Bathtime may sound like fun, but there's a lot to watch out for when bathing kids. So only give a baby or child a bath if the parent asks you to and if you feel comfortable doing it. Some kids can be extremely active, and that might make it hard to keep them safe in the tub. If a kid struggles or resists being put in the tub, don't force it. Instead of a full bath, clean the child up as best you can with a washcloth and let the parents know when they get home.
What if a parent hasn't said anything about bathing but a kid gets dirty while playing or eating? If that happens, wipe the child with a wet washcloth and change his or her clothes. If a child pees, poops, or throws up and it soaks through clothing enough that you think the child needs a bath, call the parents and ask what they'd like you to do. (You can also be prepared and ask this question when you first start babysitting for the family.)
If parents ask you to bathe their kids, ask if you can be there during bathtime to watch and learn before you do it yourself. That way you can learn the routine and find out where all the supplies are kept.
First, gather all the things you'll need, including:
If you're not quite ready to give a tub bath, give the baby a sponge bath instead. Here's how:
While bathing a baby, smile and talk in a gentle, soothing way.
If the family has a special "infant tub," use it. This plastic tub is sized for an infant and fits in the bathtub to make bathtime easier to manage.
Never leave an infant or young child in the tub alone for any reason. If you need to step out the bathroom, wrap the baby in a towel and take him or her with you.
Don't answer the phone or a text while a child is in the tub. Babies need your full attention during the entire bath.
Kids aren't as vulnerable as babies, but they are a lot more active. So be prepared for splashing!
Watch toddlers and young kids at all times. You'll want to be sure they don't slip and fall in the tub. If you're worried about kids hitting their heads on the tap, wrap it in a washcloth so they don't hurt themselves. To avoid falls, don't let kids stand up in the tub until it's time to get out.
Washing a kid isn't much different from washing a baby — make sure you wash hands, feet, faces, and hair well. Even at a young age, some kids can feel self-conscious about bathing in front of strangers. If you have a bashful kid who's embarrassed to be naked, draw the shower curtain to give him or her some privacy. Or you could bring a book or magazine into the bathroom with you and "read" while the child takes a bath, covering your face if you have to.
If you're looking after an older school-age child, ask parents how they want to handle bathtime. Depending on the child's age and maturity level, he or she may not need supervision.

The dragon-lords watched this genisis-apocolypse several more times, as life evolved and was raised up to sentient beings, only to be wiped from the face to the planet as the planar tides swept the demon's dimension close enough to the dragon-lord's for them to cross. The demons are only interested in the forces of living beings and have left the relics of the ages to rot in thier wake. It is in the ghosts of these lost civilizations that the current seintient beings found salvation. A scholar of the past discovered the approaching plane of demons, but it was to late to save them. The humanoids discovered his writings and approached the dragon-lords in a plea for shelter. The dragon-lords responded in various manners, some were benevolent, teaching the humanoids the ways to craft the defenses the dragon-lords used to safegaurd their holds while asking only for thanks in return. Some were tyrants, demanding slaves and blood sacrifices and only offer to shelter the beings that would serve them in their holds, not wanting to share their power with anyone. It was in this capacity of saviors to all the races that the dragon-lords truly became lords and allowed any creatures besides themselves to survive an apocolypse.

After a Regional Director issues a complaint in an unfair labor practice case, an NLRB Administrative Law Judge hears the case and issues a decision and recommended order, which can then be appealed to the Board in Washington. If no exceptions are filed, the judge's order becomes the order of the Board. An administrative law judge's decision is not binding legal precedent in other cases unless it has been adopted by the Board on review of exceptions; these judges function much like trial court judges hearing a case without a jury. Such hearings are conducted at the locality where the unfair labor practice allegedly occurred. On occasion, administrative law judges also issue decisions in non-complaint, post-election representation cases that may be appealed to the Board.

