THEME : INTRO | ENTRANCE | LAKE DISTRICT | THE LOCK | OLD MASTERS | IMPRESSIONS | PLACE | CLOUD STUDIES | PAINTINGS & MEZZOTINTS | AUDIO TOUR | ALL Constable: Impressions of land, sea and sky celebrates the art of one of the greatest British landscape painters. It focuses on John Constable as a maker of pictures, and works have been selected to emphasise his art-making processes. We have especially placed emphasis on Constable's remarkable oil sketches of land, sea and sky, which contributed so much to the freshness of his work. Among these are fifteen of his brilliant cloud studies painted at Hampstead and seven of his evocative seascapes. We show the large painting of the Stour Valley, A boat passing a lock 1826, which Constable selected to give to the Royal Academy as his Diploma picture when he was elected Royal Academician in 1829. Alongside it is the other large version of the painting, from the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, together with a select group of related works. To demonstrate another way in which Constable created his pictures, and to indicate his training, we also show some of the direct copies he made of paintings by the seventeenth-century landscape artists Claude Lorrain and Jacob van Ruisdael and others, and some of the works that he painted under the general inspiration of the Continental masters who preceded him. One such painting is his magnificent The Vale of Dedham 1827–28 from the National Gallery of Scotland, a work that Constable considered to be one of his finest. We have further included a group of mezzotint engravings, works in which David Lucas translated Constable's paintings into printed editions in close collaboration with the artist. During recent years, several exhibitions in Australia have focused on the work of the French Impressionist landscape painters. However, the origins of our Australian landscape tradition belong more to British art, chiefly to the great achievements of two supreme masters, Constable and JMW Turner. Their generation of British landscape painters included John Sell Cotman, John Crome, Thomas Girtin, Samuel Palmer, Peter de Wint – and our own Australian colonist John Glover, whose art was shown in 2003–04 in Hobart, Adelaide, Canberra and Melbourne. It is ten years since the National Gallery of Australia presented the magnificent exhibition Turner, curated by Michael Lloyd, and there has not been a Constable exhibition in Australia or New Zealand for over thirty years. It is more than time to show this great British landscape painter in Australia again. Constable is one of the most esteemed of all British artists. He painted his landscapes with an intensity of affection, particularly the countryside around his own home in Suffolk. His aim was to paint more naturally than his predecessors, and to do so he realised that it was necessary to develop a new way of seeing nature. This exhibition spans every variety of oil painting in which Constable worked, and shows almost every place to which he became attached. He produced images of a peaceful, prosperous land, inhabited by seemingly contented labourers. But he also showed the darker side of the landscape – a country of shadows and storms, of wind and rain. The most spontaneous of his works are the oil sketches painted in the field, often done on paper small enough to fit into the lid of his paintbox, made as records of transitory appearances and often for the sheer pleasure of seeing and recollecting. Most of these oil sketches were inherited by his children and – together with a number of his remarkable pencil drawings and his delightful smaller-scale exhibition pictures – were given in 1888 by Constable's last surviving child, Isabel, to the British Museum, the National Gallery (now transferred to the Tate), the Royal Academy of Arts, and the South Kensington Museum (Victoria and Albert Museum). We are deeply grateful to these institutions, which have kindly assisted us with substantial loans from their Isabel Constable gifts. They include three works from the British Museum, one from the Tate, eight from the Royal Academy, and seventeen from the Victoria and Albert Museum. It is particularly interesting that the group of sketches presented to the Royal Academy at that time – including the spectacular Rainstorm over the sea c.1824–28 – were all given in the gold frames in which they are now displayed, indicating that by 1888 these works were recognised as works of art in their own right. In this exhibition we emphasise the recognition of Constable's oil sketches as works of outstanding artistic excellence. There are few countries in which landscape painting has been so important to the national culture as Australia. Australia was settled at a time when landscape was the most dynamic and important form of art-making in Britain, and when it contributed most to the prestige of British art. At the beginning of the nineteenth century a distinctive English realism emerged, fresh and more advanced than elsewhere in Europe or America. British landscape painters rejected eighteenth-century classical rationalism and believed instead that landscape art should be more an expression of personal involvement with nature. Outside Britain their approach to landscape art was admired, particularly by progressive French artists. Britain in the nineteenth century grew to become the world's richest and most powerful country, with the largest empire, still expanding, that the world had ever known. Depictions of land and sea, both at home and across the British Empire, therefore, became crucial subjects for paintings. In this wider context, the portrayal of landscape has been part of the process in which British settlers at first claimed territory and then came to terms with the characteristics of the unfamiliar continent. Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, landscape art continued to define the developing Australian nation. Constable was master of truth, originality, and art without artifice. His work was much admired by French artists; Eugène Delacroix never forgot Constable telling him that the green of a meadow was composed of a variety of different greens. It has also been greatly admired by a range of Australian artists, from Tom Roberts through Hans Heysen to Howard Taylor. It is for this reason that in Australia, alongside Constable: Impressions of land, sea and sky, we are presenting a second exhibition, called Australia and Constable, which includes works by some of these Australian artists. Conrad Martens, for instance, was a colonial artist influenced by Constable. In 1848 in Sydney, Martens read CR Leslie's Memoirs of the Life of John Constable and copied into his commonplace book a passage in which Leslie described Constable's cloud studies, including the comment that Constable dated his cloud studies 'with the time of day, the direction of the wind, and other memoranda'. Later, when Tom Roberts was in London in the early 1880s – although it cannot be proved – it is hard to believe that he would not have visited the South Kensington Museum to view Constable's works, including the nine cloud studies then on loan to the Museum. Given the freshness of those works, Roberts would surely have been impressed. Constable's oil sketches are like Roberts's now famous '9 x 5 impressions', some of which he executed in London before returning to Australia in 1885. Constable was a dominant influence on Hans Heysen's art, and Heysen not only demonstrated this in his own art but also in his collecting. Heysen amassed many engraver's proofs of the Constable–Lucas mezzotints; he particularly admired the 'light and shade' of the mezzotints and observed that there was something in Constable's work that appealed to him more than any other landscape painter. Howard Taylor was an incessant observer of nature, and over a number of years he admired Constable's honest depiction of landscape. Most recently, Lesley Duxbury has looked to Constable for inspiration in a series of paintings and prints. She even visited Hampstead Heath to compare the scene 180 years after Constable and created Then and Now as a result of her experience. Given the importance of Constable in Australia it is not surprising that we have a number of his significant works in Australian collections. The National Gallery of Victoria holds the major Study of 'A boat passing a lock' c.1826, as well as the delightful cabinet picture 'The Quarters' behind Alresford Hall 1816, a splendid cloud study and an oil painted after Constable's visit to the Lake District in 1806, together with a large group of Constable–Lucas mezzotints from the collection of the Australian artist, Hans Heysen. And in the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales there is Constable's remarkable copy of a painting by Claude Lorrain, Landscape with goatherd and goats, after Claude 1823. We are most grateful to these institutions for lending these works to the exhibition. It is with great pleasure that we present this important exhibition of the work of John Constable to the Australian and New Zealand public, and we are delighted to have developed the exhibition together with the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, which has been a most supportive partner. I hope that Constable: Impressions of land, sea and sky increases knowledge and understanding of, and enthusiasm for, the work of this major artist.

But, I digress.
Where was I?
Right. Yule logs!
