[[caption-width-right:348:"I put a spell on you, and now you're mine!"]]
A 1993 [[HalloweenSpecial Halloween-themed]] Creator/{{Disney}} film for [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids "kids"]]. This was the second film directed by Kenny Ortega, previously known for ''Film/{{Newsies}}'' (1993). Now considered [[CultClassic a cult favorite]], the film's rather campy, but pretty entertaining. It does, after all, contain a memorable rendition of "I Put A Spell On You" by Creator/BetteMidler. The song "Come Little Children" from this film went on to become a Halloween classic.
The film opens in the year 1693. Thackery Binx (role shared by Sean Murray and Creator/JasonMarsden), a teenager living in Salem, Massachusetts, discovers his little sister Emily (Amanda Shepherd) has gone missing. Emily has been lured away to the farm of the Sanderson sisters, a trio of witches--consisting of older sister/leader Winifred "Winnie" (Creator/BetteMidler), middle child/tracker Mary (Kathy Najimy) and little sister/siren-like predator Sarah (Creator/SarahJessicaParker) -- who suck the life-forces of little children to prolong their lives; such is the fate suffered by Emily. Thackery attempts to save her, but the sisters transform him into an immortal black cat. The sisters are soon after captured by the townspeople and hanged. Before her death, Winnie pronounces her death-curse, that "on AllHallowsEve, when the moon is round, a virgin will summon us from under the ground."
The scene shifts to 1993. The Dennisons are a California family who have just moved to Salem, bringing along teenaged son Max (Omri Katz) and 8-year-old daughter Dani (Creator/ThoraBirch). Max is a virgin. Halloween night, Max takes his sister trick-or-treating and gets to hang with new {{love interest|s}} Allison (Vinessa Shaw). Allison tells him of the legend of the Sanderson sisters and of a supposed way to revive them; Max laughs and tries it out, bringing the Sandersons back to life. Now the three kids and the immortal cat Binx have to face the witches throughout the night, with the lives of every kid in Salem at risk.
Midler claimed in a 2014 interview that she, Parker, ''and'' Najimy would be interested in playing the roles again if the producers asked. In 2015, [[https://www.facebook.com/BetteMidler/posts/977316588994476?comment_id=977316902327778&reply_comment_id=977347498991385&total_comments=77&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D she confirmed it was not going to happen.]]
In 2015, [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks The Magic Kingdom]] launched a ''Hocus Pocus'' themed musical revue as part of ''Mickey's Not-So Scary Halloween Party'': The ''Theatre/HocusPocusVillainSpelltacular''. In it, the Sanderson Sisters use the magic of the Magic Kingdom to return from the grave to throw a wild All Hallow's Eve bash. While the sisters are LighterAndSofter than their film counterparts by necessity (having infanticidal witches at a Disney Theme Park [[NightmareFuel wouldn't exactly be 'not-so scary']]), the show is a loving tribute to the film, complete with a show stopping rendition of "I Put A Spell On You" as the finale.
[[IThoughtItMeant While a 1994 side-scrolling platformer]] [[SimilarlyNamedWorks by the same name]] [[IThoughtItMeant also exists, they don't have any connection to each other]]. Also unrelated is Creator/KurtVonnegut's 1991 novel of the same name.
!!This film provides examples of:
* FiveFiveFive: Max gives Allison his number at school. The paper only has this on it.
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Max, Dani and Allison have to flee the witches and zombie Billy Butcherson by following Thackery into the sewers, which are filled with spiders and rats, [[ReducedToRatburgers which is what Thackery eats as a cat]]! Very {{squick}}y to the trio.
* AccidentalMisnaming: In one scene Max introduces himself to the two bullies, Jay and "Ice", and says he's from Los Angeles. They start calling him "Hollywood" from then on.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: During Max's run-in with the bullies, when Max doesn't have any cash or cigarettes to give them, "Ice" mockingly asks what he's supposed to do with his afternoon. Max suggests that he learn to breathe through his nose, and Jay starts laughing until "Ice" glares at him.
* AdultsAreUseless:
** ZigZagged in the ColdOpen. While the angry mob is too late to save Emily and Thackery, they do manage to catch and hang the witches. For some reason they don't think to bury the candle that would bring the witches back, and instead their descendants use it as a tourist attraction.
** The children tried to get help from their parents and the rest of the party-goers. They don't believe them and think it's some kind of Halloween prank.[[note]]In their defense, the parents ''quickly'' catch on that something is in fact quite wrong and that their kids are serious... but the witches manage to cotton on to how Halloween works in the modern day and play it off as a joke introduction for a song-and-dance number.[[/note]]
** They also tried for help from the man they thought was a police officer. (He was only in costume.)
* AdultFear:
** In Salem, Thackery wakes up when he hears a strange noise. He's about to settle back into bed when [[OhCrap he realizes his sister Emily is missing]]. He runs outside in his bedclothes, calling for her and asking his neighbor where Emily may be.
** Magic aside, Mr. Binx loses two children in one night. He's lucky to find the body of one of them, which allows him to avenge her murder, but he can't find his son.
** Thanks to the witches later cursing the parents, dozens of children are left alone at night.
* AllHallowsEve: The Black Flame Candle only works on this day, and once lit, will not last beyond this day.
* AllPartOfTheShow: What the adult party-goers think of the Sandersons taking over the stage and singing a song to them, to the point they indulge in audience participation and sing too, thus ''[[RefugeInAudacity unknowingly enchanting themselves]]''.
* AllThereInTheManual: The screenplay has some enlightening dialog that sheds a bit of light of certain things:
** Winnie's spellbook belongs to (or once belonged) to Satan, and it is valued to the sisters because the information within it can change to be whatever they want whenever they want, making it the ultimate endless evil weapon of ever changing spells.
** If a witch touches salt, it burns her skin. This is why a circle of salt protects against their magic.
** While the sisters look human, their bodies are essentially their souls being contained in a body made of candle wax.
** If the witches consume enough children, they'll be immortal.
** Thackery is not exactly "immortal". While Winnie taunts him that he will live forever, he actually has only 9 million lives and will die when he uses them up. At one point, he says that he has used up 321 of them but there "are only so many ways to go."
* AllWitchesHaveCats: Inverted. The witch sisters transform Binx into a black cat ForTheEvulz. By the time of the main narrative, he's their sworn enemy. As mentioned in Animal Motifs below, Mary's more like a dog.
* AltoVillainess: Winnie, with the voice of Bette Midler backing her up.
* AluminumChristmasTrees:
** The Sanderson sisters are hanged, not burned, which is much more historically accurate to the fate of most of the Salem witches.
** A more subtle example occurs in the song, "Come, Little Children". While "thee" is most often treated as singular, it's also the correct pronunciation of the plural form "Þe", which modern typography renders as "ye". Said plural form ''was'' in use in 1693, though rapidly falling out of fashion.
* AlwaysWithYou: [[spoiler: A freed Thackery tells this to Dani just as he and Emily are about to head to Heaven.]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Whereas Winnie is evil and scheming, Sarah and Mary are basically dumb and more or less harmless -- until Sarah's NotSoHarmless moment. If Winnie wasn't around they probably wouldn't even be villains.
* AndIMustScream:
** God help any child who happens to hear Sarah's singing; they're forced to march to the witches' cottage, to drink a potion that makes their life force vulnerable, and die within seconds. Emily's blank expression before she dies is utter NightmareFuel.
** [[spoiler: Ironically, This would have been Winnie's fate at the end, had she succeeded in draining Max's life force, having violated hallowed ground.]]
* AnimalMotifs: The animal itself is never mentioned, but Mary's appears to be a dog, what with her tendency to bark, her power to smell children, and the way she's always at Winifred's side.
* BadassNormal: The kids fight against witches and zombies without any kind of special power of their own.
* BerserkButton: The minute someone calls Winifred "ugly" she starts handing out the DisproportionateRetribution.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Sarah skips along in a daze "prattling idiotically" in the words of her elder sister, but her voice can lead children to their death.
* BigBad: Winifred Sanderson is the clear leader among the sisters.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Thackery Binx and Max are both deeply protective of their little sisters, and Binx projects a lot of his feelings about Emily onto Dani.
* BigEater: Mary Sanderson is clearly implied to be this with ''children''. How else do you think she got so much bigger than her sisters?
* BigNo: Dani screams this when [[spoiler:Max drinks the witch's potion so that the trio will take his life and not hers]].
* BlackMagic: Mind Control, life-stealing, turning people into cats... Lots of nasty, dark stuff here.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The three witches; Sarah is blonde, Mary has dark hair, and Winnie is a redhead.
* BrainlessBeauty: Sarah, the youngest and most attractive of the witch sisters is none too bright. She'd rather "prance around idiotically" as Winfred would put it.
* BrattyHalfPint: Dani keeps mocking her brother for being a virgin. It's possible she just doesn't know what it means but she does still keep saying it to get a rise out of him. She also mocks her brother's attraction to Allison and to Allison's "yabbos" in particular.
%%* BrattyTeenageSon: Max is this in the beginning, but he gets over it.
* BrickJoke: At the beginning of the movie, the two bullies steal Max's sneakers from him; at the climax, when they plead with him to help them, he refuses, but takes the opportunity to take the sneakers back.
* BullyingADragon: The three witches were about to go easy on the two bullies and leave... Until they [[BerserkButton called them ugly.]]
* BurnTheWitch:
** Averted in a Disney film! The witches are hanged, just like the real "witches" of Salem. (Of course, this is a rare case where the "victims" are truly guilty of witchcraft.)
** Subverted later. The kids trick them into a walk-in kiln and burn them, figuring that's the way to get rid of a witch. They probably got the idea from ''Literature/HanselAndGretel'' rather than the Salem witch trials. The candle's magic keeps them from perishing completely.
* ButtMonkey:
** Max, whose virginity is repeatedly invoked and commented on.
** Billy Butcherson easily suffers the most physical abuse of any character, getting his head knocked off on two separate occasions, and his fingers crushed when he's coming out of the sewers and a motorcycle rides over top of the lid. That's not even going into Winifred poisoning him and sewing his mouth shut so that he can't speak even in death.
* CardCarryingVillain:
** Winnie Sanderson at one point says to her sisters "We are witches, we are evil!" But then, being that they got their powers by selling their souls to Satan, this probably just represents a realistic view of themselves.
** Also, during "I Put A Spell On You" song:
--> ''Your wretched little lives have all been cursed 'Cause of all the witches working I'm the worst. [...] Ask my sisters.''
--> ''(She's vicious!)''
* CatsAreMagic: Binx, a teenager who [[BalefulPolymorph was transformed]] into a black cat by the Sandersons. He has the ability to speak, and he is effectively {{immortal|ity}}.
* CompellingVoice: Sarah's primary power - her song about halfway through the movie calls '''all the children in Salem''' to the Sanderson sisters' home, and lets the viewers know that [[NotSoHarmlessVillain she isn't as harmless as she appears to be]] (up to this point, she played the part of TheDitz and was Winifred's punching bag).
** You can hear Sarah sing at the beginning of the film as that's how she lures Emily Binx to the Sanderson sisters' cottage and kicks off the plot.
* ConvenientSlowDance: Parodied: While the Sanderson sisters are in "[[{{Satan}} The Master's]]" house, Sarah goes to "The Master" and says, "Master, wouldst thou dance with me?" She then makes a tender slow dance with him... until his wife shows up and sees them both dancing, which triggers her BerserkButton.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Sarah tortures the two bullies by force-feeding them Halloween candy. (They were already sick from it in the previous scene.)
* CreditsPushback: Because of this, the Creator/DisneyChannel no longer airs TheStinger for the movie.
* CreepyCemetery: It relies on elements from the rest of the movie to add the creepiness factor. It's actually a PlaceOfProtection since witches "can't set foot" on hallowed ground.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Winnie tries to remember the life potion's recipe but gets stuck at a dead man's....something. Aforementioned Cuckoolander Sarah abruptly shouts out "Dead man's toe!" but is shushed. As Mary and Winifred continue to try to remember the ingredient, Sarah [[FunnyBackgroundEvent shrugs and wanders off screen.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Emily Binx is hypnotized, lured to the witches' house, and forced to drink a potion that makes her life force vulnerable. The witches then suck the life out of her with a few inhales, so that she rapidly ages and dies within seconds, all without likely being aware of it. Later on in the movie, the witches prepare to do this to all the children in Salem, with Sarah singing to hypnotize them and then to have all of their lives to feast upon and gain immortality.
* CurseEscapeClause: An accidental one: Winifred cursed Binx to live forever with his guilt over having been unable to save his sister, but once the witches are finally killed, Binx's sister has been avenged, so he no longer has a reason to feel guilty--and thus the curse is broken, with Binx finally dying but being able to join his sister in the afterlife.
* DarkerAndEdgier: For Disney in general. There's a child death in the prologue alone! Any more so, and they'd likely have changed the label to Touchstone.
%%* DeadpanSnarker: Max and Binx. Winnie has her moments, as well.
* DefiantCaptive: Dani, when captured by the witches. Dani tells Winifred directly that she's the ugliest person ever, and that she sold her soul.
* DiedHappilyEverAfter: Thackery and Emily go to Heaven at the end. Thackery consoles a grieving Dani.
* DisneyDeath: Binx revives after being crushed by the bus. In a darkly humorous twist, it only seems this way because the characters (and presumably the audience) forgot that he couldn't die (though it also sets up his death later). When he revives, he shrugs it off like it was nothing and is legitimately surprised that the others were concerned.
-->'''Binx:''' (as though getting run over by a bus is the most normal thing in the world) "I hate it when that happens! What? I told you, I can't die."
* DisproportionateRetribution: Pissing off Winnie usually gets you this.
** Thackery Binx was already going to have his life sucked out of him for trying to stop the witches from killing his sister, but he makes the mistake of [[BerserkButton calling Winifred a hag]] and is instead damned to a FateWorseThanDeath in the form of being trapped in the form of a black cat... for all eternity... living with his failure.
** In case of Billy Butcherson, Winnie's lover. Winnie poisoned him and sewed his mouth shut after she caught him sporting with Sarah.
* DistantPrologue: The film starts with the hanging of the Sanderson sisters in 1693 and then fast forwards to 1993, the time of the setting.
* TheDitz: Sarah, "Amok-amok-amok-amok!" among numerous other examples.
* DoNotCallMePaul: One of the two bad boys, "Ice", hates being called "Ernie."
* DoNotGoGentle: When he drinks the potion, so that Winifred has to take his life instead of Dani's, Max proceeds to grapple with Winifred while they're both on top of her broomstick. He may die, but he's not going to sit and wait for her to suck out his youth.
