November seems to be flying by with Thanksgiving around the corner. Between the loosing power for a week and the clocks going back an hour, all of a sudden its so dark.
Lots of overhead lighting is a necessary evil, as it tends to be less than flattering but effective when it comes to lighting up your home. While you can fill your living room with lamps and sconces or a pretty chandelier, you don't really want to cook in a space lit by just sconces or lots of lamps, same goes for primping in the bathroom.
When I moved in my apartment had flush mount lighting in both the kitchen and bathroom that were nice but rather sterile. I have always loved the tole ceiling lights from Charles Edwards wanted a similar look in my apartment, yet the price was a little off putting.
Tory Burch has a green and silver Charles Edwards pendant in her glossy green kitchen.
The Charles Edwards website has lots of options in many different color ways and if I ever took the plunge, I have my heart set on the 'Silk Tole Shade' in navy.
Most of these looks feature the pendant front and center above a kitchen island or dining table but they also look great anchoring a room, lined up in a long hallway or in a really chic dressing room.

Luckily I was able to work the look into both my bathroom and the kitchen by reusing shades I had made for an old pair of lamps. The shades I have are 20 inch white drum shades painted sky blue inside.
The bathroom above and the kitchen below.
I took them to my lighting guys and had them make two shade pendants. For the bathroom, I wanted to make sure it would be bright enough, so it's wired for higher wattage. Both pieces are finished off with glass ball finials.
So far so good as the light is super crisp. Its a great way to repurpose what you have to get what you want for a small amount of money. Bring on 4:30 in the afternoon sunsets!

Questions & AnswersExpand all Q & A Collapse all Q & A
You cannot increase your faith. Either you have it or you don't. The more you try to increase your faith, it will only be a struggle. It doesn't 'get increased'. So whenever you feel you have less faith that itself indicates you have faith.
And when you realize that, it means it is returned back. The doubt has ended.
In the Samaveda (an ancient Indian scripture), a hymn says. "I am building the bridge from not having faith to having the faith."
'I didn't have the faith', this idea comes when faith has started coming back, from lack of faith to faith. These two banks can't come together, they can't be one and the bridge is what you are.
When the prana (life energy) is high, then faith is more. When the prana is low, the faith is less.
By using your intellect a little more! Bring back the balance and see life from a broader perspective. Your emotions, either very pleasant or unpleasant are attached to the past. So when you see the world with a broader vision and don't get stuck with past events, people or experience, you will be strong. Getting emotionally upset over something somebody said is limited vision. There are millions of people, millions of things happening in the world.
In the Bhagwad Geeta, Lord Krishna shows Arjuna the Cosmic Vision and Time swallowing everything. First, Arjuna got scared, then all his fear vanished. There was nothing to hang on to. That's why Lord Krishna says, "I am here, don't worry, don't be afraid"
This way, all the emotional worries, and mess that one is in, one comes out of. Only meditation can give you wisdom and strength.
Well, you can have both! Money is not some currency kept in bank. It is the satisfaction that one has. If you feel you are rich, you are. I have seen people with bigger lakhs (millions) have lacks!
By being relaxed. Have an attitude where nothing matters - only then humor arises. When things matter a lot, then your mind is tensed, you are goal-oriented. There is a part of you to which nothing matters. You are a combination of the nothing matters to everything matters. Have both! If everything matter, then there is no humor. If nothing matters then too, there is no humor. Don't try to impress somebody. You will be fail miserably. When comedians try to make someone laugh - it appears unintelligent and foolish, childish humor. Those who are intelligent and mature, humor is natural to them.
Avtaar simply means descended. Guru means guide. The word, 'Guide' comes from the Sanskrit word meaning Guru. Giver and great also have their roots in Guru.
Why do you want to know the difference! How does it matter! You gave meaning to words, attach whatever meaning you want. A word can have different meanings in different languages. Also, there are different intentions and different connotations.
See the results!
Pity them. Have compassion and pity for them.
Just like me and you.
Yes, with complete honesty, intelligence, and yukti (tact). A businessman can lie as much as there is salt in food. If one lies too much, then one suffers in equal measure.
For instance, you may say that my product is the best in the world when you know it is not. That much is alright. That is why our ancestors in India kept businessman in the third division.
Saints do not have the right to lie. They cannot. The king or administrator has some right and so does the businessman.
No, every organization can spread spiritual values like Dharma (right conduct), Niti (principals), Niyam (rules), Karuna (compassion), Manaviyta (humanity). Spirituality is humanism, any organization that does not have humanity is not worth being called an organization. There is no need of money or people. For instance, a crowd does not eat, people in the crowd eat. Similarly spirituality is for each one.
If I say a thing makes me happy, then there is no bigger fool than me. It's like listening all night to Ramayana and asking if Sita was Ram's first cousin. No thing can make you happy. You are bliss personified, joy personified.
Do everything with happiness. Even if you want to slap someone, do it with joy not anger!
All this is a message. One who is awake gets a message from anything. One who is lost in jadta (gross), that person will not receive a message from anything. When you are awake, every leaf, every bird, every person is a messenger of God. This whole creation is a message. And if you are asleep, then even if amrit (Divine nectar) rains, it falls on deaf ears.
It is best to do jaap with bhav. Otherwise keep on doing it, the bhav will arise. Do it for sometime and not the whole day, just like we take a bath once or twice a day. We don't remain in water like fishes. When you feel tired, recite mantra, gain tranquility and energy.
Mantra means that which wins over the mind. Once you cross the bridge, you have to let go of it. Once you are happy, then let go of the mantra.

Marc Beauchamp: This is your future. Disappointed?
"We Were Promised Jetpacks" is the name of a Scottish indie rock band that recently came to my attention. It's a funny name and one that, for me, evokes visions of the future that were current in the Fifties and Sixties.

