Nine most indispensable offensive players in 2019: Who's No. 1?
Ranking the nine most indispensable defensive players in 2019
You know what they say: Life begins at 30.
Or maybe I say that.
But I do think it's an exaggeration to say a football player promptly expires when he reaches that age. Each player is a unique case, with a specific amount of miles logged, his own injury history and additional variables.
Free agency officially begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET -- and your team can find great value in the 30-something crop.
Here's my ranking of the top nine free agents who've already celebrated the big 3-0 -- with potential destinations for each:
1) Matt Forte, running back (age 30)
I am still of the belief that Forte is one of the best all-around running backs in the NFL. He remains a legit first- and second-down runner, a strong blocker and a potent pass catcher out of the backfield. During his eight-year run in Chicago, he averaged 1,075 rushing yards and 61 receptions per season. Forte's always had a knack for making plays and is a leader.
I believe he should -- and will -- be coveted by many teams. Forte would give the Cowboys a nice backfield boost. Yes, Darren McFadden eclipsed 1,000 yards last year -- filling in admirably for the departed DeMarco Murray -- but that was only the second time McFadden logged 16 games in a season. Dallas certainly could use the talent influx Forte would provide.
If the Jets lose Chris Ivory, whom I listed as one of the riskiest free agents last week, they have to make a play. Forte's talent, versatility and savvy also make him a good fit in New England. Seattle makes a ton of sense, as well, in the wake of Marshawn Lynch's retirement.
2) Alex Mack, center (30)
This cat is a stud -- truly one of the best and reliable centers in the game. He's a free agent after exercising an opt-out clause in his contract with the Browns, but the educated guess is that Cleveland will try to bring him back on a shiny new contract.
If that doesn't come to fruition?
The Jaguars tried to snatch away Mack two offseasons ago, when the Browns had placed the transition tag on the center -- will Jacksonville get back in the mix? Last season, the Chargers were playing up front with guys who shouldn't be in the league. San Diego should make a play for Mack, too.

Which teams made the best free agency moves?
3) Eric Weddle, safety (31)
I'm a huge Weddle fan. There was a period of time where he was annually a top-four safety in the NFL. Nowadays? He's still a very good player with a lot of gas left in the tank. Weddle's an excellent playmaker, tackler and a big-time leader.
Weddle would provide a lot of intangibles -- while breaking the hearts of a lot of Chargers fans -- if he signed with the AFC West rival Raiders. The Jaguars have money to spend -- and a need for a guy like Weddle.
4) Reggie Nelson, safety (32)
Quick quiz, kids: Who led the NFL in interceptions last year?
Well, actually, two players tied with eight picks apiece: 22-year-old rookie Marcus Peters, and yes, Mr. Nelson ... at the ripe age of 32.
I'm sure Cincy wants to keep him. I wouldn't let him get away. But if he does, I can see former Bengals offensive coordinator/current Browns head coach Hue Jackson being the guy to snag him. And like they do with Weddle, the Raiders and Jaguars make sense for Nelson, too.
5) Derrick Johnson, inside linebacker (33)
I've always been a Derrick Johnson fan. He's just so consistent, and the epitome of a great leader. The traditionalist and romantic in me hopes he doesn't leave Kansas City. That would just feel wrong. But of course, free agency's free agency. So we have to explore other possibilities.
If the Giants or Packers actually signed free-agent linebackers, Johnson would be a logical pick. The Bears should get involved if they don't bring in John Fox's old friend Danny Trevathan.
6) Tamba Hali, outside linebacker (32)
Kansas City can't keep everyone. The Chiefs just franchised Eric Berry, and you know they'll make a major effort to bring back Johnson. Where will Hali (and his 86 career sacks) end up?
I think Cardinals GM Steve Keim has a fantastic knack for signing players in their 30s and then watching Bruce Arians maximize them. Tampa Bay would make sense, too. The Falcons can use help getting to the quarterback and former K.C. general manager Scott Pioli is a valued voice these days in Atlanta ...
Have I mentioned the Jaguars will be looking for defensive upgrades?
7) Chris Long, defensive end (30)
I still think the now ex-Ram can play, lead and help a winning team. Long was ravaged by injuries over the past two seasons, but he didn't miss a single game in his first six NFL campaigns. If healthy, Long can still get to the quarterback and be a legit force off the edge.
Division rivals Arizona, San Francisco and Seattle know how disruptive Long can be. For a variety of reasons, I believe he can bounce back.
8) Donald Penn, offensive tackle (32)
Penn proved to be reliable for the Raiders over the past two seasons. A true rock on Oakland's offense line, Penn evened out his play greatly from his days in Tampa. Oakland should look to keep him as a Raider and protect Derek Carr.
Other teams that would make sense for the veteran tackle? The rival Chargers, Lions, Vikings and Seahawks, who all need to improve in the offensive trenches.
9) Robert Ayers, defensive end (30)
Ayers sacked the quarterback 9.5 times last year and was one of the few reliable defenders for the Giants, who should try to keep him.
If Ayers leaves Broadway, I could see him setting up shop in Atlanta or Arizona, as both teams desperately need more pressure off the edge.

When it comes to using pharmaceutical mixing vessels, at Spectac International the objectives are beyond mixing a simple combination of raw ingredients. Mixing equipment employed in the production of pharmaceuticals and medical devices are more specialised and therefore deal with a higher level of complexity.
Facilitating heat transfer, carrying out chemical reactions, preparing fine emulsions, dissolving components, and reducing particle size are just some of the objectives of using pharmaceutical mixing vessels, and this can be carried out by using a variety of sophisticated techniques.
Pharmaceutical mixing vessels are a deciding influence on the finished product, so the proper mixing technique and operation are of paramount importance. Let's look at some of the techniques used for pharmaceutical mixing vessels.
A technique used in preparing pharmaceutical products and intermediates. Static mixing involves external pumps moving the fluids through the vessel and there are no moving parts inside the tank.
A dry blending technique is used to combine an active ingredient, additives, filler and binder and several types of blenders can accomplish this. The Ribbon, Vertical, and Tumble Blenders are the three main types of techniques used for pharmaceutical mixing vessels.
This is a commonly used procedure in preparation of emulsions like eye drops and lotions for example. A high shear mixer is made up of a stationary stator that has a rotor turning at high speed.
This involves maximising the speed of a mixer to provide optimal results in size reduction. When it comes to using pharmaceutical mixing vessels, a common mixing mistake is under-processing. It is vital to ensure there is enough speed to give the best possible product.
These are just some of the mixing techniques that can be used with pharmaceutical mixing vessels. Depending on the desired product properties, the mixing techniques can be sophisticated, and the process is often turned into a multi-stage processing capability.
Pharmaceutical mixing vessels produced by Spectac International are all manufactured to order. They are manufactured to specific customer requirements and CAD drawings are used to ensure all specifications are met. Our engineers are very experienced in producing high quality mixing tanks made to the standards required by the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

