NORTH SYRACUSE -- When people see the elaborate Halloween displays on the property of Stan Munro and Suzi Campanaro, they often tell Munro, "You're lucky you have a wife who lets you do that."

How little they know about the creative couple.

"I say, 'Are you kidding me? She started it!'" said Munro, laughing. "Suzi's the one who pushes me to do it. She says, 'You know you always love it when the kids come by.'"

On Saturday, Munro and his buddy Tony Zelinsky of Brewerton finished building a gigantic dragon skeleton in the front yard of Munro and Campanaro's house at 107 Sandra Dr. in North Syracuse.

The skeleton, made from hundreds of pieces of cheap particle board, wood paneling and Masonite hardboard, took about a week to complete.

"This year wasn't expensive at all; most of it is recycled wood from previous projects," Munro said. "We keep our costs down and labor is free. Tony gets paid in steak."

On Tuesday, Oct. 6, Munro wore a (human) skeleton T-shirt as he repainted black teeth onto the dragon's skull.

Gauzy porch screens drape the wing bones and catch the light as the sun goes down. A 14-bone rib cage, tall enough to walk underneath, tapers down to a massive tail which extends around the entire lawn and wraps around a tree.

"If we're going to make a dragon, we might as well use the whole yard," Munro said.

At least 1,000 trick-or-treaters visit the couple's house each year. In 2007, police had to block off Sandra Drive because so many people came to see the display.

"The neighbors love it, I think, or they're lying to me," Munro said. "We try to keep it quiet, but one year we had a ghost disco and played disco music every night. [The neighbors] may have gone a little crazy that year."

  Halloween Lawn 2015 is ALSO OPEN!!!

A DECADE OF HALLOWEEN HOOPLA

The tradition began in 2005, when the couple built a giant spider with human cocoons on their roof. In the last decade, they've created a different scene nearly every year.

[]

Stan Munro's "Evolution of Execution" display for Halloween 2006.

In 2006, they made a "History of Execution" display, with a working gas chamber and exhibits of lethal injection, hanging, an electric chair and 15-foot-tall guillotine.

"That kind of bordered on disturbing, but it was all for fun," Munro said.

In 2007, the couple's giant spaceship drew the attention of a North Syracuse code inspector, who issued Munro a ticket because he thought they were building a gazebo on their front lawn.

"Once we explained it wasn't permanent, everything was fine," Munro said at the time.

The smoking, flying saucer "wreckage" and its dead alien pilot cost Munro close to $1,000. The dead alien was $400, but Munro says it's "still a member of our family."

He also created a ghost disco (2008), Death Star gas station with Darth Vader (2013) and zombie family (2014), all of which are featured on halloweenlawn.com.

Munro is known around Central New York as the toothpick engineer behind the extravagant Toothpick City displays at the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science and Technology and the New York State Fair.

His toothpicking has been featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not museums in Orlando, Fla. and Branson, Mo.

"These [dragon bones] are just giant toothpicks to me," Munro said.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about Munro's Halloween displays from years past?

answer: In 2005, Munro built a giant spider with human cocoons on their roof. In 2006, they built a "History of Execution" display, with a working gas chamber and exhibits of lethal injection, hanging, an electric chair and 15-foot-tall guillotine. In 2007, their giant spaceship drew the attention of a North Syracuse code inspector, who issued Munro a ticket because he thought they were building a gazebo on their front lawn.

answer: In 2005, Munro and his wife Suzi Campanaro built a large spider's web on their roof complete with human cocoons. This was their first Halloween display. In 2006, they built a large gasoline chamber, complete with everything from hanging (with a rope) to an electric chair and guillotine, as well as other similar equipment, called the "History of Execution" display. A North Syracuse code inspector ticketed Munro because of the display not being a gazebo. Munro was able to explain after the fact that it was not a permanent structure. For the following year, Munro built an alien spaceship out of actual lumber and complete with a dead alien pilot. Some of the alien wreck- including the dead alien- are still considered important family members. Munro says that the lumber was hard to find, and the alien cost him close to $1,000 to make. The following year, he built a ghost disco that featured Disco music, and every year since then Munro has built something new and different, calling it Halloween Lawn.

