Made of soft cozy fleece, they are a kid's camping essential.
Learn how to make this easy pillowcase dress. It looks adorable with any fabrics.
I especially love the new 'infinity' scarves. These long loops of fabric are great for wrapping around multiple times to create a fun casual look. I was such a fan of this fabric that I decided to create a bracelet to match.
Infinity scarves are super easy to make - they don't even require a pattern! First, decide how long you'd like your scarf to be. I sized mine to be approximately 60 inches long, so I purchase just over a yard of fabric. (tip: just ask the fabric counter to cut your fabric to 60 inches long - it will save you a step!) I used my Fiskars quilting ruler to measure the width to approximately 26 inches. I then cut 4 rectangles of fabric - each 60 inch x 26 inch. I sewed the ends together, then folded in half vertically to make a long tube of fabric. Another easy hem, then I stitched the ends together to form a loop. Like the crinkled look? Wet your scarf, then twist and tie as tight as you can. Let dry, then untwist and you'll have a great crinkled look!
Covered wooden beads are quick and easy to make, and let you coordinate perfectly with your scarf! Use your favorite Fiskars scissors to cut a rectangle of fabric long enough to wrap around a bead. Cover the fabric in glue, then roll around bead. Carefully tuck the ends into the hole in the bead (tip: the Fiskars embossing tool is handy to help tuck the fabric in!). Let the beads dry, then string onto ribbon. Viola!
Creating spring accessories is a great way to update your wardrobe. Scarves, headbands, bracelets, necklaces, pins–the possibilities are endless! With colorful fabric and your Fiskars tools, you'll be able to create one-of-a-kind accessories to really liven up your spring wardrobe!

A woman was surprised to wake up in the middle of the night and find a 19-year-old man sleeping in a bedroom in her house early Monday morning. Mesa police say a woman heard noises from an unlocked front door and found Brandon Jay Larsen sleeping in one of her bedrooms about two hours later. When officers arrived to her Mesa home, they say Larsen had several clothing items over his arms and hands and wasn't responding to them. Officers deployed a Taser to wake Larsen up. They say he appeared to be under the influence of drugs. Police say Larsen told them he was cold and looking for a warm place to lay down. He was taken to jail and booked on one count of criminal trespassing inside a residence.

Great Dress This is my bridesmaids' dress for my wedding. I got to see it on three of my girls and it looked great. Some alterations may be needed for one of the girls but it looked nice on her too. I am really glad that I could find a nice dress at this price. I tried to be considerate that the girls most likely would only wear this dress once. April 1, 2014
I Bought 2! I had already bought my long bridesmaid���s dress (in Mercury) for the ceremony, but the bride wanted us to change into short dresses for the reception. I was very concerned because so many of the David���s short dresses are SHORT! I am 5���11���, wear a 16W in ���real clothes��� and wear a 38H (don���t laugh, that���s a real bra size, LoL). I tried this dress on in Apple in a 20 and it was perfect. The length was short, but not inappropriate. The bust area was snug, but not so much so that I was uncomfortable or falling out. The waist could maybe come in 2 inches or so, but since we are wearing sashes (and cutting it close on time) I think it will be fine. I liked the dress I tried on so much, I bought that one to wear for my Birthday. I could see how someone who carried a lot of weight in their stomach would not like this dress. It is somewhat forgiving because of the gathering, but the fitted waist and straight skirt could make someone who is apple or even pear shaped look very bottom heavy. May 6, 2013
Not good for busty women This dress doesn't fit great if you are busty but have a small frame. I wear a 30FF and sizes 4-8 all barely covered my chest enough to feel comfortable. The consultant recommended buying a size 10 and then taking about 2 inches off the waist during alterations. Most strapless David's Bridal dresses have this issue though. May 1, 2013
Not for girls that are tall or that have big belly This dress is nice for anyone that is under 5ft7 and are wearing sizes under 18. I am a BM and I look like i need lipo in this dress LOL but seriously not joking. March 1, 2013

Ramadan Basics
Each year, Muslims spend the ninth month of the Islamic calendar observing a community-wide fast. The annual fast of Ramadan is considered one of the five "pillars" of Islam. Muslims who are physically able are required to fast each day of the entire month, from sunrise to sunset. The evenings are spent enjoying family and community meals, engaging in prayer and spiritual reflection, and reading from the Quran.
Observing the Fast of RamadanThe fast of Ramadan has both spiritual significance and physical effects. In addition to the basic requirements of the fast, there are additional and recommended practices in order to gain the most benefit from the experience.
Special Populations During Ramadan
The Ramadan fast is vigorous, and there are special rules for those who may find it physically difficult to participate in the fast.
Reading During RamadanThe first verses of the Quran were revealed during the month of Ramadan, and the very first word was: "Read!" During the month of Ramadan, as well as other times during the year, Muslims are encouraged to read and reflect on God's guidance.
Celebrating Eid al-Fitr
At the end of the month of Ramadan, Muslims around the world enjoy a 3-day holiday known as "Eid al-Fitr" (Festival of Fast-Breaking).