RUMA guidelines for the responsible use of vaccines by sheep farmers have been designed to give easy-to-read guiding principles that can be used by sheep producers in the management of their flocks.
individual producers, can be persuaded of the cost benefits of adopting on-farm health strategies. Best practice in the use of veterinary medicines must be an integral part of effective health planning, and these RUMA guidelines aim to define that best practice.
the use of medicines in all livestock. As part of this work RUMA has established practical strategies to promote the correct use of vaccines in the sheep industry.
Vaccines have, from the 1930s, made a major contribution to improving sheep health, welfare and productivity. They are vital components in preventing a wide variety of diseases.
To communicate these strategies effectively to the industry RUMA has produced a comprehensive set of guidelines for the responsible use of vaccines in sheep and other livestock production. These give advice on all aspects from the initial risk assessment to best practice for their use. It also provides clear strategies for the implementation of effective vaccination programmes for farmers and veterinary surgeons to make best use of these valuable relatively inexpensive products.
When animals are exposed to infections and survive then they will develop an immunity and so they are usually completely, or partially, immune or resistance to other attacks by the same infection. The animal when first infected may become ill and need treatment. Vaccination mimics infection and so it provides immunity without the animals succumbing to the disease. Thus it becomes resistant to the disease before it becomes infected and so, if later on the animal is exposed to disease, it will usually not show any signs, or only minor signs, of illness. This will result in animals being healthier and also requiring less treatments. This is beneficial to the animal, the farmer and the consumer. All animals will be immune to some diseases and so there is no risk from consuming food from healthy animals which have previously been vaccinated.
This booklet summarises the responsibilities that sheep farmers have as they use vaccines to safeguard the health, welfare and productivity of their flock.
All farmers have a responsibility to safeguard the health and welfare of the animals under their control. There are occasions where this is a joint responsibility with their veterinary surgeon, such as in the discharge of correct and appropriate vaccination programmes. Farmers and stockkeepers can play a major role in ensuring that these responsibilities are properly discharged and that medicines are responsibly used by observing the guidelines published here. Similar guidelines form part of all farm assurance schemes.
An appropriate farm health plan should be drawn up, observed and regularly reviewed in association with the attending veterinary surgeon. This plan should outline routine preventive treatments and management practices to cover issues such as foot care and vaccination programmes along with worming, lice and mite control strategies. Flock performance should be monitored for signs of disease and the farm health plan updated and implemented to take account of such signs.
Vaccine usage should be based on a risk assessment but some should be used as a routine. Vaccines are complimentary to good hygiene and nutrition.
It is essential that any vaccine programme is based on a correct diagnosis. In addition a full risk assessment of potential diseases should be made as and when the flock health plan is updated.
The prescribing veterinary surgeon or adviser must be made aware of all other vaccine programmes and medications used in the flock so that adverse reactions can be avoided.
The recommended route of administration must be followed. Always check when using a new vaccine whether it should be administered under the skin (subcutaneous [sc]) or into the muscle (intra muscular [im]) or in the case of the orf vaccine intra-dermally [id].
for human consumption. This can usually be found on medicine labels but may be set by the veterinary surgeon.
To obtain the best results from a vaccine it is important that it is stored correctly, usually in a refrigerator set between +2°C to +8°C. They must not be frozen, since this destroys the suspension and they become floccular in appearance. Some oil-based vaccines may be gently warmed to reduce their viscosity before use. Once opened follow the instructions for how long they may be used before discarding. In addition part finished bottles (vials) should be correctly discarded at the end of the day's operation.
An animal medicine record book, copies of relevant regulations and codes of good practice must be kept safely on farm (e.g. the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) Code of Practice on the Responsible Use of Animal Medicines on the Farm).
Accurate information must be kept on the identity of the sheep being vaccinated. Records should also include the date of administration, batch number, amount and expiry date information for each animal vaccinated and the withdrawal period that must be observed. Medicine records required by legislation should be maintained for at least five years (even if the sheep in question have been slaughtered).
Any suspected adverse reaction in a sheep to any medicine should be reported immediately to the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) and the supplier. The report to the VMD can be done through the prescribing veterinary surgeon or the supplier. The adverse reaction can also be reported by the livestock keeper direct to the VMD. Suspected adverse reaction forms can be found on its website http://www.vmd.gov.uk/. All such suspected adverse reactions should also be accurately recorded in the on-farm medicine records. In the case of vaccines a suspected failure to prevent disease should also be reported although it does not constitute an adverse reaction as such.
Cooperate with and observe the rules of farm assurance schemes that monitor medication and withdrawal compliance. However any sheep keeper should never feel constrained from safeguarding the health and welfare of the sheep.
When contemplating vaccinating a flock it is essential that the sheep are dry, unstressed and not suffering sub clinical disease. Heavily pregnant ewes require special care. Sheep in good nutritional condition generally respond better to vaccines, but there is always, to a degree, some individual variation. No vaccine confers 100% protection and overwhelming infection can induce mild disease in correctly vaccinated sheep. It is as well to remember that the orf vaccine only claims to be an aid in the control of the disease.
Adequate training in the correct administration of vaccines and good recording systems is essential. A protocol, with the attending veterinary surgeon, to provide a framework for identifying disease problems and making the necessary changes to management practices should be agreed. This can lead to the implementation of suitable vaccination regimes. Staff working directly with animals should be trained to identify health problems early and in the use of veterinary medicines.

