Having always been a great fan of horror movies, I have to say that along with all the many thousands that I have enjoyed immensely, there have also been the occasional bad ones. You know the kind I am talking about: the ones where you think, how on earth did THIS ever get made? These movies suffer from, to coin an apposite phrase, The Curse of The Horror Trope.
Let me expand on this. Some horror movies are just plain silly. People do the most ridiculous things in them. Their actions are so unrealistic, so stupid – and so downright annoying – that you just feel like reaching for the OFF switch on your TV, or, worse, picking something up and hurling it at the screen in utter anger, as you feel cheated rather than entertained. Oh you stupid clot, you think, as you watch yet another far-fetched scene where a character – usually a teen – behaves in a fashion in which they just wouldn't in real life.
Let me give you a few examples of such silly horror tropes. Picture the scene: a screaming teenage girl is fleeing from a house in which she has just witnessed the bloody slaughter of her boyfriend. As she stumbles outside the path, she spots a car parked nearby. So what does she do? Yes, you've guessed it: she dashes to the car, yanks open the door and slips in to proceed to fumble with the ignition, in a desperate attempt to start up the engine before the murderous maniac can catch up with her. Amazing, isn't it, how you can suddenly regain some calmness of nerve, despite the fact that you have a crazed killer breathing down your neck. Oh Lord, give me strength! In real life, you would be in such a hysterical state, and you'd be shaking so uncontrollably, that you would just run and run and run, as if the very Devil himself were after you. Fact. It wouldn't matter one iota whether a car was conveniently parked there or not; your main concern would be, rather than waste time fiddling around with a car that just won't start, to put as much distance as possible between yourself and your pursuer.
Another most annoying horror trope is when somebody – be it a well-meaning villager or an expert in the supernatural (e.g. Van Helsing in Dracula) – warns you not to go anywhere near the old house in the woods or the creepy castle on the hill. Yet despite all these warnings, what do you do? Well, you only say up yours to the warner and venture up to this apparently shunned place, as casually as if you were taking in a harmless tourist attraction. Fool! You ask for everything you get. Really, I have lost count of all the times I have cringed in disbelief as I've watched yet another group of travellers enter the dysfunctional family's shack or the vampire's lair.
Then there is the trope of the reckless person who steps near the fallen body of the apparently killed maniac, just to retrieve something from his pocket, be it a key or a gun. You know that the slumped form is going to suddenly awake and shoot out a hand to grab the ankle of the protagonist before they have even stooped down to the body. Why on earth do they have to linger, especially in such close proximity to the body? Why don't they just make their escape while they've got the chance? You know, I have to laugh to myself sometimes at how utterly ridiculous some of these horror movie scenarios are, and this is certainly one of them.
Finally, I must end by citing an example involving Dracula. Now don't get me wrong. I love Dracula like anything, and regard him as one of my all time favourite movie monsters. But I have to say that even Bram Stoker's immortal creation hasn't always escaped being ridiculed by the curse of the silly horror trope. For example, when Dracula's prisoner – usually Jonathan Harker – enters the vampire lord's crypt and sees a couple of stone coffins, one of which contains Dracula and the others his brides, why doesn't he use his common sense and stake Dracula first? After all, he, Dracula, is the one responsible for all the horror, so you would naturally expect our hero to get the main villain out of the way first. But no, he does not; instead, he calmly bypasses Dracula's sarcophagus and chooses to stake the lesser vampires first. Big mistake. Because while he's wasting precious time dispatching the other sleeping vampires, the sun is going down, Dracula's eyes snap open, and… well, you know the rest. And have you noticed that it's always near sundown – the time when you're rendering yourself most vulnerable to a bloodsucker's imminent rise from the grave – when hunters decide to track down vampires, when they've got all damn day to do it. Honestly!
Silly horror tropes can really irritate you. On the other hand, my word, don't we have such fun pointing them out!

It's interesting that instead of bothering with making a Media Center competitor, Apple is just selling TV shows online for $1.99 and making a slick commission! They're pretty smart. :)
What we have to take into consideration for the home is the following products/services/features Apple currently offers/has:
- Airport Express
- iTunes Network Sharing
In other words:
- Airport Express — Soon to be updated with video support, possibly hi-def, bringing the "media center"-like system to my TV with the same, Front Row remote control that I can carry around the house.
- iTunes Network Sharing — My Mac downstairs in the kitchen can watch content that I've received upstairs from the iTunes Music Store.
So who would pay $1.99 a show? Let's take my situation as an example. I like to watch about 5 to 7 shows a week. That means I'd pay around $14 to own that show, without commercials. $14 x 4 weeks in a month (average) = $56. How much do we pay for cable, with commercials? It tends to vary, but the difference is fairly slim for most with DVRs, Hi-Def digital boxes, and "Third-Tier Digital Platinum Plus" add-ons and the like. If Apple added a hi-def tuner option via Firewire 800, or even built into their Airport Express? Well, maybe not.
I feel that obviously the iTunes system won't replace the television right away, but as more and more people are dropping their cable/satellite systems for online offerings through BitTorrent trackers and local MythTV systems, it'll be interesting to see what kind of marketshare Apple can conquer in the TV market as their library of shows expands.
UPDATE: "Apple: iTunes Video Sales Top 1 Million" [in first 20 days] — Link
What's next for Apple? Buy a movie "ticket" online, and watch it at home in your own "theater"? Hmmm…. :)

