A Math Magician is a person performing mathematical magic tricks. There are some variations and some call it Mathemagician, math-magician or simply math magician. However, the word is not to be confused with Mathematician
A mathematician is a person with an extensive knowledge of mathematics who uses this knowledge in their work, typically to solve mathematical problems.
To laypeople, the word math magician might sound a bit odd, as most people would not be able to tell the difference between a magician and a math-magician. The inability to distinct between the two, is a perfect situation for the math-magician, who simply want people to believe that his is performing illusions, and not that the whole thing is based on math magic.
To magicians however, it is typical very easy to tell a magician from a math magician, as magicians know exactly what to look for in order to understand the details of a trick. There are of course differences and some math magicians do their job very well, meaning it will often be difficult to tell if the tricks performed are based on mathematics or slight-of-hands, etc. One such person is Max Maven, who to the public is better known as a mentalist rather than a math-magician, simply because the term is more friendly to the general public.
In short the term math magician does tell you something about how tricks are performed whereas the word mentalist simply tells you which kind magic is being performed and less so about the way its being done or the way in which the tricks being used have been developed.
Becoming a math magician is easy. Becoming a good math magician is a bit more difficult, but still easy, and in my opinion, the perfect way to get started with the act of performing magic as entertainment, also if you only plan to do it on a small scale at family parties and for when friends and random people when you go out.
Starting out with math magic is a good idea as the act of performing these kind of tricks are far easier than say tricks which require slight-of-hand. Once you know how to perform a certain mathematical trick, you can more of less do it straight away, as these tricks tend to be self-working. Because of this, you can focus on the actual performance, story telling, psychological aspects, etc. With that being said, you need to make sure you chose some really good math magic tricks, as a poor trick easily will expose you as a math-magician. Once you have the right tricks, you also need to practice them a lot, before you start performing for a live audience. You need to make sure that you make the performance look like true magic, and not mathematics.
Here on Math-magician I will share everything I know about how to get started as a math magician. There are lots and lots of mathematical tricks out there, some of which are extremely good and others which are not. I will tell you which ones are worth your time. I will share tips and tricks on performance, storytelling, etc. Hopefully this page will be your one and only resource in order to become an expert math magician!

European fund sector contracts for second time in decade
The number of funds in the European asset management industry contracted for the second time in the past decade during 2011, according to figures from Lipper.
The mutual fund information provider's latest European Fund Market Review says 35,364 products were found in the industry at the end of 2011, which is a decline of 43 from one year earlier.
The report notes that this compares with the larger fall of 801 that was seen in 2009, the last time the industry contracted.
Ed Moisson, head of UK and cross-border research at Lipper, says: "2011 was only the second year in the past decade that the European funds industry suffered net outflows.
"Clearly the pressure is on fund management companies with international ambitions to really understand which products will be well received and in which markets."
The research also shows there was a "unsurprising tail-off" in new product launches in the second half of 2011. Some 1,687 funds were unveiled over the first half but this dropped to 1,291 in the second.
Close to half of assets run by the European fund management industry are in products launched over the past decade, according to analysis by Lipper.
The mutual fund information provider's latest European Fund Market Review says 46% of industry assets are managed by portfolios unveiled in the last 10 years – with 22% held in funds launched in the past five years.
However, Moisson adds that this trend is not guaranteed to continue over the course of 2012.
"Just as 2009 did not herald a new dawn of product rationalisation across the industry (there was a net increase of 871 funds in 2010), so it seems very unlikely that 2011 will either," he says.
"Instead market conditions will largely dictate where product development priorities lie."

