St. Mary's Health System is extremely proud to announce that Carol Godsey, Vice President of Warrick Operations and Administrator for St. Mary's Warrick Hospital in Boonville, is the winner of the 2009 Indiana Rural Health Association Leadership Award.
Godsey has been active in healthcare for 26 years, 17 of which have been spent within the St. Mary's Health System. Godsey is a hands-on administrator, who still gives her leadership team room to investigate possibilities and resolve issues. She serves as a dynamic mentor and always minimizes her own impact by crediting her team.
"Everybody in healthcare faces many daily challenges. This is especially true for rural health," says Godsey. "However, the outstanding team we have at St. Mary's Warrick enables us to successfully meet those challenges. I am honored and proud to be the recipient of this award, but it truly would not be possible without the efforts of our entire group."
The leadership award recognizes an outstanding individual, organization, company, governmental unit or other entity that has demonstrated an ability to guide and motivate in a direction that contributes to the betterment of rural health in Indiana. Godsey has shown an exemplary ability to lead in a positive manner and direction to ensure better health outcomes for our rural citizens. Even in the face of adversity, Godsey has succeeded in guiding her organization and others to meet the challenges and overcome the barriers that might otherwise have left our rural communities at a standstill in terms of improved access to quality services needed to ensure a healthier tomorrow.
Godsey's openness of spirit has brought the physicians, the St. Mary's Warrick Hospital Foundation and community leaders to a new understanding of what this Critical Access Hospital can and does represent for this area. She has embraced her role as a rural hospital administrator with a contagious spirit of vigor that inspires all those around her to achieve high levels of performance.
Godsey was nominated by Joyce Buxton, RN, BSN, COHN-S, MSM, Organizational Development Coordinator for St. Mary's Warrick Hospital. "Carol is always on the alert for opportunities yet keeps a vigilant eye toward our accountability with the 100% Access initiative driven by Ascension Health (the largest Catholic, non-profit health system in the country)," says Buxton. "I have never worked with anyone who works as diligently (and intelligently) as she does. She looks to the long vision of what Critical Access status means for those we serve. She rolls up her sleeves with us, whether it is spending a Saturday helping revitalize our hospital grounds or baking tasty treats for our hospital functions. She instills in us a desire to ask the hard questions and to not be content with easy answers. While some would wilt with the challenges she has encountered, these situations only seem to invigorate her passion for work."
Godsey has been the Vice President of Warrick Operations and the Administrator at St. Mary's Warrick Hospital for over three years.

Training aids for boxers
There are various ways that boxers can work on skills, and generally that requires equipment like hand wraps, focus mitts, a punching bag, jump rope, headgear, gloves, a mouthpiece and other equipment. Take a quick look at some of the ways you can improver your boxing training:
Boxing stands
A boxing stand is a metal stand normally made out of steel or iron. It's a multi-station punching bag where you can hang two heavy bag stations. In addition, you can hang one adjustable speed bag station and one double end striking bag station. Boxers can use all four stations simultaneously. These stands are freestanding and need no other support to keep from falling over. They are space-efficient and great for boxers to build up on overall skills. Choose a reputable brand like Everlast that gives you multiple color choices and select a size that fits into your space, and a weight that you can handle.
Everlast boxing gloves
Boxing gloves protect a boxer's hand and knuckles from the weight and surface of the bag during training, and from contact with other boxers. Boxers use different types of gloves, like heavily-padded sparring gloves used for practice fights and the lighter speed bag gloves to practice quick punches and to protect their hands while hitting opponents. Everlast boxing gloves are an established brand in boxing gear and come equipped with the highest quality and safety standards. Gloves are available in various sizes, weights and varieties. You can even choose your closures, like the simple slip on kinds and the zipper kinds.
Wavemaster punching bag
Punching bags are not only good for boxers but are also great for anyone who wants to vent pent-up frustrations or just get into shape and build up some serious stamina by punching the bag. Wavemaster has a range of boxing gear and you can take your pick from bags like heavy bags, speed bags, free standing punching bags, sparring gear, head gear, boxing gloves and more. The bags are made up of high density foam cores that absorb hard-hitting punches and the outside is made from durable vinyl. The balance in the self-contained base makes sure the bag stands upright with every hard punch and kick.
While these items are great for boxers to improve on their overall skills and footwork, they're useful for other people who want to build up their muscles and stamina too. Go in for reputed brands so they're durable and stable.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What do I get for buying a subscription?
- Our subscription benefits are explained on the Subscribe page.
- Which types of subscription are available?
We currently offer recurring monthly payments as well as one-off payments for one month.
You can choose either of the two subscription types on the Subscribe page, before you purchase your subscription – select "recurring subscription" if you wish to buy a recurring subscription which will renew itself automatically on a month to month basis, or "one-off subscription" should you wish to pay just once for one month.
Both subscription types are for the same subscription package, read more about its benefits here.
- What payment methods are available?
Subscriptions can be purchased online via PayPal, which is a secure and highly respected payment processor. In some territories, you can purchase a 'one-off' subscription with a credit card, even if you don't have a PayPal account.
To purchase a subscription, please go to the Subscribe page and follow the steps from there.
Other payment methods are not available at this time.
- Can I pay for a subscription with my credit card if I don't have a PayPal account?
Yes, you can purchase a one-off payment subscription with your credit card through PayPal, even if you don't have a PayPal account, provided that this service is available in your country. This option isn't available for recurring monthly subscriptions.
To do this, fill out the form for a one-off payment on the Subscription page and click "Buy Now". This will take you to PayPal; on the first page you get to, look for "Don't have a PayPal account? – Use your credit card or bank account (where available)" (check which PayPal services are available in your country here) and click "Continue", then follow the payment procedure provided by PayPal.
- I just subscribed, but it doesn't seem to have worked. What should I do?
It's advised that you wait 24 hours before you get worried, as it might take a while for your payment to be processed.
If you are still not marked as a subscriber after 24 hours, please head over to the Support Section to send us a message, along with a copy of your receipt, stating clearly your username and confirming the number of months you paid for.
- Can I top up my current subscription without having to wait for it to expire first?
Yes, you can top up your current subscription, if it's a one-off payment or a cancelled recurring subscription, with another one-off payment any time you want to.
By doing this you will add more days to your subscription; for example, if you currently have a subscription for one month, you can purchase another one-off subscription for one month and this extra month will be added to your current one, which means you would have two months worth of subscription.
You can't add a recurring subscription to an active one-off payment subscription, and you can't have a one-off payment subscription in addition to an active recurring subscription.
- Can I purchase a subscription for another user?
Yes, go to the Subscription gift page. Enter your friend's username, and click the "Subscribe a Friend" button.
If the subscription has been processed successfully, you will be notified and your friend will also receive a notification about your subscription gift.
You can currently purchase a one-off payment subscription for a friend for one month. It's not possible to set up a recurring monthly subscription for a friend.
- How can I cancel my monthly recurring subscription?
You can cancel your monthly subscription prior to the next billing date, which will stop the monthly recurring charges from that date onwards.
To do so, simply go to your Subscription settings page and click the "End subscription" button to go to your subscription details page on PayPal.
Alternatively, log into your PayPal account and go to the "Profile" sub-tab of the "My Account" tab. Choose "My Money" from the dropdown menu. In the "My pre-approved payments" section, click "Update". Choose your active Last.fm subscription, and click "Last.Fm Ltd.". You will be taken to the Subscription Details page from where you can cancel your subscription. (See PayPal's Help Centre for more help, too.)
It is not possible to cancel one-off payments.
- Where can I check how much longer I have left as a subscriber?
- To see how many days of subscription you have left, please check the "Subscription" tab in your settings; you will find this information towards the bottom of the page.
- Will buying a subscription allow me to listen to any track I want?
- No, our current basic subscription doesn't allow for any on-demand listening; a basic subscription will give you the benefits described here, but it won't allow you to play any tracks you want in full length that you can't listen to as a non-subscriber either.
- I'm a subscriber, so why am I seeing ads in videos?
If you subscribe, we won't show you our own Last.fm ads, but we won't be able to remove ads that come from our video partners. So if you watch videos on Last.fm, including the ones featured in the Music Player, you will still see some ads there.
This is because our video partners run their own adverts to cover their costs, to which a Last.fm subscription doesn't contribute.
- Why can't I listen to radio on my app?
- As of 28 April 2014, Last.fm radio is no longer available on any apps or devices. See our full announcement for more information.

