drink bottles on the side of the road and turning them in for the deposit.
I tend to call folks "Hun". Well the female ones anyway.

I'm a wreck with names, but I've discovered that everyone likes being called either Beautiful or Handsome. Everyone. Sometimes I try calling myself that in the mirror...not the same.
I pay my kids 5 cents for each fly the kill in the house during the summer. I kinda stopped demanding proof though. Little napkins, "Lookie mama..." soon lost its glam. They sure do smash 'em when that ice-cream truck is heard a few streets away...

It would appear all things are negotiable. So Pearl how much would it...
- April 26, 2012 at 8:03 AM

Ms. Sparrow, I was conscripted at an early age.
Simply, we don't have that up here, and we really should: you could get as drunk as the bottles you found. Incentive!
Chantel, I can only imagine the flurry of activity when the ice cream truck is in earshot!

*just-in-case shields self while raising a first o' the morning cup of joe high in a toast to Pearlie* Here's to the oh-so-delightful chapters of Miss Pearlgirl's life! May they always entertain, and God bless 'em. Her, too!
And why is it, when you use/write the would "mould," I can actually smell it?
My Knuckle Matt (<--who I grew up with him and his wifey and my Aunt Mert) was behind my most memorable "Wanna Make a Buck?" moment. By age four, Myrtle had already taught me how to operate (Perfecting the sewing part would have to come later.) her electric Singer. One day, when I ho-humming around the house because of something or another I had my heart set on "at the Schultz Bros." aka "The Dime Store," (<--an establishment that, at the time, I was certain had been erected just for me) but couldn't come up with the loot for or even a funder, for that matter, my uncle suggested I make some socks on the sewing machine to sell. I spent the whole of that rainy morning putting two pieces of any number of patterned, cotton pieces together from out of the Rag Box and deeper, then under the needle, where I turned out a zillion-billion stocking-sock shapes that I would scissor-trim to a four year-old's exactness. I displayed my wares up top a favourite pill box purse of mine, afterwhich Knuckle Matt bought the whole works--except the pocketbag, now filled with enough $$$ to buy the something or another I had my heart set on at the Schultz Bros.--and we headed to The Dime Store! I love you, Knuckle Matt, and I miss you dearly ❤.
Thank-you for this trip down Memory Lane, Pearl. You're THIS!

Washing dish outside, now that's a little different. I like that "...good 75% of him is frequently seen lurking..." description.
Wow just think what e-bay would bring for those classics. Did you keep any?

I could use some plates, Pearl. Be watchin for yah!
Did you make a fortune?
- April 26, 2012 at 8:18 AM
- SparkleFarkle said...
MAJOR CLARIFICATION: Aunt Mert was Knuckle Matt's only wife. The way I wrote it (see above SparkleFarkle comment), I made it sound like maybe my uncle was some sort of "rounder"-type guy who could have starred in a late 1950s version of Play 'Polyga'Misty for Me. Not the case 't all. Everything was truly on the up and up in our pretty much staunch Roman Catholic-y lives. Thanks! I'll go now. Bye.
- April 26, 2012 at 8:23 AM
- Pearl said...
Sparkle, I just love when you get going. :-) Never had a Knuckle, but I did have a Drunkle. :-)
Bill, nah. They were truckstop dishes, circa 50s-60s. I'm sure they'd be interesting to see now (and they were SOOOOO heavy) but they didn't strike me as anything but moldy at the time...
Daisy, I made a fortune and learned some things. Things I hope to write about and post for tomorrow. :-)
- April 26, 2012 at 8:28 AM

Oh Pearl you make me happy every time I read your blog. My Dad used to start at the first name and work down every time. I was lucky I was the top dog.
I remember big dream schemes myself some worked some didn't. I love you writing.
The line "Have I got a deal for you" rings true with my memories of childhood also. :) B

So, you got paid for cleaning the dishes up, but did you also get the proceeds from door-to-door sales? or a percentage?
Nice of your dad to haggle your wages in the "up" direction :) You were a good worker, I think.

Still here but overwhelmed with "stuff." but I do love my daily dose of Pearl.
Can you imagine modern helicopter parents allowing their children such adventure and enterprise? Horrors. It was good to be ten and not be smothered by paranoid parents.
- April 26, 2012 at 12:20 PM
- Pearl said...
jenny-o, I've decided to tell the whole story, which is weird, because this started out specifically to be about how my dad couldn't remember our names (or ages)... Part II will come tomorrow, and I'm afraid Part III will be right after it!
Boy are you guys in trouble...
Leenie, my life (and the lives of the kids around me) was nothing like some of the children I know now. I can't see them going door-to-door. Nothing bad ever happened, although I suppose it could've, but I did learn to handle myself, and that's worth something...

My house to house was limited to my girlfried Patty and me going door to door dragging an old push lawn mower and asking if we could mow lawns. We were so charmingly pathetic (in retrospect) and we learned how to eyebally a yard and quote!

That reminds me, tomorrow is the first garage sale of the season. I always hope to find a hidden treasure, but only seem to find one or two a year. I hope I don't lose too much by the end of the season.

I have the same problem with the names in this house as your dad. The problem with that? There's only two other folks in this house!
Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane. While our father didn't have the ingenuity that yours did - we were resourceful rug rats. We sold rocks to the old guy down the street!