UMaine's Master of Wildlife Conservation is a non-thesis degree for students who wish to focus strongly on the course work portion of a degree rather than a thesis. It has allowed past students with undergraduate degrees in subjects such as history, sociology, political science, geology, and theology to develop a foundation in ecological sciences and natural resource management. All of our MWC graduates have found rewarding careers. For example, they have included:
MWC students may focus their courses within three general focus areas: conservation biology, fisheries, or wildlife management and science. Given that everyone has a different background and interests each student's set of courses will be unique. Although MWC students must meet the same set of course requirements as all of our graduate students (see link to Program Requirements), these requirements are quite broad and allow significant latitude for individual choice.
One part of the MWC program is a small independent project or internship designed in collaboration with an advisor. A project might consist of undertaking a task that will be useful to the work of a conservation organization or agency such as performing an inventory of a new protected area. It could involve writing a creative, synthetic paper on a conservation issue. A traditional research investigation could be undertaken although it would have to be highly focused to be completed in one semester.
Financial support such as stipends and tuition waivers are not readily available for our MWC programs. Occasionally limited support may become available (e.g. working as a research technician during the summer) but these opportunities are highly unpredictable. Thus students must be responsible for both their cost of living and tuition, which varies depending on residency (Maine, New England, Canada, or elsewhere). Click the Financial Information link on the Graduate School home page for details on tuition and fees.
Applications for September admissions are reviewed between January 1 and March 31. Open houses may be organized during this period for candidates who would like to visit campus and meet our faculty and other grad students.

KSAT Ball Hog Blog: It gets no better than LeBron-Durant, Heat-Thunder
A few thoughts on the NBA Finals which tip off Tuesday at 8 p.m. right here on KSAT 12! (See what I did there)
Outside of San Antonio, Boston and even poor Seattle, this is the matchup everyone wanted. David Stern must be doing back flips and aside from a little bit of Pacquiao-like officiating in the conference finals, both the Heat and Thunder earned their spot on this stage.
Off the top of my head, I can't remember another recent NBA Finals that featured the MVP and runner up, at least six all-pros, two Defensive Player of the Year candidates, the most opposite cities you could imagine and some good ol' fashion hate for the Heat and major band-wagon action for the Thunder. It's literally a good versus evil matchup and the villain is once again the King without a ring, LeBron James.
These playoffs have been Kevin Durant and OKC's coming out party, but LeBron is the central figure of these Finals. Is anyone more criticized? Is there anyone with more pressure? Is there anyone with more redemption on the line? Is the NBA a better place when James doesn't win? Yes to all of the above.
Once again, LeBron has put up impressive, MVP worthy numbers through the playoffs. He picked up his scoring and rebounding while playing nearly every minute and every position on the floor.
James carried Miami through the Bosh and Wade injuries, dismantled Boston in Game 6 with an all-time great performance and led the Heat past the Celts in an exciting Game 7.
But absolutely none of this matters unless he wins a game late in the fourth quarter and ultimately takes the title back to South Beach. Can LeBron close? We'll get our answer.
Kevin Durant has no such problem. Last year, I called KD the Terminator "T-2" model because he was nearly unstoppable. He's even more unstoppable now as Spurs fans painfully saw in Games 4 and 6 of the West finals.
LeBron may be considered the best overall player in the game, but there's no one else I want other than Durant taking the last shot. Heck, there may be no one else I would want to start a franchise. This is the effect KD has had during these playoffs.
As appealing as the KD-LBJ matchup is, there's many other factors at play. Westbrook must dominate simply because he has the weakest matchup against Chalmers. Harden and Wade cancel each other out, but D-Wade has to play well all game opposed to just the fourth quarter for Miami to win.
The other question is whether Chris Bosh is healthy enough to bang with the Thunder big men. The Bostrich (Yes, he resembles an ostrich) returned against Boston and played mostly on the perimeter. Miami needs him to rebound and draw Ibaka away from the basket.
Let's not forget the chances of Perk and Haslem giving each other a record amount of scowls and complaining after every call. And what about the bench? I mentioned Harden, but Fisher is as clutch as they come and nothing would be better than him winning a title after being thrown to curb by LA. God forbid Shane Battier hits a big 3-pointer! I may lose my mind.
This entire locked-out season has been a roller coaster ride so expect the same this series. But there lies the problem, you just don't know what will happen.
My instinct says Heat in 6 just because I feel Lebron may officially meltdown if he loses another Finals, but it's impossible to predict.
I do know it should be fun to watch, it should be tense, it should be nail-biting, it should be everything you would want in an NBA Finals.