* DontGoInTheWoods: The witches lived in the woods prior to their execution.
* DueToTheDead: Emily was buried in the churchyard, in hallowed ground. [[spoiler:Her brother in cat form dies on her grave.]]
* DyingCurse: At her hanging, Winifred pronounces that "on AllHallowsEve, when the moon is round, a virgin will summon us from under the ground" and then all the children will be theirs.
* EnthrallingSiren: Sarah's gift is to lure children with haunting singing.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Sarah's first appearance after being resurrected.
-->'''Sarah:''' My lucky rat tail! Just where I left it!
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Winnie apparently can't understand self-sacrifice, especially for a family member.
* EvilIsHammy: In contrast to everyone else's more subdued performances, the Sanderson sisters and their actresses are certainly enjoying themselves.
* EvilIsPetty: Dozens of helpless potential victims are lumbering mindlessly into the Sanderson sisters' clutches, but Winnie insists on going after Dani because the girl called her ugly.
* EvilPlan: The witches want to be young and beautiful forever, but they need to retrieve their spellbook from three human children and a cat.
* EvilRedhead: Winifred the witch has red hair. She's also easily the most evil out of the three.
* ExtremelyShortTimeSpan: Except for the 1693 prologue, the entire movie takes place in the span of about sixteen hours.
* EyeAwaken: The book is alert at the end of the movie.
* FakeWizardry: Max is able to scare the witches long enough to flee with his friends by convincing them them that he has powerful magic. He does this by setting off the sprinkler system with a lighter, neither of which the witches have ever seen.
* FateWorseThanDeath:
** Binx is cursed to be an immortal cat, unable to talk for centuries, all because he called Winifred ugly.
** The party at the town hall, at least after the witches take over the proceedings. "Dance until you die!"
* FemmeFatalons: Winifred's sharp nails.
%%* FieryRedhead: Winifred.
* FlyingBroomstick: Played straight and then parodied when their brooms are stolen, forcing Sarah to fly on a mop and Mary on a vacuum cleaner.
* ForcedToWatch: Thackeray Binx fails to save Emily and is forced to see her life getting sucked out of her.
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself:
** Max wears street clothes when he takes Dani trick-or-treating. His father Dave thinks he's supposed to be a hip-hop deejay, while Dani insists he's a Little Leaguer.
** The Sanderson sisters are dressed as stereotypical witches because, [[CaptainObvious that's what they are]]. Meaning they're attending Halloween as themselves, but just happen to fit in extremely well.
* FreezeFrameBonus: In the cable version, the "phone number" that Max ostentatiously hands to Alison is just the famous FiveFiveFive exchange...and nothing else. The real movie contains a seven-digit FiveFiveFive number.
* FromTheMouthsOfBabes:
** Dani going on about Max's nonexistent sex life.
** She also openly talks about Max's love of Allison's "Yabbos".
** Also, "You sold your soul!" to Winifred.
%%* FunctionalMagic
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: During a scene where the witches are hiding from firemen after Max sets off the sprinkler, Winnie explains to Mary they must be witch hunters, whereas Sarah notices "a pretty spider" [[{{Squick}} and proceeds to eat it]].
* GenkiGirl: Sarah is giddy and excited about everything.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: There's so much obvious sexual references being tossed out that it's like Machine Gun Fire Getting Past The Radar. From ''Disney'' of all companies!
-->'''Winifred:''' We desire...''[[EatsBabies children]]''.\\
'''Bus Driver:''' Hey, it may take me a couple of tries, but I don't think there will be a problem.
** Max's virginity is a plot point. At the same time, he is, for some reason, constantly getting shamed and picked on for being a virgin... at ''sixteen.'' It's implied that the only reason Dani harps on him about it so much is because, like most of the kids her age watching the movie, she has no idea what it means, just that it's something bad.
** Sarah shamelessly flirts with every male she sees, and is likewise hit on by numerous men who leer at her. There's also her idea for what to do with Binx: "Hang him on a hook and let me play with him?" There's no possible was it was read so suggestively by accident.
** When Billy the zombie's fingers get smashed by the sewer lid (due to a motorcyclist riding over it), his middle finger extends upward.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Sarah - the prettiest and most feminine of the sisters - is colour-coded with purple. As she's a witch, there's some overlap with PurpleIsPowerful and SupernaturalIsPurple.
* GreaterScopeVillain: The witch sisters claim to have received their powers from the Devil, thus making him responsible for all their evil. However, the fallen angel is otherwise not involved in the plot.
* GoodAllAlong: Billy Butcherson turns out to be this by the end of the movie, helping the kids protect themselves against the witches to the best of his abilities. The only reason the kids - and the audience - didn't know was because his [[MouthStitchedShut mouth was sewn shut]] by Winnie.
%%* HairTriggerTemper: Winnie.
* HandsomeLech: Sarah is a rare female example. It's honestly shocking for a Disney film that she flirts with every single male she comes across--from Thackeray to Max to Billy to a random bus driver to Max's bullies to a random costumed man at the party...the list goes on and on. And despite being rather attractive and flirtatious, there is no evidence to suggest she actually is successful with men or boys. Moreover, her idea of [[ColdBloodedTorture fun]] probably isn't what most men anticipate.
-->'''Sarah:''' Thou wouldst hate me in the morning.\\
'''Bus Driver:''' No I wouldn't![[YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe ...st]].\\
'''Winifred:''' ''Believe me'', thou wouldst.
** When they are deciding what to do with Binx, Sarah says, "Hang him on a hook and...let me play with him?" in a very suggestive but creepy manner.
* HaveAGayOldTime: Invoked in setting up the VirginShaming RunningGag.
* TheHecateSisters: The Sandersons. Sarah the youngest is the Maiden, Mary the right hand one to Winnie is the Matron, and Winnie takes on the role of the Crone.
* HeelFaceTurn: Billy starts out chasing the children. They just barely manage to slip out of his arms at the party -- in front of their parents, no less. (Mom wishes she had a camera.) Ultimately, he sides with them after he rips out the threads holding his mouth shut.
* AHellOfATime: According to Winifred, hell is quite lovely.
* HeroicSacrifice:
** Binx leaps onto Winifred when the latter threatens Dani, so that the latter drops the life potion. Winifred in response knocks him off her broom, injuring Binx. [[spoiler:He's later able to pass on after he sees the witches defeated and Dani safe.]]
** Subverted. [[spoiler: Max interferes with the witches' plans in order to save Dani, offering up his life in exchange for hers. He doesn't go down without a fight, however, and grapples with Winifred so she can't absorb his life. Unfortunately for the Sanderson sisters, and fortunately for Max, they are out of time.]]
* HolyBurnsEvil:
** When Winifred sneezes, a passing little girl (in costume as an Angel) says "Bless you!" prompting all three sisters to react with horror.
** As per the spell that only resurrected them for one night, the Sanderson sisters will be turned to dust when the sun rises.
** Witches can't set foot on hallowed ground and when Winifred tries to quickly kill Max in the graveyard before sunrise, she's [[TakenForGranite turned into a stone statue]] for standing in a holy place. As if that weren't enough, when the sunlight hits the statue, it explodes.
* HotWitch: Sarah is the prettiest witch of the three, and her outfit emphasizes her breasts. She's also hit on by plenty of characters.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne:
-->'''Jay:''' Man, how come it's always the ugly chicks that stay out late?!\\
'''Winifred:''' ''Chicks?''
** Contrast with Winifred's offense at Dani calling her "Ugly."
* IdioticPartnerConfession: At the beginning of the film, the Sanderson sisters are trying to convince the angry mob that they are not witches:
-->'''Winnie:''' Don't get your knickers in a twist! We're just three kindly old spinster ladies.
-->'''Mary:''' Spending a quiet evening at home.
-->'''Sarah:''' Sucking the ''lives'' out of little children!
-->[Winnie chokes Sarah]
* IfICantHaveYou: Winifred's reason behind killing her ex-boyfriend is that he dumped her/cheated on her with her sister.
* InfantImmortality: {{Averted}} in a Disney movie! The Sanderson sisters kill Emily.
-->'''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick:''' First plot point, death of a child.
* IntellectualAnimal: Binx can talk and knows a lot more about what's going on then anyone else.
* IronicEcho: At one point, Winifred swoops in on the kids, taunting them with Max's earlier line, "It's just a bunch of Hocus Pocus!"
* ItsPersonal: The witches spend much of the time trying to capture and kill Dani, but when she calls Winifred ugly, this very trope makes her even more determined to capture and kill Dani.
* JacobMarleyApparel: [[spoiler: Binx and Emily's ghosts at the end are wearing the clothes they died in]].
* JumpScare: The scene where Max and Allison rush to Dani's bed to wake her up, only to find ''Sarah'' hiding under the sheets. The accompanying ScareChord is what makes this moment effective.
* KickTheDog: When the witches encounter Binx in cat form, they mock him for failing to save Emily. He hisses at them in response.
%%* LargeHam:
* LaughablyEvil: The witches are surprisingly comedic considering the fact that they drain the life out of children, particularly Sarah.
* LifeEnergy: With the help of a potion, the witches could just take a few long whiffs and their victim will be dead.
* LightIsNotGood: Beautiful, sunny-haired, ditzy Sarah, singing sweetly to lure children to their deaths at the hands of the witches.
* LiteralMetaphor: "I Put a Spell on You" as sung by Winnie, is not ''just'' a song.
* LittleMissSnarker: Dani comments on Max's crush on Allison and lack of sex-life in general. She also snarks almost every other opportunity. After Max lights the black-flame candle and all manner of visuals and sound effects occur:
--> '''Max''': What happened? \\
'''Dani''': A ''virgin'' [adjusts her witch's hat] lit the candle.
* LivingForeverIsAwesome: You might think the Sanderson sisters are {{Vain Sorceress}}es but eternal youth is only half of what they want.
-->'''Winifred:''' We want to live ''forever''. Not just until tomorrow!
* LoopholeAbuse: "This is hallowed ground. Witches can't set foot here." What they ''can'' do is hover over it and reanimate a corpse.
* MagicMusic: "Come Little Children" and "I Put a Spell on You" combine this with Compelling Voice. Both of them work magic through lyrics.
* MissingChild: At the start of the film, a girl named Emily Binx goes missing, and it turns out she was kidnapped by three evil witches who take her soul. Later, the witches capture a little girl named Dani, but she gets saved.
* MultipleDemographicAppeal: A major reason that the film ended up being a CultClassic instead of [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids "just another kids' movie"]]. It's ''just'' dark enough to satisfy viewers who came in expecting a horror movie, with enough humor to satisfy viewers who might have preferred a comedy, enough child and teenage characters to appeal to younger viewers, a love story for fans of romance, a ton of musical numbers from Bette Midler and co. for music-lovers, and a surprisingly earnest story of sibling love for viewers who might prefer a drama.
* MurderByCremation: The main characters do this to the trio of witches. However, [[spoiler:they are later revived by their magic book, and the kids have to come up with a different plan.]]
* TheMusicMeister: The SignatureScene has Winifred enchanting a town hall full of partygoers to literally dance themselves to death. Doubles as a memorable VillainSong too: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaC-WDrvmUQ I Put A Spell On You]]."
* MyGreatestFailure: Even after 300 years, Binx is still beating himself up over Emily's death.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: [[spoiler:When he sees Winifred threatening Dani, Binx in cat form leaps on the witch and makes her drop the potion. It allows Max to save Dani, and everyone manages to fight the witches until sunrise. Binx is finally allowed to pass on.]]
* NatureAbhorsAVirgin: Surprisingly matched with VirginPower. Virginity provides the wherewithal to bring Satan's minions to earth but subverted in that Max never gets over his virginity. (This being a Creator/{{Disney}} film, and Max being 15.)
* NewAgeRetroHippie: Max appears to be this at first, and gets treated this way by most of the other characters, and who can blame them? Max does wear a tie-dyed T-shirt and harbors radical left-wing beliefs (such as his suspicion that Halloween is actually a conspiracy on the part of the candy companies). He ultimately subverts the stereotype [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar when he's offered a marijuana cigarette and he turns it down]].
* NeverTrustATrailer: Some Creator/DisneyChannel commercials omit any reference to the children, instead appearing to promote the witches as the stars.
* TheNineties: Max's ''hair'' alone dates this movie.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Max lights the enchanted candle to impress Allison, showing that he's not afraid of an old legend. Binx nearly says the trope name when he reveals to Max he can talk.
-->'''Binx:''' ''(sarcastically)'' Nice going, ''Max''.
** Hoping to undo the curse cast on Binx, Allison and Max open the spellbook to find an answer, only for it to emit a glowing orange light that gives away their exact location to the witches.
** Subverted when Dani calls Winifred ugly. While it means that the witches are gunning for her, it also means they ignore the dozens of hypnotized children they could devour.
** Then it gets ZigZagged at the end where Binx [[spoiler:after he dies tells Emily's spirit that he took so long to die because he had to wait for a "virgin" to light the candle. The witches wouldn't have come back, but Binx would have stayed in cat form for en eternity.]]
* NoManShouldHaveThisPower: When Max finds out how dangerous the Winifred's book is he is GenreSavvy enough to try to destroy it on the spot. Unfortunately it's protected by dark magic which makes this impossible.
* NoOntologicalInertia:
** The party-goers are cursed to dance until they die. The curse ends when the witches die. The curses binding Binx and Billy to life also break.
** A zigzagged example is when after the Sandersons are led to burn in the school kiln and the group believes they have won, Binx is still alive as a talking cat, and Allison believes another spell is necessary to undo the curse. It turns out to be because the witches are not ''truly'' dead yet.
* TheNoseKnows: Mary can smell children from very far away (possibly a ShoutOut to ''Literature/HanselAndGretel''); this leads to a rather humorous scene, where she can smell them all over the place, but can't see them, and starts to lament that she may have lost her powers. (They're all in plain sight, but the Halloween costumes are confusing all three of them.)
** An interesting case of ShownTheirWork, at that; the original purpose of dressing in costumes on All Hallow's Eve was to hide from monsters, and the Sandersons certainly qualify.
* NoSell: Sarah's "Come, Little Children" doesn't work on Thackery, Elijah, Allison or Max. It's unclear if they weren't affected because they weren't the targets, or because they are older teens. We know Max is old enough to drive a car at least.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: Billy, unless you count two-timing on his lover "evil". The whole reason he's assumed to be evil for most of the movie is because [[MouthStitchedShut his lips are sewn shut]] and he can't speak; when he finally manages too, ''then'' he's able to express his true loyalties.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: The Sandersons may seem comically bumbling about 80 percent of the time, Emily's murder being utter NightmareFuel, but you'd be wise not to mess with them when they ''really'' get angry. Sarah in particular seems a harmless, ditzy woman through most of the movie. Then she starts singing sweetly, luring children into the trio's clutches, and you ''know'' she's deadly.