City bus has 40-passenger capacity
Stuttgart/Mannheim – Mercedes-Benz delivered the first Sprinter City 77 bus to its launch customer, bus operator Winzenhöler.
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter City 77 is the current top-of-the-line city bus in the Mercedes-Benz minibus range. With a passenger capacity of up to 40, it closes the gap between the Sprinter City 65 and the 10.5 m long Citaro K. Compared to the previous top model in this vehicle series, the Sprinter City 65, the Sprinter City 77 has around one metre more length – all to the benefit of the passenger area – ten additional passenger spaces, a continuous, level low floor in the passenger area and a second wheelchair space. It has this high transport capacity thanks to a permissible gross vehicle weight of 6.8 t.
The chassis of the three-axle Sprinter City 77 has an independent suspension all-round and single tyres. Thanks to its comparatively short wheelbase and slim dimensions, even this largest model in the Mercedes-Benz city minibus range is ideal for narrow inner-city streets. In addition the Sprinter City 77 is highly suitable as a shuttle bus for airports and exhibitions, or for inter-urban operations.
The Sprinter City 77 is powered by a 4-cylinder CDI diesel engine developing 120 kW (163 hp). A five-speed automatic transmission is standard equipment. Meeting the Euro V and EEV emission standards (Enhanced Environmentally Friendly Vehicle), the Sprinter City 77 is set to be the most environmentally friendly bus in the Winzenhöler fleet.
The Winzenhöler bus company has been under family management for three generations, and employs around 50 personnel. With a fleet of 42 buses, Winzenhöler carries several thousand passengers in the Rhine-Main region. The vehicles operate both on regular routes and for excursions and special assignments.

Creates an alias for a fleet. In most situations, you can use an alias ID in place of a fleet ID. By using a fleet alias instead of a specific fleet ID, you can switch gameplay and players to a new fleet without changing your game client or other game components. For example, for games in production, using an alias allows you to seamlessly redirect your player base to a new game server update.
Amazon GameLift supports two types of routing strategies for aliases: simple and terminal. A simple alias points to an active fleet. A terminal alias is used to display messaging or link to a URL instead of routing players to an active fleet. For example, you might use a terminal alias when a game version is no longer supported and you want to direct players to an upgrade site.
To create a fleet alias, specify an alias name, routing strategy, and optional description.
Each simple alias can point to only one fleet, but a fleet can have multiple aliases.
If successful, a new alias record is returned, including an alias ID, which you can

This project was inspired by paper folding techniques and pop-up books our group remembered from our childhoods. We assembled a structure using simple folding as the main construction technique. Using sheets of 4 by 8 feet polypropelene, we constructed an intricate tower with a total height of fifteen feet. The individual elements follow a classic pop-up book folding technique, and are then stacked and intersected with one another to provide structural support. This folding and interlocking method allows for the construction of a tower of such height from sheets that are only 1/8" thick.

Needless to say, when my 17 year old daughter Emmy and I were invited to Disney World by my 18 year old niece Tyler, and my sister-in-lawTonya to celebrate Tyler's high school graduation, I was a bit taken aback. But then, of course, love took over, and I was committed (sorta).
Tonya organized the trip with a 4-day park hopper, which included colorful magic wristbands to keep things moving, along with a dreamy hotel. We even rode the Magical Express from the Orlando airport. While on the bus going to the hotel, I prayed, please Lord help me embrace this adventure. Make me a playful person.

Wow, this could turn into an advirtisement for Disney if I'm not careful! From rejector to embracer. Hooray for Magic Kingdom!
But more than a shout out for Disney, I want to make two quick purposeful observations:
1. There is another Kingdom that exists. Believe it or not, it's even greater than Walt Disney's! This Kingdom begins now by faith, but also speaks of a future where there will be no pain and no tears, there will be fullness joy and abundant peace, and it will be both radiant and spectacular. When Jesus came from heaven to earth, He said, The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news! (Mark 1:15). Interestingly, there will be two kinds of people when it comes to this Kingdom as well: those who embrace and those who reject. Tell me, why can we, the world, so quickly embrace an animated mouse named Mickey and all he offers, but then turn riduculing away from a King that promises us the real truth: that all those who believe in Him will live happily ever after? Read all about it in His Word! It's more than magical; it's majestic.
|playful Emmy, thrilled with her peacock face
2. I'll end this post where I started. Purposeful people need playful people. So all you who consider reading a book as a thrilling experience, put your book down and go find a zippity-do-da friend. Step into their world, let your hair down, be free. Maybe even book a trip to Disney...

