Devil's Night

October 30. A Detroit-area "tradition" originally centered around pranks like egging windows and cars, destroying property, or TP'ing houses; in the mid 1970s these relatively harmless but annoying acts were mostly replaced by widespread arson, peaking in the 1980s when up to 800 fires would be reported in a single night. More recently, the city has organized a so-called "Angel's Night," where volunteers patrol neighborhoods to prevent and report crimes. The effort has been somewhat effective, and is taken so seriously that news stations almost never use the original term anymore, in an attempt to show support for the volunteers.

Devin

proper noun: Literally meaning poet, the name Devin can be used for both girls or boys.
In men, the name Devin evokes images of a sweet, caring gentleman, someone not afraid to stand up for you, but who also listens and remembers things you tell him. He's extremely attractive, with his incredible dark hair, his big brown eyes, and the smile that makes sentences trail off. A great friend, a great person, and beautiful through and through. He lives up to his name, as almost everything he says and writes sounds or reads like poetry.
In women, the name Devin refers to someone also sweet and caring, but independent and proud. She's beautiful, she's smiley, and she's full of ideas. Her creative side would put most to shame. She can write, she can draw, and she's even good with computers.
V: I wish Devin was my boyfriend, he's so charming.

M: Devin is so pretty... I wish she would notice me.

Saying used (especially in the southern US) when the sun is shining yet it's raining. I've been told that in Scandinavian countries they say "There's a marriage in Hades" for this, and in South America they say "The devil and his wife are dancing." (Since all version relate to the devil and his spouse, there's probably some older story that all these sayings derive from.)
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain, coming down on a sunny day? Yes, the devil is beating his wife. (Heh, CCR reference too.)

Amazing band. Dez Fafara (vocals from Coal Chamber) is the frontman for this death metal band. They are nothing like Coal Chamber and are heavier than many bands that are actually good.