Yamaha Corporation of America
P.O. Box 6600
Buena Park, California 90622
Pianos made by: L. Bösendorfer Klavierfabrik GmbH, Vienna, Austria
Bösendorfer was founded in 1828 in Vienna, Austria, by Ignaz Bösendorfer. The young piano maker rose to fame when Franz Liszt endorsed his concert grand after being unable to destroy it in playing, as he had every other piano set before him. Ignaz died in 1858 and the company was taken over by his son, Ludwig. Under Ludwig's direction, the firm greatly prospered and the pianos became even more famous throughout Europe and the world. Ludwig, having no direct descendants, sold the firm to a friend, Carl Hutterstrasser, in 1909. Carl's sons, Wolfgang and Alexander, became partners in 1931. Bösendorfer was sold to Kimball International, a U.S. manufacturer of low- and medium-priced pianos, in 1966. In 2002 Kimball, having left the piano business, sold Bösendorfer to BAWAG Bank, Austria's third largest financial institution. The bank encountered financial troubles unrelated to Bösendorfer and sold the piano company to Yamaha in 2008. Yamaha says it will not be making any changes to Bösendorfer's location or methods of production, and that its sales network will continue to be separate from Yamaha's. Bösendorfer manufactures fewer than 500 pianos a year, with close to half of them sold in the U.S.
Bösendorfer makes a 52" upright and seven models of grand piano, from 5' 8" to the 9' 6" Imperial Concert Grand, one of the world's largest pianos. The company also makes slightly less expensive versions of four grand models known as the Conservatory Series (CS). Conservatory Series grands are like the regular grands except that the case receives a satin finish instead of a high polish, and some cabinet details are simpler. Previously, the CS models also had a satin-finished plate, and were loop-strung instead of single-strung, but in 2009, regarding these features, the specifications of the regular models were restored. All Bösendorfer grand pianos have three pedals, the middle pedal being a sostenuto.
One of the most distinctive features of the grands is that a couple of models have more than 88 keys. The 7' 4" model has 92 keys and the 9' 6" model has 97 keys. The lowest strings vibrate so slowly that it's actually possible to hear the individual beats of the vibration. Piano technicians say that it is next to impossible to tune these strings by ear, although electronic tuning aids can help accomplish this. Of course, these notes are rarely used, but their presence, and the presence of the extra-long bridge and larger soundboard to accommodate them, add extra power, resonance, and clarity to the lower regular notes of the piano. In order not to confuse pianists, who rely on the normal keyboard configuration for spatial orientation while playing, the keys for these extra notes are usually covered with a black ivorine material.
The rim of the Bösendorfer grand is built quite differently from that of all other grands. Instead of veneers bent around a form, the rim is made in solid sections that are then jointed together. It is also made of spruce instead of the usual maple or beech. Spruce is better at transmitting sound than reflecting it, and this, along with the scale design, may be why Bösendorfers tend to have a more delicate treble, and a bass that features the fundamental tone more than the higher harmonics. Although the stereotype that "Bösendorfers are better for Mozart than Rachmaninoff" may be an exaggeration (as evidenced by the number of performing artists who successfully use the piano in concert for a wide variety of music), the piano's not-so-"in-your-face" sound is certainly ideally suited for the classical repertoire, in addition to whatever else it can do. In recent years Bösendorfer has made some refinements to its designs to increase tonal projection. The relatively newer 6' 1", 7', and 9' 2" models have been designed specifically to appeal to pianists looking for a more familiar sound. In all models, however, the distinctive Bösendorfer difference is still readily apparent.
In the past few years, Bösendorfer has introduced a number of interesting instruments in new cabinet styles. These include a Porsche-designed modern piano in aluminum and polished ebony (or special-ordered in any standard Porsche finish color); the Liszt and Vienna models of Victorian-styled pianos; and a model, Yacht, in a decorative veneer finish with brass inlay that can be ordered without casters so that it can be bolted to the deck of a ship! Edge, a modern piano designed by a group of industrial designers, was the winner of a design competition. The model, Mozart, commemorates the 250th anniversary of the composer's birth, and is limited to 27 individually numbered instruments, one for each Mozart piano concerto. Its case includes subtle modifications, including gold-leaf trim, round legs and lyre posts, and a carved music desk. Perhaps not to be outdone by Porsche, in 2009 Bösendorfer produced a model commissioned and designed by Audi on the occasion of that automaker's 100th anniversary.

Dr. Ibrahim Abouleish founded the SEKEM GROUP in 1977 in Egypt in order to "establish a business model for the twenty first century in which commercial success is "integrated with and promotes the social and cultural development of society through economics of love." The organization's purpose is to promote sustainable development and social equity in the region through organic agriculture, research and development, education and health care. The Sekem Group initiative started in 1977 on about 70 hectares of desert sand in northeastern Cairo, at the time very much underdeveloped. Dr. Ibrahim Abouleish implemented bio-dynamic and organic farming methods to restore the vitality of the soil and establish a viable agricultural endeavor. Because many children worked to support their families, school attendance was low and illiteracy rates high. The Sekem Group formed to combat socio-economic problems like these, which many farmers in the region faced. In 1981, the company sent its first shipment of medicinal herbs and food ingredients to the United States. Today, it is made up of 180 farms spanning over an estimated 2,700 hectares all over Egypt from Aswan to Alexandria. Herbs and spices are produced on several farms, two of which are certified – Libra Cultivation (Fair Trade ID 2961) and Farmer Development Association (Fair Trade ID 2577). These two farms have experienced substantial growth over the years and farm workers have earned many social and economic benefits. The Sekem Group continuously works to raise their community's living standards. Their social programs, training workshops and a permanent staff of social workers work to provide many services to members and their families including health care, education and infrastructural improvement projects in addition to offering steady jobs and salaries. The company now benefits over 200 employees.