Dear Readers, thank you for tuning in. I have been on a hiatus because I have been shamelessly naughty and concentrating almost completely on my painting. However, in the last few weeks it has been my pleasure to work with a very promising newer author, Dana Williams from the gorgeous state of Oregon. As you who have studied my books over the years know, I have studied meditation now for 43 years, since I was 19 and began Zen meditation, with Dannon Katagiri Rhoshi in Minneapolis.
I since went on to study so many different kinds of meditation that I can scarcely name them all. Perhaps the most complex and advanced of all, were the various series of Kriyas in Kundalini Yoga as taught by my personal teacher Kharam Bhakti Singh, and his teacher Yogi Bhajan. A Kriya, as you may know, is a meditation that includes a posture, a mantra, a yantra or visual image, a mudra, or finger/hand position, and a pranayam or breath modulation. These can be very challenging and difficult to master but are most rewarding.
However, for those of you who cherish the complex, yearn for something more difficult, more intricate, more detailed, the Rose Way Mediation is just the thing. It has, get this, over fifty steps, fifty! Wow.
Now, you might well recoil at that initially and say that no form of meditation should have or have to have that many steps to it. And, if you are of that firm opinion, I will not argue with you. But, I will posit gently to you to be of an open mind and consider that this particular form, and its fifty + steps, are not all that difficult. This is because each step follows logically from the preceding step, and all follow a sequence which is utterly natural, and very comfortable, even shall I say, easy, to perform, with a bit of practice.
It originated ostensibly from a yoga teacher named Joe Kapinski and was learned back in the seventies when the author was still in her teens and meditation courses were few and far between when compared to the veritable plethora of techniques we have easily accessible today. This teacher was, by all accounts, a very modest man, very humble, gentle, and kindly in every way. Everything we would expect from a true teacher of the light. He was, in particular, not interested in generating income or fame as many authors are–and I am quick to add that there is no fault in this at all. We all have to make a living. But this gentleman, Joe K. was really sincere, and very devoted to his craft, of teaching other people the form of meditation that he had learned.
And that's where it really starts to get interesting. Especially for those of you who are fans of my book The Evolution Angel and others like it. Joe downloaded, or "channeled" this meditation from an ancient Chinese master named Len Su who lived in the 6th century BC.
What I really like about the meditation is that unlike any other form of yoga or chakra theory I have every encountered anywhere, this meditation starts by seeing the chakras as a solidly based horizontal configuration. Horizontal? Indeed. And you really have to give this a try to see why this is so interesting. For when you do, you will feel yourself particularly well grounded, well balanced, well poised on this horizontal platform as it were, to proceed to then move along the vertical axis.
It just works. It WORKS really well, and you have to try it to see what I mean. Ms. Williams is an experienced writer and you can view her other books, like her one on the Lord's Prayer, easily by looking her up on Amazon.com. She is a very experienced writer. She knows exactly what she is doing and you will be able to tell that as soon as you start reading the first few pages. Her style is masterful, clear, concise, and angelic in its lightness and ease.
Here, following is the original introduction I wrote for her book. In the interests of space we had to reduce it down somewhat, but I have included the full form as follows. I don't know how soon Dana Williams will have her Kindle version up and ready to download for you to read, but I think it will not be long. Her book has been edited and is in the very last phases of polishing. I especially like the fact that her daughter is helping her with this process. Mother-daughter combos are particularly dynamic and potent in the teaching of the Light, at least in my own experience. By all means, please give this most interesting book a try, give the technique a try and I feel sure you will find it will release unknown potentials within you, perhaps even psychic abilities such as remote viewing, energetic healing abilities, and the like. OK, here is the original intro in its full form:
It is my distinct honor, and a pleasure to introduce to you a fascinating, and wholly original book by Dana Williams, called The Rose Way Meditation. I am Dr. Todd Michael, a retired trauma and emergency physician, and the author of The Evolution Angel and The Twelve Conditions of a Miracle, winner of the Nebula Award in New York, 2005, for "Best Spiritual Book of the Year." I have written many other books on spiritual and metaphysical subjects, and have studied, taught, and spoken about yoga, meditation, energy healing, and other related subjects for twelve years at venues like the Art Bell Show, Edgar Cayce's center, the A.R.E., in Virginia, and most of the larger venues on "the circuit."
I tell you this not to boast, that would be foolish, but simply to let you know I have a good sense of perspective about what kinds of books are truly effective and well-written. Because of my experience, I have become well-acquainted with the spectrum of books and teachings that are available for people like you, people seeking to improve themselves, people who are seeking to increase their knowledge about meditation, raise their conscious awareness, and otherwise maximize their true potential as human beings.
I think you would agree that we do not, as yet, completely know the full potential of the human mind-body complex. We are still barely tapping the full range, the full power of our incredible human organism to know, to see, to heal, and to manifest positive circumstances for ourselves and our loved ones.
The Rose Way meditation is a very significant tool that can help you move forward in the right direction in a decidedly powerful and sure-footed way. In all my travels and meetings with scores of other teachers, mentors, gurus, great monks, and others, including my own mentor Ram Dass, I have never encountered a meditation like the Rose Way. That is the thing that strikes me most powerfully about it: It is not a rehash of the same old stuff. Rather it is completely non-derivative. It is something new and unique. There simply are no other techniques with which it can be adequately compared.
The Rose Way form of meditation is not for those who want a quick and easy way. There is nothing wrong with wanting a quick and easy way, I don't want to sound judgmental about that at all, for I myself will resort to very simplistic and time-tested methods when I am confronted with particularly confusing and upsetting situations. There is surely a time and place for such methods.
The Rose Way offers a truly advanced form of meditation–a method which is somewhat detailed and complex. It includes, all in all, over fifty distinct operations that the practitioner goes through in a very orderly and complex way. Fifty components!" You might exclaim. "How can I ever learn to do that many things at once?"
But you need not worry at all. As it turns out, the steps of the meditation are very logical in their sequence¾almost like counting from one to fifty¾each step following from the preceding step in such a natural and orderly way that you will be able to master the entire technique within a very reasonable amount of time. And the way the meditation sequence is described in this powerful little book, is decidedly clear and concise, taking any confusion away, and offering very clear instructions.
In addition, there is a CD being produced that is designed to be played as you meditate, talking you through the steps as you learn them, so that you can easily assimilate the sequence involved and benefit from the amazing effects the meditation can have upon you. But, if you do not yet have this CD, do not worry, the technique can be and has been learned by many, many people with the simple written directions within.
Patajali, the famous author who authored the definitive Yoga Sutras, or Aphorisms of Yoga, about 1,900 years ago, as well as many other experts on meditation, have told us for centuries that meditation, in its various forms can allow the practitioner to develop what are called "siddhis,"—or powers, to use contemporary terminology. These can include the power to engage in remote viewing, the power to communicate with one's spirit guides and departed souls on the "other side," and the power to heal, the power to understand and correct, difficult diseases and emotional problems¾both within your own life and the lives of others.
When you read about the Rose Way, you will be naturally fascinated and almost spellbound by its orderly complexity, which is very logical, symmetrical, orderly, and synchronous in its technique. This book provides a new way of understanding your chakras and nervous system, seeing that they are even more beautifully constructed and synchronized than say, a fine watch. Those of you who have practiced other forms of meditation for many years—and there are so many millions of us now that can make that claim—will find this new and challenging sequence very refreshing, and almost unbelievably effective in raising your consciousness.
You are ready for the Rose Way. You must be. Or you wouldn't have come by this book. There are no accidences or "coincidences" in the Universe. You know that. Everything has a reason, a purpose, and a divine timing. If you are reading these words now, you are ready to proceed to learn what may be the most powerful form of meditation you have or ever will encounter¾a technique which will lift you from any energetic plateau, so that you can ascend to new heights of conscious awareness, and begin to actualize your true powers as a human being.
Many blessings to you and yours as you make your way to the Light.
Dr. Todd Michael

