  17. May 5 is not a day to commemorate Mexican Independence Day, as is commonly believed. Rather, September 16 is the celebration marking Mexican independence, while May 5 commemorates another battle entirely: a victory by a ragtag Mexican army over a formidable French invasion. To understand the significance of Cinco de Mayo, it's important to look at the events leading up to this infamous battle. First of all, the French had occupied Mexico after the Mexican-American war of 1846-48, so the French Emperor already figured he wanted Mexico for his own. Because of the Mexican-American war, plus various civil wars within Mexico itself, the country was in a financial crisis. President Benito Juarez issued a moratorium to suspend all foreign debt payments for two years. Well, England, France and Spain refused to accept this, and instead decided to invade Mexico in order to get what was owed to them. England and Spain eventually withdrew from Mexico after reaching financial deals, but France refused to leave, instead using the military campaign to try and install a French emperor in Mexico. On May 5, 1862 a large French battalion marched on the town of Puebla, expecting little to no resistance. However, under the direction of Texas-born General Zaragosa (he was born there when Texas was still part of Mexico), a smaller group of 5,000 Mestizo and Zapotec Indians lay in wait for the enemy troops. Utilizing Zaragosa's guerrilla tactics and a well-trained cavalry, the French troops were soundly defeated, and the "Batalla de Puebla" (as it was originally called) became a symbol of unity and Mexican patriotism. While the battle was won at Puebla, the French did return with a larger army and conquered Mexico in 1863, occupying the country until 1867. But this did nothing to diminish the significance of Cinco de Mayo. Today, the holiday is celebrated more widely in the United States than Mexico (especially in the southwestern U.S.), with parades, dancing, mariachi bands and traditional Mexican foods.
  18. Thanks. I got rid of mine about 2 yrs ago. However, I have never gone back for the re-exam.. No reason, just didn't make a follow-up appt.
  19. Y yes it is: Yes, the letter Y is a vowel or a consonant! In terms of sound, a vowel is 'a speech sound which is produced by comparatively open configuration of the vocal tract, with vibration of the vocal cords but without audible friction...', while a consonant is 'a basic speech sound in which the breath is at least partly obstructed' (definitions from the New Oxford Dictionary of English, 1998) Maybe that why the article is dumb facts?

  21. Tamales come in all shapes, sizes, and ingredients, whether wrapped in corn husks, banana or avocado leaves; filled with red and green chiles, pork, beef, cheese or vegetables; steamed, grilled, oven-roasted, fire-roasted, toasted, fried, or boiled warm. Traditionally eaten during holidays or festivals, the history of the tamal is rooted in the rich culture of Latin America. Tamales date back to Pre-Columbian history, circa 5000 B.C. During this period, the warring Aztec, Mayan, and Inca tribes would bring women to the battlefield in order to prepare meals for the warriors. Since food preparation was time consuming, the women needed a food source that was filling, long lasting, and mobile. They invented the tamal because, despite its intensive preparation time, the women could plan out the necessary amount of food needed before leaving for battle. Historians are uncertain which tribe first began making tamales, but the idea spread quickly and soon all the tribes had tamales as a part of their food staple. The wide distribution of the tamal dish accounts for the variety of tamales found today, for each recipe tends to have its own regional, cultural, and personal individuality. The distribution also led to new innovations in tamal-making. For example, around 1200-1500 B.C., nixtamalization, which was the processing of field corn and wood ashes to make the corn easier to grind and more digestible, became a popular method of making masa (corn dough). After the wars, the next historical record of tamales is from the Aztec civilization, who called the dish tamalli. Before the first arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors, the tamal had a religious connotation; tamales were a form of communion with the gods. During ceremonies, priests would offer tamales to the heavens. For festivals, idols made of tamales were placed on poles as a gift to the gods. Later, a man would climb the pole and throw the tamales down to the crowd. Once the Spanish arrived, however, the tamal became a traditional dish eaten at Christmas and Easter. Today, tamales continue to have a significant meaning in Latino culture. Despite the fact that one can buy prepackaged corn husks soaked in water and masa, many cooks prefer to make their tamales from scratch. Because of this, women still spend days bonding together as they prepare loads upon loads of tamales for a special occasion or important event.
  22. I really don't have an opinion of them myself, I see them like anyone else, however there have been 1 or 2 that have been put up after I have drove by the day/night fatal accident occured at. Here's an artcle I found: (unknown how old this is) Over the years, Al's Morning Meeting has come back to this topic a few times, but the issue just keeps growing. Relatives and loved ones of people killed in traffic crashes insist on building roadside memorials. Some states are reluctant to discourage them, while others are much more aggressive about clearing right-of-ways of clutter and distractions. In the last five years, The New York Times said, the number of states regulating roadside shrines has doubled -- and now nearly half of all states have roadside memorial laws on the books. The New York Times reported: Some, like Montana and California, allow the memorials, but only if alcohol was a factor in the crash. Others, like Wisconsin and New Jersey, limit how long the memorials can remain in place. Now, in a move that is being watched by other states, Delaware is taking a different approach, establishing a memorial park near a highway exit in hopes of discouraging the roadside shrines. The park will include a reflection pool and a mosaic of red bricks -- provided free to the loved ones of highway accident victims -- with inscriptions honoring the dead. Just 20 years ago, such intervention by states was unheard of, said Arthur Jipson, who has studied laws governing the memorials and is director of the criminal justice studies program at the University of Dayton in Ohio. Now, Jipson said, 22 states have such legislation, and the number has more than doubled in the past five years. The efforts, however, have forced local officials into a delicate balancing act. "Governments are reluctant to tell people what to feel or how to mourn," Jipson said. "At the same time, it's their job to keep these spaces public." The popularity of the memorials has spawned a cottage industry on the Internet with Web sites like roadsidememorials.com, selling mail-order crosses to families that do not want to construct their own. Roadside Memorials warns customers that it "will not be responsible for any accidents or injuries due to the placement of your cross." For some, the markers are poignant reminders to drive slowly and a small price to pay to help ease the anguish of loss. But to others, they are macabre eyesores and dangerous distractions that invite rubbernecking and visitors to already hazardous roads. Highway officials also say that the memorials frequently get in the way of road crews cutting grass or clearing snow. Other critics challenge their legality. "For us, the memorials raise serious church-state constitutional concerns because they usually feature religious symbols and are placed on state property," said Robert Tiernan, a lawyer with the Freedom From Religion Foundation in Madison, Wisconsin, who successfully defended a Denver man who was arrested in 2001 after removing a religious roadside memorial.
  23. I only know of one gas station, that they told me that the pumps are slow for the first few customers when they open in the mornings.
