Happy New Year and welcome to the 2011 edition of the TRFN top 50 deviations of the year. This will be the 3rd edition of this feature.
As a new year begins, The-Railfan-Nation has grown rapidly in the past year by 511 members. This means that out of the 976 current listed members each deviant has a 5% mathematical chance of making this feature. Thus if you have made this feature earning any spot from 1 to 50 is a very difficult accomplishment that you have accomplished. Just anything will not make it in this feature all images in this feature made it in because of impressive stats. These deviations all collected these stats for a reason. Many of them reached outside the railfan community and drew interest from non-railfans as well. My standards for this list as always will be listed below.
The process was hard fought as I started on the 17th with work on this list. This time I was alone so I personally scouted out all 976 galleries. Due to obvious time constraints I have also announced several times through blogs that anybody with a recently popular 2011 deviation needed to alert me. I acknowledge the fact that scanning the galleries is a long process. Thus, this means because I started on the 17th there were some deviations that could have got popular after I scouted. This is my reason for making the blogs so recently popular deviations have a better chance at being counted since it is humanly impossible for me by myself catch them all if they are recently popular. So if you have one that could have made this feature that falls under this criterion and failed to inform me too bad. I wrote about 3 or 4 blogs addressing this exact issue so there was plenty of warning about it. Our blogs often have important info because they are the admin's best way of communicating with the group. Thus, it is the consequence of not reading them. So I do not want to get any nasty responses or hatemail if I've missed anybody in this manner. Stats may not necessarily be accurate.
In the process several well deserving deviations did not make it in so please do not feel bad if you did not make it into this feature. However, if you have in mind the goal of making this feature next year it is a good idea to look at and inspire yourself. I want you to look at this feature and say, "hey I could do something epic to."
No matter what medium of art you produce, attitude can often be a factor in your success or failure. This actually applies in all forms of art. Attitude in how you see other artist and take critique from them is just two things that can be a factor. I've seen a lot of people who like to classify fellow railfans with labels such as "ignorant foamer" and often times it was only because the person they labeled "foamer" was more successful than them. These rage fits I've seen on many sites are rooted by jealously. Folks I want to emphasize that going on a jealous tirade is no way to help yourself. For example it is possible for one to have a lot of experience and still have lackluster results. Experience is only useful if you apply it and learn from it. Just because one has been a form of art longer than someone else does not necessarily mean that he is more skilled than the newer guy. If you look at the featured artist closely you will find that their attitudes are very positive. I myself am a photographer and have won several awards for my photography in real life. I'm also known for much more than my railfanning.
I am at the belief that anybody could produce something epic if they really put their mind and effort to it. In order to do so you have to tune out "I can't." My message for the incoming year is clearly about attitude. I want to encourage a positive attitude with this address not only to how you consider others but to yourself as well.
All deviations featured must conform to TRFN submission standards which is not very strict.
All of the following are TRFN members.
Deviations are ranked based on faves.
All featured works were posted in 2011. This refers to date posted not technically date taken/made. (Example: a photo taken in 2010 but posted on deviantART in 2011 can qualify).
Policy violations are not counted in the ranks no matter how many faves they have. All deviations mentioned below passed TRFN inspection. Obviously a policy violation making the top 50 would understandably anger people. So final results are subjected to a point to point inspection, and if something is found to be in violation of dA policy it is rejected from the line-up immediately. (Example: Stolen material will be treated as though it never existed. So if someone posted a stolen pic that racked up enough faves to make the top 50 and I didn't notice it the first time it is automatically ejected in the final inspection process.)

In addition to this being the 3rd edition I'd like to recognize people who have made all three top 50 features since 2009 with their average rank within the top 50. Folks making this list once is hard enough but to make it 3 straight times you have really made yourself standout.

Wow! I made 49! Cool that's a lucky number! I hope I do as well for 2012!
For me it's a great pleasure to be with such talented artists, and have a job listed among the top 50 of TRFN is an unprecedented honor. Railways are part of my life since very young, and it is great pleasure to see that my work is being appreciated by other fans of that subject. My most sincere thanks.
Not withstanding the voting, they are all excellent. Thank you for the journal and the work involved bringing this work forward.
Thanks for the feature. Bit of a surprise, but cheers!
Happy new year

Well, I was thinking at first that I may be in the top 50...then I looked at last year's list and looked at my gallery again...I would probably have 5+ in the list, but since you only feature one image per user, I knew which would be featured.
lol true
Excellent work here, Congrats all and Happy New Year.

Recordbreaking 2014 for BMW
R1200GS and R1200RT bestsellers in class
BMW MOTORRAD UK has hit an all time high for new model sales in 2014, registration figures reveal.
Sales of new models increased by 15% last year, from 6,073 in 2013 to 6,959 in 2014.
The R1200GS also took the spot for the country's best-selling motorcycle over 125cc for the fifth consecutive year; the R1200GS Adventure took second place.
Despite a major recall, BMW's new liquid-cooled R1200RT topped the touring motorcycle sales charts, as well as being fifth highest-selling model over 125cc. In 2014, it accounted for 28% of all touring bikes sold in the UK.
Phil Horton, General Manager for BMW Motorrad UK, said: 'Bolstered by constant innovation and outstanding new motorcycles from BMW Motorrad, strong sales across the board in the adventure, touring, naked and sport sectors have helped grow our market share to 16% – the highest it has ever been.
'This year we will continue BMW Motorrad's product offensive by launching five hugely-anticipated new models. The first three models - third generation of the unrivalled S 1000 RR, as well as the first liquid-cooled R1200R and the revised F800R – will arrive at BMW Motorrad Retailers on 07 February as part of the New Season Launch.
'This summer will also see the launch of the ground-breaking S1000XR adventure-sports machine and the reintroduction of the Ride Smart badge with the Boxer-powered R1200RS. With such a strong existing product line-up being reinforced with five outstanding new motorcycles, 2015 is set to be even more successful.'