Garth Nix
Fantasy/Young Adult
364 Pages
Rating: ♣♣♣♣♣
ABOUT THE BOOKIt's about a young girl named Sabriel, from the Old Kingdom, a Kingdom full of the Dead, that was sent across the Wall to a school away from her birth right and land for safety. When she turned 18, she received a distress message containing items from her Father, the Abhorsen, which could only mean he is already dead or in big trouble. The Abhorsen's task in the Old Kingdom is to lay the disturbed dead back to rest. With the knowledge and skills, Sabriel set out to the Old Kingdom to search for her Father and launched herself into a world of Spirits, Mordicants, Shadow Hands and Charter Magic.
"Five Great Charters knit the land
together linked, hand in hand
One in the people who wear the crown
Two in the folk who keep the Dead down
Three and Five became stone and mortar
Four sees all in the frozen water."
together linked, hand in hand
One in the people who wear the crown
Two in the folk who keep the Dead down
Three and Five became stone and mortar
Four sees all in the frozen water."
THE REVIEWI loved it!
Garth Nix imaginary world is just rich, downright scary, dark yet beautiful. I had to imagine what Sabriel looks like, the armor she is wearing, what her Father, the Abhorsen, looks like and the world she reentered at just 18-years old, fighting the dead, the demons, the evil called Kerrigor; Sabriel seeks her Father's spirit in the Dead world with the help of Mogget, Touchstone, Clayr members and the surviving villagers of the Old Kingdom.
"Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?"
"Be inside by nightfall. Lock all doors and windows. Deny entry to strangers. Shed light inside and out. Prepare candles and lanterns for when the electricity fails. Wear silver. If caught outdoors, find running waters."
"Hope that the Charter preserves us all."
FUN FACTGarth Nix is an Australian author. The book was published in 1995.

The 'Holi' festival is a very fun-filled and popular occasion in the northern part of India. It is an occasion when people smear each other with bright colored powders, which are known as Gulal, and colored water. This festival is celebrated around early March each year. It can be said that 'Holi' festival is called a bright festival as a wide range of bright colors is used during it. The people believe that the bright colors represent energy, life, and joy.
There are many legends given as the reason for celebrating 'Holi'. There is one popular legend that is reputed to bring about the birth of 'Holi'. It seems that long ago there was an evil king named King Hiranyakasipu. His son, prince Prahlad however was very holy and often prayed to God and this infuriated his father. One day, the wicked king ordered his sister, the demon Holika, to kill his son. The demon Holika, who was immune to fire, captured prince Prahlad and entered a fire furnace. She had done this to kill the prince, however it was her who was burnt to ashes. Prince Prahlad was safe and was not burnt at all. The legend goes that before the demon aunt died, she begged for prince Prahlad's forgiveness and the prince forgave her and announced that her name would be remembered once a year. Thus the festival 'Holi' was created.

text: The Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee of the Welsh Assembly is taking evidence today (Wednesday) on its consultation entitled "Selling Wales to the World" which focuses on marketing Wales, creating investment opportunities and supporting export around the world. Ben Cottam, FSB Wales Head of External Affairs will give evidence to the committee today and within FSB's evidence will highlight ways in which Welsh Government can sell Wales to the world. Among them: Welsh Government should develop a Trade and Investment Strategy to work alongside the forthcoming Economic Development Strategy FSB feels that a new and explicit strategy is required to provide a strategic focus for all investment and trade activity and ensure that such activity is aligned to Welsh Government's wider economic development aims such as capitalising and developing domestic Welsh supply chains and delivering a greater return on government spend and its activity as well as growing indigenous Welsh business. The potential for an arms-length trade and investment body along the lines of Enterprise Ireland or Scottish Development International should be considered for Wales. This body would be tasked with developing opportunities for international trade, as well as developing Wales' international brand. It would provide for a more commercial approach to trade and investment activity as well as gather in third parties, including business in partnership to better project Wales' international brand post-Brexit Welsh Government's overseas offices do not seem to have a tangible effect on export performance. Their role should be clarified as part of a Trade and Investment Strategy. Data shows that despite positive overall export performance, the siting of Welsh Government's overseas offices bears little relation to increased export performance in those markets. A Trade and Investment Strategy would give renewed purpose to these overseas offices and direct their role for the future. Increase the ability of small businesses to join trade missions and export new markets Small businesses have, in the past, often felt shut out of trade missions. There have been notable exceptions such as Tiny Rebel Brewery joining the recent trade mission to Japan, but there needs to be more support from Welsh Government to encourage smaller businesses to join trade missions. This will give them the confidence to explore new and emerging markets as well as more effectively showcase the real diversity of Welsh business. Welsh Government should examine the impact of future trade deals as part of its Trade and Investment Strategy. In the future, Welsh Government may have a role to play in informing any future free-trade agreements the UK Government signs in the post-Brexit environment. We would expect the priorities for Welsh Government in this regard would emerge from its trade and investment strategy and would also include a commitment where possible to small business chapters in any free trade deal. Ben Cottam, FSB Wales Head of External Affairs, said: "The consultation on selling Wales to the world comes at an important time for Wales. "There are many small businesses that are already exporting, both to the EU and around the world, and their business is thriving as a result. There are many more that would seek to trade, or to expand to new markets and as we move through the Brexit landscape, increasing this capability needs strategic attention. However, equally, we need to be clear what Wales' offering is and what we seek through opportunities of inward investment. There is a need to better engage the business community in this conversation" "We want to work with the Welsh Government to ensure that small businesses and the development of the SME economy in Wales is front-and-centre of this activity and we provide the best return for Welsh jobs and the economy. Only by a more strategic approach and capitalising on new partnerships can we boost our ability to shine a light on Wales across the world."

Four years ago in Sochi, Kent Callister was a wide-eyed 18-year-old who had no idea what to expect at his first Olympics.
He relaxed, put no pressure on himself, and wound up placing a surprising ninth among 39 contestants in the men's halfpipe snowboarding event.