* OffscreenInertia: The last we see of Jay and "Ice", they're still locked in their cages singing a round of "Row Your Boat". Granted, the main trio knew they were there from Dani's earlier rescue, but who knows how long they were left to stew.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: The mob in the prologue successfully subdued the three witches and strung them up on a gallows. It doesn't look like they suffered any casualties either.
* OhCrap: Billy reacts in this way ''twice'', each time just before he (literally) loses his head.
* PainfulTransformation: Thackery Binx's tranformation into a cat is intentionally painful because this trope was invoked by the Sanderson sisters.
* ParentService: Sarah shows a lot of cleavage, and you get a very good view of her cleavage during the second singing of "Come Little Children".
%%* PillarOfLight
* PleaseWakeUp: Dani to Binx near the end. It's harsher than the standard because he was immortal up until then.
* PoliceAreUseless: Subverted -- the apparent cop who bullies the children and insults Max's manhood is only in costume.
* PrecisionFStrike: The times within the space of a few minutes when Billy says phrases that involve the word, "Hell!"
* ProductPlacement:
** "[[{{Satan}} The Master]]" gives [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_Bar Clark Bar candy bars]] to the Sanderson sisters. They think they are chocolate covered fingers of a man named Clark.
** Also, while still at "the Master's" house, Mary turns on the TV and sees [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ABvOay1g7U a commercial for DuPont Stainmaster with a running baby in it]], and [[{{Squee}} she gets ecstatic]].
* PsychopathicWomanchild: Sarah is so childlike, it's very easy to forget she's homicidal and very dangerous, and her idea of "play" likely involves death and, at one point, possibly torture. Sarah Jessica Parker's delivery makes her lines less creepy, until you think about them. One line sums her up instantly.
-->'''Sarah:''' My lucky rat tail! Just where I left it!
* RedheadInGreen: Winifred is the redhead in the trio of sisters and she's colour-coded with green.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Thackery is cursed with the ability to revive from anything that kills him.
* RevengeBeforeReason: The witches could have won if they'd given the potion to the two bullies, but Winifred wanted specifically to consume the life force of Dani, who had [[ItsPersonal called her ugly]].
%%* RuleOfFunny
* RunningGag: Max's virginity is referenced oh so often, sometimes as a metaphor for idiot. His eight-year-old sister, Dani, only mentions it three times. It has been theorized that Dani was just getting her big brother's goat without knowing virginity's meaning, but the contexts belie that interpretation. On the other hand, she also twice mocks Max's attraction to Allison (and her "yabbos").
* SacrificialLamb: Emily is the movie's first casualty, ten minutes after the credits roll. From what we see she was a sweet girl whom Thackery would protect with his life. As a ghost, she playfully calls to Thackery when welcoming him to heaven.
* SalemIsWitchCountry: That's where the protagonist witches were from, and reappear to do their evil.
* SanityBall: Is briefly held by Sarah and Mary when they point out to Winifred that they don't need to chase after Max and Dani because they've already got a kid to feed their potion to, and thanks to Sarah's singing more are coming to the house. They can always make more potion afterwards because they've got the book back, [[ItsPersonal but Winifred's too dead set on getting back at Dani for calling her "ugly" to care.]]
* {{Satan}}: Never appears in person, but the Sanderson sisters call him their "master" (when meeting a man in a "devil" Halloween costume and mistaking him for the real thing), and a museum sign claims he gave Winnifred her spell book.
* SchmuckBait: The candle that is said to bring back a trio of witches, if lit by a virgin during a full moon, is lit during Halloween. Binx calls Max an "airhead virgin" for falling for this.
* SeekingSanctuary: Cemeteries are hallowed ground, and any witch who sets foot on hallowed ground gets turned to stone.
* SequelHook: The final shot before the credits shows the book waking up again, implying that either the sisters STILL aren't gone for good or some other evil force is calling to it. However, a sequel still hasn't been made.
* SeeYouInHell:
-->''' Billy Butcherson:''' Go to Hell!\\
'''Winifred:''' Oh! [[InsultBackfire I've been there, thank you. I found it quite lovely]].
* ShadowArchetype: Max begins the film extremely self-centered, over-dramatic, short-tempered and showing an enormous amount of disdain for his annoying but loving little sister. Comparisons are drawn with Max and Binx, but the stronger parallels are with Max and Winifred, an extremely self-centered, over-dramatic and short-tempered witch who despises her incompetent, yet devoted, younger sisters. Sarah and Mary follow Winifred into what will clearly be their own demise and die after a clumsy attempt to save her from Max, a gesture Winifred would hardly return.
-->'''Winifred:''' [[spoiler:What a fool to give up ''thy'' life...for thy ''sister's''.]]
* ShockAndAwe: Winnie can fire painful electrics blasts from her fingers.
* ShoutOut: During the "I Put a Spell on You" number, Winnie calls out, "Hello, Salem, my name is Winifred! What's yours?" This is a nod to Mama Rose in ''Theatre/{{Gypsy}}'', who said, "Hello, world, my name is Rose! What's yours?" (which was spoken by Louise earlier) Doubles as an ActorAllusion when Bette Midler played Mama Rose in the TV version on the same year that ''Hocus Pocus'' was released.
** At the beginning of "I Put a Spell on You", Winnie gives out a shout-out to one of Music/EltonJohn's songs:
--->'''Winifred:''' Now the {{witch| with a capital B}} [[Music/EltonJohn is back!]] And there's hell to pay.
** Also, the "I Put a Spell on You" number is an {{homage}} to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote the song, [[BeamMeUpScotty although the original actually started with "I put a spell on you, 'cause you're mine."]]
** Winnie also gives a nod to Music/TheBeatles when she {{shock|AndAwe}}s Max:
--->'''Winifred:''' Hello... goodbye!
* SkepticNoLonger: Max initially makes jokes about the witches, and believes that Halloween itself is a candy company conspiracy. Then the witches show up, he is berated by a talking cat, and is then onboard with the "magic is real" message.
* SolitarySorceress: The witches' cottage seems to be just outside of old Salem (but not so far as to be inaccessible to the mob), though by the modern day it's within the limits of the town.
* SophisticatedAsHell: Binx snarling [[TotallyRadical "Nice going, Max!"]] in his standard 17th-century Colonial accent.
* SpellBook: Bound in human skin, and emblazoned with a living human eye, no less.
* SpoiledSweet: Downplayed but Allison's parents are rich, with a BigFancyHouse and she is a kind and sweet girl.
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: Max tries to burn the witch's book after Binx tells him and Allison that it's pure evil. Unfortunately, one cigarette lighter isn't enough to do the job.
* TheStinger: A number of them. After we see [[spoiler:Thackery and Emily finally reunited at the gates of {{Heaven}}]], the end credits are accompanied by the following: Dave and Jenny Dennison and all the other townspeople stumbling out of the town hall in their costumes, with Dave commenting that "I thought L.A. was a party town!"; [[OffscreenInertia Jay and Ice still locked in birdcages in the Sandersons' lair, pitifully singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" to pass the time]]; and a final tip-off that the Sanderson sisters may be NotQuiteDead.
* SummonToHand: If the spellbook is nearby, Winnifred can call to it and it will float over to her.
* SurroundedByIdiots:
-->'''Winifred:''' WHY? Why was I cursed with such IDIOT sisters?\\
'''Sarah:''' Just lucky, I guess.
** Binx as well. Max and Dani are about as sharp as bowling balls, with Allison flip-flopping between good decisions and bad ones.
* {{Symbolism}}: Pay very close attention to the background during the climax, after Binx attacks Winifred and is thrown to the ground: the grave he landed by is that of his sister. He dies on her grave[[spoiler:, and then his spirit is reunited with hers right after]].
* TakeAThirdOption: At the end, Max either has to give up the potion or Winifred will kill her, threatening to snap her neck. If he does give up the potion, Winifred will force-feed Dani the potion to suck out her life. What does he do? He drinks the potion instead.
* TakeMeInstead: Max drinks the potion to keep Winifred from force-feeding it to Dani. "What a fool to give up ''thy'' life... for thy ''sister's''."
* TakenForGranite: Winifred. The result of her standing on hallowed ground while trying to steal Max's life.
* TalkingAnimal: Binx the talking cat.
* TerribleTrio: The three witch sisters, of course.
* TitleDrop: "C'mon, it's all just a bunch of hocus pocus." Winifred later repeats the same line in a mocking way when they're flying/chasing after the protagonists through the graveyard.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Binx's spirit reunited with his sister in the afterlife.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: Winifred, Mary, and Sarah; not evil-sounding names. They're actually very ''common'' names.
* TomeOfEldritchLore: Winifred's spellbook. Bound in human skin (complete with human eyeball) and given to her by {{Satan}} himself. Plus, it's at least partially sentient.
* TooDumbToLive:
** The kids during the final scenes [[spoiler: in the graveyard. Dani is safely protected by a circle of salt - with enough space for the other two to join in the circle as well. Yet they opt to fight the witches outside of it. Then Dani decides to ''leave'' the circle to help Billy get his head back. This very nearly costs her her life and then almost her brother's. At least partly justified since a child her age would realistically make such decisions.]]
* TookALevelInBadass:
** Thackery as a human wasn't even able to strike a blow against the witches since they incapacitated him. In cat form, he proves to be far more formidable.
** Max has a hard time fending off two bullies, and is made fun of a lot. When the witches appear, he has the presence of mind to bluff long enough to get Dani out of the cottage. By the end of the movie he drinks a life-draining potion to save Dani and grapples with Winifred in time for dawn to come.
* UndeathAlwaysEnds: Thackery's cursed immortality at the end, along with his sister, who has apparently been a ghost for 300 years.
* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Actually ''subverted''. Allison gets an idea of how to take out the witches, but does not explain it. We then see her [[BurnTheWitch plan in action]], and it works...[[NotQuiteDead until it doesn't]].
* UnusualEuphemism: "Yabbos" to describe what Max loves. According to [[http://www.imdb.com/search/text?realm=title&field=quotes&q=Yabbos IMDB]], "yabbos" was used in ''[[Film/AnimalHouse National Lampoon's Animal House]]'' for breasts in the phrase "major-league yabbos."
* VainSorceress: The witch sisters are delighted to have become young and beautiful again in the prologue after draining life from a child. Winifred also flips out when she's called ugly.
* VampiricDraining: The three witches do this to a young girl to maintain their youth.
* VillainBall: Winnie holds it pretty hard at some points, but the worst is when the three sisters have everything they need to win, at least temporarily -- enough potion to suck the lives of at least one child, which would give them enough time to live at least past Halloween and make more, plus the spellbook and a whole crowd of children on which to use it, and Winnie gives up the perfect opportunity to go get the life of one specific child, who called her "ugly." Even given that Winnie had been shown many times beforehand to be vain, self-centered, arrogant and vindictive, you would still think she would insure that she would live past the end of the night, then go after Dani.
* VillainSong:
** "I Put a Spell on You" qualifies as both this and MagicMusic. Winnie openly gloats over what she's doing to the party-goers, even as she's doing it.
--> "The ''witch'' is back, and there's ''hell'' to pay!" \\
"Your wretched little lives have all been cursed 'Cause of all the witches working I'm the ''worst''! [...] Ask my sisters." \\
"(She's vicious!)"
** Sarah gets one in the form of "Come, Little Children", which she sings to lure the children of Salem to the witches' lair.
* VirginityMakesYouStupid: Virgin is almost a synonym for idiot, and Max [[NeverLiveItDown never lives it down]].
* VirginPower: A virgin can resurrect the witches. Probably ''only'' a virgin can.
-->'''Max:''' ''(after feeling the room shake)'' What happened?\\
'''Dani:''' A ''virgin'' ''(referring to Max)'' lit the candle.
* VirginShaming: The audience is reminded every five minutes that [[OverlyLongGag Max is one]] because no one can believe that a guy his age is still one.
* TheWeirdSisters: The plot revolves around the EvilPlan of three witches, the Sanderson sisters, to suck out the souls of the children of Salem, Massachusetts.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** What happened to the three girls who got the Sandersons' brooms?
** The last we saw of Max's house was the Sanderson sisters completely destroying the top floor. One wonders what his parents will think when they finally get home.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Happens to Binx in the beginning when he is cursed. It's deconstructed as ''eventually'' he gets tired of moping around and starts doing something with his eternal life.
* WitchClassic: Of the WickedWitch type. Three of them sucking the souls out of little children.
* WitchWithACapitalB: Winnie does this in a nod to Music/EltonJohn during "I Put a Spell on You"; see ShoutOut.
* WouldHurtAChild: The Sanderson sisters drain Emily's life and intend to do so with all the children of Salem.
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe:
** The Sanderson sisters, and Thackeray and Emily Binx, and the rest of the Salem townsfolk in 1693. By the time of the main narrative, 300 years later, Binx no longer talks like that, presumably because he was influenced by the change around him in the English language over time. The witch sisters have not because they've been dead all this time.
** Played with on the bus:
-->'''Sarah:''' Thou wouldst hate me in the morning.\\
'''Bus Driver:''' No I wouldn'st!
** One {{egregious}} example:
-->'''Sarah:''' Come little children, I'll take ''thee'' away.[[note]]Should be "you"; "thee" is singular.[[/note]]
*** While "thee" is most often treated as singular, it's also the correct pronunciation of the plural form "Þe", which modern typography renders as "ye". Said plural form was in use in 1693, though rapidly falling out of fashion.
* YouCanTalk: Max's first words to Binx the talking cat.
* YouNeedABreathMint:
** When [[spoiler: Billy insults Winifred]], Max gets a whiff of his breath and almost loses his lunch.
-->'''Max:''' Say what you want, just don't breathe on me!
** It's also relevant to Max's first run-in with Jay and "Ice".
-->'''Ice:''' Gee, we don't get any smokes from you. We don't get any cash. What am I supposed to do with my afternoon?
-->'''Max:''' Maybe you could learn to breathe through your nose.
* YouAreTooLate: The angry mob that comes for the witches arrives after Emily is dead and Thackery has been turned into a cat. Mr. Binx, their father, has the [[SarcasmMode pleasure]] of finding Emily's desiccated corpse in the cottage, and can only angrily ask the witches where his son is. They refuse to answer, even after being threatened with the gallows. Mr. Binx can at least avenge his children by hanging the witches, but he's unaware of the black cat trying to reach out to him.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: For a little while, it seems that [[spoiler:the witches have been cooked in the school oven. But Binx is still a cat, and the parents are still dancing to death in the city hall. The witches were dead, but it didn't stick]].
* ZombieApocalypse: Averted; it's just one zombie and [[spoiler:he's not exactly evil.]]
* ZombieGait: Billy's silly zombie stumble.
[[spoiler:[[OverlyLongGag Virgin]].]]