The tutorials in this section rely on the following data sets:
- The complete works of William Shakespeare, suitably parsed into fields. Download this data set by clicking here: shakespeare.json.
- A set of fictitious accounts with randomly generated data. Download this data set by clicking here: accounts.zip
- A set of randomly generated log files. Download this data set by clicking here: logs.jsonl.gz
Two of the data sets are compressed. Use the following commands to extract the files:
unzip accounts.zip gunzip logs.jsonl.gz
The Shakespeare data set is organized in the following schema:
{ "line_id": INT, "play_name": "String", "speech_number": INT, "line_number": "String", "speaker": "String", "text_entry": "String", }
The accounts data set is organized in the following schema:
{ "account_number": INT, "balance": INT, "firstname": "String", "lastname": "String", "age": INT, "gender": "M or F", "address": "String", "employer": "String", "email": "String", "city": "String", "state": "String" }
The schema for the logs data set has dozens of different fields, but the notable ones used in this tutorial are:
{ "memory": INT, "geo.coordinates": "geo_point" "@timestamp": "date" }
Before we load the Shakespeare and logs data sets, we need to set up mappings for the fields. Mapping divides the documents in the index into logical groups and specifies a field's characteristics, such as the field's searchability or whether or not it's tokenized, or broken up into separate words.
Use the following command to set up a mapping for the Shakespeare data set:
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/shakespeare -d ' { "mappings" : { "_default_" : { "properties" : { "speaker" : {"type": "string", "index" : "not_analyzed" }, "play_name" : {"type": "string", "index" : "not_analyzed" }, "line_id" : { "type" : "integer" }, "speech_number" : { "type" : "integer" } } } } } ';
This mapping specifies the following qualities for the data set:
- The speaker field is a string that isn't analyzed. The string in this field is treated as a single unit, even if there are multiple words in the field.
- The same applies to the play_name field.
- The line_id and speech_number fields are integers.
The logs data set requires a mapping to label the latitude/longitude pairs in the logs as geographic locations by
applying the
geo_point type to those fields.
Use the following commands to establish
geo_point mapping for the logs:
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/logstash-2015.05.18 -d ' { "mappings": { "log": { "properties": { "geo": { "properties": { "coordinates": { "type": "geo_point" } } } } } } } ';
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/logstash-2015.05.19 -d ' { "mappings": { "log": { "properties": { "geo": { "properties": { "coordinates": { "type": "geo_point" } } } } } } } ';
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/logstash-2015.05.20 -d ' { "mappings": { "log": { "properties": { "geo": { "properties": { "coordinates": { "type": "geo_point" } } } } } } } ';
The accounts data set doesn't require any mappings, so at this point we're ready to use the Elasticsearch
bulk API to load the data sets with the following commands:
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/bank/account/_bulk?pretty' --data-binary @accounts.json curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/shakespeare/_bulk?pretty' --data-binary @shakespeare.json curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_bulk?pretty' --data-binary @logs.jsonl
These commands may take some time to execute, depending on the computing resources available.
Verify successful loading with the following command:
curl 'localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v'
You should see output similar to the following:

The first round of the NFL draft is 24 hours away and the suspense over who the Kansas City Chiefs will take with the first pick is growing rapidly.
There has been a groundswell of national media speculation that Central Michigan left tackle Eric Fisher will be the Chiefs' first pick. For weeks, the consensus was that Texas A&M left tackle Luke Joeckel would be the choice.
Both players are considered similar talents. Joeckel may have an edge because of the level of competition he faced in college, but Fisher is considered nastier with perhaps more physical gifts.
I am not surprised by this guessing game. It is rare that the No. 1 pick has yet to be destined at this point. So, all the last-minute second-guessing is to be expected.
I think both players are still on the table and I wouldn't be shocked if either player was the pick. Kansas City general manager John Dorsey said four unnamed players are being considered, which could mean they're also looking at Oregon pass-rusher Dion Jordan or Utah defensive tackle Star Lotulelei. The Chiefs, though unlikely, could even trade the pick.
We will know the answer soon enough, but the guessing game will likely continue until the Chiefs' pick hits the podium.

Lampe Gras 226 Bookshelf Lamp by Bernard-Albin Gras
In 1922 Bernard-Albin Gras designed a series of lamps for use in offices and in industrial environments. The Gras lamps were astounding in their simple, robust and yet very ergonomic design. There are neither screws nor welded joints in the basic form. The functional esthetic of his lamps and especially the design of details such as those of the arms, stems, brackets and bases were truly original and far ahead of his time. Enjoyed by many influential architects and artists at that time such as Le Corbusier and Eileen Gray, the lamps became equally popular in professional as well as residential applications.
The Collection includes wall, table, ceiling and floor models. Different finishes and carefully considered size options make this collection truly versatile.
Model 226 has been designed specifically for the bookshelf max depth 5.3cm