I'll bet you made a killing!
- April 26, 2012 at 3:53 PM

Joanne, if two little girls came to my door offering to mow, I'd be all over that! Too cute.
Jono, I LOVE garage saling. :-) I found an unopened original Husker Du pressing once!
Gigi, selling rocks is right up there with selling people hub caps that have flipped off around corners...
Eva, we'll have to wait and see. :-) Come back tomorrow (and the next day...)

I can SO sympathize with your dad working his way around to the right name. I have six kids, 12 grandchildren, three dogs, three birds and several assorted friends and relatives. It takes me hours to get to the right name . . .

- HermanTurnip said...
When I was a kid I used to roam around the neighborhood with a bucket, sponge, towel, and soap. I'd ring doorbells and say, "I'll wash your car for a dollar." I knew that this would make me look desperate, I'd get more marks to take the bait, and they'd always pay me more than a dollar.
I was such a schemer as a kid....
- April 26, 2012 at 7:21 PM
- Amy said...
My Dad never seems to get my name right. Unless he is calling me by my nickname, he usually starts with my Mom's name, sometimes he throws in my aunt, then finally me. Rarely does he use my sister's names. Maybe that's the benefit of being the oldest daughter.
- April 26, 2012 at 8:39 PM
- Dr. Kathy McCoy said...
Love your childhood stories, Pearl, and can hardly wait for the continuation of this tale! Your description of your Dad sneaking up on your name via your mother's and his sister's reminds me of my mother calling a combination of my name and my sister's name in a way that always sounded like a sneeze: "Ka-Trish!"
- April 26, 2012 at 9:57 PM
- savannah said...
i'm laughing here because my kids got used to being called "little boy" and if the wrong one came they'd hear, "no, not you, the other one" of course i never did that, it was their grandparents! (that's my story and i'm stickin to it, sugar!) xoxoxoxo

Just for a change, I read the other comments first and now I'm really curious about the bikers down the street. I'll be here tomorrow for the story and the day after.

He drove a hard bargain. You said 4 and he countered with 4.50. We did something very similar to this (selling door to door) with a few boxes of crocheted stuff that got thrown in the trash when one of our neighbors died.

This was the cutest post I've ever read. I could clearly picture a pint-sized you working hard for less than five dollars.
Whenever my father asked if I wanted to earn cash, I always knew to immediately say yes. He paid well. Too well. In the end, I could never take the money.

That Crackly Sound12.18.2009 | HMMH |
by Doug Barrett
Four more days to go until the longest night of the year and it's starting to get cold here in New England! Last night's low was around 14 degrees F. in Boston, and last weekend, up in New Hampshire, it was colder still. My fabulous spouse and I live about five miles from Boston's Logan International Airport, and depending on which way the wind is blowing, sometimes we are treated to a steady stream of departing aircraft. The other day, after a particularly cold morning, she asked why the aircraft sound different in cold weather – both louder and "crackly" as she put it.
The short answer is that it's complicated. As for the long answer, I suspect that she's noticing the dependence of atmospheric absorption of sound on temperature and relative humidity. Leo Beranek said it better than I could: "energy is extracted from a sound wave by rotational and vibration relaxation of the oxygen molecules in the air. The vapor content of the air determines the time constant of the vibration relaxation… In addition, this 'molecular absorption' depends in a major way on temperature." (Leo L. Beranek, Noise and Vibration Control, McGraw Hill, 1971, P.170)
It's especially interesting that at any particular relative humidity, molecular absorption peaks at a given temperature. In other words, one can't simply make a generalization that sound "travels" better when it's cold outside. Adding to the complexity, the effects of temperature and humidity vary dramatically depending upon the frequency of the sound. In general, wider variations exist at higher frequencies. Notice on the first figure below (reproduced from Beranek) that there is relatively little sensitivity to temperature or humidity at 500 Hz – only about 3 dB per 1,000 feet across a temperature range of 100 degrees F. In contrast, at 8 kHZ, the second figure shows a whopping variation of up to 50 dB per 1,000 feet over the same temperature range.
Regarding the "crackly" sound, here are some molecular absorption values that I pulled from the figures: At 500 Hz to 1 kHZ (approximately speech frequencies), one expects molecular absorption at a rate of about 1 to 2 dB per 1,000 feet of propagation on either a pleasant summer morning (60 degrees F. and 50% RH) or on a nippy winter morning (10 degrees F. and 20% RH). That is to say, at lower to mid-range frequencies, there's not a big seasonal difference. At 8 kHZ, however, one expects absorption at a rate of about 20 dB per 1,000 feet with the summer conditions, but only about 6 dB per 1,000 feet with the winter conditions. Less high-frequency absorption with cold, dry weather equals more "crackly" sounding!

The Penguins' captain only took one hit in the first period, and it was a mere push after he took a shot coming across the slot. In fact, the biggest hit Jagr took all night came from his own teammate. Mario Lemieux collided hard with Jagr at center ice on a crossing pattern late in the second period.'

greatest adventure
Another layout that was published in Scrapbooking and Beyond magazine, this one in the Spring 2012 issue. Using the Technique Tuesday stamp set, Loving Words, by Ali Edwards, this layout came together very quickly! To make the title, I stamped the sentiment, "you are my greatest joy" and masked off the word joy. I used letter stickers to spell out adventure. The idea came from a quote that has been pinned to my corkboard forever! The patterned papers are from October Afternoon (Rocket Age). They screamed six year old boy and I am hoarding them! :)
thanks for stopping by!
Gratitude: On Tuesday and Thursday I get to volunteer in my son's classroom at school. I love that I get to be a part of his day, but more importantly, I get to use my teaching skills, something that I am still very passionate about! There is nothing quite like watching a student understand a new concept, or read a challenging word, or get an answer correct when they worked hard! I am grateful for the school for allowing me to be there and to help out!!!!