At the Pyeongchang Winter Games in South Korea, which get underway Friday, the Bend snowboarder plans to use the same mindset as he vies for another top-10 finish next week. Although he's a U.S. citizen, Callister will compete for Australia because he has dual citizenship.
"I'm not really expecting anything," the 22-year-old Callister said last week from Mammoth Mountain, California, before leaving for South Korea.
"I just want to go in, land a run, and have fun, that's all. That's what I did last time. Whenever I put that pressure on myself, it doesn't end up well. I'll just go in there, relax, and just have fun and snowboard. In Sochi I was just having so much fun snowboarding at the Olympics, and I think that's why I ended up in the place I did."
Callister is a longtime Bend resident who grew up honing his craft at Mt. Bachelor ski area. Because his father is Australian, he has dual citizenship, and he decided before the Sochi Games to compete for Australia.
Riding for Australia offered an easier path to qualifying for the Olympics, as the U.S. men's halfpipe snowboarding team is typically stacked with some of the world's best talent.
While he knew he had a strong chance to qualify for the Australian Olympic team once again, Callister did not officially make the team until he posted a 19th-place finish at the U.S. Grand Prix in Snowmass, Colorado, last month. A week later, he made the finals and finished sixth at a Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain.
"I didn't know until after the Snowmass Grand Prix, so it was a bit of a relief," Callister said. "All my hard work has paid off. I'll go into Korea and have fun, and won't put any pressure on myself. I feel like I've done well in the Grand Prixs. I think I can always do better. Sometimes you just have to be happy with how you competed. I'm content with how I rode, and looking forward to Korea."
In 2013, Callister was invited to join both the U.S. Snowboarding rookie halfpipe team and the Australian halfpipe team. He chose the Aussies, and received a scholarship from the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia. The institute is government-funded, and Callister said it provided him more financial support than if he had joined the U.S. team.
Callister was born in San Diego, where his mother is from, and moved with his parents and older sister to Gold Coast, Australia, when he was 5. The family moved back to the United States, this time to Bend, when he was 9.
Callister began snowboarding with the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation and rose through the amateur ranks.
"I'd go ride Bachelor from open to close with all my buddies," he recalled. "I'd ride nonstop. I'll be taking a piece of Bend with me to the Olympics for sure."
Callister's father, Brett Callister, envisioned his son as a professional on another kind of board — a skateboard — when Kent was younger. But the younger Callister's potential in halfpipe snowboarding — a sport in which riders are judged on the difficulty, execution and amplitude of the aerial tricks they perform as they soar in and out of a U-shaped course — became evident fairly quickly.
"I never thought he would have the opportunity to make one Olympics, let alone two," Brett Callister said this week before leaving for South Korea to watch his son compete. "I'm just glad he's getting back there for another experience. He would be only 26 on his third time around in 2022, so hopefully he can make it three."
Brett Callister, who recently moved back to San Diego from Bend, is also excited that his son is competing for his father's home country.
"Obviously, I'm biased being Australian," Brett Callister said. "As his dad and an Australian citizen, I'm pretty stoked to be celebrating the green and gold (Australia's national colors). I just want him to go there and soak in the entire experience of being an Olympic athlete and representing his country. These are things in life that so few people get to experience."
One of Kent Callister's teammates on the Aussie team is Scotty James, who is considered among the favorites to win a medal in Pyeongchang. Shaun White of the U.S., and another Bend rider, Olympic rookie Ben Ferguson, will also be among the top competition.
Callister said he is excited about having two snowboarders from Bend in the same event at the Olympics.
"Ben's awesome," Callister said. "I've been riding with him since we were 14. We've been training and competing for a while. I'm really happy for him."
Callister finished eighth at the Olympic test event for halfpipe in Pyeongchang a year ago, and Ferguson was fourth.
Callister said he has been working with his coach, Ben Weisner of Australia, at Mammoth Mountain for much of the season.
"I think we're trying to focus on really not taking it too seriously," Callister said. "(Weisner) helps me out when I get frustrated trying to do a trick. He'll calm me down and walk me through it."
Callister said the backside double McTwist 1260 — which includes 3½ rotations and was perfected by White — is a trick he might add to his run. But mostly, he just wants to enjoy the experience of another Olympics, an event that includes many of the same riders as other contests throughout the season, but one that has a completely different feel.
"There's just so many people there, and the opening ceremonies and everything … it's very cool," said Callister, adding that he hoped to be at Friday's opening ceremonies. "It's important to just take that all in, have fun, and remember the moment."

The Responsible Art Market Initiative: Guidelines on combatting Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing
The Responsible Art Market Initiative ("RAM") formed in Geneva in 2015 offers the Guidelines on combatting Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing for the businesses transacting in the art market in Switzerland and abroad.
The focus of the guidelines lies mainly on art dealers, who are at great risk of being used by criminals in schemes of money laundering and terrorist financing. Although the guidelines have no legal efficacy, they convey the best practice from the organisers of the RAM. Voluntary acceptance of the guidelines by the art businesses is particularly important in the view that legitimate international art market exists in the environment with no global international law.
The founding members of the RAM include Christie's, SGS, Port Francs, the Art Law Foundation (FDA), Seydoux & Associes Fine Art, the University of Geneva (Faculty of Law, prof. Ursula Cassani), public prosecutor Jean-Bernard Schmid.
Identifying red flags by art businesses as a preventive measure in art transactions allows avoid negligence as opposed to intent, when a red flag is known and ignored. This voluntary measure stimulates self-regulation of the legitimate art market, and also provides protection from criminal clients.
Guidelines available at RAM official website