Even more, compared to the figure you quote, 16%, which is against the competition, NVs last two generations fair worse than the card in question. What you don't have some witty viral marketing response already pre-cooked up for you for this one?
It depends! On what site or what type of metrics the sites use. Over-all gauges are clearly not the end-all-be-all but one site, for me, offers a solid gauge and that is ComputerBase.
2560 x 1600 x4 AA -- 8800 Ultra vs 280 GTX 50 percent.
2560 x 1600 x4 AA --- 285 GTX vs GTX 480 67 percent.
2560 x 1600 x4 AA ---- HD 6970 vs HD 7970 42 percent
Considering the move to 28 nm from 40 nm is substantial and significant the performance isn't for the HD 7970 but the performance is still welcomed and respectable. However, since the die is actually smaller, this may be the first time in GPU history that the MSRP percentage increase was actually higher than the performance increase. Execution has its rewards and AMD may be much more of a predator and aggressor this time and simply may take advantage by charging premiums based on the todays pricing of the GTX 580 -- an older -- year old -- 40nm, heavily premium priced sku. The GTX 580 is now the objective barometer of pricing when it was insane to buy one from the value minded, more logical choice that was the HD 6950 and 6970 for some. It seems not only did AMD do a 180 but many of their fans as well.

CNN, Newsfront Cult called Obamamania
How the News Became Propaganda
Comments | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us
The never-ending campaign of President Barack Obama finds a cornerstone in 24-hour television network CNN.
CNN, home of Wolf Blitzer and Larry King Live among other talking heads, now leads the Newsfront Cult called Obamamania.
While the viewers of most television networks watch the news, CNN viewers "wear the news":
"Apparently CNN, having abandoned any effort to appear impartial, is now selling T-shirts that commemorate Obama's newborn presidency," reader Fred Dardick wrote in a Canada Free Press (CFP) letter to the editor yesterday.
CNN T-shirts include slogans such as "Obama raises hand, lifts a nation" and "Obama: It's time to remake America".
"How is it possible for a major news organization to get away with this?" asks Dardick.
"This is anti-American to the core as far as I am concerned. CNN may as well be considered an extension of the apparently never ending Obama campaign."
CFP would answer Dardick's question in this way: Major television networks started moving away from the delivery of the news long before Senator Barack Obama appeared on the scene.
In those days, the news was quickly morphing into—"Entertainment".
During the presidential election campaign, television networks were joined by members of the print media, who jumped into the tank with Obama paving the way for the reality: "2008 the Year the Mainstream Media Died".
CNN is not only cashing in on the sales of the T-shirts, it provides tangible proof that "The News is Propaganda".

Making community participation meaningful
A handbook for development and assessment
Distributed for Policy Press at the University of Bristol
76 pages
This handbook is a companion volume to What works in assessing community participation? (The Policy Press, 2004) which documents the results of the road testing of two earlier frameworks for assessing community participation - Benchmarking community involvement in regeneration (Yorkshire Forward, 2000) and Auditing community participation: An assessment handbook (The Policy Press, 2000).Making community participation meaningful outlines key considerations that are necessary to ensure that community participation is effective; provides detailed sets of questions to enable stakeholders to assess the extent to which the indicators of success are being met; highlights a variety of resources which can be used by community groups to generate information and insight into the key issues and offers the real prospect of a commonly accepted assessment framework which has the authority to be adopted across sectors.