Cute layout. He has such a great smile. What fun that you get to volunteer at his school. Kids are such fun at that age. Today I'm grateful for the young lady that I call my adopted granddaughter. I remember how cute she was at six years old and am grateful for the beautiful person she has become.

It may be a bizarre teaser for a film or some creative agencies latest viral vid. It's made by Zellner Bros but I'm not really sure who they are. In any case it's totally bizarre so I thought I'd share. If anyone has any info on what this is all about please do share. I'm officially intrigued. Enjoy!

KDE 4.0.5 Available
The KDE Community has today made available the fifth update to KDE 4.0. Although the changelog is not particularly long, the release should be worthwhile to upgrade to. KWin (according to some pronounced "quinn" instead of Kay-Win) has gotten some clipping fixes, also some dim and fade effects work on cards that can only do compositing via XRender. Juk, the lightweight music player has received some fixes regarding keyboard shortcuts, playback and cover art. Kopete, the instant messenger in 4.0.5 has some crashes fixed. The changelog has the details (although probably not all bugfixes have been recorded here). Overall, we expect to make the users' experience with this release a bit nicer.
Are there any particular aspects that might be nicer in 4.0.5 than 4.1 beta 1? Anything particularly more stable for instance?

Re: advantages
i don't really think so, i have kde4.0.81 and it is damn stable and fast desktop
By mimoune djouallah at Sat, 2008/06/07 - 5:00am
Re: advantages
If only I could say the same. It's hard to say what's broken versus what's not implemented. It's unusable as a desktop. Some individual apps are working well, but others are not. I'm sorely disappointed in this "beta1".
By David Johnson at Sun, 2008/06/08 - 5:00am
Re: advantages
so, you are disappointed because the beta-version is not 100% stable? I think you need to remind yourself what "beta" means...
By Janne at Sun, 2008/06/08 - 5:00am
Re: advantages
There was a time not long ago, when "beta" meant that the software was almost ready. It still had some bugs, but it was usable and fairly stable. There were some bugs but they were documented.
By David Johnson at Mon, 2008/06/09 - 5:00am
Re: advantages
In some cases maybe, but it's pretty dumb to think that all beta-software is "almost ready". "Beta" means that the software is not ready. Why is it not ready? Because it has bugs. If it didn't have bugs, it would be called "Release Candidate" or it would be the final version.
By Janne at Wed, 2008/06/11 - 5:00am
Re: advantages
For me, as a simple-minded KOffice developer, alpha means "all features are present in one form or another, but they still need a lot of work to get them working". Beta means "all code to make the features we want to release work is present, but probably buggy, please help us find the bugs". Release candidate means "it works pretty well for me on my box, but I would like to know whether it works for other peoples on their systems, too."

Re: advantages
In the 4.1 branch Plasma underwent some major changes so Plasma might be more stable in 4.0.5. For the most part KDE 4.0.X works on my system but 4.0.80 has a major problem. The desktop shows up on the upper 2/3 of the screen so 1/3 of the screen on the bottom isn't used. I think the problem might have something to do with the fact that I have dual-head graphics. When I checked the display configuration both heads were reported as being connected even though I'm only using the first head (VGA). The first head was set to the correct size for my monitor (1680x1050) but the second head (DVI-D) was set for a smaller size (1280x800). Maybe it's sizing my desktop's y size appropriate for the second head but should be sizing it for the first head. KDE 4.0.X only detected the first head (VGA) and sized the screen properly.
More precisely it appears that:

Re: advantages
Weird, because we've seen that bug in 4.0.x too in Fedora (I had it happen personally on my laptop, I ended up disabling the external video completely in xorg.conf to work around it).
By Kevin Kofler at Sun, 2008/06/08 - 5:00am
Re: advantages
To be honest I haven't tried all the versions of 4.0.x only the earlier versions. Maybe the problem first showed up in a later version of 4.0.x. I'm using AMD G690 on-board graphics and don't have a graphics card. Maybe I can somehow disable the second head in xorg.conf.

Sorry that's AMD 690G on-board graphics not AMD G690 on-board graphics

Dust Bowl "Reaping The Whirlwind" For nearly a decade, the storms grow more ferocious and more frequent, sweeping up millions of tons of earth, killing crops and livestock, even spreading the dust across the country. Thousands flee, forced onto the road in an exodus unlike anything the United States had seen. But other thousands persevere against enormous odds. Families find ways to survive and hold onto their land. National and local government programs keep hungry families afloat, and a partnership between government agencies and farmers develop new farming and conservation methods. Part 2 of 2G

Nature "My Life As A Turkey" This prize-winning film re-enacts the unusual story of Joe Hutto, who for nearly two years became the mother of a group of Florida wild turkeys he imprinted as hatchlings at his home adjacent to Florida wildlands. Taken from Hutto's 1995 book, Illuminations in the Flatlands, which was written from his daily notations, the film is set in the same wildlands. Hutto is portrayed by wildlife photographer Jeff Palmer.G

Dust Bowl "The Great Plow Up" This film by Ken Burns chronicles the environmental catastrophe of the Great Plains during the 1930s. The frenzied wheat boom of the early 20th-century that plows the prairie lands becomes the victim of a decade-long drought that turns those lands into deserts and unleashes a pattern of massive, deadly dust storms. Twenty-six survivors of those hard times telling their stories and the eloquently written diaries of two women provide a narrative. Part 1 of 2G

The list of people who lose under the Dion Carbon Tax continues to grow:
Truckers, farmers, fishermen, seniors on fixed incomes, families who use natural gas, families who use home heating oil, commuters, taxi drivers, people who shop for groceries, electricity users, business travelers, people who fly in airplanes, manufacturing workers, resource workers, people who live in rural Canada, people who live in the suburbs, and families with children could all expect to pay more under the Dion Carbon Tax.
I didn't realize "people who shop for groceries" were a subset of our society? Doesn't this imply some amongst us don't eat? Who writes this crap? The list grows, what next, "people who walk erect", "ethnic groups in the 905", "soft nationalists in Bloc held ridings", "children who take baths".

