Cozumel: (in Mayan language: Kosom, Lumil, Land of the swallows) is a Mexican island, the third largest and the second most populated in the country. It is located in eastern Mexico, in the Caribbean Sea, sixty-two kilometers from Cancun and constitutes (together with the continental enclaves Calica and Xel-Ha) one of the 11municipalities of the state of Quintana Roo. Located in the Mexican Caribbean, Cozumel is a flat island formed of limestone rock that comes from the reefs.
The most important natural elevation on the island is less than 13 meters above sea level. The cenotes formed by the filtration of water through the limestone for thousands of years can be explored by swimming or through activities such as snorkeling and diving; Different marine species can be appreciated.
The island measures about 48 km from north to south and 14.8 km from east to west, which makes it the third largest island in Mexico after Isla Tiburón in Sonora state and Isla Angel de la Isla in Baja California. Located 20 km east of the eastern littoral of the Yucatan Peninsula, and 60 km south of Cancún
Tulum: This archaeological site is located on the eastern coast of the state of Quintana Roo, in the region known as the Riviera Maya located on the coast 64 km south of Playa del Carmen. The city received in the antiquity the Mayan name of Zamá (that means in Mayan dawn) and the present one, Tulum (that means in Mayan wall), that seems to have been used to refer to the city when it was already in ruins.
Due to the numerous records in murals and other works found in the buildings of the city, it is considered that Tulum was an important center of worship for the so-called "god descending". Located on the coast 64 km south of Playa del Carmen

The ancient Mayans baptized this wonderful place with the name of Xel-Há, which in the Mayan language means "Where the water is born". Because of its privileged position, in pre-Hispanic times, Xel-Há served as a port of refuge, a commercial center, a pilgrimage point and a refuge for sailors, as well as representing a food reserve during bad weather. The legend tells that the Mayan gods united their wisdom, illusions and love for the beautiful, to create a place that would gather the best of nature in one place, which they called Xel-Ha.

While we wait for the Clinton Trump toss up at Hofstra U. tonight, let's look at some data that affects everyone on the continent, ie: manufacturing wages measured in USD since the gloom of 2009 in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. I have been showing for some time now, that Canada's net Federal Direct Investment balance has been negative for nearly 20 years and last year it widened significantly.
The chart above shows that Canadian manufacturing wages have jumped 21% in the last 7 years while in the U.S. they have gone up only 12% and in Mexico they have DROPPED 7% to US$2.10 per hour. (no typo - that's US$2.10/hr)
Canadian households have become highly indebted (168% debt to income) via government insured credit and animal spirit peer pressure. The IMF has been sounding the alarm bell at least since 2011 "Households, however, already have done enough borrowing, at least when it comes to real estate. Any further buildup of debt only risks a painful collapse." That's what they said 5 years ago.
Canadians are just $200 away from being overwhelmed by debt, new survey finds Financial Post September 28, 2016
> Calgary-based MNP LLP, said 56 per cent of those polled — up from 48 per cent surveyed six months ago — are close to facing negative cash flow should they take on up to another $200 in monthly debt.
>The online survey of of 1,502 Canadians conducted between Sept. 6 and Sept. 12 also found 31 per cent are already not paying their bills on time, making them technically insolvent, MNP says.
> A survey this month from TransUnion found 718,000 Canadians can't even absorb a 25-basis point increase in interest rates without being in a negative cash flow situation. One percentage point would drive 917,000 over the edge, the credit rating agency found.
> In another recent study, the Canadian Payroll Association said 48 per cent of Canadians couldn't make ends meets if they missed just one paycheque – a dire picture of a country living paycheque-to-paycheque.
> MNP said there is some positive news about debt costs. More Canadians now say they are concerned about their debt: 52 per cent, up from 43 per cent six months ago.
The latest sales/inventory ratio suggests that the risk of sentiment change is occurring in Vancouver (not yet in Toronto); but our very high labour cost relative to our U.S. and Mexican trade channels is going to put pressure on the Bank of Canada and the Federal Government to let the CAD/USD continue dropping (Bloomberg May 2016) "Currency depreciations would help many of the U.S.'s G7 partners (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK, & EU) a lot while hurting the U.S. little, if at all. In other words, a G7 currency war would be fine as long as the U.S. remained a pacifist."
A lower CAD/USD will help Canadian exporters to some degree but not enough to compete directly with Mexico and other low labour cost and low-bar regulatory regimes (China, Vietnam, Indonesia etal). A lower CAD/USD will also put more inflationary pressure on import costs into Canada reducing disposable consumer income that will affect consumption of domestic services including the demand for credit while debt repayment schedules may have to have their amortization terms lengthened especially if earnings growth slows.
ITEM: BlackBerry Abandons Its Phone New York Times September 28, 2016 - In recent years, BlackBerry has cut thousands of jobs and closed several operating centers, including one in this city (Halifax), over the last three years. A company spokeswoman declined to discuss any future layoffs.
A lower CAD/USD will not be favourable to the foreign buyers of Canadian real estate who purchased in the last 7 years if their own currencies do not drop as much as the CAD. Will they continue to hold a wasting asset that produces a negative cash flow?
The hysterical mania of buying real estate in Canada will come to an end when we see listing inventories rise, perhaps in 1Q 2017 if a shift from greed to fear manifests.
"Vancouver in Canada has been identified by Swiss bank UBS as the global financial center with the riskiest housing bubble."
"Currently, house prices in Vancouver seem clearly out of step with economic fundamentals, and are in bubble risk territory."