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

The paint that binds
Novice artists gather at studio to make memories
If your last artistic endeavor was a childhood paint-by-number or a high school art class, a new Henrico business provides the opportunity to uncork your inner artist and fuel your creative spirit – with 30 or 40 friends if you so desire.
Open since November, Spirited Art is located in West Broad Village, adjacent to The Wine Loft. That's where the "spirit" comes in.
Individuals and groups who attend painting sessions or classes during Wine Loft hours can order from a menu of flatbreads, sliders, cheese boards and beverages to enjoy while they create.
And the creations? Depending on the night, participants paint may anything from flowers and trees to animals to (the most popular) the Richmond skyline.
No artistic experience is needed; as promotional literature emphasizes, all that painters need to know are their shapes, letters and colors. And it helps to bring a friend and a sense of humor.
On a recent evening, Spirited Art hosted a record crowd of about 65 primarily-amateur artists gathered to paint blue crabs while they raised funds for the non-profit organization Boaz & Ruth, which has transformed the Highland Park community of Richmond by creating jobs, renovating buildings and starting businesses.
Before buckling down to their masterpieces, the painters heard from a Boaz & Ruth spokesperson, who described the organization's job training sessions, conflict resolution classes and coaching and counseling programs and their empowering effects for participants who had struggled with homelessness, prison and addiction.
"We rebuild [not just] stores and houses," said the spokesperson, who like most graduates of Boaz and Ruth programs was once incarcerated. "We rebuild lives."
Family time
After a brief explanation of the process from a Spirited Art guide, and turns with the crab template to outline paintings, 65 heads bent over their canvases and the color-mixing began in earnest. Among the varied groups tackling the task were several residents of Wellesley, members of Christ Church Episcopal (a supporter of Boaz & Ruth), and employees of Free Agents Marketing. Many were encouraged to come by Marilyn Wayland of Free Agents, who organized the fundraising event.
But others who attended independently included the team of Stephanie Evans and her 12-year-old daughter Sarah, who decided to share one canvas and paint their crustacean as a collaborative effort. Their cousin and friend, Tracey Papas, was on her fourth trip to Spirited Art and had invited the Evans to join her for some family bonding.
"It's a good summer outing," said Stephanie Evans, as she and Sarah fine-tuned the shade of pink that would form the crab's background.
"And nice mother-daughter time."
On another recent afternoon, a group of 30 employees from Capital One gathered in the Spirited Art studio to paint one of the most popular subjects – the Richmond skyline – while doing some corporate team-building.
The atmosphere at the studio lends itself easily to team-building activities, say the owners, because it gets colleagues outside the comfort zone of their offices, breaks down workplace barriers and puts everyone on a more-or-less equal footing -- not to mention building camaraderie and injecting fun and humor into the mix.
In addition, participants finish the session with a memento to take home or back to the office – typically the skyline painting, but sometimes a corporate symbol or abstract piece of art. A group of 40 employees from University of Richmond, for example, all contributed to the same masterpiece: a multiple-paneled portrayal of the UR gazebo.
And after a visit by the Bon Secours Memorial School of Nursing, faculty member Trina Gardner told the Spirited Art staff, "We had no idea what to expect of this adventure, but we ended up with some excellent paintings – and insight into our true personalities!"
Among other Henrico groups and corporations that have visited Spirited Art for team-building events, said co-owner Dami Snyder, are Snagajob, Henrico County Schools, AmeriFinancial and CapTech. And although the Capital One group decided to focus on the social aspects for their experience, groups can also choose to add a challenging exercise or two. In one such exercise, explained Snyder, colleagues reach the halfway point of the session and take their communal break – only to hear the announcement that after the break, everyone will
move three seats over and resume painting on someone else's canvas.
"It's a good lesson," said Snyder, pointing out that the exercise highlights surprises and setbacks that can occur in the typical workplace. "You don't always get the project you want," she noted as one example. "You may get a project better than you thought you'd get. And you may walk into a hot mess!"
'I missed art in my life'
Although Spirited Art is new to the Richmond area, the concept is based on similar successful programs in Huntsville, Little Rock and Knoxville. Lauren McCormick, who is Snyder's sister and one of four co-owners of the Richmond site, said that once she visited the Alabama location, she could hardly wait to open a similar spot back home in Richmond. When she had become a mother, said McCormick, her artistic pursuits had fallen by the wayside. "I missed art in my
life," she said.
Despite the obstacles posed by restrictive Virginia ABC laws, which forbade the BYOB format of other Spirited Art sites, the owners persevered. Learning that the space next door to The Wine Loft was available, she approached Jeff Ottaviano of The Wine Loft about a partnership. By Thanksgiving 2011, Spirited Art Richmond was off and running, with little more than word-of-mouth advertising.
As the Boaz and Ruth event wound to a close July 24 – at $1,120 in proceeds, Spirited Art's biggest fundraiser to date – it was clear that the session had not only made a substantial sum for charity, but had also made a substantial number of memories.
Tracey Papas, in fact, made a point of flipping her canvas over and telling the Evanses that she had recorded their names for posterity. "I always write on the back of it," Papas told them, "about who I was with."
Across the room, 90-year-old Irma Rich beamed for the camera held by her daughter-in-law Adrienne Rich of Free Agents, while noisy groups of co-workers and neighbors posed proudly with their paintings for photos for the Spirited Art Facebook page. And next to the Evanses, a professional artist from Chesterfield wrapped up her fourth crab painting and speculated on which charity might be the recipient of her latest effort.
A frequent studio visitor, Sally Valentine has already painted a half dozen projects for the purpose of donating them to silent auctions at charity events. The last time she painted a crab, it raised $85 for a fundraiser for the Cape Charles Museum; another Spirited Art painting made $185 at a separate silent auction.
But generating money for charity, said Valentine, is not the only thing she enjoys about her visits to Spirited Art. The evening sessions allow her a chance to get out and meet interesting people, while also freeing her from distractions and enforcing a built-in time limit.
"It's great," said Valentine, "that you can come here and and sit down and paint – and it forces you to finish it!"