Gas (flatus), burping, and bloating are all normal conditions. Gas is made in the stomach and intestines as your body breaks down food into energy. Gas and burping may sometimes be embarrassing. Bloating, which is a feeling of fullness in the abdomen, can make you uncomfortable. Although many people think that they pass gas too often or have too much gas, it is rare to have too much gas. Changing what you eat and drink can sometimes cut down on gas and relieve discomfort caused by gas.
Belching or burping (eructation) is the voluntary or involuntary, sometimes noisy release of air from the stomach or esophagus through the mouth. Burping 3 or 4 times after eating a meal is normal and is usually caused by swallowing air. Other causes of burping include nervous habits or other medical conditions, such as an ulcer or a gallbladder problem. In some cultures, a person may belch loudly after eating to show appreciation for the meal.
All people pass gas, but some people produce more gas than others. It is normal to pass gas from 6 to 20 times a day. Although this may embarrass or annoy you, excess intestinal gas usually is not caused by a serious health condition.
Common causes of gas and bloating include:
- Swallowed air. If swallowed air is not burped up, it passes through the digestive tract and is released through the anus as flatus. Excessive air swallowing may cause hiccups.
- Foods and beverages. The amount of gas that different foods cause varies from person to person.
- Lactose intolerance. A person who cannot easily digest lactose, a type of natural sugar found in milk and dairy products can have both gas and bloating as well as other symptoms.
- Constipation. This can cause bloating but generally does not increase gas. For more information, see the topic Constipation, Age 11 and Younger or Constipation, Age 12 and Older.
- Medicines or nutritional supplements. Both prescription and nonprescription medicines, as well as dietary supplements, can cause bloating and gas as side effects.
- A medical condition, such as a bowel obstruction or Crohn's disease.
- Changes in hormone levels. It is common for women to have bloating right before their periods, because their bodies retain fluid.
Dyspepsia is a medical term that is used to describe a vague feeling of fullness, gnawing, or burning in the chest or upper abdomen, especially after eating. A person may describe this feeling as "gas." Other symptoms may occur at the same time, such as belching, rumbling noises in the abdomen, increased flatus, poor appetite, and a change in bowel habits. Causes of dyspepsia can vary from minor to serious.
Occasionally, a person may dismiss serious symptoms, such as symptoms of a heart attack, as "just gas or indigestion."
Check your symptoms to decide if and when you should see a doctor.