Fitness Log: 2/8/2014 -- Workout Buddies
If you read any fitness magazines or blogs, you probably come across the age-old piece of advice "Work out with a Buddy" all the time. You probably see it all the time because it's true.
This morning, I worked out with a new friend/neighbor. We actually don't know each other very well but we dove into a workout together anyways and it turned out beautifully. She is just as casually competitive as I am and gives her workouts maximum effort - just what I needed to see. No excuses - just go.
Elliptical - Level 5, 30 minutes
Biceps Curl - 10 reps x 3 sets @ 30lbs
Triceps Extension - 10 reps x 3 sets @ 30lbs
Seated Row - 10 reps x 3 sets @ 45lbs
Shoulder Press - 7 reps x 3 sets @ 30lbs
Chest Press - 7 reps x 3 sets @ 30lbs
We also did some ab work on the floor. Simple crunches, leg lifts, side plank lifts. What a great workout!
Do you have a workout buddy? How do you keep each other motivated?
Keep Moving!

Fitness Log: 2/4/2014 - Bob Harper Simple Workout
While difficult to get out of bed in the morning, it's even more difficult to convince myself to really kill it in a workout. However, I find that starting my day with jumping jacks wakes me right up! So I bounded out of bed this morning, did a set of 20 jumping jacks and thought, "Hmmm, I remember some short form workout on Pinterest that started with jumping jacks."

Fitness Log: 2/2/2014 Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown
A few days (ahem, a week) has passed since my last fitness log. I have been doing light workouts but not anything worth noting. By "light workouts", I mean a few reps of push-ups and skinny-dippers here and there. I could use the excuse that I haven't had time to work out, but the reality is I haven't been making time to work out. I let stress get to me this week and wallowed in it. I decided to change that today.
This morning, I revisited Jillian Michaels: Yoga Meltdown. I found the combination of breathing techniques and dynamic movements the perfect mix to realign my body and my mind.
Stress is difficult for most people to manage - I get that. I see to struggle more than others and it greatly affects my health and my life. I become sluggish and unmotivated. However, once I get my butt off the couch and work out, all seems better with the world. I need to remember this feeling the next time I'm stressed and don't want to work out. I need to change the word "want" to "need".
Hope you are all going into the next week right. Tell me: What do you do to manage your stress?
Keep Moving!

Gilbert Farmers Market :: My Waffle Crush
Doesn't that just look amazing?!?!?! This tasty treat was brought to you by My Waffle Crush, a food truck in Gilbert, AZ. We met today at the Gilbert Farmers Market. Looking for the perfect 8:00 AM treat, my husband and I decided to give them a try.
I was a little nervous about the cream. It looked like a scoop of ice cream but instead was incredibly light and fluffy. The waffle was perfectly crisp and I'm not sure what Biscoff is or is made of but man, that really made the dish. From the outside, the Berry waffle looks incredibly sweet, but in fact, it was just sweet enough. I was almost sad we only bought one until I realized how filling it was!
I'm definitely a new My Waffle Crush food truck stalker and can't wait to taste the other options on the menu. Have you had My Waffle Crush? What did you think?

