(CE:1572a-1573a) MAURITIUS, SAINT (feast day, 25 Tut), the favorite and most widely venerated of the saints of the THEBAN LEGION. During the Middle Ages, he was revered as the guardian of several professions, including soldiers, armorers, and dyers. Several orders were established in his honor, including the Order of the Golden Fleece, founded by Philip the Good of Burgundy (1429), and the Order of Saint Maurice, founded by Amadeus VIII of Savoy (1434). He is recognized as the patron saint of the diocese of Sitten (Sion, capital of the canton of Valais), of the city of Saint Maurice-en-Valais (ancient Agaunum), of Saint Moritz in the upper Engadine, and of the canton of Appenzell I (Rhine), where his feast day is a cantonal holiday. He also became the patron saint of entire communities and kingdoms: the Langobardi, the Merovingians, the Carolingians, the Burgundians, and later the Savoyards. The Holy Roman Emperors looked to him for protection. In 926, Henry I of Germany (919-936) ceded the present Swiss canton of Aargau in return for the lance of Saint Maurice; henceforth, this lance, along with his sword and spurs, were among the most significant insignia of the imperial throne. Furthermore, certain emperors were anointed before the Altar of Saint Maurice in Saint Peter's Cathedral at Rome. More than 650 religious foundations dedicated to the saint can be traced in France and other European countries. A large number of churches and altars in Switzerland bear his name; a few of them may be enumerated by canton: Canton Aargau: Pfarrkirche in Berikon, Beinwil/Freiamt, Oberrohrdorf, Wölflinswil, as well as in the formerly Catholic churches of Suhr, Umikon, and Zofingen; Canton Lucerne: Emmen, Pfeffikon, Ruswil, Schötz, Ohmstal, and Saint Leodegar in the Hofkirche in Lucerne; Canton Solothurn: Dornach, Kleinützel, Kriegstetten, and Trimbach; Appenzell I (Rhine): the Stosskapelle. Special mention may be made of the Church and Abbey of Saint Maurice-en-Valais, of the Church of Saint Moritz in the Engadine, and of the Monastery Chapel of Einsiedeln, where his name is highly revered. The Egyptian origin of the saint is attested by etymological considerations. The Coptic Greek name Maurikios (fem., Maurikia) appears in the papyri and is identical with the Roman name Mauritius, according to G. Heuser. P. Müller suggests that the name may have been derived from Moeris, which is associated with the ancient lake in the Fayyum; indeed, we encounter this name on epitaphs of the Ptolemaic and Coptic periods, and it is identical with the name of this lake, which is still used as a personal name among the Copts.

NATURAL TUNNEL STATE PARK, VADescriptionThe Commonwealth of Virginia acquired the tunnel and 100 surrounding acres in 1967 from the Natural Tunnel Chasm and Caverns Corp. to establish Natural Tunnel State Park. Approximately 750 additional acres were later acquired and the park opened in 1971. Natural Tunnel, called the "Eighth Wonder of the World" by William Jennings Bryan, has been attracting sightseers to the mountains of southwestern Virginia for more than 100 years. Today it is the focal point of Natural Tunnel State Park, a park which offers visitors not only spectacular sights but also swimming, cabins, camping (up to 50amp), picnicking, hiking, a chairlift, a visitor center, an amphitheater and interpretive programs, including guided canoe tours and wild cavetrips. The new Cove Ridge Center offers conference center facilities, both overnight and meeting space. The creation of Natural Tunnel began more than a million years ago in the early glacial period when groundwater bearing carbonic acid percolated through crevices and slowly dissolved surrounding limestone and dolomite bedrock. Then, what is now Stock Creek was probably diverted underground to continue carving the tunnel slowly over many centuries. The walls of the tunnel show evidence of prehistoric life, and many fossils can be found in the creek bed and on tunnel walls. Size: 850 acres. The tunnel is 850 feet long and 100 feet high inside.Services & Amenities:
Alerts and Important Information There is a per night per pet fee for cats and dogs in all cabins and lodges (pets are not allowed in the Kiptopeke yurt). Customers making reservations via the web are responsible for visiting the park office to pay all applicable pet fees. Customers may also call the reservation center at 800-933-7275 to pay the pet fees in advance.Notice for Campers:LEAVE YOUR FIREWOOD AT HOME!! One of the most important things we can do to protect Virginia's trees and forest diversity is stop moving firewood. New infestations of tree-killing insects and diseases are often first found in campgrounds and parks. Why? Because people have accidently spread invasive species when they brought firewood along with them. In Virginia, there are numerous counties under quarantines, issued by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, due to an invasive insect pest or disease. These quarantines restrict the movement of firewood or wood by products from certain tree species. Moving firewood in violation of a quarantine is a class 1 misdemeanor and upon conviction, you could be subject to; confinement in jail for up to twelve months and a fine of $2,500.00 or both. For more information on areas under quarantine, go to http://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/news/releases-a/062212eabexpand.shtmlPLAY IT SAFE - LEAVE YOUR FIREWOOD AT HOME!! Getting There:Natural Tunnel State Park is in Scott County, approximately 13 miles north of Gate City and 20 miles north of Kingsport, Tenn.. To get there, from I-81, take I26 North to US 23 approximately 20 miles past Gate City. Take State Route 871 and go one mile east to park entrance.