Here comes one now:
I promised Jen this wouldn't be a knotty post! Ha! See, Jen? I can pun with the best of 'em.
Oh, that sort of sounds suggestive. Uh. Never mind.
And finally...The Last One.
So there you have it. The Majestic Yule Log. All warm and fuzzy? Good, good.
Thanks to Carrie F., Melissa B., Jenichan, Anna L., Shannon K., and Jessica S., who I'm sure know what the phrase "dropped a log" means, even if Jen doesn't.
Note: Yes, yes, we know what a Yule Log is. It's the First Fruits tree branch that was carved into a Menorah and given to the Baby Jesus at Winter Solstice. And I'm pretty sure there were Pilgrims involved too.

There are many people who refuse to even try these machines for a variety of reasons. Maybe they're angry that these self check-outs have replaced actual people who are now out of work. Or perhaps, (and this is a big one) they're just scared of looking stupid or doing something wrong while trying to check out. Another reason that some folks avoid them is that it brings flashbacks of their high school job and they find themselves in a cold sweat, muttering "Paper or plastic" in their sleep just thinking about it. And finally, there are the people who are certain that robots are taking over the earth.
For those of you who insist they'd rather have interaction with an actual living, breathing person while paying for your groceries, I'm here to put things in perspective. The last time I got in a check-out lane with an actual cashier, this is how it went...
ME: Hi!
CASHIER: bored and talking to his buddy about his plans for the weekend completely ignoring me
Do you have your customer card?
ME: Yep, here you go.
CASHIER: Did you find everything ok?
Why do they ask this? Why??? "No, I didn't find everything I needed. That's why I'm still wandering around the aisles, asking for help. Can't you tell?" Or let's say you really did have trouble finding something. "I couldn't find the molasses. It took me half an hour and 2 employees to discover where it was hidden." What is the cashier going to do about it? Tell a manager? Suggest reorganizing the aisles to his boss? Insist on more employee training so they can better help the customers? Nope. If you tell him you had a hard time finding an item, he'll say something helpful like, "Oh."
What you need to do is either use the self check-out or have a little fun with it. When the cashier at the grocery store asks if you found everything ok, just tell them, "I had a really hard time finding black shoes in a size 7, king size sheets, and tires for my van." When he looks at you blankly and says, "We don't sell those things, ma'am," just reiterate, "See what I mean?! Even you can't find them!"
Then, as the cashier continues to joke around with his buddy, he absently puts the eggs on the bottom of the bag and tosses a big ole can of sweet potatoes on top of them. This is followed by a loaf of bread and finally topped with a half gallon of ice cream.
Plus, the self check-outs come in handy when you're buying something like Gas-X, tampons, condoms, foot fungus cream, and wine (what? I think you'd need wine if you had your period, gas, and crud on your feet!) Those self check-outs are looking better and better, aren't they?
So, here's my advice for those of you contemplating making the jump to the self check-out.
1. If you've never used a self check-out machine, don't give it a try for the first time on a Saturday. Go at midnight when no one else is around
2. If you have 4001 items, skip the self check-out.
3. If you have 23 coupons, skip the self check-out.
4. If you intend to pay for your purchases with 32 pounds of coins, skip it.
5. If you lack
OK, you're ready to proceed. These machines aren't magical. You don't simply wave the package around in front of the machine and voila, the machine magically tells you how much it costs. The machines work by reading a bar code of information located on the package. That means you have to actually put the bar code toward the scanner. See how that works? If you move a can of soup across the scanner 15 times and it doesn't do anything, think about turning the can around so the scanner can read the bar code! Don't laugh. I've been behind this person many times.
After scanning your item, you need to put it in the bag or on the conveyor belt. The bagging area (or the conveyor belt) is a scale. If you ring up a tube of chapstick and put a 5 pound bag of flour in the bag, the machine will flash strobe lights, start smoking, and an alarm will sound, signaling an armed guard to escort you to grocery store prison. Don't be like the idiot who tried to scan a $3.00 bar code for a flat screen TV at Walmart. Not only will it not work, but you'll look like an idiot and may wind up being talked about on my blog.
You also don't want to lean against these scales because umm, they're scales! They'll register your weight leaning on them and yell at you to "remove item from bagging area!" and once again, the armed guard will have to take you away.
How do you ring up fresh produce? I may or may not have been afraid to use the self check-out for this very reason, once upon a time. Not long ago, an old woman in front of me tried to scan her bunch of bananas at least 40,000 times before I
You need to put the produce on the scanner screen (which is also a scale) and key in the code. Most produce will have little stickers with the code. You know those cute little Chiquita stickers on your bananas? They'll have something like #3082 printed on them. Just punch in that number. The machine will weigh the bananas and charge you accordingly. If you have, oh say, an eggplant and it doesn't have a sticker on it, just follow the directions on the screen. You can look it up easily. Most things are listed alphabetically and as long as you have a clue what you're buying, you should be able to look it up with no problems.
There's really no reason to be insecure or embarrassed about using these machines because as long as you can read and follow directions (Yes, I know that eliminates probably 75% of people. Not MY readers, of course; other people!), you'll have no problems. And if you do run into a problem, blame it on the machine! Anyone who has used these, knows they have occasional glitches. Sometimes the sale price doesn't ring up correctly, or the item isn't in the database. Then there are the times the machine yells at you to put the item in the bag even though it's already there and you find yourself arguing with a machine that you're certain is laughing at you. These things happen. All you have to do is wait 45 minutes for someone to come help you. I guess you really need to cut the helper cashier person some slack though because she has to deal with idiots who can't follow instructions all day long and she's probably more than a little afraid of having some disgruntled customer throw canned peas at her head. Now, if only the nice grocery store would mail you a paycheck for all your hard work...

If you plan to fly to your embarkation port, you must decide whether to arrange airline tickets on your own or use the AIR/SEA program offered by the cruise line. Here are the main considerations to help you with your decision.
Some airports now require that guests be at the gate and checked in by a certain time. Make sure to review the check-in requirements of the airport you choose.
Advantages of Arranging Your Own Airline Tickets
The main advantages of securing your own airline tickets are that you will be able to select the airline you fly and you will have some control over the timing and routing of your flights. You may wish to fly a particular airline to use frequent flier rewards, or to earn frequent flier miles, or because that carrier has nonstop service to your port city. If you arrange your own airline tickets you will have more control over these variables than if you utilize the cruise line's AIR/SEA program.
Advantages of Using the AIR/SEA Program
The main reasons to let us book your air at the same time you reserve your cruise - through the cruise line's AIR/SEA department - are convenience, better access to flights that make easy connections to your ship, and added protection in the event of a flight or sailing delay or cancellation.
Cruise lines meet their AIR/SEA passengers at the airport and transport them to the pier. These transfers are frequently free of charge, but even if a charge is levied it is typically less than what you would pay if you arranged your own transfers.
Cruise lines monitor the status of flights carrying their AIR/SEA passengers, and will sometimes hold a ship past its scheduled departure time to wait for guests arriving on a delayed flight, but only if that flight was booked through the cruise line.
Cruise lines reserve large blocks of seats on flights that make easy connections to their departing and returning cruise ships. These flights traditionally experience high load factors and you could have difficulty getting a low fare - or a seat at any price - as an individual. On busy days like Saturday and Sunday, you might have to fly in a day early if you book your own tickets, adding a day's meals and lodging to your cost.