Releases from NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS, JOLIE HOLLAND, MAN MAN Hailed as Career Bests, MAVIS STAPLES Captures a Moment in Time on Live Recording, MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD Crack the Top 40 for the First Time
Billy Bragg Mr Love & Justice - in this momentous election year, the man who has dedicated his life and music to political action gave us his most intimate and introspective record yet, without losing the passion that has characterized this beloved firebrand 's career.
- "Classic Bragg: frequently fantastic folk-rock that keeps both the faith and your attention." -Village Voice - "Rather than being a return to form, it 's a leap forward in maturity, depth and nuance." -Paste
Bob Mould District Line - It is near impossible to calculate the level of impact or influence that Bob Mould has had on the last two decades of modern rock, from the Pixies to Nirvana, to Green Day to Daft Punk. District Line combines the fire of Mould's earliest work in Husker Du, the accessibility of his alternative rock, genre-defining trio Sugar, and the introspection found in his solo releases.
- "District Line is a ¬focused, gripping zigzag between fury and woe, scorched rock and folk-pop distress, much like the Hüskers' best records--now with a longer view." -Rolling Stone
- "He's rarely been more compelling." -Spin
DeVotchKa A Mad and Faithful Telling - 2008 found the Denver indie band -- who beautifully combines Eastern European bohemia with American prairie rock and south of the border melodies -- coming into their own with sold out tours, festival appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza and Red Rocks, and a record that charmed everyone from the Eastern bloc (a rare appearance in Moscow) to the online community (the much-discussed use of a DeVotchKa track on the Gears of War trailer)
- "Huge indie−rock anthems and lute−driven ballads defined by infallible melodies, heartbreaking arrangements, and dark, funny lyrics. It leaves you wondering whether to weep or dance." -Esquire
- "Cheerful, eclectic lunacy with a heart as big as the world * * * * " -Spin
Islands Arm 's Way - the 2008 release found the young, critically-acclaimed Montreal sextet heading in a surprising new direction. Their 2006 release, Return to the Sea, was heralded as a stunning work of impulsive outbursts and emotional explorations. Arm's Way saw the band naturally evolving a more lavish yet centered sound that showcased songwriter Nick Thorburn's astounding talent.
- "Freaky, transcendent stuff." -Filter
- "A rich tapestry of pop from a band that has fully coalesced under his [Nick Thorburn] self-proclaimed benevolent dictatorship. Their latest Arm 's Way is a sophisticated, majestic and visceral journey into the limelight." -Village Voice
Jolie Holland the Living and the Dead - the young songwriter with the incomparable voice adds rock n roll to her impressive resume that already includes folk and country and jazz on her third studio album with help from co-producer M. Ward and guitarist Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello). The results are hailed as a career best from critics and widely embraced by fans.
- "Jolie Holland's voice beguiles like something from an old 78.... she channels the folky, sultry, blues Joni Mitchell trademarked and conjures her own stunning takes on lost lovers and sly approaches." -Elle
- "Her fourth - and perhaps best - album foregoes the smoky speakeasy atmosphere of 2006 's Springtime Can Kill You for a more contemporary roots sound, which provides a more evocative backdrop for her signature vocals." -Paste
Lyrics Born Everywhere At Once - not just the title of Lyric Born's Anti Records debut but a statement about this most industrious multi-tasker's vida loca. The lyricist, producer, label exec, and non-stop live performer (2008 saw world tours, festival appearances and television gigs) never rests on his laurels and is always changing sh*t up and Everywhere is a perfect example: bored with the drum machine and over licensing rights, LB gathered a crew of top musicians and made a real live record, full of funk and feel, grooves and guts, topped off with Lyrics Born's unmistakable signature smoothness and loquacious flow.
- "Near-perfect party record...propelled by sweet soul melodies and rumbling funk grooves reminiscent of the Gap Band and the Ohio Players...crunchy, unstoppable beats that will have you coming back from more." - Mother Jones
- "On his second solo album, he sounds transformed - festive and celebratory, his smarts undiminished." -Vibe
Man Man Rabbit Habits - Part swampy juke joint brawlers, part smooth Philly warehouse doo-wop crooners, with a sprinkling of wild-eyed, demon-haunted art hustler, and a hint of punky kindergarten playroom Pollyannas, Man Man brought their incomparable vision of "pop music" to bear with Rabbit Habits. 2008 saw the roustabouts on tour non-stop with labelmate Tim Fite, indie darlings Yeasayer and at every festival ever conceived (Coachella, Bumbershoot, SD Street Scene, ACL, Voodoo)
- "While the band still has its head in the clouds, or beyond, it has made its finest, most listenable album to date." -Filter
- "One of the year's best rock albums (devoid of nearly any guitar parts, mind you)." -Pitchfork
Mavis Staples Live: Hope at the Hideout - Mavis Staples saw her life 's work singing alongside Dr King and marching for civil rights redeemed with the 2008 election results, and suddenly this live record, full of gospel classics and freedom songs, is a testament to the uplifting hope and certainty of success that has marked her 50+ year career.
- "Whether fronting the Staples Singers or on her own, Mavis Staples has always fared best in a live environment, where her powerhouse of a voice can take any lyric and transform it into an inspirational anthem...this is Mavis Staples at her fiery best." -Relix
- "She sat in at lunch counters and marched with King..now Mavis' marvelous new Live: Hope at the Hideout revisits that era with personal recollections and brilliantly evoked songs from (or recast for) the movement... if this concert doesn't get your heart pumping, check your pulse." -Philadelphia Daily News
Michael Franti & Spearhead All Rebel Rockers - 2008 saw some well-deserved recognition for the indefatigable Micheal Franti and Spearhead. Their sixth studio album cracked the Billboard Top 40 (debuting at #39) for the first time. They drew an unprecedented 70,000+ fans and activists to Michael 's Power to the Peaceful festival in San Francisco and closed out the acclaimed KCRW World Music festival at the Hollywood Bowl, keeping the 17,000-strong crowd dancing through the set. Television appearances, 130 tour dates, film festivals and more kept the hardest working band in rock cheerfully occupied for the year.
- "An album of shimmying, pop-reggae...it 's a well deserved holiday in the sun." -Rock Sound
- "More specific, hopeful, and incendiary than ever....All Rebel Rockers represents his most canny mixture of political topicality and musical accessibility." -Utne Reader
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! - if there was a single record that came out to universal acclaim this year, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! is definitely a top contender. Nick and mates kicked off the year as Plug Impact Award honorees, and high profile nominations from the Q Awards and Mojo and two wins at the Austrailian Age awards (Best Band and Best Album) fueled the international recognition. The record has already made the "Best Of" lists of Blender, Mojo, The Guardian UK, The Times UK, Uncut and Paste magazines. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds have been tapped to curate the inaugural Australian All Tomorrow 's Parties, their Hollywood Bowl performance was one of the shows of the year and Nick talked smack with Terry Gross on NPR 's "Fresh Air." It was a very good year.
- "The album is a triumph from first to last." -Observer Music Monthly
- "t's not every goth-punk fiend who can celebrate his fiftieth birthday with an album as loud, filthy and brilliant as Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!" -Rolling Stone
One Day As A Lion One Day As A Lion - the reemergence of the year was less about Axl Rose and all about Zack de la Rocha. His incendiary partnership with Jon Theodore in One Day As A Lion set the music community aflame with some of the most aggressive and original recordings heard all year. The two are currently at work on their full-length release, coming soon.
- "Wrathful and unyielding, the music pushes Rage's revolutionary essence further into the faces of listeners, eliminating any chance at misinterpreting these calls to arms as mere boogie-down rock." - LA Times
- "One Day as a Lion bristles with the street-level vigor that band [RATM] once embodied." - Time Out New York
- "There isn't any filler here; it's all the aural ignition of a gasoline bomb going off in your ears." -All Music Guide
Tim Fite Fair Ain 't Fair - Fair Ain't Fair is a collection of the most seasoned, reflective and charming work the genre-defying Tim Fite has ever produced. On it he growls about greed and avarice, topics manifest in last year's Over The Counter Culture (the acclaimed, free, web-only release which has topped 100,000 downloads this month), but told here with more empathy, more human-ness - perhaps signs of a deeply engaged artist growing up.
- "His new album confirms that this enigmatic, genre-bending songwriter is one of rock 'n ' roll 's most subversive renaissance men." - Esquire
- "One of those albums that defies anyone to categorize or ignore it." - Chicago Tribune
Xavier Rudd Dark Shades of Blue - dusky and cool, the album is more sober than any work Xav has ever done, though it should not be mistaken for temperate. Guitar-driven jams, mixed by Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age), expand on a sound only hinted at on previous releases, and distortion often supplants the pretty jangly guitars heard on earlier work. Xav spent 2008 touring the world and scoring surf films like Matthew McConaughey 's comedy Surfer, Dude and the documentaries Highwater and Between the Lines.
- "Occasionally I encounter a work that so eloquently describes the human condition that my futile attempts to capture its essence in a review seem almost absurd. This album is one such work. Xavier Rudd's Dark Shades of Blue is an absolute tour de force and unequivocally his most powerful work to date." -Jambase