Pierre Woman Pleads Not Guilty to Girl Scout Thefts
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - A Pierre woman accused of stealing more than $38,000 from area Girl Scout troops has pleaded not guilty.
KCCR radio reports that a trial date was not immediately set for 46-year-old Bonnie Gallagher. She faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
Authorities allege Gallagher took the money between October 2007 and this past August. She was indicted in September on a grand theft charge and entered her plea Tuesday.

"Cabaret," the title number from Liza Minnelli's greatest screen musical, is a fight song as much as a showstopper. Midway through its celebration of a carefree life, the lyrics describe a girlfriend of the narrator who died of "too much pills and liquor," but who looked content laid out in her coffin. "I made my mind up back in Chelsea," the narrator resolves at the end of the bridge, "when I go, I'm going like Elsie."
It's a defiant tune, and sometimes it shows up in settings that render its message of against-the-odds cheer even more poignant. Consider the end of the movie "Cabaret": After Minnelli finishes singing the song in a German nightclub circa 1932, the camera pans around to see the audience dotted with Nazis. Life, the shot chillingly indicates, may not be a cabaret much longer.
No brownshirts crowded the Segerstrom Center for the Arts when Minnelli sang "Cabaret" there Thursday night, but she found herself up against an oppressor of a different kind. The singer, who shared the bill with the Orange County gay men's chorus MenAlive, wasn't in prime condition to perform, as she admitted more than once during the show. The 66-year-old Minnelli sounded out of breath at times and told the audience she had a cold, which manifested itself in occasional coughing fits and glasses of water.
When Minnelli got to the line in "Cabaret" about the pills and liquor, she even appeared to make reference to her own hard-lived past, as the song stopped completely for an instant and Minnelli froze with a sheepish look on her face. But in face of that knowledge, and with her voice sometimes groping for steady ground, "Cabaret" sounded more triumphant than ever: Life, for everything it may have thrown at Minnelli, was still a cabaret, and she wasn't a happy corpse just yet.
For that matter, she had an audience eager to party with her. Nearly every song Minnelli sang in the last half of her set drew a standing ovation, and some audience members treated her more like an old friend than an icon, interspersing comments between her songs. The performer was clearly used to that; when a woman a few rows back shouted that she had seen her in "Chicago" years ago, Minnelli engaged in a brief conversation with her about when the performance took place.
Whatever her technical limitations, Minnelli more than lived up to her vibrant image at the Segerstrom Center. Her set played like a greatest-hits retrospective, touching on Broadway, Christmas tunes and even her quasi-theme song from the early 1970s, "Say Liza (Liza With a "Z")," which gives the listener a crash course in how to spell her name ("It's Liza with a 'Z' / not Lisa with an 'S' / 'cause Lisa with an 'S' / goes sss not zzz...").
Minnelli, of course, is an actor as well as a singer (she won the Best Actress Oscar for "Cabaret" in 1972), and she summoned those chops in "My Own Best Friend" from "Chicago," reciting both sides of a jailhouse dialogue scene between protagonist Roxie Hart and her lawyer before segueing into the lyrics. Her most moving performance of the night came on "What Makes a Man a Man?" a story-song about a gay dancer written by her mentor, Charles Aznavour; Minnelli dropped her voice to a spectral whisper in places, half singing and half speaking as she related the narrator's private world of anxiety.
"Isn't that a swell song?" Minnelli asked when it ended. Throughout the show, she often raved about her material and, for that matter, her backup players; after just one song, she called MenAlive "the happiest group of people I ever played with."
Before a long drumroll announced Minnelli early in the second act, the chorus held center stage. The sound mix posed problems at times — the drums and horns, on the uptempo numbers, overpowered many of the lyrics — but the a capella renditions of "Carol of the Bells" and the Welsh carol "All Through the Night" were genuinely lovely, and spirited lead vocals by Matt Jankowski, Mark Clark and Michael L. Quintos made "Brotherhood of Man," from the musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," a highlight.
The chorus backed Minnelli on occasion during her set, but mostly stood in the back looking like another adoring crowd — albeit a quieter one than the audience, whose cries of "I love you, Liza!" became so prevalent that they might as well have been credited as backing vocals in the show's official program.
What shone through more than anything at the Segerstrom Center on Thursday was that Minnelli's fans love her and she loves them back, to the point where even a little throat congestion couldn't dampen that spirit. By the time the last note sounded on the final number — "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," which Minnelli touchingly dedicated to her mother, Judy Garland — the star had more than earned her applause and her Vitamin C.