HAPPY 3RD ANNIVERSARY MUSIC INDUSTRAPEDIA:
This week was our 3rd anniversary publicly, and our 5th year of production.
YEAR 3 - REPORT CARD:
On the surface, over the last year, since our last update, there hasn't been much to see in terms of major development on the site (http://www.music-industrapedia.com/); but, underneath the surface an enormous amount of work has taken place. We have been very busy building content within our pages almost every single day of the past year putting in hundreds of hours of work on building content and moving beyond the many minimal / blank pages when we began.
As part of the 'content' building process we've been very active fleshing out the music artist pages for many international music acts we've created in the two years before that especially with key artist info and embedded videos on their most recognizable or best track. We've been especially busy though deeply researching who the major music artist are of all the key countries of the world. We now nearly have music artists represented on our pages for nearly every country of the world. This has been a long hard process tracking down "ANYTHING" to include from some of these countries, but we are nearly there in having every country listed with one of their key music artists.
In our first two years since our launch, we mainly concentrated on getting the major artists listed and created for the top 8 music markets of the world namely the USA, Japan, The UK, Germany, France, Australia and Canada. In the last year we've put considerable focus on getting the major music artists pages listed and created for Italy, Spain, Mexico, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, The Netherlands, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Cuba and Jamaica.
Music Industrapedia still has a long way to go, but we are in for the long haul. There is still a big lack of written content, due to the slowness in finding writers, but we at least have some great video content for many if not most pages we've created.
We are still blitzing it in our search results for Google for the search term music industry + 'country' searched and we are still No.1 on Google for the search term ' global music industry directory'.
Some of you have also lamented the ceasing of our 'Music of the World' series on social media. Unfortunately, at the time we ran out of decent artists to include (research has taken ages). However, we have been steadily preparing for that series return which we will kick off again in the next day or so, so stay tuned.
Thanks again for your continued interest in Music Industrapedia. We plan to make it even bigger, better and more substantial over the next year and beyond. Regards Simon Rashleigh (Founder & Chief Administrator - Music Industrapedia)
10th January 2015: Its been a while since we updated this, but we wanted to reported on a new expansion of music artist pages on the site where we feature a visual grid of major albums by an artist. So fare we have created major album visual grids for the following artists: Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Radiohead and Kraftwerk. Check out these pages to see how they look.
16th February 2013: This site went LIVE
9th February 2013: New Logo and branding for Music Industrapedia
25th September 2012: Created new Backstage Door Sign In / Log In page.
Between September 2011 and September 2012 (Overview): Obviously we have not updated news much on the site, but a lot has been going on and we have been busy developing the site further during that whole year period.
August 18th 2011 - New Background Red colour wrap added and temporary logo update. Also inclusion of 'Ye Olde Global Music Industrians' logo in the top banner.
August 17th 2011 - Created a maximum and minimum width for site so that it works better on smaller websites and less sophisticated browsers such as IE7. Various pages and images were rescaled to work within these new parameters.
August 15th 2011 - 'Ye Olde Film Industrapedia' sister site (not yet available except to key industrapedia colleagues) updated in a major way to resemble major features of this site except that the colour scheme is blue (not red) and it may be called 'Ye Olde Screen Industrapedia' to better reflect the morphing integrated nature of the film and TV industry in today's world.
FROM MID JULY to MID AUGUST - A major amount of work was done researching all major music acts of the world and added to the music artist list pages for America, UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, France and a many other European nations. Also lots of research undertaken regarding UK music labels, recorded music retailers and music venues, much of which has been included as list entries for our UK music industry directory pages and which will be turned into individual pages over time.
July 4th 2011 - Renamed 'Latin American Music Industry' Section to 'South American Music Industry'. This was a necessary move to try and balance out the country representation between North America and South America. As a result of this change Central America and The Carribean (AKA West Indies) will be included in the North American section to balance out the number of countries in North America amd South America which was becoming unbalanced with the inclusion of all the appropriate countries for Latin America.
June 28th 2011 - "Major Navigation Change" - Changed Drop Down Menu on Top Screen Bar from "MUSIC BIZ - OTHER" to "INDUSTRY DIRECTORY".
June 25th 2011 - New Wide Screen format applied to allow the design of our pages fit on any screen (and using scroll bars to see the content), instead of content being squashed up on smaller screens and looking horrible. Please Note: The wide screen format on Music Induistrapedia is a temporary measure and we will be returning to a standard sized screen format in the future.
June 23rd 2011 - Created major music market (multiple page listings) for the following music industry nations: Israel and Poland.
May 27th 2011 - Creation of VIDEO TUTORIAL PAGE
May 26th 2011 - Creation of Music Retailer pages for the following US states: District of Columbia, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Washington.
May 20th 2011 - Finally got the architecture right for Music Venue list pages and Music Retail list pages. Check out Music retail page on Australia and Alabama to see how we combine the retail industries of Recorded Music and Music Equipment. We have also got the Music Venue structure right for the site, please check out our melbourne-music-venues page to see what the new structure is to be employed on every territory's music venue page (when we get round to updating them all)
May 19th 2011 - Major restructuring of the classical-music-industry section. We have decided to create separate pages for classical musicians, and to separate composers and conductors after some industry consultation. We have also included a new section for Opera singers as well and given Opera its own sub industry section. This has expanded the classical music industry sub sections from 9 to 12 sections, but it better represents the industry. Check out our Classical Music industry page for Australia to see how this works. Another change has been the renaming the category of 'Production Music' to 'Screen-Music' after some industry consultation which is a better umbrella term for this section.
May 11th 2011 - Created major music market (multiple page listings) for the following music industry nations: Netherlands,
May 10th 2011 - Created major music market (multiple page listings) for the following music industry nations: Austria, Italy and Spain.

Changed the viewing order of the side panel (left), so that the Music Industry by Region group of links is more prominantely displayed for first time users and visitors to Music Industrapedia.
New Maps for Regional Outlook Pages - Asian Music Industry, European Music Industry, Latin American Music Industry Australasian, Oceanian & Others Music Industry Middle East & African Music Industry, North American Music Industry.
New Music Retailer Pages for the following American states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California and Michigan
New Search Box on Landing Page and large 'Ye Olde Music Industrapedia' - temporary logo.
Consolidation of the Classical Music Industry pages under one category listing which is now Classical Music Industry. New sub categories have also been added such as classical music retail, classical music support services and classical music industry people.
Inclusion within the Australia Music Industry section of 13 new sub categories taking it from 10 sub categories to 23 sub categories.

Translated Summary: Education in schools, colleges, or universities across national groups can promote tolerance and decrease prejudice. Describes hypothetical project exposing a mixed class with African American students matching their proportion of the general population (10%) being taught a curriculum that includes the conditions under which they were brought to America, the history of slavery, poverty, and current living conditions relative to white Americans. The same method might be used for other minority groups as well, including Mexican Americans, the major European nationalities, etc. And, naturally, Jews would be treated equivalently. At the elementary school level, calls on the Ordn schools to be leaders in putting this kind of endeavor into effect. Itche Goldberg and Rubin Saltzman are listed as editors of Heym un Derziung; Goldberg was the main literary editor.

The Jewish People's Fraternal Order was the largest 'national' section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.

This bilingual project conserves, digitizes, and curates a portion of Cornell's International Workers Order (IWO) archives and most especially those of its Jewish division, known as the Jewish People's Fraternal Order (JPFO). The IWO was founded in 1930 as an immigrant fraternal order that provided high-quality, low-cost health and burial insurance and other benefits for members. The origins of the IWO / JPFO arise from a decade of splits (1920-1930) concerning the U.S.S.R., the Bolshevik Revolution and Communism that consumed the Jewish Federation of Socialists and the Arbeter Ring (Workmens' Circle) groups associated with Eugene V. Debs' Socialist Party. While the vast majority of the IWO's members--200,000 at its peak right after World War II--did not belong to the Communist Party of the United States of America, the IWO's politics and leadership were largely aligned with those of the Party. The IWO was legally disbanded in 1953 due to the Cold War "Red Scare." This closure followed on a famous and unprecedented court case: its insurance funds and records were seized by New York State's Insurance Department. The presence of a goodly portion of the IWO's archives in the Kheel Center's 5276 Catherwood Library collection at Cornell's Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR) School is a direct result of that seizure.

Think about when Robert Frank's images were made. What was their meaning then? How does their meaning change today? Try to spend some time exploring other parts of the museum. How does this space and collection differ/compare to other venues we've visited this semester?