Houston Middle School Student Is Named A "Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholar"
Houston, Texas, November 9, 2011– Breakthrough Houston and Yellowstone Academy are proud to announce that Roneisha Gamble has been named a "Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholar" by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation (JKCF). Roneisha is a second year Breakthrough Houston student and current eighth grader at Yellowstone Academy. Roneisha's application for the Young Scholars program was supported by a partnership between the JKCF and the Breakthrough Collaborative.
All JCKF Young Scholars have demonstrated excellence in academic endeavors and extracurricular activities, a strong will to succeed, and financial need. The Young Scholars program was founded on the idea that if you give high-achieving students with financial need the guidance and resources necessary for them to excel during high school, college, and beyond, their greatness will emerge. The program provides the most personalized, generous scholarship experience in the nation and includes support for educational experiences like summer programs, distance learning courses, and music and art instruction.
This prestigious and competitive scholarship will fund Roneisha's academic and extracurricular activities through the entirety of her high school career. The JKCF works closely with Scholars and their families to construct a tailored educational program and provide academic mentorship. Over 1,000 high-achieving 7th graders from across the country apply for the Young Scholars Program each year, and approximately 50 students are selected. Past recipients of this scholarship have gone on to universities such as The University of California at Berkeley, Williams College, and Yale University.

October 23,2015
Post date: Oct 23, 2015 7:17:10 PM
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone is enjoying the last vestiges of somewhat warmer weather. It certainly won't last. There is a definite positive energy around DES as we prepare for the colder weather and, as I mentioned in my previous email, we are really moving forward with the delivery of curriculum and students are certainly in full swing now. In today's email I hope to shed some light on the Panorama Survey that your children will be taking next week.
As we prepare for the Panorama Survey, I am hoping to explain why we are conducting the survey. The hope for the use of this survey is to provide another data source for the school to pursue its goal of continuous quality improvement. Although the survey is certainly not a plethora of hard data points such as the Smarter Balanced test or a NWEA test, it does provide teachers and. the school as a whole, with soft data points concerning how the students "feel" about school and how they are learning. This is an untapped resource for us as we have not formally surveyed the students in the recent past. I am encouraged by the use of such a tool as it gives students a greater opportunity to voice their thoughts and feelings about school. We will be conducting the Panorama Survey next week. Should you have any questions about the survey, please feel free to contact me or check out the following link: https://www.panoramaed.com/about.
Speaking of data points, the results of the Smarter Balanced exam will be released to the public at some point in November.I hesitate to give a date as the date has changed more than once. I cannot stress enough how important it is for us to realize this is the first round of the test and in order to provide a comparison, we need to wait for the second round of the test. Again, this is a data point we are able to use to determine the level of success students are experiencing and is only one piece of the puzzle to determine if more supports are needed. When these results are available to you, I will be happy to shed more light on how to interpret them as well as what they may or may not mean.
For those of you who have actively inclined children, you may be interested in the following information provided to us by a DES parent. Concord Hospital will be providing a fairly low cost ImPACT Testing session for students and parents to learn their child's baseline score for concussion testing. Should you be interested in having your child participate, the sign up is located at the following url: https://reg.abcsignup.com/reg/event_page.aspx?ek=0053-0005-50baf269323e4a75862a509cc9a78bdc .
For those of you who may be in the market for a new mattress, Bow Hockey will be having a mattress sale fundraiser on Saturday, November 14 from 10:00 to 4:00 at Bow High School. Should you be interested in viewing the flier, it can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwBP7rCTb5E-cnhwVnZpVnVoX0RvQk9kU1k0eTNYakhmZzhn/view?usp=sharing .
On a much lighter note, the annual Dunbarton Elementary School Halloween Parade will be taking place Friday, October 30 at 1:45. For those who are new to Dunbarton, this is nothing short of an experience. The students are dressed in full costume and the Dunbarton Police Department directs traffic to allow students to literally parade through the center of town. Directly following the parade, students will have activities and parties in their classrooms. Dunbarton trick or treating will take place on Halloween from 5:00 to 8:00 that evening. It is sure to be a great event!
I hope everyone enjoys the weekend and, as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your child's teacher or any of us in the office.
Owen Harrington

So happy to spend nights working as a Mental Health Counselor at a Chicagoland hospital that gives back to its diverse community by treating the uninsured.
So happy to have been placed at a practicum site that challenges me in all the right ways and motivates me to be a better person.
So happy to be completing assignments in this doctoral program while taking additional classes for LPC licensure.
So happy to remain in touch with old friends despite no longer seeing them as often as I'm used to.
So happy to have met the people who have recently entered my life and have given me the privilege of calling them a friend.
So happy to be with myself at my apartment on weekdays and back to the suburbs with my family and friends on weekends.
So happy that despite all the workload, time has been generous to me and has provided me with the opportunity to pursue my interests/hobbies: therapy, magic/illusions, research in neurodevelopmental trauma, karaoke-ing it up with people from all over the world, going on shopping sprees, and netflixing the nights away.
So happy for ministry where my spirituality is no longer on the back-burner but is now on the forefront of my daily life, permeating every aspect of my being.
So happy that even on my best days, my happiest days, I think of God & ask for His blessing just as much as I would on my worst, saddest days.