Can it really be the first of June? My blogging activities have become sporadic again, it seems. Shortly after my last posting I left on a week-long research trip to Ft. Wayne, Indiana, home of The Allen County Public Library (ACPL). This facility is one of the premier genealogical research libraries in the country and claims to be the largest such library that is publicly-funded.
The ACPL certainly lived up to my expectations. My initial goal was to search for clues to the ancestry of Henry Reynolds, one of my "brick wall" great-great grandparents. This effort was moderately successful – some good information was found in Kentucky and Virginia land records about possible members of his family.
A second goal was to look for new information about the Holladay family in the ACPL holdings for Adair County, Kentucky. These holdings are quite impressive, but I found little for Adair that is not available in Salt Lake City and no Holladay information that was new to me.
While there I also looked for new information about Zachariah Holladay's somewhat mysterious older brother John. Here I was spectacularly successful in learning about his descendants and about the woman he married, Margaret or Margery Gustavus. John is mentioned briefly in my biographical sketch of Zacharias, especially in footnote 3, but much of his life has been a mystery to me, especially what happened after he disappears from Washington County, Kentucky, records in about 1798.
Both during this trip and since my return, this effort to find more information about Zacharias' brother John Holladay has occupied much of my genealogy time. The trouble is, other priorities and commitments keep me from spending more than one or at most two hours per day on genealogy. I now have two more genealogical projects to pursue in addition to various tasks under what I call the Holladay Family project. These new projects are the search for Henry Reynolds (1778-1849) parents, and developing a biographical sketch of John Holladay (1755-1800). I'll be commenting on each of these and summarizing results in future posts.

Concrete Floor Coatings – Which Ones Are Best?
Concrete floor coatings are crucial in relation to buildings and structures. The primary reason for such coatings is protecting the slab from contamination or deterioration. Other benefits are aesthetics, chemical resistance, non-skid, physical overall performance, ease of maintenance, and different such functions. Flooring is the most abused element of any building, so it is extraordinarily important to to coat it so that it lasts longer. Chemical attack, abrasion, thermal shock impact, and all such abuses have an effect on the flooring greater than any other component. Concrete flooring are generally recognized to be porous. This makes it have a better tendency to collect dust from continuous wear and abuse. As such, it's very crucial to protect the concrete flooring through using any sort of shielding cloth.
Epoxy coatings are quite effective for concrete floors. This thermosetting polymer is available in 3 distinctive formulations: solvent based, water based, and 100% solids. These kinds of concrete floor coatings are appealing, bendable, and very durable. It seals concrete and metallic fixtures, and prolongs the life of the floor. Versatility is an important advantage for epoxy coatings. It could be used on property, offices, workshops, or even in industries and factories. Some of these advantages make epoxy coatings a popular choice.
Polyurethane is also a thermosetting polymer that is referred to as a high performance coating. Producers are of the opinion that polyurethane coating has a better wear resistance than epoxy coating. It also handles impacts better and is more immune to abrasion and chemicals. Polyurethane is also uv stable, which makes certain it does not yellow like epoxy coatings. Despite the fact that the coating isn't as hard as an epoxy coating, it's miles scratch resistant and has excessive temperature tolerance. As compared to epoxy coatings, however, polyurethane coatings do not bond well enough to the concrete and the dry film thickness does not work to fill in the small cracks in the surface as a self levelling agent.
Whether epoxy or polyurethane is used depends on the job. A concrete coating company will be able to determine which one is best.

Oil sands' noxious byproduct
Calgary - Canada is blessed with 3 million lakes, more than any country on Earth-and it may soon start manufacturing new ones. They're just not the kind that will attract anglers or tourists.
The oil sands industry is in the throes of a major expansion, powered by $19 billion a year in investments. Companies are running out of room to store the contaminated water that is a byproduct of the process used to turn bitumen - a highly viscous form of petroleum-into diesel and other fuels.
By 2022 they will be producing so much of the stuff that a month's output of wastewater could turn an area the size of New York's Central Park into a toxic reservoir 11 feet (3.4 meters) deep, according to the Pembina Institute, a nonprofit in Calgary that promotes sustainable energy.
To tackle the problem, energy companies have drawn up plans that would transform northern Alberta into the largest man-made lake district on Earth. Several firms have obtained permission from provincial authorities to flood abandoned tar sand mines with a mix of tailings and fresh water.
Syncrude Canada began work this summer on Base Mine Lake, which ultimately will measure 2,000 acres. It says the reservoir will eventually replicate a natural habitat, complete with fish and waterfowl. As many as 30 so-called end-pit lakes are planned, according to Alberta's Cumulative Environment Management Association, a private-public partnership.
Green groups are alarmed. The industry's spotty environmental record drew global attention in 2008 when some 1,600 ducks died in a tailings pond belonging to Syncrude. Provincial authorities introduced regulations the next year governing the storage of fluid waste from oil sands. A June report from Alberta's energy regulator, though, said several companies aren't meeting the more stringent targets.
"There's no way to tell how the ecology of these lakes will evolve over time," says Jennifer Grant, director of oil sands at Pembina. "It's all guesswork at this point. It's reckless."
One big concern surrounding end-pit lakes is that the contaminated water will spread through the boreal ecosystem, the tract of trees and marshland that stretches around the top of the world from Canada to Russia and Scandinavia. Boreal forests store almost twice as much carbon as tropical forests.
In October, communities bordering Canada's Athabasca River were cautioned not to drink from the waterway after a breach in a coal tailings storage pond dumped 1 billion liters (264 million gallons) of contaminated water into an area west of Edmonton.
"We're playing Russian roulette with a big part of an important ecosystem," says David Schindler, an ecology professor at the University of Alberta. "Nothing is going to grow in that soup of toxic elements except perhaps a few hydrosulfide bacteria. And all of the unforeseen events are being downplayed."
This summer, Syncrude began filling in a mine 30 miles north of Fort McMurray. Toxic slurry is being topped with fresh water from a dam to a depth of 16 feet, the level required to force tailings particles to remain at the bottom, according to Cheryl Robb, a company spokeswoman.
She says that in trials involving test ponds, Syncrude's scientists discovered naturally occurring microbes in tailings that help break down some of the pollutants. The reservoirs eventually developed ecosystems, including insects, amphibians and fish. But the largest test pond was 4 hectares-roughly ½00th the size of Syncrude's lake.
"The big question we have is how long will it take before the water is clean, how long is it going to take before the littoral zones develop and the shoreline vegetation builds up?" Robb says. "But we're confident in the technology."
One need not look far to see what could go wrong with this containment strategy. Some 400 miles south of Calgary lies the Berkeley Pit, a 900-foot-deep lake in Montana that began forming after copper mining ceased in 1982 and groundwater began filling the gaping hole.
The water, loaded with heavy metals and as acidic as lemon juice, now threatens to spill over into local river basins, according to the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology.
Canada boasts the world's third-largest reserves of bitumen after Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. So any effort to mitigate the pollution that results from mining the fossil fuel must by necessity be grand in scope, says Dan Wicklum, chief executive of Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance, an industry group based in Calgary.
"Large-scale issues require large-scale approaches," he says, adding that Cosia has encouraged technology-sharing with the goal of improving the industry's environmental record. "Companies are working together in ways the world hasn't seen."
That's precisely what's bothering one money manager.
"I'm alarmed that these companies are relying on this for a reclamation strategy," says Jamie Bonham, who's in charge of extractives research at NEI Investments in Vancouver. "We're putting a lot of eggs in one basket. Imagine the costs if it doesn't work."