I have been to the Metropolitan museum of Art many times since starting school in New York. Even before I moved here, when I would just visit New York as a kid, it was always a place that I would go to with my family. The Met is one of New York City's great landmarks and one of the best museums in the world. Upon entering the met you can already tell that this is a special place. There is art from all around the world and the museum contains some of the most beautiful artwork around. The exhibit "Looking In: Robert Frank's The Americans" is a collections of photographs that showcases his work from the book "The Americans" which is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this year. All the work is in black and white which gives it a very old timey feel and considering the fact that all of the photos were taken almost 50 years ago they feel old timey on their own. They seem to feature simple bits and pieces of American life. The photos are little tiny moments that, when put all together make up the fifties in America. The most striking images are the ones that are of people. The way people dressed and appeared back then is very interesting to see. Some of the photos also seem to be hinting at some of the racial issues that were hot topics of the time. Overall the exhibit was very moving and striking.

The met is known for many things; although, its most recent claim to fame is the lunch table for "Manhattans Elite" aka the social hierarchy of Gossip Girl. Sadly I did not see Blair or Serena on the met steps. Although, I did see tourist from all over the world flock into the museum to experience a metropolitan afternoon. The museum itself is huge, and one can easily get lost, and trust me I did! It took me four security guards to find my way to one of the most exquisite photography exhibits I have ever seen! Bravo Robert Frank, your work is fabulous! As a student of photography I was able to appreciate Robert's work on many levels. My favorite aspect of his exhibit was his ability to use photography as a historical document. The first photograph that caught my eye was a picture of people on a bus; the whites were in the front, and the blacks were in the back. This photograph was important to include, as I was immediately aware of the time period that these photographs were taken. Something else I found interesting was the juxtaposition Frank used, when he matted two photographs together. For example, the photograph of the American Flag represented that all men are created equal, but then that picture was paired with a photograph depicting racism—in turn making each image more powerful. At the end of the exhibit I was reading about Frank, and came across an interesting paragraph, Frank was discussing public and private memory. These pictures allowed me, as the viewer to have an intimate private experience with each subject and to imagine how they were feeling. These photographs are portals to the past, although each photograph still posse's relevance today. Many people still face oppression, and racism, therefore Franks exhibit is appropriate, and current.

This was not my first visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but it has been awhile since I have been inside the museum. The museum is so large it gets confusing but the diverse amounts of art there are makes up for it. Compared to the past museums I went to this semester this had a very different feel of classical art even with the many modern sections there were. I enjoyed that regardless of how many times I have been to the Met I seem to find a new and different area every time. The location of this museum is also another reason why I enjoy it so much. The steps of the museum along with 5th Avenue outside central park are some of my favorite places in the city. This atmosphere around the Met contributes to is feel as a museum.
The Robert Frank exhibit was by far one of the most popular exhibits I had been to all day. His photography was very real and he tried to show the truth. When these came out in 1959 it was very controversial for its content and its composition. His photography seemed to be very modern, I feel like you could go see work that could relate to his from an upcoming photographer today. His idea of showing the real life struggles of an everyday person was something everyone could relate to. "…But maybe nothing is really true, except what's out there and what's out there is constantly changing", quote from Robert Frank. This constantly changing world still has people relating back to the same feelings of depression, love and joy. His photography captured the time period and these feeling that are constant.

I have always been very interested in photography. To me it is the most beautiful and creative way to capture a moment. Photography is very raw, it does not leave out any details and it allows artists to have their own artistic input on every day events. Robert Frank's photographs all seemed to capture the main theme of his time, romance. There were a couple of pictures that caught my eye in particular.
There is one photograph titled "Tulip" that shows a man in public holding a tulip behind his back. This picture has a very mysterious feeling to it. Viewers must ask: Why is he carrying that flower? Why is it hidden behind his back? Who is it for?
This was one of my favorite pictures because it has a romantic feeling to it. I feel that during that time it was pretty ordinary to see a man carrying a flower. It was some what a custom to give women flowers. In present day it is a surprise to see a man make a romantic gesture like that. In Robert Frank's time I believe this photograph would represent an every day situation. But in present day I believe this photograph would represent something rare and unordinary.
There was another photograph that caught my attention immediately, it was actually a series of photographs of an old couple. It shows this couple sitting on a bench together, then it shows them walking away together. The couple is shown hugging and embracing in all of the photographs. In Robert Frank's time I believe this represented how common marriage and faithfulness was. In present day I believe these pictures would represent how rare true love is and how it is next to impossible to have a long healthy marriage.
In the end Robert Frank's photographs show what used to be common in that time, are considered extremely rare now. These photographs have shown me how there is so much more to life than just school and money. They also emphasize that we need to focus more on love and self enjoyment sometimes than just continuously working.

Robert Frank's "The Americans" exhibit was very intriquing. Although the photographs were taken in the 1950's, they were still relevant to todays social and political issues. Frank traveled around the United States at a time when it was best to hide every problem under the facade of the "all-american" 1950's family. However, Frank delved deeper into society, and photographed the true United States in all its glory and hate. Each photograph told a different story and had a different impact of Frank's book, which was published in 1958. Each photograph depicted a different side of the United Sates during a turbulent time. Two of the most striking photographs in the entire exhibits were very obscure, yet very interesting. The first, entitled "5 avenue" depicted a road in Texas, with a giant neon sing that said "5 avenue." When most people think of "5 avenue," they think of New York City, and all the designer shopping one could do. However, in this photograph the street was empty and depicted a dirt road. Frank was being ironic. The normal thinking of "5 avenue" is one with designer stores and hundreds of people rushing to go about their everyday lives. However, this this photograph the complete oppasite was shown. The second photograph was of a man, standing on a ledge during a protest in Chicago. The image was raw and showed the emotion the man was feeling during the protest. The image was extremly powerful, and definitly showed the viewer what really went on during the 1950's in the United States.
Compare to the other venues I have been to this semester, the MET was definitly my favorite. It houses so many other interesting exhibits that cover a wide variety of subject matters. Although I did not get to all the exhibits I wanted to see, the few that I did visit were amazing. The MET is truely an amazing museum, and defintily a place I would visit over and over again.

As a first time visitor of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the architecture of the building instantly took my breath away. After getting my ticket, I ventured up the echoing stairs to Robert Frank's exhibit, "The Americans." Robert Frank's work inspired me. His ability to capture the essence of each American culture with the snap of a shutter was baffling. Much of his work surrounded racism during the time period. His idea to use an American flag in many of his pictures was revolutionary. It is as if he was saying, "Look what America is," but without having to use words. He was ahead of his time, knowing that America had to change, and his work reflected his political and social views on the subject. I think the meaning behind his pictures is even more powerful today. We are struck by the idea that there actually was a time when racism in America was as bad as it was during Robert Frank's time period.
The exhibit made me wonder how he took these photographs. Did he just stand in certain places and wait for something interesting to happen? That's the thing, he wasn't looking for anything interesting - just real, raw moments in life, and they turned out to be interesting because he gave them his artistic touch. I think a true photographer is someone who needs nothing more than a camera to take an amazing picture - and to derive emotion from that picture defines an artist. Robert Frank was someone who I had never heard of before taking this trip to the Met, and now I left with a newfound appreciation and respect for him and his work. Upon exploring some of the other exhibits in the museum, such as the Egyptian and Medieval exhibits, I found the Met to be an extremely diverse museum. In comparison to the other museums and libraries we have visited this semester, I have to say that I think the Metropolitan Museum of Art was the biggest and most extravagant so far!
Excellence is the key word.