Slobodan Milosevic's ailing heart has already been checked numerous times; today his judges ordered an evaluation of his mind.
In a court order issued at the United Nations war crimes tribunal in The Hague, the judges requested ''a written psychiatric report'' about the ''mental condition'' of Mr. Milosevic, the former Yugoslav president, who stands accused of genocide and other crimes in the Balkan wars of the 1990's. They also sought an evaluation of the ''strain'' doctors say Mr. Milosevic is suffering as he conducts his own defense at trial, which began in February.
The reasons for the judges' request are no secret: Mr. Milosevic's health problems have already interrupted hearings five times -- causing a delay of almost two months. In the past two weeks, ''exhaustion'' has kept him out of court every day but one. Officials said today that hearings would resume next week.
Zdenko Tomanovic, who heads the legal team that supports Mr. Milosevic outside the courtroom, said he did not yet know what his client's reaction would be. The involvement of a psychiatrist would clearly require Mr. Milosevic's cooperation, but he has often thwarted the court in the past, calling it illegitimate.
''I understand the judges are interested in his mental capacity, his capacity to concentrate,'' Mr. Tomanovic said in a telephone interview from The Hague. ''They may use this as a reason to impose a defense lawyer. There are some precedents in American cases. But Mr. Milosevic refuses to have a lawyer.''Continue reading the main story
Calling on a psychiatrist is unusual but not unheard of, say lawyers familiar with the court's procedures. A Serbian psychiatrist has visited at least two defendants to assess their conduct and was once called in to help a convict cope with a sentence.
From the beginning, the three international judges have pressed prosecutors to reduce the scope of the complex trial, which involves three Balkan wars and may last two years or more. They have repeatedly expressed concern about Mr. Milosevic's health, as his self-defense -- especially his long cross-examinations of prosecution witnesses -- has clearly taken its toll.
With their request today, the judges appeared to raise the possibility that the trial may not conclude in its present form. Saying they wanted a full prognosis on Mr. Milosevic's ''future health and his ability to attend court and stand trial.'' They also asked for a new cardiac assessment; the last one was done in July.
The latest requests stem from the assessment of the prison doctor, Paulus Falke, who informed the court on Tuesday that Mr. Milosevic, 61, still suffered from exhaustion, high blood pressure and stress that affected his state of mind.
''We have to face reality, the trial is taking its toll,'' a court official said. ''It's not surprising. The burden of a trial is enormous, even without a serious heart condition.''
Earlier this month Judge Richard May, who presides over the trial, and his two fellow judges called on prosecutors, independent lawyers and Mr. Milosevic himself to suggest ways to avoid an impasse and help end the trial in reasonable time.
Carla Del Ponte, the chief prosecutor, urged the court to impose a defense counsel ''in order to avoid further disruption and delay and to ensure a fair and expeditious trial.'' By constantly refusing the assistance of counsel, she wrote, Mr. Milosevic ''has inevitably increased the strain on his own health.''
Geoffrey Nice, the lead prosecutor, told the judges that the indictment, covering crimes attributed to Mr. Milosevic in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo in the 1990's, had already reached the ''irreducible minimum.''
Today the prosecutor's spokeswoman, Florence Hartmann, said a full trial was crucial because the tribunal above all ''has an obligation to the victims of the Balkan wars.''
Mr. Milosevic has not submitted any suggestions. But last week he called Mrs. Del Ponte's request to impose a lawyer an ''illegal and absurd'' attempt to silence him. He also complained to the two lawyers appointed as ''friends of the court'' to look after his interests, telling them he preferred morning sessions only. When afternoon sessions are held, he said, he has to wait for an hour and a half in a small, windowless room and returns to prison at 5 p.m.
The friends of the court have not yet made public their proposal. But lawyers familiar with it said it suggests morning hearings only. It also reportedly says that if Mr. Milosevic's health continues to deteriorate because of the trial, it should be terminated ''on medical grounds.'' Finally, if doctors believe it essential for Mr. Milosevic's health, the proposal suggests that the court consider releasing him temporarily.Continue reading the main story

Glenn Gould plays Byrd Gibbons and Sweelinck * FLAC
I recently viewed a documentary about Glenn Gould were he combined performances with his own reflections on performing, the logic in different pieces and the characteristics of different composers. At one time he asks the interviewer if he want to guess his favorite composer. The interviewer tries Bach, and in a technical sense Gould comply but from a original sense he favors Orlando Gibbons more. I had to buy this recording after that, and have noticed that it is not shared. Please enjoy!