I CANNOT see where you would need 10k feet of Cat6.
If you put like 4 outlets in every room, and that the main router is located on the completely opposite end of the house, I could imagine it.I bet he's doing 1-2 dedicated coax line per room as well.
You are amazingly close. There are 4 outlets in each bedroom, each outlet has 7 Cat 6 and 3 Coax run to it. The average run is about 50-70' (more toward the center of the house).Each room will have 28 Cat 6 and 12 RG 6 coax in 4 locations.
WHAT IN THE WORLD is your justification for this???
1 recommendation
You are amazingly close. There are 4 outlets in each bedroom, each outlet has 7 Cat 6 and 3 Coax run to it. The average run is about 50-70' (more toward the center of the house).Each room will have 28 Cat 6 and 12 RG 6 coax in 4 locations. The media area has 16 Cat 6 (in a 1U bracket) and 16 20 amp outlets connected via a home run to the breaker box, with 4 RG 6 Coax. Bathroom has 2 Cat 6, kitchen area has 2 Cat 6 to each of 3 outlets with 2 RG 6 Coax. Above each exterior door is both an RG 6 and a Cat 6 (allows me to run an IP or Coax camera over the doors).
Hell, what's 10K' of cabling? Two rolls?
Fiber is a little different, since most fiber is runs that measure in hundreds of feet, if not hundreds of yards. Since copper is limited to 100m at the most, it makes less sense to have a giant 5 mile long roll of Cat wire.
I LOVE this idea and you are making it a reality; however, you and I both know it's a bit overkill. You did bring up a GREAT idea though, the CAT6/RG6 above the doors is brilliant. If anyone has tried to retro-fit at the corners, y'all understand. Hell, what's 10K' of cabling? Two rolls? Don't worry about the nay-sayers, I love this. Best now at the build rather than later when the good-idea fairy pokes around. XD
Above each exterior door is both an RG 6 and a Cat 6 (allows me to run an IP or Coax camera over the doors).
pandora - what are you using for a headend for the hdhomerun to get the signal and channel changing to the tvs?
In addition to the Joey, each child has 1 PS3 with PS2 capability, 1 smart tv, 1 Xbox 360, 1 PC, 1 Obitalk or Ooma device for land phone calls, 1 Wii with USB wired Ethernet and eventually one Wii-U. We also have basic local cable from Comcast viewable via a HD homerun prime via Xbox 360's. The Joey requires both an Ethernet and a Coax connection as does the Hopper which will be in the living room of the addition.As best I can determine each child will require 6 active Ethernet devices with current hardware and one active Coax cable. Unused cables will not be exposed to the room and will have blanks placed in the outlet cover.If a Wii-U is added, each child will want 7 Ethernet cables. My expectation is sooner or later someone will want an 8th, 9th and 10th and we'll try to re-arrange furniture. It seems there is almost always a need (new DVR, whatever) for something new to be network attached.
if you don't mind me asking, how many kids do you have?can't they converge in one room and play there instead of having to wire all of their rooms and risk the possibility of them just being in their room all the time?
Yep - at 46 I am an old man. I think they are WAYYYYYY to immersed in technology but I suppose if you afford it. I would LOVE to know what they post here at 1 year old on DSLR.... I would bet they had an account but they didn't do anything on DSLR for a good while.Of course - I would not be able to save for retirement if I had to have that outlay of cash.--Brian"It drops into your stomach like a Abrams's tank.... driven by Rosanne Barr..." A. Bourdain
In 3 common areas outside of bedrooms there is a super-set of the capability within each bedroom. The kids can congregate corporeally, virtually, or play by themselves in private rooms or in open living areas. It is often fun to see what they come up with.
IMO many people haven't learned master technology and instead are subordinate to or worse clueless about it. Having access to technology and knowing how to use it appropriately and to fit it into a life, are learning issues that have been ignored IMO.I've seen so many technology starved kids get an X-Box 360 and Call of Duty then vanish unsupervised into a private bedroom for long periods of time unsupervised. My kids have access to any game they want, none have found any FPS of interest. Generally I'll try and take time the kids activity several times an afternoon if they are home.
Access doesn't equal addition or isolation, my children have been immersed in IT for many years, it is like having a fridge, dishwasher or TV. All my kids have had cell phones since first grade. None have been lost or damaged. Currently all children have smart phones.My belief is many parents aren't involved in teaching children how to manage the technology they encounter and how to adapt as it evolves. This may be due to the majority of parents being technologically behind their own kids.
your kids have been immersed in IT just because they have smartphones?if they were writing code, creating websites, creating apps for apple or Linux or Android, helping you layout your house network etc..., then they are interested in IT. Not because they have smartphones and know how to work it, doesn't mean they ARE in IT.