Excellence is the key word. The photos were very striking. It seems that the photos were taken during the 50's. The 50's is such an interesting era because it was the time when civil rights began to come headstrong. It was quite evident that racism was very much present in Mr.Franks photography. It also appears to me that Mr.Frank captured moments in everyday life. There was one portrait "Elevator-Miami Beach". The girl appears to be the bellhop and she seems to be a little tired. That can be due to going up and down and letting people in and out for however long she has been doing it. The lady coming out of the elevator seems to have on a fur shawl. That normally shows that someone is rich. Also, there is a portrait of people on a train. The Caucasians were in the front and the African Americans were in the back. A clear sign of racism in the 1950's. I really enjoyed his photography because the photos were simple. You can easily relate them to everyday life.

I was very excited to go to the Met. I hadn't been there since I was a little. All I had remembered of it was the awesome Egypt exhibit so I was excited to see that again. As soon as I got there I headed to the Robert Frank exhibit. I really enjoyed the exhibit. Photography has always been a big hobby of mine, especially black and white photography, so it made this exhibit extremely intriguing. I find black and white photography to be very raw which is where I find the appeal in it. I was somewhat familiar of Robert Frank and his work. It was very cool because the photos are from over 50 years ago so it was interesting to compare the way photography has come along since today. It was also interesting to see the depiction of "the american life" during those times through photography. I liked how all of the different pictures showed different aspects of America. My favorite was titled U.S. 285, New Mexico. This was a photo of a road going of into the distance. I loved it because the angle in which the photo was taken just made the picture and the road looked like it went on forever. I've always found it amazing how taking a photo from a different perspective can completely change the picture. Overall I really enjoyed the exhibit. It gave me an excuse to go back to a place where I had great childhood memories.

Before I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art I heard it was an amazing place and a must go to. When I found out this was are next exhibit I was so excited to see what the fuss was about and could not wait to get there. The exhibit by Robert Frank had a very honest feeling to them. They were real people with real emotions and it really truly captured what life was like in the 50's. One major theme I saw in his photographs was opposition. He would have a symbolic piece like the American Flag or Santa Clause in the shot with a down and out looking person as the main focus. Some of the pictures had to do with the segregation factor of the 1950's and some had to do with horrible living or working environments experienced during that time. The picture that interested me the most was The Trolley because I thought it was ironic that both black and white passengers had depressed and lifeless expressions on their faces even though it was thought that whites had a better life than blacks during that time.
The Metropolitan building itself is a massive and intimidating when your walking up the steps. Inside it kind of feels like Grand Central Station when you walk in and you can't help but be overwhelmed. It's very touristy and definitely can't be fully experienced in one day because of the amount of art work house in the Met. I would consider it the mecca of museums in the United States and I am going back in the near future to explore more parts of it.

You can see that the Metropolitan Museum of Art is quite a place even before entering the building because of its beautiful architecture. After entering the museum I was shocked at how big it was. I didn't expect there to be so much space and so many people at the museum. Unlike most of the exhibitions at the other museums, there was artwork from around the world. It shows the evolution of art with art from different civilizations and different styles of art. Studying about the World Wars was something I always enjoyed throughout High School. When studying about the wars, we always discussed the other nations in more detail and post World War II life in Europe. We never really discussed life in the United States, which is why this museum was one that I looked forward to visiting more than the others. The photos themselves are in black and white showed that they were taken many years ago. Just by looking at these pictures, you can see that there was a difference between life back then and now, especially with the way people dressed in the past. My interpretation of the photos was that life was not quite as busy back in the fifties. Like Erin, I thought the Trolley was the most interesting. It was the most interesting to me because it most clearly and effectively showed the segregation with the blacks sitting in the back and the whites sitting in the front. I immediately thought about the stories of Rosa Parks and visiting the Black Panthers exhibition because those pictures show how far the United States has come today with trying to create equality and fair rights for all.

I always love going to the Met. The immense building is so beautiful, although it is always overly crowded with tourists from all over the world. I feel like i could spen days and days in the Met and I wouldn't be able to observe and apreciate all the great works of art housed in the museum. I got lost on the way to the Robert Frank exhibit, however it was a blessing in disguise because I stumbled upon several amazing exhibits. At one point I actually found myself in a Japanese garden designed to display the art of Feng Shui.
When I finally made my way to the Robert Frost exhibit I was amazed at the power of his photographs. Each image depicts an everyday object, person, event, etc, but Robert Frank manages to capture so much emotion in each image. He captured the emotions of everyday American people in beautifull and moving photographs. My favorite photograph from the collection was #4. It was an image of three men at a funeral. The photograph had such a profound feeling of sadness. Robert Frank captured the expression on the men's faces so perfectly, the veiwer felt as though they were experiencing the same emotions.
I also loved the final image from the collection which was a picture of the photographer's wife and son in a car. The picture was taken while the family was traveling across the country so that Robert Frank could pursue his photography. This image captured the feeling of sacrifice that the family went through for Robert Frank's work. My favorite aspect of Robert Frank's photography is that all the pictures are black and white. I feel like this enhances the image. I think that black and white images make it easeir to see what is right in front of you.

Before going the Robert Frank gallery I did a little reading to get a bit of history on the artist. I discovered that when "The Americans" photo book was first published it did not gain immediate popularity and at first suffered some criticism. This was apparently because at the time of its release Frank's style of photography deviated from popular techniques at the time.
After visiting the exhibit I was shocked that it did take a while for the book to come into the mainstream and gain wider respect. The themes that corresponded with the collection of images were very candid portraits of society and culture of the mid-1950's. The concept of racism in America was documented in the images, along with social class separation, and religion in America. Even though during the time the civil rights movements was picking up momentum, many of theme stated in his photography are still present in modern America. Different social classes continue to exists and are discriminated against along with different races and sexes.
Also, browsing through the collection I thought about our previous reading assignment and the article that discussed the importance of a caption on a photo. The captions at the Robert Frank gallery really provided a lot of meaning that would have been lost or otherwise gone unnoticed. Just the simple caption of the photographs location provided a lot more understanding of the ideas being expressed by they artist.
Compared to the other museums I have visited the MET has one of the most extensive collections of art and draws a large crowd. Despite the crowds I find it wonderful.

I was blown away by this exhibit to say the least. I absolutely love black and white photographs, and to see his perspective in the 83 images was very moving and inspiring. After I viewed the exhibition, I came to understand just how he changed the course of 20th century photography at the time, since it wasn't taken seriously. The hobby of photography has consumed a few years of my life now and I feel so privileged that I had the chance to see Robert Frank's work. The people he captured in these pictures looked so real and raw with emotion, and each picture told its own story. Frank's pictures depicted racial issues, religion, politics, economic disparity and even couples in love. They all have an underlying meaning that made me want to analyze the photo and all of its details. I found it interesting how Frank utilized the positioning of the people with the lighting. The meaning of the pictures changes today since the American culture has revolutionized, although some of the themes are still relevant. The 1950's always seemed like an intriguing decade and I truly enjoyed this exhibit. Aside from Robert Frank's "The Americans," I enjoyed viewing the artifacts and works of art from all over the world. This space differs from the other venues we've visited since it is much more vast and historic. Compared to the others we've seen, this particular exhibit of photography gave off a more real, wordless and motionless feel since it portrays such reality at the time.