And finally, sometimes unexpected things occur that affect travel plans. Flight delays or cancellations, changes in cruise ship arrival or departure times, and cancellation of sailings altogether, are some of the things that can force you to rebook at a later time or date or seek a refund for your airline tickets. If any of these things should happen before or during your vacation, you will not be eligible for assistance from the cruise line if you arranged your own airline tickets. However, if we secure your tickets through the cruise line's AIR/SEA program, some cruise lines will assist you in working with the airline to make alternate flight plans, help you catch up with your ship at the next port, or apply for a refund. Your cruise counselor will verify the details of each cruise line's AIR/SEA program at the time of booking.
The bottom line: Ask your Vacations To Go cruise counselor to quote air from the cruise line and compare that rate to the best rate you can find calling airlines directly. If the rates are close, you're probably better off letting us book your airline tickets through the AIR/SEA program.

Why Haskell just works
A lot of people experience a curious phenomenon when they start using Haskell: Once your code compiles it usually works. This does not seem to be the case for imperative languages, not even strongly typed ones like Java or C#. This page attempts to shed some light on reasons for why that this.
Types of errors
There are many types of errors, and many ways to categorize them. For our purposes we shall categorize them in the following way:
- Silly mistakes. These include things like typos, or just forgetting some minor thing here and there. Many of these would be caught by the type checker, or even the parser, though some might slip through.
- Unintentional mistakes. These are more serious mistakes than the silly mistakes, but they are still not due to a misunderstanding of the algorithm.
- Intentional mistakes. These are mistakes which are simply the result of not understanding the algorithm. The programmer really did intend for the program to do what it does, the fact that it is not correct is due to the programmer not understanding the algorithm.
The important distinction here is between the two latter types. Some will tend to think that these are actually the same category. In other words, if your code compiles but doesn't work, it's the programmer's fault. This is true to some extent, but it is also true that this very often happens even though the programmer has a firm understanding of the algorithm she is trying to implement, so the distinction is important.
We will return to this categorization of errors later on in the discussion.
The method of computation
There is an important difference in how computation is performed in imperative and functional languages. We shall first look at a strongly typed imperative language, and try to reason about how and where static checking might help to prevent errors, and where it won't.
The fundamental operation of computation in an imperative language is the modification of state. An imperative program consists of an ordered sequence of state modifying commands. This is of course only true to some extent, since you can often use a functional style even in an imperative programming language, but in general the computations are performed primarily by modifying state. The important realisation here is that the result of a computation is not actually specified directly in an imperative programming language, but is extracted indirectly as a side effect of executing the state modifying commands. From this we see the result of an imperative computation depends on two things; the stateful commands, and the order in which these are executed. Of these two things only the former can be statically checked. Imperative languages in use today do very little meaningful static checking on the order of statements (and for good reason, it is very hard!). This is the key to why plenty of programs which compile just fine in a strongly typed imperative language, simply don't work properly at all; the static checking performed by the compiler can only catch a very small fraction of the errors that are possible.
Functional programming is quite different. Here the fundamental operation of computation is function application. In a purely functional language like Haskell the question of "ordering" is simply not meaningful. The argument should now become apparent: Since the main operation of computation in functional languages (function application) is strongly typed, there's simply less room for errors to sneak in. So the difference, from a static checking standpoint, is that in an imperative language only part of the method of computation is actually checked, whereas for functional languages the entire method of computation can be type checked.
Let's do an example. We'll write this in a fictional strongly typed imperative language, first using an imperative style, and then using a functional style. We don't use actual languages to better highlight the differences between the two versions. As a simple example we shall implement a part of a merge sort algorithm. We assume here that a function, merge, is available which will merge two sorted lists into one sorted list (for two unsorted list it will simply produce the wrong result).
list.sort() { if ( self.size <= 1 ) { return; } (list1,list2) = self.split( self.size / 2 ); list1.sort(); list2.sort(); merged_list = merge( list1, list2 ); self.set( merged_list ); }
For the sake of argument, let's assume that the programmer accidentally reordered the lines here, maybe she merges the lists before they are sorted, for example. A type 2 error. It's clear that such a mistake would mean the sorting routine won't produce the correct result, however it is also clear that the compiler won't be able to catch a mistake like this. Now, this is a fairly simple example, and naturally most people wouldn't make mistakes in simple examples like this, but hopefully you should be able to see how similar mistakes which are far less obvious and far easier to make are very common in imperative programming.
The key idea, yet again, is that the result of the computation depends not only on the stateful operations themselves, but also the order in which they are executed. Only the former of these two aspects can actually be statically checked. It is clear that mistakes due to the order of operations can in general not be caught by the compiler, and this leads to many faulty programs that nonetheless compile happily.
Let's rewrite the same thing in a more functional style. I should stress that this is not Haskell code, but the same made up pseudo language used above.
list.sort() : list { if ( self.size <= 1 ) { return self; } (list1,list2) = self.split( self.size / 2 ); sorted_list1 = list1.sort(); sorted_list2 = list2.sort(); merged_list = merge( sorted_list1, sorted_list2 ); return merged_list; }
Notice that we only changed some minor things here. Most importantly the sort method no longer changes any state, it simply returns a new sorted list (rather than changing the current one in place).
By switching to a functional approach we now see that the algorithm is expressed directly in the code, rather than indirectly as a product of stateful operations and their uncheckable ordering. If you were to make the same mistake in this code, trying to perform the merge before the sorts, you would get a compile time error. This is because the lists used in the merge, depends on the lists retrieved from the split, which depends on the list we're trying to sort. So you see that the "ordering" is made explicit and direct, and will be statically checked at every stage.
You might claim the the equivalent error to the one used above would be to try to merge list1 and list2 rather than just moving the merge line up a bit, but that's not the case at all. We're talking about a type 2 error here. If the programmer understands the algorithm she will want to merge the sorted lists, not the unsorted lists. In the imperative version the names list1 and list2 both referred to the unsorted and sorted lists depending on where you referenced them, which is the whole root of the problem, whereas in the functional way of thinking only the names sorted_list1 and sorted_list2 refer to the sorted lists.
Type of errors caught at compile time
We saw in the previous section that simply by switching to a different way of thinking we were able to catch a type 2 error at compile time, while this was impossible when using the imperative method. Let's discuss the three types of errors again, in some detail.
- Silly mistakes. These errors are probably caught quite reliably by both imperative and functional programming languages, assuming they have a sane language design and strong typing. For this category of errors the property of being functional or imperative is probably less important than other properties.
- Unintentional mistakes. As we saw earlier, this type of mistake can quite often slide through the compiler's checks in an imperative language since for imperative code the important property of ordering is not checked. We also saw how this problem is helped by using a functional style together with static type checking. The fact that functional programming catches these errors while imperative programming does not, is probably largely the reason for why Haskell programs tend to "just work".
- Intentional mistakes. These are more serious errors, and are hardly ever caught in imperative languages. However, even these mistakes are often caught by functional programming languages for the same reason that errors of type 2 are. If you've misunderstood the algorithm, it is very likely that this will result in some type error when expressing it in a functional style, whereas if it is expressed in an imperative style the misunderstanding might take the form of an improper ordering of commands which cannot (in general) be caught. Haskell programmers will often testify that while working on a particularly complicated problem the type system helped them spot where their logic was flawed, and once the type errors were fixed so was their understanding.