Tried and True Remedies for Poison Oak
March 31, 2014 by Cynthia Baum · 2 Comments
Best Ways of Surviving Poison Oak—most recently tried and found to be true.
With summer right around the corner and more outdoor time being scheduled—here is a little warning for those who want to avoid a red, swollen, itchy, uncomfortable, pus-filled, raised and blistery rash that lasts about a week (and oftentimes longer). Pay close attention since these plants (poison sumac, ivy, and oak) grow everywhere in the United States (with the exception of Hawaii, Alaska, and some desert areas of the southwestern United States) and look different depending on the region.
First off, Avoidance Is Key!
Look out for these three-pronged leaves that tend to grow near creeks, streams and riverbeds. They sometimes have little white flowers and often grow in shaded areas of trails. Also, the leaves tend to change color in the fall, from yellow to red. If you know you will be in an area where it grows, wear protective clothing that covers skin where you could come in contact with plant.
First Response to the Rash–
Once it's been confirmed you have accidentally come into contact with the dreaded plant, make sure to wash EVERYTHING that has come in contact with the oil that causes the itchy reaction on human skin, ASAP. As hard as it is, try not to scratch the itchy areas as this can cause the rash to spread. Having just recently dealt with an annoying case of Poison Oak (and still in the final stages of recovery), it is imperative that you not only wash your skin with soap and water, but also ALL of the clothing, bedding, boots, hiking gear, and anything else you might have come into contact with before realizing you had been exposed to the plant's relentlessness. One thing you DON'T want to have happen is to treat the poison oak for days and think you are mostly in the clear, just to touch something you forgot to wash the urushiol oils off of and it starts all over again with a NEW rash on another part of your body. The urushiol oil remains toxic for up to a year—so make sure you wash everything ASAP!
I speak from experience—these are the remedies that have most recently helped me…
Wash the areas covered in rash with soap (I use Dr. Bronners) and warm water when bathing, then towel dry by patting areas of infection. Immediately apply a liberal amount of Calamine Lotion (which has a topical analgesic as one of the ingredients and is sold over the counter) on the rash, followed by sprinkling some baking soda over it (to absorb the pus that inevitably oozes out of the wound during healing process). Then wait until the rash/creams are mostly dry before adorning comfortable, loose clothing that will hopefully not exacerbate the itchiness. Take Benadryl or Claritin to help with the itch and discomfort. Just beware, many antihistamines will cause drowsiness– if you will be driving, operating heavy machinery or just need to be bright-eyed, bushy tailed for work. Also, cool compresses help relieve the hot, achy, swollen areas.