Seema Chandra , Food Editor, NDTV, Modified: July 20, 2013 10:08 IST
I am not a fan of dietary food supplements, as my views on food are a bit old world, you could say. My firm belief is that you should get your daily nutritional requirements from the food you eat, instead of popping pills and powders.
But all that changed recently. It all started when a friend who runs an organic store convinced me to try a new 'super food'. It was a powder and unlike other super foods like Quinoa or Goji berries, this was grown in India. Nothing exotic, nothing that was imported from across the seas. So I decided to do a bit of research and found lots of health-ridden potents - antioxidants, phyto-nutrients, vitamin A, iron and vitamin C and so on and so forth. Most crucially as my friend explained, it will fight fatigue and boost your immune system. So I decided to take the plunge and consumed it for over two months, almost daily. I knew I had stumbled upon something special.
Before you get too impatient, let me tell you that this miracle powder is called Moringa. It's the Moringa leaf that's dried at low temperatures and then crushed and made into a powder. You may not have heard about it, but it's nothing but drumstick powder from the Moringa tree, also called horseradish tree or drumstick tree.

Political InQueery: Tier-Two Glitterbombs
Looks like Michele Bachmann is the frontrunner again for poor decision-making, having signed a pledge from The Family Leader, an arch-conservative Iowa group, that included lots of cockamamie and offensive statements like the following:
Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA's first African-American President.
Yes, Bachmann signed this pledge to agree to all of the "vows" it listed—the above section is part of the marriage declaration—in order to get the group's endorsement in the election. This tiny exchange is so full of wrong, bloggers and reporters have been trying to unpack it since it happened last week. In addition to the many, many erroneous generalizations it makes about pornography, LGBTQ issues, slavery, and what marriage should look like, it codifies the most anti-intellectual attitudes in our election process and attaches political power to them. That active candidates (who receive millions of dollars in donations to be the individual who will govern the laws and policies of our land) should take such a rambling declaration of bigotry seriously is testament to the notion that not only have we shifted further right-ward, but that we're cleanly off the rails altogether.
I expect that Vander Plaats, the founder of The Family Leader, will be glitterbombed soon. If Newt Gingrich got a dose of party supplies for his anti-gay stance and writings, surely some of the pink stuff is coming Plaats' way, for his having written that being gay leads to increased mortality. I don't think he's referring to hate crimes when he brings that up, either.
Who else is risking a date with decoration? My list looks something like this:
Kurt Zellers—Speaker of the House in Minnesota, who continues to be paid during the government shutdown, while 22,000 state workers are now unemployed. Do not mess with Minnesota activists, Mr. Zellers. They've already struck twice. Other GOP officials have declined to receive their salaries while the budget is being negotiated. I think having a functioning government is better than abstaining from payment, but at least it's a gesture that makes sense.
Judson Phillips—The oft-named "head" of the Tea Party movement, he's an advocate for restricting voting rights to property owners, and has crafted much of the language around access to voting (read, check everyone's citizenship) that got picked up nationwide this year, which I wrote about a few weeks ago. Fully 27 states put something about restricting voting rights into their legislative process this spring. Taking away people's ballots? That seems to be high-risk behavior for getting a glitterbomb in one's lap.
Barack Obama—Well, thank goodness the President came out and said that Social Security isn't the source of the deficit. He must read Bitch. But it could be too late, he may already be on the glitter patrol list somewhere, for offering to put Social Security on the table in debt ceiling and budget negotitations. With some activists, like AARP members, he's on thin ice. It could be that a fistfull of glitter could remind him that he needs those voters in 2012.
Herman Cain—He could have some glitter coming his way for saying at an Iowa campaign stop that the US should protect its border with an alligator-filled moat and an electrified "Great Wall of China." Yes, he said this in early June, but it only recently got noticed. Hispanic groups have called on him to drop his candidacy. Running as far back as he is, Iowa's results may cause him to do just that, all on his own. And whom did he say this to, by the way? Vander Plaats and The Family Leader.
If you don't have a subscription to award-winning 80-page quarterly Bitch magazine, it's definitely time to start one.

As an Iowan, I am always so disappointed to learn about what politicians are up to in my hometown (Ames). The actions of a few politicians and a few special interest groups serve to make the entire state look backwards. On the other hand, the country only tunes in to Iowa for a few months during the straw polls; Iowans have to deal with these candidates all year long--no matter how recently the last election was won.
I kind of feel that way about
I kind of feel that way about the whole country. I want a t-shirt that says, "I swear we're not all that stupid."
That Marriage Vow thing
Odd, odd, ODD, isn't it, that defense of marriage and family JUST HAPPENS to coincide with so many items on the Tea Party/GOP wishlist, innit? "Fidelity to the Constitution"? "Downsizing government"?
I also love how they bravely resist the anti-woman religious-based totalitarianism of Sharia Law... by advocating religious-based totalitarianism. Not much for introspection, are they?
And if you look at the most recent edition of The Vow, it appears that they've shoved the stuff about slavery down the memory hole. Can you retroactively edit something you've asked people to take a sacred vow to?

OK Google Droid Commands for Easier Time Management
I know, Apple had this YEARS ago and we were using it back then. Now Google has commands on your Droid phone and tablets. I think it works on the tablets. I know it works on the Droid phone using the latest Droid OS. This cool feature called Hotwords on your phone starts with OK Google or by pressing the little mic up at the top left corner of the screen.
I've been able to set reminders, alarms, and calendar appointments which are also saved to my google account. This is way cool. I haven't found a way to share these events with other people from the Droid, but I know I can do it with google calendar.