The entire movie world has descended on Long Island for the annual Hampton's Film Festival and Saturday was the Chairman's Reception.
The Hampton's looked more like Hollywood as movie heavy hitters showed up at the Chairman's Reception in East Hampton.
"It's really wonderful sort of to see one of my children be in the Hamptons Film Festival," said Stuart Suna, HIFF chairman. "I have a daughter Roe, 16, and another daughter Zoe who's 20. But seeing this festival as one of my children grow and blossom -- it's really exciting."
Newlyweds Alec and Hilaria Baldwin like the movie "Amore" in the festival but their favorite love story?
"It's the one we're doing right now," said actor Hilaria Baldwin. "It's the real life, love movie. Everyday is a love movie."
Dree Hemingway has her breakout role in the street. She's on Variety's "Top 10 to Watch" list you can say. Creativity is in her genes.
She was asked about being the granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway and how has he inspired her work.
"I think one of the things I've definitely taken from him is the exploration and being able to travel and being privileged enough to, which is amazing," said Hemingway.
New mom Sienna Miller came to the Hamptons for the very first time to support her film, "The Girl."
"I play Tippi Hedren in a film called "The Girl. "It's about the making of "The Birds" an Alfred Hitchcock film," said Miller.
Garnering the most attention at the festival is the Silver Lining Playbook starring Bradley Cooper. He's getting Oscar buzz, speaking of …
"What's my favorite Oscar movie of all time? Casablanca," said Hawk Koch, president of the Academy