text: This week in Holiday Food Fest is all about Thanksgiving and Fall dishes, hosted by Alta. I had the idea of mine all ready to go. Today, being Remembrance Day, I don't have school, so I made pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. And they were amazing. I couldn't not share. Plus, its a fall dish – a breakfast one! Seriously, these are heaven. So light, just pumpkiny enough, just enough spice, just enough everything. They're satisfying without being full and heavy. I've made other pancakes, which I thought were light, but these are no comparison. They might just float away.

Part 1 in the series Learning In the New Economy of Information
In the past 10 years, perhaps nothing has changed more than the relationship between teachers and the information being distributed in their classrooms. Historically, the role of teacher has always been that of gatekeeper and distributor of the course canon. Information was dispensed. Students were encouraged to arrive at their own conclusions and interpret information, but they were limited by the fact that they were operating in a scarce economy of information (teacher, textbook and a limited number of outside sources). For the most part, the teacher was the sole provider of content, and though many teachers worked to provide quality materials and move away from a lecture-based curriculum, even these provided resources were no less teacher directed.
With the proliferation of mobile technology, our ability to access information has increased, dramatically changing the practice of teaching. Comparing the two scenarios, the circumstances couldn't be more different.
Teaching in an Environment of Scarcity
When teaching in an environment of informational scarcity, lessons that deeply explored a subject were limited by the resources that the school library had available, as well as students' ability to access them. (Remember encyclopedias labeled "Reference: Do not remove from library"?) Even the most thorough research might yield only a few resources. To put it simply, your Lego castle could be no larger than the maximum number of bricks that you possessed. There just weren't that many bricks available for building.
In this information scarce environment, the main form of instruction was a lecture, and the tools that dominated the classroom were just as understandably those that distributed the limited information: textbooks and chalkboards. Much of early educational technology consisted of tools to enhance the lecture. While PowerPoint is often derided today, at its inception, it offered an effective way to share pictures and graphics, emphasize information, and ration the delivery of content (just as the cover paper on an overhead slide once did, only better).
A teacher might spend the better part of her career collecting effective, appropriate, and accessible sources for their students — think of all the hours and money spent finding specific artifacts at libraries and museums, which today can be found through one search of Google images. But before that was possible, finding, evaluating, preparing, copying, and distributing such materials made lessons with rich resources a rarity, and came at the cost of time — the ultimate educational currency.
The New Economy of Abundance
Today, there's almost an over-abundance of information. A class of students could easily collect and process 100 potential sources in a single class. They can access materials from different eras and regions. They have access to experts and their work. It's becoming common for actual artifacts to be available online; and in many cases, replicas of artifacts can even be downloaded and reconstructed with a 3D printer.
In an economy of such abundant information, the teacher who still insists upon distributing information via lecture is competing with primary sources and documents that would allow students to actively participate in ways far deeper than simply listening. If a student can download a PowerPoint, or take pictures of notes on the board, is it the most efficient use of class time to have them copy content line by line? The speed with which information can be accessed and shared seems to invalidate the pace of the everyday lecture.
But far from devaluing the role of the modern teacher, the new economy of information has freed teachers from their role as "font of knowledge" and allowed them to become chief analyzer, validity coach, research assistant, master differentiator, and creator of a shared learning experience. Today's teacher will have to make sense of information that he may not be able to predict (because it is student generated), and yet still ensure that the daily learning objective is met. This is done by highlighting and celebrating successes, building skills, and honing the ability to evaluate information.
In the past, teachers gave life to learning for generations of students — no different than today. But they were operating in an environment of scarcity that would make today's teachers cringe (and they do, every time the Internet is down for more than just
a short while). As the information available and our ability to access it increases, this new economy of information is transforming the practice of teaching and the roles of both teacher and student.

