The internet is at it again.
Every so often one lucky human being will post something to the internet that immediately goes viral, as legions of fans express their admiration via tweets, hashtags, Instagrams and more.
The latest to absolutely sweep up the hearts of the internet hive mind is 32-year-old Nusret Gokce of Turkey.
At first glance, he's just a dude with a mop of dark hair who co-owns a restaurant in Turkey and happens to be a chef. In fact, Gokce is also a father of nine, and, most importantly, is known to the internet as #SaltBae, because of the serious sensual way he salts his meats.
No, that wasn't a euphemism.
#SaltBae is a hash-tag trending on Twitter, and it refers to the nickname the internet gifted Gokce because of how much flair he puts into the act of seasoning and stroking the raw pieces of meat he prepares.
Essentially, he just roams around in elegant outfits with his hair on fleek and cuddles and caresses slabs of meat.
But the internet isn't complaining.
Whatever, #SaltBae. Keep on doing you.

A new law restricting full-contact practices in middle school and high school football will take effect Jan. 1, 2015, after getting the signature of Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday.
Schools will be limited to two full-contact practices per week, neither of which are to exceed 90 minutes. It also prohibits full-contact practices in the offseason.
The change is being made to cut down on concussions and other brain injuries.
Los Altos coach Trevor Pruitt thinks the legislators have gone too far.
"It's horrible," Pruitt said. "They're handicapping our kids. It will be bad for (college) recruiting compared to kids from Texas or Florida. Tackling is everything in the game of football. What's going to happen is that there is going to be a lot of sloppy football. I'm surprised there aren't attorneys lined up to sue to get it repealed."
Nineteen other states have banned full-contact high school football practices in the offseason, according to a legislative analysis.
Serra-San Mateo football coach Patrick Walsh said the new law won't affect his program.
"We limit our contact sessions in practice anyway," Walsh said. "I've been on that path for a long time. We don't want to do too much contact. We want to be healthy and in good shape come November and December. No need to have heavy contact sessions on a Wednesday at 4:15. If it's on a Friday night at around 7:35, that's football. I'm happy with that."
"It's good in terms of protecting kids," Sacred Heart Prep-Atherton football coach Peter Lavorato said. "We've stopped hitting so much as the years have gone by. We've had to learn to practice tackling more efficiently."
Lavorato said he has no qualms with the new law, but he stressed the importance of learning how to tackle properly.
"You have to be able to tackle and you have to be able to block," Lavorato said. "Tackling just doesn't happen naturally. You have to practice it. It takes a lot of repetition. When you see someone tackle properly in a game, you know he has done it dozens of times. You can't go into a game and not know how to block or tackle. You'll get hurt that way."
With the rise in concussions, coaches have had to spend more time educating players, not only on tackling technique but on how to recognize concussion symptoms.
"Any injury is a big concern," Walsh said. "Football is a violent game. We have discussions about supporting each other on the field. We teach the kids the symptoms of concussions and tell them to turn the kid into the staff. They all know not to tackle with their head down. Not to downgrade concussions, but we are also worried about players being paralyzed and the spine breaking."
Sequoia-Redwood City coach Rob Poulos hosted a four-team contact camp for the first time in mid-July.
"We were joking because we knew this was coming down the pike," Poulos said. "We called it, 'The First and Last Sequoia Contact Camp.' "
Poulos is concerned what effect the law will have on kids attending contact camps that are held at colleges.
"Berkeley, Stanford, San Jose State and Menlo College all hold padded camps," Poulos said. "I wonder if kids will go out of state to attend camps."
Poulos said Sequoia has no-pad practices Monday and Thursday during game weeks. On Tuesday, the Cherokees hit but don't throw players to the ground. Wednesday is the day for live tackling.
"Our practices are 2 1/2 hours," Poulos said. "We'll have to figure out how much we are going to hit. It shouldn't affect us too much."
Lavorato said dealing with the law may take some time for coaches to adjust.
"We'll figure it out," Lavorato said. "It affects everybody. It's even-Steven."
Pruitt vows to savor the last year of unlimited contact in practice.
"My players are going to be in full gear every day," Pruitt said. "It's going to be old-style football. We're going to do a lot of hitting."

Reliant Regals and Robins enjoy something of a special place in British culture as symbols of British eccentricity. An example of a Reliant is the iconic van belonging to Del Boy and Rodney Trotter in the long-running BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses. The van is frequently, and incorrectly, referred to as a Robin, but is actually a Regal Supervan. The Trotters' original van is now on display in the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, while one of two 'back-up' vans was sold in 2007 for over £44,000

At season's midway point, time to hand out some hardware (VIDEO)
In 2012, we had Miguel Cabrera vs. Mike Trout.
In 2013, we had Miguel Cabrera vs. Mike Trout . . . Part II.
In 2014, we have Jonathan Lucroy vs. Troy Tulowitzki.
It's not exactly the same Most Valuable Player debate, but the arguments are very similar. Tulowitzki is the National League's best all-around player — as Trout was in the American League for each of the past two seasons (and the current one, too). Lucroy, meanwhile, is the NL's most indispensable player, anchoring the offense and defense of a Milwaukee Brewers team with the league's best record.
From a purely statistical basis, Tulowitzki would be the choice. He's the major-league leader in OPS and one of the top defensive shortstops in the game. He leads the NL in Wins Above Replacement, according to FanGraphs.com, and is second only to Trout in the majors.