Enjoyed it, but had to put some dijon mustard on the side. With out it the flavor was a little bland. Trying to think of a way to ramp up the mustard taste.

Best Humidifier Yet
Just got this plugged in today a few hours ago and LOVE it. Previously had a Lasko that was extremely noisy, this seems much quieter. Hope it lasts me years!!
Worked good
I can't say this humidifier is quiet - but it does put out a good amount of water per day. The tanks would be easier to fill if they had a flat top but are easy to carry and fit onto the unit well. The wheels seem sturdy. I would love it if it was less noisy, but I guess most of the evaporative type humidifiers have this issue. It was less noisy than a Sunbeam of similar size and seemed to be built better.

Flying lifesavers urge Black Country bank holiday fun seekers to stay safe
5:19pm Tuesday 15th April 2014 in News
BLACK Country people planning an Easter getaway are being urged to stay safe by air ambulance medics.
Flying lifesavers say they see a rise in call-outs over the bank holiday weekend with more traffic leading to more collisions.
Holiday fun can also end in disaster with burn injuries at barbecues and accidents related to sports including swimming, horse riding, hill walking and climbing.
Becky Tinsley, air operations manager for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said: "Naturally we all want to make the most of the long Easter weekend, and while we'd encourage people to have a good time, we're also asking the public to consider their safety and that of others."
Midlands Air Ambulance carries out over 2,000 missions each year, each mission costs the charity approximately £2,500. The charity is funded entirely by donations.

It's called '' Birth Tourism'' one of those clever new terms the media coins to talk about a trend. Here in Southern California, communities like Arcadia, Monrovia, Hacienda Heights , San Gabriel, Chino Hills and others too numerous to name, have seen an influx of ( largely ) Asian families, bringing pregnant women into this country on tourist visas, giving birth in so called ''maternity hotels'', typically run by overseas companies, then taking their newborns home.
They pay thousands of dollars to tour companies that facilitate these trips and these births. If you follow current law, you know that these babies are now U.S. citizens, some use the term "anchor babies''. That leads to accusations, which are hard to refute that the system is being manipulated. The babies are US citizens they have the right to return and go to school here for example, and perhaps bring their parents here via ''green cards'' when the children become adults. Some call it a scam, but at this point it's a legal scam.
It's not illegal for pregnant women to come into this country, and if they happen to give birth while they're here ? Well... what do you know about that ! Which brings me to today and Arcadia, with a large Chinese population, and a ''crackdown'' on Birth Tourism in that community that so far has resulted in at least 13 of these ''maternity hotels' being closed some are actual hotels.. some are converted homes that are leased often without the owner ever knowing what goes on inside. Arcadia succeeded in doing this largely using enforcement of zoning codes, which make it illegal to operate a business in a residential area. Police say they've gotten a lot of cooperation, which is nice, but it's certainly not even close to eliminating the problem, if you want to call it that.
Here's one perspective on the issue https://www.numbersusa.com/content/learn/issues/birthright-citizenship/birth-tourism.html
We're paying a lot of attention to this issue because it's important and because it's upsetting to people who ''play by the rules'' to become citizens. In fact, a controversial proposal by the head of the Antelope Valley Hospital to actually market its maternity facilities to Chinese women who can afford to come here , as a way to increase revenue and the viability of the hospital, created such a firestorm it's not clear if that proposal will even move forward now. Politicians such as Supervisor Mike Antonovich, who represents that area, opposed it as unethical . We're doing more on this controversy this week, so stay tuned.