Incredible as it might have seemed not so very long ago, England are unbeaten in one-day international series for nine months now, as well as winning the World Twenty20 title. Successive Australian victories in the final two matches of the recent series kept things in some perspective but England had already taken the spoils by that stage. If it was anything it was a warning against complacency or getting just a little too far ahead of themselves.
But there is no question that England's one-day performances are a cut above anything they have produced for many years, a function of planning, personnel and attitude. They have found a formula that serves them well and generally have stuck with it. The difficulty comes in planning for a World Cup on the subcontinent while trying to win games in this country where conditions are significantly different.
By next March, if they harbour real ambitions of repeating the T20 triumph, they will need to have mastered the art of teeing off at the start of the innings, hitting down the ground when slow pitches rule out pull and cut shots, and timing the batting powerplay to maximum effect with the right batsmen at the crease. They will need spin and pace off the ball instead of the bludgeon (rather as they did in their St Lucia semi-final against Sri Lanka).
Although the weather has been dry, so that outfields and pitches are abrasive, conditions at Trent Bridge, where England's three-match series against Bangladesh starts tomorrow afternoon, are not likely to be conducive to testing out these strategies to the extent they might like. Besides which there are games to be won and if Bangladesh remain Test strugglers, and have never won a match against England, they have recent enough memory of how it took a century from Eoin Morgan to haul his side over the line in Dhaka to know that this could change.
This will be a changed England side anyway from the one that took on Australia, with the absence of Graeme Swann, who is rested, and Kevin Pietersen, who would have been had he not got injured. Should they decide to play a frontline spinner in addition to Mike Yardy, then James Tredwell will play (there is a faint chance to that he could play anyway with Yardy replaced by Ajmal Shahzad, whose reverse swing would be watched with interest).
Pietersen's spot will go to Ian Bell, who is in the process of transforming his game into that of an all-round batsman capable of playing all forms of the game to the required international standard. Bell has hovered round the periphery of the England ODI side before but has never established himself, but recently appears to have upped his game, understanding that he has at his disposal an array of strokes and lacked only the confidence and nous to use them. Some barnstorming performances this summer, including 158 for the Lions against India A yesterday, show he is heading in the right direction.
Andrew Strauss is confident Bell has found some self-belief where once it might have been lacking. "I think he has made a conscious effort to be more aggressive," the England captain said today. "e's played very positively and very aggressively for both Warwickshire and the Lions. He's in great form, and he's been playing really well for England in the longer forms of the game. He's always had the shots, the key is always when to use them. At the moment, he's taking on the shots more and finding he's a good enough player they'll come off more times than not."
Also among the starting line-up today will be Stuart Broad, despite the death yesterday, from motor neurone disease, of his step-mother Miche, the wife of the ICC referee and former England batsman Chris Broad.

Megan: The Beginning of the Run
There was a gun pressed against her back at one moment and during the next it was the only thing keeping her from giving the Turain a biotic throw against the wall.
They were leading them down a hallway now, leading straight to the assembly yard just as the Turain CO ordered. Megan kept quiet, even though her head was sore and her eyes still burnt from the gas. At times, she glanced over to Commander Daniels, wondering whether he was seriously capable of submitting to the invaders just because he got jabbed in the face. The only time he ever looked back at her was when she examined the bruises at the side of his face. His glare was a clear enough answer that he didn't like where this was going (then again, who would?), but the biotic also took it as a silent order of not to do anything brash.
That was easier said than done, in her case, Megan thought dully.
The assembly yard was near as she knew the facility very well, but from the corner of her eye she saw the Turians behind her by the reflection in glass window they were passing. There were quite a few -- all ready to shoot them down if they tried to resist. But then the glass window seemed too much of an opportunity to waste, and in her mind she already began to formulate a plan.
She could take one down by throwing him (or her - she could never tell with Turians, apparently) through the window, but the cargo below would break his fall, and the same would go for her, when she would jump down, following the Turian. She had no doubt in her mind that a rain of gunfire would follow her, and it might just take down everyone else, but Megan had to take that chance.
After making it safely to the ground, Megan decided she would go left (or was it right?) and basically head to the command center by going on and off route to confuse her followers. All that was left was to actually put the plan into action.
Taking a second to collect herself, Megan inhaled sharply. She quickly ducked and roundhouse kicked the Turain that was behind her. He fell hard and was momentarily disarmed.
The others had little time to react as she quickly focused on one of them and her arm was swarmed by a blue aura. She had her target in the air within a split second. In the back of her mind she knew that being an L-3 had its limitations, and having little time to ready herself meant that the Turian might just bounce against the window like a ball or go flying ...
Soon enough, he crashed through the window, and pieces of glass went flying, cutting against her cheek and arm. The others nearly fell to the ground in shock while trying to dodge flying debris, but Megan pulled herself over the railing and jumped. Not exactly taking in account of the distant between the window and the ground, or a crate, as she hoped there would be one, her biotics swarmed around her entire body and broke the fall as her shoulder made impact against the hard interior of the cargo bay.
Her shoulder was almost dislocated by the fall and she likely broke something else, but Megan paid no attention to what injuries she had. Instead she looked behind her and saw them already getting ready to aim and shoot her. In another burst of strength and adrenaline, she sent another Turain flying against the others, sending the squad down again, before she ran for cover.
Megan looked left and right for an exit, and squinted painfully as her vision was a tad hazy from the gas and the leap. When she saw the opening to her escape route, she leapt to her feet and sprinted to the key panel. Her fingers pressed in a code at an almost inhuman speed. Her leg was already bleeding from a shot that rang out and more were coming at her, but she got behind the metal doors as the gunfire pelted the now sealed exit.