Robert Frank was one of the first photographers I studied when I began learning how to take pictures - and I still vividly remember leafing through "The Americans" during the first day of Intro to Photography. I came into this exhibit extremely eager to see his work for myself, and the prospect of being able to look at Frank's photographs when they were among the first I had studied as a photography student was very exciting to me. The overt meaning in Frank's work is very clear, as he captures iconic moments of Americana in a way that most people can easily understand and make sense of.
However, it's the message behind the image that really resonates in Frank's work. "The Americans" was shot during the Cold War Era - and because of that, the patriotic images take on an entirely different meaning. For example, "Parade - Hoboken, New Jersey" (The picture at the top of this blog for those of you who, like me, have a bad memory) has a chilling covert message behind it. The most important aspect to keep in mind when looking at Frank's work is the level of fear and uncertainty during the 1950's and The Cold War. People constantly lived in fear of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, and students were taught how to hide under their desks in case of an attack. The fear was palpable and real to Americans during that time, and therefore images like Frank's which depicted American symbolism held a special kind of tension. In "Parade", you can almost feel the undertone of fear of the people in their apartment windows. This unspoken meaning is something that I think Robert Frank is a master of, and I was very happy to attend this exhibit at the Met.

This was my first time at the Metropolitan Museum in a very long time. I am still always intrigued by the statues and art there so going there on assignment is a treat rather than a chore. This Exhibit proved the saying a picture says a thousand words. I really enjoyed Robert Frank's "The Americans" because its basically a huge photo album for America. Each picture was so simple but had such depth. My favorite picture was of a black woman holding a white baby, it was probably the baby's nanny but it was beautiful. I also like all the rough drafts and journal entries displayed, they added more realism to his art. I noticed that he traveled all over to take pictures and that made it interesting. The exhibit was a bit crowded when i went but everyone else there were very astonished by everything. I even tried to listen to the tour guide but I walked in the middle and wasn't sure what he was talking about.I guess their meaning back then was to show the differences in different parts of the country, and how everyone was going through something different. While today we can see it as how different everything was back then. This museum was different from the others because it had art from almost every time period, artist and it was just plain beautiful.

It has been eight years since the last time I have been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I recall the museum being huge and myself being afraid to touch anything because it reminded me of my great-aunt Nancy's house, which looks like a museum, and my mother always told me I wasn't allowed to touch anything when we went there to visit her. Anyways, I had to venture through the whole thing and save Robert Frank's "The American's" exhibit for last. I must say I am glad I did save his exhibit for last because it was absolutely breathtaking.
The exhibit was all beautiful black and white photographs from the 1950's that ranged from people sitting in cars to red carpet Hollywood movie premieres. I have always been a fan of simplistic black and white prints. I think they are very sophisticated looking, but at the same time show a deeper meaning to something besides just being a pretty picture. With each print, I wanted to dive into that picture and live in it for a moment to truly understand the meaning of it. I felt as though with this exhibit one couldnt just move from print to print. You really had to take some time with each picture because each one was a different story about something during that era (1950's).
It is very interesting to see this exhibit because it is a unique form of communication using photographs from years ago and seeing the parallel differences and similarities between them using the time then compared and contrasted with our current situations in the world today.
Many people today take photography for granted. Everyone is always taking endless amount of the same pictures that dont really show meaning to anyone but themselves and adding them to facebook. This includes me unfortunately. But after seeing this exhibit it makes me want to better appreciate the art of photography due to how beautiful some artists really see things. And when they capture these things and are able to share them with the world for generations, it truly inspires.

The last time I was at the Met, I was in seventh grade and was, for the most part, extremely bored for the duration of the visit and busied myself by running through the Egyptian art exhibit and was as a result reprimanded by a few different figures of authority. I figured this time I would try to take advantage of it a little more.
I really enjoyed the photographs by Frank. I think they really touched on American culture at the time in a way that family photographs or posed works couldn't. The photographs really are fragments of time. In some of the photos, it doesn't even look as though the subjects are aware their photos are being taken. In the same way the theater can allow a 4th wall to stand or break it down, these photographs are successfully ignoring any kind of a wall, because they are taken in such a manner which denies it's existence in the first place. They are raw and beautiful, taking simple moments from the lives of these every day people and turning them into history. Unlike posed photography or family photographs which are most often used to document the lifestyles and culture of a time period or generation, these photographs are taken with no bias and as a result give the viewer a real understanding and feel for what the time period was like.

I love the MET, it's one of my favorite places in the city to get lost in plus it's location right next to Cedar Hill makes it my prime territory in the summer. This visit to the MET did not start well as I, upon entering, almost slit my finger off with the MET pin! Robert Frank's "The Americans" exhibit is celebrating it's 50th anniversary, though in 2008 France celebrated it's 50th anniversary of this piece. "The Americans" came out one year earlier in France. Overall the work Frank did changed the course of photography and helped America see itself more clearly. Through 83 photographs Robert Frank disected American life to more blatantly show people "plagued by racism, ill-served by their politicians, and rendered numb by a rapidly expanding consumer culture", his words of describing his exhibit are much better than mine would ever be. As I walked through his collection I found that Frank did an amazing job in showing the America that has always been behind closed doors, hidden behind walls, locked away from the central stage of media. His gallery was magnificent in the way that he made his artform speak without even using words. His quote, which was placed above some of his pictures truly helped the viewer understand why he pursued his subject so broadly yet clearly. Basically I loved this exhibit and hope to revisit it asap.

The Robert Frank's exhibit went along with the theme from the video diaries we saw last week, with the idea of being a mirror. Frank wanted to show the country as it really was, without any poses or sets, he just wanted to capture a true American moment. His exhibit intrigued me with its small details that could go easily unnoticed but defined the message of the picture. For instance the army recruiting office, all pictures of those offices have smiling recruiters sitting tall behind their desks. But Frank chose to take a picture of the recruiting office just from the door way and in the corner you could see the feet of the officer resting on top of his desk. I admire the way he chose to take his pictures, without posing people or moving unwanted objects. Frank gives a different kind of view into what America was during its times of war and poverty.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is massive compared to the Brooklyn Museum, and the Morgan Museum. But the amount of people shuffling in and out of the exhibits and rooms would make most believe that it is crowded and stuffy when its actually spacious and relaxing. I went on Monday, the day of the Italian American Heritage Parade, which made it all that more interesting. As I walked along Central Park I got to watch marching band after marching band perform and strange Italian people say strange Italian things. And while at the museum I saw people in their parade costumes exploring the museum, and taking in a New York treasure.

Q: What is the difference between Html::encode() and just the basic html code in YII2? I'm a beginner in YII and I don't know whats the difference between <?= Html::encode($this->title)?> to just <?= $this->title?>.. I have tested these two and they seemed to give the same output.