Gwinnett County Police are investigating a series of car break-ins that began in October 2012 and have continued into January 2013.
Detectives have connected a total of 21 cases to the same suspect, according to Cpl. Jake Smith. Typically the suspect targets vehicles in parks and churches, Smith said.
This suspect has used victims' credit and debit cards at several retail locations following the break-ins. Ritter described him as a black male of average height and build who appears to be in his 30s or 40s. He has been seen using an older model white pickup truck and a four-door passenger car of unknown color.
The photo and video accompanying this article show the suspect leaving a Target in Roswell after making a purchase with a victim's stolen credit card. A photo of the white truck is included.
Anyone recognizing this suspect or his vehicle is asked to call GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-557-TIPS (8477).

A very dear friend of mine uses a method he calls "the eye test" to judge, among other things, the state of the predominantly African-American section of Anderson's west side. It's where he grew up. He is passionate about improving conditions for the total mix of people who live there — African American, white and Hispanic.
His "eye test" simply means "Look around you." Is there a beautiful tree where there was once just an ugly stump? Has a vacant lot strewn with broken glass become a joyful community garden? Do you see in the face of the people happiness and hope, or the face of isolation, despair, and desperation?
Look. What is the visible, tangible, measurable evidence that these questions are being answered? If you see it, great. If you don't, then ask why not. I join my friend and others in concern for the west side and its people.
Out of this concern, I recently did my own "eye test" drive through the area. It is an area roughly bordered by Brown-Delaware (E); Eighth Street (N); 25th Street (S); and Costello Drive (W). It's an area small enough to make a tangible difference, yet large enough to invite investment from anyone or any group that cares.
One afternoon as I was coming from downtown Anderson, I drove west on Historic Eighth Street. In a couple of minutes or so, I saw wonderfully painted, stately old mansions and homes, with a smattering of law offices and other businesses tucked here and there. Easy on the eyes.
But in another minute, I was crossing newly paved Madison Avenue. Far less colorful. Far less well kept. Although it had its bright spots, the section of the beautiful Eighth Street I was on a minute ago was pockmarked with blight — vacant lots, houses in disrepair, inferior streets and sidewalks, and other "eye test" evidence of neglect. Troubling.

Atlanta City Council members sparred over public access to their meeting on Monday. Our camera was kept out of a conference room briefing where council members discussed a controversial airport contract. A newspaper reporter was allowed inside to cover the meeting but when FOX 5's Morse Diggs tried to get a TV camera in, he was denied. After Morse protested, the camera was allowed in. The city hall meeting was held in part to discuss an airport ground transportation contract. FOX 5 I-Team reporter Dale Russell had done an investigation about business given to a long-time friend of mayor reed, his name is Darryl Anderson. "Right now we have an situation where you have someone who monitored themselves as well as competitors by doing the management and oversight of the contract, so that is essentially what this gets to -- for them to rebid it," said Atlanta City Councilmember Felicia Moore.The span of business awarded to A National, the company headed by Anderson is just too broad, Moore says. She said he should not be allowed to monitor and operate vehicles for hire as well. Mayor Kasim Reed has rejected the notion there had been any influence from him. "I had no role in it. There has been no documentation, no human being that suggested that I had any role," Reed said. Some City Councilmembers claimed that Moore has been grandstanding on the issue. "She said out of her mouth, 'I don't want to hear that in my office. I want to hear that out before the cameras. So we now have cameras," said Councilmember CT Martin. Moore did not have anything to say about the conclusion reached by Martin. She says she will continue with her push, saying that one of Anderson's contracts should be terminated. They will formally take up the issue on Wednesday. The public will be invited.