The factors against Tulo: His Colorado Rockies have dropped to last in the NL West and are effectively out of the playoff picture with nearly half the season to play. And some critics — not me — will hold it against him that he's posting those gaudy numbers at hitter-friendly Coors Field. (For all the runs they've scored since the franchise's inaugural game in 1993, the Rockies have accounted for only one MVP — Larry Walker in '97.)
If handed a ballot today, I'd cast my vote for Lucroy. He ranks sixth in the NL with a .907 OPS while catching the fourth-most innings in the majors. He's one of the top defensive catchers in baseball — particularly when it comes to framing pitches — and is arguably the biggest reason the Brewers have exceeded expectations by such a large margin this year.
For all the valuable advanced metrics in the sport today, it's impossible to quantify how trust in a catcher's receiving ability influences pitch selection, execution, and ultimately winning and losing.
In that sense, a team's performance is absolutely relevant in the MVP discussion. In a team sport, the context is crucial. The MVP criteria are vague — perhaps intentionally so — but I interpret them to mean, "Which player has made the greatest contribution to his team's success this year?" Midway through the 2014 season, in the National League, that player is Lucroy.
By the end of the season, Lucroy's toughest challenger for the award may be Miami's Giancarlo Stanton or Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen, the reigning MVP. Stanton has kept the Marlins near .500 despite the catastrophic absence of ace Jose Fernandez, while McCutchen has lifted the Pirates from their early-season malaise and back into the playoff picture.
Meanwhile, Trout is well on his way to ensuring no grand philosophical debate will occur in the AL this season. No longer merely the best player in the sport, Trout, in his third full season, is performing in a fashion that has reinvigorated an entire franchise. The Angels are poised to reach the postseason for the first time in five years, despite a below-average pitching staff. Trout has made up for that shortcoming — sometimes, it seems, all by himself.
Trout leads the AL in OPS and ranks among the league's top 10 in runs, home runs and RBI. He's 10 for 10 in stolen bases. He's even tied for the major-league lead in sacrifice flies — evidence that he's taking a more veteran approach to at-bats with men in scoring position. He won't turn 23 until next month — and yet he's the most complete player in the game.
My full MVP ballots at the midway point . . .
AL: 1) Mike Trout, 2) Adam Jones, 3) Edwin Encarnacion, 4) Josh Donaldson, 5) Jose Bautista, 6) Masahiro Tanaka, 7) Victor Martinez, 8) Kyle Seager, 9) Alex Gordon, 10) Ian Kinsler.
NL: 1) Jonathan Lucroy, 2) Giancarlo Stanton, 3) Troy Tulowitzki, 4) Andrew McCutchen, 5) Todd Frazier, 6) Carlos Gomez, 7) Yasiel Puig, 8) Anthony Rendon, 9) Paul Goldschmidt, 10) Freddie Freeman.
And because I really enjoy constructive reader feedback, my half-season picks for the other awards:
AL Cy Young: 1) Felix Hernandez, 2) Masahiro Tanaka, 3) Garrett Richards, 4) Corey Kluber, 5) Yu Darvish.
NL Cy Young: 1) Adam Wainwright, 2) Johnny Cueto, 3) Clayton Kershaw, 4) Julio Teheran, 5) Zack Greinke.
AL Rookie of the Year: 1) Masahiro Tanaka, 2) Jose Abreu, 3) George Springer.
NL Rookie of the Year: 1) Billy Hamilton, 2) Chris Owings, 3) Aaron Barrett.
AL Manager of the Year: 1) Bob Melvin, 2) Buck Showalter, 3) John Gibbons.
NL Manager of the Year: 1) Mike Redmond, 2) Ron Roenicke, 3) Bruce Bochy.

I'm Erika Madden, the Chief Delightful Officer of Olyvia. ("Chief Olyvia" if you need to get super fancy.)
Why am I here? One reason: to aid women control their digital image, rise to the top, to make more money by using a powerhouse combo of digital customer care + reputation + marketing savvy.
In short?
I'm in the commercial of making YOU look irresistible online.
Part communications & reputation expert and part internet marketing strategist, I'm the consultant packing the smart skills that permit you to make more cash doing what's essential to you — and check great (like, really really delightful) while you're in internet marketing.
I help you if you:
- want to take a look sophisticated + reputable on all your digital spaces
- utterly delight your visitors and clients
- dream about using a passionate, supportive community that goes wild over anything you do
- are determined to come with an online presence that doesn't look scammy OR silly
- know that PR faux pas prevention is much easier than scrambling to get the (cringeworthy) piecesBUT maybe…
- you don't be aware of first thing about what your prospects really want to experience from you
- you go a little crazypants inside (and quite often out!) facing online complaints or criticisms
- you secretly worry that you're not experienced or competent enough to have the publicity + next-level success you want
- you need objective guidance in building a website + social networking presence that's as profitable as it's pretty
- should you're really honest, you simply don't make time to actively protect and shape your brand's online reputation
(Also, should you love your coffee with plenty of cream + you cry as you're watching TV commercials? I help you, too.)
I have 11+ years launching and growing blogs, developing websites, and helping businesses, non-profits, and folks market themselves both internet and off.
Plus, I've worked from the corporate world in demanding customer care roles.
My experience has educated me in one big truth: it will take hard work to be seen (for those right reasons) on the web, and it's even harder to acheive it in a way that is strategic, professional, and outrageously attractive.
But guess what happens else I know?
The hardest things to perform in life are those that are most worth pursuing.