Slava Voynov's Immigration Wrinkle to his Domestic Violence Charges
Slava Voynov is a native, and presumable still a citizen, of Russia. Thus, he is probably in the United States under nonimmigrant status as an athlete, or possible as a legal permanent resident if the Kings petitioned for a green card for him. Since he is not a citizen, he will have to worry about two different issues relating to United States immigration.
First, if he is convicted of the charged offense, he would become immediately deportable under current immigration laws. Further, the charge is considered a crime of moral turpitude, such that Mr. Voynov would be inadmissible to return to the United States should he ever leave the U.S. with that charge on his record. The distinction between being deportable and being inadmissible may seem small, but could have serious ramifications for Mr. Voynov. It is conceivable that he may accept a plea on the case such that he is not deportable, but is inadmissible. This would mean that he could remain in the United States, but should he ever leave (like say for a game in Vancouver), he would not be allowed to return.
A final immigration issue that Mr. Voynov must face is with Canada. Even if he were to somehow avoid immigration issues in the United States by taking a plea to a lower charge, he would be inadmissible into Canada with a criminal conviction for domestic violence in the United States. This means that even if he is somehow able to lower the charges and remain in the United States, he may not be allowed to travel to any of the Canadian games, where the Kings currently play about 15% of their schedule, not including the playoffs. If this occurs, even if the Kings keep Mr. Voynov on their roster, they'd certainly have something to say about paying out the full 100% of his six-year, $25 million contract, of which five and a half years still remain.
While the charge is still pending and nothing may result from this, it should be obvious that, although less publicized than the NFL cases, Mr. Voynov's domestic violence charge has MUCH more serious consequences for him.

