My current googling keep pulling up info about the former unfound cache, 4.5lb Walleye, which is not much help. I'm curious how this earthcache fares in terms of loneliness.

*Ray Bourque was co-captain of the Bruins with Rick Middleton from 1985-1988.

*Eric Staal is the longest-tenured captain of the Hurricanes, however, Ron Francis served as captain while the franchise was in Hartford from the 1984-85 season to the 1990-91 season. Francis returned as captain (of the Hurricanes, not the Whalers) in the 1999-2000 season, remaining in that position until the end of the 2003-04 season.

*Joe Sakic became captain of the Nordiques in the 1992-93 season, three years prior to their relocation to Denver.

Basically just the above. In the article I read about Abe's retirement it was noted that he is now the record holder for longest term in office. I saw this and assumed he would have served something like 20 years but when I looked into it, Japan seems to have rapid turn overs of power, with terms under 1 year unexceptional. What is the historical/cultural reason for this? I believe in most countries the incumbent has the advantage whereas this seems to be the opposite.

Thank you very much for your time, effort, and incredible dedication to public history.

It was early 1980s, Brunei had a GDP per capita of US$21,822 - the wealthiest in Asia, far exceeding even the booming Japan (US$10,361). Singapore (US$5,595) was poorer back then.

GDP aside, Brunei also had good infrastructure that was well ahead of most in the region. For instance, Brunei Airport had the longest runway in Southeast Asia, one of the longest in Far East, and was able to accommodate aircrafts of any size at that time. Radio and TV coverage was almost 100% in Brunei, nearly all households had a TV set and radio at home. By comparison, in Singapore, owning a TV was still considered a big thing for the family back then. At the time when RTB began its operations, Brunei was the only country in the region that offered colour television broadcasts; even Singapore and Malaysia only had black-and-white television broadcast at that time.

Upon independence, Brunei inherited a foreign reserve worth US$67.5 billion. This foreign reserve was itself, bigger than the entire Singaporean (US$19.14 billion) and Malaysian (US$33.94 billion) GDP combined back in 1984. If Brunei had put a significant amount of those money towards development, not only 'mini Switzerland' could be achieved, the possibility of a 'mini London' could also be likely. This was what Dubai attained 30 years later.

The first thing the Sultan did upon independence was building the world's biggest palace, and CBS described Brunei as so rich that even blowing up half a billion on new palace won't dent state revenues. "In the age of recession, it must be the only country left where this is possible." With the emergence of a new country that deep in pockets, premiers of Japan, Canada, and Malaysia, the foreign ministers of Singapore and Thailand, and the King of Malaysia all dropped by for businesses.

Nearby, Labuan had built the most modern shipyard in ASEAN, the third most modern in the world. Flushed with oil money, Labuan at this era was a duty-free shopping haven and many branded goods were sold much cheaper than elsewhere in Southeast Asia. The wealthy flocked to Labuan for shopping.

As many of us have been forced to self-quarantine recently, with no sports the hours can sometimes feel like days. While browsing through some classic NHL playoff moments, I stumbled upon the list of the longest ever games played. That of course gave me an idea to find and list the longest ever game that each NHL franchise has appeared in. However, I soon decided to pivot on my idea just a bit. Not wanting to bring anyone down by listing their longest game that may been a loss, (or in the case of some teams, their three longest games that have all been losses coughCapitalscough), I decided to comb through a specifically look for each team’s longest ever overtime WIN. Games that are one of the top 50 longest of all time are noted as well.

Please note that this only includes the current incarnations of each franchise, and doesn’t take into account previous places and/or teams they may have been. So for Dallas, I didn’t look into Minnesota North Stars games, and for Colorado I didn’t look into any Nordiques games. Same with the Jets, I just looked at the current incarnation of the Jets, not anything with the Thrashers or the previous Jets that are now in Arizona.

It certainly is possible that I may have made a mistake, and if so, please feel free to correct me.

And I know this is a great big wall of text, but it’s actually a fun history lesson. And let’s face it, most of you really don’t have anything better to do:

Anaheim Ducks

April 24, 2003

American Airlines Center, Dallas TX

Round 2, Game 1

Anaheim-4, Dallas-3

5 Overtimes, 140:48 total length

Game Winner: Petr Sykora (Adam Oates, Mike Leclerc)

4th longest game in NHL History

Recap: The 7th-seeded Ducks’ Cinderella run to the Stanley Cup Finals on the Back of J-S Giguere in 2003 started with a stunning sweep of the reigning champion Detroit Red Wings in round 1. Round 2 pitted them against #1 seed Dallas, and the first game of the series ended up being a classic, pushing into 5 overtimes before Petr Sykora ended the game 48 seconds into the fifth overtime.

Goalies: J-S Giguere, ANA (63 shots-60 saves). Marty Turco, DAL (54 shots-50 saves)

Series result: Anaheim won the series 4-2, but eventually lost in the Stanley Cup Finals to New Jersey in 7 games.

Side note, I find it hilarious that they denied it's existence for so long.

Sure, it's one of the most secure locations on the planet, but you could still see it on satellite images!

(For the record, I don't believe that UFOs or anything like that happens there, it was/is just a place to test craft like the U2 spy plane, SR-71 Blackbird, F-117 Nighthawk, B-2 Spirit, B-1 Lancer, etc. Hell today it's probably just a storage facility/regular air force base).
