The 9 Stages of Halloween Appreciation Throughout Life
One day you will wake up and find that your favorite holiday has changed. For instance, most of you can mark the end of childhood by the year that Christmas went from an orgy of gift-opening awesomeness to a tense slog of shopping and traveling. But there is no holiday that so perfectly marks the various stages of your life like Halloween. Let's take a stroll through what you'll be saying at ...
Ages 1 to 3
Hey, what are you doing? Am I in trouble? Oh, I see, it's a bath. Wait, no, a bath is when you take things off of my skin. This is the opposite of that. What are you putting on me? Is ... is that makeup? I'm confused -- just last week, you yelled at me for doing exactly this thing that you're doing to me right now. Is it some sort of punishment, like when you made Chad smoke that whole pack of cigarettes after you caught him smoking one?
Wait, where are we going? No, no, no, no, no. You've made it abundantly clear that I'm not allowed out after dark. And it is anything but light outside right now. I'm tired. I just want to go to bed, but you don't seem to understand that, so I think I'll start screaming now. That generally works. Here I go. WWWAAAAHHHHH- holy crap, is that candy? At night? Really? Is ... is this a trick? OK, well make sure you get me some more of this. I'm just gonna crash here in the back seat until you're done with whatever it is you're doing.
Ages 4 to 7
Man, I have been begging my mom to let me dress like a robot for virtually my entire life, and now that the opportunity is finally here, can I handle it? Do I have what it takes to handle that kind of power and responsibility? I mean, seriously, this is the one night of the year that I get to dress however I want, and instead of people punching me and calling me names until I cry blood, people give me candy, and it's totally expected that I eat it all. How crazy is that? Whoever came up with this holiday is a genius!
Oh, dude, it's my teacher's house! How cool is that? I've never seen her outside of class before. It's kind of weird and exciting at the same time. I never really looked at her as a normal human before with a life outside of class. But there she is, handing out candy to little kids and smiling and having fun and not teaching any of them math. I have to go trick or tr- oh, man, someone vandalized her yard! Who would do that? I wonder what she did to make them mad? I hope she filed a police report.
No judge. No jury. Straight to the executioner.
That's weird, she doesn't look mad. Man, I would be. If that stuff gets wet, it's going to just stick to everything. And is that soap on her windows? That's not how you wash windows at all! It doesn't even look like they used water. Just sort of rubbed the bar all over it. I'm not even a professional window cleaner, and I know that's not how you do it.
Oh, I know! After this, we should stop by grandma's house so she can see my costume. I know she'll have candy, too, because she always has those little dishes of them on the coffee table. I bet on a holiday like this, she just goes nuts and springs for the good stuff.
Ages 8 to 12
Listen up, guys, we have three hours and 15 minutes to cover a 12-block radius. If you don't count the shitty, poor section of town, we could easily have that covered with time left over to TP the shit out of our teacher's lawn. I'm so sick of that bitch's shit, and this year we're going to reap the sweet fruits of revenge with some good old-fashioned vandalism.
You'll notice that my little brother is here. Mom is making me bring him along, and I've been told that I have to keep a close eye on him. But make no mistake, if he starts slowing us down, we will absolutely ditch him and tell her that he wandered off on his own. If we play the guilt card and tell her that she had no business making kids as young as us watch him, we should get away with it.
"Yeah, be thankful it's still light out, you slow piece of shit!"
Quick rundown of the rules, and then we'll head out. 1) If you hit up a row of houses that are handing out shitty green rock candy, give the rest of us a heads up so we know to skip it. It means we're in old people territory, and we're just wasting precious time. 2) The same goes for popcorn balls, candy corn, fruit or any food that can be made in someone's oven. 3) Under no circumstances are we to stop at any of our grandparents' houses. They'll want to take pictures, and by the time we get out of there, we'll have pulled an hour right out of our assholes, set it on fire and pissed on the smoldering ashes.
Most importantly, we start at the rich section of town right at the beginning of the evening. And where do we end the night? That's right, the same rich section. Enough time should pass for them to forget we were there, and whatever candy they have left, they'll be getting rid of by the handful. Let's break, and remember: If you find a house that's giving out full-sized candy bars, you fucking damn well better let the rest of us know.
"Just put it in the bag, lady, I've got shit to do."
Ages 13 to 18
Sooooo ... when is it no longer appropriate for us to beg for candy? Like, hypothetically, if I were to dress up and go out with my friends, and we -- just as a goof, mind you -- just decided to knock on a few doors, and- no? Well, understand that we'd just be doing it ironically, you know, because we totally know that we're too old to be trick-or-treating. I mean, think about it -- wouldn't it be hilarious if we knocked on someone's door, and when they opened it, expecting to see children, they'd find us there instead? We're almost adults, but there we'd be in our little kid costumes, and- no?
Yeah, I guess you're right. It's high time we grew up and found some more adult things to do, like maybe go to one of the 10 million Halloween parties happening around town. No, we totally understand that we're too young to drink, and that the actual adults don't want a bunch of high school kids hanging around them while they're getting drunk and showing each other their genitals ... or whatever it is that adults do.
Maybe we can just ... I dunno. Maybe just stay home and hand out the candy to actual trick-or-treaters. No, it's cool, we'll be fine. I mean, it's not like every other age group in existence is having fun tonight. To be totally honest, I was looking forward to watching that Halloween and Pumpkinhead marathon. Or maybe that Charlie Brown cartoon they play every year. Yeah, I'll be fine -- you guys go out and have fun. Um, Mom, do you think that before you and Dad head out, you could maybe zip up your fucking top about 10 inches or so? Since when did Halloween become "show as much of your tits as you possibly can without going to jail"?
"Let's go, the booze isn't going to drink itself!"
Ages 19 to 28
I have to fuck that chick who's dressed like Minnie Mouse with enormous fake boobs. I have to. And it'll be hilarious, too, because I'm dressed as a woman. Look at the size of the boobs I've created for myself! Man, my friends had no idea what kind of wacky hijinks they were getting into when they asked me to come along. You put me, Halloween and a little booze together, and it's guaranteed to be a crazy night, because I am a wild man! Wooooohoooo! I bet they think I'm crazy. Because I am! What kind of man dresses up as Dolly Parton? Not a sane one, I'll tell you that much right now.
Fuck, this wig is hot. Maybe I should slow down on these drinks. Eh, fuck it, you only live once. Oh shit, a total stranger just walked up and squeezed my fake boobs! That guy is hilarious! I wonder how many people I can get to motorboat them. I'm going to just start walking up to people around the bar and thrusting my boobs out at them. They'll love that.
Oh, man, the big boob Minnie Mouse chick is coming over. I have to f- wait that's a dude! He can't do that! The fake boob thing was my idea! This is bullshit. I'm gonna demand that he change his costume right now. I'm not normally a fighter, but I will fuck him up if he ruins my night. Wait, I don't think he realizes I'm a guy. Oh, man, I have to prank him. I wonder if I could blow him before he realizes I'm a dude.
Oh, God, I'm gonna puke right now. Bathroom, bathroom, bathroom, bathroom!