Not because there's anything inherently meaningful about knowing how to check irresistible online, but as a result of what it's likely to mean on your life after you can…
1. genuinely surprise + thrill your visitors,
2. earn a five-star reputation,
3. and initiate making money and never having to resort to spam/threats/half-truths.
That's what matters. And that's why I'm here.
I'm so glad you're here, too.

The hotel also has a shuttle service to get you to and from the nearby Main Street restaurants, retail stores, and supermarket (first come, first served). Comfortable walking distance to the Park City Mountain Resort, or a short city bus ride to Deer Valley Resort. Parking and ski lockers also available. The hotel has an indoor / outdoor heated pool, and seperate jacuzzi to relax in after a day on the slopes or walking around town, and a workout facility if the snow is not enough for you. Good value for a clean, well kept, and quiet room, with a cozy fire place. Kitchen is nice sized to comfortably cook a meal should you decide to save a few bucks. Wash / dryer unit next to the kitchen area; next time we'll lighten the luggage and bring less clothes. Best of all, the hotel staff was a friendly and helpful team, who worked well together to make our stay an enjoyable and memorable experience. We'll be back at the Silver King the next time we're in Park City.
Aloha... The Tamanaha's from Hawaii
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Transport projects on track to link up Northern cities
5:14pm 6th December 2011
The Department of Transport (DfT) has now officially confirmed to City of York Council that government plans, as part of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement, to electrify the Transpennine Express Route from Manchester to York via Leeds have been given the go ahead.
Upgrading transpennine railway links between Manchester, Leeds and York have been given the green light by the government and the push for electrification of the York-Harrogate-Leeds railway line is being backed by partners across the region.
Leaders across the region are working together to produce a viable businesses case to support proposals to take forward the upgrade of the Harrogate railway line.
Partners across the region including City of York Council, Harrogate Council, Metro and the Harrogate Chamber of Commerce are discussing electrification proposals for the line.
Electric trains will provide faster links to York while offering growing passenger numbers quality alternatives to the car.
The government also announced 'accelerated approval' of funding for 20 major schemes, including York's Access York plans, as part of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement.
Plans for the city's proposals to replace Askham Bar Park & Ride site with a larger facility and to create a new site on the A59 near Poppleton took a step forward.
The £22m project represents one of the largest single investments in the city's transport infrastructure since the northern ring road was built.
Cllr Dave Merrett, Cabinet Member for City Strategy, said:
"This has been a significant month for York. We've taken a huge step forward to making two of these transport schemes a reality and getting the third scheme eon the map, which will bring greater benefits to the city and the wider north of England.
"The Access York scheme will take a further 300,000 cars off York's roads, reduce congestion levels; facilitate the development of the British Sugar & York Central sites, and reduce York's carbon output by 1,500 tonnes per year.
"I'd like to thank all those who have worked on the bid for all their hard work and dedication in getting it to this stage."
Details of the schemes are available on the council's website at http://www.york.gov.uk/transport/

All this is unusual, but it fits the style of the show, something the game goes out of its way to do. The story of Sidetracked is presented as a "lost chapter" of the TV series, and it's scripted by the show's writers and packed with the same postmodern gags and trippy visuals. Also, players can choose between either Mugen or Jin at the beginning, and each follows a different path through the story. Each one's fighting style is intact as well - monkey-like Mugen hops around and slashes like crazy, while calm, collected Jin uses more graceful, precise strikes.
Rounding out the package are an unlockable third character, a dream sequence aimed at old-school gamers and a free-roaming castle town players can visit between levels to buy music and play shaved-ice-eating minigames. Assuming its rough edges are hammered out before its spring release, Sidetracked's sense of humor and unique approach could make it worth snagging.

This section details the playable races of the Kylvincast world. The playable races are broken up into three groups:
Common Races
Races that are fairly prevalent in the world and can be chosen by any player as their characters race without GM approval.
- Dwarves
- The sometimes surly dwarves have the distinction of creating the oldest civilization known. Having fought ancient wars against planar foes the Dwarves are suspicious of other races and see themselves as the protectors of Kylvincast.
- Elves
- The Elves have not been in Kylvincast for long. Originally sent by there Fey Lords as part of an invasion force the Elves found that they preferred this new land of freedom to their servitude in the First World and decided to make peace with the other races and remain here.
- Halflings
- The barbaric tribes that make up the Halfling race have existed for almost as long as the Dwarven clans but their lack of structure has prevented the Halflings from amassing in force. Those outsiders who think these small people are weak do not understand the true savage nature of these people.
- Humans
- Humans are the most diverse race in all of Kylvincast. While others cling to their race as a sense of identity the short-lived and quickly reproducing humans look to their surrounding culture for their identity.
- Orcs
- These bestial folk were the most prevalent surface dwellers of Kylvincast until the first migration of Humans began to overtake the land. Unlike the other races, Orcs seem to be perfectly at home in the wild places of the world and even seem to thrive in the places others dare not to go.
Uncommon Races
Mostly consisting of offshoots of other races these are less abundant than their common cousins. Any decent background explanation will gain GM approval.
- Aasimars
- Good-outsider blooded
- Ifrits
- Fire-outsider blooded
- Oreads
- Earth-outsider blooded
- Sylphs
- Air-outsider blooded
- Tieflings
- Evil-outsider blooded
- Undines
- Water-outsider blooded
Rare Races
Races that are very seldom seen in the world and are difficult to explain as being player characters. Will require an in-depth background to gain GM approval.
- Drow
- Part of invasion
- Duergars
- An offshoot faction of dwarves that live in the deepest places of the world fighting against the abominations that reside at the heart of the world.
