It's that time of year again: Halloween. Pumpkins and apples are ripe and kids are trying to pick the perfect costume for the Halloween party at school or at the local community hall. Adults are eyeing that invitation they got from their friends and wondering what in the world they can dress up as this year. Witches http://www.nashvillepredatorsteamstore.com/adidas-colton-sissons-jersey , French maids and Harry Potter are so last year. There must be something new and exciting for this year, but what? How can you come up with a costume that everyone else doesn't think of?

Well, you could choose anime and look for an obscure character - like Folken from Escaflowne or one of the least known Pokemon. Cosplay, as appearing in anime character is called, is very popular right now. Just make sure that you're ready to explain who you are when you knock on a door and someone says, "Who are YOU supposed to be?" If you've forgotten that you're Mareep http://www.nashvillepredatorsteamstore.com/adidas-cody-mcleod-jersey , who evolves into Flaaffy, you may not get any candy. There are several places online where anime costumes are sold.

TV characters are always popular, but you know that there are going to be several Grey's Anatomy characters in any adult party you go to this year. Ditto for Desperate Housewives, although you have to have the figure for it. If you don't, there's always The Simpson's and other 80's programs. Who couldn't look like Homer or Marge given the right costume? And a wig for Marge, of course.

If TV isn't your cup of tea http://www.nashvillepredatorsteamstore.com/adidas-calle-jarnkrok-jersey , how about movies? Classics like Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, all those Chick Flix - there has to be a character you can relate to in one of them. Or go way back and capture Marilyn Monroe, WC Fields http://www.nashvillepredatorsteamstore.com/adidas-austin-watson-jersey , Groucho or one of the Three Stooges. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. Old cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Roadrunner and Coyote can work too. Everything loves them and recognizes them, so you'll have a fan base wherever you go.

You might be tempted to throw a sheet over your head and go as a ghost or wear a Hawaiian shirt and call it a costume http://www.nashvillepredatorsteamstore.com/adidas-anthony-bitetto-jersey , but that just doesn't make it. If you're going to show yourself in public, make an effort to look like SOMEONE. Even if you just buy a mask and wear your best suit or your mother's old housecoat and slippers, try to get into the spirit of the holiday.

Halloween can be fun and doesn't have to cost a lot. Often, buying a costume online is the cheapest way to go and you can sell it on an auction site when you're done. Or you can keep it until next year and sell it then. It's worth it to look authentic rather than tacky. Homemade costumes usually sound like a good idea, especially if you've waited until the last minute, as usual http://www.nashvillepredatorsteamstore.com/adidas-alexei-emelin-jersey , to come up with a costume. But procrastination shows and your friends will not be impressed if you show up looking like a loser from the Amateur Hour at the local Bar and Grille. Make an effort. Start early and find a costume that you really like. Come the witching hour, you'll be glad you did.

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday posted anti-Muslim videos on Twitter that had originally been posted by a leader of a far-right British party.


As a candidate, Trump called for "a Muslim ban" and, as president, has issued executive orders banning entry from some citizens of multiple countries, although courts have partially blocked them from taking effect.


Jayda Fransen http://www.nashvillepredatorsteamstore.com/ , a leader of the anti-immigrant Britain First group, posted the videos on Wednesday, saying that they showed a group of people who are Muslim beating a teenage boy to death, battering a boy on crutches and destroying a Christian statue.


Fransen, along with the fringe group's head, was arrested in September and charged with causing religiously aggravated harassment over the distribution of leaflets and posting online videos during the court trial involving the case of a number of Muslim men accused and later convicted of rape.


"Donald Trump himself has retweeted these videos and has around 44 million followers! God bless you Trump!" Britain First wrote in a post. Its account has about 24 http://www.nashvillepredatorsteamstore.com/adidas-yannick-weber-jersey ,000 followers.

SANAA, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- The latest clashes between two former allies in Yemen, the Houthis and former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, are set to aggravate the humanitarian crisis in the war-torn country.


The two sides allied and seized power in late 2014, triggering a civil war and a military intervention by a coalition led by Saudi Arabia.


"I expect the situation will be complicated and Saleh may not risk further if he does not receive sufficient support from regional players," Yaseen Al-Tamimi http://www.nashvillepredatorsteamstore.com/adidas-viktor-arvidsson-jersey , a political writer and analyst, told Xinhua.


"The future of Sanaa is still uncertain. Both sides are using the hit-and-run tactics," he said, noting that it is difficult to drive Houthi forces out of Sanaa, if not impossible.


The breakdown of the Houthi-Saleh alliance, seen as an alliance of convenience http://www.nashvillepredatorsteamstore.com/adidas-scott-hartnell-jersey , was expected from the first day the it was announced. The Houthis can't forget the revenge for murdering their first leader in the first Saada war by the army of Saleh.


There are several other reasons that led to the latest breakdown of their alliance.


First, the Houthi actions to exclude Saleh are out of concern that Saleh would turn against them at any moment.


Second, Saleh seeks to reach a deal with the Saudi-led coalition, which also hopes to do so amid growing criticism of Saudi Arabia and other members over the war and its catastrophic consequences in the Ye.