By Ethan Levine | @KernelLevine
As I walked to Commonwealth Stadium to cover the UK-Vanderbilt football game Saturday, I couldn't help but feel like I was walking into some strange horror movie a week removed from Halloween.
The intersection of Alumni and South Limestone was so quiet it didn't even require a crossing guard. The parking lots surrounding the stadium, normally packed full of tailgaters and eager fans, were vastly deserted for rows at a time. The expansive concourses throughout the stadium were nothing more than empty passage ways lined with bored concession stand workers.
Sitting in the press box and prepared for the start of the game, I curiously waited and wondered if fans would eventually arrive. By kickoff, a select few had, and at its best the student section never ran more than three rows deep.
Three hours later, as I walked down to the media room after the game, I reflected on what I had just seen, which was a 40-0 beat down at the hands of Vanderbilt in front of just over 19,000 fans. And I thought to myself, "so it's come to this? How did the Cats get, well, here?"
Entering the season, UK hadn't had a home game with fewer than 50,000 fans since 1999. In six home games in 2012, UK has drawn fewer than 50,000 four times, and the disgraceful attendance for the Vanderbilt game goes without saying.
The Commodores win was its largest over an SEC opponent in 64 years, and the largest over the Cats in 96 years. It seems that in its present state, a 1-9 team with a lame duck coach coming off a historically-bad loss, the UK football program is in its worst days in a generation.
Now, you must understand that I do not hail from the great Commonwealth of Kentucky. I was born and raised in Washington D.C., and have spent two of my four years as a student at UK covering the football team in a professional manner. So I have no emotional connection to the program whatsoever. I don't jump for joy when they win, I don't sulk when they lose. That being said, what happened on Saturday was an all-time low for the program. A depth so deep it warranted the firing of the head coach with two weeks remaining in the season.
But UK hasn't always been this bad. In fact, in recent years this program was at what some would call its highest point, having reached five consecutive bowl games, winning three of them. Rich Brooks had taken the team from SEC basement-dwellers to legitimate postseason contenders, and stars like Andre Woodson, Stevie Johnson and Randall Cobb began to give the program some notoriety.
During Phillips' first year on the job, a potent offense carried a lackluster defense to a 6-6 record, as Cobb earned first-team All-America honors. But, quarterback Mike Hartline was suspended for the team's bowl game for disciplinary reasons, and UK lost to Pitt 27-10. UK hasn't reached the postseason since.
Cobb left UK for the NFL, and graduating seniors Hartline, running back Derrick Locke and wide receiver Chris Matthews left the offensive cupboard barren for Phillips. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is when the tide would turn on the program.
Phillips was never able to replace Cobb, and UK's offense has never allowed it to compete in the SEC. Even in their historic win over Tennessee last season, the Cats played a wide receiver at quarterback and won the game 10-7. Despite a relatively-strong defense led by linebackers Danny Trevathan and Winston Guy, UK finished the year 5-7.
Things got worse for the offense in 2012 with early injuries to sophomore quarterback Maxwell Smith and running backs CoShik Williams and Josh Clemons. A UK team that averaged just 15.8 points per game in 2011 improved the average to just 16.4 in 2012, an embarrassing 121st in the nation.
Phillips, the team's former offensive coordinator, never seemed to find a way to score points upon Cobb's departure, and was never able to consistently win either. Am I saying 1-9 is on the loss of Randall Cobb? No, not entirely. Am I saying Phillips lost his job because he couldn't replace Cobb? No, Joker lost his job because he was 12-23 as head coach and 4-19 in SEC play.
But Cobb's departure did spark the program's downturn, and it will be up to Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart to find a new spark plug in the form of a head coach that won't depart after three years.

Redknapp has established Spurs as genuine challengers
Harry Redknapp may have had a bad few weeks off the pitch, however he can certainly have no complaints about how things have been going for him on it.
Recovered from heart surgery, his return to White Hart Lane last night was a triumphant one as Tottenham brushed aside Aston Villa to climb to third in the table.
After heavy losses in their opening games against both Manchester clubs and with the Luka Modric transfer hanging over them, many wrote Spurs off at the end of August.
However they are unbeaten in the league since then, winning eight of their nine games and scoring at least twice in every fixture.
Redknapp has established Spurs as genuine top four challengers, defying those who thought his side's appearance in the Champions League last season would not be repeated again any time soon.
Although he may have reacted angrily to being referred to as a 'wheeler dealer' in the transfer market, the Spurs manager has done little to diminish that reputation this season.
He spent only £5.5 million this summer on Scott Parker's proven midfield excellence as well as acquiring a reliable goalkeeper in Brad Friedel for free and the deadly striking capabilities of Emmanuel Adebayor on loan.
It is no coincidence that the arrival of Parker and Adebayor at White Hart Lane has been followed by their unbeaten run in the league and both have been hugely impressive.
In the meantime, the two traditional big clubs of London, Chelsea and Arsenal, have looked far from assured.
The Blues experienced back-to-back home defeats this weekend for the first time since 2003 and the Gunners' 8-2 thrashing by Man Utd in August was their biggest loss for 123 years.
However it is not just new signings that have made Spurs into the team that thumped Liverpool 4-0 and won a prized North London derby against Arsenal.
Gareth Bale has begun to rediscover some of the form that saw him pick up last year's PFA Player of the Year award and his goal-scoring performances in Spurs' successive victories over QPR and Fulham led to Alex McLeish playing two right-backs last night in an attempt to stifle the Welshman.
