While summer was perfect for short-shorts, breezy dresses, and cute bandeau tops, they just won’t cut it for the frosty mornings we must endure this season. “We need a revolution every 200 years, because all governments become stale and corrupt after 200 years.” When Benjamin Franklin made this controversial prophecy in the late 1700s, a two-hundred-yearold US Government was a difficult thing for most to imagine. However, this nation’s Founding Fathers seemed to take heed of his words, and attempted to create a government that could defy such a limit. Recent events have shown that their visionary system is being tested similar to a few previous times in our history. To keep warm, while still being fashionable (a great challenge for us all), I suggest going for the layered look.

Knit tights and classy fishnets are also super cute and make simple outfits stand out. Sweaters/ Cardigans- knits in muted colors are very stylish and sophisticated and provide just enough warmth while a full on parka may be too warm for fall. Cropped sweaters are also becoming very popular (pair with high waisted shorts over sheer black tights or a fall dress). In addition, rolling the sleeves of a sweater instantly adds a casual-cute vibe to any outfit. Socks: Knee-highs or above-theknee socks are in this season.

All the signs point to one event, Columbus Day. Haha. No. It is Halloween! In honor of this holiday, I have accumulated a small collection of creepy stories that, as implied by the title, are totally true. (Probably, at least, considering I got two off the Internet). These days, average Halloween decorations do not get too intense. If they are hanging from a tree in the yard of a suburban home, they tend to be cloth ghosts that we have seen, like, seventeen times already, hanging from a dozen other people’s trees. In this story, the decoration hanging from the tree was not a cloth ghost, or cloth, or a ghost. It was a corpse. A woman had hung herself from her tree and no one noticed that her decoration was not supposed to be there. It took a day before anyone realized that the decoration hanging from the tree was a real person. This event did occur a few days before Halloween, and people did not consider decorations like that horrendously inappropriate. When my mom was a kid, there was this thing called Western Days where there was a fake hanged person. Still however, dead people eventually rot, which is not attractive. ers, uneven hem etc...). Layering clothes is an easy way to stay comfortable all day long. At lunch, when the sun is out and we're not shivering anymore but in fact sweating, the top layers of clothingsuch as a light knit sweater or cardigan- may be stripped away to reveal that adorable top we wore during the summer (See?

Mr. Goldberg is able to make healthy and delicious meals for a few reasons, including his garden. He grows Asian eggplants, zucchini, varieties of cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and spices. His garden serves as an inspiration to his cooking. He adapts recipes to fit what he has in his house and encourages students to do the same. If you are looking to make a delicious meal Mr. Goldberg encourages you to find a recipe that looks good to you, and if you don’t have all the ingredients, to have fun and substitute what you do have into the recipe. He said to try new things that look healthy and tasty, and then experiment to make them taste even better. Everyone loves a good BLT, especially Mr. Goldberg. His favorite thing to eat is a BLT on fairly tasteless wheat bread, because if it has too much flavor it can take away from the rest of the sandwich. The bread has to be lightly toasted to bring out the crunchiness of the sandwich but has to be soft enough that it will not crumble. With a little bit of mayonnaise and heirloom tomatoes, Mr. Goldberg is set with one of his favorite meals. When asked what he had for dinner last night Mr. Goldberg replied “Pasta with clams and shellfish.” He first heated up oil and put in garlic and shopped celery, and added parsley and minced clams with clam juice. He then added a sea food mix of shrimp, scallops, and calamari served over linguini with salt and pepper.

The cell phone that is so precious to citizens of the modern world suddenly dies, perhaps drowning after taking an unexpected leap into a pond or riding along for a surprise push into a pool, or perhaps suffering death by bludgeoning when that case guaranteed to protect the delicate device inside from any and all damage fails in its duty. For those whose devices have expired, options are limited. While some have insurance for the device that grants them another technological life like in some 80’s arcade game, many others rely solely on the provided manufacturer warranty that expires, conveniently, right when most devices begin to fail: after a year. Many people would say that, upon breaking their phone, they’ll just get one of those free phones that carriers offer. They are perhaps not the best devices, but hey, it’s free! The problem with this theory is that these devices are not, in fact, free. Cell phone carriers subsidize the price of cell phones by taking a portion of each month’s bill payments to pay off the enormous cost of the unsubsidized device. Most smartphones today re- Giant Candy Corn Cookies Recipe by Molly Houston Have you ever helped your mom roll dough into ropes? You can freeze these cookies for up to two months.