I felt the need to spend a couple of days in Porthmadog, where Harbour Station is the common terminus for one end of both railways. Each is two foot gauge, each is steam hauled, but they have very different characters.
The Ffestiniog is a one-time gravity worked slate railway (later converted to steam), bringing the product down from the Blaenau Ffestiniog quarries to the sea at Porthmadog for shipping to UK and world markets.
The Welsh Highland was a short lived conglomeration of narrow gauge lines between Porthmadog and Dinas, on the north coast of Wales. It failed in the early years of the last century, but was, amazingly, re-incarnated by the Ffestiniog Railway several years ago, extended at both ends beyond its original limits, and now runs from the same Harbour Station as the Ffestiniog Railway, to Caernarfon on the North Wales coast.
I booked a hotel in Porthmadog for two nights commencing Monday 12th June, and bought a train ticket Wilmslow to Porthmadog return (£29 for one of the most scenic rail journeys in UK; far cheaper than the petrol I'd use if I drove; and so much more enjoyable! Who says UK has high rail fares?).
Please click on any picture for a larger image.
Approaching Fairbourne on the Cambrian Coast line in an Arriva Wales train from Shrewsbury to Pwllheli, which I will ride as far as Porthmadog
Barmouth, a little further up the Cambrian Coast line
That afternoon I was seated in the train about to ascend the Ffestiniog Railway line to Blaenau Ffestiniog, and back. Our locomotive, Double Fairlie 'David Lloyd George', having coaled and watered, here makes its way past my carriage window to the head of the train.
The locomotive was built in 1992 at the railway's Boston Lodge works, and is the most recent Double Fairlie locomotive in the world and also the most powerful locomotive on the railway. It was originally built to burn oil rather than coal. It was returned to service in May 2014 following overhaul, fitting of new power bogies, and conversion to coal firing.
Very welcome on a warm afternoon; Welsh Farmhouse Cider served by on board stewards at table. Note the map of both the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railways etched into the table top.
As the train climbs from the coast up the continuous grade towards its upper terminus, the views over the Vale of Ffestiniog open out
The railway is built on a constant gradient falling towards the coast, as it was originally gravity-worked; trains of slate wagons ran down to the sea by gravity alone, under the control of a brakesman. The horse that would haul the empty wagons back up to the slate quarry rode in a horse wagon on the back of the train. A result is that line zig-zags its way down the valley side to maintain the constant gradient, so I was able to photograph our locomotive (above) from my seat on the train.
In the 1950s, before the railway was restored, a hydro electric power station was built near Tanygrisiau. Its reservoir flooded the original track bed and in the 1960s and early '70s the railway built a 'deviation' around the flooded section incorporating a spiral to gain height, and a new tunnel to replace the flooded one. The original track bed can be seen (above) entering the northern end of the reservoir.
The power station reservoir seen from its dam. The power station itself can be seen on the right shore of the reservoir, our train have just passed behind it to reach this point.
At the Blaenau Ffestiniog terminus, 'David Lloyd George' runs around its train for the journey back down to Porthmadog
Before coupling onto the train, the locomotive takes on water to replenish its tanks. The fireman has to clamber up to wrap the 'bag;' (canvas water pipe) around the water crane after use, presumably to keep it out of the reach of vandals.
On the Double Fairlie, the driver stands on the right, the fireman on the left, with the one-piece boiler passing between them through the cab. The loco has two fireboxes, both on the fireman's side, and two injectors, one on each side. It also has two regulators, one for each power bogie.
The Ffestiniog abounds in lovely detail, like these highly varnished benches on the station platforms. They must have quite a number of dedicated volunteers.
Back at Porthmadog, 'David Lloyd George' is uncoupled from the train to run forward to the coaling and watering point. When the incoming Welsh Highland Railway train arrived at Porthmadog from Caernarfon, its Garratt locomotive was coupled to the Double Fairlie, and pair set off across the Cob to Boston Lodge for disposal.
Here is a video of that Welsh Highland train from Caernarfon arriving in Porthmadog, and crossing the Britannia road bridge into Harbour Station:
Next morning (Tuesday 13th) I was back at Harbour station for a trip on the Welsh Highland Railway to its Caernarfon terminus and back. Before my train's stock was shunted into the station I watched the departure of the first Ffestiniog train to Blaenau. Here, Double Fairlie 'Iarll Merionnydd' moves up from the coaling bay to position onto its train.
'Iarll Merionnydd' or 'Earl of Merioneth' was built in 1979, the first Double Fairlie built by the restored Ffestiniog Railway, and the only one of its kind to deviate from the classic design with the cuboid side tanks.
Its days are numbered as it is soon to be withdrawn. Its bogies will be removed for use on New-build double Fairlie "James Spooner".
The Fairlie's cab; the reversing lever is prominent in the foreground (on the driver's side of the cab), while the two regulators (one for each power bogie) can be seen atop the boiler. The boiler pressure gauge is on the forward cab wall, and the driver's boiler water gauge glass can just be seen to the right of the cab, obvious by its black and white striping which makes the water level much easier to see (the diagonal stripes are refracted to horizontal by the presence of water in the glass - or not!).
The Garratts on the Welsh Highland are repatriated ex-South African Railways, most being built in Gorton, east Manchester. Here is our Garratt for the day, no. 87. This one was built by Belgian company Société Anonyme John Cockerill
The signalman chats to the Fairlie's driver just before departure
The Ffestiniog train having departed, our Garratt brings the Welsh Highland stock out of the siding to position it in the platform
Being outside the school holiday season, the trains were not too full. Here is the interior of our Welsh Highland coach.
Our turn to cross the Britannia road bridge, northbound across Snowdonia bound for Caernarfon
On the northern outskirts of Porthmadog the Welsh Highland two-foot gauge tracks cross the Network Rail standard gauge lines (four foot eight and a half inches, above) on a flat crossing. In reinstating the long derelict Welsh Highland Line, the Ffestiniog Railway Company performed many seeming miracles, such as reclaiming disused track bed from farmers who had used it for field access for decades. Not least of their achievements was establishing this flat crossing across Network Rail's main line from Pwllheli to Machynlleth and the associated signalling complications to ensure safe train separation between operations on the two railways.
Here is a video of our train leaving the Glaslyn estuary and beginning the climb to Pont Croesor:

Here is a video of our train setting off from Nantmor, the second station north from Porthmadog:
Last time I travelled this line I had superb weather with great views of Snowdon summit. Not today though, with low cloud over the mountains.
A Garratt in kit form! This dis-assembled locomotive is awaiting attention, stored by the sheds at Dinas.
A Garratt and a castle; our locomotive detached from its train at the Caernarfon terminus, ready to run-around for the return journey.
The station at Caernarfon is temporary, as construction of a new station on the same site is about to commence.
This overhead view of our loco and train at Caernarfon shows how the Garratt's front power bogie carries the water tank while the rear one carries coal as well, the locomotive itself being suspended between the two bogies
'Girl on a train'. At a passing loop on the return journey we passed the Porthmadog - Caernarfon train.
A glimpse of the sea to the south as we approach the Aberglaslyn Pass on our descent from the mountains of Snowdonia to Porthmadog
Here is a video of our train crossing the Britannia road bridge and entering Harbour Station, Porthmadog, this time filmed from the train:
On the morning of Wednesday 14th I walked to Porthmadog station to catch the 09:52 train home. Here's a different view of that flat crossing, where the two foot gauge Welsh Highland line crosses the standard gauge Network Rail line, this time photographed from the Arriva Wales train to Machynlleth and on to Shrewsbury. Note the gates across the narrow gauge line.
Barmouth bridge, viewed from the train on the journey south along the glorious Cambrian Coast line.
From Machynlleth the Arriva Wales class 158 picked up its skirts and sped to Talerddig passing loop on the faster mid Wales line, where we stopped to allow the opposite direction train to pass (all these Welsh lines are single track). After that brief stop we were soon up to speed again, stopping at Caersws, Newtown, and Welshpool before I left the train at Shrewsbury. After a wait in the station it continued on its way to Birmingham International.
Another Arriva Wales train took me to Wilmslow from Shrewsbury, one of the comfortable class 175 units on a South Wales to Manchester service. I was there by 14:45, in nice time for the 14:54 No.88 bus from the station to home.

Vitrocell Systems Finds Growing Interest During EUROTOX 2007
|(Nanowerk News) VITROCELL® SYSTEMS finds during EUROTOX 2007 growing interest in its in vitro cultivation and exposure systems for the analysis of the effects of nano particles.
|The 44th Congress of the European Societies of Toxicology was held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and closed yesterday on 10. October 2007.
|More than 700 scientific presentations were held on various topics such as the newest developments in toxicogenomics, alternatives for animals testing, risk assessment, immunotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, environmental toxicity, genotoxicity and carcinogenesis, endocrine disruption, molecular toxicology, signal transduction, the risks of nanotechnology, REACH and idiosyncratic effects.
|VITROCELL® SYSTEMS participated in the exhibition and presented its broad product program of equipment for the in vitro analysis of airborne substances such as gases, nano particles and complex mixtures.
|Key interest was shown in the VITROCELL® technology for the exposure of lung epithelial cells to nano materials at the air/liquid interface. Frequently these materials are just added to the cell culture medium which is according to VITROCELL® SYSTEMS a method giving relatively low sensitivity due to interaction of the particles with the medium. In using the VITROCELL® direct exposure technology, the cells are first cultivated on membrane inserts (e. g. ThinCerts® from Greiner, Costar® from Corning or Falcon® from Becton Dickenson). The membrane inserts are placed in the VITROCELL® modules which are tempered at 37°C. The medium supply is performed either static or by permanent exchange so that the cells receive the cell culture medium from below through the membrane of the insert. The special aerosol inlets of the module are from stainless steel with a PFA-based surface treatment and deliver the particles to the cells by a low vacuum flow. As the cells are not covered with medium, they are exposed in the most efficient way at air/liquid interface. The same technological approach can be applied also to bacteria.
|VITROCELL® SYSTEMS supplies in addition the required aerosol generators as well as turnkey installations. The customers of VITROCELL® SYSTEMS are leading medical and environmental research institutes as well as the pharmaceutical and other industries.

Tsukimi is an otaku and jellyfish enthusiast whose only means of coping with the world is to reject it: she and her friends live in a house they declare a man-free zone, generally avoid 'stylish people', and spend their days blissfully bonding over geeky rituals. As misfortune would have it, their convenient existence is about to be turned on its head by the arrival of Kuranosuke, a seemingly beautiful young woman who is actually a beautiful young man. While he may be strange even by their standards, Kuranosuke embodies everything Tsukimi secretly dreams of being - a princess as ethereal as a floating jellyfish - and promises the kind of mind-boggling adventures only possible when geek meets chic!