I would LOVE to know what they post here at 1 year old on DSLR.... I would bet they had an account but they didn't do anything on DSLR for a good while.Of course - I would not be able to save for retirement if I had to have that outlay of cash.
I don't believe with your mistake on so much we have common ground for discussion. Sorry.
so basically you or your kid registered here on DSLreports when he / she was only 6? pls. don't tell me your kid is into IT because of this as well.
Pandora, good for you that you share your interest with your kids and try to go all out for the things that matter to you.Too many people play is safe and never try to push their personal limits.I understand people who try to understand and ask questions but I do not understand people who try to judge or question what you do.Here is a fun read, I think he is a kindred spirit to you Pandora»icrontic.com/article/man_builds_···on_tower

A Prescott Valley couple arrested for allegedly using fake $20 bills at restaurants and stores across Yavapai County is also facing drug charges.
Prescott police said investigators discovered a counterfeiting scheme in October and linked Edwin Jaramillo, 47, and his vehicle to the crime scenes.
Late Monday night, officers found Jaramillo's car that his fiance Erica Pimentel, 29, was driving. Police said she had fake bills on her and was driving with a suspended license.
A search warrant was issued on the couple's home on Ranger Road and Jaramillo had counterfeit bills, heroin and drug paraphernalia in his possession, police said.
Jaramillo was arrested and booked into the Yavapai County Jail on charges of fraud, money laundering, forgery, and several other drug-related charges.
Pimentel was charged with fraud, money laundering, forgery and operating a motor vehicle on a suspended license.
Prescott police believe the pair used counterfeit bills in several different cities in Yavapai County including Cottonwood and Camp Verde, as well as restaurants and grocery stores in Prescott Valley and both Walmarts in Prescott.

I think they are showing the falls to emphasize what a splatfest the event was.
I think they are showing the falls to emphasize what a splatfest the event was.
Paseka is stunningly gorgeous.
The landing, not so much......
Maroney gets so much air on that vault it's sick
Pistorius is an amazing human being.
I wish NBC would air the paraolympics. They talk about how amazing it is to see Pistorius (and it is), but then they don't show so many of the amazing athletes there.
Crap. I'm watching this unspoiled (have I mentioned 80 times that I've been busy moving the past several days :p) and was rooting for old McKayla SharkEyes. (Speakimg of which, did you see how she didn't want to make eye contact with anyone afterward?)
otoh I'd had a feeling Oscar didn't finish welltoday. But how effin cool was the thing between him and 1st place dude James.
I love Pistorius. What an athlete. I know a lot of people don't think he should've been there but I'm glad he was and that he did so well.
Another coal medal for NBC and their complete chack of the men's floor exercise and pommel horse, which could have been aired instead of a 30 minute Michael Phelps interview and James Bond fluff.
Feck you, NBC!
there's still a chance an abbreviated version (winning routine for each, + louis smith) will be aired...
or after midnight--or is that always the same as 8-11pm show? *sigh*
if they weren't going to air, they could at least make the vid available instead of making us wait til after prime time broadcast (PH and FX) to upload the online FX/PH
And lord knows we're not going to get any of the rings finals tomorrow night, since, to NBC, that event does not exist at these Olympics.
Richards-Ross! I wish she had kept her hair like she had it at trials, though
for Deedee Trotter, too!
Coal medal- heh. 1st I've hear that expression.
Wish that Nellum (driveby shooting survivor!) had qualied.
The entire Richard-Ross' clan has fabulous hair.
Bolt is so self-congratulatory
Yay for Bolt!
BOLT!!! Commentating was weird-likeHammond couldnt see Bolt was coming on.
Gatlin medals. Meh.
Yeah Bolt!! What a great race.
I thought that, too. I think he was focusing too much on Gatlin and Blake and didn't realize Bolt was just running with the blinders on the last 30m.
Oh hey, men's gymnastics. That's a surprise.

Nike Zoom KD IV 'Aunt Pearl/Think Pink' – Release Date
April 26th, 2012 by John Kim | 33 comments
While the Nike Zoom KD IV isn't partaking in the Elite Series of Playoff-inspired basketball kicks, that doesn't mean Durant's chances for a first-ever NBA Championship is out of the question. It's the player that ultimately wins the games, and with Durant, there is no other broader set of shoulders than his. A big reason why he's risen to popularity off the court is his humility and loyalty to his roots, and the upcoming KD IV colorway honoring his late Aunt Pearl (part of the Think Pink campaign) only adds to his reputation as one of the most likable superstars in the history of the sport. We know you've all been dying for another high-profile KD IV drop, so circle your calendars for May 12th as the Nike Zoom KD IV 'Aunt Pearl' will hit select Nike Basketball retailers (Nike declares these will not be sold on Nikestore). Take a look at this first set of detailed images and let us know if these are a must-have for you. Photos: dunk

This article possibly contains original research. (May 2011) |
A railfan, rail buff or train buff (American English), railway enthusiast or railway buff (Australian/British English), or (often with a more specialized meaning, described below) trainspotter or gricer, or sometimes anorak (British English), is a person interested in a recreational capacity in rail transport.[1][2] Railfans of many ages can be found worldwide.