My daughter and I moved to Carmi in the year 2000. The move was due to my new job as an English teacher at Carmi-White County High School.
My daughter and I moved to Carmi in the year 2000. The move was due to my new job as an English teacher at Carmi-White County High School. Accepting that position forever changed our lives and was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It wasn't long after we lived here that it felt like home. There are at least five things that I enjoy about living here.
First of all, there is a sense of community in this small town. People are friendly and always willing to help one another. There is a real sense of solidarity here. The town comes together in times of sorrow and in moments of celebration.
Secondly, this is a fantastic place to raise kids. While not without problems, our city is still safe for children to play and ride their bike. Thirdly, Carmi still thrives upon old-fashioned values. I wanted my child to grow up in city with a sense of pride. We still recite the Pledge of Allegiance and we do not omit "One Nation under God." We honor veterans and we respect the elders that came before us. Every day, common, decent manners are still relied upon. I for one, appreciate that. Take a trip up north and see if anyone opens the door for you or says excuse me, while they cut in front of you in the grocery line.
Fourth, our little town looks picture perfect when you drive through. The grandeur of our Victorian homes is unsurpassed, especially lit up on a snowy evening. People for the most part still take pride in their property and keep it up. I love that about Carmi. Next, family is still first here. While we all lead busy lives, we take time out to value what is important. I have never worked in a school district that is so supported by family and community. It makes our jobs as teachers much easier. Nothing in life is perfect or without flaws, but living in Carmi has been and remains a blessing in our lives.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Times-Call's series Take Two revisits people we have written about in the past year. Take Two stories will run on Mondays.
LONGMONT -- Attorney Brandon Shaffer spent much of the past eight years in Denver, helping write and modify Colorado's laws.
Now, he's spending most of his time in Longmont, assisting clients with drawing up wills, completing real-estate transactions or pursuing personal-injury claims.
"It's been fun," Shaffer said of his return to a full-time private legal practice.
"It's challenging, interesting," he said, adding that "it brings different skills to bear" than those he exercised during his time in the Colorado Legislature.
Last week, Longmont Democrat Shaffer officially concluded two four-year terms representing eastern Boulder County in the state Senate.
That included three years as Senate president. Last Wednesday, at the start of the Legislature's 2013 session -- and for the final time -- Shaffer returned to the statehouse to preside over routine procedures such as recording the results of the 2012 Senate elections and swearing in newly elected and re-elected senators.
Then, he formally handed the gavel to Colorado Springs Sen. John Morse, chosen by fellow Senate Democrats to succeed Shaffer in the president's chair.
This was the first time in years that "I wasn't stressed out about writing opening-day speech remarks," Shaffer joked Wednesday afternoon at Ziggi's.
Shaffer, who was barred by term limits from seeking re-election to his Senate seat, said there'll be some things he'll miss about his work at the state Capitol.
"It's a beautiful building, a beautiful process, and wonderful people are involved. And I'll miss all of them."
He said he still gets emails from some former constituents who apparently didn't know that he's no longer their senator -- messages he passes along to Sen. Matt Jones, D-Louisville, who was elected in November to the Senate Ditrict 17 seat.
Last year, Shaffer campaigned to shift to a different lawmaking arena.
But he lost his challenge of incumbent U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner for Colorado's 4th Congressional District seat. Yuma Republican Gardner, Schaffer's former law school classmate, won re-election.
The core of local voters' support that elected Shaffer to his state Senate seat in 2004 and re-elected him to that post in 2008 continued in the congressional competition, with Longmont-area voters giving Shaffer 57 percent of the Boulder County votes cast in the 4th District contest. Gardner got 38 percent.
Gardner handily won the district-wide competition, though, getting 58 percent of the total 4th District votes cast while Shaffer got about 37 percent. The rest of the districts' votes were split between Libertarian Josh Gilliland and the American Constitution Party's Doug Aden.
When asked last week about any lingering effects of that congressional contest, Shaffer said: "You win some and lose some. Part of building character is being able to get back up after you've lost one."
Meanwhile, one of the up-sides of no longer being in the midst of a political campaign or of carrying out the day-to-day responsibilities that come with being a state legislator, Shaffer said, is that he now has more time to spend with his Longmont friends and his family -- wife Jessicca, a Longmont Estates Elementary School teacher, 11-year-old son Dylan and 8-year-old daughter Madison, students at that school.
When he was making his daily commute to Denver, Shaffer said, he deliberately tried to be back home at night in time to tell his kids stories and help put them to bed.
"I don't think I missed a parent-teacher conference," he said. He could recall only a couple of occasions when bad winter weather forced him to sleep in Denver; he then stayed at the home of his mother, Trudy Beamguard.
Even so, "I can't remember a two-month period when I really had time, with the family, to look at what the future holds."
Now, he said, he blessed with an opportunity to take the time "to find the right fit" when checking out potential career changes.
"The truth is, I'm still kind of working my way through on long-range prospects," Shaffer said.
That could entail affiliating with an established law firm, or considering appointment to some government post "if the right opportunity came up," or pursuing a management-level position in the private or nonprofit sectors -- positions he said could benefit from the public-sector experience he gained as Senate majority leader and Senate president.
Shaffer said he hasn't set a time frame for deciding on his next career choice.
"I'm enjoying life right now," Shaffer said, adding that he's getting in shape for playing tennis, a favorite form of personal recreation he'll once again have more time for.
Shaffer predicted that "good things will happen in the future" for him and his family.
"I'm grateful for the chance to have served in the Legislature," he said, and "I love the town we live in," he said.
Shaffer said he's been operating his private law practice out of his northwest Longnmont home, for the time being. He said that whatever he winds up doing in the future, he hopes to remain based in Longmont.
"We are so connected to this community," he said. "The schools have been really good for our kids. We love Longmont and have no plans to leave."