The distinctive character and scope of Matthew's GospelLet us now consider the Gospel by Matthew. This Gospel sets Christ before us in the character of the Son of David and of Abraham, that is to say, in connection with the promises made to Israel, but presents Him withal as Emmanuel, Jehovah the Saviour, for such the Christ was. It is He who, being received, should have accomplished the promises (and hereafter He will do so) in favour of this beloved people. This Gospel is in fact the history of His rejection by the people, and consequently that of the condemnation of the people themselves, so far as their responsibility was concerned (for the counsels of God cannot fail), and the substitution of that which God was going to bring in according to His purpose. In proportion as the character of the King and of the kingdom develops itself, and arouses the attention of the leaders of the people, they oppose it, and deprive themselves, as well as the people who follow them, of all the blessings connected with the presence of the Messiah. The Lord declares to them the consequences of this, and shows His disciples the position of the kingdom which should be set up on the earth after His rejection, and also the glories which should result from it to Himself and to His people with Him. And in His Person, and as regards His work, the foundation of the assembly also is revealed — the church as built by Himself. In a word, consequent on His rejection by Israel, first the kingdom as it exists now is revealed (Matt. 13), then the church (Matt. 16), and then the kingdom in the glory (Matt. 17). At length, after His resurrection, a new commission,
addressed to all nations, is given to the apostles sent out by
Jesus as risen.* |

NEW YORK -- The iPhone 5, out later this month, is thinner, lighter and has a bigger screen than its predecessors. For hordes of Apple fans who have some money to spare, the question is: What should you do with your old iPhone after you buy a new one?
The new phones will join some 244 million iPhones sold since the first one launched in 2007. Some have been lost or stolen. Some of us are still hanging on to our old gadgets in some futile attempt to resist the constant upgrade cycle that technology companies are forcing on us.
But it's fair to say that millions of iPhones are languishing in desk drawers or gathering dust. Here are a few things to do with yours to keep it from meeting that fate once you buy the iPhone 5.
1. Give it to your kids so they stop taking yours...
Every parent, aunt and uncle knows that no toy in the history of toys has ever been as appealing to a kid as an iPhone. They are shiny, they have games and grown-ups use them for important things. More importantly, they are either off-limits or doled out in limited quantities as a reward for, say, sitting still for a minute. Load up your old iPhone with games and give it to a deserving child in your life.
2. ...or to your mom so she can finally see the light
Alternately, if a Luddite adult has been thinking of taking the plunge into the world of smartphones, your old iPhone may help him or her get over the hump. If you have an iPhone 4 or 4S, you might also find someone who's still hanging on to an earlier model and give them the gift of an upgrade. You may just buy a friend for life (or at least until iPhone 6 comes out).
3. Use it as a teeny-tiny iPad
You'll be able to watch videos, send email and search Wikipedia for random facts to end cocktail-party disagreements with your decommissioned iPhone -- as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection. There's even a camera, which means you can avoid being that guy (or gal) at the concert who's turning heads for taking photos with an iPad.
4. Donate to charity
Several charities accept old phones for donation, though it's worth remembering that these groups likely won't physically give your old phones to people in need. Rather, they work with phone recyclers and sell your donated phones to them.
A nonprofit group called Cell Phones for Soldiers will take your "gently used" phone and sell it to recycling company ReCellular. It will then use the proceeds to buy calling cards for soldiers.
The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence works with another recycling group in a similar manner. About 60 percent of the phones it collects are refurbished and resold. The money goes toward supporting the coalition. The remaining 40 percent of the phones are recycled, according to the group's website. It pays for shipping if you are mailing three or more phones.
There are a few more suggestions from New York's Department of Environmental Conservation at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/8818.html .
5. Alarm Clock
Do you still use that old radio alarm you bought for your college dorm room in the 20th century? Join the 21st century by turning your old iPhone into an alarm clock. Hide it in a different spot in your bed each night for an added challenge.
6. Sell, sell, sell!
Join the eBay hordes and sell your phone for a few hundred bucks if you can. There will likely be a flood of the gadgets soon after people start getting their new phones, so it might make sense to wait a little.
A company called Gazelle, meanwhile, will make an offer for your old phone based on its condition, your phone carrier and other information. A 32 gigabyte iPhone 4S on Verizon Wireless, for example, was recently going for $237 if it's in good condition and $90 if it's broken.
Glyde.com also offers to help you resell your old phone. A recent check showed the above 4S getting roughly $325 to $350 after fees are deducted -- provided there is a buyer. A "speed sale" that guarantees to sell it in seven days will get the seller slightly less money. 7. Trade in at GameStop
The video game retailer offers cash or store credit for old iPhones (along with iPods and iPads). The service is only available in stores and not online. A 32 gigabyte iPhone 4S on Verizon will get you up to $335 in store credit or up to $268 in cash.
8. Stream music
Stick that baby in a speaker dock, spring for a Pandora subscription ($36 per year) or Spotify ($10 per month) and bam, you have a stereo.
Or try SoundCloud. Although it's meant to let you create and share music with people, it's also a good place to listen to DJs you like or discover new ones. TuneIn, meanwhile, will let you listen to online radio stations playing music, sports, news or talk shows.
9. Keep as a backup in case you lose your fancy new one.
Nearly one-third of cellphone owners have had their gadgets lost or stolen, according to a recent survey from Pew Internet & Pew Internet & American Life Project.
10. Use as a camera
At its core, a decommissioned iPhone is a hard drive with a camera. Snap photos with it. No Canon needed. You can also use the iPhone to move photos and other files from one computer to another.
11. Recycle with Apple
Apple Inc.'s own recycling program will give you an Apple gift card if it is determined to have a "monetary value." A 32 gigabyte iPhone 4S with some light scratches but in good working condition was recently estimated at $280. That's higher than Gazelle, but you'll have to spend the money at Apple. The company also accepts broken phones for recycling but you won't get any money for them.

Cell phone forensics
- If on, switch it off. If off, leave off.
#* Note only under exceptional circumstances should the handset be left switched on and in any case every precaution to prevent the handset connecting with the Communication Service Provider should be made. Consider use of one of many wireless preservation or RF isolation techniques. Note that the slightest signal leakage will allow an overwriting text message through even if a phone call can't get through.
#* Instead of switching off, it may be better to remove the battery. Phones run a different part of their program when they are turned off. You may wish to avoid having this part of the program run.
#* Note that removing the battery or powering off a mobile phone may introduce a handset unlock code upon powering the device on.
- Collect and preserve other surrounding and related devices. Be especially careful to collect the power charger. The phone's battery will only last a certain amount of time. When it dies, much of the data on the device may go too!
- Plug the phone in, preferably in the evidence room, as soon as possible.
- Retain search warrant (if necessary - Law Enforcement).
- Return device to forensic lab if able.
- Use forensically sound tools for processing. However, also remember ACPO Principle 2 says: In exceptional circumstances, where a person finds it necessary to access original data held on a computer or on storage media, that person must be competent to do so and be able to give evidence explaining the relevance and the implications of their actions.
Expand on as to what to collect:
- Carrier
- Manufacturer
- Model Number
- Color
- Other information related to Cell Phone and SIM Card
- Photograph the Cell Phone screen during power up.
- Research the Cell Phone for technical specifications.
- Research the Cell Phone for forensic information.