Every anime menu needs its light, bubbly relief, and in one of the driest years for decent shows, Kuragehime's plot about geeks, fashion, and cross-dressers is diet cola. An unabashedly insubstantial plot aided by cliché sweeteners helps this go down oh so easily. Fashionable cross-dresser ... read more

Deadfall Adventures: New Screenshots Show Off Nice Looking Game
New screenshots and cover art for Deadfall Adventures have been released.
Nordic Games today revealed the cover art as well as new screenshots for their blockbuster release of Deadfall Adventures, out on the Xbox 360 and Windows PC September 27th. In keeping with the style of Deadfall Adventures, the beautifully created cover-art takes its inspiration from the Lost World genre of literature, popularized in the early 20th century through novels such as King Solomon's Mines and The Land That Time Forgot, which depicted the discovery of unexplored and exotic worlds. The cover art also pays tribute to the science fiction and adventure pulp magazines of the same era that gave rise to one of the greatest treasure hunters and pulp action heroes of all time – Indiana Jones.
Developed using Unreal Engine 3, Deadfall Adventures is full of spectacular jaw-dropping moments, as players battle natural and not-so-natural enemies across stormy deserts of Egypt to the icy depths of the Arctic and all the way to the steaming jungles of Guatemala. Assuming the role of adventurer Quatermain, players will encounter fiendish puzzles, deadly traps and stunning set pieces, making this one of the greatest adventures ever told – let alone played.
For more information on the Deadfall Adventures like the game on Facebook or follow on Twitter.

California customers: Please click here foryour Proposition 65 warning.
The secret to the phenomenal resolution and extension offered by MrSpeakers' flagship Ether C Flow closed-back planar-magnetic headphones resides with TrueFlow technology. Compensating for the masked low-level detail caused by the turbulence generated by magnets, TrueFlow fills in the area between the magnets with perforated material, allowing drivers to move air through a flat surface devoid of angles. You'll hear significant increases in transparency, detail, and dynamics – particularly when compared to Ether C. Clarity and soundstaging are reminiscent of that provided by electrostatic models. Bass and mids also teem with energy and immediacy.
Accompanied by a DUM cable with the termination of your choice (simply select from the drop-down menu), Ether C Flow is defined by what it doesn't do more than what it does. Namely, these U.S.A.-built 'phones don't set out to deliver the last word in any particular sonic area. Rather, Ether C Flow provides an escape-worthy blend of the entire spectrum, producing musical experiences focused on wholeness, naturalism, and truthfulness. MrSpeakers' ultra-rigid carbon fiber cups allow for an amazingly "open" sound in a closed headphone. Balanced weight distribution, lamb-leather ear pads, and an ultra-light NiTinol "memory metal" headband supply leave-on-for-hours comfort. Audition with the security of our 100% Music Direct Guarantee and get ready to enjoy 'phones that will continue to rack up raves from the international audiophile press.
"...the most neutral sealed headphone in the category."
– Inner Fidelity
"Taken as simply a new headphone without respect to previous versions (as it should be), the Ether C Flow is a phenomenal performing effort and has clearly raised the bar for planar magnetic headphones."
– Headphone.Guru
"The Ether is a whole lot of high-end headphone goodness for the money: deep-sea illumination, righteous dynamics, immersive, airy."
– Digital Audio Review, DAR-KO Award
Slip on a Pair of Ether and Revel in the Comfort
Ether headphones are renowned for their fit. With a nearly ideal weight distribution and Italian lamb-leather ear pads, they can be worn for hours without fatigue. Ether won't move around on your head with normal usage, but neither will they leave your jaw and ears aching from clamping force.

After playing as the Yellowjackets in the United States Amateur Hockey Association, ownership wanted a higher profile name so he changed the name to Pirates upon realizing the similar colors they had to Pittsburgh's baseball team.

Historical Moments:
1925/26: The Pittsburgh Pirates one of two new American teams to join the NHL a year after the Boston Bruins became the first American based NHL team. The Pirates roots go back to 1915 when they were the Amateur Pittsburgh Yellowjackets. The Yellowjackets played in the USAHA (United States Amateur Hockey Association.) After winning the USAHA Championship in 1924 and 1925 the Yellowjackets are sold to attorney James F. Callahan who wanted to get the team into a professional league. The NHL would grant the renamed Pirates "semi-expansion" status their first season. On November 26th the Pirates, who had ten former Yellowjackets on their roster beat the Boston Bruins on the road in their very first game. Two nights late the Pirates would stun the Canadiens in Montreal 1-0 in what would end up being legendary Habs goalie George Vezina's final game. The Pirates, who were the first team to change players on the fly, would go on to finish in third place with a record of 19-16-1. In the playoffs the Pirates would be beaten by the eventual Stanley Cup Champion Montreal Maroons.
1926/27: As the NHL got sole possession of the Stanley Cup the NHL adds three more American franchises and sets up an American Division. In their second season the Pirates would struggle missing the playoffs with a record of 15-26-3. The highlight of the season came on December 26th when the Pirates and New York Americans combined for a single game record 141 shots. The Americans would win 3-1 as the Pirates made 68 of the history making total.
1927/28: In their third season the Pirates made it back into the playoffs by finishing in third place with a record of 19-17-8. However, in the playoffs the Pirates would be beaten by the New York Rangers in a total goal series 6-4. As their 4-2 win in Game 2 could not overcome a 4-0 white washing that they suffered in Game 1. Following the season the Pirates who were facing a financial crunch were forced to sell off several off their top players. The team itself would also be sold as an ownership group which included Benny Leonard, a fight promoter and ex-lightweight boxing champion purchased the team.
1928/29: Under new management the Pirates struggled finishing in fourth place with a woeful record of 9-27-6.
1929/30: Hit hard by the October stock market crash, the Pirates who were now wearing Orange and Black uniforms would win just five games on the season as they finished in last place with a league worst 5-36-3. With the Steel industry struggling, the Pirates owners were $400,000 in debt as they sought permission to move to Philadelphia with the possibility of returning to Pittsburgh if a new arena was built.
1967/68: The Great Depression would devastate the NHL as four teams were forced to fold leaving behind just six teams. The NHL would play with six teams for 25 years before deciding to expand in 1967, with a team added to Pittsburgh named the Penguins.