Preparing Students for the Real World
Thomas was one of six children in his family. All in all those six children had five different dads but they all shared the same mom. One of the dads was killed in a drug deal gone wrong when Thomas was in kindergarten. When his second grade teacher was getting ready for work in the morning he saw a local news story that Thomas's mom got arrested for selling crack. His teacher assumed that Thomas would not be in school that day. That assumption was incorrect. He came in on time and tired stating that the "police was at his door."
This was not in some poor section of New York City or large metropolis like that when we hear these stories. Thomas lived in an apartment in a small city which had seen some hard times. When Thomas was in first grade he dropped the F-bomb a few times in class and got sent to another room for a "Time out." In second grade, a few weeks after his mother was released on bail, Thomas's mother and "her boyfriend from jail" came to pick him up from school. That is what Thomas called his mother's new beau...he was her boyfriend from jail. His teacher did not realize that jail was also a dating service.
Thomas was raised in a house where using the F word was commonplace. It was not frowned upon or seen as rude or disrespectful. It happened at dinner or at night when he was going to bed. Most kids his age had a parent that tucked them in and kissed them on the forehead. Thomas did not have that luxury. His reality was very different.
Soon after Thomas's mother did hard time, he moved to a new city across the river. It wasn't far away from his old home but it was far enough away to take him to a new school in the middle of the month, in the middle of the year. Most teachers cringe when a new students moves in at that time of year. Thomas's teachers often cringed after they got to know him. His behavior off his ADHD medication was legendary and often times his mother skimmed a pill or two off the top so she could make a few extra dollars. Thomas did not really stand a chance when he was born, and his real world was vastly different from his teacher's real world.
The Real World
It's a comment you hear quite often and lately I have been thinking of it a lot. Michael Albertson, a frequent contributor to this blog recently wrote a blog called "The Real World." Michael wrote, "Referring to "the real world" insinuates that our students' lives are not part of "the real world". It discredits their lived experiences and subtly promotes elitism: this way of operating --- my way of operating --- is how the world works."
I agree wholeheartedly with Michael. For full disclosure, Thomas was a former student of mine when I taught elementary school. The name has changed but the facts remain the same. There were so many nights that I walked away from school wondering how I could help Thomas. I wanted to teach him without judging his life which was not easy. His life was vastly different from my own.
Although Thomas sounds as though he made every day a terrible one, that could not be any further from the truth. Most days he wanted to make his teachers proud. I co-taught with a special education teacher and we both worked hard with Thomas and tried to form a bond with him. Deep down he had the same basic needs. It's just that his home life was a struggle and he would sometimes come to class feeling self-destructive. It's been years since I taught Thomas and I have no idea what has become of him because I moved as well but his realities have stuck in my head since he and I shared a classroom.
In the End
When educators, politicians and other adults talk about preparing kids for the real world they are usually talking about technology or some sort of student-centered approach to learning which are both very important. Technology is very important but we have students who need much more than technology to make their lives better.
Adults have to understand that all of our students live in the real world. It's just that their real world may be very different from the one we live in when we go home. It doesn't mean we need to change our expectations but it does mean that we have to be empathetic to their needs.
Regardless of whether we are the Teacher of Record (TOR) or their scores on the high stakes test will affect our HEDI score, these students need us every single day that they walk into our classrooms and into our schools. We know that our students are more than a number because if we treat them like one, we are no different than the people outside of school who treat them like one as well.

It's too early to judge streetcar cost, city engineer says
With the design portion of the city's proposed streetcar project at an early stage, it is premature to speculate on increased costs, the city's engineer said Wednesday, responding to criticisms from an alderman.
Jeff Polenske said estimates on what it would cost to move private and public utilities to accommodate the streetcar are not yet known.
"It's s our goal to get to a 30% to 60% design phase and come back to the Common Council with a status update on costs," Polenske said.
Polenske was reacting to a statement made by Ald. Bob Donovan, a frequent critic of the proposed project. Donovan accused Mayor Tom Barrett's administration of hiding potential cost overruns related to the possible relocation of downtown steam tunnels or water mains.
But Polenske said such concerns are premature.
The city has allocated $64.6 million - funded by $54.9 million in federal aid and $9.7 million from a tax-incremental financing district - to pay for construction of a modern streetcar line from the lower east side to the downtown Amtrak-Greyhound station. The city is considering a split in which streetcars would travel south on N. Broadway and north on N. Milwaukee St., between E. Wells St. and E. St. Paul Ave.
Polenske said that is the number the city is working with to get the streetcar project built.
He said the city is close to announcing the name of the design consultant. This spring, the city plans to release the proposed route of the streetcar and hopes to begin construction of the streetcar guideway in spring 2014.
The Public Service Commission has not yet ruled on whether the city or utilities must pay for moving private utilities out of the way of the route. The public utilities have estimated that cost at more than $55 million, though that number could change.
If the PSC decides the city would have to bear those costs, Milwaukee would be forced to scrap the project or find ways to cut its cost.

Re: New Megatrends in the Era of Trump
This video is all propaganda and no information merely pushing a particular point of view. Two Megatrends that aren't even mentioned are robotics and virtual reality, (not to mention biotech) both of which are poised to explode and change human existence dramatically. It's so hard to find quality information on the web. One wonders why they even made the video.

My Used-to-Be Favorite Jeans
"I … I love him." Holly told them. She started ripping the wires from around her and Bernard watched, still looking helpless. When she was free from the meds, she left the three in the room, heading off to her own.
Where she belonged. With Trey.
Once inside, Holly found Trey digging through her drawers. "What are you looking for?" she asked but he didn't reply.
He kept digging until he found a pair of old jeans.
"No, no. No!" Holly pressed her fingers to her forehead and walked toward him. "Put those back right now!"
"Are these … those jeans?" Trey asked her and she closed her eyes as he looked over them.

"The ARTFL implementation of the FRANTEXT database (formerly the Trésor de la langue française) consists of texts ranging from classic works of French literature to various kinds of non-fiction prose and technical writing. The eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries are about equally represented, with a smaller selection of seventeenth century texts as well as some medieval and Renaissance texts. Genres include novels, verse, theater, journalism, essays, correspondence, and treatises. Subjects include literary criticism, biology, history, economics, and philosophy. In most cases standard scholarly editions were used in converting the text into machine-readable form, and the data contain page references to these editions"--Home page.