- Goblins
- Hobgoblins
- Kobolds
- Strixs
- Vishkanyas
Other races are not currently approved for use in Kylvincast but may be added at a later date.

Playing Nasus Successfully [READ ME]
Basically, an un-farmed Nasus is like having an AD Karthus on your team. Minus the R. COMPLETELY USELESS. I cannot stress this enough, farm farm farm farm farm. You need to be farming or ganking ALL the time, unless there is a tower in danger, etc. Even then, FARM. Go into the jungle here and there and FARM.
2. Last hit with your Q as much as possible. Duh.
Focus on last hitting. Farming your Q early game will definitely surprise them later. They will engage you like "OH LOL NASUS IS A NOOB CHAMP" and then you will crush half of their health with your Q. It hurts, and as long as you focus farming your Q whenever possible, and using it to last hit as soon as it comes up, you will have no problems. This is important early game.
3. You aren't the main tank. Don't get cocky.
Okay, sure, if you're mega fed late game, maybe you can 2v1 or even 3v1. But you sure as hell can't 5v1. You aren't pre-nerf Xin Zhao. Don't get cocky, you can die.
4. Don't be afraid to use your ultimate a bit early.
I see so many Nasus' who use their ultimate 5 seconds into the massive team fight. Don't even do it. Pop your ultimate BEFORE the team fight, even if it's before you begin attacking. Your ultimate followed by a Wither will empower you, while you debuff them. Perfect way to initiate, but remember, you aren't invincible.
5. On the same note, don't waste your ultimate.
Popping your ult for a gank is... just no. If it's a 2v1 gank, and you pop your ult, you just wasted it. However, if you're in a 1v1 situation, and you're getting about half HP, pop it. A LOT of players seem to forget what your ult does. But please, for the love of god, don't pop your ult without Wither up. If you pop it, and chase them and they get away, you're going to look like an ***.
6. Nasus is a strong jungler, don't be afraid to leave the lane for a minute or two.
This is another thing many people overlook - he is a great jungler. And even though I don't play him in the jungle, if you annihilated your enemy top lane, and the first tower is dead, go steal a buff somewhere. However, if there is a massive *** wave of minions heading your way , farm your Q instead. Your Q being farmed is 4932849238424% more important than getting red buff.
7. Don't be greedy.
Normally, you won't have to chase somebody for too long before they die. The Wither + Exhaust combo will slow them plenty enough. However, if they do Flash through a wall, or they are somehow getting away ( Master Yi) do not chase them too far or you will likely die.
8. Nasus can tower dive, but be careful.
Nasus is a GREAT tower diver because of his slow, burst damage and ultimate that gives him HP. But do not get greedy. That Lux or Morgana will juke you to space and you will look like an *** when you die.
[Passive]Easily one of my favorite passives. This makes it so you can pretty much skip over getting lifesteal. You can get more if you choose, but I never do. This will keep you in lane for MUCH longer than most, and highly increases your 1v1 capability.
[Q]True burst damage. This is what makes Nasus... Nasus. It gives 3 PERMANENT damage to the spell any time you last hit anything with it. If you farm this successfully, you will crush anyone in your path. FARM. Last hit. Use it to burst enemies. Use it whenever possible.
[W]Can you say anti AD carry? A free mini Exhaust. Totally sexy, perfect for initiation. But please, for the love of god... use this on their carries. Do not use this on Singed during a big team fight. You will look like an idiot, and you may have been able to save a teammate. Plus, this will allow you to run up and smack them in the face! :D
[E]Okay, this spell will take some time to get used to. This is a good farming tool, and should be used not only to farm from a distance but also right after you initiate. This will deal a small burst of damage initially, and then some damage over time in that area. However, the biggest part of this is the armor reduction for any enemy champion in the area. Also, you would be surprised how good of a last hitting tool this is for the Ashe that just flashed away with 50 HP. Use it to your advantage.
[R]Ahh yes. This spell. This is another highlight for Nasus, and used to be the only spell that increased your HP temporarily until Renekton came around. Except the only difference is that your ultimate is WAY better than Renekton's. Not only does it grant bonus health, but it also siphons a percentage of nearby enemies MAX health and converts it into AD. It's a tanky DPS's dream ultimate. And you have it, so use it wisely.
Basic Strategy
1v1 is pretty basic. Catch them off guard with a Wither, followed by a Spirit Fire BEHIND where they are running. This will allow you to catch them with the armor reduction buff for a quick Siphoning Strike. At this point, either they ran away or you got the kill. If all else fails and you're losing the fight, turn the tides of battle with Fury of the Sands. But please, you need to know when to just run, pop your ult, or do both.
Team Fights
Now, for team fights it's just a little different. Pop your ultimate, it lasts 15 seconds, Wither the AD carry ( Caitlyn, Ashe, etc), charge them and use Spirit Fire and Q it up. They will be dead before you know it. Move onto the next threat, and so forth. Try to stay as close to as many enemies as possible for max ultimate efficiency, but don't get caught by yourself. Please, for the love of God, do not focus the tanks...
Rinse and repeat.
Greater Quintessence of Lethality
Greater Mark of Lethality
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist
Fairly self explanatory. Armor Penetration to help against your top lane (most top lanes are tanky AD), Flat Armor to counter enemy AD damage (and penetration), and MR/Level Glyphs for late game against those bursty AP carries.