A: Docs and source code can tell you everything.
Basically Html::encode() is just the wrapper of htmlspecialchars native PHP function:

Encodes special characters into HTML entities.
The application charset will be used for encoding.

To understand the basic difference and benefit of that, try to echo:
$string = '<script>alert(1);</script>';

echo $string;

and then:
echo Html::encode($string);

So encode is useful for filtering user saved data. If the data comes from developer, not from user, you may not apply encode and HTML will be displayed as is.

Rewards of the Road Less Traveled
This sparsely populated, gently sweeping stretch of U.S. 60 provides a glimpse into New Mexico's long-ago era of cattle drives and mining booms.
by Andrew Collins photos by ANDREW COLLINS
Why Go Now
U.S. 60 appeals to unconventional souls. This string of tiny frontier towns, interrupted by only the Very Large Array, resonates with curious travelers blessed with a little extra time on their hands, an appreciation of wide-open landscapes, and a willingness to forgo the predictable convenience of cookie-cutter fast-food restaurants and truck stops in exchange for the charm of quirky saloons and mom-and-pop roadside cafés. There's something endearingly peaceful about driving from bustling Socorro, over the verdant Magdalena Mountains, across the vast Plains of San Agustin, past dormant volcanic domes, toward the Arizona border—a much more poetic route than the Interstate for traveling to and from our neighbor to the west.
DAY 1: SOCORRO AND MAGDALENA
Coronado's Treasure Chest
The wealth of well-preserved Victorian (mostly Queen Anne, gingerbread, and Gothic Revival) houses and other buildings around downtown hint at Socorro's commercial success during the late 19th century. Indeed, following the discovery of silver in the mountains west of town in 1867, Socorro prospered; in the early 1890s, its population of 5,000 was the largest in the state. The mining industry subsequently declined, but it left Socorro with an enduring related legacy, the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, better known as New Mexico Tech. Stop by the school's Mineralogical Museum to view a spectacular collection of some 15,000 gems and minerals collected from throughout the Southwest and dubbed "Coronado's Treasure Chest." Near the town's historic, tree-shaded Plaza, you can pick up brochures at the Socorro Heritage & Visitor Center, and visit the Old San Miguel Mission, parts of which date to the early 17th century.
Saloon Salute
In honor of Socorro having supported some 40 saloons during its boom years in the Territorial era, stop for lunch at Socorro Springs Restaurant & Brewery, an airy, modern space known for pizzas grilled in a pecan wood–fired oven and well-crafted lagers and ales, including the kicky but balanced Inner Glow Porter. El Camino Family Restaurant, a faithfully maintained 1950s-era joint, offers classic diner food, slices of pie, and more, 24/7.
Zinc Hole
As you leave Socorro, U.S. 60 climbs rapidly, twisting through canyons, crossing arroyos, and paralleling an erstwhile rail spur known as the "elevator" because it rose 2,000 feet in about 15 miles. In the town of Magdalena, the wood-frame Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway depot now houses the library. Drive south a few miles to reach Kelly, now a ghost town, but in the 1880s a wild-and-woolly boomtown with some 3,000 residents. Although founded as a silver-mining operation, Kelly prospered in the early 20th century as a source of zinc—some $20 million worth of the ore was extracted from these hills over a 25-year period. The mine is on private property, but visitors can meander among (though not inside) the several abandoned buildings and foundations, enjoying spectacular mountain views. Stop by Bear Mountain Coffee House for a one-day visitor pass. End your day at the atmospheric Golden Spur Saloon and M&M Grill, whose sprawling patio is a fine place to enjoy a strong margarita, a green-chile cheeseburger, barbecued chicken wings, and conversation with friendly locals.
Drive a few miles west of downtown to reach Rancho Magdalena B&B, a Territorial-style adobe inn whose three charming guest rooms have wood-burning fireplaces. Owners Lori and Lee Scholes also rent two- and three-bedroom vacation homes, including a cozy Victorian cottage in town and a secluded cabin in the foothills up toward Kelly Mine. Their downtown gift shop, the Market Place, carries antiques, Kachinas, Pendleton blankets, and Native jewelry.
DAY 2: VERY LARGE ARRAY TO QUEMADO
Breakfast with a Side of Art
In the morning, walk through the faded-turquoise wooden door of Magdalena's Bear Mountain Coffee House & Gallery, and jump-start your day with a cup of potent java and a delicious breakfast of blueberry sourdough waffles, or eggs Benedict over fluffy house-made biscuits, smothered in a spicy cheese sauce. In this century-old former bar lined with vintage photos of Kelly Mine, convivial proprietor Danielle Fitzpatrick also operates Magdalena's visitor center and a gallery that represents several talented local artists. Check out Jose Padilla's functional yet handsome quilt and rug hangers, which he crafts from red cedar, cholla, and willow; Yvonne Magener's ornately decorated gold- and silver-leaf tiles and dyed emu, goose, and duck eggs; and Eddie Tsosie's watercolor and acrylic paintings of life in the Diné Nation (he also painted the mural of Magdalena's mountainous landscape on the gallery's exterior).
Making Contact
As you venture west on U.S. 60, the seemingly endless Plains of San Agustin open up before you. There are few signs of human life out here, but do keep an eye out for the occasional herd of speedy pronghorn, North America's fastest land mammal—these antelope-like creatures with distinctive white backsides and underbellies evolved to easily outpace the long-extinct American cheetah. Some 20 miles from Magdalena you'll encounter one of the West's most astonishing roadside attractions: a Y-shaped formation of 27 massive, bright-white antennas, each rising to the height of an eight-story building. You may recognize the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's aptly named Very Large Array from Contact, the movie starring Jodie Foster. Scientists use these 82-foot-diameter radio telescopes to study such phenomena as black holes and quasars billions of light-years from Earth. Stop by the visitor center to view exhibits about the VLA, and take a free, self-guided walk that leads you directly below an antenna (guided tours are given the first Saturday of each month).
Continue west to Datil (rhymes with cattle), the first of three tiny towns along this span of U.S. 60. Datil once marked the beginning of the so-called Beefsteak Trail, a legendary, 125-mile cattle-drive route. You've now entered Catron County, New Mexico's largest—about the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined, it has only some 3,700 residents. Datil is home to the only gas station between Magdalena and Quemado—it's attached to Eagle Guest Ranch, where you'll find a funky, wood-paneled steakhouse decked with Old West artwork, rifles, and wagon wheels, plus a small motel and RV park.
New Mexican as Apple Pie
Just after you cross the Continental Divide you'll reach Pie Town. Here in 1927, just a few months after the completion of the New Mexico stretch of U.S. 60—America's first named coast-to-coast auto highway—a small gas station opened, its proprietor began serving delicious pies, and a legend was born. Arrive with an appetite, so that you can sample lunch offerings followed by the fresh-baked pies at both of the town's esteemed eateries, Good Pie Cafe, known especially for the sweet-and-spicy New Mexico apple pie (with pine nuts and hot green chile), and Pie-O-Neer Pies, where each day's selection of pies might include anything from cherry to chocolate chess, with red chile and piñon nuts.
The last hamlet on U.S. 60 as you head west—unless you count Red Hill (pop. 0), a ghost town 10 miles from the Arizona state line—is Quemado, which means "burned" in Spanish. Many visitors stop in this village because it's the jumping-off point for sculptor Walter De Maria's Lightning Field, a world-renowned art installation comprising 400 vertical, stainless-steel rods that attract lightning. (To view it, you must book an overnight stay in the on-site 1930s cabin. Book far in advance; see diaart.org/sites/main/lightningfield. The 2013 viewing season at the Lightning Field ends October 31.)
If all that pie-tasting hasn't dampened your appetite, grab dinner at El Sarape, an endearing little café behind a rustic timber-frame façade that serves hearty, spicy, fresh New Mexican food (try the carne adovada enchiladas). It's a fine choice for breakfast, too.
Like the other towns along U.S. 60, Quemado looks—one imagines—much the same as it did during the Truman administration. It's a fitting end to a trip through rural western New Mexico, a part of the world that affords visitors a chance to step back, however briefly, in time.
The economical Largo Motel, completely rebuilt a few years ago, has 20 basic but comfortable rooms, plus a colorful, A-frame café serving stick-to-your-ribs American and Mexican fare.
If you're headed back toward Albuquerque from Quemado, consider returning by way of the starkly dramatic landscape of El Malpaís National Monument (N.M. 117, 505-876-2783; nps.gov/elma), which encompasses a 350,000-acre tract of ancient volcanoes, cinder cones, lava fields, and rocky bluffs. Take N.M. 36 N. 21 miles, then head N. on N.M.