answer: Munro first did Halloween displays in 2005, but he says "it wasn't much at all" in comparison to the years that came after. In 2006, he made a "History of Execution" display, with a working gas chamber and exhibits of lethal injection, hanging, an electric chair and a giant guillotine. The following year, he made another display with a massive spaceship that drew the attention of a North Syracuse code inspector and wasn't allowed until the Munros explained what it was. Not all of Munro's displays have been flashy or showy-the ghost disco (2008) is a good example. He's also done Death Star gas station with Darth Vader and zombie family, both of which have been on halloweenlawn.com. He's known as the toothpick engineer in the area, and his works have shown at Ripley's Believe It Or Not museums in Florida and Missouri and the New York State Fair.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about Munro's Halloween display this year?

answer: No answer

text: The article was clear about Munro's Halloween project for the current year.

refinement: Munro and his friend, Tony, are building a giant dragon skeleton for this year's Halloween display.

answer: The setup, made from old wood and particle board, was bigger than any previous design. Munro and his friend from Brewerton finished building the dragon's massive skeleton. The skeleton was made from wood and wood paneling, with Masonite hard board for the larger pieces. The team reused wood from previous projects. Munro says that most of the things he does for Halloween are recycled, which helps keep the costs down and labor free.

answer: Munro's dragon skeleton this year is made from hundreds of pieces of particle board, Masonite, and wood. It took about a week to make, and it's not expensive because the couple's construction crew consists of friends who help out without wages because they prefer steak. The couple put the dragon's skull, rib cage, and tail around the garden as a way of using the entire lawn. The neighbors, who always come and look at the display every year, love it. The cost of this particular display was very minimal.

answer: Munro and his buddy Tony Zelinsky of Brewerton finished building a gigantic dragon skeleton in the front yard of Munro and Campanaro's house at 107 Sandra Dr. in North Syracuse. The skeleton is made of hundreds of pieces of cheap particle board, wood paneling, and Masonite hardboard. Munro says it took about a week to complete.

answer: Granted the clarity of the Dragon's skeleton vs. other topics, it should be deleted.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about how Munro's family and neighbors feel about his Halloween displays?

answer: Munro says that his neighbors love his Halloween displays. They appreciate the beauty and creativity of his displays. However, they may be lying to him because he has had a few neighbors who were not pleased with the Halloween displays. For example, one year, Munro and his wife played disco music every night for a ghost disco. The neighbors may have gone a little crazy that year. The text also mentions that the police had to block off Sandra Drive because so many people came to see Munro's Halloween displays.

text: Munro did not exactly say some neighbors weren't happy with his display.

refinement: Munro says that his neighbors love his Halloween displays. They appreciate the beauty and creativity of his displays. However, they may be lying to him because he has some Halloween where he and his friends had been a bit louder than necessary. For example, one year, Munro and his wife played disco music every night for a ghost disco. The neighbors may have gone a little crazy that year. The text also mentions that the police had to block off Sandra Drive because so many people came to see Munro's Halloween displays.

answer: Munro says that the neighbors love it, or at the very least, they aren't complaining. One year, their Halloween display got so popular that police had to block off their street, presumably to control traffic. That may be because they're proud of him. They also decorate their lawn in normal years, but nothing like this. Munro says that they also present "History of Execution" each year, which says that they enjoy doing Halloween.

text:
- The police are not proud of Munro.
- Munro does not present "History of Execution" every year.

For example, one year, Munro and his wife played disco music every night for a ghost disco. The neighbors may have gone a little crazy that year.

answer: The neighbors can be proud of him because he usually designs a new Halloween display for their street each year. However, one year, the neighbors were disconcerted by the "History of Execution" display because Munro said that it bordered on disturbing.

text:
- There is no evidence that the neighbors are proud of Munro's designs.
- The neighbors were not disconcerted by the "History of Execution" display.

refinement: Munro believes the neighbors love his displays but he cannot be too sure as they may be lying to him. He refers to one occasion where he and his friends might have partied too loudly, a situation he believes wouldn't have gone well with the neighbors.