The unveiling of a US senate climate bill scheduled for Monday has been postponed, following a dispute over unrelated immigration reform legislation.
The initial plan was to outline details of the bill – after discussions between Democratic, Republican and independent senators – to environmental and industry representatives at a news conference on Monday.
But the climate change bill was postponed on Saturday, said John Kerry, a Democratic senator, adding that he would continue to try to get it through the senate.
Earlier on Saturday Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator, said he would withdraw from the bipartisan effort because of concerns that Democrats would try to push forward with a debate on immigration reform, rather than the climate bill.
Kerry said after more than six months of meetings with Graham and Joseph Lieberman, an independent senator, that "we believe that we had reached" an agreement on the details of a bill.
"But regrettably, external issues have arisen that force us to postpone only temporarily" the senate's work on the bill, he said.
He added that the bill would also expand US nuclear power generation and offshore oil drilling.
The wide-ranging bill aims to reduce smokestack emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases associated with global warming.
Stalled effort
The proposed legislation already faced an uphill battle in the senate, even before it became enmeshed in a partisan battle between Democrats and Republicans over immigration reform.
"They expect us to do both [climate change and immigration reform] and they will not accept the notion that trying to act on one is an excuse for not acting on the other"
Harry Reid, senate majority leader
But with only a few months left before November's congressional elections, senators are trying to determine where their efforts should be focused.
Earlier on Saturday, The Washington Post reported that Graham wrote a letter to his colleagues informing them that unless Democrats stepped back from plans to move ahead with immigration reform rather than the climate change bill, he would drop out of the three-senator working group.
Without Graham on board, efforts to pass climate control legislation could be doomed as he was expected to work to win more Republican support for the bill.
On Saturday Harry Reid, the Democratic senate majority leader, issued a statement that immigration and climate change were both important to Americans.
"They expect us to do both, and they will not accept the notion that trying to act on one is an excuse for not acting on the other," he said.

Comments about Tablemate® Tableskirting; Pleated Look Soft Linen, 29x14, White:
I ordered these for our Open House event. I did not want "cheap" appearance. I was impressed with these on sight. Besides the material, they fit the tables well, held up for the hole day without falling down. And I took them home to reuse for another party.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

nice! reminds me of the style on some album covers, not sure which ones though (was it naked and famous?)
like it, how the world looked to travellers before we built over everything and exploring was a trip to the unknown
this is perfect for my apartment. is it possible to get this print in 21"x28" size instead of 20"x28"? i was hoping to choose another piece from your collection as well and have side by side frames on my wall but mostly every other "large" size is 21"x28" and doesnt match , just slightly off

A long-awaited first round of peace talks between the Pakistani Taliban and the government has been held in Islamabad after numerous delays and growing doubt over the chance of their success.
The two sides met on Thursday for a preliminary meeting likely to chart a "road map" for future discussions, amid deep scepticism over whether dialogue can yield a lasting peace deal. The talks will resume on Friday.
Pakistani Taliban fighters have been battling for years to topple the central government and establish Islamic rule, but Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif believes the movement is now ready to find a negotiated settlement and stop the fighting.
In a statement after the meeting, which lasted over three hours, the two sides stressed their commitment to dialogue.
"Both committees concluded that all sides should refrain from any act that could damage the talks," it said. "Both condemn recent acts of violence in Pakistan, saying such efforts should not sabotage the talks."
Irfan Siddiqui, a government negotiator picked by Sharif, sent a text message from the meeting to the Reuters news agency, describing the atmosphere as "cordial and friendly".
The peace initiative, which Sharif announced just as many were anticipating a major military offensive on Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) strongholds in the North Waziristan tribal area, got off to a chaotic start earlier this week.
The government delegation missed the planned opening meeting on Tuesday saying they were unsure of who was representing the TTP at the talks and what powers they had been given.
Fragile security
Underlining the fragile security situation, a suicide bomber on Tuesday killed eight people in a sectarian attack against minority Shia Muslims in the northwestern city of Peshawar, just hours after the abortive start to the talks.
The main TTP spokesman denied they were behind the blast but a commander for the group in Peshawar told the AFP news agency his men were responsible, saying no ceasefire had been announced.
Stability in nuclear-armed Pakistan is seen as important to neighbouring Afghanistan, where US-led NATO troops are pulling out after more than a decade of war.
Washington has said it is watching the talks closely. It has long been pushing Pakistan to take action against armed groups using the tribal areas as a base to attack NATO forces across the border.
One of the TTP's negotiating team, Maulana Abdul Aziz, said on Wednesday that there was no chance of peace unless the government agreed to the armed group's demand for Islamic law to be imposed throughout Pakistan.
The government has insisted that Pakistan's constitution must remain paramount.

Blind Film Critic Reviews Scream 4
So, Scream 4 is apparently a thing, and it's getting lots of mixed reviews (a 53 on Metacritic and a 57% on Rotten Tomatoes). You should ignore all that, though, because those reviewers saw the movie. Instead, you should check out this Scream 4 review by blind movie critic Tommy Edison, who just heard the movie.
Based on the lack of dialogue and the huge amounts of screaming and dramatic music, Tommy concludes that the film fell short in the character development department. The female characters, in particular, basically just complain and scream. Tommy hopes they looked good, at least! Sure, there's some comedy to this review, but it's also amazing how much you can learn about a movie without the visuals.
Dear filmmakers, if there's not enough dialogue to let a blind critic follow the plot, you might be leaning a bit too heavily on images.