Change Your Search Add-Ons to Include SwagBucks and Make Money!
We're all using SwagBucks by now, right? At least I hope you would be using a search engine that makes you money for simply search and doing what you do every day. I bet that some of you even use that search engine in the upper right corner of your browser and you haven't even changed it yet to support SwagBucks. Here's how to do it to make sure you get the most out of your search:
- Click on the little icon representing your search engine. Right now it is most likely set to google or yahoo.
- Click on Manage Search Engines
- Click on Get More Search Engines
- Type SwagBucks in the Add Ons search window
- Click on Add to Firefox.
Once this is added, and you shouldn't need to restart your browser, move it to the top of the list so it is your default search. Do this by following these steps:
- Click on the little search engine icon/logo in the search bar.
- Select Manage Search Engines.
- SwagBucks will be at the bottom. Scroll down and click on it.
- Click on Move Up until it moves all the way to the top of the list.
Remember, you must be logged into SwagBucks every time you use the search tool to get credit. I'm usually always logged in, but be sure to check.
Need a Stopwatch for Thawing a Turkey or Managing Your Webinars?
Yes, it's Thanksgiving again and like most Internet marketing moms I am thawing the turkey while writing up blog posts and doing some social networking. So how do I keep track of the 30 minutes when I need to change my turkey thawing water? I use the Free Countdown Timer the I downloaded from CNET. I can run multiple countdowns on this clock which is so helpful for cooking while I'm working. I can have all the oven timers go off at different times without worrying about burning anything.
Not only is it helpful with cooking, it is also helpful when timing web seminars on Google Hangouts and other web seminar meetings. It's great for timing web video recordings and mp3's. It's good for timing contests during your seminars and managing your time while doing the seminar.
Imagine dividing your seminar topics into 4 different topics with a beginning, middle, and end helping you navigate when to switch topics and sections into your webinar. I run it on my second monitor while working in my webinar so I know when to change topics. I can also time cooking dinner during the seminars because hey, isn't that what all of us Internet marketing moms do?
Download it and see if it works for you. I know it did for me.
Earn Giftcards By Searching the Internet
If you join SwagBucks you can earn giftcards for places like amazon.com and starbucks just by searching the web. I know that I search the web a lot for research so it really does pay off. You can also watch videos, participate in searches, and do other activities.
I know Bing offers such a service, but as far as I know Bing does not have referral codes that give you even more money and the giftcards available on SwagBucks are 25 points cheaper than Bing–at least the ones I researched were.
So come on board and join me at SwagBucks. Search the web and make some amazon money. They make great Christmas presents for others or you can use them to buy gifts for yourself. :)
How to Delete WordPress Post Spammers
If you're ever caught off guard by a WordPress spammer who spams your blog with some kind of script, the easiest way to get rid of all the SPAM is to do it manually. I tried a few tools on a blog that was hijacked by a groups of unscrupulous 3rd world country spammers who had somehow hijacked the registration and set it to author. Within days I had about 8,000 new authors and about 25,000 spam posts. Aye yi yi!
I started to delete the posts first and then realized they're just posting while I'm deleting and scheduling for the future. I tried a couple plugins to delete posts and authors in bulk, but the amount of authors and posts would just make the plugin spin until it timed out. It was easiest to go the manual route:
- Back up your database. Always.
- Transfer all known authors to an unused role like editor or subscriber. This depends on how many you need to save that are actual users so be careful not to delete the ones you want to save.
- Click on Users from the left menu.
- Click on Author.
- In the "Screen Options" tab at the top right, enter how many users to show on the screen. It will only go up to 999, which is too big for the system to handle anyway so pick around 400. I tried various numbers and 400 was the best one for me to work with.
- Go through all the authors page by page and any that have over 500 posts that are not regular authors delete them manually.
- Click on Delete All Posts so the posts from these authors are completely removed.
- Click on confirm deletion.
- Then go through the process again until all the authors with a lot of posts are gone. Now just focus on the rest and delete them in bulk in the same manner.
- Change your password and if necessary the default registration role.
That's it. It was really easy once I got the process down. I was going to go through the backend and do it, but this wouldn't have deleted the posts and the author at the same time. I really think the WordPress admin menu is the fastest and cleanest way to get it done.
Always Register Your Trademark – Mine Was Stolen
I have been using this geekmom name for a long time for online business and one day several women got together and bought the domain I had been saving up to purchase. The domain was originally parked by a private party in 2000 so I bought geekmom.net in 2001. Then geekmom.com came available in 2010. Now, you have to understand that in 2005 I wasn't at the place I wanted to be financially. I couldn't come up with five grand for the domain and an attorney for the trademark so they bought it and, without even checking to see if someone else had been running a business under that name, they bought it and took my original idea and ran with it. Of course, they had more people they knew in the business and a publisher at wired.com to help them move it along.
So, here I am. I won't change my name. I had it first and I like it. My business platform still caters to geekmoms and geekdads who want to run their own online business. I had the original blog in a phpWebSite/mysql platform before WordPress and Drupal ever came out and if you check the waybackwhen machine you'll see it has been registered to me and has gone through many different looks.
The lesson here is always get your unique name trademarked and grab every single social network you can using your name so this doesn't happen to you. You can use a service like tradmarkia or another to get registered.
Amazon Gift Cards for Donations
I have a friend whose sister just went through something absolutely horrible and lost everything. She has two young children and as of right now they have no extra clothes, toys, books, or a home.
I'm asking for donations for these great people through amazon gift cards. What I will do is forward the giftcard number to her so they can just choose what they need to replace what they had.
If you are interested, please send an amazon gc to therealgeekmom [at] gmail.com and in the message put "I Love Family" on the card so I know who it's for. You can also email me for more information if needed.
Thanks :)