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsEvents
NMRA Spring Break Shootout 2013 - Spring Forward
The NMRA unleashes its new class lineup in sunny Florida
It seems that each off-season takes forever. Then it's as if time hits fast-forward, and the NMRA Spring Break Shootout is suddenly in the windshield. During that downtime between seasons we're able to focus on project cars and technical articles for upcoming issues, but just like for racers, the event seems to be on top of us before we know it.
Coming into this new NMRA season there were a lot of questions in need of answers. It was time to check the pulse of the upcoming 2013 campaign. How would the new Street Outlaw class fare under new rules aimed at combining the excitement of Super Street Outlaw and the unpredictable Drag Radial classes? If there had been only three to four cars, the class would be in trouble, but with 11 cars at Bradenton, maybe the NMRA is onto something with the combination.
And how would Coyote Stock start out the year? We know 18 of the Ford Racing sealed crate engines have been sold, so the cars are out there—six showed up at Bradenton. That is a strong number considering most Coyote Stock racers aren't in a financial position to make the trek south. Hopefully we'll see more as the series heads north.
Speaking of north, the racers that can make the trip were eager to get to Bradenton to see if their off-season improvements would be, well, improvements. To see how it all shook out, check out the captions.
Horse Sense: Much of the big smack talk around the pits was about who had the quickest Coyote race car, and that's sure to get settled at the 5.0 Shootout event held at this year's NMRA event at Norwalk in mid-June.
Street Outlaw
From the get-go Phil Hines was the man to beat in the new Street Outlaw class, setting the standard in qualifying with a 7.34 at 196.03. That was well ahead of most of the class, and a solid tenth quicker than number- two qualifier John Urist. It seemed the two were on a collision course. That was until the second round. Phil got loose off the line and Eric Leeper got a big jump in his '99 Lightning. It looked like the race was over until Eric got loose past mid-track and Phil reeled him in. After that scare, the excitement built for the finals—and it lived up to the hype. Phil got the jump and laid down his quickest e.t. of the weekend, a 7.30 at 195 to take the first win in the class.
Factory Stock
Coming into Bradenton, perennial Renegade favorite Brian Mitchell expected more out of his '04 Cobra, but it didn't seem to respond the way he wanted. He made off-season changes aimed at bettering his consistent 8.40s from 2012, but the numbers didn't get better. Last season Renegade was Brian's class, and no one else was in the neighborhood. He's a tireless worker, so we're sure if there's a tenth to be found, he'll find it. With eight in Renegade at Bradenton, Brian received luck in the fact that both his first- and second-round competitors broke. His first race was in the final against AJ Wyce, but it was all Brian's when the Tree fell with an 8.54 to AJ's 8.97.
Coyote Stock
Taking over the driving duties in his '11 GT from Justin Burcham, Joe Marini at first appeared to be at a disadvantage when matched up against the pack of earlier 'Stangs. He qualified mid-pack with a 10.76 at 145 mph. Joe easily handled Paul Dishroon's Fox in the first round, however. In Round 2 it appeared he'd have stiff competition from the '01 GT in the other lane, but that car had some sort of mismatched signaged bolted to the rear bumper cover that seemed to slow it down.
Factory Stock
Matt Amrine focused on reducing rotating mass in the off-season, and it showed he was still on his game at Bradenton. Though the relatively warm Florida temps did little to perpetuate any performance improvement, Matt still ran his usual consistent 10.80s performing only routine maintenance in between rounds. His Two-Valve GT, rumored to be receiving an actual paint job sometime in 2013, did its part at Bradenton by going rounds. Matt's toughest competition came in the final against Louis Sylvester, but he was able to pull out the win to get a good start on 2013.
Modular Muscle
In the Modular Muscle final we had a bit of a burndown going on between Susan McClenaghan and Donnie Bowles. When they finally decided to play nice and stage, the duel didn't end well for defending champ Donnie. He went way red to hand Susan the win and a jump on the points. We're sure Bradenton won't be the last time in 2013 these two square off in the finals.
Open Comp
Donald Carver finished third in points on 2012, but with a Bradenton win he's looking to improve on that finish. His '76 Mustang II features a 357ci powerplant to run low-10s in NMRA Open Comp. Heads-up racers better be ready if Donald ever crosses over because he's deadly at the Tree. His worst reaction time came in the final, where he was able to watch final-round competitor Ashley Conway-Lang go red before it was his turn to go.
Johnny Lightning was finally able to get the money off his back by winning the 2012 championship. At Bradenton it seemed Johnny was ready to start 2013 where he let off, but Fred Wade had other ideas in he final. Fred was able to extract a 0.530 light against Johnny's slightly slower 0.565 reaction time. That's all the room Fred needed to take the win, even though Johnny ran closer to his own index time.
Super 'Stang
All the talk in Super Stang was Terry "Beefcake" Reeves and his 8.75 pass. That caused quite the stir just in the '11-'13 Mustang circle, but in Super 'Stang, it's not about quick e.t.'s. Dave Liechty, though a tad inconsistent at the Tree, was able to get the win at Bradenton with his '06 Mustang, getting past JD Coon, Silent Lloyd Mikeska, Marvin Knack, and John Memmery in the process.
Cobra Jet Showdown
The best way to increase your chance of winning is to have more cars entered than anyone else. The Skillman family had that part covered in the Cobra Jet Showdown class at Bradenton. Unfortunately, two of the Skillmans, Drew and Ray, had to face each other in Round 1. However, it was Drew Skillman and his '12 Cobra Jet taking the win on Saturday to do the family proud.