Other names[edit]
The term metrophile is used by some to identify a railfan with a particular interest in metro (subway, underground) systems.
The study of railways, or a general interest in them as a hobby, is sometimes known as ferroequinology (literally, "study of iron horses").
United Kingdom[edit]
In the UK, railfans are sometimes called trainspotters. They are also known as Zeds due to the fact that many special trains have a reporting code with a 1Zxx prefix. Other UK terms are VEG, Ned, Stoat, Cabbage, gricer, basher, spon and Anorak.
In Indonesia, railfans are called Pecinta Kereta Api or Train Lover. Railfans are also called Penggila Kereta Api or Train Enthusiast, and have a community named "Komunitas Edan Sepur Indonesia" or Indonesia Edan Sepur Community
In Australia, they are sometimes also referred to pejoratively as gunzels.[3][4]
In Japan, railfans are called Tetsu or Tetsu-ota. Tetsu is derived from tetsudō, the Japanese word for "railway" (tetsu meaning rail; dō meaning way). -Ota is derived from otaku which means geeks or enthusiasts. Tetsu also has a meaning of "iron" and they are said for example, "I have an iron deficiency because I've never ridden a train for these two weeks."
The hobby extends to all aspects of rail transport systems. Railfans may have one or more particular concentrations of interest, such as:
- Railway locomotives and rolling stock
- Still-used or disused railroad lines, bridges, tunnels, stations, and other infrastructure
- Subways and other local rail transit systems
- Railway history
- Railroad photography
- Railway signaling
- Rail transport modeling
- Timetable collecting
- Railway art or architecture
- Railway operations, economics or commerce
- Railway preservation/restoration
- Level Crossing. This is where the railfan can be interested also in the railroad or "grade" crossing signals.
- Monitoring railroad radio communications with a radio scanner.
Indeed, the scope of the subject is so large that fans may additionally concentrate their interest on a particular country, town, operating company, field of operations, or era in history – or a combination of any of the above.
Railway photography[edit]
Train photography is a common activity of railfans. Most railfans do their photographing from public property, unless they have permission to use a specific private property owner's land. Occasionally, they run into problems with law enforcement, especially due to post 9/11 paranoia, because they are sometimes viewed as suspicious. In 2004, for example, the New York City Subway attempted to institute a photo ban. This was met with fierce opposition, and was ultimately scrapped
Some railroad photographers have become well known for their works. Many railfans are familiar with the works of H. Reid, Otto Perry and O.Winston Link; in the UK with Derek Cross (1929–84), John Whitehouse, Maurice W. Earley (1900–82), Rev. Alfred H. Malan (1852–1928), Brian W. Morrison, Ivo Peters, Jim Spurling (1926–Present), H. Gordon Tidey and Rev. Eric Treacy; in New Zealand, with W.W. (Bill) Stewart (1898–1976); or in Germany with Carl Bellingrodt (1897–1971).
In the United Kingdom, all photography is prohibited on the Tyne and Wear Metro without written permission from Nexus, the operators of the system. As of 2010 this is the only system in the UK where such policy is in place.
Photography is allowed at all stations on the National Rail network.
London Underground allows tourists and rail enthusiasts to take pictures and videos while passing through a station, though flash and tripods are not allowed. Anyone who wants to take pictures and videos for more than 15 minutes at a station has to obtain a permit from the London Underground Film Office.
In Singapore, photography and filming can be taken in all SMRT and SBST stations as long as it does not reproduce for public viewing. However, upskirt photos are illegal and recordings for weddings and movies has to obtain permission from the operators.[5][6]
In Melbourne Australia, Metro Trains Melbourne require any railfan wishing to take photographs to download and print out a permit, which is valid for 60 days.[7]
The Spanish RENFE railroad company also requires an application for a permit.
In Greece railway photography is prohibited on all networks, without proper legal justification. Casual family photography is sometimes tolerated, but railfans are frequently confronted by security guards, who attempt to seize cameras and do not hesitate to call the local police. This prohibition has been actively enforced in Athens Metro and ISAP stations since 2004 and was recently extended to the mainline network of OSE after orders of the former managing director Mr. Psilianos in October 2007.[citation needed]
In Italy, the Royal Decree n°1161 enacted on July 11, 1941, concerning "military secret", prohibited all and any photographies and video recordings in and around a number of civilian and military installations, including public railways. Despite being considered largely desuete, this law was never formally repealed; thus, although railway photography is largely tolerated by tacit agreement, it may still be prosecuted on legal grounds as a felony.[8]
With the advent of digital photography and desktop PC graphics software, many railfans have begun augmenting their railway photography through digital manipulation of their railway images.[citation needed]
The Union Pacific railroad corporation makes available to its employees and shareholders a full color calendar each year depicting its trains in different parts of the United States where it maintains its rail lines.[citation needed]
Railway modelling[edit]
Model railroads and railway enthusiasm usually go together. Once railway modelling becomes a serious hobby to someone, he or she also develops a keen interest on "real" rolling stock and equipment, and railroadiana. Many railway modellers model a railroad of a certain period, country or company, and seek information of the gear and rolling stock of that object of interest.