answer: No answer

split: train

text:
I was nervous. I'm new to this so I had two shots of Captain Morgan before I left, that usually loosens me up. The thought of driving passed my mind more than once but decided to take BART because the restaurant was close enough to walk. I choose my purple plaid shirt because it fits me well. I just bought the blazer so I took it with me even though it clashed. It looks good on me so fuck it, if I fake confidence then maybe she'll mistake it for actual confidence. I looked myself over in the mirror for more time than I care to admit. I hated and loved my outfit more times than I care to admit. I changed clothes and changed back. Decided it was too late to be indecisive so I left. Only to come back and change my shoes.
   I almost turned around more times than I can count. I rehearsed the excuses in my head, "I came down with something.", "A family emergency came up and they really need me.", "Oh, that was today? I'm so sorry! Lets reschedule. No? Ok, then. Bye." As much as I dreaded this I was also looking forward to it. She was very pretty from her photos and messaging her was easy. She seemed like a genuine person.  She may have embellished her typed laughter and smiley faces but at least she tried so that in itself had to mean something.
    By the time my stop came around my palms were sweaty and I was a bit lightheaded, "Am I doing this again? How many first dates can I have before I realize that a second one is never coming? At least I'll get some food in me." As hungry as I was the thought of food made my stomach tighten. I stopped in front of the venue. I thought a rooftop bar would be on the roof. Oh well. I was about to ask about the bar when the doorman said there was room for two more at the elevator. I tried to look like I knew what I was doing as I walked passed him and stood with the group waiting for the elevator door to open.
    My Tinder account logged me off on BART because of poor reception and I was hesitant to log on in fear that she wouldn't be there when I signed up again. As the door opened in front of me and an actual rooftop bar lay before me I was stuck and overwhelmed. My doubts and fears tripled as I've never been in this type of venue before, "She's so out of my league that I can't see her with binoculars. This is going to be the shortest date ever. Hope they at least have good appetizers."
    The place was crowded and I couldn't see her. This was made more difficult due to the fact that I had forgotten what she looked like because of nervousness and fear.

I texted her.

Nothing.

I texted her again.

5 more minutes and nothing.

I called her.

"Hello?"

"Hey, I'm here."

"Cool! Where?"

"Over by the elevator. I'm wearing a purplish shirt."

"I don't see you."

Fuck. Really? How hard are you looking? Should I just cut my losses and go?

"I'm just here by the elevator. There's a chair here I'm sitting on. Where are you?"

"Are you sure you're here?"

No. I decided to go to the identical rooftop bar next door.

"Yeah...I think I'm here."

"Let me walk over."

I saw her emerge from the gaggle of patrons.

We locked eyes.

She smiled.

answer: This story illustrates the mounting tension that people like to go through getting ready to go out of their houses and meet up with potential love interests. Such fear and nervousness comes not only from the question, "Will I fit in?" but also acting on being misunderstood. The main character's Tinder logs off and asks if "she'll still be there when he signs up again", indicating that she may have been flaky. There's also the doubt that the date lies in meeting with the person from the outset, something the main character had already done successfully via Tinder profiles. Despite his concern that the date may be a failure, the main  character responds to her confidentially and shares the peculiarity of their evidently abortive meet-up despite repeated confirmation.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Describe what the narrator knew about this woman and why they agreed to go on a first date in the first place.

answer: No answer

answer: The inference is that the man messaging her and her having the conversation and seemingly genuine nature, seems to imply she wants to go on this date and the man is happy. The man is relieved she enthusiastically agreed to go on date as he is a newbie to dating.

answer: No answer

answer: from her profile, the narrator found her to be a "genuine person" who "tried" to be amicable and at least somewhat honest. This put the narrator at ease, so they agreed to go on a date.

text: It is omitted that she was very pretty from her photos and messaging her was easy. She may have embellished her typed laughter and smiley faces but at least she tried so that in itself had to mean something.

From her profile, the narrator found her to be a "genuine person" who "tried" to be amicable. This put the narrator at ease, so they agreed to go on a date.

answer: As the narrator has not seen pictures or heard during their correspondence, the only "knowledge" (and hence assumption) the narrator has of her is her manners and the fact they could build a conversation based on what they share in common. Unlike their social status, which is complicated and steep, the idea is at least they have the ability to converse without too-too many egregious blanks of the sort that are likely to expose more than they realistically ought: something people realistically transfer a lot more than they ought to in the digital age and end up knowing painfully less a lot quicker.

Europe's refugee crisis
Germany imposes border controls

The move, taken to reduce the flow of migrants, undermines Europe's free-movement policies

------------------------------------------------------------------------

GERMANY, only days ago the symbol of European openness in the face of large-scale refugee flows, has reintroduced border controls to “decelerate” the influx of people and restore some semblance of order to their registration. On September 13th Thomas de Maizière, the interior minister, explained Germany’s stunning policy, after giving the order to interrupt train connections between Germany and Austria and to begin spot checks on car traffic across the German-Austrian border.

In effect, Germany is imposing sharp limits on asylum seekers only a week after it had appeared to throw its borders wide open. In the first weekend of September, Angela Merkel, the chancellor, unexpectedly allowed trains to carry refugees from Hungary, where they were stranded, through Austria to Bavaria. More than 20,000 arrived in Munich in that weekend alone. Many were greeted enthusiastically by ordinary Germans eager to help those in need. But Mrs Merkel quickly explained that this was only an “exception” to the existing rules, whereby refugees must in theory apply for EU asylum in the first member state they enter.

As the asylum seekers keep coming day after day—on Saturday more than 10,000 again arrived in Munich alone—Germany says it has hit its logistical limits. The country expects 1m refugees to apply for asylum this year, over four times as many as last year and more than the entire EU took in during 2014. Germany's welcoming stance caused a small rebellion in Mrs Merkel’s own centre-right camp. Various leaders of the Christian Social Union (CSU), the Bavarian sister party to Mrs Merkel’s Christian Democrats, called her open-door policy a “grave mistake”. Speaking on September 13th, Horst Seehofer, the premier of Bavaria and boss of the CSU, suggested the new border controls came at his behest.

What may appear as a capitulation by Mrs Merkel, however, is at least in part also a tactical manoeuvre to press the rest of the EU to accept a quota system for asylum seekers—which they might do later today at a gathering of the EU’s interior ministers. Germany, Sweden and Austria, the countries that have been most welcoming toward refugees so far, have long demanded that all member states share the burden in the refugee crisis. Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Comission, last week put forth just such a plan. France has indicated support. But other countries, especially in eastern Europe, are balking.

In a press conference with Mrs Merkel on September 7th, Sigmar Gabriel, the vice chancellor and boss of the centre-left Social Democrats who are the junior partners in the governing coalition, had already—albeit subtly—nodded at the leverage Germany holds in the policy debate. Germany borders on more countries than any other state in the EU: nine in total, all in the Schengen area of document-free travel. “We Germans have a great interest in keeping these borders open,” Mr Gabriel said. But if Germany’s neighbours don’t help by accepting more refugees, he added, “the debate can very quickly change completely. That would be a politically dramatic reverse for Europe, and I think a mental one too. But it would also be heavy economic blow...especially for those states that are now saying: ‘We won’t participate.’”

The implication is that, barring an EU compromise, Germany may in future reimpose controls on other borders in addition to the Austrian one. Along with more border checks by other countries—the Czechs have also suggested they would begin policing their border with Austria—this could spell the end of the Schengen area and thus reverse one of the most visible achievements of European integration. The immediate consequence of Germany’s border controls will probably be new bottlenecks downstream in the refugee trails—in Austria, above all—and thus even more border closings. The second and intended consequence, however, might be that the EU finally gets its act together and adopts a new asylum regime.

Why Europe's Schengen area is under threat

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize everything relating to the chancellor.

answer: Germany imposed border controls in the wake of Angela Merkel's open-door policy. She created an exception to the existing rules by allowing refugees into the country temporarily. According to the article, she is the most welcoming toward refugees so far.

text: The response is missing a few details about Mrs. Merkel.

refinement: Germany imposed border controls in the wake of Angela Merkel's open-door policy. She created an exception to the existing rules by allowing refugees into the country temporarily.

Germany expects 1 million refugees because of Mrs. Merkel's open-door policy, and it has caused a small rebellion in her own center-right camp, who are calling it a "grave mistake". Her capitulation is a tactical maneuver to press the rest of the EU to accept a quota system for asylum seekers. Mrs. Merkel held a press conference on September 7th about Germany's leverage on other countries in the policy debate on refugees.

answer: It is mentioned that Angela Merkel is the chancellor of Germany. She allowed for the refugees to be reimposed in the first place when European Union (EU) issued their borders open. Merkel then stated that this was an 'exception' to the existing rules and in theory refugees must apply for EU asylum in the first state they enter. The chancellor's conservative coalition has also criticized her open door policy. Germany's chancellor is part of the UN's 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

answer: The chancellor extends the asylum to refugees "an exception" and quickly makes a policy change a week later to curb the incursions entering Germany. Germany is also putting a great deal of pressure on its neighbors to take on these refugees with the threat of their own borders closing.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the article say about Germany's motivation for reintroducing border controls?

answer: Germany had turned a blind eye to its borders until the refugees' influx required conducting passport checks at the border. Germany's policy was to allow asylum seekers to freely go through to other countries for asylum, as in theory refugees should apply for asylum in the first EU country they've entered. However, refugees continued to pile up in Bavaria, and Germany says it is reaching its logistical limit. Germany imposes these controls as a last resort: an ultimatum to other EU members that in Germany's current situation, if something isn't done about refugee asylum then its borders will be shut and Schengen travel will cease to exist.

answer: Germany imposed border controls to "decelerate" the influx of people and restore order to their registration. The asylum seekers and immigrants keep coming day after day and the country is getting to their logistic limits. Many in Germany's own political circle are rebelling against the country's "open-door" policy. That Germany's neighbors don't participate in resolving the crisis could lead to Germany reimposing controls on other borders in addition to the Austrian one.

text: "their" - replace with "its"

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize everything relating to the relationship between Germany and Austria.

answer: Germany has imposed border controls. This move is to reduce the flow of migrants and to restore some semblance of order to the registration process.

text: The response fails to mention any Austrian connection.

refinement: Germany has imposed border controls on the German-Austrian border. This move is to reduce the flow of migrants and to restore some semblance of order to the registration process.

text: Add missing details about the German-Austrian connection.

refinement: Germany has imposed border controls on the German-Austrian border. This move is to reduce the flow of migrants and to restore some semblance of order to the registration process. The immediate consequence of Germany's move will create bottlenecks downstream in the refugee trails, especially in Austria, which in turn, will cause even more border closings from other EU members.

answer: Germany is concurrently imposing border controls on their borders with Austria and neighboring Austria countries.

text: "and neighboring Austria countries." - this seems redundant and extraneous.

refinement: Germany is concurrently imposing border controls on their borders with Austria.

text: "their" - replace with "its"

refinement: Germany is concurrently imposing border controls on its borders with Austria.

text: Add more details about the two countries.

refinement: Germany is concurrently imposing border controls on its borders with Austria to curb the influx of refugees coming from other EU states because Germany has reached its logistical limit. The immediate consequence of Germany's move will create bottlenecks downstream in the refugee trails, especially in Austria.

answer: The border between Germany and Austria has been closed because of refugees trying to enter Germany.

text: "The border between Germany and Austria has been closed" - this needs to be worded correctly to reflect what was written in the text.

refinement: Because of refugees trying to enter Germany via Austria, the German government has imposed stricter border controls on trains and car traffic across the German-Austrian border.

text: Add the missing details about the German-Austrian relationship.

refinement: Because of refugees trying to enter Germany via Austria, the German government has imposed stricter border controls on trains and car traffic across the German-Austrian border. Germany imposing strict border controls will create bottlenecks downstream in the refugee trails which will directly affect Austria.

answer: Germany and Austria have a close relationship in regards to refugees. Germany allowed the transport of refugees through Austria. Although controls were later placed on all orders between them, the neighbors are probably still good friends.

text: "Although controls were later placed on all orders between them, the neighbors are probably still good friends." - a control on all orders doesn't make sense. The countries still being good friends is speculative.

refinement: Germany and Austria have a close relationship in regards to refugees. Germany allowed the transport of refugees through Austria.

text: Add the other details about their relationship.

refinement: Germany and Austria have a close relationship in regards to refugees. Germany allowed the transport of refugees through Austria. However, the large influx of refugees has caused logistical problems in Germany and they were forced to impose strict border control measures to "decelerate" the flow of people. This will cause bottlenecks in the refugee trials that will affect Austria.

answer: Germany just reintroduced border controls to "decelerate" the influx of people and restore some semblance of order to their registration

text: Add a period after "registration" to end the sentence.

refinement: Germany just reintroduced border controls to "decelerate" the influx of people and restore some semblance of order to their registration.

text: Add what will happen to Austria as a result of stricter border controls.

refinement: Germany just reintroduced border controls to "decelerate" the influx of people and restore some semblance of order to their registration. The immediate consequence of this will result in refugee bottlenecks that are sure to affect Austria.

answer: Germany and Austria have a close relationship in regards to refugees. Germany allowed the transport of refugees through Austria. Germany made a move to put controls on all orders between them.

LIGHTING can effectively highlight or understate. With the variety of lighting options available, the fixtures themselves may act as central focal pieces or they may be subtle, drawing attention to a particularly interesting corner.

The smallest details have the potential to add significant character. A traveller’s home can be an ode to his adventures, a collector’s passion may reflect on his walls, adorned with rare pieces, and a nature enthusiast’s living space can sport a fresh green tinge and flowers changing with the seasons.