Get Facebook Likes By Commenting on Pages
Getting Facebook likes is all the chatter these days as more and more people use Facebook as a form of marketing. There seems to be a new method almost every day on how to get more likes on your company Facebook page, but all it is really about is exposure.
One way to get exposure is to find articles and blogs that use Facebook as a commenting system. By using the Facebook tools, these companies have made it possible so readers can comment on their pages without starting an account on their blogs. This makes it easier for the members to leave comments.
While I'm not so sure this is a great idea for your blog as these members are not leaving important information on your site for your list efforts, it is a great way for you to promote your Facebook page. People will see your name and if it looks interesting enough to them then they will click on your name which, depending on who you are logged in as, will lead to either your personal Facebook page or your fan page. If your page is interesting enough, then it will lead to more Facebook Likes.
Places that I've found that use the Facebook comment system include wired.com and a few news stations scattered around the Internet. I know there are many more as I have commented on some. Just drop by a few of these places every day and leave messages using your Facebook page and you should get people clicking on your page which ultimately end up at your website.

Look – White Gold and Shimmery Green
OMG, what is this? A look? SERIOUSLY? OMG! Alert the media! 😉
For those who missed why the looks have been sparse, the biggest reason was just my skin issues. I was doing the whole "no makeup" look in literal translation to help give my skin a better chance to heal/recover from the breakouts. Even though I started doing makeup with bold eye looks and no face makeup… I learned how much nicer it looks when the face is complete (even if it's only a little bit on the face). Anyway, my skin is getting much better, so I hope to do more looks for you all
I'm on my way to do a bridal trial, so wish me luck!
How are you all doing? Life been treating you well? I'm a bit behind in all areas of mine… hoping to respond to comments tomorrow (so please don't think I'm ignoring you!).
P.S. – I didn't realize the crease wasn't quite fully blended until I saw pics here, so know I went back and fixed that!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: Provence pigment (nude beige), Nylon eyeshadow (white-gold), Romp eyeshadow (dark gold-brown), Humid eyeshadow (forest green), Overgrown eyeshadow (bright yellow-green), Urban Decay Stash 24/7 Liner (antique gold), Givenchy Kajal liner (black), Plushlash mascara (black)
- Cheeks: Spaced Out blush (soft peach)
- Lips: Gentle Simmer slimshine (sheer coral), Le Metier de Beaute Papaya Creme (shimmery peach-gold)
- Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 214 (smudge brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: Provence = Baselight; Overgrown = Sour Lemon; Spaced Out = Springsheen; Gentle = Vegas Volt (applied sheerly)
Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Provence pigment all over the lid as the base with the 249. On the inner lid, apply Nylon eyeshadow using the 239. Apply Romp eyeshadow to the middle of the lid. Darken crease with Humid eyeshadow using the 226. Overlay Overgrown eyeshadow using the 239 in the crease. Sweep Nylon eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Urban Decay Stash Liner on lower lash line, Givenchy Kajal Liner on lower water line, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Spaced Out blush using the 129. Apply Gentle slimshine to lips, and then top with Papaya Creme lipgloss for color and shine.

The past, present, and future potential of NASA's nuclear space rocket program December 24, 2014 at 11:30 am
Shortly after Apollo 11, Wernher von Braun, one of the fathers of rocket science, proposed that we develop a reusable Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) rocket to colonize the Moon. Today, NASA engineers are still struggling to pick up where he left off. An interesting technical report that NASA prepared for the Space 2013 Conference and Exposition has recently been released. In it, we can find some of the latest, and oldest, ideas for a NASA-made nuclear thermal rocket that would take us back to the Moon.

Cal will be played by a face familiar to many GL viewers-- Paul Michael Valley. You may remember him for his short lived performance in the role of Joel Silver in 2002 on GL, or as Josef Avalon in One Life to Live. However, many will remember him in the role that once made him famous, as Ryan Harrison on the much missed drama, Another World. He played that part through the 90's while viewers obsessed over his affair with Vicky. The pair made up one of the most popular supercouples of the decade until he was shot to death by his own brother in a controversial storyline.
In his time away from daytime, Valley has been hard at work developing his craft on stage and working on a variety of primetime shows in small roles that expand his range. Let's hope that he brings his characteristic charm into Springfield and Reva's life.

This is a Recap of Boardwalk Empire, Season 1, Episode 10, entitled "The Emerald City". The title refers to Margret reading the Wizard of Oz and telling her kids that Harrow is the faceless sniper from the book. That's the only spoiler in this Recap.
Agent Van Alden's lone witness is dead, he can't re-interrogate Jimmy, his partner Agent Baby is exonerated, he has no leads, and his supervisor wants results or he'll be chasing moonshiners down in Florida (which he'd probably love). It's time for…
That's right, Van Alden completely loses his sh*t this week, beginning with a visit to turn up the creepy-heat on Margaret:
Completely out of leads, Van Alden attempts to shame Margaret into turning against Nucky by showing her a picture of herself at Ellis Island that seems to have been smeared by paper towels on a number of occasions. (Can I write that on this site? If anyone at Vh1 wants me to delete that lemme know).
Surprisingly, Margaret is creeped out by this behavior from a Federal officer:
Calm down, Margaret, he's just Facebook stalking you before it's a thing. Van Alden totally saves face by declaring he's not as concerned about the law as he is about saving Margaret "FROM THE FIRES OF HELL should you fail to repent!" Man, remember back when people believed that crap? Hilarious! Oh, a strong majority of the country still does? Hm. Well, carry on then.
Van Alden realizes that showing Margaret a personal photo of herself and admitting to ogling it has not solved organized crime for good, so he just sucks it up and does the least Van Alden-y thing imaginable: He goes to a bar.
Needless to say, Van Alden ordering alcohol is a bit awkward:
As if Lieutenant Hellfire pounding illegal whiskey isn't out-of-character enough, Van Alden then finds the courage to sit down with Lucy and offer her a cigarette. Lucy's all, "Hey there handsome, I sound even more like Tai from Clueless than I used to."
The result of this encounter is in the first pic of this Recap. Turns out, Van Alden did have a lead after all…into Lucy's vagina! Fedora high-five!
QUICK SIDENOTE: I'm home for Thanksgiving and watched this episode On Demand on my parents' tv, and just kept expecting my mom to walk in while I was constantly rewinding and pausing that sex scene to try to get the perfect photo of Van Alden's orgasm face. Even if I did convince her it was for my job, it would've been even harder to explain how the 40 million dollars she spent on my schooling resulted in me professionally pausing pictures of fictional characters' orgasms to upload to the internet. Has any parent ever had to deal with this realization? Let's just say my parents love me and move on.
Elsewhere on the Boardwalk, Jimmy and Angela seem to be getting along great, having Ghost sex and whatnot, until they stroll by the photo store and Jimmy's kid says "There's mommy's kissing friend!" Unaware of the steamy lesbian subplot shoehorned into the series, Jimmy assumes this means that mustache photo man is the kissing friend, and when Jimmy assumes people are kissing friends, doors get broke'd:
Angela later apologizes to Mary for the fisticuffs mixup, and Mary suggests that they run away to Paris together and raise Tommy to speak French and go to a school where the kids "wear Grecian tunics and find their muse to free their spirits." Angela says, "That sounds like nonsense to me, and that's coming from someone who went to school in the 1910s and studied nothing but leeches."
In Chicago, Al Capone is living it up, putting loads in Johnny Torrio's cigarettes and covering Whoopee cushions with fake vomit. Johnny's like, "I know we just took over the Spencer Gifts racket but you gotta grow up!" Al has an epiphany when he and Johnny create a real-life joke:
After speaking with 20s Alan King about Bar Mitzvahs, Al decides to apologize to Johnny for his behavior, and replaces his driver's cap with a fedora. Clearly, he got the message of Judaism: Dignify your hat.
After the Van Alden incident, Margaret has trouble composing herself for her speech to the League Of Women Voters (formerly the League Of Women Who Enjoy Pretty Flowers). She doesn't want to lie to them when endorsing Nucky's mayoral candidate, but she ends up giving a rousing speech, saying "With our newly gained right also comes responsibility," a quote from the famous Spider-Lady comic books.
At the end of her speech, Margaret notices Nucky and the former mayor machoin' it up and barely paying attention, and the seed of doubt planted by Van Alden begins to sprout into a little root of…slightly more doubt.
Nucky, meanwhile, receives a visit from the cartoon character Mickey Doyle, who has decided to flip sides and help Nucky set up the D'Alessio Brothers. Since we know that Steve Buscemi and Michael Pitt aren't going anywhere on this show, and we also know that Meyer Lansky, Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano, and Al Capone go on to live well-documented lives, that pretty much means that the D'Alessios are superf***ingdead.
They get Chalky White to pretend to strike a deal with Lansky — who chose his alter-ego "Michael Lewis" so he wouldn't have to change his monogrammed shirts – cool detail, Boardwalk Empire! — and end up surrounding the D'Alessios in an indie looking storeroom:
Jimmy shoots one brother in the head, and Chalky strangles the other to death after he threatens that his friends will come back and "string him up even higher" (note to threat dude: getting strung up higher wouldn't really be any more torturous, just more work for you). Nucky then puts a scare into Lansky in a stock mob movie shot:
But Nucky ultimately lets him go to inform Rothstein of what he witnessed. Nucky returns home just after Margaret has finished apologizing to Harrow for her treatment of him, and when she asks where Nucky has been, he says "Planning our election strategy. FOR THE MURDER ELECTIONS! Nah kidding the regular elections. Sup with you?"
The episode ends with Margaret staring into the mirror, probably because she's so happy that everything she's doing is the right thing and completely guilt free. If this season ends with Margaret realizing that Van Alden was right and making it up to him with repentant doggystyle, it will be my favorite show ever.

Re: Megaupload is shut down by the feds, and its executives arrested.
Yes, but .... the very nature of the Internet is that it can't easily be closed down. As fast as you shut one area another pops up. That was the idea behind it in the first place.
Authorities the world over are worried sick about this because it undermines them. People are reacting in all sorts of ways that could never have been imagined. The music business is just one that is changing as a result of the Internet. The political scene is also changing as a result of the actions of Mr Assange. I don't suppose he is the only one either.
Without large scale oppression of the Internet I don't see how any of these things can be stopped.

New York reporter Shira Levine ran into Kid Rock, divorced and full of vim on New Year's Eve, at the party he was hosting at the Gansevoort. "I'm a lot of fun at parties," he announced. Shira tactfully did not mention that she wasn't so sure about that; she had, after all, seen that video of him and Scott Stapp. They enjoyed a few moments of conversation, and he asked for her name. "Shira," she said.
Then he made his indecent proposal. "Shira, will you marry me?"
"No," she said. "I'm not marrying anybody who has been married as many times as you." Shira's mom raised her right, you see.
"I've only been married once!" Kid protested. "I got married to the same girl like five times. Does that count?"
Shira wasn't sure. She sized Kid up. He was wearing a white tracksuit, a bowler hat, and a fur stole. "Would you convert to Judaism?" she asked.
Kid replied enthusiastically: "Yeah! If I can get lifted up on the chair at the wedding! I love Jewish people."
Shira had heard this from men before. It usually meant they were after her money. "What do you love so much about Jewish people?" she asked warily.
"They just fucking got 50-caliber fucking guns in Israel. They don't give a fuck. They'll unload on anybody. 'Fuck with us? We'll fuck you up.' That's my motto in life. 'Be nice to everybody, but if somebody fucks with you, FUUUUCK them up.' We're fucking saving your country basically."
"Thanks, but I'm not Israeli, just Jewish," Shira said.
"Same thing. You say tomato, I say fuck off!" Kid Rock let loose a big, raucous laugh.
They discussed Kid Rock's involvement with the USO, the "Hollywood fucks" that Kid wished would get more involved with the organization, and the upcoming Iowa caucuses. "I had a great conversation with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Spain last week," Kid confided. "He asked me what I thought of the country, and I told him what I thought. I won't share it with you, but I told him that I know this much: that as popular as I am as an entertainer, I'm not educated enough in the area of public service or educated on world events to talk about it with you. But I'll tell you what the people in my community think and that's all I can tell you. You know what people should do no matter who is president? They should support that president and be Americans."