Usually most railway modellers are also rail photographers, since photography is an easy way of documenting the information for modelmaking purposes.
Those who are "trainspotters" make an effort to "spot" all of a certain type of rolling stock. This might be a particular class of locomotive, a particular type of carriage or all the rolling stock of a particular company. To this end, they collect and exchange detailed information about the movements of locomotives and other equipment on the railway network, and become very knowledgeable about its operations. When a trainspotter sees a train that they have not yet seen before, it is referred to in the hobby as a "cop".[citation needed]
A trainspotter typically uses a data book listing the locomotives or equipment in question, in which locomotives seen are ticked off. In Great Britain, this aspect of the hobby was given a major impetus by the publication from 1942 onward of the Ian Allan "ABC" series of booklets, whose publication began in response to public requests for information about the rolling stock of Southern Railways.[9] Sometimes, trainspotters also have cameras, but railway photography is mostly linked to railfans. Moreover, in contrast to modern railway companies' attitudes, at its inception in 1948 British Railways handed out free copies of a locomotive data book to school-children.[citation needed]
Some trainspotters now use a tape recorder instead of a notebook. In modern times, mobile phones and/or pagers are used to communicate with others in the hobby, while various internet mailing lists and web sites aid information exchange. Railbuffs can maintain private computerised databases of spotting records as well. Radio scanners are common equipment for listening to railroad frequencies in the US to follow rail traffic.
It is a misconception that all railfans are trainspotters. Many enthusiasts simply enjoy reading about or travelling on trains, or enjoying their rich history—this may extend to art, architecture, the operation of railroads, or simply modelling, drawing or photographing them.
Certain train operating companies in the United Kingdom are banning trainspotters from taking photographs on railway station platforms (although, in theory, such activity may be possible if permission is requested beforehand). The reasons for the ban appear to be security and concerns about terrorism.[10][11]
A term used by railway enthusiasts to mean several different things.
- "Bashing" used on its own is a general term for a railway enthusiast's trip, excursion or holiday involving train travel, observation and hanging out the window giving it large by flailing and screaming at 'Normals' to show appreciation for the loco up front .
- "Line bashing" is more focused, and would be an attempt to cover as much of a railway network as possible. This can also be called "track bashing" especially if the person wishes to try to cover individual sections of track such as crossovers and sidings, in addition to completing an "A to B" journey on each section of line. In the UK (especially), Germany, and to a lesser extent in other countries, railfans often use a special excursion train for railfans (usually known as a "railtour") to cover freight-only railway lines in order to complete their coverage of a country's rail network.
- Another development from trainspotting (almost unique to the UK) is the "haulage basher" or locomotive haulage enthusiast[12] These individuals attempt to ride behind or in the cab (some people do not count the latter as proper "haulage") of as many locomotives as they can, marking them off in a book as would a regular trainspotter. Even the shortest haulage will count, such as being hauled for a few hundred yards by a shunting locomotive when one portion of a train is being hooked up to another at a junction. In some cases fans who like the sound of a particular type of locomotive working hard hauling a train will ride behind them as much as possible, even following English-built locomotives exported abroad, Portugal's 1800 Class (similar to BR Class 50) being one example. 'Haulage bashers' sometimes use unusual words and language known as "basherspeak".
Complete riding[edit]
Another enthusiast activity is attempting to ride the complete railway network of one or more cities, state, or countries. This may take months or years in the case of dense networks. The definition of 'complete' riding may change from person to person, and non-passenger routes may be included by travelling on special excursion trains, others may attempt to ride on each individual track and curve, rather than the route as a whole, some may not include riding during night, and others may require visiting each station rather than just passing though. British enthusiasts who attempt to cover a railway network are usually referred to as "gricers" or "track bashers".
There are informal competitions for visiting all the stations in a particular network in the shortest time; examples include the Tube Challenge on the London Underground and the Subway Challenge on the New York City Subway.
Timetables (or time-tables, or time tables) are a source of train schedule information which are useful for railfans planning photography expeditions. Timetables are also useful for railfans who attempt to cover an entire city's railway network in one day, riding from first to last train. Other railfans collect old train timetables, and imagine trains not existing now, or search for historical matters relating to the railway.