Bobby led a dominating dynasty over the course of 34 seasons amassing 377 career victories, the most ever by a div. 1 coach. He is the patriarch of the Bowden family and was 80 years old when he retired after the 2009 season.
Bobby was around football and football fields his entire life, but as a young boy at the age of 13 he fell ill with rheumatic fever and had swelling of the knees. This led to a 6 month stay in the hospital which in turn left Bobby with a lot of free time. Having grown up during World War 2, he started watching shows and listening to radio programs about WW2 and soon became an expert on the topic. He learned a lot about the battlefield strategies of War Generals and this obviously translated into college football coaching just fine. During his youth Bobby was an extreme Alabama Football fan saying "To me there was no other school. I was so avid that I can even remember crying. I remember praying 'God, please help them win." When Bowden had graduated he received a scholarship to play for the Alabama football program, his dream. However he only lasted one semester and then was too homesick and transferred out of Alabama so he could return home to his high school sweetheart, Ann Estock. On April 1, 1949 Bobby and Ann eloped and were married at the ages of 19 and 16 respectively.
From 1909-1947 FSU was known as "Florida State College for Women" and they didn't even field a football team until 1947, some four decades after arch rival Florida got their program under way. Bowden arrived on the scene in 1976 and he would actually spend the rest of his career with FSU even after being pursued by his beloved Alabama Crimson Tide. He became the first coach to ever lead a team to 27 consecutive bowl games, and also had a streak where they won 11 consecutive bowl games. Bowden's FSU teams would have a stretch from 1987-2000 where they finished in the Top 5 of the season's end AP Top 25 rankings. Bobby coached 2 players that won the coveted Heisman Trophy Award, Charlie Ward in 1993, and Chris Weinke in 2000. During the Bowden Era Florida may have been their "arch rival", but the Miami Hurricanes were certainly their "arch nemesis" beating FSU 7 times in 8 seasons, often times being the one thing keeping the Seminoles from a National Championship. Certainly the standout infamous game for the 'Noles and the 'Canes was a 1991 affair where #1 FSU was losing 17-16 to #2 Miami and the Seminoles were poised to take the lead on a 34 yard field goal by Gerry Thomas. Until his kick sailed to the far right, the game would go onto be remembered as "wide right." Coach would reach the pinnacle of the sport in 1993 when they defeated Nebraska 18-16, ironically after the Cornhuskers missed a game-winning field goal attempt. FSU would also reach Championship caliber in 1999, and this time they would do it like no one else before them had. Not only having an undefeated season, but they were the preseason #1 rank. So from coast to coast they stayed #1 all season and finished 12-0 winning the BCS National Championship game 46-29 over Virginia Tech.
"The Truth" Luke 24:25-26 Jesus Speaking: O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken. Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory.
Coach Bowden did have to encounter his fair share of criticism and controversy. He was accused of being too lenient on players. Starting with All-American cornerback Deion Sanders who played in the 1989 Sugar Bowl and helped FSU to defeat Auburn 13-7. This however was after he had stopped going to classes and hadn't taken his previous year's exams. This incident would lead to a rules change regarding attendance and eligibility known commonly as the "Deion Rule." Also in the 1999 season Heisman candidate Peter Warrick and Laveranues Coles were charged with receiving deeply discounted merchandise from a department store. Bowden kicked Coles off the team and suspended Warrick for 2 games. Warrick would go on to catch 6 passes for 163 yards as well as returning a punt 59 yards for a touchdown. In that same game some people were calling for a suspension of star kicker Sebastian Janikowski, who missed the team curfew. Bowden did not suspend Janikowski and responded by saying he didn't have any "warsaw rules" regarding his polish kicker. The biggest scandal hit in 2007 when 61 student athletes from 10 different sports got busted for cheating in an online music course. FSU was hit with four years probation, the loss of 19 athletic scholarships, and they also called for Coach Bowden to have 12 of his career victories vacated. In the end it wasn't due to any wrongdoing on Bobby Bowden's part but due to the suspended athletes having been involved in the victories.
The thing that sets coach Bowden apart from the pack is his faith which gives his team's their confidence and swagger. He says the defining moment in his life isn't winning championships but when he rededicated his life to Jesus Christ. His stoic and overachieving career prompted FSU to name the playing field after their longtime coach. Also in front of Moore Athletic Center you can see a bronze statue of the likeness of Coach Bobby Bowden. After he was retired for a while in 2011 the Coach came out and revealed he had won a battle with prostate cancer in 2007. He kept this hidden initially feeling he wanted to safeguard perceptions of strengths and weaknesses. Not wanting to compromise the moral or confidence in the program. But now post retirement he has found value in sharing his story of survival and helps and inspires others afflicted with the disease. A true champion for Christ is Coach Bobby Bowden of the Florida State Seminoles. Please enjoy the following countdown of 20 amazing and intriguing quotes from the Coach.
20. "Don't go to the grave with life unused."
19. "You can't imagine how many boys I've coached here that became ministers. That has to be just as satisfying as winning a football game. All we got to do is present it. We ain't gonna save nobody. But He will, and all He asks us to do is present it."
18. "He who gets the best players usually wins."
17. "When I recommitted my life, my whole thinking was….God I'm making myself available to You. I think this is what You want me to do, God."
16. "I was raised during WW2. So I became very interested in the military. A lot of these skills and strategies carry over. I get a lot of sayings out of it. Some things that General Patton or Stonewall Jackson said I can use and you'd be amazed at how much the strategy is alike."
15. "I believe young men need a male in the home. Young boys raised need a male figure in the home. It's not what most of them got…somebody to discipline them. I take them to church, have Bible reading with them, and pray at supper. I think that myself and the staff add a lot."
14. "As good as we were, we didn't win a National Championship until 1993, mainly because we kept losing to Miami on missed kicks. I used to get mad because nobody else would play Miami. Notre Dame would play them, then drop them. Florida dropped them. Penn State dropped them. We would play Miami and lose by one point on a missed field goal, and it would knock us out of the National Championship. I didn't want to play them, either, but I had to play them. That's why I said, When I die, They'll say, 'At least he played Miami."