Summoner Spells
Teleport is exceptionally good at keeping yourself up top to farm as much as possible. It is also very good for teleporting to wards to set up ganks. Even if you have a bad start, you can Teleport back to top for a chance to redeem yourself.
Exhaust pairs well with Wither. You can have (basically) two Exhausts up on a team at one time, or you can chain them together on one target for an easy chase.
You can choose to replace one of the recommended spells with one of these.
Flash is probably the strongest summoner spell in the game for most champions. Crazy good utility. Never a bad choice.
Ignite is another strong spell. Since your damage is fairly bursty, Ignite adds some nice DPS and makes for a fairly simple first blood.
I am not going to spend much time talking about Summoner Spells. Everyone has their preference, and these are mine, and I think they are the strongest for Nasus, but you may disagree.
Tanky AD masteries. Hardiness is the obvious choice for top, and Resistance is incase they throw a curveball (say, Kennen or Morgana top.) HP/Level and HP regen will help you maintain tankyness, and the rest is cake. In the Offense tree, some AD and Armor Pen is nice. The attack speed also helps a tad.
Choosing Boots for Nasus
Nasus is a Tanky DPS. With this being said, it's your choice what kind of boots you get. If 2 or more champions have some sort of CC, Mercury's Treads. 2 or so auto attackers? Ninja Tabi. Simple.
Early Game
A simple start for a top. Health Potions for sustain, and Boots of Speed for utility.
Early/Mid Game
This is where the farm begins. Glacial Shroud is an extremely strong item for Nasus. Armor against the standard AD top, and CDR for farming. Sheen for Q synergy.
Mid Game
If you have this by mid game, you are farming great, and chances are, you're starting to own it up. Start gettin' dem stacks.
Mid/Late Game
Mo' damage. Awesome for tanky DPS.
Late Game
Movement speed is nice. Obvious finisher from Sheen
End Game
Okay, now the last item depends on what their team has, and where you stand. If they have heavy AP, or you need MR? Banshee's Veil. If they are all AD, or you are doing fine in terms of survivability, or they are just bad, Infinity Edge. It will skyrocket your damage, especially on Siphoning Strike crits.
Choose wisely.

Starting Over
I am currently hosting a Network install (with Buddypress) that I originally created with version wpmu 2.7. In comparison with my newer 3.1 Network install — where things run a lot smoother — I feel like somewhere along the upgrade process things have gone astray. Example: In the 2.7-3.05 version, as the network admin, I need to log into every subdomain blog I want to visit, and yet on the 3.1 install, logging into the main domain, gives me logged in access to all of the subdomains. Pair that with the deprecated notices of a site that has code from before the 3.0 merge, and I'm wondering what it would take to start fresh.
If I took a fresh install, and pointed the wp-config.php to my existing database (750 users, 500+ sites)
Pulled in my wp-content themes and plugins, my mu-plugins folder, and my blogs dir folder, would my network survive? Am I forgetting something huge?
Is there something easier I could do? My wp-config file looks a heck of a lot different than the fresh install, maybe I just need to regenerate that?

Issue 59 The North Fall 2015
A Model Railway Journey
Ava Kofman
The impulse to miniaturize the world and reproduce it as an image is an old one. Encyclopedias, the Whole Earth Catalog, Gravity's Rainbow, cabinets of wonder, Google Maps—the examples are endless. But by far the most earnest, absurd, and tender of such visions is the world's largest miniature railway.
As with so many aspirations to totality, the world's largest miniature railway was fueled by colossal, quixotic ambitions. In 2000, a nightclub owner by the name of Frederik Braun visited a model train shop in Zurich when, as he tells it, he started to dream. He dreamt of building the largest model railway the world had ever seen. He called his twin brother and business partner, Gerrit, "who is more rational and skeptical by nature," and tried to convince him that his idea wasn't insane. Eventually, he succeeded. And, as in a fairy tale, a few years and tens of thousands of dollars later, a team of engineers helped make their dream come true.
In 2003, along the banks of the Elbe River where it snakes through downtown Hamburg, the Miniatur Wunderland was born. Housed in a repurposed warehouse, it is a sprawling reproduction of elements of the world's geography, connected by nearly ten miles of intricate built-to-scale railway tracks, which lengthen with each passing year. The constituent parts are tiny, but the Wunderland's scale staggers: over 200,000 individually designed human figurines, 930 trains, 8,850 cars and ships, 215,000 trees, 300 people-sized employees, and millions of annual visitors from around the world.
I first learned of Hamburg's most popular tourist attraction from its promotional trailer on YouTube, which has over twenty million views. A clipped, German-accented voice tells of the Wunderland's numerological marvels with unselfconsciously comic exactitude. It describes how its replicas of Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, and parts of the United States will soon be joined by "parts of Africa." Adopting the rhetoric of a conquering empire, it boasts that the Miniatur Wunderland is always expanding.
What was it, I wondered, as I watched aerial shots of tiny shimmering cities, tiny airports, tiny humans making love in a field of tiny sunflowers, that would lead someone to build such a gigantic small world? Was it just my imagination or was there something about the Wunderland's suggestion of infinity, its potential to expand and swallow the real world, that echoed Germany's own imperial, industrial, and military histories?
Not long after, I booked a flight, a train, and a ferry to Hamburg. I went to the Wunderland expecting to find a metaphor both less and more than the sum of its improbably numerous parts, its machinery caught between a positivist dream and a totalitarian nightmare. But what I discovered was not so much a Gesamtkunstwerk as a protean work-in-progress, a workshop suffused with a model train enthusiast's sense of wonder.