Canal Winchester residents and guests will get a taste of Shakespeare and a meal fit for a king or queen Feb. 15 and 16 when the Canal Winchester High School Performing Arts Department presents the 25th annual Madrigal Dinner Theater.
Canal Winchester residents and guests will get a taste of Shakespeare and a meal fit for a king or queen Feb. 15 and 16 when the Canal Winchester High School Performing Arts Department presents the 25th annual Madrigal Dinner Theater.
Director Todd Phillips said the event started as an opportunity to give students a chance to do a show in the middle of the winter.
It has evolved into a sell-out production that involves 120 students in period costumes performing instrumental and vocal music from the mid-1500s through the mid-1600s.
Shakespeare's comedy As You Like It and the professionally catered dinner will begin at 7 p.m. Feb. 15 and at 2 p.m. Feb. 16. at the high school cafeteria, 300 Washington St.
However, the entertainment actually begins about 45 minutes prior to show time, Phillips said.
"The audience is getting a great meal and a really entertaining evening of theater, music, dance, and the joy of watching kids do this really, really incredible work that admittedly not a lot of schools will even attempt," he said.
Audience members aren't the only ones who gain from the evening, according to Phillips.
"They (students) get the opportunity to really dig into a playwright, like Shakespeare, understand what he was doing and understand what his stories were about, and learn how to really perform them, so the audience can connect with them -- that it is just not a bunch of random, pretty words," he said.
CWHS junior Mikayla Boise performed as an instrumentalist in a previous Madrigal show, but this year's production will be her first as an actor.
She said the experience has helped with her understanding of Shakespeare.
"Before I just read it and kind of understood it in English class, but now, just being able to act it out, I can definitely connect more with it," she said. "When I read Shakespeare in class, I'm definitely the one to understand it more."
Boise said performing in the annual event "has helped me grow a lot in public speaking."
Jacob Brown, a sophomore, also will be acting in the Madrigal event for the first time. He agreed that the opportunity to perform in a Shakespeare play carries over to his knowledge in the classroom.
"I definitely learned what acting is like and it is really fun," Brown said. "I also learned a lot about Shakespeare and what he was really about and not just the tragedies we read in English."
Tickets must be purchased in advance from choir students or by calling 614-836-1448.
Tickets cost $20 each for the Saturday, Feb. 15, performance, which will include a five-course meal.
Tickets for the Sunday, Feb. 16, performance and four-course luncheon cost $15 each.

The sky began to lighten as Hemming Wulfgarson readied his pack for the long trip ahead. His fathers old Huscarl, Fafnir Svafrlamirson, was sharpening his axe while the young Bondi, Oleg Vikarson, thanked the Farmer for his hospitality. Hemming's head swam at the thought of how he had gone from inheriting his fathers lands to exile in just two short seasons.
Wulfgar had died from age and illness in the Summer of 985. Hemming had taken over as Jarl and his brother Dag had inherited a few farmsteads to the north. Hemming remained a loyal supporter of the King, Haakon Thrandson, and all was well. This continued through the fall and winter of that year and it wasn't until shortly after the new year, in the Spring of 986, that things all began to go horribly wrong.
First the King had died suddenly and without an heir. All the Jarls were quickly called to the capital and the factions began to jockey for support. Hemming had sided with the Jarls of the Western Province in backing a distant relative of King Haakon. Those from the East backed the Grandson of the King before Haakon. They were at an impasse and it looked as if the country would be torn by civil war. It was at this point that Aun Bjarnisson pulled Hemming aside. He said he had a way to make a deal with the Eastern Jarls but he needed Hemming to go a get Odin's Godi, Stakard Svafrlamirson, to quickly coronate the new heir before they had a chance to change their minds. In order for this to work, Aun explained, Hemming's brother Dag would have to be present to cast his vote while Hemming brought the priest.
The road had been hard and Hemming had been waylaid by bandits, but two days later he brought Stakard to the Council chambers. It was then he learned he had been duped. Aun's sly tongue had fooled him and preyed upon his brothers sympathy for the Eastern Jarls. Dag had cast the deciding vote for the candidate of the Western Jarls. They then claimed that Hemming had kidnapped the Godi to prevent the coronation. Rather than further shame his family name or challenge his beloved brother to combat, Hemming accepted the penalty of exile.
Now he would follow the winds to fame and fortune and cut a swath across the fat belly of the decadent southern lands. If he could make it out of Mirholme alive.