MINNEAPOLIS – Illinois nearly ruined a strong nonconference start by losing seven of its first nine Big Ten games to tumble out of the Top 25.
In this loaded league, though, the Fighting Illini still have time to catch up. They might've salvaged their season with this terrific week.
Tyler Griffey scored 16 points, and Illinois went 11 for 23 from 3-point range to beat No. 18 Minnesota 57-53 on Sunday night.
"We feel like we can compete with anybody and we can win any game we play," said Brandon Paul, who had 10 points. "The Big Ten is so crazy. It's tough anywhere you go, especially on the road. So you find a way to tough it out."
Three days after Griffey's buzzer-beating layup gave Illinois (17-8, 4-7) a 74-72 victory over No. 1 Indiana, Tracy Abrams swished a step-back 3-pointer with 18 seconds left to stretch the lead over Minnesota to four. Abrams came off the bench for the first time this season after failing to score against the Hoosiers.
D.J. Richardson added 13 points for the Illini, who ended a 10-game losing streak on the road against ranked Big Ten teams. Their last such win was three years ago at Wisconsin.
"One thing that is happening now is that people trust each other," coach John Groce said. "They trust the system more. They're sticking with the game plan even when they're behind."
Austin Hollins had 16 points and four steals for the Golden Gophers (17-7, 5-6), who lost for the sixth time in eight games and could find themselves out of the Top 25 when the new rankings are released on Monday.
"Just another blown opportunity for us," said coach Tubby Smith, who again sat at a podium lamenting the turnovers. They had 13, none more costly than with 50 seconds left with Illinois leading 54-53.
Sixth-year senior Trevor Mbakwe, who had 13 points and 10 rebounds, tried to pivot out of a double team down low and threw a two-handed pass across the court that sailed out of bounds. Abrams scored on the next trip up the court, and Hollins air-balled a 3-pointer after that.
The Gophers played without senior forward Rodney Williams, whose shoulder injury kept him out of a game for the first time in nearly three years. That forced Smith into some awkward lineup combinations, and the reserves again struggled to establish a rhythm or avoid stagnant, sloppy possessions.
Elliott Eliason, who filled many of Williams' minutes, had 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks and swished a mid-range jumper with 2:22 left to pull the Gophers within one point. But the Gophers didn't get enough help. Andre Hollins and Joe Coleman combined to shoot 3 for 18 from the floor.
The Gophers, who won at Assembly Hall 84-67 last month while holding the Illini to 3-for-24 shooting from 3-point range, were trying to beat Illinois twice in the regular season for the first time since 1996. They led by as much as 13-2 and 26-14 in the first half. The Illini didn't make a shot from the field until 9½ minutes were gone in the game, when Nnanna Egwu's baseline jumper bounced off the rim and dropped in.
But the Gophers found themselves trailing 31-30 at the break after a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Richardson, his third in the final four minutes of the half. That fueled a 20-4 run by the Illini that didn't end until a dunk by Mbakwe well into the second stanza, ending a skid of more than 7½ minutes without a basket. The Gophers knew the sharp-shooting Illini would find their stroke, that their tough defense early wouldn't be enough.
"That's how they beat Indiana. They're a tough team. They needed that win just like we did," Mbakwe said.
As the only team in the nation with three wins over opponents ranked in the top 10 of the most recent Associated Press poll, the Illini hadn't yet proven they can play consistent enough defense to pull out gritty victories when the performance isn't so pretty. This was their lowest point total in any of their wins this season.
"I'm just proud of the guys. We kind of carried that momentum into tonight," Griffey said, adding: "When we needed stops, we got stops. When we needed a bucket, we got a bucket."
Richardson made consecutive 3-pointers from the same place on the left wing on fast breaks that developed from rebounds of tough shots by the Gophers at the end of disheveled possessions, and then Sam McLaurin held his spot in the lane as 6-foot-10, 290-pound Maurice Walker powered past him for a basket. The charge was called, and Groce was so happy he gave McLaurin a bear hug at the timeout. Paul found space in the lane for a layup right after that, and suddenly the Illini were at 26-24.
"We want to finish the season strong, and that's something that's definitely in the back of our minds every game," Paul said.

Designs for Small Spaces
Jennifer Hudson
Laurence King
Small space living is no longer a lifestyle choice, but a necessity in most cosmopolitan cities around the world. The modernist concentration on the design of an abstract yet integrated space has been replaced by the post-modern reaction, which pays closer attention to small scale design and its meaning. This shift reflects a broad range of transformations in our consumption and lifestyle requirements.
Designs for Small Spaces reflects this change in demand and provides both a fun and inspirational guide to contemporary urban living. The unassuming elegance and creativity found in these cleverly-designed products attests to their originality; over 500 stunning works have been produced, many notable for their innovations in lighting, storage, space allotment and material selection.
What's truly impressive, is the way that objects such as Paul Hernon's Vertical Bathroom Vertebrae go beyond the visual experience of the product and suggest a three-dimensional experience. The designs in this collection allow us to enter the space they create, rather than just seeing it. You'll never set foot in Ikea again.

Mexican America: Glossary
Anglo: In Texas, New Mexico, and other areas of the United States with a large Hispanic or Mexican American populations, Anglo (from Anglo-Saxon) refers to white English speakers, their cultures, and their historical perspectives. This term, which is rooted in real social and territorial conflict, reflects a long-standing perception of cultural difference between the descendants of English- and the Spanish-speaking colonists.
Asian Exclusion: East Asian workers played a key role in transforming the economy of the American West in the decades following the Mexican-American War in 1848. The Chinese began arriving inCalifornia with the gold rush of 1848. Over the next fifty years, they became important in railroad, mining, agricultural, and fishing industries. The Chinese met hostility on U.S. soil, and their rising presence triggered a xenophobic and racist backlash across the United States . Laws were passed to exclude Chinese, Japanese, and other Asians from American citizenship and even residence. Laborers fromMexico were recruited to work in California to fill the vacuum created by excluded Asian labor.
Aztec Empire: The Aztec Empire was the last civilization to rule the ancient and densely populated Valley of Mexico before Spanish colonization. It began as a federation of three lake-side cities, Tenochtitlán, Texcoco, and Tlacopán, also referred to as the Triple Alliance. Warriors from these cities conquered or intimidated neighboring nations into an enormous tribute-based network for exchanging raw and finished goods. The Aztec referred to themselves as Mexica. The language spoken throughout the Aztec Empire was Náhautl.
Aztlán: According to their own stories, the Aztecs, also know asMexica, migrated to central Mexico from a distant homeland. Called Aztlán, it has an important place in Chicano mythology. As a symbolic reclamation of their place in American history, Chicanos located Aztlán in the Southwest United States, in the area conquered during the Mexican-American War.
Benito Juárez: Benito Juárez (1806-1872) was Mexico 's president from 1858 to 1872, during a period of political and social reform known as La Reforma. Famous for resisting the French occupation during the 1860s, and for limiting the influence and privileges of the military and the Catholic Church, he is cherished as one of the nation's best-loved leaders. Juárez, who spoke only Zapotec (an indigenous language from southern Mexico ) throughout his childhood, remains Mexico 's only indigenous president to date.
Charreada: The Mexican spectacle of equestrian and ranching sports is celebrated in both Mexico and the United States to maintain the traditions associated with the charrería.