When the optimist twin Freddie called the pessimist twin Gerrit from Zurich to tell him about his idea for a model railway, Gerrit asked him if he was suffering from a sunstroke. The two had run a successful nightclub together for over a decade, despite the frequent turnover of discos in Hamburg. So, despite his initial skepticism, Gerrit was soon on board. "You share your luck and double it with a twin brother," he explained.
When Frederik returned to Hamburg, the brothers began to discuss what a miniature train world might look like. They knew of at least ten model train set exhibitions in Germany alone. Featuring trains as the main attraction, with the surrounding landscape serving as background, they were of little interest to anyone who was not already a die-hard train hobbyist.
Considering what their competitors lacked, the twins began to list what they might put in their new world and quickly realized that 90 percent of their ideas had nothing to do with trains at all. They fantasized about building a mini–mini golf course, a massive music festival, the Eiffel Tower, the Eiffel Tower of Las Vegas, a chocolate factory. What most excited them was the act of miniaturization—its technical challenges, its inherent comedy, its demiurgic allure. They wanted to build a world where some people came for the trains, but everyone stayed for the scenery. It would be "a small world in front" for tourists and families, "with trains in the back" for model railway enthusiasts.
But even with these populist goals, they were nervous: the demographics of model railway enthusiasts skew very elderly, very male; they worried that women might not respond to the attraction, that teenagers might be bored. One of their solutions was the name Miniatur Wunderland, which, by not referencing trains, allowed them greater creative freedom. Gerrit told me that whenever train enthusiasts point out historical inaccuracies in a given layout, he replies, "It's a Wunderland." "Wunder" lets the twins sidestep the realist constraints of model railroading. It has also made their enterprise immensely popular.
Sebastian Dreschler, a younger half-brother of the twins and the Wunderland's head of communications, described the Wunderland's vast, two-story layout as a "huge playground." And as he gave me a tour, I started to see what he meant. Quirky details and inside jokes fill every inch of the display: a Coca-Cola bear dances on an iceberg in Sweden; the German soccer team always wins its animatronic match; cars follow traffic rules; a gas station adjusts its prices for inflation; a mob boss hides a dead body in one of many forests; over twenty thousand figurines attend a music festival complete with a rotating cast of tiny performers. In Borgesian fashion, there's even a scale replica of the Miniatur Wunderland itself. If you push a button, a miniature miniature train circles a tiny track.
Frederik and Gerrit's fundamental insight, in reversing the foreground and background, was to extend the panoramic perspective afforded by model train sets to the objects of the world. At such a scale, Sebastian says, there is "enough space to think and to play," even to fantasize about smaller-than-life solutions to real-world problems. When I visited in the fall of 2014, Hamburg's new concert hall, the Elbharmonie, was closed to the public due to construction delays. But the Wunderland's own Elbharmonie was very much open, so much so that Frederik and Gerrit hosted the city's philharmonic orchestra for a live concert, which they synced with the movements of the miniature musicians.
Gerrit sees the Wunderland as a makeshift refuge for the many who make the pilgrimage. "They can leave all [their] problems behind," he said, "and can dream." Nearly eight hundred visitors have annual membership cards and visit multiple times a year. One man has visited every Tuesday for the past nine years, adhering to his own internal train schedule. Another spent three days traveling from Tokyo to immerse himself in the exhibition. Gerrit told me he never anticipated all of the fan mail, or the amount of visitors who seemed to be "enthusiasts, not tourists."
Sebastian said he initially thought of model trains as a "stupid, dusty hobby," not an attraction that would draw nearly two million visitors. He couldn't believe that "a woman from New York"—he gestured to me—would come to see it for three days. In his view, part of the Wunderland's appeal is that it appears less like a business and more like a collective participatory dream. "People don't usually 'throw it all in' in Germany," he said, referring to his brothers' decision to turn the whimsical project their into life's work. According to him, visitors to the Wunderland are not just buying into the delight that comes from gazing upon its meticulously engineered vistas; they are also enchanted by the "do what you love" ethos evoked by its founding myth.
When I asked Sebastian when the Wunderland's construction would be over, he laughed. "It will never be finished."
The Wunderland's amusement-park vision of mechanical harmony mirrors the utopian fantasies that were once attached to the real railroad. To its boosters in the mid-nineteenth century, the train was an engine of progress. Just as early celebrants of the Internet saw it as an unambiguously democratic platform, these techno-optimists saw the railway as a great equalizer, one that would usher in a brighter, better age.
At the very least, the railway provided both young and old with a sensory education. It shrunk vast distances into mere seconds—what Marx famously called "the annihilation of space by time." Travelers now found themselves in a miniaturized world. "The Mediterranean, which is now only a week from us, has before our eyes shrunk into a lake," exclaimed an article in the 1839 Quarterly Review, "and the great lakes of the world are rapidly drying into ponds!"
Even as it destroyed the distance between towns, the railroad also opened up a greater amount of space than had ever before been accessible. The German poet Heinrich Heine captured this sense when he wrote, "I feel as if the mountains and the forests of all countries were advancing on Paris." Distant towns, cities, and countries were no longer worlds apart. Now, in the words of the great railway historian Wolfgang Schivelbusch, you could travel between them "untouched by the space traversed."