Marc Deon Free Fall Rmxs
San Francisco-based Marc Deon brings us a versatile EP with remixes by Chad Mitchell, Tapio Schnaars and Audiovoid. Audiovoid's remix brings a bumpin', tech-trance flavor to the track. Lindsey Green goes with a minimal approach, but I keep waiting for something to grab me about it. The tech-housey mix by Chad funks it out solidly, while Tapio works it into a deep, pretty groove with jazzy elements.

GAA: One More Time
Mayo live to fight another day in their quest to end 65 years of hurt after coming back into one of the most thrilling All Ireland finals in history after the unluckiest of starts.
Stephen Rochford's men were arguably the better team for the whole 70 minutes, plus seven of stoppage time, against a lacklustre Dublin.
But many will argue that Jim Gavin's men are unlikely to play as poorly again, while Mayo still have some fine-tuning to do if they are to claim the Sam Maguire that Aidan O'Shea and his Mayo teammates so desperately covet.
Apart from conceding the two own goals in the first half, the Connacht men held the country's most devastating attacking team scoreless from play for the opening half an hour. But Rochford said that they wouldn't be feeling sorry for themselves and would regroup to work on their game to come back with the best chance of winning the next day, saying that it was now only 'half-time'.
"You don't feel sorry for yourself. We said we weren't going to have regrets about certain things that would happen during the course of the year and during the course of the game," he said. "Some days you get a decision or you don't get a decision; you get a lucky goal, you get unlucky. Things happen. It's 70 minutes, it's not a defining moment so for us it's half-time."
Meanwhile Gavin demanded more from his players, saying that they hadn't deserved to win. "we're just happy to be leaving the ground this evening with the opportunity to try and go at it again in two weeks' time," he said.
"It's not to the standards that we would go after. But I think over the expanse of the game, the full 70 minutes, we just didn't perform to our standards. We didn't deserve to win."
Ticket windfall for GAA
The GAA also announced that they are reducing the entrance fee for the replay, on 1st October at 5pm, as it is estimated the association will pocket an extra €3 million from the extra game. Tickets will be available for the reduced price of €60, while admission to Hill 16 will cost €30.
Stand tickets for Sunday's 2-09 to 0-15 draw between Dublin and Mayo were priced at €80 with terrace tickets selling for €40. In addition, there will be a limited number of €10 tickets available for Under 16s from the competing counties only.
There will be no tickets on general sale.
Tickets will be distributed to clubs via county committees and to 6,700 GAA Season Ticket holders from competing counties (including 1300 juveniles).
The replay means there will be more tickets distributed to Dublin and Mayo as there is no minor final replay to take place, taking away the allocation that was needed for that match last weekend.
Some have argued the reduction is not enough as the All Ireland Hurling Final replay of 2014 is recalled, when the second outing between Kilkenny and Tipperary saw stand tickets reduced to €50 and Hill 16 tickets to just €25.

The current population in Sweden is 9,103,788 with a growth rate of about 0.168%. Sweden is not overpopulated. The immigration rate is 0.86 per 1,000 populations and the migration rate is 1.66% per 1,000 populations. So there is more people leaving Sweden then coming in. There are no government policies regarding population growth. Sweden's population density is one of the lowest in Europe with only about 20 people per square kilometer (Encyclopedia of the Nations). The birth and death rate are almost the same but the death rate is just a little smaller, this is why the growth rate is so low. Due to Sweden's cold northern climate, most of the population lives in the south, and Sweden has an 85% urban population. Sweden has about 8,100 people living with HIV or AIDS. Sweden's medical advances have ket them healthy; they have a infant mortality rate of 4 deaths per 1,000 births. Sweden's maternal mortality rate is 2.74 deaths/100,000 live births.
Sweden's population density.
Chad's population is 10,975,648 with a 1,259,200 sq km land area. Chad is overpopulated. Only about 1% of Chad's population lives in the upper half of the country extending into the Sahara desert, the rest live in the south where there is better rainfall making farming easier. Population density varies between 0.15 persons per square kilometer in the north and 61.7 persons per square kilometer in the south (Encyclopedia of the Nations). The birth rate is almost twice the amount of the death rate which is why they have a pretty good growth rate being at almost 2%. Chad has 210,000 people living with HIV or AIDS. This is because Chad doesn't have the advancements, such as contraceptives, to help prevent these diseases. Chad also has a much higher birth rate than Sweden which is also due to the lack of contraceptives. Chad has very poor living conditions. Chad's life expectancy is about 49 years. Sadly, the chance of a baby surviving is pretty slim with there being 93.61 deaths/1,000 live births. Chad's maternal mortality rate is 1,100 deaths/100,000 live births, Chad's maternal mortality rate is very high again because of poor living conditions and medical advancements.
Chad's population density.
Sweden's net-migration is 1.65 (The World Factbook). There is some internal migration in Sweden. In the 19th and early 20th centuries about1.3 million Swedes left Sweden (Swedish Roots). There is always going to be obstacles when it comes to leaving a country and coming into a country. Such as getting citizenship to that country or even finding a place to live. There's not that much movement to the north in Sweden because most people live in the south because there's better climate, but there is some movement from the north to the south because of the climate. Some push factors in Sweden were things like searching for a new job; another would be something like mandatory military services. A main pull factor would be job relocation (Swedish Roots).
Chad's net migration is -3.74 (The World Factbook). In Chad, there were many people leaving during the civil war in 1979 but today there are constantly people coming in and out (Chad- Migration). People in Chad are usually not moving that much because of farming but if the conditions are bad or they have run out of resources and have to relocate. The main push factor of Chad is health: issues such as scarce food, low amounts of clean water, and not many doctors to treat for full families (Encyclopedia of Nations). There aren't too many pull factors for Chad.
Some people in Chad have to move to different areas because of unsafeness or dry farmland.