If you're thinking about owning a ceramic cooker for your backyard barbecues, Primo is a brand that you need to check out. Primo, located in Tucker, Georgia, is a major manufacturer of top quality ceramic grills that are currently sold in more than 24 countries around the globe. These American made grills are all oval-shaped, a patented design that was discovered to be more versatile and efficient compared to the traditional kamado-style grills. The Primo brand set out to be "the best" and, according to the BBQ experts and grill masters, their oval-shaped grills are the few Kamado-style grills that are truly able to do 2-zone cooking.
If you're going ceramic and you want small, the Primo Oval Junior may be right up your alley. There are loads of things to love about it with just a few things that we don't like.
very versatile. You can cook various types of meat such as steaks, pork, chicken, fish, veggies, turkey, pizza, etc. With the Primo Oval Junior, you get a grill and a smoker in one.
solid construction, high quality ceramics, and scratch-resistant glaze all ensure that you'll be enjoying this grill for a long time.
reversible cooking grates that allow you to cook the food much closer to the charcoal when you flip the grates over.
grates can also be split for true 2-zone cooking: one level can be placed higher above the coals while the other one is placed nearer the coals. What this means is that you can cook using direct AND indirect heat at the same time.
while the size is certainly perfect for those who have a small backyard, however, it may be too small for those who love to cook for large parties. The primary cooking surface can only accommodate around 10 burgers at a time.
The Primo Oval Junior does cost a lot, especially for beginner backyard chefs. But the investment would be totally worth it if you want a grill and smoker combo for your BBQ needs.
If you find the Primo Oval Junior is to little for your BBQ needs, you might want to check out it's bigger, badder brother – the Primo Oval XL. This is a one-of-a-kind kamado style grill that is quite possibly the most versatile one in its class.
enormous grilling space (25″ x 18.5″) coupled with its unique shape ensures that you can lay out several racks of ribs and other BBQ with ease.
the versatility of the Primo Oval XL is also due to its reversible grates which allows you to cook closer or farther from the burning charcoal. You can also lower one side while the other side of the grate is remains the same because the grates are split down the middle. With the varying cooking temperatures within the grill, you can grill different kinds of foods at the same time.
a firebox divider so you can employ direct and indirect cooking methods at the same time.
Primo offers a wide range of accessories to increase your grill's versatility even more such as extended cooking racks for increased grilling surface.
Like any ceramic grill, it's hard to lower the heat whenever you overshoot your target temp simply because it holds the heat well.
The accessories (which you can do without but still….) will definitely up the cost of this grill, which is already very expensive.
If you're looking for a ceramic Kamado-style grill, there's nothing better than a Primo grill. You get a grill and a smoker all in one. Yes, it does cost more than just buying two grills but the results of your outdoor cooking efforts are going to be priceless.
If you're a bit like Goldilocks and you find that the Oval Junior is too small while the Oval XL is too large, you'll be glad to know that Primo offers something in the middle – the Oval LG 300. Like the other two Primo grills, the Primo LG 300 has the versatility, the heat, the solid construction, the true 2-zone cooking ability, the reversible cooking grates, etc. Same features and capabilities, different size. It's still the same superior ceramic Kamado-style grill that we know and love.
For those who aren't converts to the oval design, Primo also offers the traditional round Kamado-style grill. This 18.5" grill comes with a cradle stand, an ergonomic handle, a grid lifter, an ash tool, and side shelves. The cooking area is 280 square inches, almost the same as the Primo Oval LG 300. Basically, you get the complete grilling package; the only thing you'll be lacking is the charcoal and the meat. You can be sure that this grill is solidly constructed using only the best ceramics available. With all the additional features added, this is a bargain for any outdoor chef. The only downside to this package is the round shape of the grill. We've already established how versatile the oval-shaped grills are so going back to the traditional round shape is a bit disappointing. But if your backyard barbecues are more about steaks, burgers, chicken, and pizzas, then this is definitely a good choice. For those who love slow cooking ribs and briskets (which fit perfectly on an oval-shaped grill), this might not be the right grill for you.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (May 21, 2016) – Toyota Motor North America is joining forces with DEKA Research and Development, the company founded by legendary inventor Dean Kamen, to support mobility solutions for the disabled community. This agreement will help DEKA to proceed with plans to complete the development and launch the next generation iBOT motorized wheelchair.
The iBOT is a revolutionary motorized wheelchair with two sets of powered wheels that can be rotated to allow the user to "walk" up and down stairs. The wheelchair allows users to rise from a sitting level to approximately six feet in height and travel in this "standing" configuration, and is capable of traveling through a wide variety of terrain types.
Under the terms of the agreement, Toyota will license balancing technologies held by DEKA and its affiliate for medical rehabilitative therapy and potentially other purposes. The companies continue to engage in ongoing discussions about how Toyota can further support DEKA and its mobility assistance technology.
Toyota (NYSE:TM), creator of the Prius hybrid and the Mirai fuel cell vehicle, is committed to building vehicles for the way people live through our Toyota, Lexus and Scion brands. Over the past 50 years, we've built more than 30 million cars and trucks in North America, where we operate 14 manufacturing plants (10 in the U.S.) and directly employ more than 44,000 people (more than 34,000 in the U.S.). Our 1,800 North American dealerships (1,500 in the U.S.) sold more than 2.8 million cars and trucks (nearly 2.5 million in the U.S.) in 2015 – and about 80 percent of all Toyota vehicles sold over the past 20 years are still on the road today.