However such efforts were futile as the winger provided the assists for both of Adebayor's goals as well as teeing up an opportunity the striker missed to complete his hat trick.
Redknapp's success in hanging on to Modric has also been crucial and the Croatian performances so far this season have underlined just why Chelsea were so keen to get their hands on him and why his manager fought to keep him in North London.
Redknapp's bargain transfer deal of last season, Rafael Van der Vaart, has also been in terrific form including scoring six goals in five consecutive games, which has taken him to the summit of the club's top scorers chart.
The speedy English duo of Aaron Lennon and Kyle Walker have made key contributions to Spurs cause as well, with the latter earning an international debut last week as a reward for his fine displays.
With so many players in such good form it is perhaps no surprise that Tottenham find themselves in their current healthy position and while there is a long time to go in the season they can at the moment quite justifiably claim to be the best team in London.

Inside These Times reports that an apparent well known porn star named Jenna Jameson is calling for the creation of a union for porn stars. Her reasoning appears to be serious-to stop the spread of AIDS. One porn start was recently infected. The article reports that in 2004 a different porn star was infected and passed AIDS to 3 of his 14 partners.
Jameson's logic is that with a union, porn stars would more likely report unsafe sex practices to California OSHA which has apparently imposed mandatory rules prohibiting unprotected sex.
As readers know, I am a strong proponent of unions, but I cannot see how forming a multi-employer union will result in safer sex practices. Frankly, a lawsuit by infected porn stars against the employers for allowing this practice to continue would be more effective. If porn stars want to form a union to organize such a suit or to better their terms and conditions of employment, then unionization may be a good idea.
Only in California!
Mitchell H. Rubinstein
Like all other voluminous CBAs, work conditions would certainly be a part of the CBA. Moreover, with the wonders of collective bargaining, porn stars would, in theory, have greater bargaining power for higher wages, thus minimizing their exposure (double entendre intended). If there was ever a cohort of workers who could benefit from collective bargaining, it would be porn stars.

->''"Spain is a peaceful land of giant hats and luchadores (or maybe we're getting that confused)."''
-->-- ''Website/{{Cracked}}''
Fiction writers seem to not just confuse UsefulNotes/{{Mexico}} and UsefulNotes/{{Spain}}, but to fuse them into a strange amalgam of the most general stereotypes of both, much as {{Scotireland}} fuses Scotland and Ireland. Maybe it's because they share [[UsefulNotes/SpanishLanguage a language]] and [[ChristianityIsCatholic religion]], the fact that Mexico used to be a Spanish colony, they both have exotic foods and customs compared to an Anglo-Saxon culture[[note]]And compared to each other, as well.[[/note]], or simply that the author didn't check the facts ''and'' hasn't travelled much, either.
American writers (and particularly those in [[SoCalization California]]) also have the excuse that Mexico is literally over the border from the US while Spain is an ocean away, so the more familiar Mexican culture to them colours their perception of Spain. This approach, naturally, requires the writer to ignore that Mexican culture owes as much to the native cultures that existed there before the Spanish conquest as it does to Spain's (although Hollywood has never showed its strength when having to [[{{Mayincatec}} keep those apart either]]), that Mexico is more influenced by US culture than Spain is, and that the two countries are, simply put, [[CaptainObvious an ocean apart]] from each other and have been not under the same flag for more than two centuries now, meaning that they have had ample room to develop independently from each other - be it in law, politics, holidays, food, dress, music or language. Indeed, not only do they speak different dialects of Spanish in Spain and Mexico (the [[SeriousBusiness epic wars]] between supporters of Spaniard and Latin American dubs in {{YouTube}} are testament to that) but there are several different accents and dialects within each country that can be ''very'' different compared to each other.
In short, equating Spain and Mexico is like saying that the United Kingdom and the United States are basically the same.
In its usual form, this trope is represented by a group or town that is full of [[SouthOfTheBorder stereotypically Mexican]] or [[TorosYFlamenco Spanish]] people, set in a location or doing an activity better suited to the other. That is, when they aren't just made into a mish-mash. It could be a Spanish mariachi band at a wedding instead of a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuna_(music) tuna]] singing ''Clavelitos'', or a town of thick-mustachioed men in sombreros and ponchos dancing Flamenco. When SouthOfTheBorder and LatinLand are brought into the mix, it could even end with Spain being depicted as a hot, tropical jungle or desert full of revolutionary outlaws, sometimes fighting a BananaRepublic run by a Fascist dictator (which might have been technically true during Franco's dictatorship, except there are [[MisplacedVegetation no tropical jungles]] in Spain. But it's definitely false in anything set after 1978, and that being generous).
US productions are likely to misrepresent Spaniards more often than Mexicans, since Mexicans have many more demonstrable stereotypes in American pop-culture than Spaniards do, and they will likely have a much easier time casting Mexican actors (or from anywhere else in Latin America) than Spanish ones, accents and even [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Mexico#Ethnic_groups race]] be damned. In Japan, where both nations are equally exotic, the mix and mash is likelier to happen both ways.
See TorosYFlamenco and SouthOfTheBorder for HollywoodAtlas versions of Spain and Mexico, respectively. Contrast LatinLand for a similar fusion of different countries south of the United States in a process not that different of [=Spexico=], with only jungle or [[EverythingsBetterWithLlamas llamas]] added for flavor depending on the circumstances, and narcoterrorists if convenient.
Compare FarEast, AncientGrome, {{Scotireland}}, and {{Mayincatec}}. [=Spexico=] is not the only example of transatlantic fusion, however: a similar phenomenon occurs with depictions of Quebec in Hollywood movies as being full of Frenchmen with Parisian accents and mannerisms, and outside the Anglosphere some people can't see the difference between the UK and the USA either.