Google Still #1 Traffic Source For Most Of Top 30 Websites — Report
This may surprise no one: Google is the leading source of traffic for 23 of the top 30 websites. That's according to Citi analyst Mark Mahaney in a document released yesterday to clients.
Based on underlying comScore data, the report analyzes visits to the top five websites in several verticals: Media, Retail, Travel, Auto, Finance and Health. It doesn't discuss the impact or relative position of Facebook at all, possibly because Facebook is not yet a public company.
Mahaney points out that Google's retention of the position of top traffic referrer is an accomplishment in a marketplace that is so "fluid" and intensely competitive.
The report has a number of key findings, which I've distilled here:
Google ranked as the #1 source of traffic for 23 of the top 30 Websites. "By contrast, the #2 (Yahoo!) and #3 (Microsoft) influencers accounted for 11 percent and 6 percent of traffic to the top 30 Websites."
Google's "influence is [very slowly] slipping": Mahaney said that "Google has gone from delivering 17 percent of all the
traffic to the top 30 Websites in 2010 and 2011 to 16 percent in 2012." The one vertical studied in which Google's influence has waned considerably is Heath (see chart above).
Yahoo and Microsoft's traffic is flat: the report said that "Yahoo!'s and Microsoft's share of traffic "has remained
essentially flat from 2010 to 2012." This is regarded as a surprise on both counts.
Mahaney said that flat traffic is positive for Yahoo given the market's perception of the company/site as a "deteriorating asset." By contrast this is "arguably something of a negative surprise [for Microsoft] . . . given signs of Bing Search market share gains."
We're listening.

Klipgat Cave
Photographer's website: http://www.flickr.com/people/benhaeringer/
loading map...
- Summary
Among the many caves along the Walker Bay coastline is one of incredible cultural importance, the Klipgat Cave. This cave is salient due to the artifacts that have been found there demonstrating the existence of Stone Age life (over 70,000 years ago) on a local scale. At the moment, there are plans in progress to make it more of a tourist venue by adding decks and viewing areas. Until then, it retains the sense of authenticity most adventure seekers are looking for. Check out the included Gansbaii tourism resource for further information on this and other nearby attractions.
Location:Walker Bay, De Kelders, South Africa

It's finally here. The day we've all dreamt about. Barack Obama is the next president! I'm so proud to be living in the States right now. I'm so genuinely happy to be part of this event. It's something I and many others will remember for the rest of our lives. My belief in the general sanity of the American people has been restored.
One thing that has become clear is that Obama's presidency will probably take away from the overwhelming success of political comedy. Shows like SNL, The Daily Show, and Colbert Report will no longer have an endless supply of ammo with which to entertain us. Sometimes their jobs were just too easy. No editorial or literary genius was required — Tina Fey could simply quote Palin's words line by line and it would make a great skit.
If you stop and think about the ramifications of Obama becoming president, you will quickly be overwhelmed. Putting aside all the positive changes his own policies will bring about — the side effects are going to be powerful in their own right. The general reaction to Obama's victory across the globe has been overwhelmingly positive. It is very heartening, and to a large extent, a relief. Finally the reputation of the United States will get some healing. The world may finally avert its course toward global hatred of America.
Along with the dominoe effect of global perception comes the internal effect of national perception. Students, lawyers, writers and people from all industries suddenly want to go to Washington. They want to be part of this government. They want to contribute. This sort of spirit has not been seen since the days of JFK. It is something that should be converted into direct action — and as a friend of mine pointed out, the onus lies on Obama to direct people by providing specific calls to action. Obama has an army of people willing to do anything to fix this country. It is so wonderful to know that he is just the man to lead them.
We all watched this election very closely. All the articles, interviews, debates, and the speeches took our attention for many months now. Today, I learned that Edward Norton has been documenting the Obama campaign trail for years. He has kept his production company's work a secret, to avoid fueling the "Obama is a celebrity" bullshit angle. I personally am a fan of Norton's work, and I am really looking forward to this film. It should be an excellent relation of one of the most inspiring stories of our time.