Determination Is The KeyMature
Once escaping the hospital with Kyle, we journeyed back to my house so I could change into more appropriate clothes. By then, the pain in my chest had subsided to a dull ache, both relieving and worrying me. I had dressed in flexible pants, and a thin skin tight sweater, so I could move fluidly but comfortable should the need arise. After getting my gear, which included two simple daggers marked with runes that Cassiel drew, a single broadsword also fixed with similar runes as my daggers and a small backpack filled with food and supplies, Kyle and I had left my house before my grandparents could wake.Now, we were north of my home, my instinct telling me to follow the winds that blew around us. Call me weird, but I could feel the elements guiding me to my Cassiel, gently urging me to move continuously to the northern borders of the forest surrounding my small town. Kyle coughed, his breathing short and I glanced at him as we continued to run towards the northern direction. His face was pale, his eyes dropping with exhaustion. I knew that we needed to find Cassiel, but I didn't need Kyle to start dying on me.
I pulled on his arm, steering us left to the forest line we were following parallel to Kyle dropped to the ground in gratitude, huffing as if he had just run a marathon. I leaned against the trunk of the oak tree beside me, trying desperately to catch my breath. A glance at the watch I managed to snatch up from my dresser made me groan in despair. It was already 2:43 am, three hours after we left the hospital. We're wasting time. I thought angrily. We need to find Cassiel! I rounded on Kyle, ready to snap at him, but stopped short when I seen him hacking up blood.
"Are you okay?" The words stumbled out of my mouth, and I dropped to my knees beside Kyle, awkwardly patting his back. He stopped coughing, and nodded weakly as he wiped his mouth. "Don't worry about it, Aless." He shot me a small smile, and leaned back to sit down.
Alarms blared within me, and I swung my bag off my back, ripping the backpack open. Snatching up a bottle of water, I twisted the cap open and motioned for Kyle to open his mouth. Once he did, I popped in a small pill that I palmed from my pocket, slipped it into Kyle's mouth and then poured some water after it. Kyle swallowed quickly, staring at me in surprise. I could see the drug take over Kyle's consciousness, his eyes dropping quickly. "What...did...you..do?" Kyle whispered, before slumping over himself, snoring escaping from his mouth. I grimaced, knowing I gave Kyle a sleeping pill with out his consent. But I was determined to get back to hunting my angel down, and I didn't need Kyle to collapse on me, not when we were so close.
"I'll be back Kyle." I whisper, pulling out an emergency blanket used to trap heat within it, and gently covering Kyle's sleeping form with it. The wind blasted in my ears, and I slowly stood, the cold breeze chilling me to the bone.
With fiery eyes, I continued on towards the northern forest, where my angel awaits.

If finding an apartment at a low or moderate rent seems to be getting harder, it's not renters' imagination.
The U.S. apartment market saw continued strong rental demand in the first half of 2014, driving rents higher and keeping occupancy rates at high levels, thus leaving few vacancies, apartment market research firm Axiometrics reported.
"It would be accurate to say that in 2014 the apartment market has generated its strongest post-recession first-half performance," Axiometrics' vice president of research, Jay Denton, said in a statement.
Annualized effective rent growth was 3.6% in June, up from 3.5% in May and the highest since December 2012.
For the first half of 2014, effective rent growth came in at 4.5%, the sharpest first-half growth since the recession.
The national occupancy rate stayed in the 95% range for the second straight month in June, dipping just 0.1 point from May's record 95.1%.
And for the fourth month in a row, landlord concessions like free rent hit a 5-year low. Concessions came to 0.78% in June, equivalent to about three days of free rent on a 12-month lease. At that level, concessions effectively snipped about $9 off the national average asking rent of $1,115.11.
"Of course, effective rent growth, concessions and occupancy go hand in hand in hand," Denton said. "Lower concession values mean higher effective rent, and higher occupancy allows landlords to push rents even farther."
Denton said the strength of the market so far in 2014 surprised many people in the apartment industry because it came even as the industry absorbed 102,692 new units.
Occupancy rates and rent growth could face greater downward pressure in the second half, when 150,000 new apartment units are scheduled for completion.

OSCON 2009: Opening keynote focuses on open government
On July 22, O'Reilly founder and CEO Tim O'Reilly launched this year's OSCON conference with a challenge for open source advocates to get involved in the quest for open government.
O'Reilly expressed excitement about recent efforts of the Obama administration to promote open records and open source software as a means for ensuring equal access to information. In his opening keynote address, he briefed the OSCON crowd on the new Open Source for America advocacy group.
O'Reilly highlighted the need to think of government "...as a means for collective action." He added that the recent push for more openness in government has led to a big demand for experienced open source developers to volunteer their time and expertise. "Collective action means more than collective complaint....If you're interested, don't just lend your voices—lend your hands."
The open source in government theme continued through the first day, with presentations on election audits, "Hacking the Open Government," and "Bureaucrats, Technocrats, and Policy Cats: How the Government is Turning to Open Source and Why."
The open government theme reflects a growing interest throughout the US in finding ways to ensure that information compiled at government expense (and therefore owned by the people) is easily available to everyday citizens without usage fees, vendor lock-in issues, or license constraints.

Twitter is introducing a new tool to provide real-time analytics for the micro-blogging site's feed.
Dubbed Heron , it will work hand-in-hand with Storm, Twitter's main system for such analysis. Heron, however, will enable the social network to process billions of events per minute with sub-second latency, making it as much as 15-times faster than Storm.
In failure scenarios, meanwhile, Heron has high data accuracy and the ability to handle temporary traffic spikes and pipeline congestions while also being easy to debug and simple to deploy in a shared infrastructure.
"When developing Heron, our main goals were to increase performance predictability, improve developer productivity and ease manageability," Twitter said in a blog post.
"At Twitter, Heron is used as our primary streaming system, running hundreds of development and production topologies. Since Heron is efficient in terms of resource usage, after migrating all Twitter's topologies to it we've seen an overall three times reduction in hardware, causing a significant improvement in our infrastructure efficiency."
For a full, technical explanation of how Heron works, head on over to the Twitter blog.