Collecting railroadiana[edit]
Many railfans also collect "railroadiana" or "railwayana". Railroadiana refers to artifacts from railroads and railroad operations and could include nearly anything to do with a particular railroad, including public or employee timetables, locomotive number boards, dining car china, passenger train tickets, tools and pieces of equipment such as lanterns, or sometimes items as big as train horns, or track speeders. Although few can afford the acquisition cost or the space for storage, some railfans collect full size rolling stock or locomotives.
Collecting unusual tickets is a pursuit for some railfans. For example, China Railway does not sell round-trip tickets officially, but one could buy a multiple-trip ticket with the identical starting and ending station, making a round trip. This problem was fixed in the latest ticket-selling software. Another example is the two railway stations Dongfanghong (The East Is Red) and Taiyangsheng (The Sun Rises) in Heilongjiang province, approximately 600 kilometers apart with no direct train connecting them. Someone bought multiple-trip tickets from one to another so the ticket read Dongfanghong -> Taiyangsheng, this is a famous lyric in a Chinese song The East Is Red.
Many railway preservation groups run special trips for railfans using restored trains, often on "rare mileage" locations that do not see regular passenger service.[13] These trips are both social events, as well as an opportunity for railfans to photograph unusual trains. Chasing a fantrip by road for the purposes of photography is often referred to as "Motorcading" in Australia.[14][15]
Exploring abandoned railways[edit]
Searching for and exploring abandoned railways is another area of railfan interest. Using old maps, one may find the former route, and the abandoned railway stations, tunnels and bridges may remain after a railway closure. Some abandoned rail rights-of-way have been converted to rail-trails for recreational use such as bicycling, walking, hiking, running or jogging. This would be considered railbanking, where the right-of-way is preserved, by keeping it intact, for the potential reactivation of rail service in the future.
Other activities[edit]
Some railfans are interested in other aspects of railroads not directly dealing with the trains. They may be interested in studying the history of the railroad companies, their infrastructure, law, financing and operations, including never-built plans. Abandoned railroad grades can often be found long after the railroad stops using them. Trams (and occasionally even monorails) may also be of interest.
Some enthusiasts combine their interest in trains with the hobby of monitoring radio communications, specializing in listening to radio communications of railroad operations using a scanner.[16] Some websites such as railroadradio.net offer live audio feeds of railroad radio communications.
Various magazines, clubs and museums are designed mainly for railfans, concentrating on the history of trains and railroads. Some clubs organize fantrips, either by car or by train; the New York Transit Museum owns some old equipment with which fantrips are occasionally run on the New York City Subway.
Origins of interest[edit]
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2011) |
The motivation for someone developing an interest in railways ("becoming a railfan") can come from many sources.[17][18]
Many railfans have a fixation with steam locomotives, which sometimes also fascinate the general public, as seen by the attendance at stations to view steam-hauled railtours. Sometimes the appeal of trains is nostalgic, recalling an earlier era when the railroads played a central role in commerce and transportation, and the depot was the center of every town. Nostalgia may also result from the long, lonesome wail of the train's horn, which mimics vocalizations that want for a more simple time reminiscent of home, as heard in country or folk music worldwide.[19] Sometimes the appeal is due to a fondness for large machinery that can be inspected and photographed up close. Sometimes there is an appeal of the scenery of the railroad running through open, uninviting terrain, or the gritty ambiance of the urban train yard. In this case, urban exploration poses a similar appeal. Some people were raised near streetcar tracks or railways. Everyday activities were associated with railroad, which seemed to be a part of life. This may lead to an interest in railcars, how they move, numbering, and other rail systems in the world and how they compare with their native ones. If these people move to another locale, their interest in railroads might be nostalgic.
Another appeal of the railroads is the business side of railroading. Railroads were long central to economic growth and commerce, and still are to some extent. The history of railroads and railroaders (such as James J. Hill) is a fascination for some, whether they view them in a positive way as capitalist heroes or in a negative way as robber barons. Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged features the troubles of an American transcontinental railroad.
Autistic people have difficulty processing and making sense of the world, so they are drawn to predictable patterns, which, of course, trains run by.[20]
An interest in model railroading can often lead to an interest in "the real thing", perhaps to aid in building more accurate models or operating more accurate trains.
Many railfans once worked in railroading, or had relatives who did, leading to a lifelong interest in trains. Others may develop an interest in trains through a hobby, such as model railroading.
Many people who would not think of themselves as railfans just like trains. Most cannot explain why. Songs and stories have glorified railroading ever since the invention of the locomotive, especially in the United States.
Railfans in America have been asked to keep railroad areas safer by reporting crimes and suspicious activity.[21] In the United Kingdom the British Transport Police have asked trainspotters to report any unusual behaviour and activities at stations.[22]
In the United States, concerns about terrorism have led to situations where railfans are followed or confronted by local law enforcement or transit police[citation needed].
The BNSF railway instituted the "Citizens for Rail Security" (CRS) program for the general public to report suspicious activities on their railways. Obtaining this card is common for railfans and is a derivative of the BNSF "On Guard" program for employees. However, this card does not recognize members as employees or contractors, and asks them to keep off railway property. No other U.S. railroad offers such a program.