How scary ( or even coherent, by the end) would a blind critic find Alien, Psycho, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, or Jaws? Probably not very scary at all. Horror is primarily a visual genre.

Casteel installed a new heating system in my home a year ago and also has inspected/tuned up both of my HVAC systems twice. Casteel technicians are excellent. They are friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable, as is the customer service staff at the office. Casteel offers a great of variety of top-notch HVAC systems at very competitive prices. I will not be using anyone else for my HVAC needs and can highly recommend them!

If you're like me, when I have to call in a professional into my home, I all too often feel as if I might be taken advantage of. Not so with Casteel. I've had a number of interactions with a variety of their team and I can testify "They are who they say they are...customer focused and trusted advisors." They took time and used video and images to show me what was going on in my crawl space, alleviating the need for me to crawl under my home to confirm their findings. I highly recommend them for your heating & AC needs.

I called today to schedule to get a quote on having some plumbing and duct work done and to relocate a water heater. The young lady I spoke to was polite but it seems Casteel has changed things up a bit. It seems they are more focused on sales rather than customer service. She says we charge $89 to come out and give a quote and they will send a licensed plumber but if you schedule now we will come out for $39. With the couple thousand I am about to spend to relocate pipes, ducts and a water heater $39 for a quote is an insult especially when their website has a link to wells fargo finance and states "free quote". They are ruining the brand Bob has worked so hard for many years to create. I have used them in the past for residential and commercial HVAC and they do exceptional work, the best I have ever seen. Just disappointed in the aggressiveness of trying to schedule a quote and ...paying for a quote? Maybe if I go for a job interview in the future I will charge $89 for my time to attend and their consideration to hire me see how that works out for me.

We have used casteelair as our maintenance service for 6 or 7 years, shortly after moving to the area. I have been happy until now. Over the summer the ac maintenance was done and we were told there were so many things wrong with the unit it would have to be replaced. Our home warranty service came out, added freon after clearing clog and the unit is working. I called a few times and was told a manager would call but never did. I got the feeling they are always trying to replace a unit rather than fix it but most of all they demonstrated poor customer service. They never called. Time to find a new company.
I had a totally new system installed a few months ago and a part went bad. They came back and replaced it immediately at no charge. They were on time, clean, and made sure to let me know what was happening each step of the way!
Their pricing was competitive and their technicians could not have been nicer. Recently we had an issue and they came by 10 the next morning. I could tell they did not have anyone available but they bent over backwards to make it happen.
Called back in June requesting Casteel to come out and made it clear that I needed late appointment. Pretty much 6pm or later. Was told no problem and they scheduled me for 7/22. Got a call yesterday and was told window would be 12-6pm. Told them no one would be home before 5pm at the earliest and that I had been specific with that request when I got my appoiment call. Today I got a call today at 2:45pm saying the tech was on the way. Very disappointed in there service. If I had known they could not meet my request at that time would have never scheduled with them.
I have used Casteel for many years. They have always provided GREAT service. No problems have gone unsolved. I would recommend them to anyone!!!!!
We are a nonprofit with multiple HVAC, electrical & plumbing issues. Casteel promptly visited our location, corrected problems and were very reasonable.
Their scheduling system has been down since yesterday, and I'm without air conditioning in July for an entire weekend. Lousy, incompetent business practices.