Cello Cases
|Show Me all
While the primary considerations in selecting a cello case are usually protection of your instrument and price, they are not the only considerations. The weight of the case, your own physical size, placement of handles all make a difference in how comfortable a case is for you to transport. Even if your cello never leaves the house, you want hinges that don't sag, latches that line up and operate easily.
Like cellos and bows, cases come in a range of prices depending on materials and workmanship. Plywood cases are very protective but heavy. ABS plastic and fiberglass shells mean less weight, but heftier price tags. If you and your cello are frequently on the go, these high-tech cases are well worth the price. Maneuvering your cello in and out of the car, up and down stairs is something you should consider. Wheels are an asset on a flat surface, but the added weight is a liability when lifting. Just some things to keep in mind if this is your first case purchase. Your own needs will determine which case is best, and Cellos2Go makes sure you get value for the price.

Love watching Valerie cooking with friends and family on her show Valerie's Home Cooking or as co-host of Kids Baking Championship? Learn even more about Valerie, like her dream dinner party guests, her cooking mentors and the strangest thing in her fridge.
The First Dish She Learned to Make Was Lasagna
Valerie cooks plenty of classic Italian dishes on Valerie's Home Cooking, but lasagna was the first she ever made. "I love lasagna," she says. "I must have been a tween."
Get the Recipe: Lasagna alla Besciamella
Family Recipes Are the Most Memorable
"I do always come back to my grandmother's soup, and there's something so full of love in it. It's a cappelletti in brodo. … It's so simple; it's just a perfect broth and a perfect cappelletti, and that's all it is. I used to try and make it for my son, and I never quite perfected it," Valerie admits. "One of these days I will."
Ina Garten's Cookbooks Are Her Favorites
"You know what? I love all of Ina's cookbooks, because they're spot-on," Valerie explains. "She makes it really easy, and when you follow her directions, it really comes out perfectly. Her cookbooks are probably my favorite."
Coconut Creamer Is Her Must-Have Grocery Item
"That's what I put in my coffee every morning," she says. "I seem to go through it very quickly."
She's a Condiment Hoarder
When asked about the strangest thing in her fridge, Valerie admits that she tends to collect condiments. "I have one whole shelf that is just condiments," she says. "I think I probably have 15 different kinds of mustards, [and] a couple different kinds of mayos."
Her Dream Dinner Party Has an Interesting Guest List
When asked who she would invite (dead or alive) to her dream dinner party, Valerie responded, "This sounds so corny, but Jesus. I want to pick his brain." Who else makes the cut? "Pope Francis, President Obama, Marilyn Monroe. That just sounds like such a weird list, but these are people that I find fascinating."
Her Favorite Food Cities are LA and New Orleans
"LA is damn good," she says. "I love New Orleans, but I don't get there enough, so I'm loving LA. There's a lot of fabulous restaurants here."
She Loves Lemon Desserts
Anything lemon is on Valerie's list of go-to desserts. "I love lemon meringue. I love lemon curd. I love lemon cookies," she says. "And then you put ginger in there — lemon and ginger — and I'm in heaven."
Get the Recipe: Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake
She Prefers Savory Over Sweet Food
"I would say mainly I'm a savory girl and every so often I like a sweet," Valerie explains. "If I was stranded on a desert island, I would want savory food, because then I could always grab a piece of fruit from any tree that was there. But I don't think I could live without any really great pasta sauce."
Her Favorite Cooking Partner Is Her Husband, Tom
"He's very, very handy in the kitchen," says Valerie. "He always knows how to make a mean cocktail while we're cooking."
She Plays Music While Cooking
What kind of music is her favorite? "Usually Tom and I will put on some cool jazz, or we'll put some hits on, you know, of the season," she says. "I love cooking with music on in the house."
She Learned Her Love of Cooking from Her Mother and Grandmother
"I [remember] sitting on the stool watching my nonni roll out gnocchi, cappelletti and fry bread, and asking me what I wanted in the fry bread, whether I wanted it sweet or savory, jelly or cheese," Valerie says. "I still have her rolling pin, and it's probably one of my most-prized possessions." Another childhood kitchen memory: "Watching my mom cook three meals without a microwave."
Her Favorite Kitchen Tool Is a Really Good Knife
For Valerie, this is the one tool that's indispensable. "You can't do anything without it," she says.
The Women in Her Family Are Her Cooking Mentors
Valerie is still amazed by her mother's ability to make perfect dishes every time — ones that she herself still hasn't mastered. "My mom had a wonderful risotto that I still haven't perfected," she says. "She really makes a mean roast chicken. I mean, it was perfect every single time, and I still don't know how she did it."
Gumbo Is Her Most-Requested Dish
"It's something that I make once or twice a year … and it takes me all day to do it, and I do it with my husband, which is always nice," Valerie says. "We freeze it. It's my brother Patrick and his wife Stacy's recipe that I've changed a little bit, and they still have their version, but it's their version, and I love the way Stacy makes the recipe. And it's fun to make and it's so damn delicious."
Get the Recipe: Valerie's Very Best Gumbo
She Loves Grilling with Her Family
When asked what she likes to cook for her family, Valerie says that grilling is at the top of the list. "We like to grill chicken, salmon, crab legs. We definitely get a lot of use out of our grill," she says.

Bell Helicopter Begins Construction On Lafayette, Louisiana, Regional Airport Aircraft Assembly Center
The five-seat, single-engine, turbine helicopter combines Bell Helicopter's proven technology with nearly a half-century of experience defining the SLS, or short-light-single, market with earlier JetRanger models. The 82,300-square-foot, $26.3 million Lafayette Aircraft Assembly Center will be funded by the State of Louisiana, owned by Lafayette Regional Airport and leased by Bell Helicopter. The company will make an additional capital investment of $11.4 million in equipment and tooling at the 14.5-acre airport site, which is adjacent to U.S. 90.
"We have experienced tremendous interest and support from our customers for this aircraft, confirming it was absolutely the right product for the market at this time," Bell Helicopter CEO John Garrison said. "The groundbreaking of the Bell Helicopter facility in Lafayette is a significant milestone toward aircraft production and delivery. The support provided by the State of Louisiana as well as their exceptional workforce training programs will help ensure the facility and our future workforce are operationally ready and able to quickly ramp up to meet our production demands."
The company is on schedule to meet an occupancy target of June 2015 for the assembly facility. Hiring is expected to begin in 2015, with assembly operations starting in 2016 following certification of the facility and the aircraft by federal aviation authorities. In addition to creating 115 new direct jobs at the Lafayette Aircraft Assembly Center, Bell Helicopter will retain more than 60 jobs in the Lafayette area at two existing facilities that perform rotor blade and composite repair and overhaul.
Governor Bobby Jindal said, "We are delighted that construction of a world-class aerospace assembly facility is underway in Lafayette and that skilled Louisiana workers will be producing the standard-bearer for a vital segment of the commercial aviation market. Companies like Bell Helicopter are recognizing what Louisiana offers the top employers of the future: a best-in-the-nation business climate, an outstanding workforce, a tremendous infrastructure and a quality of life like no other. For those reasons, Louisiana is becoming the investment state of choice for expanding businesses from around the world. We are excited that hundreds of Louisiana families will benefit from the advanced aerospace assembly operations that will take place here in Lafayette."
To secure the project, LED offered the company a competitive incentive package that includes performance-based grants of $4 million for lease support, $3.8 million for infrastructure and equipment, and $0.2 million to reimburse relocation expenses. Louisiana also will provide the comprehensive solutions of LED FastStart, the nation's No. 1 state workforce development program for five consecutive years.
"I have always wanted good, clean, high-paying jobs for our citizens," Lafayette City-Parish President Joey Durel said. "Bell Helicopter brings that, plus the added value of showcasing the abilities of our people to the world. It doesn't get much better than that!"
"The Lafayette Airport Commission welcomes Bell Helicopter as a new tenant to the Lafayette Airport," said Commissioner Paul Segura. "We are excited to be a part of this new helicopter production with a world leader in the aviation industry. This is a huge economic opportunity for Lafayette. The Lafayette Airport has had a long history of supporting aviation services, and we are here to assist Bell Helicopter to accomplish their goal of unveiling the Bell 505 to the world."
"Not only are we excited to join Bell Helicopter today as they break ground on their state-of-the-art assembly plant at the Lafayette Regional Airport, we are excited about the quality employment opportunities Bell Helicopter will provide for our region's experienced manufacturing workforce," said President and CEO Gregg Gothreaux of the Lafayette Economic Development Authority. "LEDA will continue to work with the company throughout the construction process and continue our relationship after the doors have opened for business."

The Taliban say they are withdrawing from Kunduz, a strategic northern city that briefly fell to the insurgents last month, as an Afghan official said life there is returning to normal.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in an email to media on Tuesday that the fighters are retreating to avoid further civilian casualties.
Hamdullah Danishi, the acting governor of Kunduz province, said shops and markets in the city have reopened and residents are venturing out of their homes. He says troops are continuing search and clear operations, suspecting that some insurgents remain in the city.

Antiracist Cartoon - A Review
I really enjoyed this video.It demonstrates the hypocrisy of our leaders who support Nationalism for Israel but not for European countries (or America).
Here is the link that specifies that the USA is committed to supporting Israel as a Jewish state:
16 comments:
An absolutely brilliant work!ReplyDelete
I would like to see some study of how a random selection of people is affected by this. The meaning of it seems to me very ambiguous.ReplyDelete
Fundamentally it seems to be yet another incarnation of the dubious old conservative rhetoric that tries to characterize leftists as "the real nazis" (or "the real racists") or "just like Hitler." That kind of rhetoric emanates constantly from people like Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. The silly premise is that ANYTHING that Hitler (and by extension racists in general) does is ipso facto evil and disreputable.
While the cartoon shows what might happen to the State of Israel with rigorously enforced multiculturalism, it does not make clear that Jews are behind multiculturalism in the first place, which is a point of the highest importance. While it puts a Jew's words into Hitler's mouth (in a variant of the "just like Hitler" theme) it doesn't inform the viewer of this, so that it ends up being an inside joke. Apart from that inside joke, the cartoon portrays Jews sympathetically, as being fundamentally just like White people (just as an earlier cartoon from these people portrayed Redskins as being just like Whites).
Even if the viewer already knows that Jews are behind multiculturalism and that what the cartoon portrays is therefore a turning of the tables, the cartoon's effectiveness could be limited by the fact that many are already quite accustomed to the idea that Jews should not be held to the same rules as anybody else, because they are the Chosen, or because they suffered so much in the Holohoax, etc. Somebody like that could derive the moral of the cartoon as something like: it's wrong to apply multiculturalism to the Jews because that's what Hitler would do.
Or it could be seen as simply a fantasy about wiping out Jews. In what way has the "anti-racist Hitler" remained Hitler? Despite an outer conversion to anti-racism he is still inwardly bent on eliminating the Jews. This is of course consistent with the false Jewish propaganda about Hitler, and it reinforces that propaganda.
The use of Hitler as a unique reference-point for evil, and the concommittant identification of the Jews as some kind of special victimized people, are facts that the BUGSters sedulously avoid confronting; these are crucial points that the BUGSters seem to pride themselves on dancing around. It seems to me that the BUGSters work so hard at being clever within the boundaries of conservative respectability they tend to sacrifice clarity, so that a person not already singing from the same hymnal might just find the whole thing bizarre and confusing.
I hate to damn the work, but it strikes me as yet another wasteful exercise in trying to achieve radical results without ever overstepping the boundaries of respectable conservative rhetoric. That would mean rejecting the shibboleths of respectability that Jews have established for conservatism: Hitler evil; racism evil; Jews innocent victims.
Again, I would like to see a study as to what effect this kind of presentation has, beyond affording amusement to those who already know and appreciate the inside joke.
The above illustrates why the pro-Hitler folks will never be any good to the pro-White movement. They are more pro-Hitler than pro-White. Ironically, for people who worship, a master propagandist, they know nothing about how it works.ReplyDelete
Notice, they can never allow themselves to seriously criticize Hitler about anything, they can never even let themselves have fun with the image of Der Furher.
This is the kind of thing we see at Counter Currents and all across Hitler-first websites. Their numbers are tiny, and they will be left behind as the real pro-White movement takes off.
Yeah, it's funny when the shoe goes on to the other foot. And we'll make no mention of the Depo-provera shots, and the forced expulsion of illegal African invaders.ReplyDelete
The guy with the godawful-long gibberish name didn't read my criticism very well.ReplyDelete
Summary of my criticism:ReplyDelete
1. Godwin's Law describes a kind of irrational argument used by people who can't make a real argument. This cartoon is in part an expression of Godwin's Law.
2. The cartoon is uninformative, insofar as it avoids saying that Jews are behind multiculturalism.
3. The cartoon misleads, insofar as it portrays Jews as exactly like (normal) Whites.
4. The message of the cartoon is unclear, beyond a self-evident point about the effects of immigration and multiculturalism.
5. The reason why the message of the cartoon is unclear is that BUGSter rhetoric deliberately avoids head-on confrontation about core issues, as a matter of principle.
6. It is questionable whether this kind of convoluted rhetoric really accomplishes much, other than amusing those who already possessed the crucial information that the cartoon itself refrains from stating.
I am open to evidence that this kind of presentation really does have some persuasive power. In the past I have found that BUGSters just get angry when the universal omnipotence of their convoluted rhetoric is questioned.Replies
The Israelis and Hitler are just props in this satire video to make a point about what is happening in White countries. The moment Hitler showed up in a Hawaiian shirt it was obvious to everyone that this was not a biopic of Hitler.Delete
The main goal is to use satire to expose White Genocide. When Jonathan Swift wrote "A Modest Proposal", there was little point in criticizing it from the standpoint of how unrealistic it was to think Irish parents would sell their babies for food. That would have shown one did not get the point of the essay on a fundamental level.
There are 100,000 views and almost 1,000 comments in less than a week indicating that people totally get the point of the video.
There is little point in having theoretical "arguments" when we have evidence from actual viewers.
What's the "evidence from actual viewers"?Delete
Under WhiteRabbitRadioTV's posting on YouTube, Thor Odinson calls the cartoon "an amazing piece of comedy." Sure it is funny, if you are a WN who gets the inside jokes. This is the kind of person who says, "Wow this is great! This should be reposted everywhere!" They are only thinking about what pleases them, not about how to persuade people who don't already agree.
What do people who are not already members of the WN choir have to say?
I see a comment a few hours ago from "Annabelle French," who calls the cartoon "blatant propaganda," and says, "Epic Fail. You can't fool me."
"Blatant propaganda" is a very damning comment. It means that you didn't even get a foot in the door, so far as influencing this person's thinking is concerned. OF COURSE it is "blatant propaganda": casting Hitler as an anti-racist is a blatant example of Godwin's Law, which has been around since 1990.
YouTube is open to all who want to submit videos. Come up with something you think will work and submit it.Delete

Since the cartoon has been posted on a number of sites that get heavy traffic, and probably also promoted extensively through BUGSter spam, I am not surprised that it has gotten a lot of views.Delete
If you want to know what people got out of it, however, you have to look at what they say about it. I know that some people experience it simply as trolling.
In the ten most recent comments that I see under WhiteRabbitRadioTV's post on YouTube, most of them seem to be from members of the WN congregation chanting AMEN -- repeatedly.ReplyDelete
The few non-BUGSter comments indicate a perception that the cartoon is obvious bullshit.
That's understandable. I don't understand why BUGSters can't see that they aren't fooling anybody with their attempts at tricky rhetoric, as if Reductio ad Hitlerum were not already old hat decades ago.
But it gets worse than that.
Of the ten most recent comments, there are three saying, "Genocide is bad." These are all obviously from people trained in BUGSter rhetoric. Now, when you consider that the BUGSters are referring to the UN's extremely BROAD definition of genocide -- which had the purpose of preventing any nation-state from preserving its racial integrity -- the benefit of what the BUGSters are doing becomes highly questionable. In fact I regard their efforts as counterproductive, because they are endorsing the criminalization of White history and cutting the moral legs out from under options that we may need for our own future survival.
Yeah, I'm really excited about this event and I dreamt about that for a long-long time! But I can't go, I'm so sorry. But from this time, I'll spend more time on funky-fruits-slot.com will get a lot of money and will visit that with no doubts. You can join me and we'll have fun there together. And after we'll can go to Tanoa as well!ReplyDelete