Gyrokinesis® Week of May 4-9 , 2014
$650.00 – $3,550.00 (based on accommodation type)This workshop's start date has passed.
Workshop Details
Gyrokinesis is a movement methodology based on circular and spiraling body motion. It uses the natural movement capabilities of the spine to increase the circulation of vital energies.
Gentle undulations, spirals, and waves stimulate and activate all systems and tissues within the body. Through rhythm and synchronized breathing, an internal massage effect is created. The circular movements open all joints systematically and strengthen their surrounding structures. They stretch and strengthen major muscle groups through full-body coordination. Taking this journey through your entire body opens your awareness to your energetic and physical structures.
Each day starts with the awakening of your body, followed by a full Gyrokinesis class, and ends with meditation. Through this process you explore the interconnection between movement, breath, sound vibration, and subtle energy flows.
The workshop is open to all levels. It is an opportunity for an in-depth Gyrokinesis experience taught by one of the most experienced teachers of this system. Weather and fire season permitting, a sweat lodge may be offered, for which participants will be asked to make a small donation. Please bring something to scrub with, like luffa gloves, wash cloth, or towel.

Ethics and Eichmann
To the Editor:
If we follow Professor Oscar Handlin's thesis as propounded in the August issue of COMMENTARY to its "logical" conclusion, then we would have to assume that the same argument would permit Adolf Hitler to live in peace if he were alive today and residing in a country such as Argentina.
My main purpose in writing, however, is not to be critical of Professor Handlin, for it is rather difficult for me to equate ethics with the heinous crimes committed by Eichmann and his ilk. I am writing primarily to commend Norman Podhoretz and Milton Himmelfarb for their courage and clarity in their articles in the August issue. . . .
Irving Bernstein
Beverly Hills, Calif.
To the Editor:
If Professor Handlin was distressed by Dr. Jacob Robinson's article [July] on Eichmann, I am equally distressed by the Professor and the scores of Jewish beatniks who have made a pastime of compiling contemptuous criticism of Israeli management of the Eichmann affair. . . .
I warmly applaud Milton Himmelfarb for his comments on this subject. He indeed belongs "In the Community." I should, in addition, like to compliment the Editor for his forthright opinion on this subject.
(Dr.) Norman S. Jaffe
Miami, Florida
To the Editor:
When the Israeli government consented to the abduction of Adolph Eichmann from Argentina, they did so with full knowledge of the risks involved in committing an unfriendly act against a friendly government. . . . To try to give an illegal act the cloak of legality as Jacob Robinson did is an unfortunate defense. . . .
The Israeli government now has Eichmann, which is the most important fact. This should be applauded by anyone who believes the guilty should be punished, but let us not be so naive as to maintain they got him legally or ethically.
Robert S. Leaf
New York City
To the Editor:
Mr. Norman Podhoretz in his remarks in "The Issue" merely adds confusion to the already complex Eichmann case. . . .
Mr. Podhoretz measures Eichmann's life against those of six million Jews—and he recoils from what he sees. Surely, the death of six million Jews and the behavior of the Nazis were unprecedented, calling for something unique; but Eichmann is simply a man whose death presumably honors the memory of his victims. This is not unique; it is merely another killing in a time when mass killing is restrained only by the poor "image" it creates. . . .
Paul D. Velde
Milwaukee, Wisc.
To the Editor:
Although brief, Oscar Handlin's comment in reply to Jacob Robinson's article is the best statement on the Eichmann affair that I have yet read. . . .