[[folder: Advertising ]]
* Verizon, as seen in [[http://contexts.org/socimages/2010/04/17/spain-mexico-whatever/ this sociologist's blog post]], has got a print ad out there with "Coverage in Spain" on it (just ignore the "and [[LiesDamnedLiesAndStatistics 25 more countries]] than the UN recognizes" part) with the Verizon guy in front of a crowd of stereotypical Mexicans.
[[folder: Anime And Manga ]]
* One episode of the GagDub from ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' has Romano calling Spain a "taco eater".
[[folder: Comics ]]
* ''The Further Adventures of IndianaJones'' issue ''The Fourth Nail'' loops the loop with its visit to ''Argenspexico''. Boleadoras?
[[folder: Film ]]
* Viggo Mortensen was cast as a swashbuckling hero in the Spanish FilmOfTheBook ''Literature/{{Alatriste}}''. This trope comes into play as he speaks fluent Spanish, but it's the Argentine accent (he lived in Argentina in his youth for several years), which is different from both European (Castillian) and Mexican Spanish. Mortensen does his best to hide it, but he still sounds like he's having difficulty articulating. Given that the character is rather laconic anyway, the filmmakers might have thought that this was an acceptable artistic choice.
* Many Spanish-speaking actors are cast as other nationalities within the Spanish-speaking world. This isn't particularly surprising given how often all actors play characters of different ethnic backgrounds than their own.
** Antonio Banderas is Spanish, but often plays Mexican characters, such as in his two ''Film/ElMariachi'' films. In the original English version and in the Mexican dub for ''Film/{{Shrek}}'' he gives Puss-in-Boots a thick Spaniard accent, whereas in the Spaniard dub he uses an Andalusian accent (which, funnily enough, is his ''mother'' accent--he's from Málaga).
** Penélope Cruz is Spanish, but has played Mexican and even Brazilian characters.
** Many aspiring Spanish actors worked as extras in [[SpaghettiWestern spaghetti westerns]] ([[CaliforniaDoubling shot in scenic Almería]], Southern Spain) playing Mexican characters. You can make a game of watching these movies and spotting the extras who would later gain recognition.
** Gael García Bernal, who is Mexican and has played so in ''Babel'', has played the Argentinian Che Guevara in two different movies. He also played a Spaniard in ''Film/BadEducation'', after convincing director Pedro Almodóvar that he could speak with a convincing Castilian accent.
** And reportedly back in the day when Spanish-language versions of movies were shot on the same Hollywood (literally) sets at night, whoever was available was cast totally without consideration of diverse accents--[=Spexico=] meets LatinLand.
* [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in ''Film/TheSpanishInn'' by Cedric Klapisch, a Spanish student takes offense at the way a visiting Brit caricatures her country, and mentions that saying "Caramba" is a Mexican, ''not'' a Spanish thing... [[AluminiumChristmasTrees Even though it actually is.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}}'', the four ancient Aztec generals are named Mono, Gato, Aguila, and Serpiente. Why would ancient Aztec people from 1000BC have names in Spanish? Not only did the Spanish language not exist 3000 years ago (for that matter, it's debatable whether ''Latin'' did) - the Spanish people did not colonize Mexico till after 1492 AD, and the Aztec Empire itself got started in 1323 ''CE''. So this is also an AnachronismStew.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}'', "Los Sapos Guapos" come from Spain. They feature elements from Cuba, Mexico, and Argentina in their songs (and possibly more countries). They do not stop at [=Spexico=]- they also throw in elements from Brazil and Italy! All while living in France.
* ''VantagePoint'' is set in Salamanca, Spain but was shot mostly in Puebla, Mexico and it shows. The actors that can do a Castilian accent do, a few extras are dubbed over, and others ([[spoiler: Creator/MatthewFox]] in particular) fail at it miserably. Mexican green beetle taxis, stop signs reading "ALTO" rather than "STOP", and humid-soaked buildings and tropical green mountains can be seen in the background, despite Salamanca being in the middle of a drier, colder [[TheMountainsOfIllinois plain]].
[[folder: Literature ]]
* Most astounding example in ''Creator/TomClancy 's Op-Center: Balance of Power'': It looks like the author's first intention was to draw a parallelism between the nationalities of the former Yugoslavia and Spain, but did not do the most basic research and confused "[[YouKeepUsingThatWord ethnicity]]" with ''race''. As a result his depiction of Spain is that of a society divided into racial castes with close resemblance to the traditional ones of Mexico and many other countries in Latin America (i.e. Whites on top, Mestizos in the middle, Indians and Blacks at the bottom), without realizing that said division is the result of an old colonial system that couldn't obviously exist in Spain since she was the original ''colonizer''. And that's only one of the [[CriticalResearchFailure thousands of errors]] in the book.
* ''[[Creator/HarryTurtledove The War That Came Early]]'' did the research when it had Chaim Weinberg remind himself that in Castilian dialect the letters C and Z are pronounced like 'th' rather than 's'[[note]]This is often called the "Castilian lisp", but it is not really a lisp since the S is still pronounced like one in Castilian[[/note]]. Sadly, it invalidated itself immediately by having Spanish characters using Mexican slang like ''mamacita'' or ''pendejo''.
* Creator/DanBrown's ''Literature/DigitalFortress'' portrays Seville, Spain as a Third World hellhole with rampant crime, poverty and corruption, where injured citizens have to struggle to get basic medical treatment at hospitals, and most people apparently don't have access to hot water. Brown apparently confused some of the more negative stereotypes about Mexico with Spain, which is a fairly prosperous Western European country with a GDP that isn't that far from the United States'. Spain has also had universal healthcare since 1986, and its healthcare system is considered one of the best in the world.
* In "Princess Mariana and Lixo Island", it is never specified where Mariana lives. Is she in Latin America, or the Iberian Peninsula? The location has access to the ocean (so it is not a landlocked country[[note]]which removes only Paraguay and Bolivia from the list of possibilities[[/note]]) and relatively warm weather- but the actual inhabitants, flora, and fauna could be part of both Iberian countries, as well as many Latin American countries.

* Take a band of Zapatistas. The more indigenous the better. Then drop them in [[TelevisionGeography the Rockies]], dress them with the clothes left over by the Sicilian scenes of ''Film/TheGodfather'' and make them live in wooden barracks with bananas in the porch. According to ''Series/MacGyver'', this is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjbbfK87JWc the Basque Country]].
* In ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' Maeby buys plane tickets to Portugal because she wants her parents to think she's going [[GlobalIgnorance to South America]]. Later, GOB discovers the tickets and, knowing that Michael is trying to learn Spanish, he concludes that Michael is fleeing to South America. In the new series on Netflix, George Micheal spends a year in "Spain" for study abroad, but from what we're shown it more closely resembles Mexico. He loses his virginity to and is implied to have [[{{NewChildLeftBehind}} impregnated]] his [[{{LatinLover}} hostess]], played by an American actress of Puerto Rican decent. All of the people he interacts with in "Spain" are played by [[{{LatinoIsBrown}} Latin Americans]].
* ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway''
** Lampshaded in a sketch where Neil Ashdown is supposed to be a bartender in Spain:
--> '''Neil:''' Would you care for some tortillas? ...No, wait, that's Mexico. Never mind. ...I've been around, you know.
** In another episode, during a game of Hollywood Director, the three actors play out a scene from ''{{Zorro}}'', which takes place in Mexico. None of their fake accents are even remotely alike, prompting Ryan to comment, "Funny how we all come from a different part of Spain!"
* Played straight by Blanche about her Cuban suitor in an episode of ''TheGoldenGirls'':
--> '''Blanche:''' The point is, [Fidel]'s rich, he's handsome and we were made for each other...even if I don't speak Mexican.
-->'''Dorothy:''' Spanish.
-->'''Blanche:''' WHATEVER!
* In the Season 5 ''Series/{{Angel}}'' episode "Unleashed," the episode's villain Crane says the following to his clientele (note that ''mole'' is a family of Mexican sauces):
--> '''Crane:''' When I dined on werewolf in Seville, the ''cocinera'' used an understated ''molé'' [sic] sauce to bring out the meat's tanginess.
* One episode of ''Series/MindOfMencia'' had a Spanish celebrity invoke this to get into a nightclub. ItMakesSenseInContext.
* The ''Series/{{Lost}}'' episode "Ab Aeterno"'s flashbacks are set in the Canary Islands, yet the accents and dialects used are all Latin American Spanish. Almost an AcceptableBreakFromReality, since Canary Spanish has an accent similar to that of some Latin American dialects.
* In the 8th season of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', Ted recalls a trip he made to Spain with a fanny pack. The montage shows Ted going through a map of the correct country (albeit with all the cities misplaced and many of them misspelled, one's spot even falls in Portugal even though it is coloured differently) and in typical TorosYFlamenco places. Then, at the end of the montage, a group of Mexican mariachi show up, and Ted proudly (but obliviously) points out that he was nicknamed by the locals ''El ganso con la riñonera'' ("[[BilingualBonus The doofus with the fanny pack]]"). So off, it has to be deliberate.
* A background news piece in ''Series/{{Intelligence 2014}}'' mentions a "Federal Police in Spain". Mexico has a federal police. Spain doesn't. The world of ''Intelligence'' is also apparent home to a CIA task force that plans selective killings of Basque separatists.
* In an episode of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'', [=DiNozzo=] claims that paella was named after an Aztec god. Doubles it by naming the god "Paellus", which sounds like [[GratuitousLatin the wrong kind of Latin.]]
[[folder: Music ]]
* The 1970s rock band Carmen, which was formed by Mexican-Americans in Los Angeles, invoke this trope through the use of flamenco stylings and Spanish imagery. Considering they were formed as an outgrowth of the Allen siblings parents flamenco nightclub its [[JustifiedTrope at least somewhat justified]]. Ironically, the band found no initial success at home and only became notable after relocating to Europe, adding a British bassist and drummer and cementing the Spanish influences. Then they became a near-legendary opening act for several British ProgressiveRock bands touring the US.
* Near the end of the video for D12's "My Band" (the lead single from their 2004 sophomore album "D12 World" and biggest hit to date), during the part where "lead singer" [[Music/Eminem Eminem]] does a joke teaser for his nonexistent song "My Salsa," we see Shady dressed in a matador's outfit and waving a cape while holding said salsa bottle. However, the rest of D12 are dressed in mariachi outfits and playing guitars.
[[folder: Other Sites ]]
* [[http://www.theonion.com/content/node/38654 Classic example]] from ''TheOnion'' that perfectly illustrates this trope.
[[folder: Real Life ]]
* There was considerable cross-fertilization between Spanish and Mexican culture, back when Mexico was "New Spain," and some practices they picked up from each other persist to this day. Both countries enjoy churros and hot chocolate, though their traditional recipes now differ, and bullfighting is still practized in both nations.
* The word "Hispanic" used to be common on survey forms, literally meaning "Of or relating to Spain or Spanish-speaking Latin America." Not that the word Latin is much better (it's actually ''worse'', as Latin is also applicable to Brazil, Portugal, Italy, France and the Francosphere, ''as well as Spain''). Ironically, Latin is now the more popular term. The word is also often misused in U.S. grocery stores. The aisles that were once labeled "Mexican Food" are now likely to be called "Hispanic Food"-- as if all Spanish speakers, all around the world, shared a single cuisine.
* The central Mexican city of Guanajuato (in the state of the same name) fits this trope. It is a very well preserved colonial town that closely resembles remote villages in Spain that have not changed much since the Middle Ages. At first glance, Guanajuato is practically indistinguishable from such villages apart from the fact that the population is of course Mexican rather than Spanish. Playing on the town's colonial heritage are bands whose members dress like sixteenth century Spanish noblemen but play traditional Mexican songs of various genres. Furthermore, you can eat tacos or enchiladas and drink micheladas in little inns that seem to have come right from a TorosYFlamenco town (none of which serve Spanish food, by the way).
* A case of TheCoconutEffect: Selling Mexican sombreros has become a lucrative business in Barcelona and beach resorts in eastern Spain because of the increasing demand from tourists. That's because that while Mexican sombreros ''did'' descend from the original hats worn in Andalucia, they generally don't resemble their ancestors[[note]]Most popular of which would've been the hat that {{Zorro}} wore[[/note]] anymore, but are by far the most popular variant.
* John [=McCain=] starred a quite strange moment during an [[http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/18/mccains-position-on-spain/?scp=1&sq=mccain%20zapatero%20radio%20caracol&st=cse interview]] with a Spanish-speaking radio of Miami. When asked if he would receive Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero in the White House (Spain's Prime Minister at odds with the Bush administration because of his opposition to the war in Iraq), [=McCain=] answered that he had "a clear record of working with leaders in '''the''' hemisphere that are friends with us and standing up to those who are not (...) [a]nd that's judged on the basis of the importance of our relationship with '''Latin America and the entire region'''". Even after the interviewer made clear that she was talking about "Spain, in Europe" and pressed for a more clear response, [=McCain=] continued in his vague remarks and then praised the Mexican government of Felipe Calderon. Critics accused [=McCain=] being unfamiliar with the differences between Spain and Latin America.
** Jeb Bush thanked the "President of the Republic of Spain" for his support during a visit in 2003. Spain is a constitutional monarchy, and although its head of government's title in Spanish (which Jeb Bush speaks very well) is ''Presidente del Gobierno'' ("President of the Government"), he is invariably called "Prime Minister" in English.[[note]]This may seem weird, but it has a reason: the original name of the title was "President of the Council of Ministers", which is esentially, the same as "Prime Minister", but the shortened form "President" stuck.[[/note]]
* Spanish-born filmmaker [[Creator/LuisBunuel Luis Buñuel]] acquired Mexican citizenship after the UsefulNotes/SpanishCivilWar forced him into exile and made films in both Spain and Mexico (and later on, France) at various points in his career.
* Reportedly, the FamousLastWords of Spanish writer [[http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valle_Inclan Ramón del Valle-Inclán]] (who had lived for nearly 30 years in Mexico) were that Spain wasn't Spain anymore, and that to get a real Spanish feeling you had to cross the Atlantic.
* In Paris, there are quite a few 'Tex-Mex' restaurants that serve Spanish food. Particularly cringeworthy because the French are, in language and original ethnic rootstock, closely related to the Spanish.
* On a train from Barcelona to Zaragoza[[note]]Or travelling across Spain's central plateau, for the case[[/note]], you might be surprised to see how much the landscape of the Spanish countryside looks like classic depictions of southwestern North America (almost like a [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner Road Runner]] cartoon). It is for this reason--as well as the high availability of dark-skinned, Spanish-speaking actors, that Creator/SergioLeone and other Italian directors of "{{Spaghetti Western}}s" tended to shoot their films in Spain, particularly in Andalucia, since getting to the actual Mexico or United States was simply too expensive.
* Creator/GuillermoDelToro is Mexican but has made a number of films set in or around the UsefulNotes/SpanishCivilWar. He credits his interest in the conflict to growing up in around Spaniards who took refuge in Mexico during UsefulNotes/TheFrancoRegime.
[[folder: Tabletop Games ]]
* Castille in ''[[SeventhSea 7th Sea]]'', with fencers, powerful Inquisition, pirates and Armadas... and inexplicably, Ranchos and El Vago, {{Zorro}}'s {{Expy}}.
* [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Argos, game's setting {{Expy}} for Spain, in ''[[AnimaBeyondFantasy Anima: Beyond Fantasy]]''[[note]][[JustifiedTrope justified]], since the game is Spanish[[/note]]
[[folder: Video Games ]]
* The Ganados in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' speak with Mexican accents, despite the game being set "in a village [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield in a Castilian speaking country of Europe]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial that is not Spain]]". Character Luis Sera, who was born in the village but made career as a cop in Madrid, also speaks with a Mexican accent. Of note is that an ingame map places the village in the center of the Iberian Peninsula next to Madrid, and the currency is Peseta, which was Spain's currency before switching to Euro. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Capcom insists that it is not Spain]].
* Esteban Noviembre from ''The Cursed Crusade'' speaks in a blatantly stereotypical Mexican manner despite being a Spaniard. In the '''Middle Ages'''.
* In ''{{Freelancer}}'', the Corsairs and the Outcasts, [[spoiler:descendants from passengers of the sabotaged spaceship ''Hispania'',]] were probably modeled after Spain and Latin America.
* Spain Hill is a location in ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' whose only feature is... a Mexican restaurant. Note that "Spain Hill" is a ''real life location'' in Shibuya, Tokyo, in which the game is set. In reality the very Spanish embassy in Japan is located in that hill, hence the name.
* Black Velvetopia in ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' combines bullfighting and Spanish architecture with Mexican luchadores and painters dressed in SouthOfTheBorder-style outfits. It's mildly justified in that it takes place in the mind of an ambiguously Latino asylum patient who [[spoiler: was never involved in bullfighting or masked Mexican wrestling to begin with, and probably hasn't ever been to Spain.]]