This means that, when an individual is not eligible for a new contract and therefore a new subsidized price, has no warranty, and no phone, options begin to look grim. Luckily, for these people, there is hope. Lumia 520 Retailing for $100 off contract, the Nokia Lumia 520 is not by any means a flagship smartphone. It lacks many of the amenities that smartphone users today have become accustomed to, like a flash or a front facing camera. However, it more than makes up for these drawbacks with its incredible performance, solid build quality and miniscule price. The device runs Windows Phone 8, which may not be as familiar a name as Android or iOS (the system behind the well loved iPhone), but which deserves much more attention than it has received. Hardware While the device seems small at first, its screen is a very reasonable 4 inches, the same as the newest iPhone 5 and 5S. Being a Nokia phone, the device is very solidly built and has a reassuring density and solidity in the hand. Although the materials used in its construction are not of as high of quality as some more expenRed and yellow food coloring 2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder Steps1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Page 3 sive devices, the overall feel of the phone is very impressive, especially considering its price. The quality of the device’s components even carries over to its audio output: sound played through headphones on the Lumia 520 was clearer and had a better soundstage than on many competing devices, including an iPhone 5S. Another feature of the phone is a two-stage camera button, which allows the user to wield the 5-megapixel camera the phone possesses with maximum effectiveness. A light touch will focus the image without requiring any awkward onscreen tapping that jolts the phone and disrupts the shot, while pressing down another pressure level takes a shot. Images are captured quickly, allowing blurfree photos of moving objects and changing scenes. A set of “Lenses” allows the user to apply filters and take GIF-like images using only their phone, and can produce some impressive results. Software and Battery Life With the hardware of the device so nice, the functionality of the phone’s software sits as its only possible downside. While its weak processor and 512 megabytes of RAM suggest slowdown and lag, Windows Phone 8 is so perfectly optimized for the lower powered hardware it runs on that every animation in the operating system is buttery smooth, apps launch without a pause, and the camera app opens in less than a second. The smoothness of the device is entirely competitive with devices like the iPhone 5S and outclasses nearly every Android flagship. This kind of weaker hardware also allows for incredible battery life, as no power is being wasted on a quad-core processor or a 5 inch screen. The 520 has no trouble lasting through an entire day of heavy usage, and indeed had 40% battery left when it was plugged in at 10:00 at night after 16 hours off the charge in our battery testing. This is not to say that Windows Phone 8 is not without its downsides. Some key applications like Instagram are missing from the OS entirely, but for every missing app there is a third party replacement that works nearly as well, negating many of the missing features. Although the operating system does take some getting used to, it is fast, lean and efficient when one gets used to it. Another benefit is that no one else will know how to use it, meaning friends will no longer be able to take your phone and change the language to Arabic. Wrap-Up The Lumia 520 does astoundingly well for a device running only $100 off contract. Its combination of solid hardware, a decent screen and camera, dedicated camera button, blazing fast software and killer battery life make it an appealing device even when competing with devices 6 times its price; at $100, it is a ridiculously good deal. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone scrambling for a phone after suffering a tragedy with their old one, those looking for a device to use iPod style, or even those who don’t want to sign on to a two year contract with a $400 early termination fee. Why bother with an iPhone when the Lumia 520 does the job even better for a fraction of the cost? 2. To make cookies, pull off about one fourth of each dough third and roll into a 1/2”-thick rope.

Page 4 TIGER TIMES, October 2013 A Week of Spirit and Tradition By Blake Jamar When we think about October 14th through the 18th at Analy High School, we’re reminded of colorful banners, impressive costumes, and a surprisingly realistic PacMan game on the senior staircase. Yes, of course, it was the fall spirit week. Spirit week is held annually to excite Analy students for the Apple Game, the yearly football showdown against El Molino, which never fails to generate lots of excitement. I talked to Analy senior Molly Foster, who said, “Spirit week definitely has to be one of my favorite times of the school year. It has lots of fun theme days for everyone!” Right she is, because this year we had five whole days for people to show their spirit. On Monday, students came decked out in El Molino nerd gear, sporting pocket protectors and taped up glasses with red and black as far as the eye could see. Tuesday was support your cause day. Popular causes included breast cancer awareness, save the oceans, and dance. Wednesday was Decades Day. Each class was assigned a decade to represent, with freshmen getting the 1920’s, sophomores the 1950’s, juniors the 1960’s, and seniors the 1980’s. While not everyone dressed up, it was clear to see that every class had their share of spirit. On Thursday, each grade was assigned a color and given the task to wear as much of that color as Thursday, before the Apple Game at the rally, seniors demonstrate their pride by creating a sea of blue. materials to show their AHS spirit. to their respective grade’s theme. they could.

TIGER TIMES, October 2013 College Simplified By Madeline Camilleri As October is coming to an end and November is approaching, most of us are preparing to pull down our Halloween decorations from the attic and are making plans for the upcoming autumn festivities. While this is true, to most seniors, these two months are characterized by the college application process that stands to fill up every spare moment. Although college applications are usually only a senior designated activity, the preparation for those college applications is an activity all grade levels can participate in. This message is driven home by the College and Career Center here at Analy, which strives to introduce students to the college process through college visits, counseling, and its website, which provides information from scholarships to tips on writing a college admissions essay. Ms. Mansfield is the brains behind the College and Career Center, and diligently works to connect students to the endless possibilities available to them after high school. Despite being here at Analy for only three years she has made a big impact on the school. Before her time here, she has been a career counselor for various other colleges. Among these colleges is UCSB, where she worked in admissions counseling. Currently, she reads application for UC Davis. Her qualifications include a Master’s Degree in College Counseling and the years of experience working with students and colleges. Students are highly encouraged to sign up to meet with her in the front office, where she can answer questions, help with career exploration, and read personal statements. Because of her experience in the college admissions community, she has done a tremendous job in connecting students to various colleges and simplifying the process. This year alone there were twenty six college campus visits to Analy. A few popular names on the list include USC, UCSC, and University of Colorado Boulder, California College of the Arts, Boston College, University of New York, University of Oregon, Puget Sound, and University of Washington. As can be gathered from the list, Ms. Mans- Page 5 field works to bring a wide range of schools to Analy from private to public and state universities all across the country. These presentations are meant to be taken advantage of by the whole student body, not only the juniors and seniors. It is never too late to start planning for the future. Perhaps the biggest turnout for the college visits this year was the presentation given by Humboldt in October, where more than one hundred students attended. CSU Humboldt is located in none other than Humboldt in Northern California. Similar to Sebastopol, the university is recognized for its environmentally friendly vibe and boasts outstanding programs in natural resources and sciences. While the college campus visits are a big role of the College and Career Center, the website is an equally important part. This essential tool can be found on the Analy web page under the counseling tab. Here, students will find numerous links to available scholarships, upcoming college events at Analy, information about internships, financial aid, up and coming careers in California, and personal state- In the top left, bottom left, bottom center, and bottom right picture, students flashback to the 50’s, 60’s, 80’s, and 60’s again.

As life continues to become more complicated, students need to utilize all the resources around them, so as to have a chance in simplifying the process. All too many times, have high school students sacrificed a night’s worth of sleep worrying about the future. According to Ms. Mansfield, “It is important that students receive up-todate and current information about colleges and how admission to colleges has changed significantly over the past six years.” With this being said check out the website and the upcoming opportunities, as you will be amazed with the vast information available and watch some of your worries about the future slip away. TIGER TIMES, October 2013 Page 6 “Reboot” from p. 1 tablished rules in order to maintain their “party line” and remove the potential for an unwanted compromise. A recent video of a meeting of the House revealed that, in an effort to prevent the passage of a bill that could restart the government, the majority had voted to repeal a congressional rule that allowed the minority to call a vote on a bill. In doing so, they effectively prevented any bill not supported by the majority from even being considered, let alone passed. Lacking this ability, the passage of a measure to restart the government has become remarkably difficult. While such attempts to eschew long-standing government rules are not unheard of, they have always been quite rare, and should not be taken lightly. One of the founding principles of the United States, going back to its very birth in the Revolutionary War, was republicanism. Not “Republicanism” as in relation to the current Republican Party, but the concept of leaders putting aside their personal desires and biases to work for the good of the nation. This philosophy is integrated quite deeply into our current government system, and so is demanded of those involved in it if it is to properly function. When recent events are taken into account, it unfortunately becomes clear that republicanism has become a difficult trait to find in our leaders. In our current, politically polarized government, the general attitude seems to be to stand by the edicts of one’s party, regardless of the harm this may cause the nation. Such refusal to compromise is quite contrary to the ideals of the Founding Fathers, who designed our government, and so fits poorly with the system they invented. Taking this into account, deadlocks, such as the one that led to the recent shut- October Horoscopes By A Congregation of Alligators Aquarius January 20 -February 18 If you work hard this month you will benefit from your efforts.

The truth is that even the Analy Cross Country Team wouldn’t disagree with the physical, and sometimes mental, toll running takes.

The U.S. Government is now wellpast its two-hundredth birthday. While it almost certainly will, with much groaning and complaining, find a way to get through its current affairs, its growing inefficiency is becoming difficult to ignore. Perhaps the shutdown may serve as the wake-up call needed to bring the increasingly paralyzing political partisanship in Washington to the public attention, so that it can finally be addressed. Perhaps, then, it may in truth be a blessing in disguise, setting the stage for a return to greater effectiveness in government.

In the girls’ race, Analy Varsity was led by Molly Foster and Emma Douch, 3rd and 4th out of 52 runners. Analy took 2nd place overall, bested only by Casa Grande. This is a promising start for the Analy Cross Country team. This year at the Viking opener, Analy placed higher than it has in the past 5 years.

