Museum Celebrates New Mexico History
12.12.11 (LAS CRUCES) -- As we prepare to celebrate New Mexico's Centennial, the Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum in Las Cruces unveils a new exhibit showcasing the state's rich history.
There are a lot of things curator Cameron Saffell wants visitors to learn about the Land of Enchantment.
This exhibit is a large part, a commemoration, a little bit of a thinking exhibit, thinking about the long journey it took for New Mexico to become a state and then seeing what New Mexico has done in its first hundred years, he said.
New Mexico's Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum is celebrating New Mexico's statehood with the largest collection of memorabilia from the past.
New Mexico is a historical land of extreme diversity, not just in the last one hundred years but going back to the early American Indians of the Southwest. There's a very large extensive documented history here, the history of New Mexico with the Europeans goes back to James town on the east coast so there's a lot here, he said.
There are close to one hundred license plates on display, at least one plate for every year New Mexico produced one, a 10-foot hand made banner celebrating the first fifty years and the 100th anniversary poster, painted by artist Ronald Kil. There's also posters of the films shot on location through out New Mexico.
Filmmaking in New Mexico goes back quite a long ways. One of the earliest moving picture films like Thomas Edison was actually an Indian Pueblo School in Northern New Mexico and there have been making films for over a hundred years, he said.
There's also a tribute to President William Howard Taft who signed New Mexico into statehood. He had some questions on how state constitution were set up for both New Mexico and Arizona, but once he had those issues resolved in his mind, he was very comfortable making both of them states, he said.
The Centennial of New Mexico statehood exhibit at the Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum runs through September 2012.

ThyssenKrupp Hydro Elevator - O'Donnell Hall NMSU
[Filmed on April 12, 2013 in 1080p60.]
This video is the last video filmed on the weekend of April 12, 2013. I forgot about this video because I had to cut out around 1 minute of wait time.
This elevator looks pretty new; I'd say it was installed in 2012. It has two doors because it serves both the basement and the upper floors. The whole building was probably remodeled in 2012 as well. Another odd thing, there is a Subway restaurant in the basement.
New ThyssenKrupp Passenger Elevator @ Center for the Arts Building (NMSU)
[Filmed on March 2, 2013 in 1080p60.]
This is the brand new ThyssenKrupp hydraulic elevator inside the new NMSU Center for the Arts building in Las Cruces. The building opened in late February 2013; I suppose this elevator was installed in late 2012. This elevator takes FOREVER to level. I almost thought I had gotten stuck. I am pretty disappointed that this elevator is a hydro; I thought they would install a MRL Synergy.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

ThyssenDover Hydro Elevator - Skeen Hall NMSU

Dedicated to cubsrule2040.
Yet another Dover (ThyssenDover) installed in 1999/2000.
Yes, I found yet another Dover/ThyssenDover elevator at NMSU. These elevators seem to be everywhere. The building is pretty tall. As seen in the video, there is a spiral staircase in the building.
Not much else to say about this boring elevator. The building looks pretty nice.