Kestrel weather meters
Posted 22 February 2011 - 04:50 PM
Any thought or feedback?
Posted 23 February 2011 - 11:54 AM
Visit my website, "The Paranormal DESTINATION"
Posted 23 February 2011 - 07:00 PM
Environmental data is crucial in any investigation. These meters do provide that data, and if someone was starting out I would recommend they obtain these. The concept of a portable meter over larger more stabilized devices does have a few slight drawbacks, but the portability also is a plus. About the only downside, and this holds true for any consolidated device that performs multiple functions, is that equipment failure will take out all capabilities. Separate devices provide some redundency in event that one becomes defective.
They worked GREAT when I was a fire fighter out in california(although the chiefs used them...us FFs used the belt weather kit lol) I am trying to budget a few of these in.
Also, I did not want to start another topic, but what about 4 gas analyzers? They measure CO, CO2, CH4(LEL/UEL) and O2 levels...which might be a cause for "the paranormal". They can be quite expensive also, but I am sure if you can find a cause from just ONE report, it might save someone from long-term health or life safety issues that MIGHT be a cause and I think it will be well worth it for that reason.
Anyways, thanks for the input CaveRat

The Kestrel 4500 is really nice, you can take a snapshot of all weather parameters (date, time, wind direction & speed, barometric pressure, humidity, dewpoint, wind chill, and more...) with a simple press of a button. Or you can configure it to log the weather data at a specified sample rate. The Kestrel 4500 is small enough to easily fit in a shirt pocket and has a red backlit display for night use.
P.O.S.T. Paranormal
Posted 24 February 2011 - 11:56 AM
Our association does have a four gas meter and all new investigation sites are tested as a matter of protocol on the initial visit if for no other reason than to simply establish a baseline for future data.
Visit my website, "The Paranormal DESTINATION"
Posted 27 February 2011 - 09:46 AM
You are right about the LEL/UEL, you should be able to smell propane/methane before it becomes dangerous(the reason for the nasty smell chemsit add to them lol) same with an O2 rich environment, wont cause really any health issues.
Posted 13 March 2011 - 02:50 PM
I was curious why I dont see these in paranormal investigating. They are not cheap by any means, but the Kestrel 4000 and 4500 will take all environmental conditions you can think of and stores it for later review.
Any thought or feedback?
My team uses the Kestrel 4000. It is very useful. IMHO I think hand held weather stations are a must for investigations. The data it supplies is invaluable. It was worth the prize.