TIGER TIMES, October 2013 Metamorphoses By Fifi Perkins It’s been hectic this time of the month, for all our phenomenal actors and actresses at Analy High School have been putting their best effort towards preparing for this fall's drama production. Analy has a reputation for putting on outstanding productions, and all the stars of this play are sure to live up to our expectations this fall. People come from all around Sonoma County just to see and appreciate Analy's fine theatre arts, so take advantage of the fact that the play's being put on right here at home for everyone to see! This year's fall play is Metamorphoses, and it’s based on Mary Zimmerman's adaptation of Ovid's Greek myths. The play consists of several different stories and myths, but what's most intriguing is the fact that all scenes are taking place in and around a built-in pool on the stage. That's right, for this play, they built an actual pool on the stage. Water is extremely symbolic and very important for this show. Nothing else can be given away– everyone will have to see for themselves how this pool will be used in the play! A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into building the set, considering the fact there's a pool. When everyone comes to see Metamorphoses, they must make sure to admire not only the play itself but the quality set! Those who are a part of our wonderful cast are: Rowan Abbott, Katie Imbach, Madi Philips, Evan McDonnel, Dylan Jones, Sabrina Blais, Allie Orth, Rebecca Westling, Johnny Schoen, Malachi Cronshey, Ally Cline, Sophie Carbone, and Celina Kegerreis, along with other crew members. Let these Analy students blow your mind as they have their characters come to life on stage. The dates that Metamorphoses will be showing are November 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 22 & 23 at 7 P.M. in Analy's Auditorium. The matinees are on Saturday, November 10th and Sunday, November 16 at 2 P.M. Options are to pay online at brownpapertickets.com or at the door. General admission online costs $10 for adults and $7 students/seniors. At the door, general admission costs $13 for adults and $10 for students/seniors. Keep in mind there is limited seating! Just as they do each year, the Analy Students in this play have dedicated themselves to making sure the show is entertaining, delightful, and lively. There's no doubt that all their hard work and dedication will pay off, so make sure to come and support the students who made this marvelous play possible. Page 7 “Barlow” from p. 1 and wine sellers. Continuing the alcoholic trend, two breweries and a distillery have opened, hoping to encourage more a nightlife than is present in the rest of Sebastopol. As an appeal to a younger crowd, opening soon there will be an ice cream and frozen yogurt shop that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze its treats and the Juicer will be opening, offering, as its name suggests, juice. As far as food goes, Village Bakery and popular Sonoma County restaurant Zazu will both be moving to new locations in the Barlow. Two markets or food stores will be opening, as well as an herb and spice shop and a new permanent location for the Sebastopol Farmers Market. Guayaki Yerba Mate will remain in the area, offering its popular South American mate. Taylor Maid Farms will be returning to the building it was founded in, in 1995. The area includes many forms of art, both traditional and industrial. There is a Tibetan art studio and gallery as well as one or two traditional art galleries. There is also a glassblowing studio and bronze art foundry, reinforcing the industrial appeal of the architecture. Many smaller shops are scattered through the area including a bookseller, a Waldorf toy store and a yoga and dance studio. Teacher Insight: Mr. Carpenter in college. Interviewed by Ashton Fandel I'd have to say Mr. Forslund and Mr. Carter. We're the same age and have a lot in common. Ms. Ambrose is my new favorite, though! Who is your best teacherfriend at Analy? What has been your best Halloween costume? My most memorable was probably when I was in eighth grade and wore a dress and heels and my mom put mascara on my really long eyelashes. Did you have long hair at the time? It was more like an afro. In the eighth grade I combed my hair with a pick. I wasn’t quite cool enough to leave it in there, but I walked around with it in my pocket. Corn maze or haunted house? Corn maze, definitely! This isn’t a funny response, but it just makes me think of my little kids, and those were really fun memories. My wife and I were sad driving by the pumpkin patch the other day, because the kids don’t want to go anymore. If you could attend a free seminar on something, what would it be? I'm a history nerd, so I'd love to listen to a lecture by Gordon Wood, an expert on Colonial and Revolutionary American History. If I was in a lighter mood, I think a talk given by David Sedaris would be fun. What TV show do you most closely relate your life to? I think the obvious choice for a TV character most like me would be Walter White of Breaking Bad. When did you start playing guitar? I started when I was a sophomore Really, The Barlow is an attempt to reinvigorate and reinvent an area of downtown Sebastopol that was all but forgotten. In this way, it has succeeded in turning what was once an eyesore into a new possibility for our town. How would you describe your social status in high school? High school is lame–I was into sports, but I’ve been a reformed jock the rest of my life after high school, trying to become an intelligent, thoughtful person. You can still see my picture on the wall at El Molino. You can say I peaked in high school, which is really sad. It’s been downhill since then. What is something interesting about yourself? I play guitar and sing in a band called 'Love Handles'. I don't know if that's interesting, but we’re available for wedding anniversaries and bar mitzvahs.
