Cannon Falls
A cannon fires a shot from a high cliff. where in the cannonball's trajectory is its acceleration the?

greatest? in the beginning? it forms a parabola.
at the end??
where is its speed the greatest? where is its speed 0? is its acceleration ever 0?where??
its a parabola path! A is at the beginning, B a at the vertex, c falling, and D close to the ground....

The cannon ball (once it leaves the cannon) is ballistic. Thus the only acceleration is due to gravity. This means that the accellaration is a constant g (aproximately 9.8 m/s^2) downwards.
If one wanted to be really padantic the cannon ball would actually experience a minute increase in acceleration closer to the ground as the earth's gravitational field is stronger the closer one gets to the ground but in this case the difference wouldn't be mearsurable.

Seasonal Decorating. Is it really practical for the average family to be able to afford to decorate like this?

I know people like Martha Stewart can afford to have a bunch of seasonal things that she stores in one of her many homes, but is it really do-able for me, your average family? I love this book by Seasons of Cannon Falls. What do you all think?

I don't think of seasonal decorating as typing pink bows on pumpkins or running 100% made-in-the-USA raw flax ribbon around a sheaf of low-carbon footprint hay. Or make up your own weird, expensive example. In fact, I think you can decorate seasonally by taking note of what's evocative about each season:

Spring: fresh, growing, green, bright, butterflies and other pollinating insects. Smells: fresh spring floral smells, like lilac, lavender, mint, etc.
Summer: warm, sunlight, very bright, relaxing shade. Smells: the ocean, cut grass, rain, barbecue, pine, etc.
Fall: worn out, twilight, dark, faded glory, harvest, orange or brown, pumpkins, fallen leaves. Smells: "comforting" smells like cinnamon, cloves, chocolate, vanilla, etc.
Winter: quiet, cold, undisturbed, unfertile. Smells: traditional winter holiday smells like evergreen(s), peppermint, etc.

Work these themes when you can. For instance, to decorate seasonally for the fall, distresed woods, dried flower arrangements in old (even rusty) containers, dry leaves, miniature pumpkins can usually be gotten cheap. Bake something that smells good, or even just warm up some store-bought cookies in the microwave. Buy, make or freshen a potpourri with some of the fall smells mentioned above.

You can decorate with light as well. Just reducing the wattage in a couple of bulbs, using zone instead of overhead lighting, and / or turning on the fireplace (if you ahve one) made a difference. And you can decorate with temperature. Making your home warmer makes it seem more inviting. Making it colder can either enhance the "fall" feeling in unoccupied areas of the home while drawing folks to the warmer parts.

Think of decorating as controlling the environment and the experience rather than buying a lot of expensive stuff so that your home can look all "Martha Stewart". If you were Martha Stewart, you'd have thousands of dollars to blow on decorating, but most of us don't have it and don't need it!

Good luck.