I just came across the following interesting question of Nati Linial.
If a two-dimensional simplicial complex has vertices and faces, does it necessarily contain an embedded torus?
I want to advertise this question to a wider audience, so I'll explain first why I think it is interesting.
First of all this question makes sense in the context of Turán theory, a branch of extremal combinatorics. The classical Turán theorem gives that if a graph on vertices has more than edges then it necessarily contains a complete subgraph on vertices. This is tight for every and .
One could ask instead how many edges one must have before there is forced to be a cycle subgraph, where it doesn't matter what the length of the cycle is. This is actually an easier question, and it is easy to see out that if one has edges there must be a cycle.
It also seems more natural, in that it can be phrased topologically: how many edges must be added to vertices before we are forced to contain an embedded image of the circle?
What is the right two-dimensional analogue of this statement? In particular, is there a constant such that a two-dimensional simplicial complex with vertices and at least two-dimensional faces must contain an embedded sphere ? If so, then this is essentially best possible. By taking a cone over a complete graph on vertices, one constructs a two-complex on vertices with faces and no embedded spheres. Without having thought about it at all, I am not sure how to do better.
In any case, the corresponding question for torus seems more interesting, but for different reasons. In a paper with Eric Babson and Chris Hoffman we looked at the fundamental group of random two-complexes, as defined by Linial and Meshulam, and found the rough threshold for vanishing of the fundamental group. To show that the fundamental group was nontrivial when the number of faces was small required a lot of work — in particular, in order to apply Gromov's local-to-global method for hyperbolicity, we needed to prove that the space was locally negatively curved, and this meant classifying the homotopy type of subcomplexes up to a large but constant size.
It turned out that the small subcomplexes were all homotopy equivalent to wedges of circles, spheres, and projective planes. In particular, we show that there are not any torus subcomplexes, at least not of bounded size. (Linial may have recently shown that there are not embedded tori, even of size tending to infinity with .) On the other hand, just on the other side of the threshold embedded tori abound in great quantity. It is interesting that something similar happens in the density random groups of Gromov — that the threshold for vanishing of the density random group corresponds to the presence of tori subcomplex in the naturally associated two-complex. It is not clear to me if this is a general phenomenon, coming geometrically from the fact that a torus admits a flat metric.
Some of the great successes of the probabilistic method in combinatorics have been in existence proofs when constructions are hard or impossible to come by. It would be nice to have interesting or extremal topological examples produced this way. Nati's question suggests an interesting family of extremal problems in topological combinatorics, and it might make sense that in certain cases, random simplicial complexes have nearly maximally many faces for avoiding a particular embedded subspace.
Update: Nati pointed me to the paper Sós, V. T.; Erdos, P.; Brown, W. G., On the existence of triangulated spheres in $3$-graphs, and related problems. Period. Math. Hungar. 3 (1973), no. 3-4, 221–228.
Here it is shown that is the right answer for the sphere. Their lower bound is constructive, based on projective planes over finite fields. Nati said that being initially unaware of this paper, he found a probabilistic proof that works just as well as a lower bound for every fixed 2-manifold. So it seems that the main problem here is to find a matching upper bound for the torus.