This would mean that he could remain in the United States, but should he ever leave (like say for a game in Vancouver), he would not be allowed to return.prediksi bola jitu

Today I received this email that I thought you would enjoy:
"Many years ago, you and I corresponded. I had been looking for the key to incorporating different colors into kippot/yarmulkes, and had been asking people to teach me. Now one could. Finally, you introduced me to the answer…tapestry crochet! I had bought your first book on the subject and you sent me an autographed copy of the second. I think that crocheting patterns into kippot is more interesting than straight colors."
"When I told DH I wanted to make him a kippa to match his tallit, he asked for a plain pattern. I matched the colors in the fabric with DMC skeins. I finished every color as if it were the outside of the kippa. I don't like the 'bump' at the end of a row. (I will often incorporate the wearers Hebrew name so that the bump is woven in and not noticeable.) The gold thread was difficult to use which is why I put it on the inside, instead of the outside."
"I actually had to unwravel the ecru outside band and redo it because the stitches were too tight for DH. He has a very flat head… LOL!"
"I thank you to this day and wanted you to know that I'm still inspired."
Thank you so much, Monica, for your wonderful email and for letting me share it with the world!

... being an old country hand I could tell the moment I stepped out of the door that something was afoot.
On Sunday 4th of May, the winds of change swept through East Dulwich. And being an old country hand I could tell the moment I stepped out of the door that something was afoot. It wasn't a tang of salt air from the distant ocean, or a warning red sky, or a late opening of goatsbeard flowers either. It was the noticeable absence of 747s turning on their final approach into Heathrow. Only a serious change in the wind can do this. An hour later this new wind brought a wonderful gift - the swifts returned.
I'm no bird expert, but these harbingers of summer lift my heart when, as now, they scream their victorious celebration of return across the heavens. They made one low sweep together, a passing salute, then divided and wheeled off to the horizon. I counted about 15, the same number we get every year, give or take. They're late this year; in 2007 it was May 2nd.
Then it was newts, three of them paddling about at the bottom of the pond. They were easily visible against the new butyl liner I had to put in when the old one sprung a leak. Our pond is raised, three railway sleepers high off the ground, so these two females and a male had managed to scramble up and climb in. There's not much else going on in the water yet - no boatmen or beetles or skaters - but a shaft of sunlight through the scattered pondweed shows the dancing hordes of water fleas. The water is clear and clean so I'm expecting great things in coming months.
I spent a lot of time in the garden on Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday. Why? Decking. I'm not sure what the received wisdom on decking is, but we have a thoroughfare near the end of the garden between the lawn and a secluded patio. Overshadowed by apple tree and creeper-covered pergola, and trodden underfoot by children stampeding to the playhouse, it turned to mud long ago, so putting a small area of deck seemed like the obvious choice. This is the first time I've tried my hand at this type of woodwork, and I'm feeling rather smug I have to say. We now have a small but perfectly formed seating area in the dappled shade, just the place to enjoy a glass of something with the neighbours as the swifts continue to screech overhead.

I am putting a number of odd broken ceramic pots, large stones and bricks, logs, twigs, bits of bamboo and broken tiles etc on top of the weed free covering, between the joists under the decking for newts, frogs, toads small mammals and insects.I think it is an ideal way to get rid of some of my rubbish and help the wildlife.

I too have noticed the Swifts return, I had only mentioned in the morning to my husband that the swifts should be back soon and there they were, swooping about above me. Since then the weather has been warmer and drier, perhaps they brought it with them?
We live in a suburb of Southampton and the swifts used to nest in next door's roof, but the owner had the roof repaired and now they can't get in there, what a pity.

I also went out to the garden on Mon 5th (may day)to see several swallows sweeping by. I must say it took me by surprise but it really lifted my heart after a cool spring. The sun has shone everyday since here in Carrickfergus. Who knows perhaps the swallows have brought us a hot african summer :)

My daughter and I built our wildlife pond early last spring. Last year we had frogs inhabit it and making themselves at home, leaving us with several offspring who have returned this year. But to our great joy we have a newt (probably more than one I don't know yet) in our pond this year to add to the wildlife already inhabiting it.