Many experienced railfans have enhanced knowledge of railroad operations and hazards that can help the railroad, such as reporting malfunctioning crossing gates and other equipment.
Network Rail, the British rail infrastructure owner and station operator, has produced guidelines for the behaviour and responsibilities of railway enthusiasts at its stations.[23] In May 2010, the dangers of acting carelessly in the vicinity of an active railway were highlighted after an enthusiast, standing next to a double track line filming a steam train on the far track, failed to notice an express train approaching at 70 mph on the nearer track in the other direction, and came within inches of being struck by it.[24][25]
On July 29, 2012, Swapnil David, a railfan from India, died when he fell from a train while riding on the door, a practice known as "doorplating." Since then, the practice has been a major safety issue among Indian railfans[citation needed].
Popular culture[edit]
In the United Kingdom in particular, trainspotting is seen by many of the individuals who are not themselves involved with the hobby as being virtually synonymous with "dull" and "geeky," and the term has gained an ulterior meaning as any sort of activity that appears pointless to outsiders. A prime example of this was the Camel Spotting sketch in series 1 episode 7 ("You're No Fun Any More") of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
The activity of trainspotting was briefly mentioned in a passage set in a railway station, in Irvine Welsh's novel of the same name; however, it was left out of the 1996 film adaptation altogether. The novel Trainspotting and its film adaptation are not directly related to the hobby, although it may be inferred from the movie's opening scene that either the title expresses the author's view that the hobby is pointless, or that it seems pointless to outsiders, or alternatively, that trainspotting, like heroin use (the subject of the book) is a recreational activity very foreign to outsiders.
In the 2003 film, The Station Agent, the main character Finbar McBride is a rail enthusiast who works in a Hoboken model railway hobby shop. When the shop's owner dies he leaves McBride a piece of rural property with an abandoned train depot on it; McBride moves there and takes up residence in the depot.
In the 2008 crime/thriller film, Transsiberian, the character played by Woody Harrelson is a railfan, traveling on the Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia. In one scene, he tries to hijack a TEP70 locomotive, using his knowledge of train operations learned from a train simulator program.
In 2012, a YouTube video went viral featuring an extremely enthusiastic "foamer" observing 2 Heritage Equipment engines in the Chicago Illinois Area.

I love this item, the shape is perfect for a pound of coffee and it is a sleek looking container also
Perfect for coffee beans, only wish it was a little wider, but love it
I like the look..The lid does not seal tight which makes the lid sit uneven.
I was treated to bags of Starbucks grounded coffee. Here in Houston it is very common to have bugs coming into your home and this made a very secure container for any coffee grounds. I had two neighbors compliment the brown tones of this coffee container. Highly recommend.
This coffee canister is weighty, seals well and looks great. The product description doesn't do it justice! Very happy to have finally found my 'just right' coffee canister.

Of course Seattle will do well this year. They have the highest number of juicers on the defense. One thing Pete learned at USC is that if he wants to win he has to get his guys to break a few rules.
Job Insecurity: Rex Ryan, Jason Garrett among NFL coaches on the hot seat
Change is an absolute in the NFL, and for teams in need of major change, the replacement of a head coach is often the first shot fired. While other coaches may be looking over their shoulders for various reasons in 2012, here are the gentlemen we think have the most to be worried about if their teams underperform in the new season.
Rex Ryan, New York Jets
There are times when the evaluation of Ryan's NFL future reads more like a psych paper than like anything to do with football, but that's what happens when you coach the Jets. There are those who believe that Ryan should have been fired right after his decision to play Mark Sanchez in the fourth quarter of his team's 24-21 overtime win against the New York Giants last Saturday, or that his decision to play a guy due $8.5 million in guaranteed money behind a fourth-string offensive line will be used as justification when he eventually is canned. Sanchez's appearance and subsequent injury are most likely the result of an impatience within the entire organization to prove that previous moves are not as franchise-killing as they seem, but if the Jets' 2013 is the disaster most people assume it will be, it's tough to imagine Ryan as the team's head coach in 2014. And few would be surprised if he ends up gone before then.
However, let's dial back on the notion that Ryan could be canned in the preseason — even owner Woody Johnson and new general manager John Idzik have to understand that replacing your head coach with such short notice is a damaging and needless move. No NFL head coach has been fired in the preseason since George Allen was sent packing by Los Angeles Rams owner Carroll Rosenbloom in 1978. Allen was a brilliant coach with a propensity for rubbing some people the wrong way. As the LA Times recalled in 1991, Allen "chewed out players for failing to properly clap chalkboard erasers and could be distracted from a blocking drill by the sight of crumpled paper cups strewn across the practice field."