Charrería: Mexican rodeo and equestrian traditions, including the performance and paraphernalia of musicians, riders, and cowboys, are known collectively as charrería.
Charro: In Mexico , cowboy and rodeo traditions have evolved into a national sport accompanied by elaborate fanfare. The charro, with his broad sombrero and matching outfit, is the gentrified version of the humble vaquero, or cowboy. Charro attire, known for its elaborate decorative metalwork, is closely associated with equestrian sports and crafts like saddle making.
Chicana, Chicano: In the late 1960s, men and women of Mexican descent in the western and southwestern United States were developing new political strategies and elaborating new identities. Chicano, for men, and chicana, for women, are old labels that were reclaimed to signal engagement in the struggle for social justice and equity in housing, education, labor rights, and other areas. Still current, chicano indicates a cultural outlook rooted in the indigenous past, one that does not favor Hispanic origins or whiteness, but absorbs and reinterprets American popular culture.
China Poblana: The china poblana is the legendary figure in Mexican popular history who incorporated Chinese silks into the traditional women's dress to invent the china poblana dress. According to some accounts, the original china poblana was a woman enslaved in Asia and finally sold in the colonial city of Puebla. While shrouded in historical and ethnic ambiguity, she is a figure who reveals Mexico as a center of global exchange between Asia and Europe.
Conjunto: In the early 1900s, farming communities in South Texas were dancing to a style of music they called conjunto. After World War II, many South Texans left the region for better job opportunities, particularly in the western United States and the Midwest, and brought conjunto along with them. Though South Texas is still the center of conjunto performance, over the decades the music has evolved into several regional varieties. Called música norteña on the Mexican side of the border, conjunto musicians play the accordion, the bajo sexto (a 12-string guitar), bass, and drums to perform songs styles such ascorridos, polkas, rancheras, cumbias, and the vals.
Corrido: The corrido is a type of Mexican ballad that tells dramatic stories about love and betrayal, confrontations with the law, and other popular themes from the imagination and real life of communities living along the U.S.-Mexican border.
Cumbia: Originally from northern Colombia 's Caribbean coast, thecumbia is a set of rhythms that illustrate the centuries-long encounter between Native Americans, Africans, and their mixed descendants. Once stigmatized as "race music" in Colombia , the cumbia has become ubiquitous on dance floors and radio stations across Latin America. This more commercial cumbia, with its simpler percussive arrangement, exploded in popularity over the second half of the 20th century, with fans in Mexico , El Salvador , Argentina , and elsewhere.
Genre Scenes: Genre scenes are realistic works of art that portray everyday life—a detailed landscape, a home interior, or a public setting filled with workers, families, or other members of a community engaged in the tasks or particularities of their daily existence. Mexican genre scenes from the 1700s and 1800s offer glimpses of household objects, popular fashion, and the general social order in an era before photography.
Great Depression: From about 1930 to 1940, the United States and the entire world suffered through a wide-scale economic depression. In the United States , it coincided with a period of drought in the Midwest that created an ecological and farming crisis known as the Dust Bowl. Lasting until World War II, the Great Depression affected all Americans, with many losing their homes, businesses, and livelihoods. As many as half a million Mexicans and Mexican Americans left the United States forMexico during this decade. Unknown thousands of them were U.S.citizens forcibly deported to Mexico to minimize the competition with white American workers for jobs.
Guerrilla: Guerrilla is the Spanish word for an irregular force of local fighters who are organized to sporadically combat, or at least ambush, the better-equipped armies of foreign invaders.
Guerillero: In Spanish, someone who fights in a guerrilla is called aguerrillero.
Hispanic: Over 2,200 years ago, when the Romans conquered the Iberian Peninsula, they renamed the place Hispania, which is better known now as España, or Spain . By 1500, Spanish Catholics, who had been in the process of reconquering the land from Spanish and North African Muslims, took their fight across the ocean to the Americas . What were Spanish colonies several centuries ago are today Mexico and the Spanish-speaking republics of the Caribbean and Central and South America. As an indicator of a common history and language, many people with roots in the Spanish-speaking Americas are referred to asHispanic.
Hispano: For about 250 years, before New Mexico became part of theUnited States , it was an isolated, but relatively populated frontier region in northern Mexico . The first nonindigenous settlers in the area were Spanish, or at least identified themselves with the norms of Spanish culture (regardless of ethnicity). Like their descendants today, they called themselves hispanos as a way of distinguishing between themselves, local Pueblo communities, other Native Americans, and later arrivals from the eastern United States and Mexico .
Indian: The diverse native peoples who live in the Americas have their own names. In the histories written by European colonizers, they are often called Indians. This old term, which is based on a geographical mistake, is rich in history, but also controversy.
Latino: People with roots in the Spanish- and Portuguese-speakingAmericas today increasingly identify themselves as Latino. It is a term most commonly used within the United States to unite this ethnically and culturally diverse population. In order to disown the legacy of colonialism, this broader term is sometimes used as a replacement forHispanic.
Maguey: Also known as the century plant, the maguey (Agaveamericana) was cultivated in Mexico about 8,000 years ago. Since then it has had a prominent place in the everyday life and economy ofMexico . The maguey plant is still cultivated for its fibers, which are used to make rope and rough textiles.
Malinche: La Malinche is a historical figure whose real biography is shrouded in the myths surrounding the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. Also known by the Spanish name Doña Marina, and the Náhuatl name Malintzin, she was the indigenous translator for Spanish explorer Hernán Cortés and his army as they moved from the Mexican coast inland towards the grand Aztec capital, Tenochtitlán, and beyond to Honduras. A controversial figure representing both motherhood and betrayal for the Mexican nation, La Malinche gave birth to Hernán Cortés's first and favorite son.
Manifest Destiny: Throughout the 1800s, Americans, including recent immigrants from Europe, poured over the Appalachian Mountains and moved West toward the Great Plains. By 1848, following the U.S. victory in the Mexican-American War and the California gold rush, many Americans felt it was their God-given right to expand across the continent and rule it from shore to shore. This belief, rooted in ideas about nation, race, and progress, is called Manifest Destiny.
Mariachi: Mariachis, groups comprised of vocalists, trumpeters, violinists, and various bass and guitar players, are today consideredMexico 's traditional musical ensemble. Originating in the state of Jalisco, mariachi music transformed itself from a regional to a national music between the 1930s and 1950s.
Matachines: Representing different regional styles, the matachines are masked performers who dance in areas of Northern Mexico and the Southwest, often in honor of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Originally commemorating the expulsion of the Moors from southern Spain in 1492, this dance was introduced to Mexico to facilitate the Christianization of Native Peoples. The dances of the matachines developed into a symbolic retelling of the military conquests and spiritual imposition of the Spanish colonizers.
Maya: The term Maya is used to group together the related contemporary and historical communities and language groups of southern Mexico (including the Yucatan), Guatemala , Belize , Honduras, and El Salvador . The Mayans developed an enduring writing system that was in use even during the initial period of Spanish colonization. Because the region where Mayans lived was politically fragmented, poor in precious metals, and highly resistant to Spanish cultural intrusion, some Mayan communities maintained their independence until the end of the 1600s.
Mesoamerica: Mesoamerica is a term used to describe the land and culture between central Mexico and Nicaragua . This fertile, diverse, and densely populated region has been economically and politically connected for millennia. It is also one of the centers of scientific and cultural innovation in pre-European America .