Descripción (El texto procesado por OCR puede contener errores)
Sept. 13, 1938. ca. ZANINOVICH DOOR LOCKING BAR Filed Jan. 25, 1938 W/AcV/A WITNESSES W INVENTOR Gear-5e zaninovich/ ATTORNEYS Patented Sept. 13, 1938 UNITED states esrss'r @FFWE 3 Claims.
This invention relates to locking bars for doors and particularly to an improved construction for looking a sliding door, an object being to provide a simple construction which will clamp the door 5 against the building or its frame at both sides when the bar is fully functioning.
Another object of the invention is to provide a locking bar for sliding doors wherein the bar is pivotally mounted on the door and coacts with 10 interlocking members at each side.
A further object of the invention is to provide a locking bar for sliding doors which may be integral throughout or may be made in'two or more parts and adjustably connected together so 15 as to adapt the bar to doors of different sizes.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. l is a'side view of a bar in functioning position disclosing an embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional View through Fig. 1 on the line 2-2;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional View through Fig. 1 approximately on the line 33;
Fig. 4 is a perspective View of the locking bar shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 but showing a modified construction of bar;
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary sectional View through Fig. 5 approximately on the line 66.
30 Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, I indicates the side of a building, as for instance a barn, and 2 a door runway. A door 3 is slidingly mounted on the runway 2 so as at one time to cover the door opening and at 35 another time to expose the same.
Sliding doors similar to door 3 are old and well known and usually rather loosely contact the wall of building I. In the present invention there is provided a locking bar 5 which not only looks the 40 door 3 closed but causes the same to press against the building I as illustrated particularly in Fig. 3. The locking bar 5 is made from a piece of metal, as for instance steel, and is provided with a stiffening or reinforced rib 6 extending from one end to the other centrally except for the space I which is reserved for the head of a pivotal bolt 8 which extends through the aperture 9. Bolt 8, as shown in Fig. 2, extends through a sleeve I which is permanently fixed in the door 3 and 50 which is preferably made of metal. At one end the bar is formed with an apertured enlargement I I extending from one side of the bar. This enlargement is adapted to accommodate one leg of a U-shaped catch l2, which catch is preferably 55 slightly upset at I3 so that it cannot be removed from its position. The free leg I4 of catch I2 is adapted to be inserted into an eye I5 secured to the wall of building I in any desired manner, as for instance by having a bolt extension l6 extend therethrough and a suitable nut applied. 5 At the opposite end of the bar 5 there is provided a hinge knuckle ll which coacts with knuckles I8 on an L-shaped hasp I9. A suitable pintle 20 connects the knuckles together so that the hasp i9 may swing back and forth as desired. The 10 other end of the hasp is provided with a slot 2| which is adapted to readily slide over an eye 22 secured in place in any suitable manner to the wall I, as for instance similar to eye I3. The locking bow or shackle 23 of a padlock 24 is adapted to be inserted into the eye, as shown in Fig. 1, when the bar is in full functioning position. This prevents either end of the bar from becoming released and also acts with the catch I2 in holding the door 3 against the wall I.
When it is desired to open the door 3, lock 24 is removed and then the bar 5 is swung upwardly, for instance to the dotted position shown in Fig. 1. This upward movement will cause the leg I4 of catch I2 to move out of the eye I5. 25 The door 3 is then free to slide back and forth on the runway 2.
Instead of having the bar 5 made to fit only a certain size door, the same inventive concept could be arranged in a modified structure which would fit different size doors.
A modified form of the invention is shown in Fig. 5, in which it will be seen that the bar 5 is formed of a tubular part 25 and a rod part 26. These parts are each provided with apertures, namely, apertures 21 and 28. A bolt 8' is adapted to be inserted through any of these apertures after they have been properly aligned. It will be understood, however, that the sleeve 1 IE] is preferably central of the door whether the 4 door is large or small, and the adjustment of the parts 25 and 26 will take place before the bolt 8' is applied. Aside from these detail structures, the construction and arrangement of bar 5' is the same as bar 5 and the same reference numerals will be used.
I claim:
1. A locking structure for a door comprising a bar adapted to extend from one side edge to the other side edge of the door, means for pivotally mounting the bar to the door, a catch structure arranged at each end of the bar body, a fixed eye interlocking with one of said catch structures, a second fixed eye interlocking with the second catch structure, and a padlock shackle extending through said second-mentioned fixed eye.
2. In a sliding door locking bar, a bar body having an aperture arranged centrally thereof, a tubular enlargement at one end, a substantially U-shaped catch having one leg rotatably mounted in said tubular enlargement, said bar body at the opposite end having a hinge knuckle, a latch formed with a pair of hinge knuckles coacting with the first-mentioned hinge knuckle, a pintle for pivotally connecting said knuckles together, said latch having an eye-receiving slot, a pivotal bolt extending through the central aperture of said bar body and the door on which the locking bar is mounted, means coacting with one leg of said U-shaped catch for holding said door in a given position, and auxiliary locking means ing position, a latch structure pivotally connected to the opposite end of said bar, a second eye member interlocking with said latch structure, and a padlock shackle for preventing disengagement of said second eye member from said latch structure.

Not all mashups show locations on land. Here are some "at-sea" Google Maps mashups:
Global Ocean News Map - The Ocean Channel has made use of DIY Google Maps creator Mapbuilder.net to create the Global Ocean News Map. The news-map aggregates ocean-themed stories and places the stories on the map where they are taking place with a nifty little "O"-cean icon! :)
World Dive Atlas - WannaDive.net is a site that allows you to post and read about world dive sites. It has begun to integrate Google Maps throughout the site. A Google Map is now displayed on many of the featured dive sites, and the Zones and Countries section has overlays of various dive sites within that region.
Shipwreck Map - This Google Map mashes up with the shipwreck database published by the NOAA. The info-balloons shows you the wreck name, depth, date and latitude and longitude of the shipwreck. Search the database if you're trying to locate a specific wreck.
Submarine Wreck Map - From the same site that has produced the Shipwreck Map, this map helps you locate sub-wrecks within a certain radius. Center the map using the circular target, then search for the nationality of the wreck.
Here some other previously mentioned Google Maps mashups that plot locations over water:

Texas House Committee To Take Up State Budget
KRWG News – AUSTIN, Texas (krwg) The next state budget is moving on down the road.
The House budget committee is set to take up their version of the state's spending plan for the next two years on Wednesday. The initial plan, which is being written with a revenue shortfall of more than $14 billion, underfunded schools by almost $10 billion and made massive cuts to health and human services.
An agreement to dip into the state's reserve fund allows lawmakers to lessen those cuts, though not by much.
The House Appropriations Committee is expected to take a vote on the bill Wednesday.

It's still on the ballot for next month: the issue of casinos.
You get to decide if you want seven more of them in New York.
A lawyer had challenged the way the issue is worded on the ballot because it almost sounds like a campaign ad, promising jobs and lower taxes. But a Supreme Court justice said the lawsuit was filed too late to stop the voting.
The gambling industry spent more than $2 million on campaign contributions for politicians in Albany to get the issue on the ballot and they gave governor Cuomo alot of money for his campaign…more than a quarter million dollars. And Cuomo has been aggressively pushing the casinos.