To accomplish this spatial reconfiguration, the railroad needed to make space regular. Because tracks needed to be constructed on certain gradients, and were intensely sensitive to the exigencies of topography, the rails had to reshape the land according to their needs. No wonder one fin de siècle writer described traveling by train as "really being nowhere." Speeding through this newly flattened countryside on smooth rails was a far cry from taking a rambling walk or making a sweaty journey by horse. Impressions flew by quickly, and were often lost. Tunnels and telegraph poles interrupted views of the landscape so that it was perceived less as a vista than as a moving background. Ralph Waldo Emerson described the passing towns he encountered during his "dreamlike travelling on the railroad" as "pictures on a wall." The train car was a sort of theater, its images overlapping in quick succession as in an early filmic montage.
It is no accident, according to Schivelbusch, that the mobile, roaming gaze enabled by the railway emerged alongside both the panorama, the late nineteenth century's dominant visual attraction, and the department store, its mass incarnation. "In panoramic perception," Schivelbusch writes, "the objects were attractive in their state of dispersal." Seen from a railway car, the landscape could no longer be evaluated in terms of particular local features, such as a village, a mountain, or a church. Aesthetic appeal was based, instead, on the sum of these fleeting impressions.
As with a full-sized railway, the pleasure of gazing at the Wunderland's shrunken, swollen universe depends less on appreciating any given miniature scene in isolation than it does on experiencing the sweep of its rolling landscapes. Like a department store, its novelty lies in its impressive assemblage and circulation of heterogeneous parts. The Wunderland tourist is constantly in motion, soaking up the details of the layout's particulars. Yet when her eye rests for too long on any given particular, she is spurred back into motion by the system's circulation, by the approach of a train or the push of someone in the crowd angling for a better view.
As we toured an Italian landscape then under construction, Sebastian told me that people visited the Wunderland for the same reason they went to the Empire State Building. "From above," he said, "you can dream about the world."
In 2013, the Wunderland donated one square meter to each of the six major political parties in Germany, asking them to envision what the nation would look like if their party were in power. Top politicians and their advisors visited the Wunderland to participate in this special "Utopia" exhibition. They fretted for weeks over the small details, which each took on the symbolic importance of a plank in a political platform. They had to decide what to include, what to emphasize, and which scenarios would convey their policies most precisely; essentially, what kind of world they wanted to imagine into existence.
These are the same questions facing the Wunderland's designers. In their heroic quest for a signature type of realism, they, too, weigh abstraction and accuracy. Choosing the materials, the colors, the scale—these are the easy decisions. Then there are the questions that are not simply practical, but ideological: Which of a nation's features and landmarks should be considered? What criteria (popularity, proximity, and so on) should determine their inclusion? What type of realism is at stake? Whose point of view is this, anyway?
Frederik tells me that they initially developed the exhibition as a pure fantasy. The first section of the layout, Knuffingen, was a fictional German town, an everywhere that is nowhere in particular. He explained that later sections, inspired by specific locations, attempted to evoke recognizable tropes. At one point, the Swiss embassy complained that their section of the layout was "all stereotype." But it would be more accurate to say that the entire Wunderland is itself a stereotype of a stereotype, dull in its reproduction of well-worn touristic desires, though occasionally brilliant in its descriptive precision.
When planning the Italy layout, the entire construction team traveled to the Amalfi coast for a week. They took numerous pictures of the dramatic cliffs, in an effort to reproduce the fine textures of the rocks. "Never before, we had to squeeze so much history into such close quarters," reads a press release for the new Italy layout, in a slightly off-kilter English translation. But "history" might be a generous term for describing what the Wunderland's realism includes.
Although many people are interested in the Wunderland in spite of its railways, the attraction's aesthetics remain a testament to the railway enthusiast's ingenuity. In order to incorporate its own mechanics into its spectacle, the Wunderland shows you both the view from above—peaceful, serene, perfect—as well as the view from below: the ongoing labor of its construction, its hidden tracks and wires. Glass panels along the sides of mountains reveal the layers of wood, wiring, and plaster beneath the layout. Through a large window, visitors can watch technicians and artists as they work on new regions of the model. The craftsman, too, becomes part of the small world.
By far the most enthusiastic of the Wunderland's motley crew was Andy Uhl. Uhl starred in the videos on the company's prolific YouTube channel, which has nearly eighty thousand subscribers and a horde of international fans who comment constantly. While some of the videos are fictional narratives, most showcase the Wunderland's obsessive attention to technical detail, geographic realism, and troubleshooting. Even in its promotional videos, the Wunderland reveals both its photogenic surfaces and behind-the-scenes calculations.
Sebastian explained that the Wunderland's trick perspectives comprise "the sum of so many different views and more than five hundred hands, which together create the real view." Unlike Disneyland, which makes a point of hiding its craft in the service of magic, the Wunderland is all about pulling back the curtain, displaying its labor of love.
By far the strangest of these many "reveals" is the Wunderland's control room, which serves as the routing system for the hundreds of trains. An array of Tron-like screens beams their coming and goings. Wunderland workers watch the displays and push buttons, ostensibly to help things along. But when I first saw the control room featured in the promotional trailer, a part of me wondered if it was just for show: a simulacrum of control, its buttons leading nowhere. In retrospect, I wonder if the control room was, in its aspirations to real-world power, a sort of life-sized miniature. The room appears as a throwback to a Cold War bunker, a fantasy of (small) world domination.
Gerrit said that he built a larger control room than was originally needed, anticipating that the Wunderland would expand. He bet correctly—both in terms of the expansion of its own world and its expansion into ours. "There are only six countries left from which we had no visitors so far," one press release maintains. "We hope to erase one or the other blank spot on the map in 2014."
Of course, the logic of the toy train has incorporated the possibility for infinite expansion from its beginnings. Some of the earliest locomotive models were built as marketing materials for railways, perhaps in the hope that miniaturizing these giant machines would make them more palatable to the masses. When the first mass-produced toy train set was launched by the German firm Marklin in 1891, the company introduced a series of standard parts, so that children and adults could expand their starter sets indefinitely. This iterative marketing scheme created an insatiable imperial desire in rich and poor consumers alike, both
of whom could satisfy their needs at different price points and sizes. For Marklin, it created a constant revenue stream.
Unsurprisingly, groups from around the world, including Qatar, Dubai, Japan, Korea, and New York City, have offered Fredrik and Gerrit large sums to build them Wunderlands. But the brothers have all emphasized their commitment to their hometown. Though knockoffs have opened in the past year, none have achieved anything close to the Wunderland's level of success. "Our success is known all over the world," Fredrik stated. "It's really good for Hamburg." Sebastian explained that if they stay (relatively) small then they can't be "accused of being a business, of being in it for something other than craftsmanship and joy and fun." Passion, not business. Wonder, not trains.
* * *
At the end of my first day at the Wunderland, I took a walk along the placid Elbe, wondering how the experience of the attraction would affect my experience of moving through the world beyond its multi-story realm. All at once I felt—or, maybe, was trying to make myself feel—as though I was becoming more observant of everyday details. A man talking to himself. A stray dog peeing into the water. A bride and groom snapping wedding photos on one of the river's many bridges. Cranes like matchsticks in the harbor. Like latter-day Balzacs, the model-makers collect moments like these from the city, and bind them together with a mathematical understanding of realism as the sum of many small parts.
The next day, when I returned to the Wunderland, televisions in the cafeteria and waiting room were already playing an Ice Bucket Challenge video that the staff had filmed just days earlier. The Wunderland, I realized, was not just a static model city but a vast multimedia apparatus—digesting, remixing, and replaying its own parts. Even the waiting room was well stocked with glossy books detailing the Wunderland's colorful history in multiple languages.
In this light, the Wunderland's partnership with Google Maps to produce thousands of panoramic "Street View" images of the layout is just its latest ingenious publicity stunt.
A titanic mythmaking operation, the Wunderland sells the promise that at the right scale, all of your dreams can come true. It's a tempting fantasy, especially in a time of widespread austerity. One model-builder constructed his dream house in Norway, on the far end of the Scandinavia layout. On the front porch, he placed a little model of himself, enjoying the view.

[instiz] BTS' POSTER UNDER PLAGIARISM SUSPICIONS
Right now, they've removed all the pictures posted online and changed to this
Since Bighit doesn't have a design team, they asked a company outside from Bighit to do the poster
post response: +20
original post: here
1. It's the fault of the contracted firm, not Bighit's
2. All our kids did was to attend their fanmeeting, what wrong did they do?ㅠㅠㅠOur Bighit doesn't even own a design teamㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠThey asked another company to do it and it turned into an unfortunate eventㅠㅠㅠㅠI think that Bighit isn't really knowledgeable about designs, so they just gave the Okay if it looks pretty, they came out with a new poster that's a lot cuter so I like itㅠㅠㅠ Our kids and Bighit are the victims here, please don't swear at them
3. It's a good thing that they corrected right away. It's not the fault of the singers so associating them with plagiarism will tarnish their image... Bighit should've taken more attention.. Please protect Bangtan's image
4. So it turned out to be a contracted company ...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Bighit, Bangtan and their fans, find strength
5. I hope that company gives a feedback, why are our kids being sworn at like this?
6. Sigh why is the company like that... I don't need a feedback from Bighit, but from that company
7. Nowadays, a lot of subcontract companies create those plagiarism issues... Bighit is the victim here
8. There's a difference between who made a mistake and who's to blame...
9. They paid them and they plagiarized..
10. Huh?? That's so similar, please put in some workㅠㅠ

BSOD on SSD during Backups and CHKDSK
This is my first post in this forum. I usually pride myself at be able to work through problems on my own, but this one is beyond me.
The Raptor drive was my C: drive until I installed a Samsung SSD 840 120GB. I installed the SSD on a Asmedia ASM1061 6g Sata card.
The SSD works as expected with the exception of the BSOD at the end (99% complete) of any type of backup I try. The W7 backups crash and the Reflect Backups crash too.
Yesterday I ran CHKDSK and it crashed at the end too.
For now, I have certain folders sent to the Cloud as they are changed. That is my only type of backup.
Any help is appreciated.

I had the W7 splash screen off when I did the CHKDSK /f /r scan a few days ago. The scan screen did not show up so I let the scan run until it ended. Or I thought it ended when the system rebooted and started scanning again. I repeated the scan yesterday with the splash screen on. The scan made it to 5 of 5 and about 45% complete when the system rebooted and started the scan again. That's when I stopped it.
I tried Windows back up again. I was able to backup 1 folder successfully. I tried a system image and got the BSOD at 99%. I tried a system image using Reflect and the same thing happened.

Why did you install the SSD on to an external SATA card?
Other than that if I may ask, why do you need a SATA card for?
(I understand your motherboard only has 3G/s ports).
Just a note, you are not suppose to run the CHKDSK command on an SSD if the built in controller
finds too many bad blocks the drive could lock up.
I suggest you connect the SSD to the on board SATA controller port, back up your data and reinstall Windows correctly.
Regardless of the fact that the hardware probably doesn't match