Mestizo: A Spanish term meaning "mixed," mestizo is the racial formula often used to ethnically categorize Latin America, and particularly Mexico . Although it usually refers to a person of mixed European and indigenous ancestry, the term historically has also included people of mixed African ancestry as well. Like all racial labels, it is subject to significant local and personal interpretation.
Mestizaje: From the Mexican perspective, the notion of mestizaje, or racial mixture—in this case predominantly between native peoples and Europeans and their descendents—is at the core of what many Mexicans and Mexican Americans consider their national identity. Implicit in this idea, however, has been a notion of progress that includes mestizos and whites, while equating native people with the premodern past and diminishing the historical African presence in Mexico .
Metate: The metate is an ancient piece of technology used by indigenous women in Mesoamerica. It is a flat, slightly convex grinding surface made from stone, usually with three or four legs. After soaking dried corn grains in limewater to remove the outer hull (thereby maximizing its nutritional value), the women grind the processed corn on the table-like metate with another stone resembling a rolling pin. The dough created on metates makes the tortillas that have been the staple food of Mesoamerica for millennia.
Mexica: The people whom today we call Aztec, called themselvesMexica. The term Aztec was adopted in the 19th century as a way to distinguish contemporary Mexicans from the historic empire encountered by the Spanish in 1519.
Mexican American: This term describes a wide category of people who live in the United States and who have a familial link to Mexico or Mexican culture. It can include people who have roots in the territory conquered by the United States in the Mexican-American War, and who might not speak Spanish, as well as recent immigrants, some of whom might speak an indigenous language.
Mexican-American War: The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) was a territorial conflict between the United States and Mexico . It has its roots in the secession of Texas from Mexico in 1836, and its annexation by the United States in 1845. This war was devastating forMexico , which was invaded by U.S. armies and lost the upper half of its territory (from California to Texas) to the United States under terms set by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Worse off were the Mexican citizens who suddenly found themselves living in the United States . Many found themselves dispossessed of their land by new English-speaking settlers, particularly from the American South, and were relegated to second-class citizenship for generations.
Mexican Revolution: The Mexican Revolution was a civil war fought on several fronts across Mexico from 1910 till about 1920. Several famous figures such as Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa took part. This war, involving movements as diverse as indigenous farmers seeking land redistribution, organized industrial workers, and local elites seeking greater political representation, all united against the 30-year rule of Porfirio Díaz. While Mexico 's new liberal constitution was written in 1917, the country's full transition to a peaceful democracy was not complete until the end of the 1920s.
Moctezuma: Moctezuma was the Aztec emperor who encountered Hernán Cortés and his able translator, La Malinche, also known as Doña Marina, during the Spanish invasion of Mexico in 1519. Held hostage by the Spanish in his splendid palace in Tenochtitlán (latter-day Mexico City), Moctezuma died from wounds reputedly inflicted by Aztecs angry at his perceived incapacity to expel the foreign invaders.
Moors: The Moors were North African Muslims who ruled the southern half of Spain during Europe's Middle Ages. After centuries of warfare between several small Christian and Muslims kingdoms, Catholic Spain succeeded in uniting itself by 1492 and expelled the Muslim (Moorish) and Jewish communities. This major historical event, known as thereconquista, or reconquest, was retold in epic tales and plays. Across Hispanic America, the story of this conflict between Moors and Christians was retold and reinvented to reflect local experiences of Spanish conquest and colonization.
Muralism: On the heels on the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), the Mexican government engaged in a serious mission to fund the arts, and art education. Murals, large paintings on walls in public spaces, became a means of creating a democratic art form that could uplift and dignify working men and women. Several prominent Mexican artists united around this idea, known as muralism, throughout the 1920s and 1930s. The most famous are José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
Música Norteña: see Conjunto
Náhautl: The language spoken throughout many indigenous communities in central Mexico is Náhuatl. This was the language spoken throughout the Aztec Empire and taught in Aztec schools. Moving into the countryside following the conquest, Spanish priests learned indigenous languages and created new schools. These priests revolutionized Náhuatl and Mayan languages with the introduction of Latin letters. Indigenous communities were considered outside the Spanish social order, but still very much related to it. Náhuatl and Maya languages had a strong literary and administrative presence during the colonial period.
Native American: Native American is a term used most commonly in the United States to describe the indigenous peoples living between the Bering Strait in Alaska and Tierra del Fuego in Chile . Native American is often used as a replacement for the older term, Indian.
Paño: Paños are graphic art works designed on handkerchiefs by Chicano prisoners in California, Texas, and the Southwest. Like a letter that retells memories of both good and bad times, paños are often mailed as gifts to friends and loved ones.
Peso: The unit of currency in Mexico and other Latin America countries.
Pulque: Made from fermented maguey juice, pulque was once a popular beverage throughout Mexico . After the development of railways throughout central Mexico in the late 1800s, vast maguey plantations cropped up around Mexico City, supplying it daily with fresh pulque, which can spoil in as little as a day. Since the 1920s, pulque has been largely replaced by bottled beer, which was marketed as more "modern and hygienic."
Pulquería: Once a common sight in Mexico , but now found mostly in the countryside, a pulquería is a tavern where men consume pulque.
Olmec: From about 1200-400 B.C., a complex and regionally influential culture developed along the Gulf Coast of Mexico, in the area ofVeracruz and Tabasco. Called Olmec by 19th-century researchers, we do not know what this stone-carving, monument-building, and jade-loving people called themselves. What is certain is that many attributes of their civilization, such as astronomy and mathematics traditions, ritual ball games, and writing, were carried on and developed by other Mesoamerican civilizations until the Spanish conquest.
Pre-Hispanic: Pre-Hispanic is a term used to describe the period of Latin American history before the arrival of Spanish colonists—the first group of Europeans and Africans in North America.
Pueblo: The Spanish word for town, it is also used to describe the adobe village-dwelling indigenous peoples who still farm along the tributaries of the Rio Grande and Colorado Rivers of New Mexico andArizona. Many of these pueblos, such as the Zuni or the Hopi, have maintained separate political and cultural identities from Spanish, Mexican, and later Anglo settlers who have since populated the Southwest.
Ranchera: A classical song genre in 20th-century Mexican popular music, the ranchera is often a love song, especially for the nation and countryside. Rancheras were often featured in movies, and became favorite songs among Mexican and Latin American audiences watching Mexican films from the 1940s to the 1960s.
Ranching: The horse, cattle, and sheep cultures of the American West were introduced to central Mexico from Spain in the 1500s. Outside of mining, this herding economy, which concentrated large holdings of land among relatively few families, came to dominate the social structure of northern Mexico, including areas as far north as Texas and California. Ranching culture had at least two profound consequences—the destruction of the region's grasslands, and the arrival of the horse in the cultures of the many tribes of the North American Great Plains.
Retablo: Spanish colonial art is known for particular kinds of religious imagery. Retablos are painted pieces of wood (often depicting saints) that decorate church or home altars.
Rio Grande: Called the Rio Bravo in Mexico , the Rio Grande River rushes south out of northern New Mexico, and cuts the long border between Texas and Mexico . Racist terms like "wetback," or the Spanish notion of "mojado," meaning "wet," have their origin in the experience of migrants crossing of this dangerous river border.
Santero: When talking about Catholic devotional art, a santero is both an artisan and believer who crafts objects like religious figurines (santos), biblical paintings, and other decorative art for home altars or churches.
Santos: The lives of saints play an important role in the education and beliefs of Catholics. Santos are the carved and painted wooden images of saints produced by santeros in places like New Mexico and Puerto Rico.
Tajadero: Spanish for a chopping knife, tajadero is the term used to refer to the axe-shaped money used in Mesoamerica in the pre-Hispanic period and up to the early colonial period around 1600. One tajaderowas equivalent to about 8,000 cacao beans—the other prevalent unit of currency in the region.
Tejano: Tejano, the original Spanish term for a Texan, can be used to describe the Hispanic and/or Mexican residents of Texas both before Texan Independence (1836) and up to the present.
Tlaxcala: An island in the middle of the Aztec Empire, Tlaxcala was a Náhuatl-speaking confederacy that resisted Aztec conquest for over a century. Allying themselves with Hernán Cortés's small army of Spaniards and rallying other Aztec enemies, the Tlaxcaltecs played a key role in dismantling the Aztec Empire.
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo: see Mexican-American War
Vals: Spanish for waltz, this musical form was popular in the 19thcentury throughout Latin America, where it developed many regional interpretations from Texas to Peru .
Vaquero: Spanish term for cowboy.
Yaqui: Living in the arid region of Sonora and Arizona, the Yaqui are an indigenous people known for their resistance to both Spanish and Mexican authorities. Never conquered by Spanish forces, the Yaqui made several attempts at independence from the new Mexican state after the 1820s. Enduring the brutality of the Mexican government throughout the 19th- and into the 20th centuries, at least 8,000 Yaquis were deported to henequen plantations in the Yucatán as enslaved workers. Thousands more were displaced, many seeking refuge inArizona, particularly in the wake of the Mexican Revolution.
Zuni: The Zuni, also known as the Zuñi or Ashiwi, are an indigenous community that has farmed and built villages along New Mexico's ZuniRiver Valley for at least 1,000 years. The Zuni entered the Spanish imagination when one of their pueblos, Hawikuh, was reported to be the mythical, gold-rich city of Cíbola. Such speculation motivated further intrusion into the region by Spanish explorers (most notably Francisco Vásquez de Coronado), missionaries, and settlers.

Hi Tali,
Vitamix blender is for liquidy things (smoothie, sauce, soup, etc.) and food processor is for dryier stuff (brownies, cookie batter, pie crust, etc.)
No, the results will NOT be the same with a Vitamix. You definitely need a food processor, but it doesn't have to be a good one! I have had this one for 4 years and it gets the job done: http://tinyurl.com/avdwva4
To make raw recipes it is best to own an expensive, fabulous blender (like the Vitamix: http://tinyurl.com/b8a967w) and a cheapy food processor (like this one : http://tinyurl.com/avdwva4). They serve different purposes.
Hope this helps!

Spring City Councilman Neil Sorensen first proposed an ordinance requiring a gun in every household in the town of 1,000. The rest of the council scoffed at making it a requirement, but they unanimously agreed to move forward with an ordinance "recommending" the idea. The council also approved funding to offer concealed firearms training Friday to the 20 teachers and administrators at the local elementary school. "It sends a statement that criminals better think twice," Sorensen told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "If a teacher would have had a concealed weapon in Sandy Hook, I think the death loss would have been fewer. If sane, trained people had guns, they could have shot back." The measure, which will go before the full council in February for further review, seems to have the support of the council's five members and many residents in the farming community about 90 miles south of Salt Lake City. But school administrators don't think arming teachers is wise, and they are not encouraging teachers to participate in Friday's training. "The more guns you have in the school, the more dangerous it is," said Leslie Keisel, superintendent of the North Sanpete School District. Councilman Noel Bertelson said making guns in every house mandatory was too much, but he agrees the town would be safer if everyone was armed. With only a part-time police force, he said, response time is not like it is in a big city. "If a person is able to take care of themselves for a while, it would probably be a good thing," Bertelson said. The community is still reeling from the double-murder on New Year's Eve 2011 of an elderly couple in nearby Mount Pleasant. Sorensen said what used to be a peaceful, quiet town has been sullied by increasing criminal activity. Thefts of metal for scrap and other property also have become a problem, Councilman Boyd Mickel said. "We are kind of tired of people breaking in and taking stuff," said Mickel, explaining why he voted to urge every house to have a gun. Timm Thompson, a coal miner and father of four girls who lives in Spring City, backs the council's measure. "People think small towns are a good place to live," Thompson said. "But there is more crime and drugs than you can imagine." Thompson, who owns 78 guns he keeps locked in a safe, doesn't want teachers to act as police officers. He said some kids are "hooligans" and could overpower teachers for the guns. Sisters Katy Harmer and Caroline Lott, however, say arming teachers would make them feel better about sending their children to the Spring City Elementary School. The co-owners of the town's coffee shop, Das Coffee, said most Spring City residents keep guns for hunting, leaving only a handful without weapons. Angela Johnson, owner of the Sinclair gas station, said she doesn't like guns but backs the council's proposal. "If criminals knew they would be fired against, I think it would cause pause," Johnson said. Because the Spring City Council is stopping short of a law requiring gun ownership, elected officials won't run afoul of state law, former Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff told KSL.com. Shurtleff said that when the Washington County town of Virgin enacted a local law in 2000 requiring households to keep guns, he warned them against trying to enforce the measure. Spring City leaders say they got the idea from a city in Georgia that passed a similar law. In 1982, Kennesaw, Ga., made headlines by requiring heads of households to own a gun and ammunition. On its website, Kennesaw boasts that its burglary rate declined after the law took effect. Teachers at Spring City Elementary School won't be required to attend Friday's concealed weapons training, but can if they wish, Principal Mark Thomas said. "I don't think there is anything wrong about being educated how to use a gun," Thomas said. But Thomas doesn't believe having more armed teachers would necessarily prevent or mitigate the damage in mass shootings. Utah law allows teachers to have concealed weapon in classrooms, but the district doesn't advocate for that, Thomas said. "By bringing weapons into school, are we creating more problems than we are solving?" he asked. "It could create a new problem. We don't want to deal with that problem." The proposed ordinance will be discussed at the Feb. 7 City Council meeting. A public hearing will be held three weeks later.

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne.
It's the start of state fair season, which means lots of weird and fried food. The Indiana State Fair decided on spaghetti and meatballs ice cream as the fair's official food. The noodles are made of gelato, the sauce is strawberry tomato, and the meatballs are chocolate. It's topped with shredded white chocolate cheese. Yummy. At the Iowa State Fair you can try a double bacon corndog. Last year, Iowa featured deep fried butter. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

HENRY COW: Unrest
Dating from 1974, and following on from the re-release of Legend, this is the second in our series of definitive reissues of the original Virgin Albums. Geoff Leigh had left the group and Lindsay Cooper joined on Bassoon, Oboe, Flute, Soprano Sax. The mix was more 'live' than Legend, with the drums much more up front. The first half is composed material, with some of the Cow's best loved tunes, like Half Asleep Half Awake and Bittern Storm Over Ulm. For the second half the material was all written in the studio, using loops, varispeed tapes and electronics, and superimposing live improvisation and composed passages. Classic, historic and still relevant, this re-issue has been carefully re-mastered with new booklet, photos and documentation.L