My upstairs A/C went out on a Saturday and I had someone come out on Monday to take a look. I had Casteel come out on Thursday to give me a quote on replacing the unit. The quote was reasonable and included a year of free maintenance on BOTH of my systems and a 10 year warranty. When they called to schedule the install for Tuesday, I was so disappointed that they couldn't come sooner. I had already been sleeping in the couch for days and now was going to have to continue through the weekend. When I expressed my issue, they offered to bring out a loaner window unit!! When they dropped it off, I realized that the unit was missing a piece to seal off the outside. I called Casteel back and they told me that they'd bring a new unit out after they bought it at Home Depot!! The install team arrived promptly Tuesday morning and the air was working a few hours later. They also helped move the drainage lines outside to help stop the erosion issue is been having. The team picked up after themselves and walked me through all of the documentation. I was so pleased with the level of service that Casteel has a new loyal customer!!
I needed six vents moved as part of a remodel. Got a quote and accepted. The installers showed up and did what I thought was a good job. I paid in full. 30 minutes later I bumped one of the returns and it came off of the main HVAC unit. The installers were unable to come back that day so another date was scheduled. They came and reattached the return. A few days later I discovered that one of the vents had not been moved, but instead a new one added. I called and a return date was scheduled for Wednesday 12-6. At 4:45PM I was called to let me know someone was on their way. Five minutes later I was contacted by the technician who had figured out he was not the right guy to do the work. Home office called me and was unable to send someone out that day, so I wasted a whole day waiting for them to come. This saga is not over yet, so I will probably update later Update 7/7. Casteel sent out their System Design Manager and QA manager this morning. The old vent was removed and the job is now complete. It took 4 visits but in the end they completed the job.
After having several bad experiences with another HVAC company, I did some research and decided to switch to Casteel. I scheduled a routine maintenance for my existing systems and was impressed with the technician. A few months later, I made the decision to finally replace my 35+ year old furnace in the basement and the associated air conditioning unit. Everything seemed fine at first; however, several weeks later my wife heard a slow drip of water coming from the room where the furnace was. The furnace had been installed with a cracked pipe and no pan underneath it, and there was water all over our basement floor that had also seeped into the wall and carpet on the other side of it. I will credit them for fixing the problem and getting a renovation company to dry everything out and do their best to repair the damage. Unfortunately, I can not give them even an average rating for botching the installation in the first place. Installing the system with a crack in the pipe is bad enough, but not even putting a pan underneath it to catch the water for just this type of situation is absolutely inexcusable.

Sugarloaf Mountain (Portuguese: Pão de Açúcar) is a peak situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at the mouth of Guanabara Bay on a peninsula that sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean. Rising 396 meters (1,299 ft) above the harbor, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined loaf sugar. It is known worldwide for its cableway and panoramic views of the city.
The mountain is only one of several monolithic granite and quartz mountains that rise straight from the water's edge around Rio de Janeiro. A glass-walled cablecar (in popular Portuguese, bondinho - more properly called teleférico), capable of holding 65 passengers, runs along a 1400-meter route between the peaks of Pão de Açúcar and Morro da Urca every 20 minutes. The original cable car line was built in 1912 and rebuilt around 1972/1973 and in 2008. The cable car leaves a ground station located at the base of the Babilônia hill, to the Urca hill and then to the Pão de Açúcar.
The name "Sugarloaf" was coined in the 16th century by the Portuguese during the heyday of sugar cane trade in Brazil. According to historian Vieira Fazenda, blocks of sugar were placed in conical molds made of clay to be transported on ships. The shape given by these molds was similar to the peak, hence the name.
1907 - The Brazilian engineer Augusto Ferreira Ramos had the idea of linking the hills through a path in the air.
1910 - The same engineer founded the Society of Sugar Loaf and the same year the works were started. The project was commissioned in Germany and built by Brazilian workers. All parts were taken by climbing mountains or lift by steel cables.
1912 - Opening of the tram. First lift of Brazil. The first cable cars were coated wood and were used for 60 years.
1972 - This year the current template trolley was put into operation. This increased the carrying capacity by almost ten times.
2009 - Inauguration of the next generation of cable cars that had already been purchased and are on display at the base of Red Beach.
To reach the summit, passengers take two cable cars. The first ascends to the shorter Morro da Urca, 220 meters high. The second car ascends to Pão de Açúcar.[1] The Italian-made bubble-shaped cars offer passengers 360-degree views of the surrounding city. The climb takes three minutes from start to finish. Departures are available every 20 minutes between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm and the fare is R$62 for an adult and R$31 for children ages 6-21 round-trip ticket to Pão de Açúcar.[2] A 10% "convenience fee" is added to the ticket price for online orders.[3]
It is no longer possible to hike halfway up to Morro da Urca and then take the cable car up to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. The Morro da Urca ticket office closed December 10, 2013. Hikers who attempt to ride the cable car at Morro da Urca will be turned around and told to hike all the way back down to the bottom station to purchase a ticket.
Visitors can watch rock climbers on Sugarloaf and the other two mountains in the area: Morro da Babilônia (Babylon Mountain), and Morro da Urca (Urca's Mountain). Together, they form one of the largest urban climbing areas in the world, with more than 270 routes, between 1 and 10 pitches long. Some routes on Sugarloaf are:

text: 5 SHE TOLD THE WRONG ONEHONESTBAZ | 12/04/2013 | See all HONESTBAZ's reviews (299)Top 100 Music Reviewer The true story of a little girl with a mother to hate. For some reason,the mother doesn't explain why,the mother hates Cassie and makes it clear that she isn't loved like the other kids.Cassie's father shows love and affection for her,but he's so docile,so timid,that he won't stand up to the mother,which gets frustrating for the reader,but i guess you never truely understand a situation unless you're there.Cassie does have a seemingly nice uncle who she adores for a while,but he soon shows his true colours and becomes detestable. So now Cassie must put up with the mother's lack of love and abundance of verbal abuse,with some physical,aswell as the sexual abuse from the pervert she calls uncle.A disturbing story for sure,as the abuse,power control and mind games etc... goes on to her early twenties.It's another book to get men feeling ashamed for being that sex,but this isn't an attack on them,it's just an honest account of what world she was living in.This is grippingly written,as we find out just where her life went and what secrets destroyed her life further. Of course books of this ilk are upsetting to read,i am not ashamed to say i was teary eyed reading the nasty parts of this,many will cry loads over Cassie's disturbing life,i'm sure.But this is a must read to understand the kind of world victim's like Cassie have to enjure and i thank her for sharing this brutal truth.It appears she went one to have a happier life and i honestly hope it stays that way. All the best Cassie,and remember,you are loved.

Hiking in the Adirondacks
Pigeon Lake Wilderness
West Mountain
At 2902 feet, West Mountain is the highest point in the Pigeon Lake Wilderness of the Adirondacks. The trailhead is located nearby from Brown Tract Pond Campground, along dirt Uncas Road. The trailhead can be tough to locate. The GPS coordinates are N43 49.009 W74 40.341 for those who have a GPS devise.
The hike to the summit of West Mountain is a long five miles one way according to the sign at the trailhead as well as guide books, although our GPS tracks showed a 4.5 mile hike. Either way its a long nine or ten mile round trip hike with an elevation gain of over 1130 feet with most of the gain during the last mile.
A fire tower at one time stood on the summit of West Mountain. With the fire tower gone, the views are limited although a nice narrow view of Raquette Lake can be seen from near the summit.
If your looking for solitude, then this hike is for you as you probably won't see any other person on the trail. If your looking for an easy hike, then stay away from West Mountain. This long hike will take you into a remote section of the Adirondacks and then a steep climb up West Mountain. Be prepared on this adventure.
West Mountain trailhead along Uncas Road
The blue marked West Mountain Trail starts off dirt Uncas Road, where there is parking for just a couple of cars along the side of the road. The trail passes by a register then skirts along the edge of Wadsworth Mountain and then over the shoulder of a smaller hill.
At 1.4 miles the trail joins the Sucker Brook Bay Trail as both trails follow an old road as it crosses Beaver Brook. At 2.2 miles the West Mountain Trail turns left as the Sucker Brook Bay Trail heads straight 400 feet to the shore of Raquette Lake at the head of Sucker Brook Bay. There is a nice view of the north part of the lake here. A nice side trip and a great place to take a break.
Back on the West Mountain Trail, at 2.4 miles a side woods road is passed on the right that leads to a private camp. At 3.0 miles the trail crosses Sucker Brook. At 3.6 miles the trail crosses Stillman Brook. At 4.0 miles the ascent becomes steeper as you are now climbing West Mountain.
The steep climb is along a broad trail and soon your walking on bedrock. The trail reaches a clearing at 4.9 miles with the former observer's cabin foundation. One last short steep climb takes you to the summit at 5.0 miles. The West Mountain Trail ends at the summit, where a view to the southest features Raquette Lake.
At the end of the trail is the junction of the Constable Pond Trail, which leads eight miles to Higby Road near Big Moose Lake, traveling through even more remote sections of the Pigeon Lake Wilderness. Look below for a trail map of the West Mountain Trail.
The West Mountain Trail as well as many of the other trails in Pigeon Lake Wilderness are maintained by the volunteers of the Adirondack Mountain Club-Onondaga Chapter, based out of Syracuse, NY.