"The Truth" 1 Peter 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfolding crown of glory.
13. "They always said, 'He can't win the big one'. When you finally win it (1993), it was more of a relief. When we won the second National Championship, it was more of an accomplishment, you were the #1 in the country from start to finish, which had never been done before. That was a great accomplishment."
12. "They're going to make mistakes. I made them! I still do! But if it's up to me, and I've got a chance to save someone, and it's the first time they've done something like this….I'm going to give them a second chance."
11. "I guess I'll retire someday if I live that long."
10."To Have the kind of year you want to have, something has to happen that you can't explain why it happened, something has to happen that you can't coach."
9. "In 50 years of coaching, I've never been accused of cheating. Now they want to penalize me for something I didn't have a part in."
8. "It's something we don't talk about. My religion and faith won't let it matter to me. Sure, winning matters in this job. But some record? You're not going to take it when you go, are you? Whoever wins it, wins it. #1 it's either him or me. It's not like there's somebody else ready to step in there. That guy hasn't been born yet."
7. "If somebody mistreats you, treat 'em good. That kills 'em."
6. "I don't care what they say. I'm in charge of 115 boys. If I have 5 get in trouble, I have 110 who didn't. That's a pretty good average, but we'll be criticized for it. That's our society today. I've always been pretty tough. You probably get a little more understanding as you get older, but I've always felt I was pretty tough when it came to discipline. People have always called me a second chance coach, but that's the way I was raised. If people hadn't given me a second chance, I'd have never made it."
5. " He doesn't know the meaning of the word fear, but then again he doesn't know the meaning of most words."
4. "I'm one of those guys that thinks if you don't have adversity, forget about character. Because your character is going to be developed by how well you handle adversity. Now if you never have adversity, how are you going to develop character."
3. "Faith is the most important thing in the world to me. It's the greatest strength I've had. It's helped me get through the hard times. You're not going to win every one of your football games. I've always said I'm not going to make football my God. A lot of coaches put so much into coaching football games that they have nothing left. I've never made football my priority. My priorities are my faith and my dependence on God."
2. "I was a boy myself at one time. If someone had not forgiven me for some of the things I had done, I would never have made it. So I'm coaching these young men, and I know what they go through and the temptations they're faced with."
1. "When I put everything in God's hands, I don't have to worry about anything. I don't have to worry about winning ball games. I want to. I want to win as much as anybody does, but I don't have to worry about this. I know that when I die, I live eternally with my God, so the pressure's off."
I can truly indentify, relate to, and agree with a lot of Bobby Bowden's philosophies and beliefs. I once heard Bowden state "the Bible is the most underutilized tool in all of sports." He is a very compassionate, understanding, driven, and focused leader. He left a great legacy at FSU and college football will never have another. His dedication to Christ and trust in his faith is certainly to be admired. He has changed all the people around him for the better over the course of a great career and served as a great witness for the Lord to so many people for so many years. Hope you enjoyed this look at the life and wisdom of Coach Bobby Bowden. Tell us at F&E if we missed any of your favorite Bowden quotes. God bless, Jesus is King!
"The Truth" 1 Peter 5:5-7 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble, yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Caye Caulker is the perfect place for anyone who's looking for a tropical island that hasn't yet been over-developed and stil has a truly laid-back lifestyle. This small island (roughly 5 miles wide by 1 mile long) just off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean Sea has become a haven for tourists, backpackers, and windsurfers. Though the primary mode of transportation is walking, golf carts and bicycles can also be rented.
The sea has always been essential to the livelihood of the locals in Caye Caulker. Lobster fisheries have been a major industry since the early 20th century. Great seafood is readily and cheaply available at any number of the small restaurants and hotels on the island.
The outlook for Caye Caulker is definitely positive. Being only twenty minutes from Belize City, getting here by either high-speed water taxi or small plane certainly makes connecting to and from the US a simple matter. Property on the north end of the island has already been partitioned into lots and, as tourism continues to grow, the potential for a strong return on investment is good.
Here are a few other great sites to help you dig deeper.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Didn't Want To Come Home From 'Therapeutic' Bahamas Vacation
You know that feeling of dread as you near the end of a vacation? Like you just don't want to go back to work or confront the leak of your new song? Oh, maybe that's just Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. They def didn't want to come home from the Bahamas!
Kim Kardashian, 36, and Kanye West, 39, had the most magical vacation ever in the Bahamas. Yeezy whisked his family, including his beautiful kids North West, 3, and Saint West, 1, away to the Caribbean to spend time on a private island away from all of the hullabaloo. It's no surprise that as their vacation came to a close, none of them were looking forward to returning to America! "Kim and Kanye didn't want to come home from their amazing family vacation in Bahamas," an insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. However, it's more than just regular vacation's-end remorse. See pics of Kimye.
"It was incredibly therapeutic for them and much needed," the insider continued. After his breakdown and Kim's robbery, they are both still dealing with a lot. "Kanye is still battling anxiety and stress so Kim knows he needs trips like this for him to disconnect." Luckily, they plan to make trips like these a lot more common. "She's making sure they go on at least two 'breaks' a year just the four of them," said the source. Unfortunately there seems to be stress waiting for the family at home, since some alleged songs of Ye's leaked on June 5.
The Kardashian family always does it big when it comes to vacations. The whole family will get together and roll out in private jets, plan extravagant events and activities throughout the trip and barely get a second alone. That sounds like a ton of fun, but it's super important to spend quality alone time with your core family sometimes too. That's what the West's have learned recently, and we love to see how they've made each other a priority after a very tough year. Keep it up, guys!
HollywoodLifers, what do you think about Kim and Kanye's trip? Let us know!