Born: July 15, 1947 in Dallas, Texas, United States
Like Syd Barrett, a common point of reference, Roky Erickson rose to cult-hero status as much for his music as for his tragic personal life; in light of his legendary bouts with madness and mythic drug abuse, the influence exerted by his garage-bred psychedelia was often lost in the shuffle. Born Roger Kynard Erickson on July 15, 1947, in Dallas, TX, he began playing the piano at age five; by age 12, he had also taken up the guitar. The child of an architect and would-be opera singer, Erickson dropped out of high school to become a professional musician. In 1965, he penned his most famous composition, "You're Gonna Miss Me," which he first recorded with a group called the Spades. The song and his high, swooping tenor brought him to the attention of another area band, the psychedelia-influenced 13th Floor Elevators, whose lyricist and jug player Tommy Hall invited Erickson to join; the Elevators soon cut their own version of "You're Gonna Miss Me," and took the single to number 56 on the pop charts in 1966.
The record's success earned the 13th Floor Elevators a deal with International Artists, but as their fame grew, so did their notoriety with local law enforcement officials, who took exception to the group's heavy experimentation with (and public support of) marijuana and LSD. The Elevators became the subject of considerable police harassment, and after Erickson was arrested for the possession of one lone joint in 1969, he pleaded insanity to avoid a prison term. A three-and-a-half year stint in the state's Hospital for the Criminally Insane followed; Erickson was diagnosed as a schizophrenic, and subjected to extensive electroshock therapy, Thorazine, and other psychoactive treatments.
Though released from the hospital in 1973, Erickson was never the same person; he returned to performing with a new band, the Aliens, but his songs — a series of horror film-influenced records including "Red Temple Prayer (Two-Headed Dog)," "Don't Shake Me Lucifer," and "I Walked With a Zombie" — found little success. He did retain a devoted cult following, however, but his popularity was fully exploited by managers who took advantage of his instability to draw the singer into a series of unfair publishing contracts that resulted in a steady stream of unauthorized releases from which Erickson earned not a cent. In 1982 he signed a legal affidavit declaring that a Martian had taken residence in his body, and gradually disappeared from music as the decade wore on.
By the 1990s, Erickson was struggling to survive on a $200 monthly Social Security stipend; after an arrest on mail theft charges (later dropped), he was re-institutionalized. In 1990, however, artists like R.E.M., ZZ Top, John Wesley Harding, and the Jesus and Mary Chain recorded his songs for the album Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye: A Tribute to Roky Erickson, which brought his work to a wider audience than ever before. In 1993, Erickson performed publicly for the first time in many years at the Austin Music Awards; a few months later, he returned to the studio with guitarists Charlie Sexton and the Butthole Surfers' Paul Leary to record a number of new songs. In 1995, Leary's bandmate King Coffey released Erickson's All That May Do My Rhyme on his Trance Syndicate label; four years later, Trance issued Never Say Goodbye, a collection of rare private recordings or unreleased Erickson compositions. (Coffey claims Erickson told him he was the first person to ever give him a royalty check for his music.)
In 2001, Sumner Erickson, Roky's brother and a successful classical musician, obtained custody of Roky, who had fallen into poor health. Under Sumner's watch, Roky began receiving proper medical and dental care for the first time in years, as well as more effective treatment for his psychological problems. Sumner also set up a charitable trust to help finance his brother's care, and with the help of sympathetic lawyers attempted to sort out the legal red tape that prevented Roky from being paid for his music. A fit and relatively lucid Roky Erickson began making occasional public appearances in Austin, Texas, and in March 2005 Roky spoke as part of a panel discussion on the 13th Floor Elevators at the South by Southwest Music Conference. Roky also made a brief musical appearance with a reunited lineup of the Explosives, and a documentary on Erickson, You're Gonna Miss Me, premiered at the affiliated South by Southwest Film Festival. This burst of activity coincided with the release of I Have Always Been Here Before: The Roky Erickson Anthology, a two-disc career overview compilation. Halloween, a set of live recordings from 79-81 with the Explosives was released in early 2008. by Jason Ankeny

Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban said he is
staying with the Tide Thursday, responding to reports that his agent talked to
a representative from the University of Texas.
The talk reportedly happened in January, just
a few days after Alabama's last national title win. According to the Associated
Press, Saban's agent talked to a Texas regent and former regent.
The AP reported that the parties talked about
the possibility of the Crimson Tide coach replacing Longhorns coach Mack Brown.
During the coach's weekly radio show Thursday
night, Saban said he knew nothing about it, and has not spoken to anyone about
that particular situation.
Saban added that he is too old to start over
someplace else, and that he and his wife Terry are happy at Alabama.