Akron live review
Akron prizes golden ticket to rare show By David Giffels
One of the things I like about Akron is that we don't take our privileges for granted. We are good children when invited to fortune's table.
So the lobby conversations preceding Tom Waits' Akron Civic Theatre concert Sunday evening generally began with statements of surprise and gratitude that the revered American songwriter had chosen Akron for one of his rare and fabled shows, and how lucky each of us was to have scored a ticket.
A Tom Waits show is not simply a concert. It is an event celebrating a particular kind of cult figure. Waits (recently ranked No. 4 on Paste magazine's listof the 100 best living songwriters) might not be able to fill Quicken Loans Arena, but he will always be able to draw people from all over the country, willing to pay any price to see him. When he feels like playing, that is. Which isn't all that often.
So in the lobby Sunday, there were wide-eyed tales of pounding away at the Ticketmaster Web site on the morning that tickets went on sale, and suddenly being transported into a Wonka-like fourth dimension.
The golden ticket!
There was a realization that virtually all of the 2,500 in attendance had obtained this privilege within seconds of one another -- the show sold out in 10 minutes -- and that people had come from all over the country for this, one of only eight concerts on this tour.
A pair of $65 tickets for Sunday's concert sold for $911 on eBay, after drawing 49 bids.
We met fans who'd flown in from Las Vegas. We learned that Square Records in Highland Square was overrun with out-of-town record hounds killing time Sunday afternoon before the doors opened. We encountered strangers who had no idea such a glorious place as the Akron Civic Theatre existed -- or even Akron, for that matter.
``It's gaudy,'' I overheard someone say as he took in the ornate interior, ``but it works.''
So it was an event, and it was an event within an event.
There is a Tom Waits ``type,'' a sort of carefully outfitted midcareer beatnik drawn to the gravelly, cinematic, bordello-troubadour character Waits embodies. (There haven't been this many porkpie hats in downtown Akron since the Hatterie up and moved.)
And so, for us natives who commiserated in the lobby, the question was inevitable: Why Akron?
We do this. It's our nature.
When people say they chose Akron of their own free will, especially for such a special event, we stop to ask why.
I had speculated about this myself in the weeks since I scored my golden ticket and had come up with a pretty decent body of evidence. For years, one of Waits' main sidemen was horn player Ralph Carney, who grew up here and began his career playing with Akron New Wave oddballs Tin Huey. And Waits has a long association with Jim Jarmusch, the iconoclastic Akron-born filmmaker. (Both artists wear their Akron-ness with pride.)
He also worked with the late Robert Quine, a relentlessly inventive guitarist and yet another Akron native.
But those are literal connections. I like to believe Waits chose Akron for stylistic reasons, the very same reasons that prompt this question in the first place. The idea that it is a place with shaky confidence, gritty and beat-down, but doggedly optimistic. These could well be the adjectives describing a character in one of Waits' songs.
But just to keep us honest, we learned last week that Waits had added a surprise midnight show in Cleveland on Sunday. So even as we reveled in our privilege, we could not avoid the realization that he was gracing us with his presence while a limousine idled at the backstage door, ready to whisk our hero out of town before his boot heels had cooled.
We realized that Cleveland, once again, would manage to stick its fingers into our cake.
And, yeah, it seems as though Tom Waits understood us so well that he chose us on purpose just so he could write that bittersweet ending.

In the latest look at stocks ordered by largest market capitalization, Russell 3000 component Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (OHI - Get Report) was identified as having a larger market cap than the smaller end of the S&P 500, for example Ryder System, Inc. (R), according to The Online Investor.Market capitalization is an important data point for investors to keep an eye on, for various reasons. The most basic reason is that it gives a true comparison of the value attributed by the stock market to a given company's stock. Many beginning investors look at one stock trading at $10 and another trading at $20 and mistakenly think the latter company is worth twice as much — that of course is a completely meaningless comparison without knowing how many shares of each company exist. But comparing market capitalization (factoring in those share counts) creates a true "apples-to-apples" comparison of the value of two stocks. In the case of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. ( OHI - Get Report), the market cap is now $4.21B, versus Ryder System, Inc. ( R) at $4.20B.

The Delta SKY360° Club covers a lot of ground. In fact, it's actually a combination of three classic rooms: the Carew Atrium, the Puckett Atrium and 573. By linking this terrific trio of adjoining venues, you have by far the largest possible indoor space at Target Field.
That's space enough for super-large events like fundraisers, trade shows and other occasions where you want to spread out and give yourself room to roam. You'll find out: it's fairly remarkable what happens when you take down a few walls and open up your world.
The three venues that comprise the Delta SKY360° Club are named in honor of Rod Carew, Harmon Killebrew and Kirby Puckett. Three Twins who were great players and upstanding men. From one end to the other, it's a stroll through Major League Baseball history.
Globally recognized Delaware North Sportservice and Executive Chef Pastor Jimenez are exclusive caterers to events held at the Delta SKY360° Club. And that makes for a truly delicious experience.
We felt it was time to "shake up" our annual event, and Target Field gave us the opportunity
to produce the show in a state-of-the-art, exciting venue. We received high praise from
exhibitors and attendees, and look forward to producing our next Food & Wine Experience
here in 2012.
Tom Gavarus, Director of Marketing and Operations, Greenspring Media Group
See Target Field from behind the scenes by treating guests to a private tour.
Add a layer of fun by having Twins mascot T.C. make an appearance at your event.
Make a statement with a full-color graphic or message on our video board.
This vast space combines three separate rooms, making it ideal for galas, trade shows, fundraisers and more. The atmosphere is gigantic.
As part of your Delta SKY360° Club rental, you receive use of an in-house sound system, a wireless microphone and an iPod hookup.
The Delta SKY360° Club wraps around Target Field from first to third base and features unmatched views of the field and video boards, and a city skyline vista that's positively stunning.
Three venues linked make for a hugely dramatic experience. And several distinct ceiling heights make it feel even bigger.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 18, No. 2 December 1991 Dale Buckmaster UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE and Kok-Foo Theang ERNST & YOUNG AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF EARLY EMPIRICISM IN U.S. ACCOUNTING LITERATURE Abstract: Little or nothing is said of empiricism in U.S. accounting literature during the first half of the twentieth century in accounting history literature. The objectives of this study are threefold: (1) to determine if an empirical accounting literature existed prior to 1950; (2) to determine if pre-1950 empiricism was extensive enough and substantive enough to have influenced the development of accounting thought; and (3) to compare pre-1950 empirical work with contempo-rary academic research. It is concluded that empirics were common prior to 1950 from examining a sample (approximately forty percent) of volumes (clusters) of The Accounting Review, The Journal of Ac-countancy, Michigan Business Review, The American Accountant and the N.A.C.A. Bulletin. One hundred eighteen articles and eleven books and monographs are classified as "empirical" in this study. A sample was drawn from the books and monographs and classi-fied using several recently developed taxonomies of accounting litera-ture. This sample included works in several accounting specializations and also included works by both academic and non-academic authors from all of the journals. The empirics found in most of the studies were essential to the studies and not peripheral. However, inferential statistics were rarely used and the designs of the studies were very primitive. The sample yielded no evidence of a transition to a contem-porary hypothetico-deductive paradigm. While not common, there were attempts at "positivism." However, the authors of most financial accounting studies were concerned with normative theory. Empiri-cism was extensive enough and substantive enough to have had con-siderable influence on normative theorists and the development of the accounting literature of the period. This research was made possible, in part, by a grant from the KPMG Peat Marwick Faculty Development Fund at the University of Delaware. The authors wish to thank Barbara Merino, Richard Vangermeersch, Araya Debessay, Scott Jones, Fred Stiner, and three anonymous referees for their valuable comments.

CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK, Utah Larry Aberback studied the banks of the Colorado River in quiet reflection and then posed a question many of the others on the commercially guided float trip had silently wondered.
What happened to all those dying bushes? Is it drought? the elementary school teacher from New York City asked during a trip through Cataract Canyon in July, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. Its kind of sad.
Sad, in this case, is in the eyes of beholder. The dying stands of bushes are tamarisk a non-native, invasive species from Eurasia introduced to the American West more than a century ago. Tamarisk has taken over the banks of many Western rivers and is particularly thick along the Colorado in Canyonlands.
People sitting in the raft next to Aberback had a totally different view of the dying bushes. As Westerners involved in the environment, they saw the defoliating of tamarisk as a step in the right direction to allowing the return of native species.
The question then remains: Is the death of tamarisk sad or long overdue?
National Park Service officials say evidence of tamarisk along the river corridor dates back to the early 1900s. Pictures of tamarisk from 1914 show it was well established by then. Controlled flows from dams upstream seem to have helped the invasive species thrive starting in the 1950s long before 257,400 acres in southeast Utah became Canyonlands National Park in 1964. The park was eventually expanded to more than 337,000 acres. Some groups and citizens are now seeking further protection of the land around the park in the form of a proposed Greater Canyonlands National Monument.
The war against tamarisk in the West has taken many forms through the years cutting, burning and poisoning but researchers with the U.S. Department of Agriculture finally found something that appears to be making a major difference by visiting the homeland of the plant to bring it to the battle.
Tamarisk leaf beetles were released along the Colorado River in 2004, upstream of Canyonlands National Park. Other releases happened in 2005 and 2006. It didnt take long before the work of the beetles was evident along the entire stretches of both the Green and Colorado rivers within the park.
The beetles are still at work it takes several cycles of infestations to actually kill tamarisk stands but some wonder if it was necessary and others filed a lawsuit against the Department of Agriculture to re-evaluate the program.
Some people are looking for a return to the (19th-century explorer) John Wesley Powell times. We will never see that. We have these large dams that control the flows and we have manipulated all these different elements, said Steve Young, a longtime backcountry river ranger in Canyonlands. The system was kind of going into a balance with tamarisk and now we have screwed it up again.
For decades, tamarisk was viewed as a water-sucking, wildfire-enhancing, bank-choking, do-nothing-for-wildlife invader. Federal and state governments continue to spend millions in an effort to control tamarisk.
More recently, researchers are finding tamarisk does have positive impacts on river ecosystems and some wildlife species have figured out how to use it. Birds common to riparian areas often use tamarisk for nesting, including the endangered southwestern willow flycatcher.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the Department of Agriculture stopped releasing beetles in response to the 2009 lawsuit brought by the Center for Biological Diversity to protect species like the willow flycatcher, but the cat was already out of the bag, so to speak.
Given that the beetles are already on the ground this was a less than satisfactory result, said Noah Greenwald, endangered species program director for the Center for Biological Diversity. We are not fans of tamarisk, but simply removing it with an invasive species only completes half the job because it fails to address the changes in hydrology and habitat that let tamarisk take over in the first place and thus provide no assurance that native riparian vegetation will take tamarisks place. This is harmful to the flycatcher and many other species.