* An [[http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/bdac8b3021688b6b914864ff1ebd86c31345047149_full.jpg alternate outfit]] of Miguel's from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' Tag Tag Tournament 2 is a good example of this trope. Miguel is from Spain, and while his puffy white shirt does seem Spanish, the rest of his outfit seems very much Mexican-inspired, rather than Spanish-inspired.
[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* In the episode ''The Bull Market'' of the ''AceVentura: [[RecycledTheSeries Pet Detective]]'' series, Ace discovers that a stolen bull has been shipped to Spain. Of course, because there is only [[SmallReferencePools one city]] in Spain, he immediately goes to Pamplona, [[ItsAlwaysMardiGrasInNewOrleans that happens to be in the middle of the Running of the Bulls]]. Except it's only the bulls who are running because the "Spaniards" are sleeping the siesta inside their ponchos and sombreros in the middle of the street. Ahem.
* ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters''' episode "[[OurGhostsAreDifferent The Ghost of]] Literature/DonQuixote" has a milder example with Spaniards constantly using Mexican slang and a villain who is a walking robber baron stereotype down to the Cantinflas moustache. Also, every Spanish character but Don Quixote has orange skin for some reason.
* In the 1930's ClassicDisneyShort ''WesternAnimation/FerdinandTheBull'', the narrator tells us the story is set in "sunny Spain." However, many of the Spaniards look like stereotypical Mexicans, with sombreros, brown skin, thick black mustaches, etc.
* ''GeneratorRex''. While fighting four highly skilled assassins in an alley, Rex crosses with Dos, who speaks Spanish. Rex (who is Hispanic) asks him in Spanish if he's from Mexico. Dos raises his weapon and angrily declares "¡España!"
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', more specifically, SpeedyGonzales. The town where Speedy lives is the clearest example of [=Spexico=] you'd ever find. Complete with flamenco, bulls, tacos and ''zarapes''.
* Creator/DreamWorks' ''WesternAnimation/PussInBoots''. In ''Shrek 2'', the setting is against a take on Arthurian England, so viewers assumed Puss was Spanish. In this prequel, it shows he came from somewhat of an amalgam of Spain and Mexico.
** Which all actually makes sense, since Puss is played by Antonio Banderas and generally spoofs Zorro. Spain itself ''is'' directly mentioned at one time, though.
* Subverted in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' when the Enforcers go to Pamplona, and can't remember what the town is famous for. Hak Foo suggests that it's famous for its paella, and Ratso asks if that's the thing you hit with clubs at a birthday party to get candy. Valmont points out that it's a ''piñata'', and that they're in Spain, not in Mexico.

My Wonderful Doctor Eased My AnxietyDevan McGuinness
You guys, in case I haven't said it before, I will say it now—I love my doctor. I went and saw my doctor today for a follow-up appointment and I was able to address questions that I have about baby's growth and some other concerns.
If you didn't read my past few posts, you may want to catch up on what's been going on with my kidneys and my urologist and the ultrasound I had last week. It was, and still is, a challenging pregnancy so far, but going forward we have a wonderful plan of action and it's all better thanks to my understanding, caring OB and his staff.
I chatted with him about the ultrasound appointment last week and the experience with the technician. We talked about the baby's size, my weight gain (more like weight loss) and how much I should expect to gain this pregnancy. He assured me that as long as I am staying hydrated, the baby will be fine and take what she or he needs from my body. Since I started off this pregnancy being quite healthy, with great vitamin and mineral levels, we should both be just fine even if I don't end up gaining anything by the end of this. That took so much anxiety off of me, since keeping food down seems to be giving me trouble even now that I am 19+ weeks pregnant.
I have a follow-up ultrasound next week to see if we can get the anatomy scan done. We know the baby's gender now, but want to confirm when she or he is a little bigger next week. Both my husband and I are now feeling better about all that's going on. I'm not as worried about the baby's size (my doctor said I may just have a small baby this time), my kidney issues are being well-taken care of, and no worries about my belly being smaller than I remember it ever being at this stage while I was pregnant with my other kids. (I am still able to comfortably wear my non-maternity pants.)
I love my OB and the caring way he looks after me. It really can make or break a pregnancy and he certainly makes it all so much easier for me.

I produce a bunch of objects in Java. Each object has attribute area and a set of integers. I want to store those objects for example in a map(keys should be integers in a growing order). Two objects are the same if their area is equal and their sets are the same.
If two objects don't have the same area then there is no need for me to check whether their sets are the same.
What is the best practice for implementing this in Java? How should I compose hash and equal functions?

The Stamp of RepublicanismElizabeth Gertsakis, feature
When a nation puts out a stamp design it reveals a great deal about its official ideology. The designs which appear on stamps of countries which achieve independence and become republics follow a curious pattern. From France through Tsarist Russia to Libya.... what will Australia put on its Republican stamp [if and when it becomes a Republic]?

ONe stop from the top. One way to go one lane to stay. Which path will you take. they say choices make up the day. Believe the voices calling you home. The place were you had fallen from.But where youve been will never make who you are. Incents fill the air. Light bright the way to heaven. The stars call out your name again. Saying you sound so positive with your destination. From their vantage they tell you of the ruts ahead so you won't tripp and dive in them. Everyone hears you so positively negative. Somehow again you made a hill into a mountain. But never again. Will you stay at the bottom. One stop from the top. One rock to walk over. One way to go. One path to stay. But every road you take is at stake. One of them is the right route home. Which will you choose. If you see the end results. It can be hard but its a learnt art. Just remember to end you have to start at the beginning. Hope we'll meet you in the middle.