Ryan has no such clean-freak issues, but one could say that he needs a bit more organizational acumen. The Jets he inherited in 2009 reflected his personality perfectly — a skilled defense made even better by his presence, a tough running game and a rookie quarterback in Sanchez who took the "Just don't screw it up, kid," ethos to its logical conclusion. Now, with Sanchez overvalued and the roster negatively affected by a number of questionable decisions — not to mention an ownership situation that had several general managers bailing on the notion of replacing Mike Tannenbaum when he was fired in January — Ryan is left to redefine the franchise with a paradigm he does not understand. In the end, he's a brilliant defensive coach who is out of his depth when taking on a higher calling, and there's nothing wrong with that. The NFL would be a better place if Rex Ryan were calling the shots as a defensive coordinator again, and I'd bet Rex would be happier, too.
Jason Garrett, Dallas Cowboys
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones opened the team's 2013 training camp by insisting that Garrett is not coaching for his job in his third full season of doing just that. One is always on the hot seat to a point in JerryWorld, especially when Mr. Jones chooses head coaches more inclined to bend to the owner's will. After a number of strange late-game decisions in 2012, Garrett was stripped of his play-calling duties (to what degree is arguable), and now offensive coordinator Bill Callahan is calling the shots there.
Garrett has minimal say in personnel decisions; those are handled for the most part by Jones and his son, Stephen. How have those decisions played out? The Cowboys are 128 -128 since the end of the 1997 season, and Jones is the primary reason — he has cycled through five coaches since then, and only one (Bill Parcells) has been allowed to shop for the groceries. There were heavy rumors of a serious disconnect between the Joneses and the team's scouting department when the Cowboys traded down and selected Wisconsin offensive lineman Travis Frederick in the first round, and that's not an indictment of Frederick — just a realization that it appears to be more of the same for the Cowboys.
Were he a more compelling name, or if he had a history that popped off the page a bit more, Garrett might take the money and run, but he won't — he'll stay through the 2013 season, hope for the best, and most likely start looking at moving agencies if the 'Boys repeat the 8-8 record they've posted in each of the last two years.
Dennis Allen, Oakland Raiders
Put simply, the Raiders had nowhere to go but up when they hired Allen as their head coach after the 2011 season. A series of horrendous player contracts had GM Reggie McKenzie bailing out from a salary cap perspective from Day 1, and the depleted talent on the field insured that Allen would be working uphill. From that perspective, Oakland's 4-12 record seemed to be a reasonable accomplishment. McKenzie has preached the gospel of rebuilding over time, and that involves the kind of reconstruction that will test the patience of most in a league where worst-to-first stories are fairly common. McKenzie has said all the right things about believing in Allen's vision, but there may come a point when it isn't his choice.
Jim Schwartz, Detroit Lions
Schwartz is a sabermetrics geek with a degree in economics from Georgetown, and when you talk to him, it's pretty clear that you're dealing with a very intelligent individual. This, of course, makes the way in which his team plays even more confusing. While Schwartz and general manager Martin Mayhew (who has a J.D. from Georgetown Law) have made some very smart personnel choices since Schwartz was hired in 2009, a lack of discipline on the field has caused the team to underperform in an overall sense. That has to do with more than the obvious late hits, and fringe players getting in Tom Brady's face during preseason games. Schwartz inherited an 0-16 team and turned it into a playoff squad in three seasons, but last year's 4-12 campaign speaks to a schism between talent and results that generally has people looking at the coach.
Ron Rivera, Carolina Panthers
Rivera makes this list for one simple reason — he was almost swept out the door after the 2012 season, when the Panthers finished 7-9 and more was expected. Ex-general manager Marty Hurney didn't even make it out of October before he was fired by owner Jerry Richardson, but Rivera got a reprieve. He's always been a defensive coach, and the Panthers' front seven looks very solid. But all eyes will be on quarterback Cam Newton in his third NFL season. Last year, Carolina got away from the run-first-to pass schemes that worked so well for Newton in his rookie campaign. New offensive coordinator Mike Shula may put Newton back on the good foot, but if that doesn't happen, it's easy to see new GM Dave Gettleman talking to Richardson about getting a head coach more attuned to what he wants.
Mike Munchak, Tennessee Titans
Munchak has been with the Titans/Houston Oilers organization since 1982, when the now Hall of Fame offensive lineman was taken eighth overall in that draft out of Penn State. He was on the offensive staff from 1994 through 2010, when he was given the nod to replace Jeff Fisher, who had been the league's longest-tenured head coach. Munchak will not be able to replicate Fisher's 16-season reign in that position if the Titans don't improve on last year's 6-10 mark. Owner Bud Adams is capricious at best — Fisher's departure was tied in part to Adams' misguided insistence that Vince Young was his franchise quarterback — and Munchak's fate is likely similarly tied to his ability to mine team-defining results from quarterback Jake Locker, who the Titans took in the first round of the 2011 draft. It would be a shame to see a guy get booted from a franchise he's been with since Van Halen was relevant, but when you're a head coach, things happen for all sorts of interesting reasons.