Finding voices
Galactic gets a little help from their friends
By: Skylar Browning
There's an extensive backstory to Galactic's highly anticipated new album, due out in August, and it's full of the New Orleans-based funksters' creative collaborations, post-Katrina struggles and wrestling with their identity sans a frontman. But, really, the impetus for the new album can be boiled down to one thing: the band's remaining five musicians suck as singers.
"We realized and are very accepting of the fact that none of us are really a great vocalist," drummer Stanton Moore said in a recent interview. "And if none of us have the ambition to be a great singer, then we should leave the singing up to somebody else."
For From the Corner to the Block, the band's first album in three years and the first since lead singer Theryl DeClouet split from the group in late 2004, that "somebody else" turned out to be some of the biggest MCs in the business. Lyrics Born, The Coup's Boots Riley, Cajun rapper Juvenile, Mr. Lif, Digable Planets' Ladybug Mecca and Jurassic 5's Chali 2na, among others, all contributed to the new album. The result is Galactic's signature funk-laden instrumentals fronted by a diverse array of vocal stylings; no MC appears more than once, and all 14 tracks feature at least one guest artist.
"It was a long process, but it was worth it," says Moore. "There was always an underlying concern that maybe this wouldn't work very well. But it turned out as good as we could have expected, or maybe better."
The process started three years ago, shortly after DeClouet left the band. Galactic—Moore, saxophonist Ben Ellman, bassist Robert Mercurio, guitarist Jeff Raines and keyboardist Richard Vogel—entered the studio expecting to make their first instrumental album, an extension of what their live shows have become. Then, as Moore puts it, "with the storm and everything, releasing a new record got prolonged. We wanted to make an impact since it was going to be so long since the last time we had released a record." That's when they put together a wish list of MCs and musicians to appear as guests on the album.
"It's not like we just woke up one day and were like, 'Hmmm, we need to do something different. What should we do? Metal? No. Jazz? No. Oh, let's do some hip-hop,'" explains Moore. "It was a very natural progression. We had already done a lot, where different MCs and acts had opened up for us and then come out and sat in with us, or we'd learn a few of their songs. It was gradually po inting in that direction. Then we got the call to help back up Juvenile on Jimmy Kimmel's show, so we learned some more of his tunes. It all happened very naturally."
Katrina hit early in the process, rendering Galactic's New Orleans studio structurally unsafe. The band accepted free studio time at a facility in the Pocono Mountains of New York and completed much of the album there. Final tracks were laid down at another studio in Dallas, Texas, with some MCs traveling to record re-written lyrics and Moore re-recording all of the drums. In all, the album took two and a half years to complete.
"Through this process we've developed [as a band]," says Moore. "It's helped us learn how to work more creatively [with other artists] and it's helped us get to a point of understanding what we can do. If anything, I'm happy with the way this record came out, but I'm also super-excited about what we're able to accomplish now in the future."
Now set up in a new New Orleans studio, Moore says Galactic's future plans are simple: record an instrumental album (he says more than enough material is already there), or they'll continue to seek out singers and MCs for more collaborations. Either way, making From the Corner to the Block reinvigorated the band.
"The bottom line is, whatever we do next, we have several options, which is nice," he says.
In the meantime, the band is focused on generating excitement for the new album with a pre-release summer tour, and then following up with a fall tour that will include at least two MCs at every concert. When Galactic hits Missoula and Whitefish next week, Moore says the sets will be purely instrumental, much like the band's appearances last summer, but he and Ellman have found ways to play a couple of the new tracks live.
"We'll give a little taste," says Moore. "There is one song on there with Monk Boudreaux [the famous Big Chief of the Mardi Gras tribe, the Golden Eagles] that Ben and I have figured out how to do live with some loops—Ben's triggering some and I'm triggering some, and it's hard to explain but it sounds like music when you hear it."
Moore adds the band should be coming back through Missoula in the fall.
"We love it out there, and we wanted to get there in the summer," he says, noting that Ellman and others make it a priority to fly-fish during their stay. "But I imagine we'll swing back after the release. And when we come back it will be even greater."
Just as long as the band members aren't the ones singing.

Coding the JavaFX TableView
Step 4: Wire Up the Controls
Next, go back to Scene Builder and wire up the button, TableView, and each TableRow component to each FXML declaration in the code with the matching name. Do this within the Properties section in Scene Builder. Save the file, and get ready to complete the table sample.
Step 5: Initialize the TableView
We're almost done. All we need to do is add code to initialize the table, and then wire up the button on the window to use binding to add items. First, make your application main class implement the
javafx.fxml.Initializable interface, as shown here:
public class InvoiceTable extends Application implements Initializable { //... }
With this interface, you need to implement the
initialize() method, which the JavaFX runtime will call for you when the window is first displayed:
@Override public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) { //... }
Next, you need to set up the table's columns by telling each column which part of the
InvoiceEntry class it maps to. The name in quotes must match a field in the class, which must have the appropriately named getter method (i.e. "itemId" must have a
getItemId() method):
// Set up the invoice table itemIdCol.setCellValueFactory( new PropertyValueFactory<InvoiceEntry,Integer>("itemId") ); itemNameCol.setCellValueFactory( new PropertyValueFactory<InvoiceEntry,String>("itemName") ); itemQtyCol.setCellValueFactory( new PropertyValueFactory<InvoiceEntry,Integer>("qty") ); itemPriceCol.setCellValueFactory( new PropertyValueFactory<InvoiceEntry,String>("price") );
Note that columns that display
Strings must map to a class field of type
Integers must map to
javafx.beans.property.SimpleIntegerProperty, and so on. This sets up the relationship between the table column and the data, and allows binding to work.
Next, adding data to the table is done with two lines of code; the first to create an
ObservableList (again, for binding), and the next to assign it to the table as its data:
data = FXCollections.observableArrayList(); // create the data invoiceTbl.setItems(data); // assign the data to the table
Whenever a new
InvoiceEntry is added to this
ObservableList, from anywhere in the application, the TableView control will automatically be updated via JavaFX binding. To implement this, add the
generateInvoiceEntry() method, as shown here:
private void generateInvoiceEntry() { // Add to the data any time, and the table will be updated InvoiceEntry entry = new InvoiceEntry(); itemNum++; entry.itemId.set(itemNum); entry.itemName.set("Item " + itemNum); entry.price.set("" + (1.99 + itemNum) ); entry.qty.set(itemNum + 10); data.add(entry); }
Step 6: Add Entries to the TableView
generateInvoiceEntry() method generates a new
InvoiceEntry object with incrementing values, and adds it to the
data. You can call this method in the
onAddItem() method, which itself gets called when you click on the "Add Item" button:
public void onAddItem(ActionEvent event) { // Add to the data any time, and the table will be updated generateInvoiceEntry(); }
All Done! Go ahead and run the application, and click the "Add Item" button repeatedly to see how binding updates the table for you. In the end, not much code is needed to get a bunch of functionality with JavaFX 2.0.
Happy Coding!