In this week's Kerrang! magazine, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong reveals that the punk heroes have already started work on the follow-up to last year's 21st Century Breakdown.
Despite making fans wait five years in between 2004's American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, Armstrong promises that the as-yet-untitled follow-up will be completed sooner rather than later.
The vocalist says that the punk trio used their downtime wisely during their European tour last October, spending their time off between arena shows in recording studios across the continent rather than sleep their days away in luxury hotels.
"We did some demos in Berlin, some in Stockholm, some just outside of Glasgow and some in Amsterdam," he tells K!. "We wanted get [the songs] down in some early form."

noun: A sandwich made from two Pringles chips and a creamy Reddi Whip center. It is good snack for a little 'pick-me-up'. To make a colbert you will need two Pringles chips (preferably orignal, but any flavor will do) and a can of Reddi Whip whipped cream. Simply take one chip, spray a thick layer of whipped cream onto the chip and then place the second chip on top. The colbert's creator highly endorses the tasty sandwich saying, "There is nothing wrong with that."
"That colbert really stays with ya."

This town is located right outside of Spokane Washington. This upper-class, suburban community boasts its large homes, multiple Home Owners Associations (HOA), and suburban feel. After looking past many joggers, dog-walkers, and strollers on the sidewalks, you'll find the many up-scale neighborhoods with names to match. Neighborhoods like Legacy Hills, Wellington Heights, and Golden Eagle Estates are just a few of the luxurious neighborhoods.

Our challenges
We've seen first-hand how the health and security of people, wildlife and the environment are all interlinked.
Our passion for safeguarding the natural world has to be backed up by other environmental action.
Tackling the urgent threat of climate change and promoting sustainable use of resources by helping to change the way we live are just some of the ways we're helping develop a world where people and wildlife thrive.
Climate change
The planet has warmed by an average of nearly 1ºC in the past century. This might not sound much, but on a global scale that's a huge increase that's creating big problems for people and wildlife.
As the planet heats, climate patterns change, with more extreme and unpredictable weather across the world. Many places will be hotter, some colder. Some wetter, others drier.
Discover more about climate change
Illegal wildlife trade
The illegal wildlife trade is a vital and urgent part of our work at WWF.
Illegal wildlife trade is one of the biggest threats to the survival of some of the world's most threatened species. In fact it's second only to habitat destruction as a cause of loss for many species.
Worryingly - there's been an unprecedented spike in illegal wildlife trade across the world in recent years.
Discover more about the illegal wildlife trade
Our forests are in crisis. We've lost half the world's forests, and only a tenth of what remains is protected. Each year we lose another area the size of England.
Forests are home to as much as 90% of the world's land-based animal and plant life. They provide food, shelter, fuel and income to 1.6 billion people. Forests also regulate the climate and water cycles and preventing soil erosion
Discover more about forests
Rivers and lakes
Freshwater ecosystems store and clean the water that's essential for people and wildlife.
But we've been careless with this vital resource. In the last century we've lost many of the world's wetlands and their species.
Over the last 50 years, the frequency of severe flooding and the damage caused have increased, partly because of damage to freshwater ecosystems
Discover more about rivers and lakes
Oceans and coasts
On our beautiful blue planet, the sea covers more than 70% of the surface. Far more species live in the oceans than on land.
The marine environment provides livelihoods and food for hundreds of millions of people.
Only 1.2% of our oceans are officially protected - something that urgently needs to change.
Discover more about our oceans and coasts
Safeguarding wildlife
With nearly a quarter of all mammal species and a third of amphibians threatened with extinction, there's an urgent need to safeguard wildlife and the places in which they live.
Protecting the world's species and their habitats lies at the heart of our mission to conserve the earth's biodiversity.
Discover more about the wildlife we protect
Changing the way we live
Globally, people are using about 25% more natural resources than the planet can replace. In the UK, we're consuming three times our fair share of the planet's natural resources.
We're seeking a One Planet Future where both people and nature thrive within their fair share of what's available. We are developing a range of One Planet sustainability initiatives to support this goal.
Find out how we're changing the way we live
Poverty and the environment
If we're going to reduce poverty in the long term, we need to recognise how it's linked to the environment. We all depend on the services nature provides – but we often take them for granted.
Poorer communities are most affected by ecosystem decline. The livelihoods of more than one billion people depend directly on natural resources.

