1. Autumnal Equinox
   Mabon, or Autumnal Equinox is being celebrated soon. The Wiccan calendar contains 13 full moons (Esbats) and 8 Sabbats, or days of power, making 21 Wiccan ritual occasions. The Esbats are for celebrating the Goddess. The Sabbats mark the sun's yearly cycle and tell the story of The Wheel of the Year. On this day, the length of night time is equal to the length of daytime.
2. Autumnal Equinox -- Sun
   CMS students measured the length of the shadow of a meter stick at solar noon on the Autumnal Equinox, the first day of fall. They compared their data to measurements made by students from other schools and in other states via the Internet. They ... measured the angle of the shadow. This activity will be repeated on the Vernal Equinox, the first day of spring. Does the Sun always cast the shortest shadow at noon? Is there a connection between the angle of the shadow and your location on the Earth?
3. Autumnal Equinox -- Northern Hemisphere
   The Autumnal Equinox occurs once a year when the sun crosses over the celestial equator moving south into the northern hemisphere. When this happens, it shines equally on the northern and southern hemispheres.
4. Lillian Hellman -- Autumn Garden
   Lillian Hellman's 'Autumn Garden' is in full bloom -- once again Boston Globe WILLIAMSTOWN -- Lillian Hellman's "The Autumn Garden" is the kind of drawing-room drama that ought to creak with old age. In the Williamstown Theatre Festival's perfectly cast and superbly staged rendition... it spins along nimbly, prompting the question, "Where has it been all these years?"
5. Bill Cosby -- Autumn Jackson
   Bill Cosby had ... come under the media’s hard eye in 1997 when Autumn Jackson, a 22 year old woman, claimed that she was his daughter and tried to extort $40 million from him. Although, Bill Cosby admitted to having a one-time fling with her mother, he disputed the paternity claim. She was found guilty and sentenced to 26 months in jail.
6. Eric Rohmer -- Autumn Tale
   The fourth of Eric Rohmer's "Moral Tales" stars Jean-Louis Trintignant as a devout Catholic man in love with a young woman he spies at church.

Standard; Soundtracks: French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; biographies. In French with English subtitles.
7. Harvest Moon -- Full Moons
   Contrary to legend, the Harvest Moon isn't really bigger, or brighter or yellower than other full moons. What's different about the Harvest Moon is that - every autumn - the moon's path across the sky makes a narrow angle with the evening horizon. It's simply a fact of nature, one with a beautiful result. The moon's path in autumn causes the full moon to rise near the time of sunset for several evenings in a row, appearing big, bright and yellow each night.
8. Jose Mourinho -- Stamford Bridge
   Jose Mourinho's shock exit from Stamford Bridge was a result of a breakdown in his relationship with Chelsea, the west London club has said. As fans protested outside the Fulham-based stadium, the Premier League club issued an open letter hailing the Portuguese manager's contribution to Chelsea.
9. The Shawshank Redemption -- Movies
   The movie title (The Shawshank Redemption) differs from that of the novella title (Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption). Frank Darabont on the movie DVD audio commentary explains that the title was changed as Rita Hayworth has little to do with the story, and he wanted audiences to not get the wrong idea about the movie.
10. Indonesia -- Celebes Sea
    Indonesia is a tropical country, and the climate is fairly even all year round. There is no such thing as an Autumn or Winter, the year being roughly divided into two distinct seasons, 'wet' and 'dry'.