Great Gatherings: Dining Out in Style
Marchesa makes magic at New York's Crown restaurant

Recipes for This Story
Warm Artichoke Salad
Filet Mignon with Stilton and Port Reduction
Sauteed Broccoli Rabe
Tart au Citron
There's no rule that dictates an intimate dinner is best enjoyed at home. An unexpected setting and the pleasure of being served holds special allure. Even better—why not a meal prepared by a favorite chef? It's an idea that appealed to fashion designers and cofounders of Marchesa, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, above, as they planned a celebration dinner in New York. A dining room in the Upper East Side's Crown restaurant would be their red carpet, with the table dressed in pieces from their own couture tabletop collection—Marchesa by Lenox—for a color-saturated setting that struts with unforgettable attitude.
In the paneled dining room of Crown, the two style setters fashioned a table for eight near the fireplace. Experts in draping beautiful garments on famous bodies, Georgina and Keren designed a multilayered look for the table that started with two tablecloths: a gray-and-white hand-blocked print to match the napkins and an overlay of white linen. They continued the layering using two alternating colors of their delicately patterned bone china placed atop silver trays at each setting. The "Empire Pearl" dinnerware they chose "was a collection created to emulate the embroideries we use on our garments," explains Georgina.
As with a runway event, where accessorizing can make a difference, the table's centerpiece of cobalt-blue Italian glass vases filled with pink peonies and trailing strands of fuchsia Phalaenopsis orchids offers a striking embellishment. Matching motifs on vases and china add to the charm of the arrangement.
Whether their stage is the runway or a table, the duo's style is inimitable. "Entertaining is the perfect way to translate my vision by incorporating my own vintage elements," says Keren. "I like to channel creativity into mediums that stretch beyond fashion."

For visual variety, Georgina and Keren alternate place settings of Marchesa's "Empire Pearl" bone china in indigo and white. The platinum motif—inspired by intricate bead detail on their fashions—is also etched on cobalt-blue art glass vases from Italy. "Paisley Bloom" goblets are classic in a subtle etched pattern. Lighted tapers in "Gossamer" crystal candlesticks illuminate the arrangements. All items available from Lenox. Flowers are by Jacqueline Elfe of Stellar Style Events. "Cartouche" hand-blocked cotton napkins from John Robshaw.
Flatware Fashion
For special occasions, choose flatware with a pattern that reflects light, like the "Braided Opulence" stainless flatware by Marchesa for Lenox. Its design references the shimmer of beadwork that Georgina and Keren might use to festoon a ball gown.
Framed in Silver
To achieve an extravagant attitude, indigo-blue "Empire Pearl" plates with raised enamel accents are anchored by basic white "Federal" plates—both at Lenox —and vintage Gorham sterling trays. Linen tablecloth by Sferra.
Bottles of Marchesa's signature fragrance, Parfum D'Extase—available from Sephora—make stunning gifts for guests. The chunky crystal vessels embellished with Swarovski-studded ribbon epitomize the romance of the occasion.
Patina vs. Polish
Shiny polished silver seems elegant and formal, but maintenance can be time-consuming. Rethink the aesthetic of the table and consider the benefits of using vintage silver pieces that have tarnished to a timeless, alluring patina.
All in the Name
To complement vintage sterling silver place-card holders rendered in the form of an ancanthus leaf, elegant silver-ink calligraphy artfully adorns simple white cards softened with rounded corners. Calligraphy by Deborah Nadel Design.
Menu & Shopping List
Nothing provides ambience like candlelight, so Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig assembled an assortment of ivory pillar candles in varying heights and arranged them on a silver tray. They suggest burning candles prior to a party to give them soft and shapely silhouettes.
You don't need to attend a ball to enjoy this menu from Crown restaurant in New York City. Chef/owner John Delucie and pastry chef Aleishe Baska have shared their recipes with us.