Various Artists
Sound City – Real to Reel
Three stars (Out of four)
Dave Grohl's film and attendant soundtrack for "Sound City – Real to Reel" are both love letters – not just to a time in rock 'n' roll history when bands recorded mostly live-to-tape in recording studios, but also to the recording and mixing board housed in the now-closed Sound City Recorders, where Nirvana recorded "Nevermind," and everyone from Cheap Trick and Tom Petty to Guns 'n' Roses and Metallica made records. Grohl loved that Neve recording console so much, he bought it. And with this collection of "Jams with Dave" that serves as the documentary's soundtrack, he put it to good use.
Don't expect some painstakingly assembled masterwork here – these songs were written and recorded quickly, performed live and left as they were, warts and all. Which was the point. Grohl and the guests he assembled wanted to make a record like they used to make when Sound City was still open for business.
Those guests are all over the rock map, to be sure. There are seasoned rockers, (Stevie Nicks, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, Rick Springfield), indie-rock mavericks, (members of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Alain Johannes of the criminally overlooked art-rock outfit Eleven), alternative icons (Trent Reznor, members of Queens of the Stone Age) and more metal-oriented acts (members of Slipknot and Rage Against the Machine). But all share a certain nostalgia for warm, organic tones of the sort Sound City produced regularly during the 1970s, '80s and '90s.
The glue that holds all of this disparate music together is the terminally effusive Grohl, who is the only musician who plays on every track. All but miraculously, "Real to Reel" works as an album, its sonic continuity acting as connective tissue binding together the works of stylistically diverse artists.
The best tracks – opener "Heaven and All," a collaboration between Grohl and two-thirds of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club; Nicks' haunting Fleetwood Mac-meets-Foo Fighters' parable "You Can't Fix This"; the Paul McCartney/Nirvana corker "Cut Me Some Slack"; the surprisingly awesome Springfield-steered power-pop gem "The Man That Never Was" – sound like glorious jam sessions, strong songs recorded quickly before the initial glow of inspiration dissipated amid the focus of forensic, mistake-free recording. Which is to suggest that "Real to Reel" strikes a blow against the empire of contemporary record making.
Roughshod in spots, but never lacking in passion, this beautifully recorded collection isn't just a celebration of what once was – it's a reminder of just what is lost when technology is allowed to stand in for actual talent.
No, they really don't make 'em like this any more. But they should.
–Jeff Miers
Jonathan Biss
Beethoven, Piano Sonatas Vol 2
Three and a half stars
I feel proprietary about Jonathan Biss because, thanks to an appearance he gave courtesy of the Buffalo Chamber Music Society, I can say I knew him when.
When he spoke with The News it was 10 years ago; he was 22. At 32, he is growing nicely into the artist everyone predicted that he would be. Biss has a refreshing lack of ego. You do not get the sense that he thinks that the music is all about him. He even has a Kindle Single book out about his love for the Beethoven sonatas. There's humor in it, and struggle.
So it isn't pretentious of him to be working on a Beethoven recording cycle. You can imagine this as the first of several tries. I do not think he would mind that.
This disc comprises the Sonata No. 4 in E flat, Op. 7; the "Moonlight" Sonata Op. 27, No. 2; the Fantasy in G Minor, Op. 77 and the Sonata No. 24 in F sharp, Op. 78. Biss' playing is direct and unfussy; high praise in my book. It is great to hear a pianist who does not sound as if he wants to reinvent the wheel. He gives the music sincerity, the best you can ask when it comes to these masterpieces. I like his style; always have.
– Mary Kunz Goldman
Lorraine Hunt Lieberson with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra
[Yarlung Records]
Three and a half stars
Since her death from cancer in 2006, mezzo soprano Lorraine Hunt Lieberson has been endlessly eulogized in word, song and recording. Now, she is known simply by "Lorraine." She was associated with intense projects, many with director Peter Sellars (including a performance of "Ich Habe Genug," Bach's famous cantata about death, in which she was scripted to perform in a hospital gown). "Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut" ("My Heart Swims in Blood") is characteristically uncompromising.
She announces the cantata's grim opening line with stark, fevered drama and continues in her uniquely committed way – it's as if she steps into the music. Interestingly the cantata was recorded in one giant track, encouraging you to sit through all the parts of sorrow, confession and penance before the sun finally comes out with the joyous, dancing aria of forgiveness.
It's a wonderful performance, perfect for Holy Week. Music Director Jeffrey Kahane and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra are graciously attentive throughout – oboist Allen Vogel partners Lieberson beautifully – and preface the cantata with a bouncy, light-filled performance of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3.

NCAA sues to stop state limit on destination of Penn State fine
February 21, 2013
HARRISBURG (AP) — The NCAA wasted no time in challenging a new Pennsylvania law designed to keep the $60 million Penn State fine over the Jerry Sandusky scandal in the state, filing a federal......
Why is the NCAA involved with funding "Child abuse prevention"? That sounds fishy to me.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
this is all bull crap.. the lawsuits need to stop. the innocent are again the ones being affected here.. the players and students arent the ones who did the crime,,, or covered it up.. they should not be the ones affected.. and neither should the students present or future. you know with all the cost its costing psu for sandusky and now this... the tuition will go up even more. its already too expensive. whats rediculous is the president of the U makes over a half a mill a year, and.. im sure a full benefit package. also.. rediculous.. no wonder american students cant afford to go, or are in debt with student loans until their 40s
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If the NCAA truly only cared about making sure this money went to help children of abuse, then they should have no problem with the legislation Corbett passed. I think this makes the motives of the NCAA appear suspicious, as it should.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I'll have to disagree with that. What the University did not do is represent the people that the sanctions truly effected. The Students/Players who did nothing wrong. That, I believe, is what the government is attempting to do. Is it about popularity at the same time? Isn't everything? For the NCAA it's about trying to bully Universities, and about gaining the right to continue to do so. Mark Emmert is the Roger Goodell of the NCAA. If this was an NFL team, the fans of that team would be outraged, everyone and their brother would be screaming "fire goodell".
1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This seems to be a case of the governor filing a suit that he thinks will help his popularity, even though he knows that he will lose and that this is a frivolous government impingement on private contracting. Penn State and the NCAA are in a private, voluntary, contractual agreement, like all participating universities. Penn State voluntarily agreed to these terms. It could have said no and gone to arbitration with the NCAA or just quit the NCAA and joined the NAIA or the like. It did not and now the state is meddling in the business of a university that it does not even technically own.
3 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The NCAA is making a mistake here. They overstepped their bounds, they know it, now they're trying to come out looking like the good guys. Why SHOULDN'T the money benefit PA? It should, period. NCAA will/should lose this one.

The survey for 1954 is again extremely late. A differential of five years is much too large for any survey or abstract book. The volume is somewhat smaller than its predecessors and also has more contributing editors, so that future editions should really be published sooner after the year surveyed has been completed.
The major criticism of the survey is the length of each of the so-called abstracts. Too much detail is included, and much of it is unnecessary for the reader to get the gist of the paper. The analytic papers themselves are so filled with details, and often extraneous discussions, that one would expect from a survey a contrary succinctness and brevity.
In the second place, the survey contains repetitive material. Articles are abstracted and books are mentioned in several sections by different members of the editorial staff. This repetitiveness is not helpful, even though there may

When it is super hot outside, your cows need a lot of water. Even when it is cold, you have to ensure they get access to enough water. You probably know this, but cows who don't get enough water, don't produce much milk. Not to mention that they can get sick from dehydration. Just like for humans, water is essential to cows' survival. That is why you need to take a look at these cattle waterers and accessories.
Winter's harsh, low temperatures mean water freezes in no time. Your cows can't drink ice and won't get an adequate amount of water. So, you need to check out de-icers that will keep the water at a temperature where it won't freeze. You also need to make sure you get a large enough tub to allow multiple cows to drink at one time. Don't forget that your cows can work up a real thirst in the hot summer sun, so you want to be sure to have automatic electric cattle waterers that will keep the water tub replenished no matter how much the cows are drinking. Making sure you have the right cattle waterers and accessories will allow you to make sure your cows have the water they need.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. — The Hatfieds and the McCoys. Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier. Madonna-Elton John. The duels are well documented. At Lake Tahoe, another rivalry has reached a crescendo, and in a stirring debate one thing is certain: Mark Twain would have loved it.In a silver and golden state showdown that has been in the making for years, a pair of history authors will debate where Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, started an infamous fire during his first visit to Lake Tahoe.The principals are Tahoma, Calif., resident David Antonucci, who has a slideshow presentation which he says proves the campsite Twain described in two chapters of the novel "Roughing It" was near Stateline Point in California; and Carson City, Nev., resident Robert Stewart, who has historic documents which he says prove the campsite and fire were in a cove near Thunderbird Point on Tahoe's Nevada side.The caveat for those who attend the "The Mark Twain Tahoe Mystery Public Festivity" June 21 at Tahoe City's Gatekeeper's museum: The animosity is real. While they won't say so publicly, these guys don't care for one another."It's become almost a feud," said McAvoy Layne, a Mark Twain impersonator for 24 years."I think I can keep my temper," said Stewart, who called Antonucci "intransigent" in a previous Lake Tahoe Action article."I hope it stays lighthearted and people learn something," a confident Antonucci said. "A lot of people without a dog in the fight have come down on my side."The first public Stewart-Antonucci fracas occurred September 2010 at the Thunderbird Lodge south of Incline Village. The Nevada Board of Geographic Names voted to designate the area, which was supported by Stewart, Layne and another Nevada historian, Larry Schmidt, who discovered what they said was the flat rock Clemens described as a faro table in "Roughing It."At the meeting, Antonucci argued there are flat rocks all around the lake and Clemens camped on the California side."We had it out in front of the Nevada Board of Geographic Names. He kept interrupting me," Antonucci said of Stewart. "I finally asked, 'Can I be allowed to talk and answer questions at the end?'"The Nevada recommendation was sent to Washington, D.C., where approval for a monument on the U.S. Forest Service land appeared certain, according to Stewart and Layne, who at the time was proprietor of the Mark Twain Cultural Center in Incline Village."Sam Clemens Cove just rolls off the tongue," a jubilant Stewart, who came up with the name, told Action after the meeting. "Samuel Langhorne Clemens Cove? Nah, that's too formal."But on May 12, 2011, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names on a 5-4 vote denied Nevada's recommendation.The federal board cited Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit's forest supervisor's disapproval of the Clemens Cove designation because Twain carelessly started a fire on the land.A retired chief of Nevada public affairs, Stewart was devastated, but nevertheless glib, saying "We were shot down by Smokey Bear."Antonucci remained contrary, saying, "That's only half the story.""I have a federal letter from May 12, 2011," he said. "It did not approve because of the negative recommendation from the U.S. Forest Service and the reasonable doubt about the location. Most people forget the second part. The board based it on two reasons."Layne wanted to host a debate at the Twain Center."I was always ready to go any time, any place," Antonucci said.The executive director of the North Lake Tahoe Historical Society, Marguerite Sprague, convinced Stewart to meet publicly with Antonucci."She could persuade a fish to get out and take a walk with her," Layne said. "So she was able to do what I couldn't."Layne said the feud includes a California vs. Nevada element."I said to David, 'Let's have a Mark Twain Cove in California and one in Nevada — one for each. He's not buying into it. Both David and Bob have a little bit of statehood built into their arguments."Both have done a large amount of research on Mark Twain. Last year Antonucci published "Fairest Picture — Mark Twain at Lake Tahoe." He has a book signing at 1 p.m. Saturday at Sundance Books and Music in Reno. Stewart is working on a book about the first 13 months Clemens spent in Nevada. "It's about the people he was around and who they were and what they did."While Stewart and Antonucci are passionate about their views, both anticipate a civil discussion June 21."It's not like a presidential debate," Antonucci said. "We won't be making any $10,000 bets."

Lindy Ruff has been driving from coffee shop to coffee shop the past few days, collecting his thoughts and empty cups. He knew folks wanted to say goodbye, but he wasn't sure he was ready.
He was certain he wanted to say thanks, however, so the Buffalo Sabres' former coach returned to First Niagara Center on Friday for a farewell appearance. It was filled with emotions and laughs, two of the trademarks Ruff established during his 26-year ride as a coach and player in Buffalo.
"Thanks to all the fans over all these years," Ruff said. "I owe you. You made this a special place to coach.
"I know there's a thank you outside on the fence," he said, referring to handmade letters taped near the doors of the arena that spelled out, "Thank U Lindy." "I'd like to put my thank you right next to it because it's a special group. It's a place that I call home, I always will call home."
Ruff's love affair with Western New York and its hockey team began in 1979 when the Sabres drafted him in the second round.
"I still have the invitation to training camp in a book," he said.
The coupling continued for a decade on the ice and restarted in 1997 when he took over as coach. He spent 16 years behind the bench until getting fired Wednesday with the Sabres near the bottom of the NHL.
"I don't feel like I have anything to be ashamed of or any regrets," Ruff said. "I've gone over every game. I've cleaned out my office. I've grabbed all my notes. I've grabbed game notes. I've looked at all the games. I've looked at chances. I've looked at how we lost.
"It's like I'm driving myself crazy, but when I was done I said, 'You know, we gave three games away. We could have been at 9-7 and in a pretty good place, and instead we're at 6-10.' That falls with me."
It was clear listening to him talk that the memories and friendships he built will hold more significance than this season's disappointment.
He thanked team founders Seymour and Northrup Knox for bringing him to town as a player and coach. He thanked the Sabres' other owners – John Rigas, Tom Golisano, Larry Quinn, Dan DiPofi and Terry Pegula – for keeping him around. In true Ruff style, he wittily said he'd skip the era when the NHL owned the bankrupt team.
He thanked the players who performed for him, the ones in the early years who went to four straight post seasons and the skaters now who are in position for a second straight playoff-free campaign.
"The reason a coach has success is he has players who play for him," Ruff said. "It's hard right now, but I think better days are right around the corner."
Ruff also praised Darcy Regier, who hired Ruff just a month after becoming general manager. Regier delivered the dismissal at Ruff's home in Clarence.
"I saw him, and I said, 'I know,' " said Ruff, who was emotionally devastated following a lackluster 2-1 loss to Winnipeg on Tuesday. "To take that step back against Winnipeg, it was like a kick in the gut for me. You guys saw it. I saw it. I felt it."
Aside from the fans, Ruff gave his most gracious gratitude to longtime equipment manager Rip Simonick. The South Buffalo native provided Ruff with the best equipment as a rookie and was a friend during the long plane rides as coach.
"He's no longer coaching the team, but he'll root for the team," Simonick said following the Sabres' practice in Northtown Center at Amherst. "He's a Buffalonian.
"He came as a kid from Alberta with a chip on his shoulder. ... Everybody knew what they were going to get. When Lindy coached against you, he coached to win. He didn't care if you took a punch to the nose or a stick from behind. Whatever you had to do to win the game, that was the bottom line."
Ruff will take time to clear his head, but he has no doubts he'll return to coaching.
"God, I miss it already," he said.
He watched hockey on television the day he was fired, and he tried watching the Sabres play Thursday. He lasted one period.
"I found it incredibly strange, and I had to turn it off," he said.
He refuses to turn off his admiration for the area and the organization, specifically Pegula and his wife, Kim.
"My biggest disappointment is not getting it done for them," Ruff said. "We'll get it right here. You've got to trust them because he's a competitor. He's a fabulous guy to be around, and it will get done right. I know it's painful right now, but it will get it done."

LISBON - Count Columbiana County Commissioner Mike Halleck among those disappointed by East Liverpool's decision to back away from a deal that would have resolved the Buckeye Water District lawsuit.
Halleck was referring to last week's news that East Liverpool wants an extra $668,000 in addition to the $5.9 million the city had agreed to accept to settle its lawsuit against the BWD.
"I think the judge has been more than patient," he said. "I don't know why they are doing it. Maybe they want to run the interest up. That's the only possible reason."
Halleck was referring to the fact the longer the dispute goes unresolved East Liverpool can lay claim to $699 per day in accrued interest. The next hearing on the matter is scheduled for Dec. 10, which would add another $57,000 in interest on top of the $1.7 million in interest East Liverpool already claims it is owed.
"When you got that kind of interest out there, why would you want to settle?" Halleck said.
The interest is on the $4.8 million court judgment East Liverpool was awarded after winning a breach-of-contract lawsuit against the BWD when the BWD quit buying water from the city. The interest accrued as the BWD exhausted its appeals.
The BWD in May accepted East Liverpool's offer to settle the dispute for $5.9 million, but the city later began to back away from the deal, first claiming it wanted the U.S. Department of Agriculture to sign off on any proposed settlement agreement even though the USDA was not a party to the lawsuit. Then on Sept. 12, East Liverpool's attorney indicated the city wanted another $668,000.
Commissioners are concerned because they are co-defendants to the lawsuit, and, therefore, also on the hook should the BWD fail to pay the judgment. The judge determined the county was still legally part of the agreement to purchase water from East Liverpool despite having turned over the county water district to the BWD nearly 20 years ago.
To help resolve the dispute, commissioners agreed in May put up $1.5 million in county funds to help the BWD come up with the $5.9 million needed to pay East Liverpool, with the BWD required to repay the county. East Liverpool accepted the county's offer but in doing so retained its legal claim against the county.
Halleck is disappointed with some of the officials involved in reaching the tentative deal. "We had a deal, on more than one occasion," he said.
Halleck estimated when the bill for legal fees comes due that East Liverpool and the BWD combined will have spent more than $500,000 in attorney fees on the out-of-county law firms that are representing them, and the meter continues to run until the dispute is resolved.
In related news, the BWD filed a motion in county Common Pleas Court disputing East Liverpool's calculation of the interest owed, saying the city used incorrect interest rates during certain periods while the BWD was exhausting its appeals.

AUSTIN, Texas � Music festivals are booming, and so is one alternative to paying soaring ticket prices to spend a long weekend packed among 50,000 or more typically sweaty concertgoers: watching the performances online for free.
At the Austin City Limits Music Festival, about a third of the nearly 130 bands on a lineup that includes the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Black Keys and Jack White will have their sets broadcast on YouTube. That�s a record for the three-day festival that will start today. Just six years ago, organizers began webcasting with a single feed and struggled to persuade artists to even participate.
The same was once true at trendsetters like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. But as Austin City Limits marks the unofficial end of the big-festival calendar in the U.S. for 2012, this year might also go down as the year when live-streams started crossing into mainstream.
Take the year�s most talked-about performance: Tupac Shakur rising from the dead as a hologram at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in a resurrection that was live-streamed from the California desert and talked about around the world.
The rock band Delta Spirit will be among the first acts up on Austin City Limit�s YouTube channel.
�It's never going to equal seeing it live. But it�s cool that it engages more people,� Delta Spirit lead singer Matt Vasquez said. �We�re a generation of content, aren�t we? We love to fill up our days with as little space as possible.�
Promoters aren�t trying to sell live-streaming as a substitute for the you-had-to-be-there experience of concerts. Especially because, in many cases, you still very much have to be there to catch some of the biggest headliners: Neil Young & Crazy Horse and Weezer are among the performers in Austin this weekend whose sets won�t be broadcast on the Web.
Nor do live-steams pose any threat to attendance or profits. Three-day passes for Austin City Limits this year cost $200 and sold out within an hour of the day the full lineup was announced.
But festival live-streaming has come a long way in a short time, even by technology standards. Organizers of the country�s biggest music festivals declined to reveal the size of their online audiences. But at C3 Presents, which puts on Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, the number of live-stream viewers has climbed into the �high millions,� said Courtney Trucksess, director of sponsorship.
At Bonnaroo, which began live-streaming around the same time as Austin City Limits, there�s been a �big increase� in views and the amount of time each user spends watching, said Jonathan Mayers, co-founder of Superfly Presents, which produces the four-day Tennessee festival.
�We�ve seen the average view time is over an hour in one sitting,� said Chris Roach, head of business development for AEG Digital Media, which has produced live-streaming for Coachella and other open-air concerts. �That�s a pretty engaged eyeball for an advertiser to put their dollar against.�
Little fanfare surrounded webcasts when Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits began experimenting with it in 2006. Viewers back then were treated only to a handful of willing artists, partial sets and about eight hours a day of video. Bandwidth was an issue and the single feed was streamed exclusively through the website of a corporate sponsor.
This year, Coachella had three live-stream channels. Austin City Limits will have multiple channels, too, and the production has increasingly taken on the polish of a live television broadcast.
But not all bands remain convinced, and organizers say there are artists and labels reluctant to have their performances streamed online. Trucksess says �it�s still a hurdle.�
�At the end of the day, you're putting yourself out there,� Trucksess said. �Are people going to watch? What if, God forbid, you mess up your lyrics or have a bad performance? Maybe that�s the one time that they felt like they had a bad show.�
Vasquez said he noticed himself looking �totally exhausted� after going back to watch his own performance at Lollapalooza last year. Maybe not ideal, but webcasts also create something of a historical archive.
Vasquez recalled a conversation with a member of My Morning Jacket after the band�s live-streamed show at Austin City Limits last year.
�He told me, �I think this might be the best show we've ever played,�� Vasquez said. �And because it�s all recorded and on YouTube, there�s My Morning Jacket having the set of their entire life. That�s amazing.�

It's Hot In Them Tweets: Celebs Who Quit Twitter When Ish Got Too Real
We all know that social networking can cause plenty of heated arguments. From disses to rumors and everything in between, it's not uncommon for someone, even a celebrity, to quit a social networking site, such as Twitter when things get a little too heated — or they forget 18.75 million people are watching their every tweet. Here are 15 celebrities who temporarily or permanently quit Twitter.
Chris Brown
After getting into a heated match with Jenny Johnson about Rihanna a couple of weeks ago, Chris Brown temporarily deleted his Twitter account. Unsurprisingly, he was reactivated and reusing his account the very next day. This isn't the first or the last time Chris will quit Twitter.
Trending on MadameNoire

- Brandy
I'll bet Nicki Minaj has ALOT of inner voices telling her to do things… How else (apart from demonic possession ;P) to explain that hot mess?
Really? Folks are quitting twitter. Just goes to show what else these cUUns will run away from.
- IllyPhilly
Didn't go through list, but I bet most were men. People with balls, I tells ya are so sensitive.

Housing separate office for Sara Demko, the Assistant Provost for International Services, and Luciano Marzulli, the Director of Diversity Student Affairs, the Center also includes a welcoming living room-like shared open space, illustrating via its displays and organization that both components are of equal value. The Center's programming and learning goals have also been developed with the idea of intersections and distinctions in mind.
We want to encourage as much student participation as possible in the form of articles, drawings, personal reflections, poems, and editorials. So please write us an email with a description of what you would like to write about and why. Your submission may be published in an upcoming issue of the newsletter.

Cultural trends can be confusing, conflicting and troubling, and we see that in today's TV programming.
At one end of the spectrum is A&E's "Duck Dynasty," where the stars are clothed, generally respectful and even prayerful. On Aug. 14, 11.8 million people tuned in.
And then we have MTV's Video Music Awards, where men and women behave like alley cats in heat. Last Sunday night, 10.1 million people watched them.
We can shrug, acknowledge that it's a "free country" and move on. Or we can pause and reflect. Consider:
- Kids - some of them young children - were exposed to the sordid behavior on MTV Sunday night. Even worse, the laughter and applause suggested that such behavior is not only acceptable, but also praiseworthy.
- Television and the "entertainment" industry have invaded our homes, become members of our families and helped shape our lives and our values.
- We have sat by and allowed and sometimes even encouraged it.
That brings us to a heated but little-noticed debate over the relationship between us and the television industry.
Cable and satellite companies, pressured by TV networks, sell us channels by the "bundle," or "tier," and if we want one or two channels that happen to be in, say, Tier One, we're forced to buy all of the channels in that tier, including ones that aren't suitable for children.
Oh, the industry tries to comfort us by mentioning channel blocking, but the reality is that blocking often doesn't work. Parental supervision also doesn't work.
Enter now the Parent Television Council, a 1.3-million-member organization that promotes decency in the entertainment industry. Its solution: Dump the tier system.
The council, energized by Sunday night's MTV program, blasted away the next day. "MTV has once again succeeded in marketing sexually charged messages to young children using former child stars and condom commercials - while falsely rating this program as appropriate for kids as young as 14. This is unacceptable.
"After MTV's display (Sunday) night, it's time to give control back to consumers."
Luckily, there's a way that can happen. It's called the Television Consumer Freedom Act of 2013 (S.912).
It was introduced by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on May 9, and it's been sitting in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation ever since. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., is another sponsor.
The committee chairman is West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller. He has the power to move the bill forward.
An aide this week said he thinks the senator approaches the subject from a conservative perspective, and he suggested checking back in several weeks to see if there's been any movement.
McCain's bill would allow consumers to buy TV channels a la carte, meaning you could pick which channels to have in your home. You'd pay for only the channels selected, of course.
Some industry giants don't think much of the bill. Suddenlink, on the other hand, seems more amenable, although it stops short of endorsing a la carte.
Jerry Kent, Suddenlink's chairman and CEO, says, "We applaud the spotlight this bill places on a real industry problem. The ability of powerful TV network owners to force more channels and higher costs on distributors and consumers threatens to price some households out of the multichannel video market."
McCain and Blumenthal want a la carte.
McCain says, "America's 100 million cable and satellite subscribers are forced to pay ever-higher bills for a growing number of channels they do not watch. The American people are being ripped off."
Blumenthal says, "Consumers should not have to pay for programming they don't want or watch. The current antiquated, antidemocratic system imposes all-or-nothing cable packages that give consumers no control over their cable bill and prevent subscribers from voting with their feet when they are unhappy."
So what do you think? Good idea or bad idea? If you have an opinion, you can call Rockefeller's office at 202-224-6472. Ask for Tyler.

A thin, elastic membrane stretched partly or completely across the entrance of the vagina (vestibule). It has no known biological function. An intact hymen has long and erroneously been considered the hallmark of female virginity . The presence or absence of the hymen is no proof of virginity or its opposite; the hymen can be broken in the normal course of physical activities when the body is stretched strenuously, as in athletics, sports or exercises. It may be absent, small, thin and pliant, or, more rarely, tough and dense, completely blocking the vaginal entrance; it varies in size, shape and thickness from woman to woman . If it is too resistant to tearing it may require a small surgical incision, hymenotomy , or even removal, hymenectomy , before vaginal intercourse can take place .

i live in the country in northern us closest city an hour away and anime and manga are not very popular so i dont understand the point to cosplying mind explaning it to me
it's just for fun and to express your fandom. sometimes organizations for costuming act as charities like the Rebel Legion and the 501st for Star Wars.
It lets you realate to your favorite anime character or whom your most like in the anime/manga world. Is life reality or is it a mirror image of what you want it to be?
Most conventions have cosplay contests and it's cool to see who has the best costume. At a lot of the conventions you have to make your costume or have it made, it can't be mass produced off the internet. Even my boots are specially made for me, it's so awesome. everything is so elaborate and trying to prove you can turn cloth into a kick ass costume that everyone likes is awesome.
"The wound lies deep, like the ocean floor. The sin is red, growing paler in death."
Cosplaying is a great way to express your feelings for a particular character by roleplaying. Dedicated people who make their own outfits can also share tips, which builds a community. So basically it is an expensive hobby or just a wacky way to have fun.
It's fun to do and very entertaining.

After a massive six-day manhunt that eventually reached into the Idaho wilderness, Hannah Anderson was found safe on Saturday after allegedly being abducted by James Lee DiMaggio.
DiMaggio, who was killed during an arrest attempt by an FBI tactical agent, is suspected of killing Hannah's mother, 44-year-old Christina Anderson, and 8-year-old brother, Ethan Anderson. Hannah's grandmother (and Christina's mother) Sara Britt tells PEOPLE that finding the teen was "exactly what we hoped and prayed for."
"She's coming home, and that's all that's been in our thoughts this whole time. Now we take the time to grieve for Ethan – 'Little E' – and Tina," she said Saturday. "We had to focus on Hannah to get her home. Thank the Lord, the country's prayers and thoughts have been amazing."
With the 16-year-old heading home, Britt and Hannah's other grandmother, Bernice Anderson, are focused on Hannah's needs.
"We thought if she had familiar clothing like her gymnastic pants, she would feel more comfortable. I put in her pink ball cap signed by Jimmy Johnson the NASCAR race driver, her gymnastics slacks, a favorite T-shirt. And her favorite teddy bear is going along for the ride. She's had that bear since she was a little girl. And I put in all of female essentials, of course, like her makeup and nail polish. She'll have clothes for three or four days, whatever it takes," Britt said.
Hannah's father, Brett Anderson, will head to Idaho Sunday to see his daughter.
"We'll see her when she comes back to San Diego and we'll have a small celebration with the grandparents and the dad. It all depends on Hannah wants and her state of mind. It will be a private thing, at first," Britt said. "I don't know if Hannah knows what transpired with her mom and Ethan. We just don't know."

Ever since Holmstrom left this team has had absolutely nobody that can consistently tip pucks in front of the net. For the last several years its either a puck goes in cleanly off the shot or the wings have a tough time scoring. Not sure what you do to fix this but not being able it tip pucks past goalies has really demolished the offense. Iwonder if its becoming a lost art, every team seems to want to score on the rush or with traffic, and no team seems to have a Holmstrom or a Smyth.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - During Big Ten media days in Chicago two months ago, Michael Mauti reacted to the NCAA sanctions in general and Illinois' decision to recruit Penn State's players in particular with loud criticism.
Turns out that paled in comparison to the volume of the statement Mauti made at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
From the very first play he hit the field, as the gunner in punt coverage who helped cause an immediate Illinois fumble, Mauti was the game's most dominant player and the will behind the Nittany Lions' convincing 35-7 rout.
He made six tackles, two with one-on-one tackles on special teams, and picked off two passes - including one he returned 99 yards in a play for the ages before he ran out of gas at the Illinois 1 just before halftime.
"Ninety-nine yards without a TD," he said, shaking his head and managing a smile in a now-empty stadium that cleared out steadily as the game went on. "That one's going to hurt."
Leading up to the game, the entire Penn State camp bit their tongues on their sentiment toward Illinois coach Tim Beckman. Bill O'Brien didn't acknowledge him before the game, but it was clear the opponent had touched a nerve.
And Mauti made sure his teammates drilled down on it.
"Having to play against these guys, it [35-7 win] was sweet," Mauti admitted afterward. "That's what it was. We never forget about what happened in the summer so, to be honest, yeah, that was in the back of our minds, and that kept us going."
"There's definitely some tension here," fellow linebacker Glenn Carson said. "We definitely had a personal vendetta and really wanted to get this one."
Cornerback Stephon Morris said he's never seen Mauti so "amped up" before a game and claimed the senior linebacker who has overcome ACL surgery on both knees was "banging his head against the locker."
Mauti noted Morris' exaggeration level but set the record straight.
"I wasn't banging my head," he said. "Pre-game is always intense, and with the Big Ten opener, we were all jacked up."
Though Mauti has played at an All-American level so far this season, O'Brien sensed a peaking intensity Saturday.
"Anytime you have things to say, it's important to back it up. That's kind of what life is about," O'Brien said, before adding: "He [Mauti] doesn't have a lot of problems backing things up."
But Mauti was also level-headed when it was needed, such as prior to halftime when the teams crossed paths en route to their locker rooms and, with emotions and frustrations running high and amid whoofing, had to be separated.
"I was playing peace maker," Mauti said. "I don't know what happened people got tangled up."
The Big Ten's second-leading tackler, Mauti added a second interception in the third quarter. He now has four this year to go with two forced fumbles.
"If you're a senior, role-model leader, that's your role, to make plays," Mauti said. "So that's expected."
Then he quickly shifted the subject ahead and back to the team.
"Our defense hasn't scored yet," he said. "We still haven't scored."
While O'Brien repeatedly cites his strong senior class in Mauti and Gerald Hodges, Jordan Hill and Mike Zordich, Matt McGloin and Matt Stankiewitch, it's clear no one is playing better and leading better than Mauti.
He was, you'll recall, the player who this past January got up in front of a packed Jordan Center and, without notes, articulately and touchingly reflected on Joe Paterno's passing.
"He helps permeate your message to the rest of the team," Lion defensive coordinator Ted Roof said. "The great players, they have an intense passion for the game in the moment, and they seem to make the big plays. That's what he did today."
At this stage, it's a bit premature to rank Mauti among Penn State's all-time great linebackers since the position is so steeped in superstars such as Jack Ham, LaVar Arrington, Shane Conlan, Paul Posluszny and Sean Lee (just to whet your appetite), but he is playing is way into the conversation.
He's certainly off to a superior start to 2012.
But as a leader, especially considering the trauma of the last year and the Nittany Lions' defense one half from being worthy of a 5-0 record, Michael Mauti is moving into a class by himself.

The 6 Weirdest Jobs in China
There are some jobs every country has (cook, farmer, prostitute) and some jobs bred from unique cultural conditions in certain countries. For example: Only in America can you make a living selling trophies for champions of imaginary football leagues.
I think it's worth taking a look at jobs that are particularly Chinese, especially since they are supposed to take over the world and we'll all be applying for these jobs soon enough. Jobs like...
"Face Jobs" For White People
Just like Americans always need to find an Asian (any Asian) when they need a kung fu sidekick or villain for some hero, Chinese people need to find a white guy when they want to show off how big they are in business.
It works like this - China doesn't actually want any foreign firms to come in and own anything in China, or plant their own companies, but they do very much want to deal with foreign firms and bring in their money. So a successful Chinese business is one where a parade of assorted white guys in nice suits is constantly passing in and out of their offices.
But it's a lot of work to drum up that much foreign business when you pour lead and melamine into all your products. It's a lot cheaper to rent white dudes and tote them around at your conferences, ribbon-cutting ceremonies, press conferences, etc.
"Hey, that guy looks like a CTO!"
If you don't have any conferences or ceremonies coming up, you can just put them in the window, like mannequins.
Unfortunately, white women don't usually get to be pretend-CEOs, because women can't be businesspeople, that's silly. Women do get called on to pose as exotic foreign girlfriends though.
"Why don't you come over tonight? Cheryl is making the exotic dish of her people, chicken-fried steak."
Standing In Line For Other People
I assume this is a relatively new job since apparently Chinese citizens only learned how to stand in line about 4 years ago. After rigorous line-standing practice on the 11th of each month, I guess the line is respected enough now that a place at the front actually has some value.
And that value is about $3 US per hour. That's how much you can pay someone else to stand in line for you. In a city where it takes 5 hours to see a doctor, this makes sense. In America, camping out in line is only for wastes of time like Star Wars prequels or iPads, but Chinese people need to camp out for days to register for housing or even get into some kindergartens.
That is a lot of trouble to teach your kids how to eat crayons.
I wish we could bring this over to America and I could have someone stay on hold with Comcast customer service for me, but it's not going to happen. In China, people are dirt cheap. One of my VFX co-workers told me that on movie sets in China, they commonly use people instead of C-stands to hold lights and reflectors because hiring a person is a lot cheaper than renting a C-stand.
Kaye Lites
To be fair, this one sells for $165.
When China made the historical epic Hero in 2002, instead of hiring a small team of foreign VFX artists to create the massive armies, Lord of the Rings Style, for most scenes they just hired what appears to be about a million Chinese extras.
The director of this movie also directed the Olympics opening ceremonies, if any of this looks familiar.
Anyway, I realize unemployment is nuts right now in the U.S. but I still don't think you're going to convince anyone to hang out at the DMV for $3 an hour.
Poop Collectors
In China, collecting human waste is an ancient and noble profession. Well, okay, it's not noble, but it is pretty traditional.
We don't usually think of environmentalism and China in the same sentence, but China recycles a shit ton of shit as fertilizer, transporting 3.3 billion tons of human poop in 1994.
That would be enough to build Mount Rainier out of poop. I just made that up.
Despite the government's heavy-handedness in other areas of private life, I guess they can't get everyone to report to a poo-depository when it's time to drop a deuce, so that means somebody has got to go around to all the outhouses and public toilets and pick it all up.
You would think college grads wouldn't be jumping eagerly at the opportunity to join the brown patrol, but you would be wrong. In an internationally reported story, one sanitation company's ad for 5 shit-scooper positions brought in 391 applications from desperate graduates unable to find any other jobs. It's funny what stories catch the international media's attention, because another city had 2500 applications for 10 positions the previous year.
Want China Times
One of the 5 lucky job seekers.
It could be worse. They could be a funeral director. Chinese people are so superstitious about death that some buildings don't have 4th floors (because "4" sounds like "die") and you can't give people clocks as presents because it looks like you are counting the seconds til their death. Really. So people who work in funeral parlors don't even want to tell their parents.
"No, I swear, Dad, I'm a prostitute!"
But somehow a funeral parlor job fair attracted 5000 college graduates. Hey, times are tough and there's only so many poo-collecting jobs.
Fortunately for everyone, there should be more waste collector openings soon enough, as China has decided that poo is not enough (when is it ever?) and is looking to go after pee soon.