I too was very pleased with my new decking but unfortunately then had some uninvited guests sharing it with me - 2 rats! The man from the Council told me that decking is a favourite home for rats, together with left-over bird food. I think we have got rid of them now, but just keep an eye out for any burrowing underneath the decking going on. On the positive side i have a blackbird's nest, together with many sparrows and a family of blue tits.

LAFARGE Tarmac's Dunbar Works was recently selected to take part in an international project to show how environmental performance can be improved by developing constructive working relationships between industry, regulators and local communities.
Thanks to collaboration between Lafarge Tarmac and the Environment Agency, the site hosted two specialists from Africa for a week as part of the prestigious Commonwealth Fellowship scheme.
Jared Kokach, optimisation manager at Bamburi Cement Ltd in Kenya – part of the Lafarge Group – and Azziz Abbu, senior environmental management officer at the National Environmental Management Council in Tanzania – the African equivalent of SEPA (Scottish Environment Protection Agency) - were particularly interested in sustainability initiatives being undertaken by the Works.
These included the progressive approach to quarry restoration, the way emissions are monitored and calibrated independently and how waste-based materials, such as tyre chips, are used in cement-making.
Environmental coordinator for the Works, Sharon Gardner, oversaw the visit; she said the visitors were also interested in how the Works' liaison committee operated and in the signs around the Works encouraging staff to share their ideas – welcome ideas they plan to explore further in their respective organisations.
She said: "It was a real pleasure to welcome Jared and Azziz on site. Whilst the overall aim is to present our local experiences to them, we also found it interesting to hear about the relationship between industry and regulators in Kenya and Tanzania. Everyone learns from exchanges such as these."

Tiny artwork must be seen to be believed
Published 7:15 pm, Thursday, July 14, 2011
Amazement, surprise and the question, "How?" went through my mind somewhat simultaneously as I looked through a magnifying glass at the paintings of Wes and Rachelle Siegrist, now on view at the Museum of the Southwest.
I suspect I'm not alone.
The exhibition includes portraits, landscapes, wildlife and still lifes. The paintings are not small. Small is too big. They are tiny. Pick up a ruler and see what 3.5x3.5 looks like in size. Then imagine there is a detailed painting within its borders.
Tiny. The paintings typically measure less than nine square inches and appear even more detailed when viewed under magnification.
The miniature paintings are by Wes and Rachelle Siegrist.
Everyl Adair, director of Research and Rare Collections at the R.W. Norton Art Gallery, Shreveport, La., called the couple "Two of the finest living practitioners of this art form."
"He's world famous as a miniaturist," Nar Steel, president of the Miniature Painters, Sculptors & Gravers Society of Washington, D.C., and judge for the Society's 77th International Exhibition, said of Wes Siegrist. "And he's hailed as one of the finest living practitioners of the miniature art form. It was a real privilege to have him."
Siegrist started his professional career in 1986 working as a freelance designer, cartoonist and teacher. From 1989 until 1999 he was an instructor at the Highlands Art Museum in Sebring, Fla., and he also taught at various galleries and art leagues. In 1989, Rachelle was one of his students at the Highlands Art Museum.
They have been painting together since then.
"We've exhibited in over 650 art shows, galleries and museums thus far in our career and have received hundreds of awards between us -- it's always been a friendly competition," Rachelle Siegrist said on the couple's website.
The "Exquisite Miniatures" Exhibition at the Museum of the Southwest features 50 paintings that are on tour through 2013. The exhibition also will travel to Dunnegan Gallery of Art, Bolivar, Mo.; Yadkin Cultural Arts Center, Yadkinville, N.C.; Dennos Museum Center, Traverse City, Mich.; San Diego Natural History Museum, San Diego, Calif.; Nevada State Museum, Carson City, Nevada.; ArtCenter Manatee, Bradenton, Fla. and the Museum of the Gulf Coast, Port Arthur.
"We primarily paint for two reasons: Foremost, we absolutely love wildlife," R. Siegrist said on the couple website. "Almost all of our work is a reflection of our experiences and interactions with wildlife in nature. Secondly, we love to paint. It's not just our career - it's our hobby and joy."
The paintings must be seen in person to be believed.
All the details:
What: "Exquisite Miniatures by Wes and Rachelle Siegrist" Exhibition
When: now-Aug. 28
Where: Museum of the Southwest, 1705 W. Missouri Ave.
Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 2- 5 p.m. Sunday
Admission: Free. Collection box available.

I've been in San Francisco for a couple of days ' giving talks, enjoying a bit of the Bay Area, and meeting with travel publishers and travel editors. Today was filled with philosophy about the role of a travel writer and tour guide. I'm not sure exactly what we were talking about, but it stirred my thoughts nicely.
I spent breakfast talking with Spud Hilton (travel editor of the San Francisco Chronicle). One of only about a dozen journalists in the USA still earning their income as a full-time travel editor, Spud gave me an update on the state of newspapers in our economy.
As we lamented the cost to society of traditional journalism morphing into blogs and amateur Internet postings, Spud compared "citizen journalism" to "citizen dentistry" or getting a "citizen plumber" ' do we really want to dispense with the professionals in trying to understand our world through news reporting?
Spud also talked about the challenges of getting good articles for his travel section. He likes a travel story that gives a place a personality profile, written by a writer who shares his experiences there in a way that tells more about the place than the writer.
I lamented how I can do a month of really productive guidebook work and come up with almost nothing of any value for newspaper articles. Then I can go out for two days without my guidebook chores and stir up plenty of great anecdotal material for newspaper and magazine writing.
Spud said one reason he likes to run my articles in the Chronicle is that people in the Bay Area already feel like they know me. This is helpful because he figures they get up and running with me more quickly, and that enables me to establish myself in a place with fewer words. And fewer words is a plus when you have limited newspaper space.
Conventional thinking is that people go to the travel section of a newspaper to learn about good deals. Spud believes you can find countless deals online these days, and for a paper to offer something unique it needs to run finely crafted articles that take you there.
We were talking about my new Travel as a Political Act book, and found that we were both dealing with the same notion that there are two fundamentally different ways to travel ' the old "tourist versus traveler" thing ' and that one is not necessarily right or wrong. My passion has been to inspire people to both have fun and have that broadening experience.
Spud, who landed his position in part because he's an expert in (and a fan of) the cruise industry, also sees two kinds of travel: what he terms "discovery travel" and "leisure travel." We agreed that these are not mutually exclusive. You can go to Mazatlán and have the leisure on the beach (with a plastic wristband giving you unlimited margaritas and a stretch of Pacific beach cleared of locals)…and then head a couple blocks inland to eat real Mexican food with locals.
Then I had lunch with my publisher, and the fun conversation continued. My publisher is a futurist/visionary/travel publishing wonk ' a wonderful man to collaborate with if you want your guidebooks to succeed. In analyzing the ebb and flow of various guidebook series, he was into the notion that some guidebooks are into aggregation while others are into curation (as if designed by a "curator").
Aggregation publishers build their guidebooks by pooling all the data in a giant content bank, and then ladle out various configurations as if buying modular furniture: Would you like an L-shaped sofa? How about a guidebook to clubs and shopping in capital cities? Other guidebooks are a result of "curation" ' designing, organizing, and interpreting information that works together holistically, like a body works together. Knowing what a traveler needs and what they've learned or experienced so far, a "curation" guidebook intuits what is helpful as the trip unfolds.
I told my publisher that I experimented this summer with letting my staff dedicate days to hotel updates, freeing up time for me to "live the books" and have the experiences in order to better shape and design this end of the information. I was thinking this might be the most valuable use of my time. He said, "Yes…curation." (Perhaps the word is just made up…but I like it much better than aggregation.)
Then, this afternoon, I talked on the phone with my tour operations department and grappled with the challenge of guides who keep their groups very happy by aggregating the travel experiences on a tour, but aren't curators in bringing everything together to give a big context and maximize meaning and learning by weaving together what the various local guides have shared and taught.
Whether its through newspaper articles, guidebooks, or tour experiences, we are scrambling to make the travel experience as rich and meaningful as possible.