Filet Mignon with Stilton and Port Reduction
The classic combination of Stilton cheese and port becomes the accompaniment for this impressive main course. Ask the butcher to tie the steaks so they are 2 inches thick.
For Filet Mignons:
8 (8-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks, tied to a 2-inch thickness
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Recipe from Chef John Delucie
Tarte au Citron
These lovely individual tarts can make their appearance any season of the year—simply substitute whichever of your favorite citrus fruit is in season for the garnish and purchased juice for the blood orange juice.
The shells, Myer lemon curd, and blood orange gelée can all be made a day in advance. Follow the directions for softening the chilled gelée when you assemble the tarts.
Tart Dough:
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Meyer Lemon Curd:
• 1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup purchased crème fraîche
• 1/4 cup Meyer lemon juice or lemon juice
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
Blood Orange Gelée:
• 3/4 cup blood orange juice
• 2 tablespoons light-color corn syrup
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
• 2 ounces white chocolate
• Grapefruit, orange, blood orange and/or other citrus sections
Tart Dough:
In medium bowl beat butter with electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add powdered sugar and salt; beat until smooth. Add egg; beat until combined. Beat in as much flour as you can with mixer. Stir in any remaining flour with wooden spoon. Wrap dough; chill 1 hour or until easy to handle. Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll to 1/8 inch thick. If necessary, chill rolled sheet of dough until firm enough to handle.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Using 3-1/2-inch round cutter, cut 10 rounds
from tart dough, rerolling scraps as necessary. Transfer rounds to 10 (3-inch) individual tart pans* (measure across top). Ease pastry into
pans, press into sides, and trim edges. Prick bottoms and sides of tart
shells. Place on large baking sheet. (Cover and chill any remaining dough for another use.) Bake tart shells 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheet on wire rack. Remove shells from pans.
Meyer Lemon Curd:
In small bowl sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon gelatin over 1 tablespoon cold water. Let stand 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in medium saucepan combine granulated sugar, crème fraîche, lemon juice, and salt. Bring to boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Place egg yolks in small bowl. Gradually whisk about half of hot mixture into egg yolks. Return egg mixture and gelatin to saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk in butter until melted. Strain finished lemon curd through fine mesh sieve into small bowl. Place bowl with lemon curd in larger bowl of ice water; stir for a few minutes to cool mixture. Cover surface of lemon curd with plastic wrap. Store cooled lemon curd in refrigerator until ready to use. (Curd will thicken as it chills.)
Blood Orange Gelée:
In small saucepan combine blood orange juice, corn syrup, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Bring to boil.
In small bowl combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and 1-1/2 teaspoons gelatin. Whisking constantly, slowly pour sugar mixture into boiling liquid. Continue to boil, whisking constantly, for 1 minute to dissolve gelatin. Transfer mixture to shallow bowl. Chill 45 minutes or until partially set. (You should be able to spread mixture onto plate, where it should hold its shape. If mixture thickens too much in refrigerator, place bowl of gelée into larger bowl of warm water and whisk until softened.) Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of partially-set mixture onto center of 10 salad plates. Using small offset spatula, spread mixture on each plate. Cover plates; chill until gelée is firm.
In small heavy saucepan melt white chocolate over low heat. Using pastry brush, lightly coat inside of each baked tart shell with thin layer of melted white chocolate. (This will prevent any moisture from lemon curd from making tart shells soggy before serving.) Let stand until set. (To speed process, place coated tart shells in refrigerator for a few minutes.) Spoon curd into each prepared tart shell. Use small offset spatula to smooth top of lemon curd to edges of shells so it forms an even surface. Decorate top of each tart with citrus segments. Place tart on top of gelée on each plate to serve. Makes 10 servings.
Tip: If you do not have 10 tart pans, bake as many tart shells as you have pans for. Cool slightly and remove shells from pans. Bake remaining shells. Once tart shells have cooled, they can be tightly wrapped and stored overnight until you're ready to use.

Mail Preference Service -- Direct Marketing Association, P.O. Box 643, Carmel, NY 10512-0643Companies that with work within the DMA's guidelines will stop sending you junk mail for five years, at which point you'll need to re-register. Also, avoid signing up for contests and coupons online or via snail mail -- it's a sure sign that you'll be added to that group's mailing lists.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Last year, Americans were sent about 84 billion pieces of junk mail, according to the U.S. Post Office, and they have apparently had enough. Cities such as Chicago and Seattle have established "Do Not Mail" registries, similar to the popular "Do Not Call" initiative, to block companies form sending junk mail to consumers who sign up. The campaigns are a big hit with consumers. In fact, 81% of Americans "across all ideologies, age groups and income levels" support them, according to a study on privacy and advertising mail from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. Frustration with mailboxes cluttered with fliers and catalogs has finally caught up with junk mail companies, and it's been a long time coming, study researchers say, as junk mail makes up about 50% of all mail delivered in the U.S. today. "Our survey is in line with consumer polls conducted over the last four decades that reflect a frustration with advertising mail," says co-author Chris Hoofnagle, a Berkeley Law lecturer and director of information privacy programs at the law school. "Americans may view advertising mail as a privacy issue because of database activities underlying the targeting of mail," says study co-author Jennifer M. Urban, assistant professor of law at Berkeley. "They also may dislike the sense of intrusion created when advertising material flows into the home." Hoofnagle and Urban say one big obstacle to Do Not Mail initiatives is the U.S. Postal Service, which has lost "tens of billions of dollars" in recent years, and on average, loses $57 million per day, and as a result is "courting" direct marketing companies (the primary purveyors of junk mail) to send more mail. "The USPS' fiscal challenges have created incentives for the agency that directly contravene recipients' desire to manage advertising mail," Urban says. "The Postal Service has created many innovations to help advertisers increase mail volume, but it's done little to assist Americans manage unwanted advertising mail." To cut down on your volume of direct mail, contact the Direct Marketing Association and ask them to have your name removed from mailing lists. Write them directly at:
